'here were my tall bicycle boots, in ie first place, two pairs of them; then golf boots, only a little shorter and pith straps at the top, like the bicycle ots; then a pair of rainy-day boots, xtra high, but a little shorter than ie soft boots; then ordinary walking boots and low shoes of different kinds, ad two or three p.irs with big brass eyelets, "I presume grandmaauu, own loset does not look so very difereut, or she plays golf, wheels and trarps ,u rainy days, bat I suppose She justi happened to think of the difference' there was between the shoe;; -'he wore: she was a girl and mine.

A Chicago womau, who has the bump of observation largely developed, found it of matchless value in eaptar ing a burglar last Monday.

PerhaP the barglar cyclist knew their haunts and avoided them. At any rate the ease had lasted for a mile before a ian w i Iue and brass hove in sight. Then the hackman slowed up the cab a little. while the lady be.:oued to the minion of the law, hastily explaiaing hr sas Dicions to him while he rode alon, on the carriage step. The cy,list was pursuing a leisurely way aud was soon overtaken and collared. In addition to Mr. Nordastrum's bicycle. .2330 worth of jewelry was found concealed about him, all of which Mrs. Nor d strum identified as hers. Of course, the prisoner protested it was a mis take, and the police were almost in clined to believe him until they accompanied Mrs. Nordstrum home and found the back door of her resi dence broken open and every bed room in confusion. The thief finally confessed.--New York Mail and Ex press. An Oddity in Sleeve Decoratihn. The latest prank in sleeve. decora tion-and this is a regaular find for the woman whose best frock sleeve is giv ing away at the elbow-is to make the arm bag in two pieces of diametric ally different goods and colors. To be more explicit-if the inside of the' arm is covered, we will s.y with black silk, the outside half is clothed in gray renaissance lace, or tucked moss green velours antique, or very fil! gathered geraninm red chiffon. The edges of the outside half always over lap the inner portion, which is usually kept quite smooth, and in a plain dark color. Frequently a silk or velvet sleeve in any solid tint will be thickly sewed with jets or sequins over its outer half or striped with narrow, eendicular bands of steel beads or . or ribbon, if the sleeve is a light g oods.

IL o(cow-death) and "opachivani l g roundabout). If pestilence or 'I revails in a village, an old woman of Ute as a seeress or fortune teller en b confines of the village at midnight and beats a pan; Thereupon all the wom en of the place assemble in haste, armed with divers domestic utensils - frying-pans, pokers, tongs, shovels, scythes and cudgels. After shutting the cattle in their stalls, and warning the men not to leave their houses. a procession is formed. The seeress takes off her dress and pronounces a curse upon Death. She is then hitched to a plow, together with a bevy of virgins and a misshapen wou_ an, if such a one can be found, and a continuous and closed farrow is drawn round the village three times. When the procession starts, the image of some saint suitable to the occasion, that of St. Blasius, for examf e, in the case of murrain, is borne in front of it; this is followed by the. seeress. clad only in a shift, with disheveled hair and riding on a broomstick; after her come women and riaidens draw ing the plow, and behind them the rest of the crowd, shrieking and mak ing a fearful din. They kill every ani mal they meet, and if a man is so un fortunato as to fall in with them he is mercilessly beaten, and u3ually put to death. In the eyes of these raging women he is not a humau being, but Death himself in the form of a were wolf, who seeks to cross their path and thus break the charm and destroy the healing virtue of the furrow. The ceremony varies in different places, and generally ends by burying alive a cat, cock or dog.-From "Supersti tion and Crime," by Professor E. P. Evans, in Appletons' Popular Science Monthly. WORDS OF WISDOM. Our souls crave a perfect good; we feel the pull thitherward, we own the law that points in that direction. William M. Salter. If any one speak ill of thee, consid er whether he hath truth on his side; and if so, reform thyself, that his cen sures may not affect thee.-Epictetus. In every loving woman there is a priestess of the past-a pious guard ian of some affection, of which the object has disappeared. -Henri Fred eric Amiel. Suspicions among thoughts are like bats among birds-they ever fly to twilight; they are to be repressed, or, at least, well guarded, for they cloud the mind. Many brave young minds have oftentimes, through hearing the praises and famous eulogies of worthy men, been stirred up to effect the like commendations. -Spenser. Look in all things for the beauty which is their soul, and shall fill your soul. Seek it and dwell in it, for, rightly understood, it is a part of your deepest life.-Henry W. Foote. Self conceit is a weighty quality, and will sometimes bring down .thie scale when there is nothing else in it. It magnifies a fault beyond proportion, and swells every omission into an outrage. -Jeremy Collier. Books well chosen neither dull the appetite nor strain the memory, but refresh the inclinations, strengthen en the.powers and improve under ex periments. By reading a man does, as it were, antedate his life, and makes himself contemporary with past ages.-Jeremy Collier.
