"Y.very vostir- of tilt fashionalili' "kik" has l;.sailt'UT-ecl." saiil a iletoc tivc to im the otlu-r lav. wlien I ro-iii'st.-l li is. views rvaniiiiij certain jiha.so of i:u'triiMlituii life. Tho shoplifter's "kick" is tiio technic- :il natni' fr tin -apaciits ha or px-ki't she wln prefers to buy' when the clerk lias his hack turned lias con cealed under her cloak, or. rather. sewed to the same on the which men have under tail. It is not hy reason of Itcau McAllister that the left side, or the left coat an edict liy old kick" is frointr out of use, .".OS ,f the penal hut liecuuse section xle makes it a critni- nal offense for anyone ti have it in his or her possession. It is I oth in sorrow and in anvr that shoplifters are part ins1 with it; hut the "cops"' having "j-ot on" to it it had to ro, for it stood as conclu sive proof aprainst its owner. From several stnresdeteet ives learned that the iiiethi k,Is Used in wtr!iiiy' the old kick" had become so w-ll known to tln-tn and to salesgirls that s'loplifters saw the necessity of keep ing pace with a roressive a.LTe. So a more convenient contrivance was rot ten up. It is called a "hoist in;' kick." This consists of a rentlar dn-ss skirt, so far as app ;: ranee jrocs. covered lv an apron ovcrskirt. hjch is short, and cuJt lie raised easily. In the front of the nmiersuirt is a "wide vertical slit which is l.ut 1 lie open in"; to the immense ha"; which the underskirt consists of, it k'oin; around the entire body ami down to the heels. This was foumJ more convenient than the sid "kick." from the fact that it necessitated less movement and a mo tion that aroused little suspicion. The thief would stand close to a counter where small articles are ex posed, penerally lace or silk handker chiefs or stockings. She would take one in her hands, examine it. hold it on the edjre in front of her. call for some thin;.' else, anl while the salesgirl had her back turned would slip it into the slit. As the ''kick is made of paper mus lin the stolen articles would slip down easily. Should the thief miss the aperture a rare occurrence, for they an- persons of nerve the artich would i;iil on the floor arid the thief would pick it up, replace it on the counter and claim that it was au accident, which it really was. Tli is worked well, until several shop lifters usin;r this "kick" were arrested and searched, which exposed the whole thin;,', and now there art; few of them in existence. So the evil-doer's genius had ujrain t lie called into requisition, and a woiitan who was arrested in a Sixth avenue store showed how she had improved oa tliat style. She wore a ln-autiful flouneed dress covered with a short apron ovcrskirt, draped and caught up here and there in such a way as t form nat tiral-l.okin pulls. This went iiround the entire txly, and a little to the riht was a pocket, rendered absolutely invisible by the drapery. When searched uu in credible amount of articles of all sorts stolen from dilTcreut stores were found in the underskirt. A detective told me that a notorious shoplifter was once caught who had in her "kick" two pieces of lace of twenty-five yards ea h. worth twenty-nine dollars a yard; two pairs of silk stoek infrs one silk and one lace, handker chief, a piece of scented soap and a I'rummajrem scarf pin worth forty-ei-rht cents all of which she Lad stolen in vurions stores in Sixth avenue. And, strange to say, it was the cheapest of the articles that lictrayed her t lie cake of soap, valued at eighteen cents. An other was caujjht with sixteen yards of silk, valued at one hundred and twenty dollars in her "kick." Another clever device wliich was potten np almost contemporaneously with the "kick" was the clastic hand In) x. It was made like a gentleman's hxtlox, of cardiMiard, the cover being held close to the box by two clastic bands in the Interior of the lxt. The purloincr would place the bandlxrx on a counter containing articles that had captured hei fancy, especially where there were few salesgirls. She would call for certain cheap ar ticles which would cause the salesgirl to turn her back to the purchaser. The shoplifter would then lift the cover of the 1kx with one Land, throw in as many articles as the could take hold of, and by means of the elastic luuds the cover would Ik instantly and automati cally closed, leaving no trace of the ro"b liery. The contrivance was so deceptive, by reason of its innocent apitcurauce and r-iU.m ,Vttrt. so to speak, and worked so admirably, that, it was a long time lie fore the detectives VauL'ht on." unit many thousand dollars worth of arti cles were stolen by this means ln-fore an arrest was made. The first capture ras caused by a salesgirl at a luce counter iu a Twenty-third street store. She bad not urn the shoplifter put anything in the bandltox, but bud lieoa attracted ty the singular manner In which the cover was closed apparent ly of it.self. She notified a floorwalker. The woman was ealhil into a private iMorn, accused and searched, and in the bandliox were articles enough to start a miniature country fancy goods store. Among other things she had thirteen scarfs, an inkstaml, a cigar holder and a dice 1hx. stolen from different stores which showed that her tastes ex tended over a wide field. Well, the bandlx-.x has had a brilliant but comparatively brief career, and few arrests were caused by its use, but those that were made occurred within a few days and the workers of the con trivance saw that the game was up and gave up the ghost. There is no record of any having lieem used recently. This was in time succeeded by a simpler trick, one that has long beeri worked with success lccatise it creates no suspicion. It is the satchel game. Although store detectives say it is com paratively dormant just now, it was ex tensively workisl during the holidays. These are used for stealing pocket Ikxi1;s as well a-s (foods. They are, in appearance, like ordi nary hand satchels but they open and close by means of a spring. The thiefs right hand presses a button, and the left, which is always unirloved. does the rest. It is by this means that poekctlxioks are oftenest stolen in crowded dry goods stores and this has served to make trouble for many sales girls. The pickpocket (for such he or she is) generally works with a eon fed--rate. She first espies a woman with a XK-ket-Ixxik in her hand and they are legion. She will follow that woman in the gen erally gratified expectation that she will ere long deposit it on the counter where she stops to examine gixxls. The thief will crowd near and snatch the pocket b Nils in a twinkling at the first opportunity and pass it to the con federate, who disappears and has not been noticed near. The real thief can remain lx-side the victim with safety, as. should she 1x2 arrested, nothing can be found on her. As the Ix-st inventions are generally the simplest so are the latest and most successful methods of shoplifting. These are three. One is done by means of the cloak Known as the eonnepiara. This is made somewhat like a circular. It is a long, lwse cloak, covering even the hands. It enables the thief not only to steal with a greater degree of safety but also to conceal her Ixxity. All she has to do is to get near a crowded counter, throw the edge of her cloak partly over the article which she covets, slin her hand i:ndei':ie1h the ) cloak, take the article, step hack anil hold it in her hand. I'nless she is caught in the act she cannot lxi arrested or even suspected. Allot ner is still simpler. The thief lays her handkerchief carelessly on some small article she wants to steal, feigns a desire to buy something else, is not suited, and while the saleslady replaces the goods on the shelf the thief picks up her Ixxity with her handker chief. 1 f she should happen to Ix; caught she naturally claims that she did not know that she had the stolen article iu her possession. The third one is worked by means of a handbag containing twine and wrap ping paper. This bag is curried in the left hand and filled with whatever gixxls the shoplifter can secure; then she will go into the toilet room or some side street, take out the gixxls, paper and twine, wrap them up iu a neat par cel and try again or go away unmo lested. Uut perhaps the cleverest of the shop lifters' tricks is the "pennyweighter game. It is known t but few and practised by a still smaller numlx-r, for it is a difficult one. It has lx-en most successfully worked by a pretty little blonde, with a Lahy face, blue eyes, curly hair and the general appearance of a lx'r itching soabrctte. Her profes sional name is "Little Seotty." She came to grief in lloston and was given three years. Her iiuxle of working is to go to a jewelry store and ask to be shown loose diamonds on a tray. She pre tends tobe very shortsighted and lx-nds over and very close to the tray, exam ining the diamonds through an eye glass. She exposes her left hand so as not to lx? suspected, and at a propitious moment drops a omearat diamond into the tray, and with her tongue, on the point of which she has pulveriicd alum, she licks up a two-carat diamond. She cannot l:nd the exact counterpart of the one she wants to match (which she has not with her) and gx;siiitoanother store where she exchanges her two carat diamond in a similar manner for a three-carat, and so on ad infinitum. When she was caught she had started with a one-carat diamond and bad reached six and a half carats, making three or four hundred dollars in a few hours. Store detectives say that there are comparatively few professional shop lifters in the city now, and once they are caught they disappear hs soon us the law permits and nver return. They go to other cities They say that supxsedly respectable women now give them more trouble than thieves I found out, to my astonishment, that there are comparatively few of our large stores who employ detectives the majority of them t raining their sales girls and lb xir walkers to do that work. Still. I found one which, besides hav ing a man detective, also employed a woman, who mixes among customers in full street costume. Not all store thieves are canght, and those who art; captures! are not always prosecuted. And this entails a loss to each first-class store which runs up into the thousands and which has a place in the "profit and loss" account. N. V. Herald.

The l earful Kosh of n Aralnnche 1'roiu j y or.nt.iln Fenk t iul b. - Alxn.t two thousand feet from the Denver ,t IMo ('ramie depot there is a mass of snow in one lump which con tains alxmt one million tons of water. The mass represents a snowslide which came from the summit of Kendall mountain the night of Fe bruary -'.'5. The point where the snow broke from the apex of tV.e mountain is probably two and a half miles from the railroad track, and the slide made the run according to witnesses who heard the crash at the start and the crunch when it stopped - less than two minutes. Monday r.ight was a terror. The mercury had shrunk away down in the bulb, and everyone expected to sec the climax of the storm. Alxmt S o'clock great banks of snow began to accumu late and pile up in fnntastic shapes on the mountu'm tops. Then came pull's of wind as strong as a gale, uinl miniature whirlwinds scurried here and there all over the park, toying with the lxse lxiards ami sending up columns of sixirt ive Mimvl!aU says the Silverton (Col.) Min.-r. Higher and thicker and darker the cl mil battlements piled over tlio Aniinas canyon, while those up the Animas, like castles of light riding on billows of resplendent silver, hximcl in magitiu ecnt grandeur. Over and among thus.' aerial mountains the moon peeped through iiifi'.lly and cast in a Jbxxl of dazzling light. Ity V o"chx;k the storm was at it--height. The wind tort; through the foliage on the hillsides and. hatt-ring at the buildings hurled defiance ::t man kind. Serpentine lines of glittering fire gleamed from lx-twecn the rev.'. ; in the clouds, und loud detonations from the battlements on high prx.-laimed the march of the storm. It was alx'tit midnight when, alxve the roar of the elements far above the clouds upon old Kendall, the loud "crae-k-k" wiis hearL Then a "cn -k-i, crooih. crunch"'' and then the wT-.ole mountainside seemed to le coming with a fearful and indescribable err. .h. Thousand., of tons of snow were shot out of that wide space alwive timWr line and piled into Idaho gulch, ami brushing down every tiling before it. Trees rx-ks banks of frozen earth all shared in a common fate, and to see that monster coining, us it seem.-d, from the clouds, would have lx-en a grand sight. Thev was no stop to the colossal mass when it struck the iX.:,t. Making its own road i.s it cou;-; i d itt rats-, tilling in a.11 declivi' ! :;. it con-" tinned on its mud race until it reached the river. Instead of stopping there, it smeared a bridge for itself and coiitin-a-d over the railroad track, carrying with it two telegraph poles the V and spread itself final'y over the town site, within two hundred yards from the main street c-f Silverton. Such a slide has never lx-fore 1xen set n here, and to those who have never s,-en one and are skeptical of its tre mendous energy, we invite their atten tion to this one ln-fore going elseuhere. tmee bciore in me History oi tnis town has the Idaho gulch slide come down, i and that was in 179, wncn it barely reached the river.

Uam anI the i:xt-nt to Which it I'reruil. Out of the thirty-two millions of sub jects over whom her majesty now reigns as jueen of reat llritain. taken in round nuintx-rs, alxmt thirty-two thousand are said to Ir- blind. This es timate, however, says the Edinburgh Kcview, must be understood to imlude a considerable numlx-r of those partial ly deprived of sight, as, during the last forty years, the ratio of blind persons in every million has slowly but steadily fnllen from ten hundred and twenty to eight hundred and nineteen, a decrease of one-fifth of one per cent. The small ness of this decrease, when so much has been done in other directions to lewn the ravages of disease, arises from two facts tirst, that in a consider able numlx-r of cases blindness is the result of some untoward accident stone-throwing, a splinter of broken glass, a sudden blow or fall, and sec ondly, and in a still larger numlx-r of eases is the result of neglect, ill-treatment or exposure to cold when the vic tim was but a few days or weeks olcL So large a percentage of blindness, in-ih-ciL is due to this cause that the royal commissioners while noting it, sug gest a special remedy, viz., the em ployment of trained inidwives among the poor, and the careful use of Kr ehloride of mercury for washing the eyes. Thirty per cent, of all the cases in schools and asylums are due to puru lent ophthalmia, for which this pre p a rat ion is found to lx- the best remedy, at once cheap, harmless and easily pro cured, a point of vital importance when it is remcmlH-red that "one or two days make all the difference lx-tween saving and hising vision." The numlx-r of chil dren actually blind from birth is com paratively small, but that of those who afterward liecom" blind 1mm accident or disease goes on increasing; and it is on these two latter points therefore, that legislation is demanded and can do good. Iu such trades as are found to lx.' directly injurious t the sight, as iron ship building, granite work, grinding of cutlery, etc., where a chance spark or splinter is too often fatal, the use of some special covering for the eye might be made compulsory, while in the case of infantile disease prevent ative measures are still more easily within reach.

An Alabama merchant, says the New York Kvening Sun, who lived many years in a country town in that state, entertained a pr rty of friends lat night with son.e stories of an ol 1 countryman who held the. of.ire of justice of the peace down there for many years. "Jerry Ilenson didn't know nnyth'ng alxrat law lKxVks never read one in l.i s life," he said, "bnt be Led r. big heart and level head. His neighbors all loved him, and when he was elected justice of the i-eace in Mulberry township. Ala., they knew he would deal out pure and unadulterated justice without :my legal frills or formalities. Jerry held the oiiice eighteen years bchig reelected eight times without opposi tion.

"When his neighlxrs quarreled and threatened to go to law, .Judge llensoa always advised them to settle the mat ter outside of court if possible, and save costs. If they pcrsi-Usl and brought suit, he often lniiCe them re gret their failure to take his a Iv'.;.1 by his bill for costs. When pe, 1 went to law in his court somebody had to pay the costs. "Lawyers often exhausted his pa tience by asking awitnc--, scc:ni:igly unnecessary questions, a;id then he would take a hand, and cither ask the questions himself or answer for the witness "Xo case was too large or too small for .lu Ige Denson. He tried men for murder and let them off v. it a a lite-of ten dollars and costs, granted divorces sentenced prisoners to six and twelve months' hard labor on his own farm, and enforced the sentence. He ab.o tried cases resulting from family quar rels suits for debts of ten cents, suits that bad no legal basis or status; in fact, all was grist that came to his milL "One day a case was on trial and the plaintiff's lawyer was asking the w it ness unne3essary questions Ton. Simpson, one of the judge's neighlxirs took the stand and the lawyer began: ''What did 1 understand you to say your name w as? ' 'Torn Simpson. " 'Mr. Simpson, where do you reside?" 'Here Judge lK-nson interrupted, and turning to the lawyer, said: His name is Tom Simpson; he lives on Turkey creek: moved there from Winsto.i coun ty fourteen year, ago: lie owe., me lodr dollars and six bits; been owin' it nigh on to a year now; he married old man Scth Alb-n's gal Ntiney.

"Alter this complete biography of the witness the lawyer proceeded di rectly to the facts of the. case.

The murdered man had a bad reputation, s-.nd there was some provocation for the deeL When the cose was called the tlefendant had two lawyers and a score of witnesses while numerous friends of the d ad man were present to see that justice was done. Judge Denson did not propose to waste valu able time on negroes, so he called on the prisoner to stand up. '"Xow, there ain't no use denyin' i that you killed that negro,' he said, 'for they say the proofs all agin you; but he needed kUlin' about as bad. as any one in this settlement, and I guess everybody's glad to be rid of him. llut courts can't work for nothin", prisoner, so I'll Cne yoa ten dollars and costs "The Cne was paid, and while this di'-p.isition of the case excited some comment nothing wu-. ever ! .!.' nHmt it. the p.-ople f the neighborh-xxi seeming to a gr - with Judge Denson t!i:'t it was a good way to get rid of the ne'.T.i.

"When asked once for an explanation of such utiwarraated proceedings his reply was that the law allowed him costs in every cast; be tried, and. if a man had no money, how teas the court to get the cost if he didn't work it out ? To tiiis logical opinion there was no reply, and no one ever interfered with the judge afterward. 4The redeeming features of Judge Denson's remarkable administration of justice was that he us.ially managed to get at the truth of a case, and never allowed any legal technicalities to in fluence his decisions. If a man was guilty he was punished in some w ay. and if innocent he was discharged. True, the judge decided a great many cases over which the laws of the state gave him no jurisdiction, and in many ways he violated th letter of the stat utes, but as hi decisions were usually just from a moral standpoitit, they were allowed t staml Several times dissatisfied parties to civil suits and lawyers called the atten tion cf t!..; governor or the grand jury to Denson's mct'i.v.l of doing business but every investigation resulted in a vindication for the judge. Once he was called before a grand jury and asked if he knew what law was. " 'Yes,' he answered. 'Law is a lot of stiiiT put in lxxiks by lawyers to keep honest jH-ople out of their rights" "The jury thought this definition was so Jiear the truth that they allowed the judge to go.
