PHOTOGRAPHY As AN AID TO TINE
PoLIcE.-There is q sre tsl branch
of the Paris police who are photo
graphers in uniform, and place 10
set aside at the station for stadiO
and dark closet. In cases of mnr--
der It Is the duty of the police pho.
tographers to photograph the sceae
of the deed, and also to- record by
the assistance Of the camera the posi-
ton of the victim. Several ffrstsn-
ecs Of orgery upon notes and bonds,
in which the original figures were
erased and others written in their
place, haze been discovered by the
use OF the camera. In photographs,
ink marks which are Invisible TO
the eye are frequently reproduced,
while an erasure, let it be ever 50
carefully smoothed over, becomes
apparent. In a word, it is next to
impossible to make an alteration
in the matter OF writing or printing
upon paper surface without the
photographer finding it out. Even
upon the subject of style in hand-
writing, the camera gives a sharp
criterion. By photographing a word
or two, and enlarging the mp and
down strokes to very wide dimen-
sions, the character of the writing
is more easily studied than in it's
original form. This instrumentality
is sometimes used by inguisitive
police agents anxious to- get at tire
history of doubtful document. -

Too FUNNY FoH ArtHING.-SoHe
time ago there was a dancing par
ty given in q certain neighbofhood
in Texas, and most of the ladies'
present had little babies, whose
noisy perversity required to mitch
attention to permit the mothers TO
enjoy the dance. A number OF
gallant young men volunteered to
mind the young ones while the pa
rents indulged in an old Virginia
breakdown. No sooner had the
women left the babies ia charge Of
the mischievous fellows than they
stripped the babies, changed their
clothes, giving the apparel of one
to another. The dance over, 1t was
time to go home, and the mothers
hurriedly took each a baby in ths
dress of her own and started, some
to their homes, ten or fifteen miles
off, and were far on their way be-.
fore daylight. But the day follow.
ing there was a tremendous row in
the settlement. Mothers discover
ed that a single night had changed
the sex of their babies, observation
disclosed o physical phenomena.
and then commenced the tallest fe-
male pedestriapism. Living miles
apart, it required two or three days
to unmix the babies, and as MANY
months 10 restore the mothers to
their natural sweet disposition
To this day it is unsafe tor any cne
of the baby mixers to venture into
the neighborhood.- Waco (zeras)
