In 1852. Monsieur Paul Sancon was
accounted one of the smewdest and
most successful financiers of France.
He was a man of about thirty-fve,
well educated and of respectable fam
lily. His wife was very beautiful
woman, some years his junior and re-
puted to be wealthy. They had three
children, who were being educated in
England under the care of Mime. San
cons maiden sister. Mons. Sancon
lived in elegant style, but without os-
tentatlon or extravaganza, and alto
gether within his supposed means. He
had counting-room in his dwelling
and confidential clerk, and much of
his most important business was trans
acted there.
The narrative which is about to be
related begins on the 10th Of Novem-
Der in the year named.
Early III the evening Of that day,
Mons. SancOn informed his wife that
he had important business which called
him from home, and would detain hiln
probably until midnight. He request
ed his clerk, Montalon, to remain at
his post until his return, and about
nine o'clock quilted the house.
Almost Immediately afterward,
Nine Sancon also left her residence,
on foot.
Soon after eleven O'Clock she re-
turned, and learning that her husband
was still absent, she retired to her
apartment.
Half an hour later, Mons. Sancon
arrived and went at once to his private
room. The scene that awaited him
there was tragic one. The clerk,
Montalon. lay on the floor. weltering
in blood which still ooZed from a
wound in the throat, and from score
OF horrible gashes in the face. The
large safe was open and the contents
were scattered over the floor. A hasty
glance revealed the fact that a large
sum of money and valuable securities
were missing.
Mons. Sancon quickly summoned an
attendant, and dispatched him with
information of the crime which had
been perpetrated to the Chief of Police
In short time that functionary and a
number Of police were at the house in
vestigating the matter.
\ haSty examination of things
showed that at about ten O'Clock that
night a stranger called at the house
and inquired for Mons. Sancon. On
being informed that he was not at
home he requested to see the clerk, and
was thereupUn admitted. In less than
quarter OF an hour he departed,
without exciting suspicion on the part
OF servant who opened the door. This
man was described as about forty
years of age, with full black beard and
lair, above the medium height, and
inclined TO be stout. He wore wide
bflmned. lOW-Crowned hat, capa.
clous military cloak and heavy boots.
lie spoke in low, deep voice, and
with foreign accent.
Examination showed that 700. OOO
francs drawn that day by Mons. san
con for transmission to Neyers. for the
payment of men employed in the con.
structlon of q railroad, had been ab.
stracted from the safe. \ large amount
III bonds and securities was also Miss

value. which had been deposited witt

average of seyenty-one bushels to the

A Necedah, Wisconsin, cranberry firm
has about five hundred Indians en-
ployed picking berries. They are good
berry pickers, but the farmers in that
section complain terribly about raids on
their potato and corn fields.
The building of metallic railway cars
has been In course of experiment for some
time. Steel freight cars are suggested,
as they are far less in weight than those
constructed of wood, thus saving wear
and tear of the tracks. 1t is claimed that
steel car can be made, weighing no
more than seven tons, that will carry
twice that weight in freight. If the trucks
are of steel car of ten tons weight can
be made that will carry twenty-five tons
OF freight. The construction of these
vehicles is also stronger and more durable
than the wooden cars. Already many
iron coal cars are in use.

How Bread-crusts Are Used i'll

''What becomes of the old moons

Atens of their transformations, The
boulnnqer en- vieor,, freely translated,
% baker of DID," utilizes the pieces o
dry, damaged and abandoned bread. He
gathers the crusts in boarding g-hOuses
converts and hotels. These mOrsels
covered with sand, stained with ink and
often picked from heaps of refuse, are
sold by servants to the @ Baker OF Old, %
who turns them into new preparations.
The merchandise is first carefully sorted
out. The fragments which are judged
to be still in presentable condition are
dried in an oven and form eroUtes a" pot,
which are used up in soup at low-class
restaurants. Almost all the lozenge-
shaped crusts served in dishes Of vege-
tables have this origin. The crumbs and
defective crusts are pounded in mortar
until they become a white paste, which
butchers use to adorn outlets. All the
material that appears absolutely lncaP-
able of further service is then roasted,
reduced to charcoal, ground into powder
and, by the addition of few drops OF
essence of mint, is converted into a tooth
paste. Such is one of the metamorphoses

Restraints of Civilization.

The proper method of civilizing the
Indian, in the belief of Catholic mis-
sionary, Father Raveille, who has long
lived among the Sioux, is to learn his
tastes and then lead him toward civiliza.
tion by ways that do not too harshly
cross those tastes. 1t is necessary to
break up the tribal organization, stop
their wandering from place to place, and
protect them when they are trying to be-
come farmers. The nomad instinct is
strong. Father Raveille relates this an
ecdote: Gone bitter cold night, while
was with the Sioux up near tFe Canada
line, a well>known chief, named Left
Bear, came into my hut. 1 said to him
Look at me here in this room, Left
Bear. See what civilization can do
The wind on the prairies is sharp; the
snow is deep, but here is a stove that
warns the air. Here is a bed, where l
can sleep and not freeze. Here is my
table, with books so / can read and learn.
Is this not much better than roaming
about without a home p He repeated
all these advantages approvingly. But,
said he, with a splendid air about him,
you are not free. You cannot put your
house on your back and go to some new
place when you want a change"

Charleston g. G. and West India
Trade.

If the Charleston papers are not over
enthusiastic as 10 the possibilities for
development of foreign trade, we should
Judge that the merchants of that port
have only to 20 to work in good earnest
in order to secure a good proportion, if
not full as much of West India commerce
as it had previous to the war. 1t is pro-
posed that a line Of steamers shall run
from Charleston to st Augustine and
thence to Nassau and Havana. During
the winter the travel southwark is always
large, and, as the steamers will make the
run in less time than the trains and will
be far more comfortable it seems to be the
opinion that passengers to Florida, as well
as to the Bahamas and Cuba, will prefer
to 90 by water Charleston, the local
journals hold, will be able to supply St.
Augustine and Nassau with provisions of
various kinds, and the steamer on the re
turn trip will bring back molasses, wreck
material and fruits, beside passengers.
The lowest estimates make out a large
profit upon the capital invested, so that,
on its face, the project seems worthy of
support From all accounts ready capital
is all that is needed to start the enter

moment out of reach.

Keeping VegetabIes in Winter.

There are a few general rules which
should be well understood, and which if
understandingly applied will enable
those who raise their own vegetables to
keep them in good condition, in nearly
all instances, much longer than is often
done. These rules are:
1. To keep them cool without freezing,
and without alternating changes of tenn
perature.
3 If they dry up and shrivel (as beets
and parsnips), apply by external means a
certain amount of moisture.
3. If they do not shriveI, but rot as
potatoes and squashes), let the air which
surrounds them be dry and cold.
These rules may be easily and readily
applied in various cases. Potatoes, for
example, dry very slowly, but are liable
to rot, and they may, therefore, be sub
iected to moderate currents of air, in a
cool place Light should be kept out to
prevent their becoming green aud bitter.
If rot attacks them, it may be checked
by repeatedly dashing on cold water,
which makes them clean, aud by evapors-
tion cools them. If on lattice bottom
both drainage and the admission of air
will be Effected.
Turnips beets and parsnips, unlike
potatoes, dry up soon if exposed to air.
When intended for kitchen use, and not
for stock, they may be packed in fire
moss or damp sswdust, which will keep
them in good condition for many months.
1t s.wdust is used ii should be in mod.
crate sized boxes, to prevent heating.
Pumpkins and squashes may be keep
long time in dry chat, with temper
ature as low as practicable without ac-
tual freezing. If the mass of chaff is
thick, they will not freeze in barn.

Mound Builders Relics.

One of the most important discoveries
been made in this state was made yester-
day morning by some wOrkmen who were
digging a cellar on South hill, near
Boundary street. After the workmen
were confident they had upearthed some
Indian antiquities, several members of
the Burlington archaeological society
were notified and the search was contin-
ued under scientific auspices. They
first unearthed a stone axe, rudely fash
ioned, but unmistakably a stone axe,
which was greeted with cheers and excite
ment. Then they turned up flat stone
and found in little recess copper knife,
a broken earthen jar and stone mortar,
which we're brought out into the light of
day from the solemn mystery and dark
ness where they had lain for ages, and
the secretary of the club Immediately
sent off despatch to the president and
to the Smithsonian institution. Then
they found stone pipe, and the archeo-
logical society sang a hymn and fell on
each others necks and wept, and de
spatches were sent to Dubuque and
Davenport. Then they rolled away
great boulder that appeared to cover the
entrance to a kind of crypt, and they
found nickel, street car check and a
copy of the Hawkeye of day before yes
terday. And then, somehow, the inter
est in the exploration kind of died out
like, no more dispatches were sent and
the society adjourned without benedic
tion.-BrhngtOn Ha'Ckeye.

Ridiculous, But rrue.

During the autumn of 1912, ! was in
Algiers. and one pleasant day, l Joined
a party of French officers in jaunt into
the back country. The distance from
the coast--or from the city OF Algiers-
to the northernmost sweep of the Atlas
mountains, is not quite twenty miles,
and thitherward we took our way to see
the sights. Ny particular object was to
see the 7IistrIet whence cigIne tie cInes
supply ofgum Arabic. On the first night
out, we found quarters with Peola
peasant, whose household was far from
repulsive or unpleasant.
On the following morning, we found
our host preparing to 90 to the forest.
He said he was going to examine his
monkey trars. +Three of US went with
him and the first trap we visited held a
monkey, whose facial contortiCus and
sharp chattering and screaming, as we
approached, were frightful. And what
do you suppose that trap was How
was the monkey caught? will tell you.

by a strong cord was a gourd, the shell
of which was tough, strong and intact,
saving a small round hole on one side
Within this gourd the peasant had placed
a small quantity Of huts, of which the
monkey is very 'ond. Well, the monkey
discovers the gourd in a strange position,
and he investigates. Very soon, he de-
termines that some of his favorite nuts
are within. Aha here is a treat. The
hole is just large enough to admit his
hand he feels the nuts, and in his eager
ness to make a good thing of it, he
gathers up all he can grasp. But when
he tries to withdraw his hand, it does
not come forth Closed with a gill of
nuts in its grasp, the hole is not half large
enough to let it out. Poor avaricious
wretch he can not surrender his prize
pr, at all events, so eager to secure it is
he that the idea of letting go never
enters his head And there he remains,
and growing, vainly trying to
get his hand free with the prize in pos
session. And so it is until morning
until the man who exposed the bait
comes and takes both gourd and monkey.
He is very angry, and anon looks very
crest-fallen and foolish; but there is no
help for it.
