" Wuats tbe taatter, Hoot?" be askoeL Dniicp n, tbe pickpocket, known on tbe row as Hex, glanced t,p at Silvcr s'ein, granted oot an oath, and then l.tting his bead fall on hi brvait again relapserd into silence. j -What U it. Hoot:-" ! Silvert-Tein was growing curious, he bad done light fingered work fur a time himself and luew soiaethiug of the changing oocditiona of a man's life when be made hiweelf an off nsive fn etuv cf Hocietr. '"See that, Jow?" said the piekpocKet, Lauling a sea rfj;in from bis Test pocket. It was a short pold pi", topped with n huge pesil cf that rare virgin pink. It seemwi to le a valuable bit, and Sil x rstein's t jes glistened as be looked at it. "Take it to Cocney," be said in a whisper. -He's safe." Tbo pitljxxLct laughed in bellow fashion. "Too safe," be said. Then he Ftraisbteued rp, threw his bat back on bis In ad and raid: "ilvervti in, in these days a man like me aia't p t no license to live. What's the skill of i::ybacd, that can take most anything from a screw stnd to a scarf pin from a man without bis knowing it, agr.iust the train of a man that can xuako them things-" "Are yoa natty, Iloot?" inquired the puller in, edging away. "So, Jew, no; but listen to me. Yon know the hotels are my graft and this region down here my market. Well, I was out spotting today, and finally along comes a feller that I sized up fer my meat He was a dressy guy, with all color ribbons on bis bat and them pready soles on bis shoes. He had a big pink necktie on, and in it this here pin was stock. From the Hze of bis chain, I said to myself that the puukiu on the end of it must be a bird, but when I see that pink pearl I decided to let the watch go and make for that. "Well, be was a nervous cuss, and I couldn't get a chance at him fer a long time. I followed him up Broadway and laid for bim outside a restaurant while be took lunch. Then be met a lady, and they took more lunch together. When be "came out, the two took a hansom, and I hear him say to tbe driver, 'Around tbe park. Well, I follow the bansotu to the park, and, seeing which entrance it goes in, lay around the cir cle for it to come out again. Two hours I waited there, Jew, and then I eee the hansom and runs off two pounds a-fol-lowing it down town- My man, he leaves the lady at a bouse, then drives to tbe comer of Broadway and starts walking down slowly. Now, says I to myself, I've got bim.' But I didn't get bim. Ho meets a friend, and they go and play billiards fer two more hour Will, I was bustirg, I was bo mad, but I made tp my mind to stick. I see a dozen juicy chances go by, but I couldn't leave that piuk pcarL My eyes watered at think ing of it and my fingers itched for it. By and by my man comes out, and he and his friend go in a saloon, one of them places where yon stand up at a fcidt-board. I followed aud just as my man lifts a glass up to drink I push against bis friend. The friend , . i 1 i. ,. pusues against mm, uuu uu tui ua omuuu. I was waiting, of course, and next min cte the pearl was mine. It was a long chance, Jew, but you know a feller'll take them once in awhile. When the guy turns around, I was chewing a sand wich from the counter and bawling to tho waiter for a check. " Well, the guy misses tbe pin. Damn me if I know what put bim on. You know I don't mess a job like that, Jew. My heart was a-going hard, Jew, but I almost falls over when I see bim put bis baud op to the tie, feel around and then, instead of hollering murder, police, watch and a dozen other things, just grin and say to bis friend, 'Some sucker's got a gold brick.' "There was me with tbe pin in me palm nil ready to drop it in the 6alad on the counter. When he don't make a hol ler, though, I snakes her back in my pocket and in two minutes am on the way down to Cooney. "I saw easy times and no chances fer a couple of weeks on the strength of that pearl, Jew, aud when I tossed it over to Cney I said, 'Give me f 250, a quarter value.' Cooney whistles at the pin and picks it cp. Then he begin to look iuecr. Finally he dips the pearl in a glass of water and, picking up a knife, s'belp me, goes a peeling off that pink alor. 'Cooney,' I yell, 'what are you doing?" 'Fish glue,' says Cooney. Aud he throws the pin back. "Well, it was one of them fish glue pearls. You've seen 'em just a bit of glass painted over with fish glue, just ringers for the real thing, but worth about 60 cents. I walks out of Coouey'g in a trance. I comes over here, aud I ain't moved fer an hour. Think of it, Jew, think of it, all day and a leng chance fer that thing! Take it and give it to yer gal tho next time you go up to Jones' wood. S'help me, if I ever find that guy I touched I.r that I'll piek a fight Willi bim and lick bim. Goodby. I'm going home aud get some rest. Chas ing hansoms is bard work." And tho pickpocket strolled down a side street th picture cf melancholy. Xew York ?un. Not oa tbo riaybilTu "The funniest thing I ever saw in tbe line cf business?" echoed tho leading theatrical manager of Detroit. "It was right here in this city, and I actually laughed till they bad to call a doctor tc take too tick out of my ribs. Of course this will handicap the story, for I can never make the incident appear as ridic ulous as it was. "We were having a corking show and a big rush at tho Whitney Grand. Ono night, shortly Lt'cru t o'clock, while tho bouse was filling rapidly a large young man came from the inside and asked permission of tbo docrtendei to go out " 'Well, begaa the man on guard, who is a born jollier, 'it's u gainst tbe rule g of tbe bouse to permit eny one tc leave after occupying a seat, but you look like a reliable citizen, and I'm half disposed to makes an exception in your case; but I am not certain that you'll ccme tack.' "Though evidently a 'Eube,' in the parlance of tho profession, the fellow Lad the assurance of a croesroeds oracle. Oh, I'll be back all right enough!' be said cheerily. 'You needn't worry a minute about me.' " 'I don't know about that IT I wat only sure.' And the joker kept a per fectly straight face. " 'I tell you, I'm square," declare the fellow, with a flourish. 'Here! 11 yon don't want to take my word for it, here's this watch and chain for security that I'll show up before tbe show be gins.

Had I" Very Crtt Variety of tjl, Sa.Kd to All OmMor,. Ball programmes tre made iu hun dreds rf uybs. A whr.) ale dealer in New Ycrk prepares a sample book, which is of tire sue cf an atlas and tbe thickness cf a dictionary. Fa nc7 cards for some ether uses are shown in this leek alt-o, but cf tall programmes alone thre may be 5'JO ttyies. Tbe took is like a great allium. The dealer e.aids cut 2,;.L0 etch l-ccks to printers and flat ioncrs. Fr. grau.mes can Le bought at almost siiy prire, including many at extremely low price s. Nearly all are more or less triiamelittd. many f tbeju with em-be-ed work finished with gilt or in col crsaud in a great variety of designs. There is scarcely any sociny, perhaps none, that cculd not find hire an a; pro priate programme. There is, for in stauce, a ball prcgrainme embellished wish a trolley car. A number of pro grammes, suitable for yachting club iaiices, have a yacht surrounded by va rious imblcms of yachting and of the a- Ttere are programmes for musical societies, with appropriate emblems, and for railroad men, for bicyclists, for military organizations, for letter car riers, fer firemen. The cords find tassels for the pro grammes are a separate article of man ufacture. They are produced in great variety cf colors, qualities, sizes and styles and sold in enormous numbers and many cJ them at prices that seem n:arv lcus!y hcap. It is probable that n arly all the programmes of the kinds referred to, handsome and elaborate as many of them are, would sell complete at prices cnd r $G a hundred. There are foldt d ball protrraninies, with a picture decoration, that are sold at wholesale, without printing or cord and tassel, as low as So ct uts a hundred. TLe pructicu S cottlier pro-grcti-n.es, such as sell fc r (o a hundred and upward, is a business by itself. These are made iu about 150 different designs, ranging in jrieo cp tot 1.23 each. They tre made iu a great variety cf shapes aud siz s, i:ud, cs with the less costly I rogran-ia a, cf designs appropriate to tie occasion on which they are used. Tbs moio eostlv prngraruinis are adorn ed tti-.h' Li.ud painted pictures. Cellu loid in various forms is employed in the n.aLin f these programmes, aud satin, lace r.ud p-iier mache are also used. All tbe.se pr -grammes arc of larger size than the if sd expensive varieties, and each one is put up in a box. A pro gr.iti.u:e tf ibe highest price was an elaborate production 14 inches square. TLo programmes' most commonly sold Oi::o:;g the costlier kinds bring about $18 a Lu:;cr.d. Tbno tre sold of the cheaper vari eties of I all programmes millions annu ally ; cf the costli r far fewer. These n-aybe numbered in thousands. Winter is the season ef the most active demand for ball programmes, but they are sold the year round. Some ball programmes are exported to Mexico and tbe varions countries of Soulh America. Many of tbe ii signs are equally suitable and ap propriate cnywbtre. Tbe printing is done in the countries iu which they are need. New York fc'cu. Bounding CelebrttiM. Dr. Faul Gamier, a French sp"cialist in lunacy, has been giving some infor mation about the insane men aud wom en who follow celebrities about and fall i:t love with them. The doctor has to send two or three women of this sort to asylums every month, uud u-rthiug is known of tho cases I y the public. Good looking prksts, the doctor declares, are notably marks for tbe attention of such females. After the priests, but in a lesser degree, come tbe members of parlia ment wbos" names are most frequently in the newspapers or who make good speeches ill the chamber, th authors and the handsome actors. The latter, like the j riests, have often been threat ened ly their jealous admirers. In some instances om n have gone to the the aters with loaded revolvers ready to fire at them, but for some reason cr other Lave failed to carry out their purpose. A, to actresses, Dr. Gamier states that their dangerous adorers are terribly nu-nwu-ous. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt has sometimes to be watched over very care fully. Her worshipers secrete them eelves in ail sorts of places in order to sec her ent-.r or leave her theater or her re sidence. The special det-ctive-s have Lad to interfere on two noted occasions in order to save the famous actress from the bullets or the daggers of maniacs who resolved to injure or kill he-r be cause she n fused to respond to the ir flat tcries nu.l passionate declarations of love.

The State appropriation to the public schools will be distributed this year on the basis established by the Legislature last year, bo that the recent triennial aa sessuient will be ail important ia deter mining the amount the various districts shall re-.-eive. Heretofore the millions granted to the schools by the State have Un distributed on the ha-iis of the taxa ble. Under the new act of Assembly, however, the meney wiU.be distributed one-third on tbe number of schools, one third n tbe number ef children between tbe hrc of fi and l! and one third oti the taxablen. Tbe provisienw of the new law, w hich seta apart oue-tbird on the basis nf the M-hool children between the ages e.f 6 and In. will be rather favorable, it is thought to the populous centers aud elraw freui the sparsely-settled districts. The one-third on the number of schools will be a gain for tbe country distrirt especial ly tbe less populous districts. Of course, tbe e,ne third on tbe basis of tbe taxable will be faverble to the populous districts eo that the result as a whole will not ma terially affect the distribution as under the old law. The populems cities and towns will have two chances as against the rural communitiesin the number of taxable and school children between tbe ages of 6 and 16. As the children in the cities and towns are about equivalent to the number of taxebles, they will hold their own as sgainMl the country districts, which will lead the procession in the number of schools. In many rural dis tricts there are often less than a dozen pupils in a school, while in the city the average to a school is forty-five. Thus, in the rouud-up the cities and towns, which expected to receive a reduced amount under the new appropriation scheme, will get about as much as they did under the old method. At the Department of Public Instruc tion the returns upon which the distri bution will be based are being received, but it will be late in April or the begin ning of May before tbe department offi cials will have tbe dat necessary to make up tbe figures for each district On one blank the County Coin ni is. loners are sending to the department tbe number of taxable residents in the several school districts of each county ;ou auotherthe county Superintendent of Schools sub mits the number of teachers not includ ing substitutes or teachers employed to fill vcanciesoccuriing during the pres i nt school year regularly employed and paid by tbe school boards of the several iliKtricts. There is also an enumeration of tbe school children between the sges of C and 16. . Mr. F. C. Helbig, a prominent drug gist of Lynchburg, Va., says : "One of our citizens was cured of rheuma tism of two years standing, by one hot tie of Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

A story appears in the Youth's Com panies eemeerning the application of a man to President Lincoln for appoint ment to a position rs Army Chap lain. Attached to the original document are a number of endorenient9 which are uet only interesting in themselves, but as dise-losing the character of the two men wheise influence largely molded the policy of the Government in those turbulent times. The tndersemenU read as follows: Dkak &TAvrtx: Appoint this man Chaplain in the Army. A. Linwlx. Dkar Mr. Lincoln: He is not a preacher. E. M. Stanton. The following endorsements are da ted a few months later, but just come below: Dkar Stanton: He is now. A. I,ixevLN. Dkar Mr. Lincoln: But there is no vacancy. K. M. Stanton. Dear Stanton: Appoint him Chap-lain-at-Large. A. Lincoln. Dear Mr. Lincoln: There is no warrant of law for that. E. M. Stanton. Dear Stanton: Appoint him any how. A. Lincoln. Dear Mr. Lincoln: I will not E. M. Stanton. The appointment was not made, but the papers were filed, and remain as evidence of Lincoln's friendship and Stanton's obstinate nerve. Hens that are being "coached" for egg production should not be "stuffed." Their feod being of the proper charac ter their crops should never be more than moderately full. It is a delusion to suppewe that bens will not eat more than is good for them. As in tbe case of human beings, when tempted by sppetizing viauds, they will gorge themselves, and thus bring on indiges tion, and waste energy iu the tflbrt to get rid of the surplus. FLORIDA.
