6 Prosperity Por Him Now.
The pickpocket stood on the corner
looking very disconsolate. His coat col-
lar was turned up, his hands were thrust
down into his ptokets, and his hat was
raid forward until the rim wasalmost
level with his ' eyes. Silverstein, the
puller in at the clothing store two doors
from the corner, having held up in vain
two sailors and a one armed soldier, left
his post to inquire the cause of the pick-
pocket's woe.
"What's the matter, Hoot?" he asked.
Donegan, the pickpocket, known on
the row as Hoot, glanced up at Silver-
stein, grunted out an oath, and then
letting. Ms head fall on his breast again
relapsed into silence.'
"What is it, Hoot?"
Silver tells was growing curious. He
bad don, light fingered work for a time
himself and knew something of the
abauging conditions of a man's life
when he made himself an offensive en-
emy of society. `
"See that, Jew?" said the pickpocket,
hauling a scarfpin from his vest pcfpket. l
It was a short gold pin, topped with
et huge pearl of that rare virgin pink.
It seemed to be a valuable bit, and Sil-
verstein's eyes glistened as he looked at
3t. it
"Take it to Cooney," he said in a
-whisper. "He's safe."
The pickpocket laughed in hollow
fashion. "Too safe," he said. Then he
etraightened up, threw his hat back on
his head and said
"Silverstein, in these days a man like
me ain't got no license to live. What's
the skill of my hand, that can take most
anything from a screw stud to a scarf
pin from a elan without his knowing. it,
against the brain of a man that can
.make them things?"
"Are yon nutty, Hoot?" inquired the
puller in, edging away.
"No, Jew, no; but listen to me. Yon
know the hotels are my graft and this
regiondown here my market. Well, I
was out spotting today, and finally
r _ along comes a feller that I sized up fer
my meat. He was a dressy guy, with
all color ribbons on his hat, and' them-
spready soles on his shoes. He bad a big
pfnk necktie on, and in it this here pin
was stuck. ` From the size of his chain,
I said to myself that the punkin on the
end of it must be a bird, but when I see
that pink pearl I. decided to let the
watch go and make for that.
"Well, be was a nervous cuss, and I
couldn't get a chance at him fer a ong
time. I followed him up Broadwayad
laid for him outside a restaurant w ile
he took lunch. Then he met a lady, and
they took more lunch together. When
he came out, the two took a hansom,
and I. hear him , say to the driver,
'Around the park.' Well, I follow! the
hansom to the park, and, seeing which
entrance it goes in, lay around the cir
ole for it to com-out again. Two hours
I waited there, Jew, and then I seekthe
hansom and rens off two pounds a ol-
%lowing it down town. .My man, ho le vets
the lady at a house, then drives to the
-corner of Broadway and starts walling
down slowly. .Now, .says I to myself,
`I've got him.' But I didn't get hi.m.
He meets a friend, and they go and Way
-- billiards fer two mdre hours. Well, I
was busting, I was so mad, but I made
up my mind to stick. I see a dozen juicy
-chances go by, but I couldn't leave hat
pink pearl. My eyes watered at think-
ing of it and my fingers itched fo it.
By and by my man comes out, and he
and his friend go in a saloon, on of
them places where you stand .up at . a
sideboard. I followed and just as
my man lifts a glass up to_ drink I
posh against his' friend. The �fri -nd
pushes against him, and he turns aro- d.
I was waiting, -of course, and next iin-
ute the pearl was mule. It was a ling
chance, Jew, but you -4know a feller'll
take them once in awhile. When the
guyturns around, Iwas chewing a sand-
wish ° from the counter and bawling to
the waiter for a check.
. " Well, the guy misses the pin. D inn
me if I know whatput him on. on
know I don't mess a job like that, J w.
My heart was a -going hard, Jew, b t I
:almost falls over when I see him put his
hand -up to the tie, feel around and then,
instead of hollering -murder, poi" ce,
watch and a dozen -other things, just in
and say to his friend, 'Some sucker's got
a gold brick.' ,
"There was me with the pin in me
palmall ready td drop it in the sala on
-the counter. When he don't make a ol-
ger, though, I.snakes her back in my
pocket and intwo minutes ant on the
way down to Cooney.
"I saw easy times and no chance fer
a couple of weeks on the strength of that
pearl, Jew, and when I tossed it over to.
Cooney I said, 'Give me $2550, a quarter
value.' Cooney whistles at the pin and •
picks it np. Then he begin to look
queer. Finally he dips the pearl in a
glass of water and, picking up a knife,
Whelp me, goes a peeling off that pink
color. 'Cooney,' I yell, 'what are you
doing?' 'Fish glue,' says Cooney. And
he throws to pin back. .
"Well, if was one of them fish glue
pearls. You've seen.'em-just a bit of
glass painted over with fish gine, just
ringers for the real thing, but w rth
about 60 cents. I walks out of Coon y's
in a trance.. .Incomes over here, d I
ain't moved fer an hour. Think of it,
Jew, think of it, all day and a ong
chance fer that thingt Take it andive
it to yer gal tits next time yon go n to
Jones' woods. Whelp me, if I ever find
that guy I touched fer -that Pll pi k a
fight with him and lick him. G by.

pickpocket strolled down a sides eet

DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE.
IL Yarn Might Possibly Live to Be
Eandred and Twenty -hive Years Old. '"
In the average statistics of human life
it has been found that women live lon-
ger than men. The reason for that ap-
pears to be simple.
Up to the age of 20 to 115 the man is
undoubtedly younger and less develop-
ed thart the woman, but in the next 20
or 80 years of bis life the man ages
much mo rapidly, because apart from
.the atrai and hardship of a profession,
, the to unhealthful climates,
the disappointments of fortune, he of-
ten leads a life of dissipation. and .ex-
cess which: early puts its stamp upon
his forehead and tarns his hair gray be-
fore its time. The woman, on the other
band, who has often more than her
share of anxieties, has, apart from the
many accidents of Iife, but one serious
and inevitable danger, that of the per-
petuation of her race, which,. safely
:passed, renovates rather than ages and
increases a woman's chance of longev-
ity.
From the few facts that I have ven-
tured to put together we may deduce, I
think, the following conclusions, which,
I trust, may be found of some interest
by those who desire , to have a general
view of the expectation of life, its real
duration and the possible causes of its
length and brevity.
First. That, according to the best
authorities' of the last oentury, the ex-
treme limit of life might be 125 years
under extraordinary and almost abnor-
mal circumstances.
Second. -.--That the anticipation of life
is roughly five timed the time that the
organs of the body -not counting the
brain, which develops later -require to
attain their full and absolute maturity.
This, of course, varies not only in raoes,
but in individuals, some developing
early and some much later, even in the
same climate and ill the same family.
Third. -That• rarely, if ever, is that
full duration achieved, owing to dis-
ease, food, heredity, bad habits, wear
and tear and many other Canoes which
shorten life.
Fourth. -The slower the development
the longer may be the duration of life.
• Fifth. -That all human'beings are
not born with the capacity for long life
even under the most favorable circum-
stances. As the organism of :the human
being is more complex than that of the
lower animals, `so his anticipation of
life is far more variable.
Sixth. That those circumstances
which conduce to longevity are un-
doubtedly late development, frugal hab-
its, moderation, exemption from vicissi-
tudes of climate and extreme of heat or
cold, from mental worry and agitation,
temperature in eating and drinking,
with a fair amount of brain work when
the brain is ready to undertake it.
We have all heard the well worn ax-
iom attributed to the Psalmist that the
"days of man are threescore and ten,"
but in Genesis vi, 8, will be found the
following passage, " Yet his days shall
be an hundred and twenty yearn."
This, passage seems to have been over-
looked, as I have rarely seen it quoted,
although curiously enough it exactly
corresponds to the theory that man
should attain five times the period of
reaching bis maturity.--Nineteent
Century.
Hubby's Good Qualities. '
The curate was making a call on a
humble member of his flock, when the
good woman. in course of conversation,
very mach extolled the virtues of her
absent husband and finished up by say-
ing,
aying, "And he is such a good man too."
"Ili what way?" asked the ourate.
"Why, sir," she said, "he always
says his prayers every night of his life
--drums or sober be never misses
that. "--London Telegraph.
