I modestJy suggest to tne dictionary sharp definition which shall give some vague idea of the meaning of the ill-sounding word as •fplied to our best society—for example. KLEPTOMANIAC—A perfect gentleman Moving in the very highest social circles; Vestryman in a leading church, belonging to all the swagger clubs; trustee and guar- dian for several orphan children; also an active officer in Society for the Suppression of Vice; a citizen of reputation who takes things not belonging to him. such as jewels, bric-a-brae, wWcVn adds and^ead^fro?nui'tos fcosttr dinaea.tabic, spoons from any^table tot all, and auv little thing of value that may attract his testhetic eye. The female of this species is frequently a dainty, charming creature, possessed of rare personal beauty, 3>onaber of many charitable so die ties, trea- surer of mission fluids, very active in Park- hurst purification labour, untiring in social- purity work, shows special interest in church philanthropy, slum work, houses of refuge, &P- 'ftc&rkcheon for both, a shield with crossed, very sleight hands, 400 tiny stars in field of blue; motto, "Silence; noblesse mm*- Ten years or more ago a story was sent to the New York daily papers that the son of a millionaire in that city was in the habit of pilfering from his classmates. No paper would print the offered copy, but quite naturally the various editors did not forget the incident. A few years ago a novel was published bearing the title "A Social Highwayman." The editors who chanced upon it reoognised the ghost of the facts placed before them so long before, but only the ghost, for the thief in the story compels a certain sympathy because of the tender love and lavish care be bestows upon his mother and Elinor Burnham, who are maintained upon the profits of his plunder; because also of his personal charm and mag- Inetism and of the hideous retributive justice meted out to him with such dramatic equity in his tragic death. We all have felt the admi- ration for the man or woman strong enough to be splendide mendex-the man who per- jures himself for a woman, the woman who í stands by a man through disgrace and igno- I miny. If Courtice Jaffrey was not splendidly false, he was at the end so magnificently true that in defiance of common sense we forgive him, and confess to a sneaking affeotion for him. „ storjof lfccfcj. him. 1 storjof lfccfcj. ,???.?.?-??,1_. millionaire so-called kleptomaniac, unless one. veils it with the charitable mantle of insanity, contains no single element to evoke pity or anything but utter contempt and disgust. For years it has been a perfectly well-known fact that jewels, silverware, objects of art—any one of the thousand bibelots scattered a.bout the modern homes of our wealthy citizens moving in that society reputed as the best- would be missing after either a small or large social function where equally a certain very select coterie is to be found, and in 75 out of 100 oi such cases the jewel or ornament or piece of plate will be as mysteriously returned as purloined. A messenger will appear with a parcel-for which he will exact a receipt—and the stolen object will bi found in the package. Never a word, never a sign except that which the return of the valuable betokened. Tacitly it has become accepted as a some- what unpleasant fact that a millionaire pil- ferer is one of our bright and shining lights. Many innocent people have been suspected, but finally the tlhefte narrowed down, the thief was spotted, and with that utter supineness which marks our budding aristocracy we show our breeding by continuing to open our homes for a plutocrat to burglarise. In return, it must be said that the million- aire, who knows no meum or tuum, enter- tains with splendour, and that if with won- derful dexterity he appropriates his guests' belongings he freely lavishes money for their amusement. It comes then seriously to this: That there is no extent to which the very rich tBiag not ddz the and retain ewx ouii-j .???.??, ?E? .??.- ward condition of respectability; nay, even command a grovelling toadyism from the people who know their vices and have to suffer from them. The best people in society bowing low to the sneak thief! For in com- mon parlance, would not the stranger that pocketed scarfpins from your cushion or jewelled bonbonieres from your Vernis Martin cabinet 'be unceremoniously dubbed as such? It is a pleasing spectacle, indeed. I asked a well-known detective the other day the diffe- rence between a kleptomaniac and a thief. He mused for a moment, and then said without the vestige of humour in his voice or manner: "Lady, it's like this. It's high toned, d yer see, to be a klepto. There's no danger of your being punished as a thief if you've got good connections and are rich. There's no use in bothering rich thieves, they'd every last one of them get proved innocent or irresponsible. Poor people can't afford any such luxuries, and we oan't afford to stand any of their non- sense. If a poor woman steals, why, she goes up; if a poor man steals, why ditto. The difference is the size of,your bank account." This explanation, if not highly satisfactory from the lofty standpoint of morality and jus- tice, is beyond question the accepted one. I modestly suggest as an appendage to the defini- tion of kleptomaniac, as I have proposed, the follQwing A kleptomaniac of lower, intermediate, and middle class is a plain thief.

ANOTHER REMARKABLE CURB RHEUMATISM. The letters which appeared in the "Western Mail" last week from a Mr. Davies respecting the cure of rheumatism in five weeks from the we of Mr. Phil Phillips's rheumatic ar-nlianoes, after years of suffering, and after several doctors had failed in relieving the sufferer from pain, have caused many inquiries respecting these appliances from persons suffering from this terrible complaint. Here is another case of an equally marvellous oharacterOn the 21st of January. 1897, a Mr. Thomas Hollis, Edingale, Tamworth, Staffordshire, wrote to Mr. Phillips: —"Dear Sir,—I saw in the papers what good euros your rheumatic cocks had done for people. T have rheumatism in my legs very bad. I a a labouring man, working out of doors. I should like to try them very much. I have enclosed 10s. 6d. for a pair of your rheu- matic socks, and the pattern of my boots. Please send them by return of post, and with directions how to use them. I was recommended also to try them by Mr. Petty, at Lowidmm.-Youn truly, Thomas Hollifi.' The socks were sent, and on February 8, just three weeks after com- mencmg to wear them, ne wrote again: — "EdingaLe, February 8. 1897. Dear Sir,—I am glad to inform you that I am much better than I have been for a long time, though the pain has not entirely left my hip. I have worn the socks, as you told me, night and day. I did not feel any of the pricking or warmth in my feet from them. Shall I go on as I have been doing? —Yours truly, T. Ho His." On February 17 he wrote again"Edingale, February 17, 1897. Dfiar Sir.—I write to tell you about my soaks. I have felt a great benefit from them. I am a deal better, and I thought of leaving them off in the daytime and only wearing them at night. I can now walk to my work, a mile and a half from my home, and back, but before I left them off entirely I thought I would ask your advice what I had better do.—Yours truly, Thomas Hollis." Here is a man who had been suffering from rheumatism for & long time able Jot one monthla time io xerume his wcdt and. walk three miles a day, in addition to com- pleting his day's work; and yet this is only one of many similar cases. This remedy cures when all other remedies have failed. Mr. Phillips would feel obliged if sufferers from rheumatism would write to Mr. Hollis, and ascertain the particulars of the cure effected by his rheumatic appliances; but, as Mr. Hollis is only a working man, a stamped directed envelope should be enclosed for a reply. The fullest inquiry is courted into every case pub- lished. Socks, 10s. 6d.; belts, 10s. 6d.; wristlets, 5s. Send size of boot for socks, size of waist for belt, and size of wrist for wristlets. -?-

POLICE OFFICERS AND THEIR DOGS. A PROTEST AT MBETHYR- In a case heard at Merthyr Police-court on Monday, in which one man was charged with assaulting and four others with resisting him, Police-constable Dove, of Abercanaid, admitted, in reply to Mr. Beddoe, the defending solicitor, that on the occasion in question, which was at night, he had with him a retriever dog. How- ever, he said the dog was very quiet and affec- tionate.—Mr. Beddoe, whose instructions were that the dog jumped at the man who committed the assault, said that he must protest against amy police officer whilst on night duty taking about with him a dog whose nature was so ferocious as that of a retriever. He directed the attention of Superintendent Thorney to this particular instance, and said he hoped the practice would be stopped.—The Stipead'.<wy, in dealing with the defendants, said he ayite agreed with Mr. Beddoe that a police officer had no right to take a dog about with km when on duty at night.

?- ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE. A BATCH OF CONVICTIONS. AT KEBTHYS, At Merthyr Polioe-oourt on Monday, Thomas Peters and David Peters, mulattos, together with William Jones, were oharged with being drunk and refusing to quit the Bruce Arms Inn, Mountain Ash; also with assaulting the police whilst in the execution o< their duty. On Saturday night the prisoners and others created a disturbance in the public- house, and Police-constables King and Cooks- ley were called in to eject them. The officers were subjected to brutal ill-usage, and Thomas Is, Peters, after searching in vain for a poker, actually picked up a fender for use as a weapon of attack.
