.D : FLjtnSMOUTci. nuKKASKA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7. 1RR8. V A WOMAN'S LIFE OF CRIME. A rrcrUst J at fli Aff of II Vr At SO Stia Coa to I'rioon l Ilio. Tho oltlcst professional sucak thief in the country h:iuguin been unrested. And slio is a woman. Bixty-nino years nm sho hep-an tlio criminal career which shofctill pursues, utul yet, ftrano to say, sho bears upon Tier features but litllo traces of tlio lifo fcho Jed. Of tho four score years that have ftnsscd over lier head more than forty lavo Ijccii passed in prison. During that time nil tho sunshine that camo to her wan what struggled through tho irison burs. Her friends were tho companions with whom crimo had brought her in contact. Honest jicoplo ho had scarcely ever known. in deed, it almost must havo see mod to her that she had no place whatever in tho irroal free world outside. A curi ous and a sad sight she presented as fiho sat huddled ui in a corner of tho pen in tho Tombs tolice court. Her clothes wero comparatively neat, n IkxmI was on her head, from beneath which the purest of locks of silver gray showed out. Her face was 1 I A I ,1 pan hi. ana. uresseu uiiierenuy aim Seurrounded by brighter circumstances. "sho might havo passed as an old lady of most respectable ancestry. Khohau no flaunting airs, exhibited no out ward semblance of cowering, gave no furtive glances that indicated the soul of tho criminal looking out through tho eves. Tho place seemed natural for her. Well, iierliaps it might, for many and many a time she liau been there before. Others who looked upon her mis-lit pitv her. She did not seem to realize why they should do so. She was merely going back again to the onlvliomosho liau ever rememoerea. Marv Fitzsrerald is her name. The war of 1812 took from her her father, and when sho was 10 her mother died. She became a waif on the world, drift- in"' hither and thither in search of her food aud of a roof to shelter her. Many a time she could find neither, and want, possibly more than any evil inclination, made her a thief. Sho joined one of those gangs of little criminals who at the time made the wharves and tho river fronts their homes as well as their headquarters. Tho lields and woods that then stood where fashionable up town now ex ists would have alTorded those urchins better quarters, though ones not so Knf Vnrv was onlv 11 vcars of aire when sho lirst was brought before the courts, and had to bo held up in tho arms of tho sergeant so that tho judge could seo her and hear the little story she had to tell. Sho had no excuse to olfer then. Indeed through her whole career sho has never had. Stealing has seemed to be as natural to her as living tho only variation in her con duct" l)cfore tho authorities being that sho would occasionally claim identity with some other well known criminal. On one occasion some- fif teen or sixteen years ago she insisted with tho utmost gravity that sho was Sarah Alexander, the notorious "French Sally," who had made so many littlo storekeepers mourn her visits to their establishments. One of tho peculiarities of this trial was that tho judge who presided had only a short time before sentenced the origi nal Sarah Alexander and informed Mary of tho fact Her persistence in this matter was tho only bit of char acter she had ever exhibited, and she was then deemed worthy of a place in the famous rogues' gallery at police headquarters. Sho prepared for the event as well as she could, and to this day the picture bears evidence of her anxiety to look as well ns possible. A broad smile suffuses her face, and it had not the slightest trace of that al most involuntary if not willful un willingness to bo photographed, that marks tho pictures of nearly all the other criminals. .Mary's last stay out of prison was one of tho longest she liad ever made five months and the police were beginning to hope that at least the f unset of her life might be in the honest nir of the open world, but they were doomed to disappointment. She wa3 arrested by Detective Sergeant Wool bridge for picking the pockets of Uc;;trice Mczzano in an auction room on Catharine street. Tlio detective wa3 present find saw the interesting jwrfoiv.iniice. He arrested Mary, and was lamvhin.T- tlong with Ikf, when Thomas Whalon. a resident of Cherry street, who is alleged to be tho wo man's accomplice, assaulted the detec tive. In thenieleo Mary escaped, buf only to fall into tho hands of an of ficer of the Fourth precinct. Botl were eventually arrested, and Mary will, in nil probability, end her lif within prison walls, Jew YorkPrest rcrnrlan TVUistllns Jag, The silvadors or musical jugs found amonr t-i burial places of Peru are most 'inenious specimens of handi work. A silvio in the William S. Vaux collection at Philadelphia con sists of two vases,.whose bodies are joined cn? to tl5 other, with a bole or opening bc-twca.j them. The peck of one of t!ie?3 vases is closed, with the exception of a small opening in which a clay yZ:3 i inserted leading to tho bodycJ tho vhtotle. When a liquid is poured into the open necked vase, the air is compressed into the other, nd in escaping through the narrow pening is forced into the whistle, tho Vibrations producing sounds. Many of these sounds represent the notes of birds ; one in the Clay collection of Phil adelphia, Pa., imitates the robin o some other member of the thrush tribe peculiar to Peru. The closed neck of this double vaO is modeled into a rep resentation of a bird's head, which is thrush like in character. Another water vaso in the same collection, rep resenting a llama,, imitates the dis gusting habit which this animal pos sesses of ejecting its salivfr when en raged. The hissing sound whib accompanies this action is admirably imitated. A black tube of earthen ware ornamented with a grotesque head in low relief, to which ehort arms are attached pressing a three tubed syrinx to its lips, deserves special mention, as it suggests the evolution of thi3 instrument from a fcingla tube to more complicated forms. The day Worker. . -vr Crortl la MachlMfy. There is arising here and there a note of protest against tho growing subservience of society to machinery. Mr. William Morris, in Tlio Novum lor Fortnightly, bewails its deteriorat ing effect, but is not without hope that there will be in some sort a sav ing revival of handicraft. The pleas ure which the craftsman once took in his work, tho individuality ho put in it. is gone. A great element of happi ness has disappeared from his Maily life, and occupation once interesting is dull and cheerless. Tho machine feeder has not the chance to grow to the status of the skilled artisan. He is not lifted by his work, but depressed oy iu Individuality and tho exercise of taste are denied to the purchaser of goods. "You want a hat. say, lii 3ou wore last year,' but you must tako the one that fashion and the ma chine turned out this year. You want a piece of furniture not "blotched over with idiotic sham ornament," but you cannot get it without paying a prohibitive price for it. "A serious evil and degradation of human life" result from tbo utilitarian ugliness produced by machinery in every thing which the labor of man deal: witli. Under the influence of machine pro duction the line between employers and employes is accentuated. The employing class is one "of slave holders," with its choice as to mode of life "limited bv the ncccssitv of find ing constant livelihood and employ ment for the slaves who keen it alive." There is a tyrannous condition here which breeds discontent Just how emancipation is to be brought about is not clear. Tho effectiveness of ma chinery cannot bo spared. But the fact that tho grumbling about its evils has set in portends a desirable reac tion. New York World. -Everything; Dona by Hand. It is human muscle that cultivates Japan. Cattlo and horses are no part or Japanese country scenes, and an American plow, wuicn l saw in a Tokio store, was pointed out as a curi osity. If it is used at all, it will proba bly 'be pulled by men. As it is, the land is made fallow with a sort of mat tock, which is heavy, and which has a blado about six incnes wide and two feet long. The rice fields of Japan are living monuments of human labor, and every grain of rice you eat repre sents a certain amount of human mus cle. The fields must be flooded again and again with water, and the plants are transplanted from their first growth into rows. I have seen men and women by scores bending their backs and hoeing this rice, and I am told that their wages run from 10 to 20 cents a day. Human musclo carries nearly all the burdens of Japan. Brown skin ned, slant eyed men and women, with baskets containing several bushels each upon their backs, pass by my window as I write, and others follow with great loads balanced ncross tlieir shoulders on long poles. Six-ycar-oJd boys carry two four gallon buckets of water in this way, and loads of heavy merchandise are pushed along the road in carts. Two or three men ire har nessed up in front. Several push bo hind with both head and hands. Their muscles stand out like whipcords as they work. The sweat rolls down their brown skin in streams, and their faces look out from straw hats as big around as a woman's parasol. Their j feet are soled with straw sandals. The few horse carts one sees upon the streets are always led rather than driven by the men, and Japan seenv to do everything in the hardest way . Frank O. Carpenter's Letter. Coffee and It Effects. Coffee owes its stimulating and re freshing qualities to caffeine. It also contains gum and sugar, fat, acids, casein ana wool fiber. Like tea, it powerfully increases the respiration; out, unlike it, does not effect its depth. By its use the rate of the pulse is in creased and the action of the skin di minished It lessens the amount of blood sent to the organs of the body. distends the veins and contracts the capillaries, thus preventing waste of iisr.uc. it 13 a menial stimulus oi a hi'-h order, and one that is liable to great abuse. Carried to excess, it produces abnormal wakefulness, indi gent ion, acidity, heartburn, tremors, debility, irritability of temper, trembling, irregular pulset a kind of intoxication ending in deli rium and great injury to the spinal functions. Unfortunately, there are many coffee tipplers who depend upon it as a drunkard upon his dram. On the other hand, coffee is of sover eign efficacy in tiding over the nervous system in emergenciGi Coffee is also, in i Is place, an excellent medicine. In typhoid fever its action is frequently pivuipt and decisive. It is indicated in ihe parly tages before local compli cations arise. 'Coffee dispels 6tupor and lethargy, is an antidote for many kinds of poison, and is valuable in Eir.ismodic asthma, whooping cough, cW-lcra infantum an Asiatic cholera. It is also excellent as a preventive pr-uiast infectious and epidemic dis casc.T. districts rife with malaria and feyer, the clrjnkhjg of hp coffee before passing into the open air has j enabled persons living in such places to escape contagion.

In the bazaar, Teheran, there ore tlw fiUvcnsinilhn fusing tho metal into ingota and barn, hammering nt the plates, lo Kigiting. engraving, chasing and solder ing: the work It wen in pi-ogres from tlii? very beginning, and woe I to the unfortunate wretch who shall le do tc led in using alloy or an unnecessary quantity of holder. The workera in leallier, in copM-r, in iron, the manu facturers of textile fabrics, all give a coniiiiuoiiK industrial exhibition of their own. which is H'ii to ull tin world, "free gnili.H. for nothing." The confec tioner produce his sweet stock in tradt under the eye of the purchaser. Tli Persian likes to have everything made specially, and bits by to bcj it done, tc make sure that what he huys u fresh, and that he isn't cheated. It is not to Im wondered at that the bazaars are the favorite lounge of the middle and lower classes. All day long the great arches of the bazaar are thronged by a noisy, pushing crowd. hurryinz and cesticulnting. but all in high good humor. Hero come tho moun tebank, the buffoons, the proprietors of dancing bears and monkeys, the street conjurors, and tho man with the tame lion; the itinerant venders of flowers. lettuce, pipes and hot tea; the sellers of eggs and oultry; the dealers in weaoii9 and second hand clothing, and innu merable hawkers. It is not to be wondered at that the European traveler finds it very difficult indeed to tear himself away from the in numerable attractions of the Persian ba zaar. The bric-a-brac hunter may come upon a priceless piece or faience, which he may possibly secure for a few pence. Here one may occasionally pick up a numismatic treasure, which the owner is glad to part with for a littlo more than the price of the metal; but here the stranger must beware, for skillful for geries of old coin are not unknown, even in Persia. But there is one honest cus tom invariable in the Persian bazaar: if a purchaser is dissatisfied with his bar- f-ain the seller is always ready to return im his money if he brings back what he has bought within twenty-four hours. This is a custom never departed from. Uood Words.

BRQWIE, P -rsonal attention to my care. to all Cusine-e Entrust- Sfexlcan and Spaniard. The average Mexican, like the average American, is free with his money-r-neg- lectfui to tnose little economies wnicn Europeans understand so well, and. therefore, when a rich Mexican land owner is in need of a manager for an es tate he looks about for a frugal, thrifty Spaniard, who, if he does make money for himself, does not neglect his employ er's interest. It is a common error among Americans to fancy the Spaniard as a boastinir, proud fellow, averse to toil and preferring gentility in a faded velvet coat to hard work and comfort. A witty Spaniard has said somewhere that all Spaniards are either Don Quix otes or Sancho Panzas, and there is some measure of truth in this saying. The Sancho Panza class of Spaniard has the liard, homely sense or the JNew tjigland farmer, and not a little of the dry humor which the Yankee possesses as by birth right. The Spanish language has thou sands of sharp and racy proverbs availa ble for every day use, and the hard working Spaniard makes free use of tnem. Another Anglo-Saxon misconception is . m . . . -V- " that the Spaniard is a man who. is ever seeking a quarrel and whose temper Lt hery and uncertain, there are streaks of romanticism in the Spaniard, and any amount of good qualities that wear wrll in every day life. He is patient. good humored, and will share his meal with an unfortunate countryman. There is much sturdy fiber left-in the Spanish nation, which, we must not forget, dis puted the control at this hemisphere with ourselves for centuries, and left never to be erased marks of Spanish domination. The Spaniard resembles tho Anglo?Saxon in his propensities for colonization, his willingness to emigrate, his capacity for hard work and a certain arrogance the Anglo-baxon or Spaniard never loses.

The ghost picture, for in stance, in which a shadowy ghostr through which material objects are visi ble is seen between natural attitudes and occupations. This is produced by an almost instantaneous exposure of the figure that is to do duty as the ghost, followed by a full exposure of the figures and properties that are to appear nat ural. Another novel trick was shown recently in a photograph reproduced by a prominent trade journal, which pre sented the photographer, 6eated at a table, playing chess with himself sitting on the opposite Bjde of the taltlo, while ho himself stood up in the background looking at Ids two selves playing. The figures were all on the negative, which was produced by three successive exposures of the plate, parts thereof being masked each time by a black vel vet shutter. Still another trick is that by which a person, wq lkes thai sort or thing may appear to be photographed riding upon a flying goose, or a fisn, or any other desired style of ridiculous lo comotion. This is done by the subject holding upon his lap a huge piece of white or sky tinted card with the fanci ful figure drawn upon' it. His face ap pears aboye the upper edge of the card and seems, in the picture, joined to the funny little body mounted on he goose or fish. The statue picture s made by about the same ' device.

"The very largest money ever obtained was when two tugs picked up a derelict of! Sandy Ilpok. She was in good -coiv dition, but had been, abandoned by hei crew, who were panic' stricken. She was drifting ashore, and the courts al lowed a salvage of $28,00Q'for the fFft or (14,000 for a day's work each. But that wasn't a towing job. The biggest price ever paid by a ship for towing at mis pore, so lar as i Enow, was when a ship captain had beat his way up to the lightship after a long winter voyage from Manila.
