Deceived in Loves Name.

When O woman wants to deceive q
man she is inclined to deceive him by
feigning love for him. The reason she
would probably assign for this is that
by such feigning she can blind his
judgment and suppress his. common
sense. A feminine detective has been
practicing this ruse upon another
{aascal;He} detective il the West. ard
with entire success. Sho is named
Nellie Mcpherson; has been some time
employed by the Commercial agency
at st. Joseph, Mo. is about thirty, tall =,
slender, has dark hair and eyes, is at
tractive in person, and has most engag-
ing manners. Some time since divers
Western railways, the Chicago and
Rock Island, and Burlington and
Quincy among others, found that Il
great many counterfeit local tickets on
their roads had been put in circulation,
and they employed Detective Murray,
OF Chicago, to discover the couaterfeit-
ers. He entered on tho work, apparent
~, with much eagerness. expressing
confidence that he could soon trace out
the guilty; but he really made no
progress. Then the corporations on
gagged Nellie to assist him, and she did
assist him vigorously. In few weeks
she had reason to suspect him OF the
crime, but, in order to blind hiA to her
suspicion, she pretended to have fallen
madly III love with him. The pretenso
whoedled him completely, and in n
short time she had. collected over
whelmi4g evidence against him. She
set a trap for hiGa, he fell into it, and
she caused his arrest ut Chicago
hotel, while he WIS waiting for senti-
mental interview. He is now in all,
complaining that he can endure discoy.
cry and disgrace; but to be betrayed i'll
the sacred name of love wounds his
tenderest sensibilities to the core. lie
may commit fresh crime again when
ever he can; but he can never smile
again never, never, never. Tho

the holy emotions are concerned, can
not be OWNED by ordinary mortals.-

would have laid it on to him if hal

Our three Nuate Indians wanted very
much to thrash him, but We ordered
then away. After keeping him bound
for a few hours, Rathesban cut the
cords and pointed up the crock. The
old savage took the hint, and walked
sullenly away.

Ten Minutes Delay.

All well-informel people are familiar
with the sad account Of the death of
tie young Prince Napoleon, who fell,
pierced by nineteen assagai wounds at
the hands of the Zulus, III South Africa,
June l, 1879.
Many will remember that Capt.
Carey, in his published report, men,
toned that, after they had selected tho
camping. ground-the object for which
the squad of six had been Ietailed-and
had had coffee and rested, that he sug-
gested that they should reIount and
return to camp. But the young Prince,
who commanded the squad. said,-
No, lets wait ten minutes
Just as they were preparing to re-
mount, ut the expiration of that ten
minutes, o body of Zulus came Oh
them, and all fed but the Pfinca,
whose horse broke from him. After a
desperate resistance, he fell, covered
with wounds, aud died "in the tall
grass of the douga."
presume ali do not know that this
pleading for ten minutes delay was Il
habit of thesyoung Prince from early
childhood.
A correspondent "i leadiag Paris
journal interviewed tho Empress re-
Gently, as she WAS on the eve Of depart
ure for the scene OF the tragedy that
had wrecked all her earthly hopes, and
drew her into conversation on the sub
! jcct Of her son.
She talked freely during the utter
view, bat with an evident anguish of
spirit, which seemed only the more sad
from her effort a. control.
During this intorvlcS, while speaking
! of the childhood OF hrr son, the Pence,
shs. unconsciously ;evcaled the trait III
his character that has caused all this
woe to her, wrccEsl hopes and "A
broken heart; to him, the probable loss
OF IL throne, an earthly future and his
! life.,
After describing hor rs still lovely in
her lonely grief, the writer from whom
We quote said: 1.-THE Empress had now
risen, and stool slightly trembling
with emotion, when, stepping rapidly
and gracefully acr,ss the room, she
opened cabinet from which she
took a pocket-book and roa therefrom
on leaf, Going With Clrey the last
words ever written by HE Prince; then
she added
So OF all that Capt. Carey has ever
written i'll regard to my son, those tataI
ten minutes, alone 1 hold to be true"
"She then spoke in terms of bitter
reproach of Capt. Carey's course in for
saking her son. and then striving after
wards to cast blame on his memory
for continued she, it Was ever his
habit to plead for ten Elinutes' delay
so much go that used to tell him they
ought to call him Monsieur Dix
Minutes 1t was always just ton min
utes more, mornings, to slccp; ten min-
utes moro at night to sleep in his chair
and when too niue Ii overcome with sleep
to speak, he would holl up his two
little hands, the ten fingers representing
tho ten minutes more for which he
pleaded.

deadly foe to all prosperity in temporal
or moral affairs. Do every duty us

Hygienic ReversiOn.

Qualities in animals which are the
result of breeding tend to die out-that
is, the animal rcverts to his earlier and
longer established characteristics. The
mustangs Of Mexico are descendants of
domesticated horses, which, having
wandered from the Spaniards, grad
ually reverted to their primitive type.
The shorter the time in which new
qualities have been cultivated, tho
stronger the reversional tendency.
1t Is somewhat the same hygienically.

operating within his ancestors had al
ways been on the side Of physiological
soundness.
Ii such one were attacked with dis
eases from some external cause, his

order and revert to its woat"d state.
This tendency to revert is weakened
in proportion to tho number of ances-
tors in whom morbid causes have opera

many generations, it has become an &C
cumula.ed force, aud can be extirpatcd
from the family blood only by unre-

generations. If it has come to one

cy is weak, and is easily kept in alloy.

As q general thing, the sick tend to
get well; for the average of Inherited
vital forces exceeds that of the morbid.
The vital forces thus preponderate
from age to age because the less vigor.
Gus die early, leaving those to perpet-
uate tho race in whom these forces have
accumulated for numberless genera

Where morbid qualities Inherited

drawback to success. Mediocre people
