il JAPANESE WOMAN THIEF. Captain of a Band of Female RobI bers That Had Stolen From 100 I Houses. i A Japanese woman named Tora (df tiger), who had come to be known I in the robber class that she had joinI ed as 44Tora, the Serpent," has just [ been arrested by the Ko.jimaebi police in the of llachiinan Temple, Fukagawa. In her early years?she is now 43? i she was very beautiful, ami held many jk situations as a nurse, always with a jfe good name for industry and faithfulI'. ness. It was her good looks and an admirer that brought her dismissal by B'fr her master, and from that time she Kuj turned l<> make her living by prey. L/$ At the age of ilO she was captain oi liS a gang of female thly\*-s. At Kamakurn she saw an old gentleman and pretended to be in a fit. He tended [| her kindly, but while he was bus\ ['^ she abstracted 10 lbs. from lits bag With lliis money she traveled to tin. capital, where she continued her depredations. She called at the house , of Count Matsiulaira and, represent i ing herself as a poor woman deserte< I by her husband, worked upon tin I sympathy of the countess, who en I gaged her as handmaid. She sooi I gained the esteem of the family, win treated her almost as a relative. E After a few months the whole I household went on a flower viewinj I excursion, leaving Tora alone a I home. She proceeded to collect al I the valuables she c.out.t fay hands on I) loaded them on three large wagons I and made off. [ A sentence of imprisonment did no alter her, and before her last arres she had "ebbed nearly a hundrei k houses and stolen money and good k amounting to thousands of pound? * She now expresses a desire to marr, K n certain humble, honest citizen.?<f:i n pun Times. M WHEN IT HURT. Tp, A Patient Under the Knife Controller by Imagination. Ill German surgeon in the France &.( Prussian war had occasion to lane yA an absess for a poor fellow, and. a 1M ' 110 was obstinate, it beeam ^%,ecessary to use the knife twice, say P. Writ-Bits. The operation \v:is not Utf very painful one, but the patient d< | clared that il had nearly killed bin ;j and when a third resort to the lane ;j was proposed he protested that li j could never go through the operatio j Tip surgeon promised to make i j easy for him. and, called up\a few e |j Hie loungers, ordered one of them t ; bold his hands close over the patient eyes and two others to grasp hi hands firmly. "This arrangement, ** explained tli doctor. 44is said to prevent pain i isnch an operation. Now, lie perfect 1 quiet and when T say vNTow!' prepai yourself.'' j The surgeon a I once began quiet 1 with his work, and in a short tin had completed the operation withoi the least trouble, the patient lying i quiet as though in sleep. When all was done the surgeon lni aside the knife and saw "Now! Hue a roar came from Ilm lips of the sie man ms seldom is heard from any hi man being. Tie struggled lo free bin self, yelling, 4'Oh. doctor, you're kil ing me!" Shouts of laughter soon drownc his cries and he was told that hu( ration had been all over before tl signal was given. Tl was a good jok but il is doubtful if the poor fello could ever be made to believe that 1 did not feel actual pain immediate! a f I "r thai fatal "Now!" Jumping at a Conclusion. Tn I lie amiable way of villager tbev were discussing the matrimonii affairs of a couple, who though r I centlv wed, bad begun to find tl [ yoke of Hymen a burden.

"Well, thai seems long enough, said an interested lady listener. "Long cue'! Hah, ye're wroiif 1 When a body's coortin' be canna 1 k too careful.
