4 'Ob, give it auy cane you like bor
rowicR other people's tdorgiiigs and
failing ever to retrmi tbem, mistaken
identity as to special possessions or Mcp
tomania, but I call it thieving, and
something ought to be dene about it"
This is -what the blond woman in tbe
very smart fccrnet said to her nearest
neighbor in blue, whereupon every other
woman near the tea table cut short her
conversation and held her cup in midair
to hear -what the discussion would bring
forth.
"That I do," -went cn the hlond em
phatically, ' 'and I've been stolen from
repeatedly. No, my dear, I won't take
a word of it back, and I am not speak
ing hastily. In every instance it was a
plain case of theft, and I've not up to
date recovered a single belonging. Wby,
cf course if it had been a grimy fingered
sneak thief, or a tco enterprising house
maid, I mcst naturally would have gone
to the police and detectives for protec
tion and assistance, but it is not quite
eo easy to have an individual who wears
tbe best French gloves, whese bonnets
ccine from an expensive importer and
who sometimes asks yen to share her
opera bos, receive at her teas or take a
lift home in her brougham, arrested and
searched on suspicion."
"Well, I never I" remarked the wom
an in blue.
"Ob, that's just because you are a
dear, unsophisticated little creature,
and out in your western town they don't
do such things. The temptations are not
so great, but I can assure you that here
in our big cities, at regular intervals,
polite kleptcmania is simply rampant,
and hardly a big function breaks up
that half the women don't come away
quite savage over the loss of some pretty
and especially prized belonging." Evi
dently the Liond was right, for all the
other women nodded assent, and the
hostess was apparently breathless to tell
cf some personal grievance on this score,
when The first speaker broke in again:
"You see," she elaborated, "we used
to think itmight have been tbe servants'
fault, or an honest error, when we found
our possessions exchanged fcr others
less valuable or amply disappearing, un
til two or three times thecftenders were
caught right in tbe act, and then came
the awfully dismal consciousness that
really no one could be trusted.
' 'My first experience was with a very
costly lace fan I carried to a dinner. I
held on to it most affectionately through
out the evening, until seme half dozen
of us went up to the hostess' Ledrcom
for our wraps. There I laid it, with my
vinaigrette and fan, cn the dressing ta
ble, and when I turned to get them
again the fan was gone. I protested, the
maid searched, but nothing came cf it,
and broken heartcdly I went down, be
wailing my less to a sympathizing fem
inine ccmpanicn. Y7ewei-t cut to cur
respective carriages togctLtr, but as the
butler opened iLe hail deer r. puff of
wind blew her long clcak aside, and
there I saw, mug in its pecker, my pre
cious fan. Well, tbe next day I wrote
her very frankly, cskirg for its return,
suggesting, cf rcrrse, she had taken it
by mistake, and heme it came. But we
have never spoken since.
"That taught me to look for higher
offenders than maids in dressing rcGins,
who are usually accused cf making way
with all wraps, umbrellas, overshoes
and what not that may be missing."
"Ah, that is not my trouble, " chimed
in a debutant e across the tea table, "The
favorite plan is now to exchange bad
for good things. I am growing almost
philosophical over the deplorable shab
biness of my wardrobe from this con
stant swapping. Last week, 'cn coming
up late to the dressing rccm from a
dance, I found in place cf my brand
new green suede carriage overshoes two
overlarge, badly worn ones of rusty
black velvet and my lace head scarf ex
changed for a frayed one of soiled white
chiffon. Naturally cross and sleepy, I
fell on the tired maid, who wept and
denied, but looked as if she could tell a
tale.
"Only to make a test case of itl rolled
my new French galccbesinmy mackin
tosh, laid my card on top and put them
in a safe corner of the dressing room of
a house where I went to luncheon the
other day. But it was of no avail. The
galcches had been metamorphosed into
a pair of muddy rubbers with holes in
them when I went back, and I didn't
grumble, since my pretty umbrella was
left. The work of the spoiler goes on in
tho cloakrooms when big wedding re
ceptions, teas, musicales and private
balls are in progress.
"At one of the big dances of the sea
son the hostess simply ordered her maid
to issue checks for every woman's wrap,
and, charming to relate, not so much as
a hairpin was lost, for at her daughter's
wedding reception, only a week before,
three muffs Jjot away somehow without
their rightful owners, and the possessor
of a 300 snble hand warmer found a
scrubby old astrakhan one in its place.
""That is where the fashionable klep
tomaniacs salve their consciences by an
exchange, yen see, for rarely is anything
taken that some inferior article is not
put in its place, and very rarely are
they caught with them. Their position
in society is one of protection, and their
victims are too timid or proud to trace
a clew, which tco often leads right to
the door of their best friends or some
woman who is aiding materially in
helping them along in society." Milli-,

LEZE MAJESTY.
Hon- a Subject of tho Kin-, of. Bclcinm
Tlayed It.
It is a curious reflection that men
who will face death with impunity are
yet absolutely aghast with fear when
brought into the presence cf the great
ones cf tbe earth. "Such great divinity
doth hedge a king" thct fewmen would
venture to assert their independence or
the right of their manhood if a sover
eign's view were opposed to theirs.
This is, no doubt, an inheritance
from -tbe days of feudalism, when the
monarch was indeed the lieg? lord of
all the people. Among the few, how
ever, whose names have come down to
an admiring posterity because they had
the stamina to rely on their Gvm rights
and assert their own desires must he
mentionjd tie name of Vanden
driesche, a subject of the king of Bel
gium. Seme time ago he caw apiece of
ground at Ostend the position cf which
pleased him. As luck had it, it chanced
to be directly in front cf the king's vil
la. This fact, we may be sure, did net
make it less desirable in the gentleman's
eyes. He called in the aid of architects
and builders and proceeded to erect a
house on it after his own heart. Unfor
tunately, however, his majesty looked
out of the windows of his villa one day
and found that his subject's heme, if it
had not emulated Aladdin's and sprung
up in a nighr, at all events interfered
with his view, as did that miraculous
structure with the view cf the other
sovereign.
The king naturally remonstrated at
this want cf rousidcraticn in a subject,
and, no doubt, expected that the remon
strance would have geed effect So, in
deed, it seemed, for M. Yandcndriesche
engaged a number cf workmen, who
proceeded to pull down the edifice, which
had only recently been finished.
Alas for the credulity of the human
mind, even when that mind belongs io
a potentate cf the earth ! As scon as the
foundations of the building had been
razed to the ground, and the king, no
doubt, congratulated himself on that
uninterrupted view of the country which
he had had before, he was staitkd to
find that :ui increased army cf builders
arrived to augment the number of those
who had been employed.
Oddly enough also, a huge quantity
cf bricks :ud mortar appeared cn the
scene. These bricks the masons began
to nse in the most unaccountable man
ner possible, piling them one on top cf
the other with mortar between. It look
ed as if they were building a wall.
They were. Slowly, as is the manner cf
masons in every country of the world,
the wall grew by inches. Instead of a
villa a 12 sicry fireproof building was
erected, which effectually prevented his
majesty from seeing the country which
lies on the ether side of the property of
his recalcitrant subject. San Francisco
Chronicle.
Old CnTTTica.
If the various Grand Army posts of
the country were disposed to take ad
vantage of an c5cr made at the last ses
sion cf congress, tbey might materially
increase the warlike spirit supposed to
pervade every patriotic frjnily, rays tho
Washington Pest. The ofTcr was to sup
ply warlike implements, w hith, if they
have cntlived their usefulness, will
serve as ornaments for pest headquar
ters and might inspire the rising gener
ation with much patriotic fervor. This
could be accomplished Ly accepting the
tender of several hundred abandoned
cannon and shot and shell which con
gress has decided to give to any Grand
Army ost that may apply fcr them
and which are now lying useless and
neglected at tbe navy yards.
These cannon are mostly old style
models cf engines of war, which might
have Leen considered just the proper
thing 30 years or more ago, but which,
with the march of progress and the ad
vance of invention, have been placed
upon the retired list. Their places have
been filled by guns and munitions of
war of a more improved type, and as the
abandoned articles are valuable only as
old metal tbe government decided that
it could put them to no better purpose
than to give them to the veterans cf the
late war, who fonght on the Union side
with tLese same guns.
But it is surprising to count up just
how few posts of tbe immense Grand
Army have taken advantage of -this of
fer. Since the passage of the joint reso
lution last v inter the records in the of
fice of the secretary of the navy, where
such applications have to be filed, show
less than 1C0 from the entire country.
There are still guns on hand for about
700 more pests, yet, strangely enough,
the Grand Aimy has made no effort to
provide itseif with an armament
which, although it would be of little
service in time cf war, is valuable from
an artistic standpoint in time of peace.
Two lriiec Ministers.
One day Sir Henry Parkes, the late
prime minister for New South Wales,
was reading a recently published life
of M.T. Gladstone, and laying down tho
volume for a moment he said: "I was
thinking when reading it of a compari
son between JMr. Gladstone's life and
my own. When he was at Eton prepar
ing himself for Oxford,enjoying all the
advantages of a good education, with
plenty of money, and being trained in
every way for his future position as a
statesman, I was working on a rope
walk at 4 pence a day and Buffered such
cruel treatment that I was knocked
down with a crowbar and did not re
cover my senses for half an hour. From
the rope walk I went to labor in a brick
yard, where I was again brutally used,
and when 3Ir. Gladstone was at Oxford
I was breaking stones on the queen's
highway, with hardly enough clothing
to protect me from the cold. " Truly a
striking and dramatic contrast between
the early years of two prime ministers.
Paarson's Weekly.
Sewards That Arc Sore, bat Slow.
''The rewards of honesty and un
swerving principle are sometimes slow,
but that in the end they are sure and
greater for their slow coming admits of
no question," writes Edward W. Bok
in "Problems of Young Men" in The
Ladies' Home Journal. "Our princi
ples are sometimes severely tested, but
this testing is given us with a purpose.
Holding fast to honorable principles is
the basis upon which all sure successes
are built Some have to pass through
more fire than others, but I firmly be
lieve that tbe reward in the end is
greater to these. What the world says
of a man matters little in such a strag
gle. It is tbe great inner satis:
which ccmcs to a man that ccunts."
FRENCH JOURNALS.
Shares of Several Bought and Sold Daily
on tho Stock Exchange.
Most of the French journals 'have a
: salle de depeches, where bulletins are
: displayed and a museum of relics of tho
1 paper is kept French journalism is
much more personal in regard to its lit
i erary composition than that of England
' or America. A large proportion of the
articles are dgned with the names of
the writers, even when the work is
more or less of a routine nature, such
as the sporting or law departments of
the paper. On the other hand, the own
ership of newspapers is less frequently
lodged in single hands than is the case
in America. Very many of the French
papers are owned by companies or asso
ciations, while the stock of several of
the best known, such as The Figaro and
Petit Journal, is bought and sold daily
cm the Stock Exchange, the quotations
appearing as regularly as those of rail
way shares or Government bonds.
The circulation cf all but a very few
of the Paris papers varies enormously,
according to the contents. If a paper
contains a striking article, well adver
tised previously, or if itsfeuilleton, con
tinued story cr memoirs, which most of
the French journals consider an essen
tial part of their daily issue, is by Eome
well known author, the circulation will
runup 00,000 or 100,000 in a week
and drop again as seen as the special
feature is aiscontinued. When Lo Jour
began publishing M. Henri Bochefort's
memoirs, its circulation went up five
fold, although the price of the paper
had been doubled in order to make hay
while the sun shone.
The French press is much more con
centrated in the capital than that of
other European countries. In Germany,
for instance, it is not the press of Berlin
that has the largest circulation or the
greatest influence. In this, as in many
other matters, however, the French
press cnJy bears cut the saying that
"Paris is France. " Chautauquan.
NEW PUNCTUATION MARK.
A Sadly Needed Invention Scsestcd by
tho Caustic Copy Header.
"I shall be famous. I have an idea
that will Eend my name thundering
down through the ages," remarked the
copy reader.
"Humph I" replied the humorist. "It
will be the first idea yon have ever had.
You spend mcst of your time destroying
the good ideas of others. "
"Well, that may be, although you
never have any idea to destroy, seeing
that you get these which you have from
Joe Miller's jokebook and the old al
manacs." "Oh, well, let's have ycur idea!"
"To tell the truth, it was suggested
to me by you."
"Ahl I thought as much, and yot you
Eay"
"Don't be in too big a hurry. You
haven't heard my idea. "
"What is it?"
"I have invented a punctuation
mark for humor. It is intended to shew
the reader whero to laugh. In olden
times, you know, the point of the joke
used to be printed in italics. Nowadays
there is no way to show the point, and,
as many of the jokes, such as yours,
have no point, it is impossible to print
the point in italics. Now, I suggest that
a punctuation mark be placed at the be
ginning and at the end cf everything
supposed to be funny, so that the reader
may be prepared to laugh when he be
gins to read and know when he has
reached the point and it is time to
laugh. I would suggest that the mark
be two little squares placed above tho
line, and I shall call it by my name
What do you think cf that for an idea?
It was suggested by your stuff, as I told
you."
But the humorist had given the copy
reader a leck cf ecorn and had vanished.

Rabbits That Climb.
A ccrrespoadent writes to the London
Field that while he was hunting rabbits
with ferrets in January he found rabbits
on three occasions in willow trees which
overhung the water of a mill stream.
The miller said that it was not an un
usual circumstance. Seme months ago
The Field told of other rabbits which
had been shot, like raccoons cr opos
sums, out of trees in England. In re
cent years eases of rabbits in trees have
been reported with increasing frequency.
From Australia has ccme the most re
markable story cf rabbits as climbers.
The only way in which rahbits could be
kept cut of certain tracts cf land in
Australia was by the building cf wire
fences about them, the- fences having
meshes so small that the beasts could
not crawl through and being so high
that they could not jump over. The rab
bits have clawed at the wires until their
nails gradually havo become hooked.
Some of tbe rabbits learned to scale the
fences, and then great additional ex
pense was necessary, for the top of the
fence had to be bent over like a J up
side down, with the hcok out, so that
the rodents could not get over the top.
Australian rabbits are said to be learn
ing to climb trees for theleaves.

1he Only Cure.
"It makes me boil with indignation,"
exclaimed Mr. Meekton's wife as she
laid down the paper.
He waited in silence'for her to con
tinue and then responded in a tone of
cautious inquiry:
"Does it dear?"
-are you attempting to carry on a
conversation with me?"
"Yes, dear."
"Then, perhaps, it would be a good
idea to find cut what we are talking
about before you venture any remarks."
"That's what I was trying to' do,
Henrietta. You wouldn't mind telling
me, would you?"
"It's about burglars."
"Those you insisted were trying to
get into the house last night, till we
discovered there weren't any?"
"I suppose you want to be congratu
lated for bravery because you tcok tho
poker and went down cellar, while I
stood on the top step and held the light?"
"jno, Henrietta, xnat was a privi
lege. I appreciated the manner in which
you took my gallantry for granted and
stood aside and yielded me the right of
way. It was cne of the proudest mo
ments of my life. "
"Well, that has nothing to do with
the case. I was reading of how a wom
an, with all the weakness of so many
of her sex, clung to a housebreaker
even after he was sent to the peniten
tiary. It happens every day. "
' 'I have noticed ever so many cases
of that kind," was the reply, "and the
more I think about them tbe more mys
terious they become. The remedy is a
heroic one, but the cure seems to be
complete in every case."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't mistake me, Henrietta. I
don't advise it at alL But it does seem
that tho enly way a woman can get

Bryant's Translations.
After MrE. Bryant died, in 18GG, says
Henry D. Sedgwick, Jr. , in The Atlan
tic, Bryant betook himself for consola
tion to the "Iliad" and the "OdyEMjy,"
which he completely translated before
December, 1871, at the age of 77. There
are few things mere touching than this
comfort tenderly given by man to man
across the gap of 2,500 years. Nothing
furnishes a more eloquent argument of
the worth of poetry and of its profound
humanity than this. The translation of
Homer is a very personal matter and
Eeems to stir some of those fires in the
human breast that burn only in front of
its owupenatcs. Pope's translation was
a Encccss, Ccwper's was a success, so
were Lord Derby's and Mr. Bryant's.
Mr. Lang and bis associates, also Pro
fessor Palmer, have made excellent
translations.
AH these renderings are very differ
ent, one from another, and doubtless owe
their respective successes to the variety
among readers. There is one class of
people which has never read the Greek,
another that has read and forgotten, a
third and small class which compares
the translation and the original, and
there are other persons Etill who con
demn all translations of Homer without
reading them. Bryant's work is said to
be faithful io the original, but the sto
ries of Hinm and of Odysseus feel some
what ill at case in English blank verse.
The Greek spirit is so different from
our spirit, the Greek language is so un
like our language, that almost all trans
lators, and Bryant among them, must
rest content with moderate praise.
