Thief Cleverness. A magistrate's clerk has been known to have his tie pin stolen while lu court, and one In Birmingham a few years ago lost his coat in the same way, but a more remarkable example perhaps of a thief's cleverness under the very eyes of the police was that of the burglar at Clerkenwell who man aged to conceal two diamond rings while the police were searching bim and passed one of them to his wife in the cell while the police were looking on.

I The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There Is a disease prevailing in this j country most dangerous because so deccp ~ " tive. ' Many sudden deaths are caused by it - heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are, often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al lowed lo advance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs or the kidneys themselves break down and v/astt away cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure ls obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys, if you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald ing pain in passing lt, and overcomes that unpleasant .necessity of being compelled to jgo often during the day, and to get up many times during the night.'

A Wonder ut l'reeoclly. Christian lieiuecker was boru nt Lu beck on the Util of February, 1721. When only ten months old he could re peat every word spoken to him. At twelve months of ape he had memo rized all the principal events In the I Pentateuch. liefere he lind finished I his second year of existence he had I learned all the historical parts of both the Old and the .New Testament. At the age of three he could reply correct ly to all questions put to bim regard ins universal liistory and geography, and lu the same year he learned to speak both Latin and French. In his fourth year he employed his time in studying religion';, especially the history of the Christian church. Ile was not only abie lo glibly repeat all that In* had read, but was also able to reason ?villi cr.usjderable of judg ment and to give h's own opinion of things in general. The king of Den mark wished to see this wonderful j child. so he was taken to Copenhagen, j After his return to Lubeck he learned to write and was beginning on the study (if music and mathematics; but, his cous:?tnt ion being pery weak, he took down und died on .lune 27. 1725. aged four years, four months and twenty-one days. What a wonderful ] record for such a short life! Battered Locks. In Abyssinia one method of doing the hair that ls adopted by warriors is to stroll into the market place, buy a pound of butter and. putting it upon the top of the hair, stand still while the sun arranges things. When the bair is thus dressed with melted butter the Abyssinian knows that fute cannot or will not touch him. Ile ls a picture of well dressed elegance done in oils. Another style is to tress the hair, and every tress means something. A young warrior with n bead of hair untressed is of no account He-bas not yet killed a man. When, however, he has done so all his hair is shaved off except enough to make one tress, which is of the sume signification as a notch on a pistol stock. After that every man he ' kills entitles bira to add another tress until as a conquering hero of 100 tress es he is a formidable man to try con I elusions with. Crinoline. Crinoline bad its origin in a woven fabric composed of hair and linen (flax) warp; hence the name. This fabric was first used for shoes, thfn for bon nets, the word being coined In 1S30. As this article was costly and did not extend the dress to the desired bulk light steel hoops were fitted with tape upon the bird cage principle. So popu lar was the crinoline In 1SG2 that the rolling of the steel developed a great trade in Sheffield, and one firm alone averaged an output of from ten to fif teen tons a week. Several deaths oc curring by fire through the use of crinoline killed the fashion, but Dr. Richardson in his "Field of Diseases" gives an instance of a lady escaping from the effects of being struck by lightning by the hoops acting as con ductors. Renrrangrlnjc the Dtiitla. "You are charging me $7 a week for board and lodging, Mrs. Irons," said the gray haired person of the name of Harris. "May I ask how you would Itemize it? What part of it is for board?" "Five dollars," replied the landlady. "And $2 for my room?" "Yes." "Well, if you don't mind, Mrs. Irons," he said, proceeding to square up for another week, "we'll consider hereaft er that I'm paying $5 for lodging and $2 for board. It will seem more as if I were getting the worth of my money." -Chicago Tribune. Bird* That Lar Four Egen.

The eggs are arranged in the nest or on the bare ground with their small ends to gether, and ns they are pyrlform In shape they join In to perfection. The eggs of tho snipe and plover groups are proportionately exceedingly large for the size o? the bird, and the saving of space by this arrangement undoubt edly answers a purpose. Why They Parted.

Sj COUNTESS TOLSTOI. r?ie Brilliant but Modest Wiitc of th Greut RuNRlnn Writer. Countess Tolstoi ls a wonderful worn in. nnd but for ber genius ber distin ?Ulsbed husband, the great Russian vriter, would today be a beggar, a de xepit invalid, with his physical pow ers wasted and gone years ago. Mme. Tolstoi, handsome, highly educated, ?ractlcal, has been the power behind he throne, engineer of the elaborate L'olstoi machinery, which so speedily voukl have gone to smash without her. she persists in keeping herself in the background and is quite content to re nnin unknown. When Count Tolstoi met her, she was i mere girl, the daughter of a phy ilclan in Moscow. He was already a aded man of the world, with strange eligious ideas just beginning to crop mt. He had sold his estates and had lecided never to marry. Then he met COUNTESS TOLSTOI he countess, and she changed the vhole world for him. They were mar ried iu J .Sf 32, and she began her life of ronstant self sacrifice by going out to t little hut on the Polyann estate, all hat was left of the big house. There she lived for seventeen years n a lonely, deserted place, milc? away "rom town. Tolstoi was then going up md down the Russian empire studying ?ocia 1 conditions and absent from home !or months at a time. The countess at ended to her housework-they were :oo poor to have many servants. She lursed each one of her thirteen chil iren. She dispensed with governesses ind taught them herself German, French and English, gave them music e-ssuiis. linnie their clothes and her twa Then, as soon as her husband be jun a book, she began revising it. ,'ranslatlng il from Russian into French )r German, copying It in her clear handwriting, so that the printer could .'ead it-she Is about the only person ?vho can make head or tail of the count's writing-and attending to the publication of the book wheu it was Inlshed. Count Tolstoi pays no attention at all to the royalties on his books, and he ;ven went so far years ag? as to de clare to his wife that they had no right io receive money for his work. But as the family property had to be sold bieee by piece to get the money to buy bread for tho children Countess Tol stoi rebelled and threatened to leave liim unless he let her collect the money which was due him. So now all the business ls transacted through her. She has paid off all the debts on the estate, and a few years ago she bought i pretty little house iu Moscow, which ?ives her a chance to see something of life and people and know what ls going jn in tlie world.-St. Louis Globe-Dem Dcrat. The Secret of Good Drenain?r. lu the gospel of sticking to whatever becomes you is contained the secret of being well dressed. Foolish, indeed, Is she who wears brown just because it happens to be stylish when she knows that lt sallows her skin, or waists fitted closely to the figure when she knows they reveal defects, uneven shoulder beights or angularities of form. Hav ing discovered the color and cut which especially suit her, she should adhere to them though the heavens fall. Same ness is not to be feared when it ls also becomlngness. The celebrated beauty, \me. Reo mler, set a notable example in this emitter. At the Abbaye-au-Bois, sumn e. and winter, she received her friends wearing a pale yellow pelisse made of taffeta. In cold weather lt was softly wudded, and In warm weather it was Bimply lined with silk, but It was the same garment. At her throat aud wrist were ruffle's of beautiful creamy lace, concealing traces of attenuation, for) this was in the latter years of her life. She never chunged the style of ber hat either, which was always large and white, brimmed with either drcopiug plumes or marabou tips. How differ ent and how much less admirable our conception of Mme. Recamler's per sonality had she affected a Jaunty turban and decollete! Why Women Do Not Flah. How does it b appen that the fisher man's mantle never falls on the women of the house.

I do not believe they are cut out except by artificial reasons. I be lieve the daughter ls born with the same devotion to the stream, the ?roods, the open air, the blue sky, the tame Intolerance of restraint, the same periodical longifn to be away, with the same skillful hands and uncanny brain that her father had before her and that her brothers are encouraged to indulge. Custom, however, has put a broom In ber hands, a needle in her fingers, long skirts that bind her lib erty and the cry of duty and decorum In her ears.-Outing. Too Much Kitchen. The French, the best cooks in the world, perform their entire task within the area that ls often given in this country In a bouse of moderate size to the china closet alone, for the Ameri can, following his English ancestor, bas fallen into the habit of giving an undue amount of importance to the kitchen or service portion of the house. This tendency reacts upon itself, and lt may be that the exaggerated impor tance given to the servant problem in thU country ls less unavoidable than the ordinary housewife supposes. If she could but once be brought to con sider restricting the area now given to thc kitchen and thc closets connected with lt, might it not be found that the ordinary routine of household life would move along more easily and with less friction?-F. Chouteau Brown in Good Housekeeping. The Boudoir Breakfast. "It is too bad about Clarissa," a sweet old lady observed after a visit to a city relation. "She ls so poorly she has to have ber breakfast in bed every morning." "More likely it's pure laziness," snapped her less charitable sister. It may happen that the city cousin, if she be up to date, is neither the one nor the other.

After using olive oil in place of but ter to saute potatoes, small fish, toma toes, etc., few housekeepers will care to go back to the old fashion. OH, even the best, costs very little more than butter, and less of lt is required in cooking. Oil mixed with flour makes a very smooth foundation for a roux or white sauce. An Athletic Authoress. Miss Florence Finch Kelly, the au thoress, takes great delight in hunt ing and in horseback riding through sparsely settled parts of the country. She has traveled all over the Sierras, with only so much outfit as could be tied on her saddle, and she bandies a revolver and rifle with great skill. Better Than Beauty. The woman who looks amiable and cheerful ls naturally beautiful, far more so than a woman with ' proachable sculptural outline fea tures so regular that sb makes you wish she had some redeeming defect or other. Perfection was attractive in ancient Greece. It ls not now. Bread and Milk Pancake?. Soak a pint of stale bread crumbs in a quart of rich milk, whip in a table spoonful of melted butter, a teaspoon ful of salt, three well beaten eggs and enough flour to make a griddlecake batter. Cook on a soapstone griddle if you have one. Mrs. Russell Sage says: "Cooks are difficult to keep, as they are more in demand in marriage. Men like to mar ly cooks. They feei that the food question ls settled then." The Medical Press and Circular says that so\ long as skirt bands are fas tened round the waist corsets of stiff material should be worn.

A remarkable case of tattooing camp to light In Professor Ilebru's ' lector* room in u hospital in Vienna som? years ago. The man was the subject of a lecture, sud one of the spectators at first mistook bim for u bronze stuiup He was tattooed from head to foot, and not a quarter of a square inch of his entire person was intact. The skin presented an appearance resembling the tracery of an exceedingly rich cash mere shawl. The coloring was done with indigo principally, with enough red Inserted here and there to give it effect. His name was George Con stantine, a Greek by birth, who with a band of robbers entered Chinese Tartary to commit depredations. The gang was captured, and this man, with others, was ordered by the ruler to be branded In this manner. On the palms of his hands letters were tattooed which explained that he was "the. greatest rascal and thief In the world." - It took three months to tattoo him, the indigo being pricked Into the ?kin. The designs represented elephants, lions, ti gers and birds, with letters worked hi between. A couple of dragons orna mented bis forehead.
