True Tale of tho Peasant Martyr of Soma, Japao. In the first half of the ae rent nth. century KoUuke-no-Suke was the lord of Soma, rich, agricultural district con taining one) hundred and thirty-six Til lages. Kotaulte-no-Suke was a hard, grasping landlord, who oppressed his peasants by heavy taxes until they were reduced to the last extremity of poverty. Year after year the wretched farmers petitioned their lord, through the village mayors, to have their burden lightened, but without avail. Iteing a member of the Shogun'a Cabinet Kot-suke-no-Suke spent the greater part of the year in Yeddo, where he maintained a private palace and a host of retainers. Iiis extravagance gave riae to much comment In the capital, but few of the haughty noblea who frequented hU entertainments knew by what means the Lord of Soma procured the vat suius of money necessary to support auch lav ish magniticf nee. In the fill of the year 1643 the farm en dwelling on the estate of Kotsuke-no-Nuke assembled together tt devise measures for tL-ir relief. That year the taxes had been heavier than ever before, and scores of families were threatened with starvation during the coming winter. The stoutest beartd among them were filled with despair at the apparent hopelessness of their situ ation. Sogoro, the mayor of one of the villages, and hima-lf a farmer, had Wn, throughout all their vici.teitudes, the stanch friend of the down-trodden peas ant. He now ad vised them to draw up a petition to the Shoeun'aCabinet.and then to select a committee to go up to Yeddo and present it to that body. When th . evil doings of thir Lord was known to but reiiow-councuors their upbraiding and his own wounded pride might shame him into mercy. Sogoro" plan wan adopted, and he was one of the number chosen to go to Yeddo to present the memorial to the Cabinet. Knowing the dangers that attended his mission, tsogoro, on the eve of his departure, called his family together and said: "I am going to Yeddo. and it may be that I shall never return, for it is hard to say how I shall be treated by those in power. I am. willing, hoVever. to give my life for tha good of our suffer ing fellow-tenants. Let ti, therefore, drink a cup of wine together, for it may be that you shall see my face no more. If I die, mourn not over my fate; weep not for me." Sogoro and his companions went to Yeddo and there they soon learned of the riotous living of their spendthrift Lord, and they wept when they reflected that all his wanton luxury wan bought with th life-blood of their famiahing friends at Soma. In a few days they had an opportunity of presenting their petition to Lord Kuze, a member of the Cabinet, and they all felt elated that the; great nobleman had oondecend'd to listen to their grievancea and to accept their memorial. The action of Kotnuke-no-Suke's ten ants created no little stir in Yeddo, and many observations upon that nobleman and his style of living were made that could scarcely be called complimentary. But It does not do for people living in glaoa houses to throw btvnes. All the members of the Shogun'a Cabinet had at one time or another been guilty of oppressing their own peasant, and It would be extremely awkward for them now to sit in judgment upon Kotsuke-no-Suke. So it was decided to return, th petition to the complainants. Ac cordingly Sogoro received a summons to appear at the residence of Lord Kuze. There he was met by two councilors, who handed him the ill-starred memo rial, saying: "A short time ago you had the audaci ty to thrust this petition Into the bands of Lord Kuze. Hy his extraordinary clemency he forgives your offense, but beware that you do not again presume upon hi Lordship's forbearance, or ill will it fare with you. "His Lordship's censure is just, humbly responded Sogoro. "But oh! my U.rds. this action of ours is not hasty or ill-considered. Year after year have we suffered untold hardships, until now wo and our friends are without even the necessaries of life. Therefore have-wa presented this petition. I pray you. Lords, consider our case, vouchsafe to help us that we may live. Our grati tude to you shall know no bounds." "Your request U a ju.t one," replied the councilors, when they had heard the words of Sogoro, "but your memorial can not be received. disheartened beyond meaaik-e, Sogoro sought out hia companions and ac quainted them with the result of their efforts. It was a gloomy evening which the Soma men spent together, discuss ing with tearful voices the desperate extremity to which the failure of their plans had reduced themselves and their friends. At last Sogoro said : 'There is still one thing left for us to do; we can appeal to our Lord's master, the Shogun. I know it is a capital of fene for a commoner to approach his Majesty, yet, for the sake of my suffer ing brethren, I shall sacrifice myself that their wrongs may be mado known and happily righted. Cm the morrow, tln-iffure, do you all. except six men, return to Soma and tell our poor friends lo haw tout btart?, for tli re is yet hope for them." Sogoro had from the first been recog nized as the leading spirit of the enter prise, and his companions now made haste to follow out his suggestions. The intrepid farmer and his six asso ciates drew up a new memorial, setting forth their grievances in a plain, straightforward manner and earnestly appealing for redress. Shortly after, while the Shogun, Iyemitsu, was on his way to I'yeno to worship at the tombs of his ancestors, Sogoro contrived to break through the troop of armed re tainers that were escorting his Majesty, and thrust the petition into the hands of the Shogun. The daring farmer was seized and hurried off to prison. Iyemitsu was a just ruler and gave the peasants' memorial his careful attention. The result of it all was that Kotsuke-no-Suke was ordered to reduce his tenants' taxes to a proper amount, and to return to them the money he had wrongfully deprived them of! The Lord of Soma was a very angry man, but though he might rage and vow vengeance upon the heads of his ten ants, he had to obey the orders of his chief. And thus relief came at last to the long-suffering peasants. But, alas for poor Sogoro! The Irre vocable law of the nation pronounced his offense deserving of death, and he was turned over to his legal Lord for execution.- In feudal Japan the nobility held the power of lile and death over their peasant-vassals, and now the cruel Kotsuke-no-Suke, thirsting for venge ance, determined to destroy the whole family of Sogoro. In vain his tenants, his Samurai, his councilors, and even the l'rinees of the surrounding country besought the lord of Soma to be merci ful; the bloody tyrant was inexorable. Sogoro and his wife were condemned to ' be crucified," and their three sons, aged seven, ten and thirteen respectively, were ordered to be beheaded in the pres ence of their parents. On the day of the execution all the inhabitants of the one hundred and thirty-six villages of Soma assembled to bid Sogoro and his wife farewell and to encourage them w ith their presence and their prayers. There w as not one there, even to the executioners themselves, that did not call down the blessings of Heaven upon the martyrs, while curses, deep and bitter, were hurled against the hated Kotsuke-no-Suke. After the parents were made fast to the crosses, the three boys were led forth and be headed in their sight. Friends received the bodies and bore them away to pre pare them for burial. O Man, Sogoro's wife, turning to her husband, said in a cheerful voice: "Remember, my husband, that from the first you had made up your mind to this fate. What though our bodies be disgracefully exposed on tnese crosses? we have the promises of the gods before us; therefore, mourn not. Let us fix our minds upon death; we are drawing near to l'aradise, and shall soon be with the saints. Le t us cheerfully lay down our lives for the good of our people. "Well said, wife, responded Sogoro, gayly. "I am happy because I have at tained my heart's desire. Our petition Was successful; had I five hundred lives, and could I five hundred times assume this shape of mine. 1 would die five hundred times to redress the wrongs of our people." Then the executioner taking his spear thrust it into the side of O Man and into the side of her husband, and both died there in the sight of the sorrowing peasants. And Kotsuke-no-Suke's chief councilor, when all was over, came and knelt down before the dead body of the farmer and said: "Although you were but a peasant, you saved, your brethren. You bruised j-our bones and crushed your heart for their sakes. Honors shall yet be paid to your spirit, and you shall be canon ized as a saint; you shall become a tutelar deity among the people of Soma." And so it came to pass. The farmers of Soma made the grave of Sogoro a place of prayer, and finally came to look upon him as divine. Finally a temple aroae in his honor, and he was at length duly canonized as a Buddhist saint. W. C Kitchin, l'h. IX, In Y. Ledger. AMONG THE PERUVIANS. Tbo South. American atioa Isxscribod by a Wlaeonsla UlrL When lion. John Hicks was appointed United States Minister to Peru he chose as Secretary of Legation a bright Amer ican girl. Miss- Elizabeth L. Banks. Since being domiciled aX Lima, the cap ital of Peru, Miss Banks has kept her eyes open, and, with instinct sharpened by her connection with various North western newspapers, she has proved a good news-gatherer. Writing to a friend In this city. Miss Banks says: "Procrastination is the ruling habit of Peru. Ask a Peruvian when he will do any cthing and he replies 'Manana," which being translated means to-mor-row. Nothing is ever done to-day, all things take place on the) manana,' which never cornea. This 'manana' habit is, I suppose, breathed la with every breath of the air that one takes in Peru, and I am afraid I have drawn a good deal of it into my aystem. "This Is a very interesting old "city, and yet the people and the government are very much behind the times, their ideas being those of one hundred years ago. The city of Lima has been called 'the heaven of women, the purgatory of men and the hell of asses,- and to the last proposition I will heartily assent. The city ia full of donkeys, and the men and women who drive and ride them al ways carry a big chunk of wood with them, which they continually apply to the ribs of the poor animals. Some en thusiastic writer has called the women of Lima the most beautiful ia the world. There are some pretty Peruvian girls to be met oa the streets or saying their beads In some of the many churches. Their dark eyes are the kind that would make a man jump off Pizarro's bridge Into the river Rimac if his suit hap pened to go wrong. The Peruvian mea pay a great deal of attention to their personal appearance and pass away much of their time ia dress suits and tooth-pick shoes. They are very gal lant, but are not half so nice as Ameri can men from any point of view. Wash ington Capital. . Small Boy "Say, pa, I wish you'd get me a bicycle." Old Man "Can't afford it, my son.

Prof. Murray Humphrey has just brought together a remarkable book on "Old Age." It is based upon the results of an inquiry conducted by the collective investigation committee of the British Medical Association. In a portion of it the analysis of the returns respecting S'J centenarians are given; of these IS were males and 30 fe males. Eleven of these were single (10 being females), S were married and 30 were widowed. Out of 50 returns 3 only were In affluent circumstances, 28 were comfortable and 19 poor; of these 9 were fat (3 being females), 20 were spare and 18 of average condition. Twenty-five were erect in figure and 35 were bent. Out of SS returns 9S used glasses, 7 did not; but of these 4. were poor, 8 had used glasses for 40-50 years, 5 for 30-35, 4 for 10-20. a for 4-6 years, 5 for "many yeans," S for a few years. From among these one had used spectacles for many years, but for the last twelve years had been able to read without them; another had not used them for twelve years; an other "not for many years," but one can not now get them strong enough. Out ot 47 returns 40 had a good diges tion. Out of 48, 36 had good appetites, bad and 10 moderate. Of 46, 25 were moder ate eaters, 9 small and 12 large. ' In re gard to alcohol, 15 took none, 24 a little, o were moderates and one was used to a good deal of beer. Of animal food 3 took none, 10 moderate, 25 little, very little and one much. Of aperients 22 took them rarely, 14 never and 5 frequently. Out of 39, 26 could say that their mem ory was good, 6 bad and 7 moderate. Of 45, 7 smoked much (4 being women). 2 little (1 a woman), S moderately (1 a woman). Out of 40, 37 did not take snuff. As to sleep, out of 40 32 were good sleepers, 5 bad and 7 moderate. From 35 returns the average time of going to bed was 9 o'clock; but 1 retires at 12 and 1 at IV 5 at 7; 7 are bedridden. The average time of rising was about S o'clock, but 6 rose at 6 o'clock, 1 at 5, 9 at 10. 1 at 11 and 1 at 4 p. m. Out of 42 returns 24 had no teeth, and from 28 returns but 4 had artificial teeth; yet in men about HO the average number of teeth is only 6 and in women 3. In 12 returns the average age when married among the males was 2:1, and the females 25; the average number of children is. from the returns received, V7. Pall Mall Gazette, SYMPTOMS OF ECZEMA. A XMaaffrewabl. Dleoae. Due to Coustita ttonad Iwbllity. Eczema accent on the first syllable Is one of the many eruptive diseases of the skin. The blood-vessels of the parts affected are in a state of conges tion, accompanied by itching, smarting and exudation of serum, or watery por tion of the blood. The disease varies greatly in severity and extent, as well as in its course and character. Its simplest form is a mere redness, perhaps on the eyelids or behind the ears, or near the joints. Some times there are pimples, either on affected spots or around them, or more or less diffused over the body. Sometimes vesicles water-bladders are formed by the exudation of serum beneath the skin, the special seat being the back of the hand or the front and sides of the fingers. In a few days the serum may be absorbed, the swelling subsides, the cuticle dries up and comes off, and the skin either returns to its normal condition or the cuticle is thrown off in scales. In another variety there is intense redness, profuse exudation and the formation of a thick crust, through fis sures in which a mucous pus exudes. The final period of eczema, when chronic, may be characterized by a com ing off of the cuticle in thin, fine scales, or by a tendency of the skin to chap and crack; sometimes the mere stretching of the fingers will cause it to break. Ia some cases tho skin becomes as hard and tough as leather, with an in clination to itch and throw off dry and scaly scurf; more rarely it is rough like an old wart, in which case the itching is generally very severe. Aa a rule, the eczema occurs in limited patches, but occasionally it spreads over a large part of the trunk or limb. There is hardly any part of the body which It may not attack. It is not con tagious. The disease may result from a condi tion of the body from constitutional debility, or temporary derangement of the nervous or digestive organs, or even from unsuitable or insufficient food or it may have an external exciting cause cold or heat in excess, insufficient clothing, or garments that irritate the skin. The treatment must be first directed against that which causes the condition of which the eczema is only a symptom. At the same time local treatment will be necessary. But no general direction can be given suited to so variable a disease. A skilled physician should nave charge of the case. Youth's Com panion. FADS OF SENATORS. Statwaaaaa Who lrwea WelL Others Who Are Slouehx sad Odd. Aldrich. of Rhode Island, is the hand somest man in the Senate rather tall, trimly built and well proportioned, with brow n eyes and gray hair and mustache, aays a writer ia the Chicago Times. Evarts might fairly be called the home liest if it wasn't for the power In his face that la almost a sort of beautv ia itself. 3 Four Senators are eminently well dressed Aldrich, Blackburn of Ken tucky, Manderson of Nebraska, and Butler of South Carolina. Many think that Butler is the handsomest. But as to dress it is a close call among those tour. The slouchiestof the Senators in point of apparel is Payne, of Ohio. Payne's clothes simply hang upon him, his neck tie is a string, or looks like it, and his collar is always awry. Quay's great fad is gray; he never wears any thing else. You might sup pose that he always wore the same suit, but in reality he has half a dozen made at a time, all just alike and gray the same shade, too. Frye, of Maine, is never seen without a carnation in his button-hole. He is the dude of the Senate; he looks younger than he is and dresses younger than be looks. His hair is parted in the middle; he wears a bang and a pay necktie, and although nearly sixty, he is still a good icai ol a masher. MY LOVE HAS GONE AWAY. I used to love the forest green. Each shady nook and dell. Where birds were twittering overhead. Intent their love to tell; But now it Is a hcunted spot, Where I no longer stray. Cor every thing reminds me that My love bas gone away. I used to linger on the beach To hear old ocean's roar. And watch the summer tides come in And dash along the shore; But now I can not bear to bear The dirpe the billows play. For they have lost their charm, because My love has gone away. The country lane was, I confess. Scarce broad enough for two. Unless the arm was round my wa'.st. And thus we wandt-red through ; But now it Is a noxious place. Where not a single ray Of li?ht appears, and all because My love has gone away. The universe is dark and dull; Around, above, below. There is nothing quite so beautiful As 'twas awhile ago; The birds no longer sing so sweet, The skies are cold and gray. And nature mourns with me, because My love has gone away.

Brula Waa Not Satlstted with Spanish Rteers A Bear Hunt In Which, the Bear IMd All the Hunting That Was Done. The California grizzly is a most Inter esting animal. As Bret Harte used to say, he has but one ungentlemanly habit, that of scalping with his fore paw, and this he caught from the wicked red man. Otherw ise, unless aggressive ly assaulted, he is the pink- of good be havior, lie will walk off the trail and give j-ou the right cf way, he will gather salmon berries in the same patch, or dig roots on the hillside whi'e you are sketching or writing not many y.a-d away. If it were otherwise if the grizzly had the temper of the royal Xiger thousands of the pioneers of California would have perished at his claws, for a full-grown grizzly when roused is a terriVlo antagonist. When Americans came to California grizzlies were very numerous. If-neral Bidwell saw scores of them in the Napa Valley, General Yallejo saw them feed ing like sheep in the Santa Roba. In the acorn season they were found in droves under the oaks. The- Spaniards learned to lasso and kill them. The Americans louna great sport, in wwuuus i . V ,..r H'Vrn t V, r T i i- I UICUI 11UU1 iium-uav ... . " - ...... sourian stockmen came they poisoned thousand of grizzlies, and the work is still going on so steadily that the great Pacific coast bear is very bcarce, and certain to become very rare in a fow more years. At present the finest skins that come to San Francisco are from the high Sierras and from Alaska. Forty-five years ago there were griz zlies in. the Santa Clara valley and in the foot-hills within twenty miles of San Francisco. They were in the live oak forests of Kncmal and the Contra Costa, where Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda now stand. They were occa sionally brought into the old mission of San Jose and turned iixo rings to fight Spanish bulls. But they lived for the most part in contented obscurity. When the pioneers came few of them understood the nature of the animal, and so the early stories that linger in the valley have elements of surprise that the later bear stories lack. Id Captain Valpey, a Nova Scotian sailor, sold his sloop at an early day and bought a foot-hill ranch. There was a deep gulch on the tract full of oak, madrono and chapparal. Pretty soon he discovered that a large grizzly lived there. The old captain went down to the village for advie. "He will kill your steers," said old Kester. who owned a stock ranch. "Buy a bottle of strych nine, and the first time you miss a steer go out and poison the carcass." Captain Valpey bought the strychnine. The next day he climbed up the hill, over the gulch, with his old spy-glass and looked down. He saw a great brown body moving along the trail, and soon the bear passed within fifty feet of the rock where he sat. The captain was delighted at his appearance. The next day at the village he declared: "Boys, nobody shall shoot or poison that grizzly of mine. He walks like an old salt, and he's as big as a horse! I ain't too poor to let him have a five-dollar Spanish steer whenever he wants it." Under these circumstances tho Valpey grizzly became famous and throve for several months. But one morning the old captain was upon "Maintop Knob" with his spy-glass. He saw bis drove of cattle was in the wooded pasture be low, huddled up in a bend of the creek. Before them, marchsng back and forth, occasionally rearing np and growling, was the great grizzly. He was selecting his dinner, much to the amusement of the captain. Suddenly the bear charged into the band and struck down with one blow the only blooded steer the captain owned. The rest of the cattle escaped with wild terror. The grizzly made his meal and went off. The captain swore awhile, then he got his strychnine bottle, and, late in the afternoon, cautiously descended the slope to where the body of his S100 steer lay with a broken neck. He poured the strychnine over the carcass, saying wrathfully: "Wasn't Spanish beef good enough for you, ye old native Californian?" So he poisoned his bear, after alL There was a family of pioneers w ho lived in the hills Of Alameda County, not far from Valpey's. The elder, Zachariah Cheney, took his son Joe and a young man named Allen out to kill a grizzly. They all knew very well where to find bim, in a wild and broken canyon, or about the rocks at its head, where oak trees grew. They had come across his tracks many times, and had seen him grubbing cam ass roots on the hill side when they were hunting up cattle. So they thought very little of . the danger. Each of them had a gun and a revolver. Suddenly they met the bear at the head of the wooded gulch, who, seeing their warlike preparations, im mediately charged them and treed all three in less than a minute. There was so little time for choice of a tree that the elder Cheney and young Allen got into scrub-oaks hardly larger than re spectable quince trees. In less time than it takes to tell it the, l..sr h.i Cheney on the ground, 8calpd bim w ith j one. mow, crushed his arm and shoulder Hade with another, and left him. Tho lear instantly turned his atten tion to young Allen, 6ized him by the boot-lc-g, and jerked him from the tree so violently that the poor fellow rolled thirty feet down the guloh and under some willows, where he lay in silence. The third man was boyond reach, so the grizzly, master of the circumstance, rose to his full height, gave a roar of triumph, and walked .leisurely home. Not a single shot was fired by any of the three men! Yet let no one too hastily shoot out the contemptuous lip, for ninety-nine men out of a hundred might have done as badly. The rush of the large grizzly from his chapparal shelter is a terrible thing to face. I distrust most of the current stories alut successful hand-to-hand encounters with full grown grizzlies. There is an oak trte in Shasta County under which a miner who had fired upon a grizzly was killed by one blow from the enraged animal, and when his companions killed the bear it was found that the man's bullet had passed entirely through the animal's body. If it were not for poison placed for him in his haunts the great master of the California forests would still walk 'alone as a rhinoceros" in almost every wild canyon of C'oast Range and Sierra. Men learn to give him the track when ever they can, aad if they go on the war-path it is w ith profound respect for their antagonist's strength and courage. I once met five or six San Luis Obispo farmers who had shot a huge grizzly. They took their guns and went dow n into tho gulch where tho bear lived. They found him where ho was compelled to cross the ravine to get to them, and so they were able to put over twenty bul lets into hiui before he died at their feet. They had just skinned him and spread the great hide on the ro-k when I rode up. I asked them how they flt about it and the leader said: "We none of us want to tackle another. If he had been on our side of the gulch instead of on his own mot of us would have been killed before we could pump enough lead into him."' And that seemed to i the general conviction. There were two Americans in the Santa Clara valley at an early day, brothers, named Howard and Michael Overacker. They ow ned largo farms, had a wide acquaintance and were very popular. They were also the best rifle shots and the most cool and successful hunters in tho county-. I have seen Michael, at a turkey match, kill his bird at six hundred yards. They used to kill wild geese, coyotes, mountain quail and hare on the run with their Henry rifles. Still, though they had shot hundreds of eVer, antelopes and elk they never went grizzly hunting. Ai last, in ISOs, in the San Benito mountains, Howard Overacker had his hear adventure, and the details are very characteristic of tho habits of the grily. The eider Overacker was thou in the prime of life, extremely strong, wiry, lean ana quick in his motions. His brother and a man named Ferguson formed tho rest of the parly. They let camp and separated, taking nearly par allel ravines. How ard was slow ly work ing his w ay through the dense, thorny bushes, called by Calif ornians chapparal. w hen he suddenly came upon a large aud old grizzly at close quarters. The ani mal was less than twenty feet distant, and at once, with a roar of rage, threw himself upon Overacker. The hunter, with that marvelous rapidity w hich such men acquire, put a bullet into his foe, threw out the shell aud had pumped an othes cartridge into tho rifle when the giant of tho w ilderness struck him. The blow delivered with the right paw struck him on the face and neck, hurled tho gun into the bushes and felled hiui to the ground. Tho grizzly instantly caught him in three places one paw over the ribs, breaking two and tearing them loose; the other paw on the ankles, rip ping and crushing the flesh; the teeth and jaws closed on the thigh, mangling tho cth and tearing it from the bone. Overacker, though perfectly conscious, lay without a motion through this terrLZc assault. The bear suddenly let go his hold ou he thigh and caught Overacker by tho shoulder, breaking and crushing tho bones together. From the time w hen he rose against the man to the time w hen he dropped him a bundle of broken bones and torn flesh, the grizzly had seemingly put forth but one tremendous effort. Overacker said afterward that he was no stronger in the bear's gTasp than a cat would Le.in bis own. The bear left him a moment, walked about in a circle, returned suddenly and bit pieces of flesh as large as a marble from vari ous parts of Overacker's body, and then took his final departure. Overacker, a few minutes later, seized the branches overhead and struggled to his feet, but, to use his ow n phraae, "all turned black," and his companions found him half an hour later. For weeks he was not expected to live, but his wife's nursing and his magnificent constitution pulled him through. Two years later Overacker returmd to tho same region and shot two large grizzlies without any assistance. One of them received eight Henry rifle bullets before he succumbed. This little sacrifice to his vanity being accomplished, he hunts no more bears, and even discourages the light-minded sneer at the California grizzly. I asked the veteran whether he would have used a bow ie if he had bad it while in the grip of the forest king. Overacker smiled grimly: "It was a very large bear as large as an ox. lf John Sullivan had been in my place, and had driven a bowie-knife through the bear's heart, he would have been killed in the death struggle. As for a revolver, it would have been suicide to have tried it. But if the bear had been fifty feet off when I saw him, instead of twenty feet, I could have kept out of the way long enough to kill him." Charles II. Shinn, in Chicago Inter Ocean. A Cause of Moeb I'rofantty. When a man runs a quarter of a mile to catch a train, and jumps on the plat form of tho last ear, "alloutof breath," as the locomotive steams out of the sta tion, he feels as if he had won a great victory. But when the train stops 1 f ore it has proceeded fifty yards, back's into the station and waits half an hour for some unexplained cause, he's mad. enough to blow up the whole business with dynamite.

The daring of American burglars and of their brethren in the allied profession of train-robbing has a world-wide fame. Englishmen, in their slow, conservative w-ay, 3liow but little less ability, though perhaps loss brilliancy. Whenever on the conti nent mail bagsare stolen, banks or groat jewelers robbed, Englishmen do the work. The famous robbery of French mails w hich took place about a year ato was a joint effort of Englishmen and Americans. In many cases these artists are Anglo Americans. Every now and then a 1 heft, usually successful, is made of postal packages passing between the diamond merchants of Hatton garden. London, and the diamond cutters of Amsterdam. Dutchmen are the losers by the theft, and some Ihitchmr-n doubt less profit by it, but Englishmen carry out the effective part of the work. T' ' conclusion to be drawn from all this la that only members of the great, world envelopintr, Anglo-Saxon race possess the resourceful courarre required in this method of gaining weulth. Probably the most perfect type of the mtnlern burglar is Billy Porter, who has been engaged in bank-robbing in every vr.ft r-f tV e.itmtry.

I'.hly and an ac complice entered the premises rf a rich jeweler at Munich, and carefully sw cured all the stones and jewels of un usual size an 1 value. What they took was worth 80,0:0 marks at the lowest estimate. Entrance to the jeweler's premises was effected in the most in genious mann(r, and the thouirhtf mI burglars loft r"pes, displnced f.ooring, etc, just as they used them, so as to provide an invaluable object-lesson for my of the German youth who mi.?ht wish to emulate them. Then they calmly traveled back to England in first class carriages and berths. The English, detectives succeeded in tricing tiicrn and found Porter living with his wifo, baby and UiOher-in-law hi a nice house jO a quiet, suburb of London. They found the liooty there, too. 1'ori.cr and his accomplice, were accordingly taken to tho Bow street police court and their extradition to Gernnny doma.nh d. Porter is a typical gentlemanly bur elar of rneloeraiaa, only a little less flashy. He came into court dresm.d n a black cutaway coat, trousers or dark ma terial, patent-leather lioots and dark rod scarf. His chin was shaven, ai.l be wore a carefully-trimmed mustache. He carried a silk hat in his right hand and a pair of gloves in his left.
