to Uncle Sans strong vault below the
sub-treasury. On every side is wealth,
yet attempts at robbery are very rare,
and successful ventures at thievery
scarcer still.
The fact is that every face passing
along Wall street is scanned. 1t is a
great place for seeming loafers and
loungers. Curbstone brokers have the
semblance of loungers. Clerks enjoy a
cigarette on the sidewalk. So lounger
more or less is not noted. But all who
apparently loaf about with little to do
are not loafers. They are sharp-eyed
detectives, to whom the face of every
crook in the country is known, and who
are constantly on the lookout for those
faces.

the detective force of the city and made

central office organization, and its
establishment was one of the first steps
taken by Inspector Byrnes on assuming
control of the ununiformed men at

THE WASTE OF DRINK.

Investigations made by the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce show that dur
ing the year ending August 81, 1885,
there was consumed in Cincinnati, in
Guiding Covington, Newport, and other
suburbs, 553, $3.50 barrels, or 1918, 535
gallons of malt liquors, or AZ $50 gallons
per day. For this liquor the Price cur
rent estimates that the people paid about
$40 600, 900, or S27 400 per day, or $25 per
annum for each individual of the popu-
lation, including children. In addition
to this tax upon industry is the amount
expended for spirituous liquors, cigars,
tobacco, etc.
Ten millions of dollars! What would
this sum do? 1t would purchase thou
sand farms of a hundred acres each, ut
hundred dollars per acre, which would
be equivalent to territory twelve and
half miles square, lying in the best
farming regions of Ohio or Kentucky,
and including all buildings, orchards,
roads and other improvements.
II would purchase ten thousand build
ing lots in the suburbs ofthe great city
where it was swallowed, and build on
each of these neat cottage of four or
five rooms, and thus make comforta-
BILE home for each of ten thousand labor
ing mems families, or fifty thousand per-
sons.
1t would buy one hundred million
pounds of meat, at ten cents per pound
enough to furnish an army of hum
dred thousand men with the standard
army ration for year.
1t would buy nearly two million bar
rels of the best grade OF four-enough
to furnish years supply of bread for
four hundred thousand peorle-more
than the entire population of the cities
named.
Is it any wonder that Cincinnati is in
constant terror of riot and murder, fire
and pillage, when such flood of DEVILS
broth as this money represents is an
nually poured down the threats of her
citizens?
Let it be remembered that these stat
istics are for malt liquors alone, and do
not include wines or alcoholic liquors, of
which an enormous additional amount
is consumed. Let it be remembered,
also, that the statistics are not those of
Temperance fanatics" but of body of
business men, who have collected them
for business purposes.

Zulu Marriages.

The more refined sentiment of love

lican. The period of wooing is brief
A young girl may have taken q liking

family, or, if known, unrestrained, sh.
will leave her fathers house, and al
dusk will station herself before the hut
of the favored one. She will remain
perfectly silent, neither asking nor an.
swering questions. Hher attentions arc
favored she will be asked into the hut
and stay with the man a week or more.
Then he returns with her to the fathers
home, taking a few cattle along. These
are presented and invariably accepted,
sign that the parents are willing to
enter into negotiations. The price is
fixed and the couple return, and thence.
forth are regarded as man and wife.
If, on the other hand, young warrior
takes liking to girl. he will induce
her to follow him, and, like any COM
mon buyer of cattle, inquire into her
good qualities. Or he will lead to her
fathers home some cattle. If these are
accepted the bargain is further discussed
and finally closed. Eight or ten head
OF cattle is the average price for a girl.
Up to this time the girl has gone almost
perfectly naked, sign of her virginity.
Now, however, narrow grass covering

A Bobbin.Mill in North England.

There are few other industries in this
remote corner of the world except farm
ing. One, however. which was singu-
larry interesting to us was bobbin-turn-
ing. a rare old trade, which fortunately
is not dead. The bobbin-mill stands in
one of the most wildly beautiful woods
in England; for many years it has been
there, until it Is so toned down with the
storms and the sunshine of bygonc sea-
sons. that is piece of the quiet content
of the scene with its great pile of hewn
wood and logs stacked high above the
doorway. All day long the Stockgill
stream, which turns the wheel. rushes
leaping down the glen, dashing and
splashing over the rocks; all day long
the mill burrs and huns, and in the
high ceilinged working-room, where the
spiders spin webs undisturbed among
the rafters, the human toilers, men and
boys, turn skillfully the reels and bob
bins. There is the faint scent of the
fragrant wood in the air, and the dust
of the silvery ash, which softens the
ruddy color III the children's cheeks,
and powders the white hair of many Of
the older men, giving them subdued
refined expression.-A. II. b.. in Ouer'

Man Strongest I'm the Morning.

Early risers should be much encour.
aged by the results of some experiments
which have been recently going OH un-
der the guidance of DR.. Buch. 1t seems
that the worthy doctor possesses "dy.
namometer." a machine which has moth
ing whatever to do with the electric
dynamo, but which is intended to be
applied to the human frame in order to
tell what Ia the amount of muscular
power possessed by each person. OF
course it would be unfair to say that
dynamometer, as such is an entirely new
invention. A form of it is to be OBJ
served at most race courses and country
fairs, where spectators are invited to try
their hitting power against cushion
attached to- a spring. According to the
strength of the blow given, a marker is
driven forcibly up high pole, and
comes down. If an accomplished pug
Hist tries his hand at the instrument, il
is probable that he will send the marker
to the top of the pole. This is an early
and crude form of the invention. and
DR.. Buch's machine must be of more
delicate make. for it rot only tells the
difference In muscular strength between
one man and another, but also records
the variations of power at different per-
iods of the day. Judged then, simply
by the test of what we are fit for in Q
muscular point of view, there is no
doubt that early rising is the best for al
of us. DR.. Buch declares that the mo
ment when man may he considered
physically at his best Is when he turns
out of bed. From that point to thu
middle of the day. or whenever tn,
midday meal is taken, the power con
tinues very high; but it falls off in thu
afternoon. Breakfast increases muscu
lar power TO very large extent, and 81
does early dinner. The conclusion
therefore, is that men are most capabl,
of coping with business of any kim
from the hours of rising to the hour o
| lunch; and it follows as a natural con
sequence that the earlier person rise
the more time he will contrive to gain
for his occupations between mornin;
and midday. Many great men ant
hard workers have been early riscrs
but they pursued that course from in
stinct, before the dynamometer hat
been heard of. The curious fact of tn
increase OF muscular power after lunch
for brief period certainly does no
prove that intellectual operations cal
best be carried on; but DR.. Buch
clearly right when he says that earl
rising ought always to be accompanies
by early breakfasting. Many good pee
pie who intend to crowd long day
work in before bedtime make the mis-
take of rising about and Z, and tax
nothing at all to eat or drink until tn
usual breakfast hour: To 60 for tire
