Burglary a Science.
' mansion rxro 1r; IMPLEMENTS AND pseu-
LIARITI ES.
aTlreapplianccs of the first-class burglars
are changed to meet almost all the changes in
preventive inventions. The hydraulic jack to
force in safe locks,the cylinder-20f compressed
oxygen and hydrogen to burn through steel,
and the other scientific as \chI as ingenious
appliances used by the bigr operators show this.
The first and simplest tool in a burgIar's out-
fit is a window knife. This isu tbin,very flex-
ible, broad-ended knife, more resembling a
paint knife than anything else. With it, in
two sccondsthe clumslcsi bu'rglnr can turn
back the simple catch so generally used to
fasten windows. The thin blade can be casi-
Iy twisted up between the two‘sushes, and a
light pressure throws the catch to one side or
the other, and leaves the window free to
open. This is as useful as it is simple, and
the wonder istbat that style of fastening is so
generally used.'Lately,' however, a new brass
catchmhich works up and down, and is fast-
ened by 'a 1.10, has been invented, and is proof
against the knife. *
Tnnxnr on wrxnow or'rcxrso,
however, makes necessary in some cases a
diamond to cut tlre‘glass. This brings into
requisition a “sucker"—a disk of wet leather
with a string tied to it, such as boys-use as a
:playtbing. :Thisis first fastened'to' the upper
pane and.tbe,cutter run around it in a circle.
When the glass is severed .it clings to the
leather and the piece is removed to the out-
side without noise or fracture of the contigu-
ousglass. Another and a simple method in
invoiding noise,utilized in breaking into stores
with thin glass windows, is to paste a large
“sheet of stout paper over the glass till it ad.
heresfirmly in every part, aud then break
the glass. The pieces cling to the paper and no
jingling noise of any kind is made, and the
window can be neatly taken out in frag-
ments. The next article in the outfit is a
skeleton key. These are as old as the inven-
tion of tumbler locks. Before that inven-
tion it needed little skill or practice, by aid of
a crooked wire, a notched knife-blade or any-
thing-else that came handy, to pick the sim-
ple looks. The new invention, however,
brought skeletons into vogue. A skeleton is
simply the simplest shape of key. The shank
is filed down thin so as to enter any lock easi-
ly, and the ward of the key is the same size as
:that of.,any,key, but consists only of a small
3’; T'shaped piece of steel or brass, as the
case. may be.- This is the simplest variety,
There are some, however,in which the words
are a trifle more. complex, which suit differ-
ent brands of locks. No respectable thief,
however, is without two or three kinds. 'Ibe
‘ next implement is a pair of nippersnr “hips,"
as the police abbreviate it, wirclr are used
when a key is turned and left in the lock.
, “NII’S”
are pairs of pinccrs which are inserted to
grasp the end or the key. The clutching por-
tion is so small as to easily enter a lock, and
when closed the end appears like a hollow
piece of steel no thicker than a key shank.
The ends are notched, however, just as apuir
of pincers are roughened, so as not to slip
when the end of the key is grasped, and as
most keys are pointed at the end, the opera-
tion of grasping it is facilitated. Some origi-
nality is displayed by thieves in getting up
these,and some years ago the work of a burg-
lar named Winter, since killed-in a fight, was
always detected by a pair of “hips" which he
used. . Instead of ,having little notches all
around the end, he had only four,equally dis-
tant from each other, and the marks on the
brass key which his instrument left were thus
always detected. The "hips” are‘ largely
used, and are very effective, the only pro-
tection against them being something that
will make the key immovable. Of these pre-
ventivcs the best is a thick bent wire, in the
shape of a hairpin that hangs dowu from the
shaft of the door-knob and passes through the
ring of the key. The commonest burglarious
nstrument is the “jimmy,” and its uses are
manifold. It is a, bar of steel, one end of
which is curved at a right angle. Sometimes
one end is sharpened to a point and sometimes
both, or one is flattened out and sharpened
like a crowbur. They are of various lengths
and weiglrts,and a well-to do burglar general-
ly has several. They subservc all the uses of
a crowbar' and drill. With them it is no trick
hi. all to force open a wooden door, breaking
the lock or twisting it out of place by main
force. It is also a very successful tool in pry-
ing open the iron door of a building or a sale.
being used in the latter case u Iron a partial
entrance has been made.
1101.135 urn LANTEIINS,
so loved by dime-novel writers, have passed
out of. date, small candles being used. This
calls to mind the fact that the work of Root
and Schacht, the champions, was always
spotted by the red candle grease which they
left behind them, their custom being to use
the small Christmas tree candles. Masks are
rarely used, and if Worn are usually of the
simplest construction, a piece of black cloth
with eye and mouth holes serving both the
purposes of disguise and terror, in case a
.sfartled individual awakcs at night to find a
ghost with a candle, a black mask and revol-
ver bending over him; With regard to skel-
etons one ingenious style, the invention of a
Sidney thief, has strangely failed into disuse.
There were a number of wards to it which
could be fitted to the shank, one ufterthe
other, a small screw in the end of the shank
holding them in_placc. The possessor could
try one after the other,and eventually unlock
any door fastened by an ordinary key. A sim.
ple bolt is the best protection for a door, that
being, in police parlance, “the only thing
that'll beat a thief." Their only means of
opening the door is to bore through and saw
around it—an operation involving much time
and trouble.
The Time Washington Laughed.
I‘One day, in Philadelphia," said Mistress
Dolly Madison, "‘1 was sitting in my parlor
with a very dear friend—Mrs. R. B. Lee,—
when in walked Payne Todd (her son) dress-
ed in my calico bed-gown. While we were
laughing at the figure he cut, the servant
threw open the door and announced Gen.
and Mrs. Washington. What: to do with
that dreadful boy I didn't know. He could
not face the President in that garb. Neither
could he leave the room without meeting
them. for the door they were entering was
the only one. I made him crawl quickly
under a low, broad settce under which I was
settin". I had just time to arrange the
drapery when the Washingtons entered.
After the courtly greetings, and the usual
compliments of the season, there came from
under the settee a heavy sigh, which evi-
dently attracted the General's notice. How.
ever, I only talked and laughed a little
louder, hoping to divert his attention, when
—oh me— there came an outcry and a kick
that could not be ignored. So I stooped down
and dragged Payne out by the leg. Gen.
Washington’s dignity left him for once.
Laugh! Why be fairly roar-ed! The sight
of that boy in that gown, all so inexpccted,
coming wrong end first from under my St at
——il. was to much."——-Lim1£ncott‘s allugazine.

to by nods and grunts. But I could not get

Now that Philadelphia, by stopping Iicr
steam dummies, has withdrawn from com-
petition iu the experiments for increasing
speed in street-car traveling without mater-
ial diminution of safety and comfort, Nev
Yo‘rk forgets to the front with her new cars
propelled by pneumatic pressure. They
can run, if required, at the rate of 20 miles
an hour. There is very little. machinery
about tbcnr, and consequently, being light,
they will not wear out the rails and disjoint
the sleepers and bolts as the steam dummies
did; they are also without. the odor of burn-
ing coal, which made the latter somewhat
unpleasant. It is said that the expense of
running one of [hill] will be at least 25 per
cent. less than an ordinary street: car. They
frighten horses, however, us the steam dum-
mies did, and the noise of the escaping air
is objectionable. Further experiment may
remove the latter objection; or, on the other
hand, it may develop additional disadvanta.
ges which will prevent these cars, the like
can.
_.__._._———
Pittsburg has been invited to dispense
with gas lamps and to use a few lighthouses
in their place. George Magg submitted, on
Saturday, to the Committee on Gas Lighting,
a proposition for erecting three lighthouses.
One on Nunncry Hill, one on Coal Hill, and
one on Hcr'ron Bill, from which shall' be
emitted “such a flood of light that anywhere
in Pittsburg or Allegheny a pin could be seen
if lying On the pavement in the darkest nigh."
Tire lights will be so located that a perfect
crossing of the beams will be effected and
every light will neutralize the shadows of
the other. Tire lanterns are to be of
such an elevation that they will overlook the
surrounding hills. Each of them will be pro-
vided with four lights and four concave re-
flectors from six to eight feet wide and‘fr'om
ten to twelve feet high. The reflectors arc
to be made of copper, heavily plated with
silver. Mr. Magg’s corporation will build
and equip the lighthouses, guarantor; the
keeper‘s salaries and pay all the expenses for
sevenfecn years without cost to the city.
What is required of the city is this: All the
lamp-posts are to be handed over for the use
of the company, to be fitted up as advertising
mediums by means of revolving caskets, and
the income to be derived therefrom to go
into the pockets of speculators.

Happiest Days.

Which are the happiest days ?—
When June is abroad in the sky,
And the breeze with the apple-blossoms plays
And we’ve nothing to do but lie
At our case in the slumberous shade
With the volume we love theibesll,
And read to the gurgle of music made
Above in the robin’s nest :—
Ar'c these the happiest: days ?
if
Which are the happiest days ?—
ercn the riotous snow is whirled
About our homes in a blinding maze
Of whiteness that drifts the world:
When the hickory’s flame has hung
The walls with was warm,
And we hug our hearts as some song is sung
And welcome the stress of storm :_. U,
Are these the happiest days?

Which are the happiest days ?-
When, culturing thought, we dare
To Cloister ourselves from human ways,
Ignoring the want and care, .

And shadow our Attic joys :—

Simple Living.
When Agassiz visited Oken, the great
Ger-man naturalist, the latter showed to the
young student his laboratory, his cabinet,
his magnificent library, and all his varied
and costly apparatus. At length the dinner-
hour approached. Oken said to Agassiz:
“ Sir, to gather and maintain what you have
seen uses up my income. _ To accomplish
this I have to economize in my style of
living. Three times in the week we have
meat on the table. On the other three days
we dine on potatoes and salt. I regret that
your visit has fallen o'n potato day.” And
so the natusralist,,with the student of Okcu,
dined on potatoes and salt.
“ Parish Echoes. ”
This is the pleasantly sounding name of
a neatly printed quarto sheet, ‘épublishcd
by the Ladies, Benevolent Association of
the First Congregational church of Nor-
walk,"contaiuingjllcports of their fifth year's
work for Christ in the home and foreign
department. They gracefully say: “ We
have called our records ‘ Echoes;’ for echoes
from the fast receding shores of 1877, and
from years long gone fly, mingle here;
echoes from pleasant social gatherings, where
the young people and those older gave their
preschc and their efforts to aid in the social
life and the benevolent work of their church;
echoes, too, of tender words, spoken by
voices silent now on earth, but praising
cvcrmore in the church triumphant.”
The genius and plan of this Association
are set forth in their late President, deeply
lamented, “ We are circles within a circle;
and those of us who stand .in theouter line
wait only one more call, that one from the
home circle above.” This she has rcccntl y
joined.
Within the outer and larger circle of the
“Association,” is the "' ’oungFolks'Mis-
sion Circle," numbering 30 members. In the
center,~—next the Cross, and in the hearts of
alI,—is “The Sunbeam Circle," numbering
nearly 100. ,
The rcceipls of the “Association" for
their fifth year (1877) were $1,057.45—of
which $38.96 were from “Monthly Envel-
opes and Membership fees.” There reseipts
of the “ Young Folks’ Circle” were $103;
and those of the “Sunbeam Circle" (from
missionary boxes) $60. These amounts
were appropriated to “Foreign Missions,
Home Missions, and Home Necds;” and
Reports of these appropriations are full
given together with the doings of the Cir-
cles, the Annual meeting, A Memorial
Tribute to the late President, Sketch of
the First Mission Band, Five Years’ Sum-
mary, Notes of Social Gatherings, Neurol-
ogy of Members, Officers for 1878, etc.
Where “ Many daughters have done
virtuonsly,” in these concentric, Circles,
it is not too much to say of the late Presi-
dent, and also of her :succcssor, “But thou
excellcst them all.”
Perhaps this Report may wake respon-
sive “Echoes” in. other parishes, and in
many hearts, to the praise and honor of
Christ—Religious Herald.

A Clown’s Story, of his Life.
In the little, low, wedge-shaped hall on
the upper floor of No. 70 Barrowst, Joseph
1’. English, “ the converted clown,” told last
night the story of his life. It was a strange
interior. Upon the wall were hung Scriptural
texts and the most astonishing chromos.
Over the platform at the end of the hall was
the admonition “ Get acquainted withesns,”
and immediatelybelow the request “Gentle-
men will please not spit tobacco juice on the
floor." .The audience was composed of the
- people of the neighborhood, who assemble
regularly for temperance meetings. The
~speakcr is a tall, wiry man, with iron-gray
hair, a thin; sharp. face and remarkably
bright black eyes. He gave his reminis
cences in dribulets, interspersing much gen-
eral exhortation. His quaint manner dry
humor and dramatic way of talking made
what he said nteresting.
After a sketch of his early life in Dublin,
be said: “My father :was as strict about
shows and theatres as about drinking. One
day I went to see a circus. The clown took
my fancy. I said then if I ever grew up to
be a man, 1 would become a clown. I'No
hardship ever kept me from that purpose.
When 1 came to this country I joined my
first circus. It bust up in three days. But
that didn’t discourage me. I kept on and
finally became a clown. ‘ At last my wife
begged me to leave the show business. 1 was
then playing at Cbatam Four Corners. I
took her to the circus to see me. When we
got home, I asked her how she liked it. Said
8110.! ‘Ob, you looked so ridiculous!’ My
order all oozed out of my fingers. Said I.
‘But didn’t I play well?’ She replied. ‘I
felt so ashamed when I saw you in the ring
that I would have given anything to be
home.’ That decided me. I was then play-
ing with ‘SuIlivan Hibernian Bards.’ I said
‘ When I leave this show I will never go to
another.’ I went to Poughkeepsie and open-
ed a ‘gin mili’ and larger-beer saloon, wlzcrc
sang and told funny stories. My wife
thought it was a restaurant, and nothing but
eating and drinking into it. I didn’t tell her
what it was. I thought liquor selling was
all right. I had a good moral character—the
Governmenfideclnred I bad. If I wanted to
go to see the crowned heads of Europe, 111
IIneed to do is to show them my quuo
license. -
“One day u§custcmcr who spent much
money at my bar came in half drunk. Wbil
lie was standing there a little girl (ntere
with a pail. She wanted a‘quart of'lagu‘
When I gave it to her she turned to the man,
pulled his sleeve. and said, ‘Pa, come home.
Mother said iehe would get you this beer if
you would only come home to drink it.
The drunken brute snarled out, ‘Get home,
or I’ll break your back.‘ I had been to

in a moment it flashed upon me that I w

it. Everything has prospered with me since.
and 1 have done my best for temperance.’
