HUNTING A BURGLAR. THE E (CITING EXPERIENCE OF A GRAND RAPIDS MAN. The Hlr d Rlrl «u to It. Too, From Start tf Fial ik—With Bmhtt n»d Dwk 4» tato t ie BooMhoMer Took to th« JVm* fG- An (JnrMWODkbU Wtto. “It it dreadful to be suddenly awakened at night by a large, coarse burglar without any innate refinement; ’’said the Union ttreet resident, “and when for wife awoke me Thursday night, and |n one of those whispers women invariably use After the tights are out, and which always cause a man's backbone to crawl up behind his ears, told me she was sure theie v as a burglar in the house, I remember requesting her to go down and refer him to the Charity Organization society because I was sure to get the grip if I left my warm bed and went parading around the house without stopping to put on anything but 4 defiant expression.” “Did she go?” “She did not, although I explained to jber that if she wonld merely stop down stairs and speak to the burglar in a conciliatory way he wonld probably go away quietly, and there would be no trouble. I told her that if I should suddenly eomeTace to face in my own house with a crude, uncouth robber who bad not been invited there, and who bad no i letters of introduction, my fiery temper wonld probably get the better of me. and there would be an awful hand to hand straggle, which woulcnike enough inspire in me such a fiendish longing for warm, red blood that I wonld thrash around for weeks afterward killing respectable people on sight. I have always striyen for a higher mission in life than to go aronnd shooting large, ragged holes through the vitals of mv fellow men, and for that reason I elplained to my wife how even1** bnrgkr might have loved on<a dependent npon him for support, and inat life was probably jnst as dear to him as it is to p member of congress.

Cttl JVU call 1 lillft jBUjr rcuw imv a woman’s head after she has become imbued with the idea that there are bnrgiars in the boose, and at length, rather than have any trouble over the matter, I arose, and grasping a revolver and lighting my boy’s dark lantern started oat to find that borglai and explain to him that he most have been m:led by the number on the door and got into the wrong house. 1 did not go down on a gallop, because I preferred to give the , housebreaker a chance to realize his danger and escape with his life while there was yet time. It seemed bars i and unfeeling to coldly shoot a man to death when I did not even know what ward he voted in, and so I slammed filings around and created considerable disturbance on the way down stairs. “I looked under the door mat and turned my searchlight on the hatrack witl oat finding a burglar and was jn^t on the point of returning up stairs to consult with my wife as to whether she cared to have the parlor carpet massed np with his blood if I should find him when I caught a glimpse of a form robed in a long nlster start back from the landing and dash np stairs. My first impnl8e was to let the bnrglar stay np here if he cared to. because I coold have got along on the ground floor well enough the remainder of the night, and I do not want to seem inhospitable to any one, bat I realized that it was my dnty to protect my family, and I took after him. Well, sir. I bad no idea there was so much fan in merrily romping ground the house with a bnrglar after hni'iness hoars. We made the first circuit of my family residence within 19 seconds, and thongb 1 could not tocns the dark lantern quickly enough to get a good look at the housebreaker I could tall hr his hoarse labored breathing and

the way in which he reached out and covered apace that he was a good deal annoyed by the tarn affairs had taken. “‘I had never seen a burglar act that way before, and it did a good deal toward restoring confidence. It seemed to me that a burglar who had no more sang froid and nerve than that had better go home and take in plain sewing rather than try to eke oat a precarious existence in the midnight marauding line, and the reflection served to put so much boyish zeal and enthusiasm into my mad pursuit that the hem of the only garment with one exception that I was wearing at the time began to fray out. On the third lap we plunged heavily over the baby’s crib in the nursery, and my wife covered up her head in the bed clothes and screamed, and the dog took after both of us, and there was trouble all around. * * On the next round tbe burglar gained a trifle on me, and when he reached the kitchen he unbolted the back door and dashed out into the night, with a piercing wail, and I after him. We tore around the house tvrios and then down the sidewalk to tbe next house, where the burglar made a break for (he barn in the rear. I found him cowering in one corner of a box stall, with hands upraised, and as i stood over him with leveled revolver the rays of my trusty dark lantern revealed a hired girl, wearing a wild, hunted look and a dun colored robe de nuit made pf outing flannel, ’’That was a}l. Silently and with bowed, uncovered'heads the girl and I walked back home, where tbe family awaited us, and after she had explained in a fatigued way that, hearing the racket ^had kicked op, she had started dovira stairs, and peeing me prowling around the front hall had mistaken me for a burglar, we went to bed again, and my’wife felt greatly relieved. The next morning wbeq I went down, town I saw my next door neighbor looking curiously at the irregular splotches in pis driveway, where the hired girl’s pink toes had dng into the gravel, but I did not fee} called upon, to ejyjlaiq to foim,‘•—Grand JEtapids Democrat,

I THAT "TOO, TOO SOLID FLESH.* Vtt or Ho VM la aa Aatltek Di4 PiWmiloaalty Ditcmund. Speaking in a paper on the • abject of the various diet cures for fatness, the eminent authority, Or. Andrew? Wilson, says; Doubtless starches and sugars, represented in such vegetable foods as bread, rice, tapioca and the like, are fat form, era. Tbs living body has thus a power of making fat out of that which is not fat. And along with this point is another—that fat itself does rot go, dir rectly at least, to make fat in the body. Fat is, on the other hand, i valuable addition to the die$ of a corpulent person because it has a power properly adr ministered of burning off food excess. In more than one system of body redaction fat is, therefore, administered as an essential part and parcel cf the diet care. It is said that when tit, starches and sugars are all cut off redaction of weight takes place mnch I aster than when fat is allowed in the diotary scale. This may be so, bat I strongly question the wisdom of the proceeding. All we know about fat points to it as an absolutely essential element of our food. We can’t live healthily without it, and if decrease in weight rapidly follows its elimination fro n the diet the yery rapidity of the reduction is an argument against its safety. Besides, starch and sugar largely omitted from the food, with a moderate quantity of fat allowed and a slight increase of the flesh foods, will accomplish all that is needed more gradually, but I also bold more safely for the patient. , The lesson of physiology, therefore, to us all is: Don’t neglect the fats of the food. They assist the acsimilatiod of other foods and are essential for the body’s nutrition. I should not believe in any system of ordinary diet or of weight reduction which neglected fat on the one band or insisted that its absence was essential for the cure of corpulence on tbe other.—-New York Times.

South American Polltsnem. It rather staggers the North American traveler in Pern to see the prettily uniformed young women collecting fares on the street railways, but when he visits the second city in Mexico, Guadalajara. and witnesses the refined courtesies practiced by the male conductors on the street cars there ha is completely paralyzed. The manners of the Guac alajaran are in keeping with the cheerfulness and friendliness of this city. Imagine yourself entering a street car in New York or any city in the United States and before taking your seat bowing, bat in hand, to your fellow passer gers, none of whom yon have ever seen before. Then suppose yourself arrived at your destination. Yon rise* smile a friendly farewell to the car in general, shake hands with the conductor, and with a polite inclination of tbo head take leave of the driver. The number of times I have witnessed such exhibitions of politeness convince me that it is one of the customs of the country.—New York Journal. Description of a Tillage Choir. Dr. “Westminster” Bridge, at the end of a musical lecture in London, gave an account of his experiences of a village choir in Suffolk. The local talent was thus described: “A few boys who scared rooks, a blacksmith whose tenor voice was as metallic in sound as his anvil, a boy alto who bad in his youth, it was reported, swallowed a whistle, which apparently had lodged in his larynx and helped to produce sounds of a most unearthly character, and a miller who had five low notes, and only five, which had always to fit into the chauft or hymn being sung and which made a sort of rumbling accompaniment, not unlike the sound of his own millstones. The rook boys came and went, though the miller sang on forever.”—London TitBits.

Chief Quana.1 Parker. Chief Qnanal Parker of the Comanche Indians possesses some odd traits of character. He occupies, with his five wives, a handsome honse of 30 rooms near the reservation, and whenever he leases for a journey he tprns his wives ont of doors because they “have no more sense than to let the house take fire and burn down in his absence.” Qnanal is 43 years old, very rich and inclined to adopt the waysof civilisation to the extent of wearing its cloths, driving a team of fast horses anc'l serving on bis table the best that the market affords. —New York World. Railroad Dancers. When the Liverpool and Manchester steam railroad was projected, all sorts of objections were made. “The smoke would kill all the birds.” “The sparks would set the houses on fire.” “Passengers could not breathe in a train moving so rapidly.” “The railroad would kill all the game,” “Thousands of coachmen would be thrown opt of employment.” “The English spirit of independence would be totally destroyed. ”-*rSt. Louis Globe-Democrat, It Depended. *‘I don’t see your husband with you 80 much as when you were in your honeymoon,” said the clergyman as he met, p occasional attend pat at his church. *>Has he grown cocl?” “Not if what yon preach be trpe,” phe said coyly.
