One morning n few weeks ago a lilitlst with a large nnd lucrative prnc lee lu I'lirln. awoke to uuil.e the very disagreeable discovery that a maid whom he nml his wife had engaged Mime days hefore had tlllted, carrying away with her nil the money nnd Jew elry on which she could lay her hands, to'pjlher with gold which he used for irofont.'.omil purposes, nnd last, not Ii nit. a goodly collection of sets of false teeth belonging to or destined for dllTe.vut patients. One of these, Imleed, Is said to have been the prop erly of n former minister of world wide repulnllon, while It Is even assert ed with bntcd breath that a certnln tooth, which bnd nlso been annexed by tho girl, who Is evidently no respecter of persons, had garnished the mouth of a policeman who Is In such nn ex alted position that he acknowledges uo superior. lie that ns It may, the robbery was extremely nnuoylng, since, besides the loss of tho valuables, the worthy dent ist was placed on . the horns of a di lemma with regard to some of his most eminent patrons. The mnld had been secured by him nnd his wife at n registry olllcc, by which sho had been warmly recommended ns u young womnn of tho utmost honesty, who had recently como up fr6m tho coun try, nnd wns therefore without guile. Ho her employers Imagined that they had lighted upon a veritable treasure, ond grcnt was their disappointment nnd Indignation when they realized the extent of the dlastcr which bnd be fallen them.

WIVES AND BEATINQ8, Women niacins the Amount of Abuse 'llielr Hex rllioilld I'.ii'lnrr. "How much beating should n wife bear before sho made up her mind to leave her husband?" was ono of tho main subjects discussed today nt the women's) conference of the In-IIIs-Naiue Hoclcty In All Kouls Church, at Madison avenue and CDIh street. In tho opinion of Mrs. Louise Heymour Houghton, editor of n religious news paper, tho wire should submit rather than leave her husband to be nt the mercy of had Inlliieiipes. Mrs. Hotiglon said that, although there were lime lu tho present stulo of society when a divorce seemed ncccs nary, n higher nnd more Ideal stata would make such a thing Impossible. Hho called attention to the stormy do mestic life of the prophet llosea. In order to show lo what extent one pnrt Iter should bear with the Indiscretions nnd the sins of the other. The sentiments produced n sensation, and there was a murmur of dissent One of thosu present asked If the woman Injured hy mi Intoxicated hus band should remain with htm, Mrs. Houghton said that she had known many noble wives and mothers whose husbmids bad beaten them every Hnlur day night. The speaker said that It would be better for the family If thu Injured wife had the grnce nnd tbe strength of mind, and, above all, the love for her husband, to hold to her family relations. Mrs. nilzabeth 11. (Jninuls suggested that such treatment of a wife on thu part of n husband wns degrading to the innrrlage relation. Mrs. Houghton nn swered that one soul could not degrade another without that soul's consent She said that she hnd known tn tbe lower wnlks of life of husbands who had beaten nnd 111 treated their wires, nnd Hint, after nil, they had come around nil right: whereas. If the wives hnd left their lords and musters, tbe men might have gone- Irretrievably to the bad. "What I wish to nsk," said Mrs. Ar thur Smith, "Is, how long should a wife submit to beating before she leaves her hushnud'r" "Mrs. Houghton, If I understand her correctly," replied Mrs. Crnuuls, "said there was no limit. Now, there was John Wesley, whose wife dragged him n round the house by the hair of his head. It seems to me that It would have been more dlgiillled hnd he resented It."

A new member of Congress wns very nnxlous to get upon the good side of Su perintendent Smith of the botnnlc gar dens, so that some Mowers and potted plants might be sent to his home. As every one knows, Smith Is n lino old Scotchinnn. who worships the memory of "Hobble" Hums, and has probably the Uncut nnd iihiI complete collection of "editions of Hums' works In the world. When, therefore, the new member went to Smith he resolved lo any some thing which would please the lover of Hums. When lie entered .Smith's II brary he looked wllh Interest upon the books. "I always did love Jliumlc Hums' poems," remarked the new 'member. "I never saw such n Hue collection 'of his works. I think .Ilmmle Hums wns i of the greatest men who ever lived." At this point Mr. Smith could contain himself no further. "'Jlminlc' Hums.' ho exclaimed, angrily. "Tommy W sh Ington! Sammy Honnpnrtel (let out!" And then tbe new member realized that be bad made a mlstuke. Washing ton 1'ost. At mi Abnormal Anglo. Any one who rests bis head on n pil low and bolster while be Is sleeping Is slowly but surely committing suicide, says a French physlclun The only nat ural position for a man while sleeping Is tho horizontal oue, and the llrst thing to do lu order to accustom one's self to It Is to remove the bolster. Within a few mouths one will be nble to sleep much more calmly than ever before, nml, moreover, tho general health will bo much Improved. This statement Is not made lightly, but Is the result of long experience. Tbo next step Is to re move tho pillow, for not until then will the circulation of tbe blood be ns free as It should be. The pillow and bolster keep the head and neck at an abnormal angle, nnd consequently tho sleeper's eutlro body remains during the night In nn uncomfortable- position, and ono which Impedes tho free course of tlio blood through the vessels nnd organs.

Market lias Been Advancing and Prices Arc Firm Some idea of the magnitude of tho sales of twine may be gained from the fact that during the first nine months of the currant fis al year, the value of fiber imports into the United States was nearly (23,000,000.00. Every man in tbe Northwest who has to do with the harvesting of crops is interested in this matter. Many Mis. Kidder Tbe ideal riniauol have pursued the old time policy of phia Prosa. "waiting" for a break In the prices be-1 foro they buy their twine, but, for many reasons, tbts year prospects are that prices will remain practically un changed, and certainly not lowered, as as the fiber for this harvest's twine has been already purchased. Some of the largest houses have sold all tho twine they will be able to produce for the coming harvest, and are therefore , out of tbe market. In a few Instances , it is known in the trade that travel ing salesmen and manufacturers have cut wholesale prices In order to induce dealers to enlarga their orders for im plements, etc. But this has not been so largely done as in former years, and probably will not affect general prices at all. Prices have rarely been so firm a. at prewnt; that is to say, there has - seiuomDeenso mtie snaoing or mo aveva nl Ian kT tnafasa Tn aaanaMtfia rit LaistuiMticu l't iv-woa -a. a. c uj J b this period, manufacturers and jobbers, complained frequently of cutting by competitors. Just now no complaints: of this kind are heard. To anm up the situation there is not in the fiber prices any warrant for re ducing the quotations on twino, and it probably is the best advice that can be given to dealers generally to suggest that they do not hesitate in baying all the twino they need at the present market price. We note that the sales of btannard Twine are not nearly so heavy this year as they formerly were. This is only a repetition of all past experience, that when an an article Is gotten up to de ceive or in imitation of a better one, it Is only a question of time when it is found out and is forced down to its in trinsic value.
