Wnr tho Snoak Tlilof In Moxto* Files Ills Trade. In Mexico the sneak thief has his business down to a science. Tho favored manner of stealing la from the houses. Most of the buildings are but one story high, and the doors are kept closed and locked. The windows arc as large as the doors and extend to tho floor. To keep the thievos out of tho house they are protected with heavy I Iron bars, but the Mexican snoak thief has found a way to overcome this difficulty. Because of tho lowness of the window he can look Into the room and "spot" the articles he wishes. Then ho waits until the occupant of the room is In some other part of the house. A hamh(H) pole about as long ns a ttshlng rod Is produced, to which Is attached a piece of string with u llsh hook on tho ond. Tho thief, by practice, can cast tho hook so that it will catch on almost any article In the room, no mutter how far It may bo from the window. Slowly It Is drawn forward and pulled through the bnrs. In this manner articles are taken off tho bureau or tallies, rugs snatched from the floor and bedclothes from the bed. Clothing left on chairs or hanging on tho wall Is easily removed. The thieves do not even wait until the occupants are out of the room In all cases. There have been ensos where men and women who were undressing In their rooms have lost clothing while their backs were turned to the window. InttmntloiiM.

The angry barrister retorted, "You tea drinking skunk!" Eventually both withdrew and apologized. The Aurora no refills. The ancients viewed the aurora borealls with superstitious awe, looking upon It as an omen of direful disaster. It Is not unusual for descriptions of old time battles to mention the fact that the "curious rod 'northern llirhtv gave us warning that something awful was about to happen." In the annals of Clnn-Mac-Nolse Is to be found an account of a purple aurora which lighted up the northern Rkles In the year <>88 A. D. on the night preceding the dreadful battle fought by the Irish tribes of Lelnster and Minister, and It Is not necessary to mention the fact that the people took it as an omen of the great slaughter which soon followed.

If there Ik; one tiling more tlum arvotJier upon which the Chinese pride themselves it is upon their politeness. In spite of the three or four inches which he lacks to make his height equal U> tliat of the average American, a Chinese otlicial in full costume carries liimself with great dignity and self possession and makes an imposing figure. In this respect Ike owes much to his long dress, but more to the patient study of correct carriage. There is not a single awkward movement as the Chinese gentleman bows his visitor into the house or supplies him from his own hand with a cup of tea, which is indispensable to an interview. Not until his guest is seated will the Chinese host venture to tako up his position 011 the right hand of the former, and if in the course of an excited conversation he should raise himself, however slightly, from liii ]x>sitioii it is the duty of the other to do the same. No Chinese gentleman will sit while his equal stands. Occasionally, where it is not intended to l>o over respectful to a visitor, a servant will bring in n cup of tea?a cup in each hand. Then, standing before his master and tho guest, be will cross his arms, serving the guest, who is to the right, with his left hand, his master with Uie right. The object of this is to cxjx>ae the palm?in Chineso the heart?of either hand to each recipient of the ton.. It is a token of fidelity and respect. Tliia tea is not intended for drinking nhd ia called "guest tea." It has a higher mission than to allay thirst. Unfortunate ib tike man who tosses his off beforo ten words have been exchanged. The oriental will stamp him ua a barbarian. The mission of the tea is to be used by 'either party as a signal that tho interview ia at an end.

Strangers meeting in China may freely ask one another their names, provinces and their business prospects. It is always considered a compliment to an old Chinaman to ask him his age, hut the middle aged do not as a rule care for the question, and their answers can rarely be depended upon. It is also good form in China to ask the number and aex of a man's children; also if his father and mother are still alive, llis wife, however, must not he mentioned, even in tho most indirect manner. Friends meeting, eithor or both in sedan chairs, stop their bearers at once and get out with all possible expedition. The same rule applies to acquaintances meeting on horseback.?New York Herald.

"Give your hounds short names," he says, "that it may be easy to call them." Accordingly the names which he leaves to us are without exception dissyllabic, for the Greek ear was not alive to the morns 01 mo dactyl 111 hound nomenclature, and we look in vain for such a name as Aggelos. But wq find, at all events, Hebe in bis list, a name which after 2,000 years still does duty in English kennels, ? Macmillan's Magazine. Willing to Chance It. At Frank's house they had quince jam for supper, but Frankie had been ill, so his mother said to him: "Frank, you cannot have any jam. It will make you sick, and then you might die."

At Constantinople he seems to l*? more brutally treated than elsewhere. There the drivers Beem to try to run him down without warning. But in Cairo they have a series of curious cries with which they warn a footman. They specify the particular part of Ins anatomy which is in danger thus: "Look out lor thy left shin, U uncle!" "Boy, hava a care for the little toe on thy right foot!" "O blind beggar, look out for thy stall!" And the blitul beggar, feeling his way with the start in his right hand, at once obediently turns to the left. "O Frankish woman, look out for thy left foot!" "O burden bearer, thy load is in danger!" "O water carrier, look out for the tail end of Uiy pigskin water bottle!"

"I was in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1895, about the time of the Jameson raid," said a theatrical j man. "Funds I had none, and on j account of the activity of the Boers we concert people saw little oppor-j tunitv to make any. Finally I recruited a small company of those ( in the same predicament as myself, and we went to a town called Middleburg. There was no theater in > the town, but 1 secured a small Bchoolhouse.

But how he could play! Talent we find anywhere, but usually in the unexpected places." ?Kansas City Times. Witty Theodore Hook.

When the imitator failed to accomplish this he apologized for his lack of skill and the many pieces of orange peel he had scattered on the table. Oh, well/'said Hook, "you haven't failed. Instead of a pig you have made a litter." When somebody spoke to him of poverty as a virtue, "That's making a virtue of necessity," lie retorted. The Cat.

CtirlNtluu Character. Christian character Is constituted of more than church membership--the ol> servant*? of certain forms of rltuul and knowledge of the principles and polity of any special Christian church. Nor, Indeed, Is a creed the substance of It. These things being excluded aa essential to it, the crucial question is whnt Is it that makes Christian character? It is simply a faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance is only preparatory to tho exercise of faith In Christ. It is but the breaking up of the soil to receive the seed. It takes life to develop Christian character, and It takes death to crown it. We look beyond the deprivation, sacrifice and suffering of life to the unseen and eternal things Hint are to be known in tho crown that awaits all who are faithful even unto death.? Uev. J. II. Lakes, Methodist. Atlanta. Clinrch lOMentlala. There are some fundamental essen tin Is which every church ought to reveal, ho it country or cosmopolitan, large or small. Tho tlrst, It seems to me, Is that It must be composed not only of regenerated, but of consecrated, men and women. A church succeeds, I no uou considers success, as that ; church surrenders Its will to God, Religion is essential In a man's life. The most powerful agency In the world today la co-operation. Germany, united by Iilsmarck, Is u great power. The United States is what It Is because of that unity. Trusts may be abused, but they have the one cardinal principle of co-operation and consolidation which is so ilne an example of loyalty. Lastly I think that a church should have a loyal nnd aggressive service along with an unfaltering love for the kingdom of God. Into the church must be put some of the enthusiasm?shall we say the vim??which the business man puts Into bis business, the politician into politics and the society woman into so* ciety.?Rer.
