Photography in Criminal Courts.

some Of the accounts. A subsequent
chemical test substantiated this evidence.
The Photographic is to be preferred to
the chemical test because 1t brings its
proofs into the courts and submits them
to inspection, at the same time leaving
the document under examination un-
harmed, while the results of chemical
test must be taken on the evidence Of tho

The first settlers underwent untold
suffering and privation, without adequate
provision against the cold weather, lily
provided with eatables, the toughest of
cabins or tents for shelter and fifty-five
miles from q railroad. They seem to
have borne it all cheerfully, and the wife
did much to lessen the burden of her
husbands cares. Her sister of the east
could scarcely form an idea of the diff
culties under which these brave women
contended to make home decently COM
fortably. Often with only two small
rooms for a family of four or six persons,
the cook stove doing double duty for
cooking and heating, with boxes for
chairs, tin buckets and cans for cooking
utensils, any odd and end procurable for
tableware, no tables but of an i1nprovised
kind, domestic order and comfort were
difficult ends to reach. But most Of these
places were scrupulously clean, the chill
dren well kept, the meals well cooked
and served. 1t was a marvel how It was
done. -..

Must Have Something TO Tell.

A writer, must have something to tell.
Come with me inside the nearest second
hand book store. Look at that accumu-
lation in the corner there. Those are
volumes whose histories would make you
weep. They are the products of UNI
appreciated genius, and in their leaves
are wrapped the hopes and the ambitions
of as good and true workers, as ever
handled penholder. Think of the days
and nights spent in writing those now
worthless books-of the brains, money
and time thrown away. People would
not read them: booksellers could not sell
them. There they lie now like rubbish
destined for the ash heap.
You don't find it in that big pile. Why2
Because people ares reading it; book
sellers are selling it by thousands every
month. Grant had something to tell;
and SO this famous military chieftain, who
was supposed to know as little about lit
erature or rhetoric as he did about the
secrets of the toilet, wrote book that
brought not only money but praises from
all sides.
Now what was the trouble with those
wretches who put their hearts into yon.
der neglected pile? The answer Is
simple enough. The authors of those
dusty books had nothing to tell, or If they
had they knew not how to make people
understand it. Perhaps they tried to tel
love stories when they themselves had
never been in love. Maybe they dealt
with scenes in Siam when they had nevsi
been outside of Boston.-E. F. Burns Ia

specimen or ,.hiue.e ,ur.nu,,v.

Messrs. +. Claudel & Bro. have re-
ceiyed from San Francisco a wonderful
piece of workmanship, which Is strik-
ing evidence of the patience, skin and
ingenuity Of the natives Of the Celestial
empire. 1t is intended as an Easter offer
ing, an egg, but little larger than tur-
keys, and, to outward appearances, moth
ing but such an egg as might be picked
up in any farm yard. But inside of the
shell there is such a delicate mechanism
that an accurate description of it Is well
nigh impossible, and to get fair idea of
the limits to which human skill NAV
reach it is necessary to see this marvel.
The eggsheD is divided into two parts,
but so closely and skillfully are they
Joined that the naked eye fails to dis
cover the line of junction. The tiny
works by which its different parts are
operated are lot Of microscopic springs
and diminutive wheels. SO small that the
largest of the lot hardly rivals in size
those small spangles which are used in
gold lace embroidery.
The arrangement is such that once in
each hour the two shells. which are
hinged at the base. fly apart with a
spring. displaying to view a gorgeous
tulip, SO artistically and truthfully col
ored that one can hardly believe that it
has not been plucked from flower bed
instead OF being production of art. The
petals of the tulip slowly unfold, opening
one after the other. until the flower is
full blown. Within it stands wee
church, with belfry, on the outside of
which is a small dial plate. where the
tiniest hands point the hour The latter
are SO very small that, placed next to
them, the finest needle seems monstrous.
The hour strikes with fairy-like tink-
ling, the church slowly revolves on its
axis, when the rear comes to view, ex-
posing the works to the sight. Then the
petals of the tulip fold together again,
the shells of the egg rejoin, and for an
other hour the whole seems to the I'M
initiated beholder nothing but common
egg.-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

The Mahout and His Elephant.

The Burmese nlahouts are most kind to
their elephants. They tickle them behind the
ears, stroke and fondle them and call them
by endearing names, thus getting more work
out of the beasts by these means than the
natives of Hindostan do The latter are
sometimes very cruel to the elephants under
their charge, striking them on the top Of the
skull with the crooked iron rod called ANGUS.
This goad is sharpened TO a point at its
rounded end. and as the driver, the mahout,
sits astride Of the animals neck, with feet and
legs behind the huge tapping ears he is in a
position to infict many painful blow with
bis instrument Of torture. Elephants do not
travel fast, their gait being at best but a
stumbling walk; twenty-five miles is the out
side limit Of days journey.-Cor. San Fran

B;smarck,s Brandy and Settler.

On the occasion Of Prince Bismarck's last
speech in the reichstag Count Herbert, his
eldest son, now secretary Of state in the
foreign Office, kept the cognac bottle In his
own hands, while group Of high function
aries divided the rest Of tho work between
them. Nothing could exceed for downright
comicality the busy scene that was enacted
behind the chancellor's back during the
whole of the speech. The difficulty with
which the glass mixers had continually to
contend was that of securing the requisite
degree of dilution. First one would taste
and find the compound too weak, 20 that
more cognac had to be added Then another
would pronounce it too strong, and the add.
ton of seltzer water was the consequence.
More than once the chancellor, hard to
please, refused to drink the draught so care
fully prepared, and one Of the solemn group
had to drain the glass, SO that the blending
operation might hsgin again. Probably q
dozen and half small glasses were handed
to Prince Bismarck full and removed from
his bench empty before all had been said
that was in tho great statesman's mind.
That was high record to reach, but then
the occasion was q momentous one and the
chancellor's throat was unusually trouble
some.-Temple Bar.
