The Story of a Pocket Book and How it
Was Lost and Found. ' .
- ' One of the funniest scenes that baa
happened on the Middle street dock
where fanny scenes are of, occurrence,
took place Friday, i Of coarse, negroes
were the principal actors, and the affair
showed that they will go to more tronble
to earn a nickel or dime than a white
man will. ; "
. . An old womanwaa buying flah from a
boat and In tome way the pane she held
. In hei hand fell In the water, Bhe im
mediately set np a big fuss crying her
self almost Into hysterics over the lost.
The woman sail the parse contained all
- the money she had and that she would
hare to go to - the'poor house or some
, other equally undesirable place. .
Bhe enumerated the pieces of cash In
th 3 pocket book and It all amounted to
. leuor five dollars. Bhe. offered a big
- ' reward to any one who would go down
in the depths and recover the lost
wealthif "v ''-i 5 . -;
At the mention of the Toward there
were a lot of boys, some pretty big boys
offered their services. 8even or eight
fellows appeared la swimming apparel
' and went into the river which was seven
or eight feet d p aad after considerable
swimming and diving the purse was
, ' found. ' The beloved pocket book ; was

The stolen bicycle mentioned In these
eolumns as being found at Bayboro Thus
day, was brought to this city and deliv
ered to Preston Blake, the rightful own
er of It. The thief who stole it Is also In
the strong hand of the law.
Friday a very meager description of
the thief, who gave his name as Willie
Clayton, was received by phone from,
Bayboro, and It was , Intimated that he
might be a passenger to this elty on the
incoming steamer Flora Temple..
- A warrant was taken out and placed
In the hands of Deputy sheriff , Blchard
Blackledge, and that Vigilant and hawk
eyed officer watched until a late hour
for the boat, but it came not.
At an early hour yesterday morning
the watchful officer was again at the
dock, and as Hght appeared he discover,
ed a negro man asleep on the wharf.
A close examination of the sleeping
negro's countenance Justified his arrest
He was taken before Justice S B Btreet,
and there confessed to the theft,
I,, ivvvg-
nlzed the owner of the wheel,
and told
all about It - v- . '
The prisoner stated that he hailed
from Maryland, and that It was not his
first offense by many, that he had served
a term In jail, another In the work house
and that he had been shot at frequently
during his escapades.: ft was sent to
jail to await the next term of court.

Tho first record concerning mirrors
datea back to tbe days of the venerable
Moses, anoTthey were 'mad? of brass.
When the Spaniards landed in South
America they found mirrors of polished
black stone in use among the natives.
In the fifteenth century the first glass
mirrors were mndo In Germany by a
blowpipe, and were convex- The first
manufactory of glass mirrors for sale
was. established in Venice early in the
sixteenth century. " In the reign of
James I. men, women and childre n
wore looking glasses publicly, the mica
as brooches or ornaments in their hats
and the -women at their girdles or on

- BURGLARS . OPERATING.
Two Unsuccessful Attempts to Rob
. Bouses Friday Might la Hew
: , ' Bern. . ;
Kanan Farhato Is a Syrian merchant,
who has a small buatneas place on Broad
street, and dwells la the rear of the shop
Sanaa Is a married man, that Is he ha a
wife bat no children, and the worthy
couple, like most Orientals of humble
caste, require but little space In which
to exist The room they occupy for
sleep lng,ui an unpretentious but very tidy
little affair of about eight by ten, having
one small:, half-docsa paned ' window
high? urn 'the waH,. looking ' to the
west. , - .-- V ' yi; -r:
Ob the outside, below the window is a
brick wall four or fire feet high, to a
man standing on this wall the sill of the
window mentioned would be about breast
high, ! i...tssi -j--- .-.
Farhate and ; hla companion, being
strangers In a strange land, - as It were,
are very careful to fasten the entrances
to their domlolle, and Friday bight saw
that everything, the window, which Is a
small glass affair without shutter inclu
ded, was fast and secure and retired to
their rest' i'
Along In the night, Kenan's slumbeis
were broken by an unusual noise and
looking up beheld the head and' should
ers of a person outlined in the frame of
the window. ' -
The unterrlfled Syrian sprang up to
thejopenlng and grabbed the Intruder,
bat his hold was insufficient, the burglar
with a howl fell off the wall on which he
was standing, and escaped. - '
c Upon examining It was found that two
panes had been removed, with the aid of
a knife from the window,; admitting the
hand which undid the fastening from
the Inside. - - ''WS- '
It was an unusually bold attempt and
the thief evidently Intended to resort
to desperate measures to effect his pur.
pose. .: --.Kit '
The same night of the above occur
rence, about one o'clock, a member of
the Kafer family who reside at the bak
ery on Middle street, was awakened by a
noise coming apparently ' from the din
ing room. '' - - ' -' '? '''
j The noise, which sounded at if spoons
were being handled was investlgated.but
r' o one was seen. sN-rj-, s
After the person returned to the room
a noise was heard In thebaek yard, and
looting out a man' was seen vaulting
over the fencfc':;;;;,n?-r.:.j
: The man was supposed to have hid
when he found , that thej noise had be
trayed him, and made his escape as soon
as the searching person retired from thertrick.. He told the Brahman to put his
dining room. Nothing was missed, only
the door was found to be open. .. s j.

8peclal to Journal. , ' '
New Tork, August 81. Again It Is no
race, tbe wind falling and not giving
the great racing yachts time to finish the
final race, to complete tbe aeries neces
sary to determine the champion and give
the Cup to the winner.
At start, there was a delay In order to
change the starting point
Tho weather was eloady end thick, the
wind 19 miles and the. sea very rough.
It was nearly noon when tbe start was
made, the Reliance at onoe taking the
wlndwaid position, both boats pitched
heavily In the rough seas, and progress
is slow, but the Reliance seemed to
stand the sea's buffetlngs the ' best, and
steadily increased her lead.
Within the first hour the wind fell off.
but the American boat out pointed and
out footed her rival, the wind falling to
five miles, when the outer mark was
reached, the Reliance leading about two
miles, the time being 3 0 clock.-
On the run home the Reliance in
creased her lead, but with the wind
Hght, it was Impossible to finish within
the time limit, and the race was declared
off and will be sailed tomorrow.
SAVED HIS FINGER.
Thu Faithful Brahman Felt, How
ever, That lie Had Lost Caate.
One day a Brahman accidentally
touched some unclean object with bis
.ttle finger. The Brahman thought that
tow, his little finger having become ua
:lean, any substance which It would
touch would be also rendered unclean
ind thus make him an unclean man.
Seeing no other way to get out of the
icrnpe he resolved to get tbe offending
member amputated. Forthwith be went
to a carpenter and explained to him
that unless the finger was cut off be
the Brahman) was unable to take food,
rhe carpenter tried to dissuade the
devotee and urged that an application
it some drops of water from the sa
cred river Gunga would mako the An
te? once more holy, h.ut the Brahman
persisted. He said that the' finger was
of no use to him any longer and that
be would not rest until it was severed.
As a final recourse the carpenter re-
solved to play bis awkward customer a
Onger on an anvil and to look to the
iky while the wound was Inflicted,
the Brahman did so... The carpenter
took up a hatchet and gave the finger
S smart blow with the back of It This
elicited a cry of pain from the pa
tient, who at once put the finger In his
mouth to allay the agony. Tbe carpen
ter, laughing, explained to the Brah
man that the blow bad missed and the
little finger was still entire; and, worst
it all, the Brahman had defiled himself
by putting the finger Into his mouth.
The obliging operator, moreover, offer
ed to perform the operation once more,
but the Brahman had bad enough pain
for the nonce and declined with thanks.

What is the history of the mustache?
In -Greece and Rome no mustaches
were worn without beards, but in the
sonqnerlng days of tbe Roman empire
several half civilized races who had
come partially under;: the' influence of
tho Romans and who wished to be rid
f the name of bnrbarl, or wearers of
beards, attempted to shave in imitation
of their conquerors;-but, as they had
very Imperfect implements for tbe pur
pose and as the upper'llp-is notoriously
the hardest part of the face to shave in
the case of any one poorly skilled In the
krt, they were unable to make a clean
ob of H and left a quantity of hair on
the upper Up. 1 ' v.
' This mark was characteristic of sev
eral nations on the confines of Roman
civilization, of the Gauls in particular,
of the Daclens and some others. The
Latin language has no word for mus
tache. ' This barbarous accident was
unworthy of the honor of a Roman

The Dinner Hoar.
. It Is a curious fact that with almost
ivery generation the dinner hour has
undergone a change, the principal meal
f the day being eaten at different pe
riods, from 10 o'clock In the morning
until 10 o'clock, at night. The author
at "The Pleasures of tho Table".polnts
out that in England 400 or 600 years
ago people took 'four meals breakfast
m-. dinner at 10, supper at 4 and liv-
sry at 8. ' In France In the thirteenth
century 0 In the morning was the din
ner hour; Henry VII. dined at 11. In
Cromwell's time 1 o'clock bad come to
be the fashionable hour and In Addi
son's day 2 o'clock, which "gradually
was transformed Into 4. - Pope' found
fault with Lady Suffolk for dining so
late as 4. Four and 3 continued to be the
popular dining hours among' the aris
tocracy until tbe second decade of- the
nineteenth century, when dinner was
further postponed, from which period
it has steadily continued to encroach
upon the evening. , :

of life the haturar function of feeding

Jaws, tongue and lips with all the need

to do, and we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
Instinct by sucking their thumbs, fin
gers or any convenient object at hahd.
The teeth are a provision for biting
hard foods, but even before they actu
ally appear we find the child seeking
to exercise bis toothless gums on any
hard substance he can lay bold of, and
there can bo no doubt that exercise of
this kind tends to facilitate the erup
tion of the teeth, a truth indeed recog
nized universally, whether by the prim
itive mother who strings the tootU.pf

hpr infant or the up to date parent
who provides her cfctid With a bejewel

which constitute their dietary jjroi
among us moderns, subsisting, a jve
do, mainly on soft foods, affording Jbut
little exercise for the mastlcatorynp
paratus, it does not find its proper ex
pression, and thus tends to die out.
Nevertheless it dies a bard death and
long continues to assert Itself. Witness
the tendency of children to bite their
pencils and penholders. I have known
a child to gnaw through a bone pen
holder much in the same way as a
carnivorous animal gnaws at a bone.
This lntrttnct to cbew for chewlng's

In our own country not only do chil
dren bite p'opcils and penholders, but
they will cbew small pieces of India

tice of gum chewing, so common among
our American cousins, evidently comes
down from faroff Umes, for the primi

gum, attributing to them nutrient
qualities, and tbe Patagonlans are Sold
