Glow do men become detectives, any ways
What training and natural traits must a man
haveF
That is hard question to answer of
hand" said Inspector Byrnes slowly. 1.-THE
most important thing, l should say, is that
men havo q distinct likinS-an undoubted
passion-for this line of duty. That is es-
sential.
Eyes, sir, man must like the business,
and know that he likes it; that he has a nat
ural aptitude for it. That is the indispensa-
bic prerequisite. Then he must have perse-
verance. youth, intelligence, enthusiasm for
hisworh He must be thoroughly Jealous,
and especially he must be tenacious. A good
officer will lay his plans and go over case,
and perhaps then fail; then he goes back and
begins all over again, doing his work in the
second line as careful ly as at first; perhaps
ne will fail again, perhaps half a dozen
times, but he has the bull dog in him and is
up and at it again. That's tho kind of man
that succeeds in this business; the man who
does something hard does it By patience, per
sistence and tenacity. New York Cor
Cleveland Leader.

Eight thousand Eve hundred Spanish doub-

melted into bullion. All of these coins which
are worth S11lG each, and valued in the
aggregate ct about S147, 600, bore dates Pre-
yiouS to 1890, and some were marked with
dates as remote as the Sixteenth century.

Perhaps the most unique celebration of
the German Emperor Williams birthday
was that which took place 1000 feet high
on the southern summit of the Bavarian
Alps. Two mountaineers-StanZl and
Walch by nGme-ascended to this eleva-
ton, and then kindled bonfire, the ma
terials for which they had laboriously
dragged with them. They had intended
climbing to the very summit of the Watz-
mann, but deep SNOW prevented this, and
the bonfire OF wood and petroleum was lit
on the Falzkopn. The ascent of the
mountain often brought the climbers up
to the shoulders in snow, but they were
determined to perform the feat, and they
did it-New York Sun.

A WITTY Fortune Teller.

Georgia has one fortune seller who can be
depended on. She is young girl, and was
recently thought to be a gypsy by q widower
who is looking for young wife, and was
therefore anxious to know the future The
girl said she'd tell the past and the future,
and, having first received a good fee, she told
the man to take Off his hat, He did. Then
she said: you took off your hat; you will
put it back on. God loves you, and if you
don't look sharp the devil will get YOU The
fortune teller then walked away and left him
standing, looking like the boy the calf ran
over. New York Sun.

1t is Il II known fact that rhus affects
different persons in different degrees and
some not at all. 1t is also well known that
one victim of the poison often experiences
greater relief than another while using a
similar remedy. A strong solution of hi
carbonate OF soda, as rule, proves an efficient
application for the cure of rhus poisoning,
There are, however, exceptions to the ;uc. A
correspondent in Gardeners Monthly writes
that bicarbonate of soda fails in his case, hut
he finds relief in the application of strong
saturated solution of alum.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.


The Currents of the Ocean and Their
Relations to Each Other.
All the currents Of the ocean seem to form
a connected system which has been compared
to the circulation of the blood. They are
principally caused by differences of temporal
ture and prevalent winds, Warm water
rises, cold water sinks. At the equator there
is a continual flow of expanded, rising water
toward the poles. AT the poles there is con-
slant sinking of contracted or cooled water,
which flows an undercurrent toward the
equator, the water of the equator moving on
the surface to supply its place. This motion
is modified by the shape of coasts or preva-
lent winds forming the different ocean cur
rents.

RISE OF THE MISSISSIPPI
The Loss of Property Very Heavy
Movements OF the People.

The Loss of Property Very Heavy
Movements of the People.
ST. LOUIS, May 14.-The river is steadily
rising here, and the inhabitants of the
American bottoms have moved their stock
and portable property back to the bluffs
From the experience Of former years they
know that the territory covered with
hundreds of thousands of acres of waving
crops might to-day be under ten feet OF
water
The reports from the north are alarming
and if the Sny levee or Madison dyke
breaks the loss will be millions. A regular
exodus has taken place from the Sny bot
tom.
The entire city Of Alexandria, Mo-, is in
undated, and five feet of water covers the
principal streets There has been no loss of
life, but the property loss is heavy. The
people are being taken as fast as possible
to the highlands, couple OF miles back Of
the town.
The Sny levee is now being patroled for
miles by sentinels, whose duty it is TO sum-
mon assistance when any weak spot is OBJ
served.
FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES
Specials from several points along the
upper Mississippi river give accounts Of
great losses to property owners and vast in
undations. The levee that protects Sny
bottoms give way at an early hour this
morning, and the men, who we're engaged
in strengthening the levee, had TO run for
their lives An opening, 100 yards wide,
was made, and the water rushed through
and into the bottom with a roar.
Couriers fastened through the bottoms
warning the farmers of the break, and there
was wild chase driving the live stock to
the high lands. The bottoms are in Illinois,
embrace about 100000 acres Of land and
reach from point opposite Louisiana, Mo-,
to a point opposite Hannibal. At the
brcadest place they are nearly five miles
wide, and the overflow makes a great and
turbulent sea.
A break occurred at Murphy's Bay,
known as Turkeys Fool. The last inunda-
ton IN these bottoms was in 1881. At o
o'clock this morning the Indian Grove
levee gave way, and submerged II, 900 acres
of lowland, 5000 acres Of WHICH was planted
in wheat
The levee broke about six miles above
Quincy, Ill. For many hours men worked
filed with hay and rocks, but TO no avail,
and the break came so suddenly that they
were obliged 10 flee for their lives On the
Missouri side the break at Alexandria has
caused great sea, covering 100000 acres
of land.
FALLING AT DUBUQUE.
DUBUQUE, IA, May 14.--lhe water in
the river reached it's highest point Saturday
and on that day aud Sunday was at stand
still. To-day it began 10 recede slowly.
The worst seems now TO be over here, but
the water is still rising below.
