A Reliable Bank Detective.

Lookers-on see most of the game,
and accordingly it has been reserved
for correspondent of the Independence
Beige to chronicle the latest addition to
the staff of the Bank of England. The
cashiers of this establishment, so he
writes, are often required to give evil
dence as to the identity of persons ac-
cused of passing forged or stolen
checks. When they are questioned on
their oath in court of law they some
times are unable to swear that the
prisoner in the dock is the man who
presented the check for payment, as
they have only seen him for an in
slant and in the midst of n hurrying
crowd. In future they will be spared
the difficulty. If at any time they
have any reason whatever to regard
the payee of check as suspicious
person, they will only need to make a
sign, and he will be instantaneously
photographed by a concealed operator.

BANGS.
why Little Mamie Barlow's Hair Was
Shingled.


why Little Mamie Barlow's Hair Was
Shingled.
Mamie Barlow was seven years old,
and thought that she was getting to be
quite big enough to wear bangs like her
sister Mile. So ever since Maurie AL
len had first had her front hair cut of
for bangs, Mamie had been teasing her
mamma to let her have some too But
mamma would say: "Why, Mamie,
I'm sure you wouldn't look good with
banged hair" "Why, every body else
wears them and L don't see why |
can't" pouted Nan. II should think
you would want to be little different
from every body else then and not hide
your pretty forehead under bangs"
said mamma. "Well, Milly has them
and so has Aunt Katy's little poodle
dog. Papa just has awful long bangs on
his chin, and Sallie says our kitchen door
has ''em' too, but I've just looked
and looked and l can't find them"
"Quite list" laughed mamma, as
Mamie paused, breathless. 'Well,
Wen ask papa what he thinks about it
when he comes up to dinner" And
with this promise Nan had to be con-
tented, for mamma had started down.
town and left her alone upstairs. After
primping before the glass and trying to
imagine the great improvement bangs
would be to her, Nan spied bottle of
light-colored liquid on the bureau.
''Oh, here is some of Toms hair oilr'
she delightfully."- exclaimed. Now Tom
was very careful of his hair oil, and
seldom let Nan use any of it. Now
that she had such a good chance she
Just drenched her hair with the stuff.
Then she went out in the hammock to
read her new Sunday-school book.
When the Barlow family sat down
to dinner Tom first stared in
amazement at Nan and then
laughed till the tears rolled down his
cheeks. The rest, after glance at her
head, followed Toms example; and
Mamie became very indignant before
she succeeded in finding out what was
the matter. Then she jumped up and
ran to mirror, where she saw her
pretty wavy hair hanging like sheet
of pasteboard down her back. She
burst out crying with dismay at the
sight. There, there, don't cry. Nam
ME, for l will have to let you have your
bangs cut off now" ''She will have
to have all her hair cut off, said papa.
"But what under the canopy did you
put on your hair?" why, that horrid
old hair oil on mammals bureau she
sobbed. "Why, child, that was mu-
cilage | bought the other day." So
Mamie got her bangs, and another
thing for which she hadn't bargained.
Her pretty hair, of which she was
rather proud, was shingled close to her
kead.-N. Y. Tribune.

A GREAT MACHINE.


Beautiful Description of the Fine Work
Done by a Grind-Stone.
When was laying the foundation of my
mechanical fame and fortune, a few years
ago, boarded in house filled with loco
motive engineers and firemen. practice
prevailed there of enlivening the supper ta-
BILE with social conversation, and, the loco
motive party being in the majority, the
leading theme of talk was stupendous feats
performed in railway runs, varied by minor
incidents and records OF narrow escapes.
George Dewhirst who ran a lathe in the
shop, sat opposite to me at the table, and
he got tired of being excluded from the
conversation. He became ambitious to
hear himself talk in that crowd. One even
ing, catching on in lull in the conversa-
ton, he called out loudly to me: "Well,
went over and saw the machine to-day, and
it is astonishing the fine work it doesl"
"How does it work?' l inquired. ''Well,"
said he "by means of pedal attachment
a fulcrumed lever converts a vertical recip-
rocating motion into circular movement.
The principal part of the machine is a disk
which revolves rapidly on vertical plain.
Power is applied to the axis of the disk,
and, when the speed of the driving arbor is
moderate, the periphery OF the machine is
travelling at great velocity. Work is done
on this periphery. Pieces of the hardest
steel are by mere impact reduced to any
shape the skillful operator desires. " what
on earth is the new machine?" demanded
listener. "Oh it is a new grind-stone," re-
piled George; and a silence could be felt
passed round the supper table.-Mechanic-

a rare good time. But all of a sudden
Captain Head came up with them, and
without a word they were caught, their
misdeeds declared, and their punish
ment decided. They were all chained
in a group, pressed so close together
that they had to lock arms to be
comfortable, and stationed behind a
thick rampant with the order to stand
there till released.
And where were the two restless
corporals all this time? Hearing a
faint rumor of what was going on in
the ranks above them, they were just
about to make off to a place of safety
when sudden "Haltp' stopped them
and Captain Head frowned down
angrily upon them.
1t was no use trying either to run on
creep out of the dilemma, though they
| shuffled about uneasily. Their penalty
was at once dccreed, and theyw were per-
emptorily ordered to stand right where
they were and not to move an inch with
| out permission.
And now for once Captain Head felt
himself every inch soldier. Free to
think and reflect on his responsibilities
and duties, he could but see how much
he had been to blame for all the mis-
demeanors and Irregularities that had
brought discredit on the great army
of which he desired to be true and
worthy member. If he had but begun
this stern and watchful discipline with
his soldiers earlier, how much more re-
spected would he have been as COM
mander, and how much more surely
would he have won the commentator
of the Great Commander whom he pro-
fessed to love and serve.
By the time Captain Head had con-
cluded these reflections the two young
guardsmen were crying piteously to be
released, promising ever after faithful
| ly to obey orders. The sentinels were
straining every nerve to hear any sound
of approaching relief, and ready to
listen to any conditions of pardon.
Adjutant Tongue longed for the use
of his powers once more if just to utter
the good resolutions he had been 81
lently framing The two Lieutenant
Hands, with their closely crowded
company, were so tired and cramped
that they were eager to work or do
any thing If only permitted to come to
| OllO AIolL dSdll ttuu nave GH6lE lTee-
dom.
AS for the two corporals, though
they had tried to relieve one another,
they simply felt that they could stand
their punishment no longer, and were
willing to promise any thing if only per-
mitted the free exercise again so neces-
sary to their happiness.
And having brought them all now to
this state of submission Captain Head
proudly drew himself up to his greatest
height and looking down upon them
gave them distinctly to understand that
henceforth this rule of discipline was
to be rigidly enforced, and no offender
need hope for escape nor for any inn
partiality.
He is now said to have one of the best
drilled and best regulated companies
in the whole army, and is frequently
pointed out as not only wise Captain
but one universally looked up to by his
brave and honorable soldiers.-L. L..
