BURGLAR TRAPS.
Mr. Reuben Goldsmid was a prosperous man. He had a dingy little office in Hatton Oarden, the chief furniture of which consisted of two. huge safes, which always contained enough diamonds, polished and in the rough, to adorn a court.
Mr. Reuben Goldsinld had very little to trouble him, but even the most peaceful lives have their period of unrest, and trouble came to Mr. Goldsmld in the shape of a kindly circular from Scotland Yard,
It warned him that the enterprising burglar was on the warpath in the London suburbs, and that detached bouses "standlng In their own grounds" were specially liable to his attack.
As he went to town that day his attention was attracted by the talk of two of his fellow travelers. "Fearful business, this burglary at the Bulgarian embassador's," said the stout man. "Where are the police?" "That's just what I want to know," said the tall man "In my country If a chop goes burgling in a city, why, tho police run him to earth pretty quick, and if he trios that game on in tho country you 'f bet he soon has the regulators on his track and finds himself strung up to a telegraph polo." "All very well talking," said the stout man gruffly. "I've heard of American burglaries before this." "Seo here," said the tall man, "an
American burglar has a lot to do before ho gets inside a house. Your Idea here seems to be to havo locks that you can pick with a crooked nail and window catches you can open with a butter knife. I should like to rip up a house and make it safe and seo some of your clever burglars fooling around trying to And a way in."
Mr. Goldsmid could keep silence no longer. "I beg your pardon, sir," he said, "but I really should like to have a talk with you. To tell you tho truth, if you can help me to put my house in something like a tolerable state of security I shall be most grateful. I am most anxious, I assure you. Here is my card." "And hero is mine, sir. I'm happy to mako your acquaintance, Mr. Goldsmid, and I shall bo glad to help you."
Mr. Goldsmid took tho card and read, "Cyrus P. Trotter, Mechanical and Electrical Engineer, 251 West Fifteenth street, New York."
After lunch Mr. Trottor took tho diamond merchant to a half dozen shops and offices to show him various enginos of dostructlon and mcchanlcal devices which ho must purchase in order td Vflx up" tho house at Hlghgato.
Mr. Trottor was busy for nearly three days putting his appliances in position. Thon ho dined at Hlghgato and showed Mr. Goldsmid how, by merely turning a button behind tho hall door, all his apparatus was put in full working order, while by turning It back again the whol» would bo turned out of goar.
Mr. Goldsmid slopt comfortably that night and felt liko a man who is beyond the roach of tho dangers that afflict ordinary mortals.
Next day ho was callod away to Amsterdam on Important business. Ho sent a telegram to Mrs. Goldsmid telling her that If ho were not back by 6 p. m. on Tuesday eho was not to oxpoct him till tho next day.
Tuesday found him on his way homo, but it was foggy in tho channel, and it was midnight whon ho arrived.
Ho turned tho key. Ho pushod the door open, and thero was a pleasant feeling of bolng safo at home, whon as his foot crossed tho familiar threshold ho hoard somewhere tho jingling sound of an oloo trio boll. Then thero was a whirring noise of clockwork half way up tho stairs In front of him, and ho had barely tlmo to remombor all that Mr. Cyrus F. Trotter had dono Iteforo his departure whon from the stair eatno a long bright flash, a ringing report and a whistling ball.
Gr-r-rl wont tho clockwork. Then In another second flash! bang whiz I crash I and a shower of splinters flow from tho door ho had just opened, and poor Mr. Goldsmid realized that tho "domostio GatUng" had col no Into action.
Ho dashed wildly luto a mass of shrubs. Suddenly there was a sharp snap. Ho felt a stroke below his knee which nearly broko his leg. Ho was safe in tho iron grip of tho boar trap!
After what seemed an ago ho hoard a pollco whistle. "Hollo, theroI" said a gruff voioo "What's tho matter?" "Burglars—a whole gang of thorn I'' And ho recognized the well known voico of his trusty manservant Hlggins. "But tho American hautermntle happoratusses that master fitted up before ho went away frightened them all off.''
Mr. Goldsmid ventured Co call out. "Higglnsl" ho shouted, but ho was short of breath The two policemen drew their staves and dashed into tho shrubbery
Snap went bear trap No. 8. "Hang it!" shouted policeman 5o. 978 as ho rolled over.
His comrndo was stooping over Mr. Goldsmid, flashing his bullseyoln his face. "Help mo up," said Mr. Goldsmid. "I'm caught in a trap. Call Hlggins here Get mo out of this, I say-"
By this tlmo Hlggins had mustered up oourago to advance Into the slyubbery. With some difficulty tho two captives were liberated from tho bear traps, and Mr. Goldsmid was not to bo seen at Hatton Garden for two days after his adventure.
Mr. Cyrus Trotter called on him In high glee tho very day he reappeared at his oftloo. "I reckon," he said. "my fortune's made. Why, tho apparatus fitted splendidly. It's got into all the papers, and I shall have no end of orders from your aristocracy and gentry." "You may tako all your "fixings' out of my place and give them to the man who wants them 1 would sooner have the burglars any day. I don't blame you, but you nearly killed me at my own door." "Well/' said Mr. Trotter solemnly, "if you don't like the fixings, why, I'll shift them, but don't blame mo next time you are burgled, that's all."—Kxchange.
Japan and the United Statm.
I A report just^ssued by the British forrlgn oflleo says: "So far as Great Britain is concerned the most disturbing feature of tho .Japanese trade of last year was tho immense .st rides made by American oompctition. The value of United States 1m-, jxirr* ruse £1,03»or St per cent while
those from Great Britain were only £333,-1 488, or 5 per cent higher than In IS96 In the latter year we held 36 per cent of tiM import trade Into Japan, Last year the proportion had fallen to 20 per cent Germany Is not making headway, tn 1890 tho value of United State* goods entering Japan was only 6,874,531 yea. Last year it had risen to 27,080,S3? yen In the MIUO space of time British imports grew from M,619,103 yen to 65,402,3*56 yen, Thus the American m» of Increase has been, roughly, fourfold, while ours has been only two and a half fold."

A FAMOUS SINGER.
':M
Colberg had a,nightingale. She was Paulein Epp. Everybody listened, and so did the birds, when she sang. And Max
Epp was very proud of his motherless child. Max Epp was a razor maker and poor. When Paulein was old enough, she became waiting maid in the inn at Colberg. A party of tourists came along. In the company was Herr Fellein of the Imperial Opera House. Landlord Cobelin, a cousin of Fellein, asked Paulein to sing for the gentlemen. Fellein was charmed. He offered to take Paulein with him and have her voice cultivated.
Paulein went away with Herr Fellein, promising to come and get her father when she became a great singer.
Working on razors, talking of Paulein and dreaming of living in luxury occupied Max Epp for the next few years.
The papers came into Colberg occasionally, and those who could read found much praise accorded Herr Fellein for having discovered anew cantatrice.
From the day of her departure Paulein wrote weekly to her "dear old papa." At first they were laboriously printed epistles. Then, as the uncouth country lass acquired Intelligence, the letters were written, but they were less frequent.
As time passed they became wonders of fine penmanship, but lessened In number and In length. They were written upon crested, perfumed noteheads, with sealed envelopes, but they came rarely. Finally the papers alone told the still doting parent that he had a daughter.
Max Epp's poverty and Illiteracy placed him low In the social scale. As a razor maker he was very obscure, but as the father of Paulein Epp, the famous opera singer, be had eminence.
The promise of his child—which he never forgot to mention—that when she became successful he should live with her had much to do with his dignified reception at tho inn In Colberg, for the landlord, who had been Instrumental In getting tho girl with Herr Fellein, thought Max Epp good for much more beer thah he could pay for.
The frequenters felt the father of the celebrated Paulein entitled to more libations than he could always handle with ease.
As time wore on about the only thing which kept Pauleln's promise alive In her old father's breast were the reiterated reminders from his bibulous associates at the Inn that he was "soon to be the great man In Frankfort and have his own oarriago and servants."
This sounded very pleasant to the old razor maker's ears, and still more so as he surrendered his sobriety to the lmportunings of his companions.
Permit this word of explanation. Paulein ceased to write to her father because Landlord Cobleln wrote his cousin, Horr Fellein, that old Max was "drinking himself to death," and Fellein read such portions of Cobleln's letters to the humiliated and grieved prima donna as appertained to her father.
Completely wrecked by the thousands of toasts he had joined in the success of his child, old Max awoke one morning to find himself penniless, deserted and in durance for a potty offenae.
When he was brought before the magis trate, not one of his former friends came to his rescue. "Are you guilty, Max Epp?" "I must be, else I'd not be here." "Becauso you are the father of Paulein Epp I dismiss you." "I should suffer punishment If I am guilty," he said, leaning over tho rail be fore tho magistrate. "Overlook nothing because of her. I havo lived among you theso 50 years. My Pauloin is no more of Colberg. She is of the world. "God gavo her a wonderful voice that sho might fly over yonder hills and out across the universe. Colberg is no rnoro to her. Bo not patient with me on her ae count. She would not praise you. She has forgotten Colberg and you and me.
I am no longer able to care for myself. 1 am old and unablo to work. 1 have no home. Sho has risen I havo fallen. She will go higher, but I cannot g»# much low er. I pray you let me be sent to tho beggary and pass my days In peaco for the little good I havo seen."
So they sent Max Epp to the almshouse. Thero he puttered about, doing odd chores, growing more feoble, more forgetful, more useloss.
One day a rich conch drew up in front of tho old Epp cottage and a dashing lady alighted. "1 want to seo papa." "Who may you be, fair lady?" asked tho occupant, a gardener named Kranz. "1 am Paulein Epp. Whore is my fa thcr?"
Tho gardener bowed humbly and pointed across tho valley to tho white building so well remembered by Paulein In her childhood and associated with horror and hopelessness—tho almshouse! "What! Tho beggary 1 My father, Max Epp. a pauper I My God I Cjuiok, driver, quick!"
When sho entered the whitewashed doorway and asked to see Max Epp. they conducted her into the low oellinged wing to the side of abed whereon lay an emaciated, white haired imbecile, swathed in homespun, toying with a brokon razor, his first love.
On her knees fell the famous vocalist, sobbing as If her heart would break. Again and again she called his name, caressed and kissed him and wept upon his sunken breast.
But the glassy eyes only glared, and a smile of sickening vacancy was all the recognition she received. The shattered old man simply gazed out the window, the hills, toward Frankfort.
Was he thinking of the elegant home she promised him? Was he picturing that gorgeous carriage he was to have ridden In and those obsequious servants who were to have attended him?
Perhaps. But he rattled the broken razor, grinned and jabbered and tried to move his paralyzed limbs, oblivious of the richly clad, elegant woman who knelt beside him and fondled him with pathetic tenderness.
That evening when the glorious nightingale stepped before the vast audience in the opera house in .Frankfort this thought flashed through her mind:

Stronger Than Oak.
Foot bridges in Morocco that are used for heavy traffic have been the subject of much concern to the engineers. Elm planks on oak striugpieces were the materials employed, but these wore out sc rapidly that a return to tbe old gtyle oi building was proposed. This consisted of cables made from the fiber of tbe aloe. These cables are plaited and twisted from fibef and are nearly two inches thick and 8£ inches wide. They are saturated with tar and firmly nailed to oak planking. The ends are fastened by iron straps. These cables make most ad mirable footpaths They are sufficiently elastic to be pleasant under the feet, and experience has demonstrated that they are far more durable than any material heretofore applied for this purpose.
Held Up.
Miss Greener—And so you were in the train that was held up by robbers Wasn't you just frightened to death?
Miss Whiting—You'll hardly believe it, but I wasn't frightened a bit. The feet is, when they came into the car and ordered us to hold up our hands, I thought it was going to be a lecture on palmistry, and I didn't find ont different until it was all over.—Boston Transcript
Frenchmen Fond of Bread.
European nations vary very greatly in their consumption of bread. The greatest flour eater in the world is the Frenchman, who consumes nearly two pounds a day, or 705 pounds a year. This enormous quantity, compared with the seeming niggardly 65 pounds a yeat eaten by the Scandinavian, marks the influence of climatic conditions on food.—St Louis Poet-Dispatch.
An English paper tells of a clergyman who had two curates, with the older of whom he wasat swords' points. On being appointed to another living be decided to cake with him the younger curate, whom be liked, and when he came to preach his farewell sermon be chose as his text, Abide ye here with tbe ass, and 1 and the lad will go yonder and worship."

An Erratic Write*.
When Thomas Bailey Aldrich was a small salaried clerk in George W Carleton's book store on Broadway, Fitz James O'Brien was in the habit of dropping in to see him, and one day came in rather more than half seas ovef. Aldrich decided to take him across the street to a hotel and put him to bed. Cautiously and carefully he led O'Brien, but before he had got half way across a friend stopped him and asked: "Why do yon want to bother with the fellow. Let him go." "I will not," replied Aldrich. "He borrowed a dollar from me a few days ago, and can't afford to let anything happen to him."
At another time/when he was not strictly sober, O'Brien found himself out of funds. He wandered into a publisher's office and asked for $25. This was refused him. Angrily seizing a placard O'Brien reversed it and made in big letters on the blank sidej "One of 's authors. I am starving*." Tying a string to the card, O'Brien placed it around his neck and paraded up and down the street, to the great amusement of a large crowd. He was of coarse requested to desist, but nothing stopped his mad course until a $5 bill was presented to him as a compromise. —San Francisco Argonaut.
The Devil Tree.
The devil, dragon or octopus tree, as it is variously called in tba different stories told of it, is one of those travel era* myths which by dint of repetition have worked their way into public be lief. The man eating or devil tree is, according to the story, a huge plant somewhat resembling a palm, save that the central fronds are provided with sharp teeth, which, when the leaves are folded over toward the center, grasp with a death grip the man or animal unfortunate enough to be inclosed with in. In some of the stories this tree is also provided with long arms, which reach oat and seize unwary travelers, raise their bodies in the air and drop them into the center of the circle of devouring leaves.
It is hardly necessary to say that there is no such tree and that the story has its origin in the dangers of traversing a tropical thicket, where travelers have received serious injuries from falling over vines and among thorny plants, where m^n are frequently attacked and killed by serpents. The devil tree is located by various story tellers in Borneo, in Sumatra and in the forest recesses of other tropical islands, and whenever inquiry is made for it it is to be found somewhere else.—St. Louis Globe-Dem-ocrat.
A Panama Hat.
"The life of a panama hat—that is, if it is a good one to start with," remarked an admirer of that style of head gear, "compares somewhat with the life of the oWner of it. One can run through either in a hurry or hang on for a long time if it is desired. If carefully kept, a panama hat should la§t all the way from 10 to 40 years, know a gentleman who resides in east Washington who has owned and steadily worn during the summer months a panama hat for nearly 40 years. It has been bleached every couple of years since and retrimmed and relined, and it is today to nil intents and purposes as good as when I first saw it 30 years ago. "I know of another panama hat, nov worn by a physician in this city, which has had almost as long a life. Long before he got it his father wore it. I know dozens of them which have been in use from 10 to 20 years. The lining wears out, but the body of the hat keeps good. Of course care has to be used to keep them such a long time, bnt the panama itself is almost indestructible. Tbe original cost of the bats that I refer to was not exorbitant, none of them costing over $14. "—Washington Star.
The English Smart Set.
To what a condition has "smart so* ciety" fallen I Any one may become a leading light in it, provided that he or she is ready to pay the footing. He or she can at any moment find a person to bid guests to their feasts and any number at guests, guaranteed to be "smart people," will accept the invitations. A year or two ago an American lady intent on fashion took a large house, and an introducer sent out her invitations. At her first party there were many of her own friends present. The introducer explained to her that the right set of people would not come if they were exposed to this promiscuity with those who were not in it. Finally it was agreed that the hostess might invite ten friends to each party, but not more.
What I have never understood is where the pleasure comes in of going to several parties the same evening. Yet there are many apparently sane persons who do this every evening during the season. At each party they probably have to wait at least half an hour before getting out of their carriage and getting back into it when they want to go away. They struggle up stairs, show themselves, stay perhaps half an hour and then hurry off to the next party. Why they should like this mode of spending their evenings no on except themselves can imagine. There is no costermonger's donkey so overworked as a woman bent on society.— London Truth.1'
Song Them to Liberty.
In Marchesi and Music, the famous singing teacher tells this anecdote to illustrate the nobility of heart of a Russian woman, one of her pupils, and a native of Nijni-Novgorod, where the great fair is held every year.
Mile. Nadine Boulitchoff created a great sensation with her beautiful voice and dramatio power, at Moscow, St. Petersburg and Madrid. In the summer of 1880 she sang at Rio Janeiro. Brazil was then the entrepot for the cruel slave trade. At her benefit, Nadine learned that she was to be presented with valuable gifts. She begged that the money, instead of being spent on her, should be used to buy the liberty of several female slaves.
Her deed of charity released seven poor slaves, one of whom had been recently whipped in publio by order of her mistress.
On the benefit night, after Nadine had sung, the seven negresses went upon the stage to thank the artiste for their freedom. The crowded house applauded for several minutes the national hymn was played the emperor, Dom Pedro, rose, and with him the whole audience, and the songstress knew a moment of thrilling joy such as seldom comes to women.
An Explanation.c
The reason for the great popularity of Hood's Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that this medicine positively cures. It is America's Greatest Medicine, and the American people have an abiding confidence in its merits. They buy and take it for simple as well as serious ailments, confident that it will do them good.

Lucid Explanation.
An Irishman walking over a plank sidewalk, in counting some money accidentally dropped a nickel, which rolled down a crack between two of the boards. The Irishman was much put out by his loss, trifling though it was, and continued on his way, swearing audibly.
Early the next day a friend, while walking by the spot, discovered the Irishman deliberately dropping a dollar down the same crack through which ho had lost his nickel. The friend was of course much astonished at what he saw, and desiring to learn why Pat should deliberately, to all appearances, throw away money inquired his reasons and was fairly taken off his feet by the following explanation: "It was this way," said Pat. "It's yesterday I was passin this way when I lost a nickel down that hole. Now, I reasoned tbot it wasn't worth mewhilo to pull up thot sidewalk for a nickel, but last night a scheme strnck me, and I am dropping down the dollar to make it worth me while."—Chicago News.

Tbe Eagle and tbe Stars and Stripes.
I should like to call attention to one of otir London churches. Little Trinity, in the Minories, though very interesting both to English and Americans, if not, I think, so generally known as it deserves. The church in question has been the burial place of the Dartmoutbs. Before tbe Washingtons left England these two families were united by marriage. On the wall of Little Trinity church may be seen the stars and stripes as the coat of arms or banner of the Dartsmouths, and the eagle as the coat of arms of the Washingtons, afterward to become the flag and the emblem of tbe great nation across the Atlantic.— Spectator.
