The '.Rogues' Gallery of Scotland Yard
There is almost a library Of photo
graphic albums of ~malefactors. They are
all represented with their hands laid fiat
on their breasts, it having been ascer-
tanned by experience that the hands often
furnish unalterable clews to identiica-
ton. As these hkenesses are s~afe-guarded
in testimony against them, the habitual
criminals betray an extreme antipathy
to having them taken. 1t was a weeks

his expression and distorted his features

Vendors Of cheap microscopes CON

will give you the secret. They use a
small particle Of our paste, pretending
it Il a drop OF water, and the objects
shown are anguilule. or paste cells. The
following is the method OF working tho
trick
The vender has standing before hun
on the stand with his instruments a glass
OF clear winter, usually containing a bit
OF ice. The Instruments consist OF a
short fenestrated brass tube carrying two
p~lano-convex non-achromatic lenses. ono
OF which is about 10 seconds aud the
other 0.5 seconds focal length. and so ar
ranged that the visual focus falls on the
plane surface of the smaller lens. Be
sides the instruments and a glass of
water. a number Of clean wooden tooth
picks lie carelessly scattered on the
stand. On n little bench under the
table, and concealed from public view,
there Is a small box Of sour paste. plenti-
fully supplied with anguilulm.
When n customer steps up, the chances
are q hundred to one, as every micro
scopist knows. that the question will be,
Does this here show the animalcules in
waterTr The ready answer is. -Show
'om? Certainly Fact is, / don't dare
to look at the water. / keep melted ioe
water for my use. That generally amt
got any" Has that water got any in
it?- continued the querist. I'VE can see"
says the vender. and he picks up a clean
tootbpick, dips it into the glass, and pre-
pares 10 put a drop on the front lens.
His hand. however, is shaky, and the
toothpick drops, falling generally on the
little shelf which projects slightly from
under the table He picks it up again,
and under the p~retense OF wiping it
sticks it into the paste, gets a very mi
mute particle to adhere. again touches it
10 the water, and smears the front Of the
field or objective lens.
The victim then looks, and is amazed
and delighted, and straightway invests
in a scope, paying from 81 TO 81 for
what costs the vender less than 10 cents
(3i.75 per dozen).

WINE WITH A HISTORY.
Twelve Precious Bottles That Once Can
Across tho Atlantic.

Twelve Precious Bottles That Once CsnS
Across tho Atlantic.
j. A. Murray, of Butte, Montana, is
the possessor of twelve bottles of wine
with history. The earliest known of
this wine is that it was found in SUBJ
terranean vault inside a sealed stone
receptacle, in Jesuistical monastery,
that was demolished during local feud
among religious fanatics. 1t so hap
pened that the eye of an epicurean fell
upon 1t and he secured it as the most
valuable of the treasures, and carried
it into Poland; presented it to the
crown, for which he was rewarded by
the highest honors and titles that
could be conferred upon an ordinary
citizen. At the marriage of the Prin-
cess Decherniz of Poland to the heir
apparent of the crown of France, the
only remaining basket of this priceless
vintage was presented to the prince for
the nuptial occasion. An unprincipled
adventurer by the name of Bouforte,
who had secured the position of second
steward to the crown, stole twelve
bottles of the precious nectar and re-
placed these with twelve of an inferior
article. These twelve bottles he brougt
with him to America in the year $780,
He communicated the nature of his
special treasure to his most trusted
friend, Henry Coatway. The cupidity
and avarice of the latter everpowered
his reason, and he killed Bouforte to
secure the wine. The deed was no
sooner done than he feared the venge-
ance of the law, and resolved to fly to
distant parts, for q time at least, until
the excitement of the murder would
die out. Before leaving he buried the
twelve bottles with their history far
down among the roots of an ancient
oak. Fifty years after, on uprooting
this same tree, newly converted Nor
mon found the treasure and took it
with him when he migrated to Utah.
When Brigham Young was made
Acquainted with the nature of the
valuable article contained in the twelve
bottles, he informed the owner that
God had made him the instrument to
find this treasure that he might give it
to the head of the church, and forth
with took the vintage.
The wine was in turn stolen from
Brigham by an apostate Mormon, who
brought it to Montana, and on his
death-bed, at the mining camp of
Pioneer, he bequeathed to j. A. Murray
this wine of such an eventful history,
rs testimonial of his gratitude to that
gentleman for his having loaned him
$500 at one time for the purpose of
calling a hand for julius Levy, by
which he took down pot containing

Diseases Of the Feet

What are the mo-: frequent diseases
OF the nails? Wei, corrugated nails
are much more frequent on the toes
than on the hands. Occasionally every
nail will be threaded with rough lines,
and the color of the entire surface yell
low and unhealthy. Another variety
of this disease in an aggravated form
is an appearance of being eroded or
worm-eaten and sprinkled over more
or less with hollow pits. Medicine
unfortunately, can do very little for
this unsightly trouble, which comes
from poor circulation of the blood,
resulting from indigestion or malaria,
or some chronic defect in the circula-
ton. Troubles of this sort are more
frequent among women than men.
Women, it is well known, are more
troubled with cold feet than men, and
this difficulty springs from analogous
causes. The ladies are most patient
customers. They adapt themselves
quite naturally to the luxury of per-
fumed foot bath, or gentle scraping,
pairing, polishing, and tinting processes.
We lay the foot OH silken cushion on
which rests fresh linen napkin, and
the patient can read, or talk, or even
doze while her feet are being beautifed
and doctored. She generally perfers to
talk. She tells you what friend Of
hers had done to her feet, and what an
accident a cousin of hers met with.
Almost all troubles of the feet are
unnecessary. Caution and common
sense would have prevented them. OF
course there are someforms of joint dis
ease, innammations and perspirations,
for which the possessor is not directly
responsible. If taken In time almost
any trouble of the sort can be cured.
Bad soap is the beginning of many
evils. Much of the most highly per-
fumed is made from the refuse of
rendering houses and is full of alkali.
Such soaps are likely to produce the
worst forms of cutaneous affections.
