pcrils of Lake Michigan.

Lake Michigan Is more pcrlous to the
navigator than any other or the great
Northern lakes. This is owing partly
to its lack Of convenient harbors and
shcltcrng islands or headlands, and
partly to the peculiar suddenness and
great violence of the gales that Swccp
it, particularly in tho spring and ali-
tumn. Both these causes Of frequent
Shipwrccks arc particularly manifest at
this end Of the lake. Two shipwrecks
have already occurred this spring with
i'll twenty-five miles of the port of Chi
cago, both of them in the vicinity of that
peculiarly dangerous locality, Crosse
Point (EvanSton). The government
maintains there Il lirst-class lighthouse,
II couple of steam fog-horns, also first
class, and wcll-equippcd lifc-saving-
station, whose crew have shown their
efficiency III both the recent shipwrecks.
But all the precautionary arrangements
for tho benefit of mariners do not pre-.
vent frequent Shipwrccks ut the peril
Gus place. Northward of the point OH
which the lighthouse stands, the dir.
cctiOn of the shore is such that it re-
ccivcs the full and direct force of every
northeast gale and the oblque force Of
aDoutall othcrgalcs LISA Shore absolute
ly without bay, inlet, indentation, or
protection of amy kind against the force
of the sea for Il distance of 80 miles,
with water so shoal fully Il mile scawarti
that the only hope of escape from ship,
wreck for the vessel which is carried
by a northcaster too far west to double
the point is in the holding strength OF
its anchors. The anchorage, however, is
nowhere III that vicinity very good, an.
other circumstance that has contribute
cd to make Crosse Point tho terror of
scamcn and the grave of many Il ship
almost i'll sight of the entrance to this
harbor. The time probably Is not very
distant when to the lighthouse, the
hidcous fog-horns, the life boats and
other Government appliances at that
point will have to be added mole, i,
sca-wall, or some kind of artificial con-
trivance which will afford, if not shell
ter, at least comfortable anchoring-
place for Ships in distress. At present
the only safety of Il ship in u gale is to
give Crosse Point a very wide berth,
and that, in the teeth of first class
Lake Michigan gale, is not an easy thing
for Il ship bound to Chicago to do.

PhotOgraphing OH Flesh.

A new triumph of Photographic art
is reported. 1t is claimed that by this
process an indelible likeness of any
object can be produced Oh the human
cuticle, and that, unlike the barbarous
method of tattooing, the new discovery
is rapid, accurate, cheap, and painless.
1.-The idea, for instance" says one who
is interested in making the operation
popular, "of having with one an indeli-
ble imprint Oh the person of any object
of affection, a dear relative, a favorite
horse, dog, bird or cat, is certainly Il
very pleasing one. Indeed, to those
without sentimental feelings such a
discovery would prove Of interest as
atfpItli1gHa chance to carry constantly
with them a reminder Of their worldly
goods, their houses, lands, ships, or
other property"
eyes, that sounds very pretty" said
a veteran operator, "but there isn't
much i'll it. I've been staining my
hands with acids for nearly thirty years
III the business, and have yet to learn
OF amy such process, From my eXpc-
rlence out on the plains l think that,
outside of tattooing, Apache war-paint
will last longer than any photographic
chemicals. There was once Il man here
called the Blue Man, who took some
thing internally for fits which perma-
ncntly changed the color of his skin,
but that's the only instance | know of.
Now, L can put picture or imprint
on your skin, but you must understand
there's u good deal Of fancy work in
our business not comprehendcd by the
uninitiated. But, after all, we have to
come down to the light of the sun and
the same nitrate of silver which col
0red the blue man internally for our
real material.
"Now, can put picture on the side
OF Il house as well as on your skin, and
perhaps better, If the paint don't peel
or as last ;tS your skin does. In point
OF fact, picture will not last as long
on your skin where it is covered by
clothing as it will on the exposed cuti-
Gle. This is because the body con-
Stantly throws out pcrSpiration when
covered, and pcrspiration is Il deadly
enemy to chemicals, But the great
objection to this so-callcd triumph in
Photographic art is thiS:-If | take an
imprint on your hand, for instance, or
on your leg, arm, chest, or back, your
muscles, and, in fact, your entire body,
must be in certain fixed position.
You may, for instance, have an imprint
OF beautiful woman on your hand
when open. Clcnch your fist, and the
imprint, of course, becomes Il carica-
turc, the same as those India rubber or
gutta-percha faces you see for sale in
the streets. Why, in order to have
pictures accurate we have even to cut
our paper in certain way. AApaper
stretches when wet, and il cut II one
way many Il thin face has been made to
look fat, and vice versa. We have to
cut our paper SO as to get the least
stretching.

"NCrba -h1ato" Il Drink.

a number of parties in the East and
South are considering the question of
introducing the cultivation and sale of
the erba-mate," or Paraguay tea,
into this country. This article is in
great favor III South America and has
been SO from time immcmorial. So
highly is it priced that even in certain
OF the coffee-producing districts of
South America it is consumed in much
larger quantities than the coffee.
In the Argentine republic the guam
tlty imported from Paraguay and
Brazil is moro than six times in value
That OF the tea and coffee imported.
Consul Baker, OF Bucnos Ayrcs, in
writing OF the general use Of this
beverage there, says: cit has come
down from Il former generation as a
sort of official institution, which has
become venerable and must not be in
terfcrcd with. And every day, both in
the public offices of the nation and Of
the province, the hours Of 'sicsta' are
set apart, to- Il great extent, for an i'll
discriminate bout at the mate cllp'-all
employees, from the great minister Of
the Government to the porter who
guards the door, taking turns at the
fombilla."
The "matc." he says, is considered
especially useful in ''postponing hun
ger,' the drivers Of caravans and Ar
gentinc ganchos taking their "mate' in
the morning, and eating nothing until
the end of the day, when a full meal is
taken. The ''matc" is imbbcd scald-
ing hot through tube inserted III the
cup or gourd, and in the homes of the
wealthy these circulate all day, one
tube doing general service, and Il refu-
sal Of this hospitality by guest is con-
sldercd an act Of rudeness.
Those who have studied the question
believe that the mate can be success
fully grown III the Southern portions Of
this country, and it is probable some
experiments will be made both in i'm
portation Of the article as prepared in
South America and III an attempt to
produce it here. 1t is the product Of q
small tree Of the holy family, the leaves
and tender tWigs being used for the
tea. The taste is slight bitter, with
u peculiar and palatable aroma. The
methods of curing and preparing are
very simple, and the cost about one
fifth of that of tea or coffee.

French Detectives.

Les Agents Secrets are not only per-
sonally unknown to the general public.
but, save in exceptional cases, even to
each other. 1t is known where they
may be found at Il moments notice
when wanted; but, as a rule, they do
not frequent the Prefecture more Than
can be helped. They have nothing
whatever to do with serving summon-
scs or executing warrants. There are
among them men who have lived in al
most every class of life, and each of
them has what may be called Il special
line of business of his own. In the
course Of their duty some of them mix
with the receivers of stolen goods
others with thieves; many with what
are called III Paris commercial raScalS,
and not Il few with those whose Gin
dustry" it is to melt silver and other
property of like valuable nature.
Forgcrs, sharpers OF all kinds, house
breakers, and horse-steaers--a very
numerous and most Industrious class in
Paris-have each and all their special
agents Of the police, who watch them
and know where to lay hands upon them
when they are WANTED" A French
detective who cannot assume and "act
up to" any character, and who cannot
disguise himself in any manner 50 cf-
fcctually as not to be recognized even
by those who know him best, is not
considered fit to hold his appointment.
Their ability in this way is marvellous.
One of them some years ago made me a
bet that he would, in the course of the
noxt few days, address me four times,
for at least 10 minutes each time, and
that should not know lin on any oc-
caSiOn until he discovered himself. AS
a matter of course was on my guard
and mistrustcd every ono who came
near me. But the man won his bet. 1t
is needless to enter into particulars.
Let it suffice to say that in the course
of the next four days he presented him
self in tho character Of bootmaker's
assistant, a tiacre driver, a venerable
old gentleman with great interest in
the Boursc, and, finally, as a waiter in
the hotel in which L was stopping.
Assurcdly, the man deserved to win his
bet, for in no single casehad theta int.
est suspicion Of his identity.

"Marry me to-day.'
He kissed her.
Neither of them were very old or
ugly, and that which had never happen-
Ell to Cornelia before happened then
she fell desperately in love on the spot.
II don't care for one of them," she
said.
II will marry YOU"
EARLY next morning (he had the lie
enSe i'll his pocket-"the artful!") two
figures stole out of the court arm in arm.
They were those of Monsieur Blanc
and Miss Copperfield.
They were wed.
Shortly after the first excitement of
the elopement had ceased to thrill the
court, Il person duly authorized bore
away the furniture of No. 5, and sold
the house, and no one of the genteel oc-
cupants ever saw Miss Copperiield again.
The family disowned her, and the old
aunt was very particular that Cornelia's
name should never be mentioned in her
hearing.
And indeed Cornelia would not face
these outraged beings for the world.
In a little house over a small shop
where pipes of all sorts are sold, she liY-
ed with her husband.
She grew quite portly, and never was
SO gay III her life.
Together they walked in the Park of
sunny Sundays, or went to the cheap
seats of places of amusement, where
they had much ado to hear or see any
thing, and they had nice indigestible
little sllppers at ten or eleven O'Clock.
Whether she died happily or still lives
in hopes of rivaling Mrs. RoOney's
grandfather by seeing her hundred and
second birthday, we know not, but we
do know that for a long time her story
remained fearful legend in Copperlicld
Court.
