A well-known merchant of this city
has IA son who is Il very wild Young
man. He seldom comes home before
midnight and frequently wears n
heavy JAG as the reSnt of his conviv
iality. His companions make his room,
IA sort of SoberIng-up station, and two
or three OF them roll in nearly every
night. The old gentleman was one OF
the boys in his younger days and,
while he is now Il very pious and
proper head of cultured household.
he cannot entirely forget his early in.
discretion or steel his heart against the
boy who is going the old mans gait.
Still he felt it incumbent on him to
check the youths career, and so he
devised plan TO brighten him. He GOT
n stick Of phosphorus and wrote on
the wall opposite the boys bed: Pre-.
pare to meet thy Cod The letters
were, of course visible only in the
dark, aud the old man was careful tC
have the room well lighted when his
son came home the next night pretty
well loaded. as usual. He and n COM
panion turned in with gas turned up
full, and soon they were sound asleep.
Then the old man went in and put
out the light. He then made a noise
sufficient to wake the boy out of his
drunken sleep, aud as he sat up in
bed his eyes caught the handwriting
on the wall. With bound he sprang
out of bed and striking a match, he
began an examination of the wall, but
it was blank in the light The gas
burned all night, and the next morn
ing the youdg man was very quiet and
solemn. The old gentleman erased the
warning from the wall, and is pleased
to know where his boy is at night.
The father says that he learned of the
trick from a prominent preacher of the
city who was frightened out of hi,

According to the returns of the
dominion immigration department. no
less than S11,200 immigrants from
foreign lands settled in the dominion
between the years 1881 and 1889, yet
the year book just received by the fed
eral government only claims an in
crease of 100, 046 in the dominion pop

emigration to this country for the
dominion to grow very fast.

Hillswick, in Shetland. A large shoal

manned and put off. After much

being estimated at nearly one hundred

Jury verdicts are not invariably rend-
cred according to the evidence given in
the case, as a prominent HeHnepin
county official recently remarked, you
never can tell what petit juror will do.
Hunger, anxiety to get away to bust
ness, to keep an appointment, to get
into good bed, act as persuaders for
the agreement upon We dict.
A sOiled pack of cards or a silver
quarter has often played a not unim-
portant part in the jury room. A right
close game of seven-up. euchre, cinch,
pedro or one of the many others, proves
not only interesting to the other Jurors
who may De only spectators, but is a
good way to reach decision. 1t seems
to break up the monotony after several
weary days have been spent IN listening
to the brow-beating of witnesses or the
dry arguments of lawyers.
The silver quarter method of securing
verdict is to be recommended as
quicker than the card system, and there
is not such an opportunity for cheating.
Should the jurors all be ''broke," a cop
per cent may be borrowed from the
bailitf, which will answer the purpose
just as we'll. 'Odd or even" is all right.
too, but not quite so satisfactory.
In whatever way the verdict may be
decided, pack of cards is indispensable
to a well-regulated jury. Cards are
sometimes source of profit to some
jurors. III the recent Collom case GER
tain juror is said to have won all the
money the other jurors had about them,
But as long as there are juries there
will be transactions in the jury room

article mentioned. nor is it one of little
or no possibility, as intimated.
The commissioner of internal revenue
in his book of instruction says: 1.-THE
position of storekeeper is one of special
confidence and trust" Among the
many duties imposed upon him are the
following: He has the sole charge of
the bonded warehouse and OF the spirits
stored in it. No one can enter it for
any purpose without his presence, not
even the proprietor himself. He weighs
or measures every bushel of grain and
all the fuel which comes onto the prem
ises. He weighs out each day stated
amount of meal. amounting to
about 5000 pounds on an average
He records the hour and minute when
each fermenting tub is filled, and takes
the temperature and gravity at the time
and at II O'Clock noon each day. He is
required to be present at the drawing Oft
of the spirits into barrels and at the
branding and marking of all packages
by the gauger, and is required to see
that they are at once put IN bond. OF
all these facts and many others he is re-
quired to make daily report in tripli-
cate and consolidated report at the
end of each month. He keeps locked
all the bins where grain is stored, and
when the distillery is closed for the
night locks all OF the machinery, in
Guiding stills, tubs. engine and all pipes
through which spirits flow. These locks
can only be opened by the storekeeper,
who carries bunch of twenty-five
keyes.
These are only part of the duties de-
volving upon him, but enough perhaps
to remove the impression that his duties
are light.
Nothing to dol 1t requires from ten
to twelve hours close attention to bust
ness every day. At this time the dis
tillery is running night and day with
two stOrekeepers. and one is required to
remain on duty until the other relieves
him, because the machinery is not al
lowed to move in the absence of the
officer.
When Mr.. Landberg was in Office he
had little to do, and the larger part of
the time nothing, but during the sum-
mer the capacity of the distilIery was
more than tribled, and instead of one
man holding the Office of storekeeper
and gauger, there are two storekeepeIs
and one gauger. W. T. B. MCINTYRE

to the charter of his company, and states
that. while under it the property of the
Manitoba Railway company is ex-

to bear part of the expense of widen

taking has been reduced to science,
and IL is simply impossible for a man
who has once gone through the hands
of the description takers connected
with the police department of Mime
apolis, Boston, Washington. PhiIadel-
phia, PittSburg, Cincinnati, Chicago, or
Paris to so disguise himself as to es-
cape his own individuality. The sys-
tenn which has lately been adopted by
these departments is the invention of
Aiphonse Bertillion, and consists of
bone measurements. These meas
urements are taken in the
French metric system and these meas
ures are called by the inventor of the
system ''anthropometric Identification"
Under this system the identification of
prisoner rests upon the knowledge OF
the following indications: First, the
length and width of the head; second,
the length of the left middle ana little
fingers; third, the length of the left
foot: fourth, the length of the left fore
arm; fifth. the length of the right ear;
sixth, the height of the figure; seventh.
the measurement OF the outstretched
arms; eighth, the measurement of the
trunk. Besides these indications de-
scrlption of the scars and peculiar
marks which every individual more or
less exhibits is carefully noted.

have been taken by the BertilliUn sys-
tenn, and when a prisoner is taken be-
fore the officers, they can tell in less
than three minutes whether he has been
arrested before and his description
taken. A system of exchange has been
inaugurated between the cities using
this system of measurement. and al

and general appearance so that his own
mother would not recognize him, if he
has been subjected to the Bertillion Sys-
tenn of me asurement and is arrested
again the measurements taken are
sure guide to his identity. In over
$4,000 measurements, no two have been
found exactly alike. In Minneapolis
the measurements are made by Maj.
Norton, secretary of the police commits
sion. and Fred George, the police clerk.
On the third floor of the Central station
room has been fitted up especially for
this work. Stands, tables and all of the
paraphenalia necessary for the work
has been put in, and although the syS-
tenn has been in operation only short
time, quite number of measurements
have been taken, and the success of the
system Is already assured.

of the room who had twisted his mouth
to all angle OF a. degrees trying to keep
from crying, while the daring and
ash barrel inspector was injecting virus.
The kid simply smiled, as much as to
say: Let me go and I'll never bother

The doctor said people had as varied
ideas about the pain they experienced
in being vaccinated as they do in having
a tooth pulled. Some like to take a

what do you do when person has

ago Officer Foster arrested naughty
kitchen mechanic, VINO vowed by all
that is great and good that he would
not be vaccinated. But when he heard
me call up the pesthOuse for the ambu-
lance. he nearly tainted, and was very
anxious to take his medicine.
The doctor related many funny incl
dents about prominent society leaders
''whO would rather die than have their
beautiful arms diSfgured." The most
of this class are vaccInated on the leg,
between the ankle and the knee.
HAS there been many deaths from
smallpox in Minneapolis during the

Only a few. The number of cases
will hardly exceed thirty-five."
The health officer considers that the
disease will spread quicker than any
other contagion. and therefore alwa Us

case appears.
SMALLPOX is often mistaken for some
other disease. is it not?''
Yes, for almost every eruptive dis

pox. The genuine smallpox is usheIe ed
in by severe cold, and continues three
or four days. The eruption presents
