singular sucking movement. Build

very large sheep that had come from

posted in his yard unhurt. The Min

Papier.Mache Collins.

Some one not long since invented .
papier-mache coffin. Among the adj
vantages claimed for it was its close re-
semblance to wood, its lightness,
waterproof quality and incombusti-
bility. though why this latter quality
should recommend the new casket is
not apparent. The paper casket has
been patented, but has not been put
upon the market. Iron and bronze
caskets have been for some in favor,
and recently marble Baskets have come
in. They are practically indestructi-
BILE, being made of a composition of
powdered marble dust and Portland
cement, and moulded and baked like
pottery. 4 certain peculiar post
norton vanity has found qualification
in transparent glass collins. but hard
wood is still more used than any other
material. and for all practical purposes
it is, doubtless. as satisfactory as any
thing else. On the score of health
fulness, indeed, the less durable the
casket the better for the surviving popu-
lation of the earth.-IadianapOlis Senti-

LUCKY ACCIDENT.
How 1t Led to the Arrest Of Band .
Dangerous Counterfeiters.

How 1t Led to the Arrest Of Band OF
Dangerous Counterfeiters.
1t was one thing to catch counter
feiter and another to get hold OF his
plates. To arrest and imprison a
shower of the queer was getting rid OF a
dangerous man. to be sure. but yet the
gang could replace him within twenty,
four hours.
The engravers were the real crim-
inals. 1t was better to capture one OF
them than to run in half-dozen of the
fellows who simply put the stuff into
circulation.
In 1864 there appeared counterfeit
ten dollar treasury note SO well ex-
ecuted as to deceive several bank
cashiers in St. Louis. The notes, ac-
cording to the information we got.
were printed in that city, and | was
one of three detectives detailed to pro-
coed to that city and leave no stone UNI
turned to bring the offenders to justice
We had the help of the local detectives,
and we had pointers from two or three
chaps who had been run down and
placed behind the bars, and while We
did not succeed in LAYING hands on the
men we wanted, the trail got so hot
that they decided to leave st. Louis for
Chicago.
was at the depot one morning on
little errand of nv own when a finely
dressed woman about thirty years old
drove up alone in hack. l stood at
her elbow when she purchased ticket
for Chicago, but it was more from ac-
cident than design. She carried a
reticule in her hand, and so far as any
one could Judge she was calm and col
lected, and knew just what to do with
out asking question. She was leav-
ing the ticket-window when a man who
was carrying cane under his arm
whirled around and the point of the
stick struck her in the eye. She
screamed out with pain. and after a
moment tainted away. Two or three
of us carried her into the ladies' sitting
room, and it happened that | picked up
the reticule, which had fallen from her
hand as she went down. Its weight
aroused my suspicious, and while the
others were surrounding the lady I got
a peep into the bag, which was not
locked. 1t contained the two plates on
which that dangerous counterfeit was
printed.
A stranger, who seemed to be greatly
excited over the accident. and who add
vised the lady in whisper to get
| aboard the train as soon as possible,
was taken into custody, and turned
out to be her husband. He was the
engraver of the plates, and she was the
one who was to get them to Chicago.
They were taken to police headquarters
in hack, and within two hours three
other arrests had been made and the
gang broken up.-Dctectire, IN Detroit

A sARsARoUs FASHION.

A Style of Cruelty which Girls May Do
eide Against aud Render Improbable.
wish I could persuade you, dear
girls. never to wear bird on your hat,
nor even bright wing to set off your
rosy cheeks. If you realized how the
cruelty of fashion which trims ladies'
bonnets with song birds is rObbing the
groves and woods of their music: if you
thought of the fact that in many locali-
ties price is set on the little feathered
beauties. that they are trapped by the
thousands and sometimes actually
skinned alive. that their plumage may
look the richer for your adornment,
YOU could not wear bird at such q
price.
Once l had lovely fan of swans
down, with a robin red-breast mount
ed on the center. The robin, stuffed in a
very life-like manner, and with his lit
tie mouth open, seemed just ready to
sing, and, the fan having been gift,
l kept it as parlor ornament with
some pride. One day 4 t'ender-hearted
baby girl. three years old, was looking
at my fan, when suddenly the little
lips quiyered and the brown eyes filled
with tears. wondered moment at
the grieving look, and was very much
touched when the little one said: '.PoOr
birdie! The last song came froO here!"
pointing with her tiny finger at the
open bill.
When we think what glad, buoyant
life bird life is, and remember the
sweetness the birds bring to our homes,
the melody they make in the morning,
the sweethauntingvespers which dream
away and faint in silence in the sum-
mer dusk, we can not feel happy in re-
fleeing that for caprice of fashion
the song-birds are murdered by whole
sale.
Do not forget that you as an individ-
ual. Kate, Allie, Grace, Mabel, Emile,
can do something to make this barbar-
Gus style a thing of the past. Refuse
to adorn yourself with a dead bird.
The power of the unit is never more
visibly shown than in a quiet persist
ence in doing right and making a
wrong unpopular. If girls decide
against it this style of cruelty will
cease to be profitable. -Intcligencer.
