She was therefore dieposed, to be eon.- fidential, and with very slight enettur- &gement told Ce•prian all about that sad time at Schoenesthal, how her nais- tress had nursed her through a fe,ver, awl how the sweetest child that ever lived had. been drowned through that horrid French girl's carelessnese, "It's all very well to boast of julep- ing into the river to sa,ve the dailinge" exclaimed Martha ; "but why did she go and take the precious pet into a dan- gerous plaee ? la hen I had told her, I could see danger beforehand. didn't want to be told that a hill was steep, or that grass was.elippery.

I "Yes, she is very low-spirited," ans- , leered Gilbert, carelessly: "still fret - king for the little girl. I thought it would cheer her to have people about h p en her dwelling too much upon that unfortunate event. But I really think she gets worse. It's rather hard upan. me. I didn't marry to be miserable." "Have you had a medical opinion about her ?" asked Lord Clanyarde, ens - "Oh, yes, she has her own doctor, The little old man who used to attend her at Marchbrook.

Tito aletitods ;Exposed in Pourt-A. Lid of society Pilferers Kept. and Throiteil it Their husbands and nein lives Are Fleeced. A. magnificently dressed woman, bearing upon her features evidenees of gentle birth, culture and refineraent, was arraigned the other day in the police collet of West Heanpstea,d, Lon- don, Englartd, charged with stealing several thousand dollars' erorth of jew- airy and gold and silver ornaments un- der circumstances that are unique in the records of criminology. But more remarke,ble still was the ad- dress made by the police court justice, whicb. revealed the means to waich prominent London merehants resort to have made good, even matey timesaver, the value of geode stolen by taeir aris- tocratic eustozners, whomt they are pleased to term. kleptomaniacs, The woman, who called herself ItIre. Itliatlie Howard, showed. the court se- eurities which proved that she had an income of $10,000 a yeas. She had for some time attracted the attention of private detectivee and. of the police by her presence at a, number oe weddings of persons with whom she was not ae- quainteth RICH, DUI' A THIEF. Very luxuriously gowned and bejew- elled, and bearing himself with every appearance •of a person who snoved in the best Louden society, Mrs. Howard did not confine herself to looking at the bride and bridegroom. She follow- ed the proeession from the church and eutered the house waere the wedding breakfast or reception was to take place, profiting by the occasion, to lay her hands upon the most valuable and easily portable of the wedding: presents or ornameuts worn by the guests. 'When jewels were not readily acces- sible she appropriatea toilet articles suet' as a daintily trimmed hat or bon- net, a valuable lace fan or an umbrella mounted with jewele. She never lacked the taste to visit the nuptials of persons of the middle class wnere there was notaing worth stealing, RICH BOOTY AT A WEDDING. The other day she invited. herself to attend the wedding of a young woman whose parents live in the 'West End, and she was teresent without any right at the luncation whieh followed the eeremuny. Tilers she secured possession of three (Haunted pins which the dow- ager Countess et alaimesbury had left on the mantelpiece after withdra,wing there. from her hat. She also capturea a tiara worth $5,000 belonging tit Lady William Beresforu. The parents of the bride secretly called iu the services of the peace without inforadog their guests,.and the tuneheon teranzated on the arrival of twu agents from the Cen- tral Offices, who at once began to ques- tion the persons present eoncerning their identity. They finally arrested Mrs. Minnie Howard. Since her arrest complaints against her have multiplied daily, for everybody who has had anythbag stolen at a wed- ding for the last year has appeared to identify her as one of the guests and to lodge an additional conaplaint accord- inglYt in court the lawyer for the defence naturally entered the plea of klepto- mania. And the Judge adjourned the case in order to make FURTHER INQUIRY Into the antecedents of thle prisoner. He also wished to leare, he said, wheth- er Mrs. Minnie Howard's name was on the list of kleptomaniacs in the pos- sessien of the police ox whether she flugred on that kept by the great Lon- don raerchants. The prisoner's name must surely be upon one or the other, he added, if the plea of her lawyer was to be accepted. As even the law- yers e.bout the court appeared to be in ignorauce of the "shopkeepers' list," the Magistrate explained at some length the methods that London merchants employ to protect themselves from the light-handetiness of some of their most wealthy and aristocratic customers, ttihoeureby making a remarkable revela- Merchants as a general thing do not seek police intervention in their af- fairs; they usually prefer to arrange with the famines of their customers, who have been caught taking goods without payment. They send for the husban.d of their aristouratic but thiev inyustomer and say to him: our wife has suffered from momen- tary insanity. Sins has acknowledged it Lo us with tears. She was caught stealing; a piece of lace valued at $400. We believe that she obeyed an irresti- ble impulse to do this, and we have riot for the ro.oment entertained the idea, of making a complaint to the police. But we have reasons for- believing that this is not her first offense. However, we make no claims upon you. But if in the future we find that anything has disappeared Utile. our store after a visit from your wife, we give you this warning that we shall expect you to reimbwrse us for losses whicia may be attributect to her." Immediately after the visit of the husband the inerchant sends out the following circular to his confreres in trade: CIRCULAR Or WARNING. "Mrs. X--, our custome,r, is a, klep- tomaniac. We forewarn you in case she may pay a visit to your store. The woman's hest/and lives in such aad such a street at such and such a num- These lists contain sometimes as many as 800 names. None but the naraes of wealthy women and those of only a few men appear, When the merchant discovers that anything of value has been stolen from his store he finds out from his floor -walkers or recalls frona personal observation the names of his kleptomaniac oustortiers who have visited him during the day, and he sends to their husbands, guar.. diens or relatives a letter which reads about as follows: "This evening in shutting up our shops we were astonished, to note the disappearance of such and such an ob- ject, the value of which is so and so. We shall lee obliged to make a neore thorough search if Mrs. X, who hon- ored us with a visit to -day did not take it away with her by mistake. In which ease we beg you to return it to us or remit us the price at your earliest con- venience," Thus the merchants, far from toeing a penny by the acts of kleptomaniacs, gam by the scheme. Often it happens that a kleptomaniac has stolen noth- ing, but cannot exactly recall whether she har,s or not. At any rate her hus- band is not dispeeed to run the risk of publioity by making an absolute de- nial and he pays up. A single object has disappeared, but the merchant re- ceives the value of it ten times over from ate many persona each of whom believes a relative may have taken it, who cannot deny the theft. If Mrs. Minnie Howar,j is a klepto- maniac her ;specialty is a form Mem" sistent with the mania. But in believ- ing heat to be guilty, one cannot but adznire the originality of her idea,. She had chosen the only field for her op- eratione whath was not under t be sur- veillanen of the police.

A NOVEL TELESCOPE, .••••••• It Enabfee the Observer to See Over a Wale or From Rebind a Tree. Great interest was manifested at the recent meeting of the British Royal In- stitution in the new field glasses and stereceteleseopes shown by the ZEVISS vvorks at Jene. Thisse instruments pos- sess remarkable features different front anything previously known. 'The Oa- jeets sought in their design are (I), to obtain a considerably larger field than that posseseed by au opera glass of similar znagnifying power without the use of ordinary teleseople eyepieees. and (2) to enhance the stereoseonic effeet of the images seen through the teleeeopee by placing the object glasses of the binocular farther apart than the inter- ocular dista,nee of the eyes, er that of the eyepieces. Two types of glasses are made—field glasses with magnifying powers from four to eight diatnetere, and stereo -binocular telescopes, with powers of eight to ten diameters. In the steree-binoeular telescope the °Neel: glasses ean be moved through a wide range. They e.an be put so tar apart sideways that it is possible to stand behind a good-sized tree, with a glass at each side of it:, the observer being thus bidden while he clearly eees all before him. Also, it is posSiblo 30 put the two object glasses close togeth- er and. look over a wall which is high- er than tht. observer himself. The value of this arrangement in military mat- ters is too obvious to need mention. It is the realization of the Irishman's ideal of seeing around. the center. A theilter glass made on this prineiplo would be much appreciated when large hats are in fashion with ladies. As is well known, the eimplest and most efficient type of telescope is the astronomical, winch has an achrovaatio object glass at one end. to bring the rays to forms, and an eye lens at the other end through whites to view the aerial image thus formed. It has, how- ever, the disadvantage of showing ob- jects inverted, whieh does not matter for stars. Now let us suppose such a telescope tube bent twice at right ang- les. Evidently it could not be seen through unless by the use of admit's, or prisms, in the angles, but with their aid. It would be possible to see over a wall or around. a corner. 'With two such tubes, it would be possible to get a very pronounced steroseopie effect. This, in a very rough fashion, describes the Zeiss telescope. Immediately behind the object glass, which is at the side— not the end—of the tube, is a right- angled prism, frona the hypothenuse of which the rays are totally reflected dowu the tube. At the bottom of the tube is another prism, through the hype. otbenuse of which the rays pass to be twice totally refieeted Irma its other two sides, and turned back parallel to themselves. They. are, however, het- raediately passed trite a third prism, in which they are bent at right angles, and delivered into the eye tube, In the field glass the arrangement is somewhat different. There are practically two tubes side by side, with the object glass at the end. of one and the eye glass at the end of the other. The rays go down the first tube, up the second, and by this arrangement a fairly long tele- scope is compressed into the dimensions of a field glass. Further in the pas- sage through the prisms the image is erected, and thus the usual erecting lenses in the eyepiece are not necessary. The rays undergo four successive reflec- tions at the surface of the prisms, and emerge from the last prisra with undi- raireshed Intensity. The mechanical and optical details of the instruments are exceedingly well worked. out. Each tube oan be focused separately, and such is the depth, of focus that the adjustraent does not need ever to be altered except for very near objects. The interocular distance is cap- able of adjustraent, and the owner can mark the point that suits hiniself by a spring catch, which, however, does not prevent other persons setting the tube to suit themselves. The tubes can always be retuxned to the old position without lookingthrough them. Those glasses are not intended for use at the theater.
