Detecting a Man Disguised as a Woman

I cannot exactly explain the diff
ference between a woman's walk
and a mans, but you will be able
to appreciate it when you hear this
story. A French detective was after
an important criminal, whom he
knew to be disguised as a female.
He followed his trail closely until
he located him in a certain railway
car. That car was crowded with
women, and after studying over
some scheme for finding his man
he took an apple and tossed it to-
ward a party in crinoline whom he
strongly suspected of being the
criminal. The ruse succeeded. The
party saw the apple coming, and
put up his hands and brought his
two legs together so as to have a
double chance of catching the fruit.
That settled him. The detective
followed the direction of the apple,
and putting his hand on his shoul-
der said: "You are my prisoner.
You see, if it had been a woman,
instead of bringing the knees to-
gether at such time, as man al
ways does, she would have spread
her knees apart so as to catch the
apple in her lap.

gracefully draped the stars and

two beautiful banners, one of them
with the motto, "Wisdom," over
an open Bible. The ladies of the
society, with their badges of white
roses and ribbons, made most
pleasing picture. The exercises
were interesting and enjoyed by a
large and appreciative audience.
Following was the programme of
the evening:

Reading of Scripture, by Mrs. I.

Prayer, by the President, Mrs. w.
H. Brodhead.
Hymn, by the choir.
Essay, by Mrs. E. B. Williams,
entitled "Sex," and read in a most
charming style.
Solo, "Angels Ever Bright and
Fair" sung by Mrs. Geo. NJ. Snow
with fine effect.
The Legend of "Sans Dolphon"
written by Longellow, was read by
Mrs. Sara Van Wormer in an ap-
propriate and graceful manner.
A beautiful and forcible address
was then made by the honored
President, Mrs. w. H. Brodhead,
after which an invitation was ex-
tended to all who had sympathy
with the cause of temperance to
come forward and be received into
membership. Two ladies added
their names to the roll and received

audience was again favored by fine
and appropriate music by the choir.
A liberal collection of $40 so was
taken up for Christmas Tree for
the children of Ketchum, to be un-

invoked a divine blessing, the tenn

Pull Together.

IL have somewhere read" says
the Rev. DR.. Wise in his Bridal
Greetings, of a bridegroom who
gloried in his eccentricities. He
requests his bride to accompany
him into the garden a day or two
after the wedding. He then threw
a line over the roof of their cottage.
Giving his wife one end of it he re-
treated to the other side and ex-
claimed, Pull the line !" She pulled
at his request as far as she could.
He cried, Pull it overl' / can't
she replied. Pull with all your
might! shouted the whimsical
husband. But in vain were all the
efforts of the bride to pull over
theline so long as the husband
held on the opposite end. But
when he came around and they
both pulled at one end, it came
over with great ease. There said
he, as the line fell from the roof,
you see how hard and Intellectual
was our labor when we pulled in
opposition to each other, but how
easy and pleasant it is when we
pull together. If we oppose each
other, it will be hard work if we
act together it will be pleasant to
live. Let us, therefore, always pull
together. ."-Philadelphia Press.

The Dull Life for Boodlers.

l passed through the Niagara
peninsula the other day and met
one of these retired Americans" 6
man named Jeffrey. He told me
he hailed from Elmira. He got
into 'snarp with the United States
Government in 1864 over some army
blankets and had to leave the coun-
try in a hurry, but, of course, he
was perfectly innocent. No one,
he says, can form any idea of the
wretched life led by the boodler
who is doomed to spend the rest of
his days in dull Canadian village.
The best local society, such as it is,
gives him the cold shoulder, and he
has to consort with inferior" peo-
pie, or else to play the hermit. He
does not understand Canadian pol
itics, and, not being British sub
ject, is not allowed to vote or run
for office. He gets the American
newspapers, and when he reads of
the doings Of old friends and ac-
quaintances, he would give all he
ever stole to be able to return to his
old home and resume his former
status. Occasionally he comes
across an American tourist whom
he knew in his palmy days, but
finds that now there is a great gulf
between them, and the frigid treat
ment he receives makes him sad.
Then the boodler IS wife and family
are tabooed by everybody, even to
the village postmaster. If he sends
the children to boarding school
they are visited with the sins of
their parents and sent home on one
plea or another.-Letter from Mon
treal.

Household Hints

A small piece of paper or linen,
moistened with the spirits of tur-
pentine, and just put into bureau
or wardrobe for a single day, two
or three times, is said to be sufi-
cient preservative against moths.
Lemon,juice and glycerine will
cleanse ard soften the hands.
To obviate offensive perspiration,
wash with soap and diluted spirits
of ammonia.
If you are buying carpets for du-
rability choose small figures.
Benzine and common clay will
clean marble.
If your fat irons are rough, rub
them with fine salt, and it will
make them smooth.
Castor oil is an excellent thing
to soften leather.
To clean a brown porcelain ket-
tie, boil peeled potatoes in it. The
porcelain will be rendered nearly
as white as when new.

Saluting 0moel1.

The London World, in treatin@
on this vexe9 question, says there
is but one sensible and logical an
swer as to whether or not the private
soldier should be obliged to salute
an officer when the latter is in plain
clothes. It says:
He should not, for the obvious
reason that the officer, when he
puts on mufti, lays aside for time
his military attributes, and dis
guises himself as a civilian. He
does so to suit himself; and it is
quite unreasonable that the soldier,
who is himself prohibited from the
assumption of a civilian disguise,
should be compelled to be on the
alert to recognize and identify per-
sons who have for the time obliter-
ated their military status. The
name of Harry Oakes is not yet
forgotten in the army-a bluff,
straight-spoken soldier, who some

Twelfth Lancers. This is how he
dealt with the point now so much
at issue: A young officer com
planned that while in plain clothes
q certain soldier had not saluted
him. The soldiers excuse was that
he had not recognized the officer.
'l'll take care you can't make that
excuse in FUTURE" quoth Col. Oakes.
SMr. -, you will walk up and
down the barrack square in plain
clothes until Private - is salts
led that he will know you again"
rhe private give the officer bene-
it of about half an hour. and all
1e conceded then was his ability to
recognize the former in the suit he
hen wore. "If you are not satis-
ied," said the Colonel, "you will |
appear in the square for ten minutes
n each civilian suit you own, and
whenever you get new suit you
will do the same, and let Private
- know" The young officer
lever complained again of not get
ing what he considered his proper !
lue in the matter of salutes.
