“You are English, I- take it, air?”
It: was clear to me that at any rate the
speaker was. I was traveling alone. I
had not fallen in with three Englishmen
in as many weeks: And'I turned- to in-
spect the newcomer with a. cordiality his
smudged and smutty face could not
wholly suppress. “I am,” I answered,
“and I am very glad to meet a fellow
countryman.”
“You are a stranger here?” He did not
take his eyes from me but indicated by
a gesture of his thumb the busy wharf
below us, piled high with hundreds and
thousands of frail crates full of oranges.
From the upper deck of the San Miguel
we looked directly down upon it, and
could see all that was coming or going
in the trim basin about us. The San
Miguel, a steamer of the Segovia Quadra
& Co.’s line, bound for several places on
the coast southward, was waiting to
clear out; of El Grao, the harbor of Va-
lencia, and I was waiting rather impa—
tiently to clear out with her. “You are
a stranger here?” he repeated.
“Yes; I have been in the town four or
five days, but otherwise I am a. stranger,"
I answered.
“You are not in the trade?” he con-
tinued. He meant the orange trade.
“No, I am not; I am traveling for
pleasure,” I answered readily. “You will
9 able to understand that, though it is
more than any Frenchman or Spaniard
can.” I smiled as I spoke, but he was
not very responsive.
“It is a queer place to visit for pleas-
are,” he said dryly, looking away from
me to the busy throng about the orange
crates.
“Not at all,” I retorted; “it is a lively
town and quaint besides, and it is warm
and marry. I cannot say as much as
that of Madrid, from which I came two
or three weeks back.”
“Come straight here?” he asked lacon-
ically. . ’
I was growing a trifle tired of his
curiosity, but I answered, “No; I stayed
a short time at Toledo and Aranjuez—ob,
and at several other places?
“You speak Spanish?”
ijot much. 'Muy poco de Castellano,”
g I lghghed, calling to mind that madden-
'~ ing' grimace by which the Spanish peas-
ant indicates that he does not understand,
and is not going to understand you. He
is a good fellow enough, is Sancho Panza,
but having made up his mind that you
do not speak Spanish the purest Castilian
is after that not Spanish for him.
“You are going some way with us—
perhaps to Carthagena?” persisted the in-
quisitor.
He laid a queer stress upon the last
word, and with it shot; at me a. sly glance
—a glance so unexpected and so unpleas-
autly suggestive that I did not answer
him at once. Instead I looked at him
more closely. He was a. wiry young fel-
low, rather below than above the middle
height, to all appearance the chief engi-
neer; Everything about him, not ex-
cluding the atmosphere, was greasy and
oily, as if he had come straight from the
engine room. The whites of his eyes
showed with unlovely prominence. See-
ing him thus, I took a dislike for him.
“To Cakthagenal’.’ I answered brusquely.
“No, I am not going to stay at Car-
thagena. Why should you suppose so,
may I ask? Unless, indeed,” I added, as
another construction of his words oc-
curred to me, “you think I want to see a
bit of fighting? No, my friend, the fun
might grow too furious.”
To explain this I should add that three
days ‘before” there had been a mutiny
among the troops at Carthagena. It was
." mentioned at the. time in the English
papers. An outlying fort was captured,
and the governor of the city killed be-
fore the attempt was suppressed. Of
course, this was in every one's mouth,
and I fancied that his question referred
to it.
My manner or my words, however,
disconcerted him. IVithout saying more
he turned away, not going below at once,
butatandkig or; the main deck near the
Mocha the‘afterpart. There was a. good
‘dealfidf-i bustle‘in that Quarter. The cap-
taiu,.,_seo dofiicer and clerk were there,
:givirig an taking receipts andwhat not.
He dim " speak to them, but leaned
against tho‘rail close at hand. I had an
unco ' e feelmgthat he was watch-
ing :11 this I suppose gave rise to a
strung king from the man, which
y with me always, but re-
turned from time to time.

I had an uncomf la feeling that he was
_ ~ > watching me. 4
Presently the dinner bell rang, and
simultaneously the San Miguel moved
out; to sea; We were to spend the next
day at Alicante, and the following one
at Carthagena. '
Dinner was not a cheerful .meal.
rEhe aofilcers' of. the ship did not
speak English or French, and were
not; communicative in any language.
Besides myself there were only three
fuel: class Ipfassbngers. They were ladies
—-relatives of the newly’appointed gov-
ernor of Carthagena, and about to join
him there. Ihave no doubt that they
were charming and fashionable people,
7- butfiheir'partiality'for the knife ineat-
ln’g was calculated to prejudice them un-
fairly in English eyes. Consequently,
"when I Came on deckhg'ain, and the en-
gineer—Sleigh, he told me his name was
wsidled up to me, I received him grai-
ciously enough. He proffered the omni-
present cigarette, and I provided him in
return with something to drink. He
urged me to go down with him and see
the engine room, and after some hesita-
tion I did so. You see, it was after din-
ner.
“I have pretty much my own way."
he said. boastingiy. “They cannot do
without English engineers. Theyjtried
once, and lost three boats in six months.
In harbor my time is my own. I have
seven stokers under me, all Spaniards.
They tried it; on with me when I first
came aboard, they did! But the first
that out with his knife to me I knocked
on the head with a shovel. I have had
none of their sauce sinus!” '
. ,“Was he much hurt?” I asked, scan-
‘ming mypom anion. He was not big, I
barmaid. l.ies'10.__uched and shambles.
Hut With an this there was an an“ of
swaggering dare devilry about him that
gave color to his story.
“I don’t know,” he answered. “They
took him to the hospital; he never came
aboard again—that is all I know,”
“I suppose your pay is good?” I sug-
gested, timidly. To confess the truth, I
felt; myself at a. disadvantage with him
down there. The flaring lights and deep
shadows, the cranks and pistons whirl-
ing at our elbows, the clank and din,
and the valves that hissed at unexpected
moments, were matters of every hour to
him—me they imbued with amean de<
sire to propitiate. As after dinner
easiness abated, I re d that ithad
induced me to come own.
He laughed— a short harsh laugh.
“Pretty fair,” he said, “with my oppor-
tunities. Do you see that jacket?”
“Yes.”
“That is my shore going jacket, that
is,” with a wink. “Here, look at it!”
I complied” It appeared on first
sight to be an ordinary sailor’s pea
coat; but, looking more closely, I
found that inside were dozens of tiny
pockets. At the mouth of each pocket a
small hook was fixed to the lining.
“They are for watches,” he explained,
when he saw that I did not com rehend:
“I get five francs over the price or every
5 one I carry ashore to a. friend of mine—
duty free, you understand.”
I nodded to show that I did under-
stand. “And which is your port for
that?” I said, desiring to say something .
as I turned to ascend.
He touched me on the shoulder, and I
found his face close to mine. His eyes
were glittering in the light of the lamp
that hung by the steam gauge, with the
some expression in them that had so per-
plexed me before dinner. “At Cartha-
genal” he whispered, bringing his face
still closer to mine; “at Carthagena!
Wait a. minute, mate; I have told you
something,” he went on, hoarsely. “I
am not too particular, and, what is
more, I am not afraid! Ain’t you going
to tell me something ”
“I have nothing to tell you!” I stam-
mered, staring at him.
“Ain’t you going to tell me something,
mate?” ho repeated monotonously. His
voice was low, but it seemed to me that
there was a. menace in it.
“I have not an idea what you mean,
my good fellow,” I said, and, taming
away with some abruptness—my eye lit
upon a shovel lying ready to his hand——
I ran as nimhly as I could up the steep
ladder, and gained the deck. once
there I paused and looked down. He
was still standing by the lamp, staring
up at me, doubt and chagrin plainly
written on his face. Even as I watched
him he rounded his lips to an oath; and
then seemed to hold it over until he
should be better assured of its necessity.
I thought no worse of him by reason
of his revelations. In a country where
the head of a. custom house lives as a
prince on the salary of a beggar, smu -
gliug is no sin. But I was angry wit
him, and vexed with myself for the
haste with which I had met his ad—
vances. I disliked and distrusted him.
Whether he were mad, or took me for
, another smuggler —. which seemed the
most probable hypothesis—or had con-
ceived some other false idea of me,
whatever the key to the enigma of his
manner might be, I felt sure I should do
well to avoid him.
Like should mate with like, and I am
not a violent man. I should not feel at
home in a duel, though the part were
played with the most domestic of fire
shovels, much less with a horrible thing
out of a stoke hole.
About half past 10, the San Miguel be-
ginning to roll, I took the hint and went
below. The small saloon was empty, the
lamp turned down. As I passed the
steward’s pantry I'looked in and begged
a couple of biscuits. I am a fairly good
sailor, but when things are bad my policy
is comprised in “berth and biscuits.”
With this provision against misfortune, I
retired to my cabin, luxuriating in the
knowledge that it was a. four berth one,
and that I was its sole occupant.
In truth I came near to chuckling as I
looked round it. I did not need a certain
experience I had had of a cabin three feet
six inches wide by six feet three inches
long, shared with a drunken Spaniard,
to lead me to view with contentment my
present quarters. A lamp in a glass case
lighted at once the cabin and the
outside, and so vo assurance that it
would burn all ght. On my right hand
were an upper and lower berth, and on
my left the same, with ample standing
room between. A couch been led the
side facing me. The sliding pot was
supplemented by a; curtain. I could
hardly believe that‘this was all my own.

to think what it was he won d—what it

How the ship was rolling! Thank
heaven, I was awake or half awake! 'In
my berth at any rate, and not in that
horrible engine room. But how was this?
The other Englishman was; here too,
standing by the dam ," looking at me.
Or—wa's it the other ' “ ? It was
some one who was not smiling, yet some
one too who had a smudged and smutty
face. All the wonderin my mind had
to do with this question. I-‘lay for awhile
in an indolent mood, between sleeping
and waking, watching him. ThenI saw
him reach across my feet to a little shelf
above the berth. .As he drew back some-
thing that was in his hand—the hand that
rested on the edge of my berth—-glitie1"ed,
glittered as the light fell upon it, and,
wide awake, I sprang to asitting posture
in my berth, and cried out with fear.
He was gone in an ' t, and in the
same second of time I was out of bed and
on the floor. A moment’s hesitation, and
I drew aside the curtain, which Was still
shaking. . The passage without was still
and empty. But opposite my cabin and
separated from it only by thoiwidth of the
passage was the door of smother cabin,
which was, or rat“- had been when I
went to bed, unoccupied. Now the cur-
tain drawn across the doom was shalt.
ing, and I scarcely doubted t that the
intruder was behind it. "But; behind it
also was darkness, and 'I was-unarmed,
whereas that upon which; the» light had
fallen in the man’s hand .was either a
knife or a. pistol.
No wonder that I hesitated, or that
discretion seemed'lthe better part of-
valor. To be sure, I might call the stew-

still; and presently]! shivered. The ex.
citemeut was passing away; I began to
feel ill. Withe last fearful glance at the
opposite cabin~had I really soon the
curtain shake? might it not have been
caused by the motion of the ship?—l
drew close my sliding door, and climbed
hastily into my bunk. Robber or no
robber, I must lie still. In a very short
time, what with my qualms and my
drowsiness, I fell asleep.
I slept soundly until the morning light
filled the cabin, and I was aroused
by the cheery voice of the steward,
bidding me "Buenos dias.” The ship
was moving on an even keel again.
Overhead the deck was being swabbetl.
Iopened my little window and looked
out. AsIdidsothe night’s doin rose

his eyes that vignette of blue sea and
gray rocks—gray, but sparkling, gem-l
like, ethereal under the sun of 8 ' ?
Not I, for one. I was gay as a. k,
hungry as a hunter. Sallylng out before
I was dressed, I satisfied myself that the
' opposite cabin was empty and bare, and
came back laughin at my folly.
But when I form that something else
was empty and bare, I thought it no
laughing matter. I wanted a biscuit to
stay my appetite, until the steward
should bring my ”cafe ~complet,” and I
turned to the little shelf over my berth
where- I "had placed them on goingto
bed. There were none there now. Curi-
ous! I had not eaten them. Then it
flushed upon my mind that it was with
this shelf my visitor had meddled. .
'After that I did~not lose'a moment. I
examined my 1 and‘ the pockets
of my clothes:. ' result relieved as
much as it astonished me; nothing was
missing. My armed apparition had car-
ried off two captain's biscuits, and noth-
ing else whatever!

over it. Sleigh did not come near me;

was Sleigh, the engineer!
He passed cl topic. Icouldnotbe
mistaken, thong, he had put 08 his half
slouchlng, half Impndeut air, and was
keenly on the alert, glancing from this
side to that, as if he were following or
searching for some one. For whom? I
was oneofhalfadozen oneseat indeep
shadow. If I were the person he wanted
—and Ihad lee. , at sight of him,lto that
conclusion an cowered down in my
place—he overlooked me and went on.
I sat some time longer after his step
died away in the distance, my thoughts
not altogether pleasant once. But he
did. not- return, and I went up to the
Hotel Bossio prepared toeat an excellent
dinner. ,.
The table d’hote in the big white-
washed room was half finished. I was
late. Perhaps this was why the waiters
eyed me, as I _ k my seat, with atten-
tion; or it might be that the English
were not numerous at 'cante, or not
popular; or, again, it mig t be that some
one—Mr. Sleigh, for example—had been
there making inquiries for a. foreigner:—
bionde, middle sized, and spongy very
little Spanish. Their notice e me
uncomfortable. It seemed as if could
nowhere escape from my old man of the
sea.
Nowhere indeed, for I was to have
another rencontre thatnlght, with which
he may or may not have had to do, but
which must be told because of the
light afterwards thrown upon it.
Returning to m ship along the dark
wharf, I here on there came upon fig-
ures loafing lnthe shadow of holes or
barrels, and, passing them, clutched my
loaded stick more tightly. I got by all
these, however, in safety, and reached
the spot where the ship lay. “San Miguel!
Botai” I shouted, in the approved fashion
of that coast. “San Miguel! Bots!”
The words had scarcely left my lips
the second time when there was 8. rue-
tling close to me. A single footstep
sounded on the pebbles, and the light of
a lantern was flashed in my face. With
an exclamationlrecoiled. AsI did so
two or three men sprang forward. Daz-
zled and taken by surprise, I had only
an indistinct view of aboutmé,
and Iwas on the . fighting or
running, or making an attempt at both
when by good luck the clink of steel
accouterments fell upon my ear. '
By good luck! For they were police
who had stop me, an it ll ill work
resisting the po co in S _ .“What do

best Spanish. “1 our English.”
“Perdone emu, senor,” replied the,
leader, he who held» the 11311 “Will
you have the goodness to show me your
papers?” .
“Con mucho gusto!” I answered, de-
lighted to find that things‘were no worse.
I was going to produce my passport. on
the wot, when the sergeant, with a po-
lite but; imperative “This way!” directed
me to follow him. I did so for a short
distance;adoor was flung open, and I
found myself in a well lighted, barely
furnished ofiice, which I guessed was a
custom liousc post. The officer took his
place behind a desk, and by a gesture of
his cocked hat signified his readiness to
proceed.
I had had to do with the police before,
and should have smiled at the matter
now, but I was aware of a suppressed
excitement in the group around me, of
strange glances which they cast at me,
of a general drawing romfl their chief
as he bent over my passport—things
which seemed to indicate that this was
no ordinary case of passport examina-
tion. Singular, too, was the disappoint-
ment they evinced when they found that
my passport bore, besides the ordinary
vise, the signatures of the vice consul
andalcalde at: Valencia. Of course, as

Th. American Career of a Brigand Who
Was the Terror of Sicily.
The young son of a famous Italian liandit
has met with a. very unromantic fate In New
Orleans. Giuseppe Esposito, man y years ago,
was the bold and successful leader of a band
of brigands in Italy, where his many exploits
had gained for him a Europeans reputation
and invested his name with a terror to all
travelers in the mountains of Sicily.
To the qualities which have been ascribed
to the outlaw in song and story, he added
those of cruelty and bloodthirstincss, and the
unlucky captive who fell into his clutches, if
not redeemed by a ransom, paid the penalty
of his misfortune with his life. The heart-
les Espodi’o pursued his career of robbery
and murder against his fellow countrymen
unchecked, but finally aroused the wrath of
John Bull, an act which has always been haz-
after due notice and proper waiting the stock
of the bandit camp hadnot been increased by
as much as a single piaster on account of the
last adventure. One of the prisoner’s ours was
then sliced OE and forwarded to his friends,
and. thlsin turn was followed by its fellow
useful and ornamental appendage. But by
this time the British government had been
notified, and such a demand made on the
Italian authorities that Esposito’s gang was
quickly dispersed, and he was apprehended
lea, and from New York went to New or
leans. In the latter city he shortly mani-
fested his lofty contempt for honest pursuits
by becoming chief of a society of blackmail-
ers, an occupation hardlyns genteel as the
one behind followed in his nativelund, but
less dangerous.
It was not adventurous enough, though,
and before long he gotta be captain of a.
small coasting vessel, marrying in the mean-
time a pretty young girl of his own race. A
reward was out for him, though, by the
Italian government, and in 1880 Detective
HennNey, now the chief of police of New 0r-
leans, arrested him. He was sent back to
Italy, where he was tried, twice sentenced to
behungand finally sent to prison for life.
The wife was left in New Orleans, with an
infant son of Esposito’s. Last Week she ap-
plied to the mayor to have the boy, Joseph,
and ayounger child placed in an orphan asy-
lum, as she could not support them, and it
was done. Should the news penetrate to the
Sicilian dungeon of Esposito,the reflection
that his childwill at least be comfortably
cared for will lighten a. little his dark and re-
vengeful heart—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Keeping Correct Time.
A simple method of keeping correct time
where wees to standard time is inconvenient
is thus explained: Select two fixed points for
range of observation. If u westerly 'wind
can be chosen which faces any building any-
where more than twenty-five to thirty feet;
distant, we have as good a post; of observation
as we can desire. Drive a. nail or stick a pin
into the window jamb; or, if anything more
substantial is wanted, fix a thin piece of
metal with a very small hole in it to sight
through, in any convenient place, so that you
can observe the time any star sets or sinks
below the roof of the adjacent building, or
whatever may be chosen as the more remote
sight. Then choose some well defined star,
the brighter the better, and with your time-
pieoe set right (to start with) observe the
time it passes the range of your sights. The
exact time, as well also as the date of the ob-
servation, should be recorded, then, to find
out at any subsequent time how much your
watch has varied from correct time, observe
the same star, and recollect that it sets just
3 minutes and 55.90944 seconds earlier on any
given night than it did the preceding night.
Thus, if for our first observation was taken
some night when the star act at 9 hours, 15
minutes and 23 seconds, and at our second
observation, taken just one week later, it set
at 8 hours, 47 minutes and 52 seconds, we
would know that our watch had kept correct
e. If it had set at 8 hours, 45minutes and
seconds, we would know that our watch or
clock had lost two minutes during the week.
And similarly for any other variation. If the
time at whichit had set had been 8 hours, 49
minutes and 52 seconds, we should see that
our watch had gained ominutes, and so
on. If the location of our sights admits of it
we should select a. star 90 dogs, as nearly as
possible, from the pole star, for its apparent
motion will be greater than that of one near
the pole, and the liability of error will be
diminished. If a suitable selection can be
made the error nedl not be more than three
or four seconds, and it will not be accumula-
tive—The locomotive
One Hundred Years from Now.
What will our population be? Who shall
any? The United States today contains over
w,000,000 people, who increase at; the rate of
about 25 per cent. in every decade, so that at
the close of the next century the increment
would have run up to a total of not less than
400, ,000 souls. Take the population of all
the other states and countries as likelyte
cone under our sway and another 400,000,000
will be easilyadded. In the year of cum Lord
WOO, and the year of the Independence of the
United States the 224th, it will be no longer
the United States of North America, but the
nearlya thousand million people. The mind
fails to graspour industrial and commercial
expansion at that day: the wonderful prog-
ress in the am and sciences; the tremendous
energywlth which enterprise after enterprise
will be comeived' and made a reality. And
theuvcon Just think whatcongrem will
be then! But, stop! Better not think. When
we contemplate what it is now, with 400
members, the idea of what it will be with
4,000 is simply appalling.—Petcrsburg We.)

THOSE WHO NEVER SLEEP.
A DETECTIVE ON THE PECULIARI-
TIES OF HIS CALLING.
Bow French. English and American Thief g
Takers, Work Their Pockets—Shmlr-wing
llmnk Clerks—Tho Diner-cm Methods—A
Pew Cases Reclterl.
One of the best known detectives in the
United States sat in the lobby of the Windsor
hotel yesterday afternoon, and after repeated
solicitation by a. reporter for The Times, eon-
seated to talk about the busincm. *
“There is all the difference in the world,” he
said, “between the methods used by the se-
cret service agents of different countries.
People who read French novels have an idea
that the disguises spoken of in them as being
worn by the Lecocqs of the different stories
are something utterly untrue. Strange as it
may seem, however, it is true.
“A French detective who cannot so dis-
guise himself that his superior cannot rccog-'
nize him could not find employment in any,
detective bureau. The disguises are wonder-
ful, too, and even the strong light of day
shows no imperfections in them.
'rns DIFFERENCE IN METHODS.
“There are two sorts of detectives in
France-state detectives and tiio municipal
or city force. Among the former no one.
knows who his fellow detectives are, and as
they never work in pairs the necessity foil
, knowing each other is not so great. -'Tho
working of the French bureau is very thor-
ough and more like the American method
than the English.
“The latter never think of disguising them-
selves, and go to work openly. If a bank is
robbed in France a new assistant teller or
clerk appears in the bank a day or so after-
ward—he is a detective, of course, and where
In England the detectives would be called in
in front of all the employee and ask them all
manner of questions, the French would say
nothing, and nothing more would probably
be heard of the robbery until the thief was
caught.
“The English have a great system of stool
pigeons. Among the vicious of all classes,
male and female, are always those to be
found who, for the sake of being protected in
a certain way, carry all the news of the
crooked work done among the swell mobs-
men, as high clam thieves are called, to Scot-
land Yard, where is situated the criminal in-
vestigations bureau. If ‘Harry the Swell’ is
* flashing a great deal of money about. the
fact is at once reported to the police, and if
any large forgery or robbery has recently oc-
curred, ‘Harry the Sweil’ is liable to prove an
alibi. Inside the great portico of Scotland
Yard is a large case containing the pho-
tographs of all the detectives employed by
the bureau, and the crooks- or thieves can
have free access at any time to study the
faces of those who are liable to be after them
at some future time. This stool pigeon sys-
tem is not used much in America, as the po-
lice do not putmuch faith in it.
“In France or England. if the employee of
a big banking house is suspected of irregular-
ities his habits are watched and the facts as—
eertaiiicd, while in America. a man will be
set upon the truck of the supposed thief, make
his acquaintance and ingratiato himself into
the suspected man’s confidence. He will
spend as much or more money than the sus-
pect, and will go into any dissipation with
him. In the event of irregularities in any
large concern the American detective becomes
an omploye of the corporation—whether as a
porter or a director of a bank. The clew and
the working up of it is made much more of
by an American than by any one else. He
wfll jump at conclusions from a faint some—
thing, and frequently hit the mark, where
the stolid Britisher would be stumbling in
the dark.
“To be a. good detective a. man must he
possessed of courage, brains and coolness.
There is no mystery, however impenetrable
it may appear, but what can be solved if the
right methods are employed. There was a.
case I- remember in Chicago some years ago.
"A well known business man was found
mun-@red one morning in his office. The
crime had evidently been committed the
night before, for the body had been cold it
long time, and the man’s family had waited
for him to come to his home the evening pre-
vious. His valuables had been taken, the
safe had been rifled, and beyond the ghastly
. bullet hole in the back of the man‘s head,
there was nothing to indicate with what tho
' crime bud been-committed. No pistol could
be found. ’
“l was put on the case and reasoned that
as the robbery was evidently committed for
gain the murderer must be in poor circum-
stances. I visited nll the pawn shops in the
city, and found that five revolvers had been
puwned between (3 o’clock the previous even—
ing and the morning. Three were 45 call-
ber, the size evidently used to kill the man.
Two of the men were well dressed and the
other wasn‘t. The latter was described to
mo, and‘I took the pawnbroker down to the
different railway depots where trains were
leaving. We went through three trains, and
finally located the man in a. smoking car. I
arrested him, and much of the dead man’s
property was found in his possession. It‘s
not much of a story—if the man hadn’t
pawned the pistol he would certainly have
got off, but it shows how much little things
amount to, and will give you an idea of how
a detective will go to work.
“Those who are intrusted with the handling
of large sums of money are frequently
watched by detectives, particularly if any
money is missing from the institution. Bunk
clerks are particularly liable to be kept under
surveillance. Not- long ago a leak was known
to exist in one of the banks of this city.
Every clerk was shadowed by a detective un-
til finally' the thief was discovered. His
mother made good his defaiention. and being
‘of good family,’ he was pet-irritated to ‘resign.’
“The life of a detective is startling enough,
but it gets tiresome and monotonous, and I
expect soon to retire. I remember one case
that happened in New York. Avery swell
reception was given by one of the leaders of
society. One of the guests Imd left a valu-
able solitaire in the ladies‘ dressing room on
the washstuud, and, forgetting it, had left it.
On her return to find it, it bad of course dis-
appeared, Nobody knew where it was. The
hunks of all the servants were searched, but .
no trace could be found of the jewel, which
was worth about $4,000. 1 finally found it
where it had been pawned for $500 in a pawn-
shop by a French woman. I took the visit-
ing list of tho hcstess and finally, after a
week’s search, found that one of the guests, a
rich woman, had a French maid, and thatsho
had gone to Europe shortly after the recep-
tion.
“I had to wait. for her return, mado the
acquaintance of the maid, and took her to
the pawnbroker’s where he identified her.
She confessed and her mistress redeemed the
diamonds and paid all expenses. I never told
on her.

The universality of plant worship in the
east in former times is evidenced by the
fierce denunciations found in various parts of
the Bible against the adoration of trees, but
it is somewhat: surprising to find in our own
timesnsystcm of flower worship still kept
up in various parts of Persia. and India. A
recent traveler in [who gives the following
description of flower Worship aspracticed by
the Persians in Bombay: “A true Persian, in
flowing robe-of blue, and on his head asheep
skin hat—black, glossy, curly, the fleece of
Kar-Knl—would saunter in, and stand and
meditate over every flower he saw, and ul-
ways as it half in vision. ‘ And when the
vision was fulfilled, and the ideal flower
he was seeking found, he would spread his
mat and sit before it imtil the setting of the
sun, and then pray before it, and then fold
up his amt again and go home. And the
next night, and night after night, until that
'culal' flower faded away, he would , re-
tumtoit and bring his friends in ever- in-
creasing troops to it, and sit and play the
guitar or lute before it, and they would alto-
gether pray there, and after prayer still Sit
before it sipping sherbet and talking the
most hilarious and shocking scandal late into
the moonlight, and so again and again every
evening until the flower died. Sometimes,
by way of a grand finale, the whole company
would suddenly arise before the flower and
serenade it, together with an ode from Hafiz,
and_depart.”—Folk Lore of Plants.

The old time auctioneer is becoming a rare
character. In the larger cities of the coun-
try time is too precious for him to flourish
under the old style, where a sale was a gala
occasion, and an entire day devoted to the
disposition of a few hundred dollars’ worth
the day every little story telling and non-
sense goes along way, and the sale of thou-
sands of dollars’ worth of goods or property
is accomplished with a celerity and absence
of jest and long winded orations which would
sudden the heart of the'enctioneer of yore.
The auctioneer will exist forever, but the

Do you wonder then that, coming back to
you after an experience of nearly thirty
years in one of these overcrowded profes-
sions, I sound a note of warning against
choosing a profession hastily, and caution
you that, unless you have unusual endow-5
merits and extraordinary luck, no matter
,which profession you may select, you will.
probably find yourselves, in five years, much
, in the condition of the traveler who," coming
‘to certain crossroads where the finger boards
indicated four different roads as loading to
the place which he desired to reach, asked a,
'countrymnn which was the best read“, and,

' fore ye’ve gone moro‘n a mile, ye’ll be denied

you could know, us you will know in ten or
twenty years from now, how many college
educated men have suffered, and will con-
tinue to suirer, shipwreck on the rocks that
lie in the way of a professional wreer, you
would understand why I have felt it tobo
my duty to utter some words of warning for
the benefit of those who have ears willing to
hear.
'rnnv xuvnr. WENT TO COLLEGE.
Do not: misunderstand me. I have no
thought of underestimating tho great advan-
tages'of a college education, for no college
man is likely over to do that; but I do warn
you against the stumbling block of over-
estimating its‘ importance, and of supposing,
as 1:00 many students did in my day, that a.
college diploma isof itself a species of title
of nobility, the open some to fame and for-
tune, and that: its holder, being too well edu-
cated to work. must necessarily adopt some
profession.
Remember that u very large proportion of
the most successful and illustrious men whom
this country has produced were not college
educated men, and some of them did not
even have the advantage of a fair common
~school education. Ten of the twenty-three
presidents of the United States—Washing-
‘ton, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Taylor,
Fillmore, Lincoln, Johnson, Grant and Cleve-
land; two of the chief justices of the supreme
court of the United States—the great John
Marshall and John Rutledge: ten of tho fif-
teen chief justices of the supreme court of .
Pennsylvania; Benjamin Franklin, Patrick
Henry, Henry Clay, Washington Irving,
John Greenleaf Whittier, Horace Greeley,
Thurlow Weed, James Gordon Bennett, John
Sherman, Allen G. Thurman, and hundreds
of others whom I might mention, whose
names are part of tho historyof this country,
had none of the opportunities which you are
enjoying. And probably not one in ten of
the self made millionaires of this country,
thebank presidents. the merchant princes,
the railroad kings, the great financiers, or
the responsible editors of our great newspa-
pers, were ever inside of the doors of a col-
loge];
0 world will not ask whether you have
a diploma, but it will ask what you can do;
and the only way iii :5 you can satisfy it on
that point is to do something that; conclu-
sively demonstrates your capacity.
Superior physical strength is no longer at
a premium, for machinery has to a great ex-
tent taken its place, but intellectual superi-
ority never commanded m high a premium
as it does today. The man who is intellectu-
ally but half an inch taller than his fellow
men is bound to forge to the front. There
never was an age in the history of the world
when there was so good a market for brains,
but they must be the genuine article. The
world is not easily humbuggcd, and the man
who attempts to hoodwink it is bound to
“get left.” It wants scholars, not sciolists;
poets, not poetasters; statesmen. not poli-
eians; inventors, not imitators. It demands,
above all things, originality. It; will he sat-
isfied with nothing less than the very highest
degree of excellence, in scholarship, in me-
chanical pursuits, in business, in literature
and in each of the several professions.
GOOD MATERIAL Ix DEMAND.
But there never was a time when the world
was willing to pay such high prices as it will
pay today for what. it needs. I know law-
yers, doctors and editors with incomes of
from $25,000 to $50,000 a year; but they are
few, and they are worth every dollar that
they get. Popular preachers command sal-
aries that make an average lawyer’s mouth
water. The author who can write books that
will compel people to read them can get
prices the tenth part of which would have
made Homer, Milton and Shakespeare bo—
nanza. kings. Milton received £10 in his life-
time and his widow £3 after his death for
“Paradise Lost." Rider Haggard can today
get $10,000 for a single story of 300 pages, and
our leading magazines have pllltl popular
authors as high as $100 a page. Scores of
college graduates apply in vain every month
for situations on newspapers, but let one of
them write but ton, linemr even a. head line
that indicates real talent for newspaper work,
and he can immediately got a good situation
and can soon command a salary of $5,000. .
The man who wrote Wanamaker-’5 advertise-
ments a few years ago was paid $13,000 a.
year for that work, and any one who can
write equally good rdvertiseinents can easily
get as good 'a salary to-morrow.
But whatever lino of intellectual work you
may resolve to do or whatever profession you
may adopt, remember that the secret of suc-
cem consists in doing thoroughly whatever
you attempt, and in doing it better than any
one else has ever done it. No man over sue.
ceeded greatly in businem, or politics, or lit-
erature; in law, or medicine, or preaching, in
any other way. (,lenlus is the happy faculty
of selecting the particular kind of work for
which onois specially fitted; of doing only
that which one can do bat, and doing it to
the utmost measure of one’s ability, There
is no such thing as genius which can accom-
‘ plish great results without work. The story
of it isn fairy tale, which self conceit tells
as an apology for indoleuce and incapacity.
Believe me, the world is not waiting for
your graduation to crown you with laurel
wreaths, or to lay the ti'L'i'isul‘cfi of fortune at
your feet. Whatever measure of success you
may achieve must be won by patient toil and
preeminent merit.
The only person whom this age has no
room for is the non-producer; but there
never can be a surplus or III‘L‘fld winners or of
brain workers who are worthy of the name.
