10 extract testimony In the Babcock case from
the District Attorneys office. Witness had been

He placed them In box and deposited them In

body was allowed to do that in the absence Of
Col Dyer; Bell excused himself by saying that
he vas hunting for q match to light his cigar
with.
bell, room after the proposition to furnish this
Information, delivered TO him the cipher and
Bradley letter. After the trial he returned them
to Bell, and has not seen them since, except as
produced In the New York Herald. These
papers were not produced till near the end of the
trial. The reason they were not read in evidence
was because
LUCKEY WAS SUMMONED
there for the Government, and was finally
claimed as o witness for the defense. At
consultation between the witness and his asso-
ciates, Brodhead and Eaton as to the advisabIlIry
Of calling Bell as wItnessit was decided to wait
till Luckey was put upon the stand, and then
produce Bell in rebuttsl II was understood that
Bradley was there also, called BY the defense,
and IL was intended that Bell should not be
brought In rs witness-in: chief. Had the prosecu-
call Luckey, they would have brought Bell for
ward and used him in chief.
Bell, who was in the room, asked Colonel Dyer
whether it was because OF his supposed unrelia-
bility that he was not put upon the stand.
Colonel Dyer answered that when he told him
Attorneys ofice, he did not look upon him as q
witness he wanted to tic TO without corroborstivs
evidence, and he did not believe much In him till
he got all the papers. Bat If Luckey had been
called, he would certainly have put Bell on the
stand In rebuttsl.
Bell then ssEed Dyer il in such cases extraor.
dirar means are necessary to get evidence.
Colonel Dyer said he was not in that kind Of
business, ard did not feel competent to answer
the question. He never found It necessary either
as prosecuting lawyer or otherwise,
TO RESORT TO Such MEANS,
either to purchase the abstraction or suppression
Of evidence, or any such violent and Questionable
tactics. That was lot his way Of conducting
business. Col. Dyer said that Bells testimony
was substantially correct far as he had seen Il
printed in the Washington Star, and so far as II
referred to him. Bell was, however, incorrect In
locating the conversation at the District Attor-
neys ofice. 1t took place at the house OF LucIen
Eaton, one Of his associate counsel.

Shop Girls in Boston.

SPEAKING Of shop girls, Miss Col
Inns says: From the books of fore
men in different establishments in this
city it appears that Of every 100 shop
girls fifty live at home, and the re-
mainder in boarding-houses OF in lodg-
ing-houses. Twenty-Five of those who
live at home are assisted by reduction
of board, care in sickness, etc. Thir-
teen help to support others. Thus the
advantages of living at home are sub
stantially recognized and rewarded.
She estimates the whole number of
shop girls in Boston at 10000, and she
gives a list of seventy distinct occupa-
tions in which they are engaged. From
statistics obtained from Dr.. II. F.
Damon, admitting physician of the
City Hospital, she shows that the
whole number of women admitted to
the hospital during the past nine years
was 9,l19, classified as follows: Do
meStics, 1903; cooks, 1874; houSekeep-

Longevity of Brain-Workers.

THAT great thinkers and hard BRAIN
workers are long lived is asserted, with
a considerable array of facts, in vol
ume by DR.. Beard. He presents a list
of some 500 of the most eminent names
in history, including number like
Pascal, Mozart, Keats and others who
died young, and finds the average OF
the 500 to have been over slXty-four
years. AS this is far beyond the aver
age of farmers, mechanics and buSl'
ness men, he concludes that the wear
and tear of brain work is not SO ex-
hausting as is commonly supposed, and
that it rarely shortens life. The Lon
don Spectutoz, however, reviewing this
theory maintains that excessive men,
tai toll must shorten life, and did evil
IDENTIFY shorten it in the case OF many
of the 800 cited; but they had origin
ally more vigorous constitutions and a
large amount Of vital force, and, by
virtue Of this superior vitality which
explains in part, also, their superior
brain power, they were able to con-
tinue hard work even to old age, be-
fore breaking down under the pres
sure; though the same vital force
would have prolonged life for many
years if they had not exhausted it
prematurely.

Metals of all sorts are valuable

especially iron in its various forms of

valuable than the IRON Horses shoes

they furnish peculiarly tough iron,
used for making the famous stub-twist

Old Woolen rags are very valuable,
as they 90 to make the famous shod-
dy, of which we have heard so much.
All the old clothes of Europe, when
past reviving, greasy to saturation,
and in tatterS in fact, and past all de-
cent wearing, come ultimately to Bat
ley in Y Yorkshire, where in the shoddy
factories, by means of huge cylinders
studded with teeth, they are reduced
to their original fiber, and re-enter life
in combination with newly-Woven
wool. These old rags are equal to a
contribution Of $4,000 tons Of this
material. By means of this introduc-
tion of the old to the new stuff, a
score of fabrics have been introduced
which clOthe the poor and the low
er middle class. If it We're not for
this re-introduction of once perfectly
waste material, woolen clothing weuld
be so costly as to exceed the means of
the working population. 1t has been
the custom Of late to mix WOOlen with
cotton in the production Of what is
termed union goods. This mixture for
a time puzzled the manufacturers, as
the combined material could not be
safely treated. The plan lately adopt
ed is to put fresh fabrics into closed
receiver, and to heat them with steam
at high temperature. BY this means
the cotton is preserved in a clean con-
ditiOn for paper-making, and the wool
is reduced to that great fertilizer, the
ulmate of ammonia.
All greasy rags, such as dishclouts,
those employed by engineers in the
cleansing of machinery, minister to
curious purpose. They are past even

How to Read.

Do NOT lay out Il detailed course
of reading" Probably you would not
follow it, and the moral effect of max
ing plan and giving it up is injuri-
Gus. But there is another reason for
my advice. When you become inter-
eSted in subject, then is the time to
follow it up, and read everything you
can get hold of about it. What you
read when thus keenly interested you
will remember and make Your own,
and that is the secret of acquiring
knowledge: to study a thing when
your mind is awake and eager to know
more. No matter if it leads YOU away
from the books with which you set
out, and if it sends you to another
subject, SO that you never again open
the original book, so much the better;
YOU are eager. you are learning, and
the object of reading is to learn, not
to get through certain number Of
books.

feature of the huge mart is the woman
who accOstS you. Turn which way
you will, you are accOsted bya woman
generally young woman, some
times pretty woman, but always a
woman who is determined to entice
you into some particular stall that you
may purchase there the bonnet or the
dress OF the other article you are in
search of. She is very much in ear
nest, is this woman, and she talks
with a vOluble Self-aSsertion that is,
to the last degree, trying; sometimes
she goes SO far as to seize hold of your
garments in her efforts to detain you !;
but her tongue never ceases its clatter.
This is the barker. She is in force at
the Temple Market. As you prone
made through the curious place, she
assails you at every step;your ears are
stunned with her noise; your dignity
is ruftled by her familiarity of ap-
proach; your nerves are vexed with
the perpetuity of her-for the instant
you pass the territory of one you are
pounced apon by another, and it will
be a strong test of the amiablllty OF

IF YOU LOVE ME.

If YOU love me. tell me not:
Let me read it in your thought;
Let me feel it in the way
That you say me yea and nay;
Let me see 1t IN your eye
When you greet or pass me by;
Let me hear it in the tone
Meant for me and me alone.
If you love ne, there will be
Something only shall see;
Meet or miss me, stay or 90,
If you love me, shall know.
Something in your tone will tell,
Dear, love you, love you we'll
Something in your eyes will shine
Fairer that they look in mine.
In your mien some touch of grace,
Some swift smile upon your face
While you speak not, will betray
What your lips could scarcely say.
In your speech some silver word,
Tuning into sweet accord
All your bluntness, will reveal,
Unaware, the love you feel.
If you love me, then, l pray,
Tell me not, but, day by day,
Let love silent on me rise,
Like the sun in summer skies.
