A DETECTIVE CAMERA I turned into my berth, “ lower 5,” with the firm satisfaction, born of long experience :as a traveler, of :a. long, comfortable night’s sleep ahead of me. The singing of the wheels, the rushes over bridges, the crooning of the wind as it caresses the sides of the car, the flashing lights as you pass rapidly through :a way station, the deep-toned bell and shrill whistle—- these are the ingredients of a good traveler‘s soothing syrup, and 'I “was a good traveler. So I was“ soon asleep, my money and watch under my pil- low, and my pocket camera (which I invariably carry) in the little ham- mock over my head. How long I slept I did not know, when I awoke with a start and a cry of pain to find my hand pressing against my right temple, which stung as though I had been shot. In my half-asleep condition I raised myself from the pillow and looked at my hand, on the fingers of which was some warm blood. Applying my hand- kerchief to the wound, I soon stopped the flow, for the cut was simply an abrasion of the skin, although my head ached as though I had been struck by- some weapon. I looked about, and there on my pillow. lay my pocket camera. I smiled, for ideas of an assault had flashed through my mind. It was all plain enough; the camera loosened from the hammock by a roll of the train had fallen on my head, and the sharp corner, striking my temple, had done the damage that had awakened me. I pulled the curtain aside and looked out. It was bright daylight, and we were just leaving Battimore, so I had a couple of hours more in which to sleep. I turned over, and in another instant was again lost to conscious- ness. The porter woke me a few miles outside of Washington, and I started to dress. Putting my hand under the pillow, I withdrew it again with a cry, for my watch and pocketbook were gone. I called the conductor, and told him of my loss. “Arrest the porter,” said he. “and the brakeman who came through dur- ing the night. Hurriedly clothing my- self, and saying nothing more about my loss to any one but the conductor, I waited for our arrival in Washing- ton. The conductor gave orders for none to leave the car until a detect- ive had come aboard. The detective could do no more than search the employes of the car, and put them under temporary arrest on my charge, and I will say that the fellow passengers on board were bet- ter natured and more willing to lend what little aid they could than I would have been under such circum- stances. With a detective, conductor and our prisoners I went to the police station and told my story. my opinion, as well as the officer’s, that I had been robbed by somebody who had got. off at Baltimore, but as eight men had left the car at Balti- more there was little clew to work on in that direction. At any rate I was $400 and a $300 watch out of pocket. I telegraphed back to New York for money, and then transacted my busi- ness. While waiting for the cash from my firm, however, I spent the time strolling about the magnificent city, with my little camera, snap-shot- ting Carlisle, the Treasury building, a fight in F street and the monument, as well as several typical scenes I en countered about the market, till my roll of films was full. I discovered this when I went to turn the button for another picture, but was surprised to find that it did not respond to my twist. Strange! I remembered tak- ing only eleven pictures, and should have had one more film left. But I supposed I had unconsciously turned two films at once, and let the matter slip my mind. ' In a week I returned to New York, and one of the first things I did was to take my camera full of pictures to a photographer for development. 'The next day I dropped in to get his completed work, and looked over the prints with nine. ‘ “They’re all excellent except one," said he. This is your best subject, too, but you didn’t have enough light.” “Why,” said I, “ they all had the same exposure, and were taken in the middle of the day.” “Not this one,” said he. “It’s really a remarkable subject. Tell me, how did you ever get it?” And, holding the film up to the light‘,’ for he had not yet printed it, he showed me a picture that made me jump 'with as— tonishment and grab it from his hands. ' There on the gelatlne I saw—but you’ll scarcely believe me—I saw the picture of a man’s face, the eyes glar- ing down at something before him, his left hand, which was holding a It was . curtain aside, grasping a pocketbook , and watch. and his other hand hidden cutside The lower limit of the photo- graph, but evidently stretched for- ward as if to catch or grasp some- thing. “By heaven!” I cried, “do you know What this is?” “What is it?” , “It’ the picture of the man who robbe me in a sleeping car on my last trfl.” And then I told him the whole remarkable story. “I never heard of such a thing,” said he. “It’s astonishing! Why, when the thief was in the act of rob- bing you he evidently knocked down your camera—but it doesn’t seem pos- sible.” ’ “It must be though,” said I. “When he knocked it down it ‘went off’ of its own accord when it hit me, and being focussed on the thief took his picture. It’s wonderful!” Well, to make a long story short, he managed to get a print of the neg— ative, faint as it was, that gave an admirable impression of the thief. I sent copies to the chiefs of police in Baltimore and .Washington, and to the conductor of the car, who remem- bered such a man leaving the car at a former city. He was finally apprei -hended, accused and confessed, and .I. Thethief got. got my watch back. five,years.——New York Journal. Doesn’t Care for Leap Year. She snapped her fingers disdain- fully. “That for leap year!” she said. “I wouldn’t give one common year for a whole bushel of them.” “Perhaps,” said her dearest friend, with that .selicitude for which dearest friends are noted, “some one has given you the mitten.” “Not at all. He jumped at the chance to get me, and we’re engaged.” The dearest friend suggested that :she didn’t see just what fault could be found with leap year under those circumstances, the complaint usually coming from girls who had made a trial and failed to score. “Why, there’s nothing artistic about it,” explained the engaged girl. “It isn’t sportsmanlike to bag your game that way, and there’s no real excitement or fun in it—just a little nervousness and it’s all over. Any .girl can ask a man to marry her, but it’s more of a trick to make a man .ask her. That calls for careful and artistic work. My ’95 engagement was twice the sport of the ’96 affair.”— Ohicago Post. The Great Queen. The teacher was going over the good old story of King Solomon and his wis- dom. “Now, dears, who was the great queen who travelled so many miles to see the king?” Silence prevailed in the class. “Why, you do know, all of you. The queen who came to see the king?” The name had been forgotten by the class. In order tohelp them the kind but misguided teacher began to offer a little assistance. . “You do know, I am sure. The name begins with an S, and she was a very great queen.” “ Just then up shot a little hand, and out spoke the triumphant voice of the little auburn-haired girl. She trans- fixed the listening school room with the following brief statement: “I know; it was the Queen of Spades.”—I’hiludelphia Inquirer. THOUGHTS TO MAKE A NOTE OF. Love is like a squirrel; at once en- terprising and timid. A great misfortune gives grandeur even to an insignificant being. The kindness of youth is angelic; the kindness of old age is divine. Every one of our actions is reward- ed or punished, only we do not ad- mit it. Patience is not passive; on the con- trary, it is active, it is concentrated strength. Often the virtue of a woman must be very great, since it has to suffice for two. There are people who feed them- selves with their grief until they get fat on it. Do not feel proud at having sup- ported your misfortune. How could you not have supported it? There is no doubt that thinkers gov— ern the world; and it is quite as cer- tain that the world governs poten- tates. ' There is but one happiness—duty.— Thcre is but one consolation—work.— There is but one enjoyment—the beau- tiful. An excellent housewife is, always in a state of despair; one would often like the house less perfectly kept and more peaceful. Foolishness places itself in the fore- most rank to be observed; intelligence stands in the hindmost to observe.— St. James Gazette. The song of the nightingale and the howling of cats are two manners of expressing the same feeling; but they are not mutually intelligible. From selfishness men make severer laws for women than for themselves, without suspecting that by doing so they raise them above themselves. Melancholy, when it is not a physi- cal languor, is a kind of convales- cence during which one thinks one’s self much more ill than during the illness. h In youth grief is a tempest which E makes you ill; in old age it is only a cold wave which adds a wrinkle to win face and one more white lock to the others. " N or the the two misguided classes, those who do not advertise and those who do not read advertisements, the ' the former is by far the larger, as nearly everybody reads them—Dans- ville Breeze. ln .. m,” Is there any reason . q? ‘1 ‘\d ....... noting a great and vital fact simply be- cause a few preju- diced, misguided people have anti- quated ideas of what ' constitutes morality and modesty? Rea- son and honesty say —certainly not. Men and .women are at- tracted to each other because they are men and women and be- cause it is right and necessary that they should be so at- tracted. The things that make a man at- tractive are the char- . acteristics caused by his inherent manli- ness—by the strength which makes him a perfect man. The same is true of wo- man. There is strong attractiveness in per- fect health. There is fascination and mag- ' A wo- for_dodging and ig- tirely womanly—she cannot be a~ perfect woman—if she is not in perfect health. In just so much as her sickness afiects the organs that make her a woman. in just so much she loses attractive- ness. This is the vital part of her health. If anything is wrong there, it ma result in all manner of ills all over the ha y, Care- this‘ 'nd of disorder as toms are many and varied, so much so that when a. woman is sick in any way, the first thought should be given to the organs dis- tinctly feminine. About 9 times in 10 the cause of the trouble will be found there. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures all disorders of this kind. There is no guess- work about it. There is no chance about it. It is a fact that has been demonstrated in 30 solid years of extensive practice. Thousands of women have written grate- ful letters, who have wished the whole world of women to know the wonderful tlfiings the “Prescription ” has done for t em. .

Ir former days it was the ambition of u. Scotch peasant, poor as he might. Sir Walter Scott relates a pathetic in— stance of the intensity of this ambiy lion. ' " Scott, while attending lectures at the University of Edinburgh. made acquaintance with a youth who so in- terested him that be frequently in- vitcd tho-lad to a stroll in the cm try. One day they met a. venerable “blue gown,” a ' beggar, clean and ruddy, whose traditional outside gate ment, whence the name of the mendi- cant class, was worn as though it was the toga of a Roman Senator. Scott gave the beggar alms, but his companion exhibited restless confu- sion. “ ,0 you know anything to the dis- honor of the old beggar?” asked Scott, seeing the nervousness of his fellow,— student. means to pay for my education.” ‘Scott kept the lad’s secret, and held For: to his companionship. For sev-' eral days the youth’s seat was vacant. and on Scott again meeting the “blue gown,” the old man said: “God bless you! You have been kind to Willie. He has often spoken of you. Come to my roof and see him, for he has been sick.” and found Willie sitting on a bench before the door, enjoying the sun- shine. The voluntary beggar wel- comed him, and they sat down too dinner of mutton and potatoes. Dur- ing the conversation the old man ex- claimed, with much emotion: :3; - “Please God, I may live to see my bairn wag his head in a pulpit yet!” Scott told his mother about Willie and the old “blue gown,” and through her influence the mendicant’s son was appointed to a tutorship 1'1.) the north .Of Scotland. - -. , ' it 57’3” is... —_—-—--Vk._==.l.-.H.na "‘ '- Had His Reasons. “New There is an Irish porter employed in a large commission house in New York, one of the kind that will make a witty reply to any sort of question. He is very fond of expressing his vibws in general, and has a great ad- miration of his arguments. If he fails to get a listener he will talk to him- self in lieu of something better. A member of the firm being annoyed one day at his constant muttering. which he was unfortunate enough to hear, sent for him. - “See here, John, did it ever occur to you that your constant talk and mut- tering is a great annoyance to people that happen to be around? Why on earth do you chatter to yourself, any- how?” “Shure, I have two reasons for doin’ that.” ' “Two they?” “One of them is that I loike ter talk to a sinsible man, and the other is that I loike ter hear a sinsible man talk.”——Harper’s Round Table. 1'. reasons! Well, what are Government Seeds. The government seedshop is getting in fine shape to distribute the $130,000 worth of seeds in 1897 ordered by con- gress. This equals $288.89 for each representative, senator and delegate in congress, or enough to allow 30,000 packets of seeds to each member, in- cluding field seeds in quart packets. Secretary Morton has closed contracts “for the freshest and best obtainable varieties adapted to general cultiva- tion,” as the new provision of law specifies, but application for seed must be made to members of congress. In buying this seed, bids were invited from all firms, and to insure seed adapted to the various sections, the contracts were awarded to a responsi- ble firm in each section—eastern, south Atlantic, middle western, north- western and southwestern states; contracts for the Pacific states are yet to be awarded. So far the law could not well have been complied with more faithfully. Level the Roadsides. Roads are difficult to keep free from weeds. This is partly due to the fact that most of them have been graded, leaving deep ditches and irregular ex- cavations between the wagon track and the fence, making it impossible to go over the ground with the mower. The weeds are consequently left un- cut. This can be remedied now by the use of a plow, barrow and road grader. Plow down the steep bank of the ditches, and level them with the bar- row and grader. The slopes will be sufficiently reduced to admit of cutting the weeds with a machine. Plow shut all useless ditches or holes made by hauling away the earth for grading at a distance. Seed to grass, and the high- ways can be cheaply kept in good order.
