'All good citizens will rejoice to learn that a new and efficacious method of abolishing those parts of the streets, known as Hooligans, has :been discovered and put into prac- tical application by a Trench genâ€" :itleman named M. Pierre Vigny. ~, Some years ago the idea occurred {to M. Vigny, who, it may be menâ€"- fittioned, has been fencing master to is. French crack cavalry regiment, ithat it would be possible to discov- .;er a system by which people could ‘guard themselves against the cow- 'ardly methods of assault practised ‘by the blackguards of the streets. ‘M. Vigny accordingly purchased a lstout Walking-stick, and, armed with iit, proceeded to study the methods of Hooligans in the slums of London and. Liverpool. i When he acquired first-hand know~ ledge of their ways, he repaired to Paris, where he sought wisdom from “the Thugs and Apaches, ruffians who assualt pedestrians with sandâ€"bags and life-preservers, and then, for the purpose of finishing his education, he Spent some sonsiderable time amongst the ruflians of Rome and Naples, who are proficient in the use of the murderous stiletto, and completed his curriculum in the Bowery of New York and the slums of hicago. ‘ .e thus became conversant with every device of the street ruflian, and. what is of more importance, he discovered how to protect himself effectively from every weapon, with the exception of firearms, they use, including loaded belts, sand-bags, bludgeons, knives, and daggers, with the instrumentality of a HUMBLE WALKING-STICK i For the purpose of imparting this art he has established a “School of Selfâ€"Defence” in a street near Ox- ford Street, London, which is large- ly patronised by young aristocrats, gcity men, actors, and others, whose pursuits necessitate their being out late. Ladies also receive instruction at this unique school in large num- ,bers, and Vigny maintains that anyone who has mastered the sys- ltem of selfâ€"defence with a walkingâ€" ,stick or umbrella, which he has in- laugurated, is a match for, at least, ghalf‘ a. dozen street rufllans armed {with belts or knives. } The newly-wedded men who disâ€" fcovor that the pastry made by their better halves is more substantial Ethan digestible,' and that their col~ laws and culls lack lustre will be de- llighted to hear that a “School for .lWives” exists at Chelsea, which is ipresided over by Professor Tomlinâ€" ison, who instructs his pupils in all {sorts of housewifely duties, from .clear starching to the higher flights of domestic economy. Large numâ€" fbers of married and single ladies atâ€" tend athis school for the purpose of becoming proficient in various domâ€" estic arts, and lectures followed by practical demonstrations are given on every imaginable subject connect- ;ed with the household. . Ghent and St. Petersburg boast of l’unique schools for detectives and policemen. Ghent’s police force emâ€" ploys large numbers of dogs to paâ€" trol the streets at night and these innimals are taught to obey the com- mand of any man in uniform and to lfollow any person, and if necessary ifiy at him, when instructed by the gendarme. RUSSIAN POLICEMEN are taught everything that is likely "to be' useful to them in the course of their duties at an academy at St. Petersburg. The students are taught the gentle arts of burgling and pock- et picking, and they are made pro- ficient in the methods of all sorts of criminals, as the authorities hold that they can only. become efficient policemen 'through mastering the devices of thieves. The more ad- , vanced pupils are instructed in shad- . owing suspected persons, and imag- inary crimes are committed, and prizes given to those who solve them by deduction. One of the most interesting schools in London to visit is that for acro- bats and “strong” men at Kenning- tom There you will see pupils inâ€" ; Structed' in the art of throwing douâ€" ble somcrsaults and weight lifting. Juglning is also embraced in the curriculum, and the initial efforts of would-beâ€"jugglors to perform tricks with eggs and plates are both interâ€" esting and amusing. . Very few are aware thaf several schools for barbers and three finish- ;ing academies for hairdressers exist fin London. At the hairdressers’ academies courses of instructions are ‘givcn, by competent professors in the iinricate art of the coifl‘ure, and elaâ€" borate styles of headdresses are conâ€" structed on models selected for their profession from historical pictures and engravings. The West End Hairdressers’ Academy, it may be mentioned, has some six hundred scholars, and twelve models are conâ€" fitantly employed. Despite the vigilance of the police quite a number of schools for the training of young criminals exist, unfortunately, in England. One of these was recently discovered in Be- 't,hnal (ween, which was conducted by an alien of an unsavory but familiar type. '1‘l-ll'thOS'l‘ FAMOUS SCI-TOOL for young pickpockets, however, sup- pressed ‘in recent years, was the one kept, by the woman known as "The FUUND WHAT HE , WAS LOOKING FOR His A COMPLETE CURE FOR BLAD- DER TROUBLES IN DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS. â€"..._ James Atwell cines and Bandages, but they Failedâ€"Dodd’s Kidney Pills Didn’t. V Campbellford, Ont., May 22â€" (Special)â€"â€"“I had Lumbago and Blad- der Trouble for years. I could get no relief till I tried Dodd’s Kidney - Pills and they cured me.” This is the statement of James Al:- well of this place, and all his neighâ€" bors know it to be true. Speaking further of his cure Mr. Atwell says:â€" "For five months of the time the pains in my bladder were very severe and in passing my urine would hurt me so as to almost cause tears to [come to my eyes. “I used other pills and got no re- lief. I used a bandage and got no relief. Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured me completely and permanently.” All bladder diseases are caused by disordered kidneys.

She instructed a number of boys and girls in pocket. picking, and lived in considerable affluence from the Ipupils’ dishonesty. whom, it is only fair to state, she treated with great kindness, so far as their physical lwell-bein-g was concerned, until she was discovered and sentenced to a term of imprisonment. The most extraordinary school, however, that exists in the Metro- polis is the Japanese School of Selfâ€"Defence, where Juâ€"J it-Su, or ‘ ‘Weakness against Strength, ' ' is taught by Professor Vyenishi. Juâ€" Jit-Su is a. system based on a proâ€" found knowledge of anatomy and dynamics, and anyone who is profiâ€" cient in this curious method can overthrow an adversary who is three times as strong. President Roose- velt is an adept at Juâ€"Jitâ€"Su, and quite a large number of officers in the British Army are practising this system. It is said that no strong man or athlete has ever succeeded in defeatâ€" ing a J uâ€"J itâ€"Su player, and certainâ€" ly none of the famous wrestlers at present before the punlic have ever accepted the challenges of the Jap- anese champions who are performing in Englandâ€"Pearson’s Weekly. â€"+ MORE USEFUL. At a certain school a boy was re- gularly absent during the hour in which Latin was taught, and the teacher called upon the boy’s father, at whose instructions it had been learnt the lad kept away. The teacher asked for an explanation, and the father said, “It is all right. During the Latin hour I am Leaching Jimmy something that he will find far more useful than Latin in his progress through life.” The teacher was interested, and asked What what this subject might be. The father replied, “I am teaching my son how to shave without a lookingâ€"glass." i Sheâ€"“Your little wife made that cake with her own dear little hands" I-Ieâ€"“Well, now, if my little v ife will eat that cake with her own dear litâ€" tle mouth I will be satisfied.”- _.++__- BAD DREAMS .
