H i* Profession.
Iu the midst of our tea drinking In
the little Parisian restaurant, says
Miss Betham Edwards In nil account
of "Home Life Hi France," a gcntle-
tnnuly Individual wearing a tall hat
and fro<Ji coat entered and, qfte_£ a
short colloquy with the young master,
passed out.
"Yon would never Kuess that geutlc-
ninn h errand." Marcel said, smiling,
ns lie resented himself at the tea table.
" lie looked to me like a rather dis
tinguished customer," I replied. “Home
government functionary on half pay
or an owner of bonds."
Marcel smiled again.
“That well dressisl gentleman, then,
supplies ns with toothpicks, which his
wife makes at home, lie calls ouco a
month and takes our orders. I dare
sny he and his wife between them
make from $0 to
a week and con
trive to keep up appearances on that
sum. It Is an Instance of whut one
calls 'glided poverty/ "

Faceinatfon of Burglary.
"My champion burglar." said Mr.
Holmes, the police court missionary.
“Is u bookbinder by truire. who has
been In Jail on and off for half a cen
tury.”
Mr. Holmes* ramifications with this
chronic breaker of tho law constitute
an Instructive scene from Ills work.
He Itehaved to the erring bookbinder
quite us a brother; the umu had the

friendship of the family. How was he
In the habit Of repay lug this hospitali
ty? By going out to burgle. Twice
Mr. Holmes set him up, but lu vain.
The only charm that life has for this
extraordinary being is the opportuni
ties it vouchsafes for committing bur-
glury.
"Why on earth don’t you leave off
burglary?" Mr. Holmes asked him
once. "Mr. Holmes," was his reply,
"there’s no fascination lu the world to
equal It. The silence of the night, the
element of danger, the need of keeping
every sense on the alert— It’s grand.”—

It Is snld that a Ilea leaps 200 times
Its height, and. while It usually does
land on Its feet. It often falls, especial
ly when It fulls on a perfectly smooth
surface where tho claws cun get only
n slight hold.
A flea has six legs,
whose great length and hulk make
them so heavy that they must lie a
great help In keeping their owner right
side up when It makes one of these
gigantic Jumps, nml when It lands up
side down or In some other way Its
ability to kick Is so great that not
more than one wriggle Is needed to
set things right. A flea’s wings are
mere »< ;;ies and of no use: hut, small
and worthless ns they are. they tell
the entomologist something about the
proper classification of the insect. To
the Ilea Itself they hove no value.

In the "danger area" the severest
discipline Is maintained All entrances
are carefully guarded by searchers,
who rigorously examine every indi
vidual that desires to enter, relieving
him of any metallic objects that may
lie carried upon his person, together
with matches and other suspicious ob
jects which upon coming Into contact
with the dangerous chemicals used In
this zone might provoke serious trou
ble. No matter how often an employee
engaged within the hill may pass In
and out, every time he enters he must
submit to this preliminary nnd essen
tial operation. There are also some
500 girls employed, and these are un
der the charge of matrons Ilalrplns,
ordinary pins, shoe buttons, metal pegs
within the soles of the shoes, knitting
and o^her needles are all religiously
barred. Their hair is tied with braid
or ribbon. and. as with the male em
ployees. every time they enter the
“danger area" they are similarly
searched by the matrons. — Scientific
American.
