interesting and fabulously high priced ar

world from which she was so completely
hedged in, only served as an incentive for
further achievements, and to furnish
models from which to fashion home made
garments. For instance, my little 4-year-
old sister became the happy possessor OF a
small Leghorn chapeau, daintily trimmed
with blue and gray velvet, which had run
the blockade and cost $50. Twas too
small for myself, the eldest OF the two,
and my mother determined that
she would cOntrive u hat for me which
would rival the purchased one in beauty.
She selected soft, yellow husks Of well
dried Indian corn as her material to work
from, instead of palmetto leaves, which
were very commonly used for plating
hats. She tore the husks into narrow
strips with q pin, and from these she
braided a very pretty pointed hat similar
in shape to that Of my sisters, lined Il
with SHRED peachblow silk, and trimmed
IL with fringed and knOtted scarf Of the

How Detectives are Made.

How do men become detectives.
any way? What training and natural
traits must a man haveP" asked a New
York reporter of Inspector Byrne.
"That is hard question to answer
off hand" said the inspector, slowly.
1.-THE most important thing, l should
say, is that men have a distinct liking
an undOubted passion-for this line
of duty. That is essential.
" A man must like the business and
know that he likes it, that he has a
natural aptitude for it. That is the
indispensable requisite. Then he must
have perseverance, youth, intelligence,
enthusiasm for his work. He must be
thorough and Jealous, and especially
he must be tenacious. A good officer
will lay his plans and go over a case,
and perhaps fail; then he goes back
and begins all over again, doing his
work in the second line as carefully as
at first; perhaps he will fail again,
perhaps a half dozen times, but he has
the bulldog in him and is up and at it
again. That's the kind of man that
succeeds in this business; the man
who does something hard does it by
patience, persistence and tenacity.
Why I wouldn't give a cent to do
something anybody can do. If man

officer on the opposite side runs across
and arrests the murderer, there's no
credit in it.
But, in talking about the personal
traits a detective should possess to do
good work, l must not neglect to say
that all these are of no avail is he does
not have a thorough knowledge of
professional criminals. Without this
he can do nothing OF course the
large proportion of crimes are crimes
against property-thieving in one form
or another"
How is the knowledge acquired ?"
l asked.
Oh, in various ways by visiting
their haunts, perhaps, or some natur-
ally pick it up in knocking about New
York. If young man of inquiring
turn of mind see fellow who seems a
little suspicious, he inquiries about him,
takes notes and perhaps talks with
him. The local knowledge of criminals
gradually widens, for all professionals
come here at one time or another; the
budding detective sees new faces and
keeps his records as he picks up infor-
nation. Then he must study classes
of crime. Professional criminals are
very clannish; they run in gangs, the
bank sneaks together, the hotel men
and so on through all classes of work.
They are all grouped and classified

The Tunnel at Libby Prison.

The March Century will contain the
story of Colonel Roses Tunnel at
Libby Prison." told by one of the one
hundred aud nine Union officers who
escaped on the night of February 8,
1864. The successful construction of
this tunnel, dug from a dark corner of
the cellar of the prison, through fifty
feet of solid earth,-the only tools
being two broken chisels and wooden
spittoon in which to carry out the dirt,
was one of the most remarkable incl
dents of the war.
Colonel Rose, to whose indomitable
will and perseverance the success of
the scheme was due, is now a captain
in the United States Infantry, and of
the fourteen men who assisted him in
digging the tunnel, eleven are still liv-
ing. The narrative in the March Gen.
tUry, which is illustrated, forms one of
the untechnical papers supplementing
the War Series, and 1t is said to be one
of the most romantic records that The
Century has ever printed.

The Copper Syndicate and the
Trusts.

Cable dispatches have had much to
say recently of the doings of the French
syndicate which is engaged in putting
up the price of copper throughout the
world. The French spectators have
formed sort of trust to control the
production and price of this important
metal, and they have now, it is said, a
corner in the product of the copper
mines of Europe, of South America and
of the United States for three years.
Already they have succeed in their
scheme to the extent of having dOub-
led the price of copper. 1t is stated
that the Calumet & Hecla mine can
produce and lay down it's copper in
New York at 81 cents a pound; but
this protected corporation, along with
the Anaconda, has entered into the
combine, it is said, for period of three
years. The Tamarock mine is said to
have obligated itself to dispose of it's
product for three years to the French
syndicate at I3 cents a pound. The
Calumet & Hecla and Anaconda are
supposed to have obtained as good or
better terms, with the result that the
people of the United States, who have
been giving copper mine owners a pro-
lection of 4 cents a pound on their
product, will now, through the help of
these very owners, be tieeced to any
extent M. Secretan, of Paris, the man
ager of the corner, may think desira-
Bile. The people, having made the
copper-mine owners of the United
States rich through bounty of cents
a pound for many years past, are now
turned over with cynical indifference
to the foreigner to be plucked. But
copper is only one of the metals in
which the French syndicate has been
operating. When tin was taken in
hand by NJ. Secretan last summer it
was selling at 224 cents a pound; I'M
der his management it now sells at 81
cents. His corner on zinc advanced
that metal from 4.35 cents per pound
to 5.67. Lead has been advanced from
4.35 to $40. The numerous industries
in which copper, brass. zinc, tin and
lead are raw materials must necessari-
ly advance the price of their wares to
consumers in consequence of this con-
spiracy, or go out of business. The
New York Times reports a falling off OF
90 per cent. in the orders received by
the manufacturers of city where 3d.
100000 pounds of copper were used
each year. Cheap copper has stimula-
ted greatly the extension of electric
lighting. A number of new uses oil
copper in building, &C.. depend upon
the cheapness of that metal for theil
continuance. The same is to be said
of brass, which is made of two of the
cornered metals and of tin and lead
which underlie vast number of in.
dustries.
