THE MICROSCOPE AS A DETECTIVE
In Germany, some years ago, it was dis
covered by the authorities of railway
that barrel which, on being dispatched
from station contained silver coin, had
during the journey to Its destination, been
emptied of its contents and filled with
sand. For some time no clew to the per-
petrator of the robbery could be discover
ed; but at length learned professor, hav
ing been consulted on the subject, called
in the aid of the microscope. The profess
sor went to work on the track at once
He, knowing that, even in the very minu-
test degree, there was distinct difference
in the sand found near the various stations
along the railway line, sent for samples of
it from each of the places through which
the train containing the silver coin had
passed. With the microscope he then
carefully examined each sample, compared
it with the sand in the barrel, and thus
identified the station from which the lat
ter had been procured. Having in this
ingenious manner found out the station
he wanted, little difficulty remained; for
the railway servants employed at it, by
one of whom the robbery had been co m
mitted, we're so few in number that the
culprit was readily detected. In this I'm.
genious manner the thief was found.

A True Story.

In the middle of stormy night recently
the pastor of Methodist church in one of
the poorest districts in the city of New
York heard his bell ring violently. Hur
rying to the door, he found young woman
apparently in the last stages of consump-
ton, supported by stout Irish servant.
She sank down on the threshold at his feet
as he opened the door. With the aid of the
servant he carried her into the house and
laid her tenGerly on the sofa in his study.
She was drenched with the storm and in
great physical agony. Death was near at
hand.
"What can do for your" he asked.
'sPray for me! Oh, my God, pray for
mel" she cried.
''She's from Mrs. Brooks, said the Irish
girl, naming one of the vllest dens in New
York. 'They've turned her out on the
street to die, an she would come here to
get your reverence to pray for her."
The good man kneeled and prayed. Sure
ly God heard the prayer. She was great
sinner, and she was dying. But the thief
and the Magdalene had come to Christ
and had been forgiven.
She died before morning, and the min
lister was told her story. Just four years
had passed since she stood in this very
study of the little Methodist parsonage
gay, innocent girl-to be married.
But she was fond of dress, of balls and
admiration. Her husband was a quiet,
Flooding mechanic, and her home did not
satisfy her. She futtered from one folly
to another until at last she left HIM.
For two years she had been in the hor.
rible den from which she had come to the
parsonsge, at first beautiful, admired and
flattered. But when she became i'll and
burden, she was thrust into garrett
piled with whiskey instead of medicine
| and at last brutally abused, was turned
out to die in the street.
In this last flicker of her wretched life
her heart went back to her bright marriage
day, and to the kind face of the man of
God who had blessed it. She dragged her
self to his feet, cried to him to pray to Goo
for mercy and forgiveness for her sirs, and
so had died.

Come and See Me.

Never take "Come and see me'' as a
phrase meant in earnest, unless 1t is ac-
companied with date. Such an invita-
ton amounts to nothing at all. If a lady
or gentleman desires your company he or
she will appoint time for your visit.
"Call on me when you can make it conve-
nlent;" ''Drop in as you are passing"
make up visit when you have an hour
or two to spare" are social antiquities by
which men and women of the world un-
understand that they are not expected to
do the thing requested. When people
wish to be cheaply polite there is nothing
like this sort Of vagueness. The compli-
mentary small change of society must al
ways be taken at large discount. 1t is
never worth its face. or anything like it.
Yet it is convenient medium of exchange
and heavy debts of gratitude that ought
to be required in better coin are often paid
with it. People that have more polish
than principle use it lavishly-plain, blunt,
honest men, sparin5ly or not at all. Who
ever makes friendly visit to fashiona-
BILE house on the strength of mere Come
and see me'' will very often find that the
family circle he has dropped into by re-
quest is as ancongenial as the Attic circle.
He will probably leave it with a chilly
feeling that will prevent him from ventur-
ing into the same high latitude again. But
when whole-souled man, whom you know
to be your friend, grasps you vigorously
by the hand and says. "Come home and
dine with me to-day-dinner on the table
at five o'clock-.be sure to come-shall ex-
pect you,' you can take it as certain that
your presence is warmly desired. It is
pleasant to make or receive visit from a
friend. but a nod on the street is enough
from fashionable acquaintance.

A FLOATING FIELD.-In Colorado is q
ten acre field, which is simply subterra-
mean lake covered with soil about eighteen
inches deep. On the soil is cultivated a
field Of corn which produces thirty BUSH
els to the acre. If any one will take the
trouble to dig hole to the depth of a
spade handle lie will find that it will fill
with water, and by using hook and line
fish five or six inches long may be caught.
The fish have neither scales nor eyes, and
are perch-like In shape. The ground is a
black mari in nature and in all probabili-
ty was at one time an open body of wa
ter, which accumulated vegetable matter,
which has Increased from time to time,
until now it has crust sufficientlysstrong
and rich to produce fine corn. although 1t
has to be cultivated by hand, as it is not
strong enough to bear the weight of a
horse. While harvesting, the hands catch
great strings of fish by making a hole
through the earth. A person rising on his
heels and coming down suddenly can see
the gro wing corn shake all around him.

The LENGTH OF HUMAN LIFE.-Rea-
soning from analogy, men ought to live
for century, as it seems to be a general
law in the animal creation that life should
be five times the period required for
growth. Many of the insect tribe mature
and and fructify in an hour and die before
the close of the day. A dog grows two
years and lives for eight; an OK grows for
four years and lives sixteen; horse grows
for five years and lives twenty five; camel
grows for eight and lives for forty a man
grows for twenty years and should live to
one hundred. It is recognized fact in
physiology that the longer child IS get
ting its full growth The longer it will live,
EARLY ripe, early rot,' is almost q prov.
erb. Children who grow rapidly are al.
ways weakly. In France the rich men
average twelve years of life longer than
the poor. Observation in all civilized
countries shows that the well-to-d live
eleven years longer than those who have
to work for their daily bread. Tho Sc who
can afford to work leisurely indoors out
live those who have to work hard out of
doors, by ten or fifteen years; and if there
was 40 Sabbath it is very clear that the
poor would not live as long as thew do
now.

A FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE.-On last
Thursday morning, John Alternately
brought monster eagle into town, which
he had killed on his place, four miles from
Forsyth, the day previous. He had gone
to field to work. carrying his little son,
two and'a half years of age, with him.
1t happened that he had his shot gun in
his hands, thinking that he would need it
to Kill game. Suddenly he heard a sound
in the air, which he describes as equal to
the roaring of the wind, and saw large
shadow OH the ground. Looking up he
saw huge bird sWooping down upon his
son. AS quick as possible he raised his
gun and fired, and was fortunate enough
to bring the eagle to the ground. He pick
ed him up and started homeward, carry
ing the bird on his shoulder. Suddenly the
eagle buried his talons in his right arm
and seized his left with his beak. Mr.. Alb
ernathy called for help, and some neigh
bors, four in number, came to his assist
ance. 1t required their united efforts to
release the bird from his firm hold. When
relieved he found that his arm was badly
lacerated, the flesh being torn from the
bone in several places. The beak was sunk
to the bone in the right hand. The eagle
measured seven feet and four inches from
tip to tip. and weighed seventeen and
one half pounds. He was never seen in
the neighborhood before, and it is proba-
BILE be strayed from the coast Mr.. Aber-
nathy says his strength was prodigious.-
He would have readily carried off the lit
tie boy had it not been that his father was
fortunately armed with a gun.-Monroe

TEACHING HER YOUNG TO SI-Ne~--A
wren built her nest in a box on a New
Jersey farm. The occupants of the farm
house saw the mother teach her your Q to
sing. She sat in front of them and sang
the whole song very distinctly. Ore of
the young attempted to initiate her. AT.
ter proceeding through a few not es its
voice broke and it lost the time. The
mother Immediately recommended where
the young one had failed, and WEI 1t very
distinctly through the remainder The
young bird made a second attem pt, COM
mencng where it had ceased be fore, and
continuing the song as long as il was able;
and when the note was agaiIl lost the
mother began anew where it stopped, and
completed it. Then the young one resum-
ed the tune and finished it. This done, the
mother sang over the whole ser les of notes
second time with great precision, and
second of the young attempted to follow
her. The wren pursued the same course
with this one as with the first; so with the
third and fourth. This was repeated day
after day, until each of the young birds be-
came perfect songster.
