The nippers resemble a pair of curling tongs, withof sharp little teeth for catching hold keys that of house. the are in the locks inside By means of the nippers the key is not only shoved inside, but it is actually used to unlock the door before being removed. The custom of leaving the key in the lock as a precaution to against burglars, who are reputedrealis carry false keys with them, ly one of great help to professional robbers instead of a hindrance. The "drag' is the most powerful little instrument that the professional the burglar carries, according to conand. its Home and Country, struction is a marvel of simplicity, ingenuity and strength. By means of it the most powerful safes are opened within a few minutes, and without so much noise as to attract the attention of the policemen outside the building. The instrument is being improved as safemakers endeavor to make their receptacles for valuables more trustworthy and difficult to break open. So far the burglars have kept pace with the safemakers, and with every improvement made by the latter the former are sure to circumvent it in some way.

AMERICANS WHO ENG- - Swindlers Still Find the 3Uded Bait AtExtractive In Spite of Furposure An Easy Swindle Which nishes Quick Returns. Oft-Repeat- ed was ever pursued with the" same constancy and enthusiasm in the face of strong discouragement than have been shown in the hunt after mythical English fortunes In by otherwise sane Americans. of bundle spite of the fact that no big English wealth, in litigation in the court of chancery in England, has ever been divided 'among American heirs, the belief that they are heirs to fabulous fortunes in the tight little isle burns as strong as ever in certain American breasts. No better illustration could be found of the old saying that "hope springs eternal"; for this hope ever young, ever waiting to be played upon by sharpers, who use the No will-o'-the-wi- sp commonest methods of extracting dollars from their victims and play them along for years, forcing an annual income from them. It doesn't require any particular cleverness on the part of these swindlers to dupe the confiding persons who imagine themselves heira. The latter are eager to fall into the net. They come to the sharpers with the same meekness and readiness that deer show when they approach the flaring torch of the pot. hunter. And they never learn anything by experience. In spite of the fact that these swindles have been exposed continually by the police and newspapers, victims are as numerous and as pliant as ever, and release their hold on good dollars with the same marvelous eagerness that they have shown since the first genius discovered how easy it was ta make money by advertising for heirs to English fortunes. Over and over again the bank of England has announcedthat its vaults contain no large fortunes tied up in the court of chancery, and which were awaiting American heirs; yet these mythical fortunes are always reposing in the bank of England, according to the stories used to beguile The amounts of silly Americans. these "fortunes" really are comical. They are seldom less than $50,000,000 and often run up to $300,000,000 or $400, 000, l '00 and yet in the face of these ludicrous figures gudgeons swarm into the toils of the swindlers who circulate these absurd lairy tales and make money out of them. The methods of these mythical fortune sharps are so simple as to cause one to wonder that they can be so successful. Their usual program, tc New York Recorder, the according is first to get hold of some green country correspondent and hint at a "great story" they could give him for his papers, if they were so minded. After they had whetted the ' green correspondent's curiosity up to a pitch where his senses practically leave him they tell him they are the agents for a vast estate in England, which is the property of heirs who are somewhere in America; the fortune will make the lucky Americans rich Deyond all dreams. Then, upon pressure by the correspondent, the agents, pretending to be very unwilling to do so," give him a list of names of "heirs," and they invariably pitch upon names born,e by many families. Then the correspondent rushes off to the telegraph station and sends long "specials" to all the newspapers he can mys-sterious- ly think of. In the rush and hurry incident to the production of a big daily newspaper, the absurdity of the story will escape attention, and some of the newspapers will print the yarn. You may be sure that the "agents" watch the newspapers closely and clip the story from those which printed it, chuckling over the success of their t-ar- e proprietor After the modern hotel ' has made all possible arrangements for the comfort and care of his guests he finds himself confronted with the of providing for important problem the army of help which he imust emA, ploy, says the New .York Herald. 400 service in perits has hotel large sons, who must be fed, and in some cases sheltered for the night every average day in the year.

Arrangements are therefore s houses for two dismade in tinct and separate establishments.

At some hotels the entire service of two or three cooks arid half a dozen helpers are required for this1 purpose. The rooms in which the help eat are and, usually located in the basement, while they are severely plain, in their furnishings, they are always extremely clean and well kept. The tables, except those devoted to the lowest grade of help, are covered with towhite becloths, which are npt allowed come filthy before being changed,, There is an erroneous popular impression that hotel employes are fed upon the leavings of the guests. Food from the tables goes directly into the swill barrel, without exception. Should more ?soup or meat or vegetables be cooked for the guests than is needed to supply their wants, such food is given to the servants, and not otherwise. In no business establishment in the country are the lines between the several grades of employes so sharply drawn as they are in the hotels. In houses of the first class there are four grades. The first includes the officers, who are divided into two classes, the one including the office cashier, head clerks, room clerks, the steward, bookkeepers, head waiter and housekeeper, and the other the assistant steward, restaurant cashiers, stenographers, telegraph operator, chief electrician, chief engineer and pantry -- ; -- cMo I. f I . ; 4 J ' first-clas- i ! .
