EFFECTS OF DRAINAGE.

Improvement of Climatic Conditions
Through Mans Ingenuity.
How few people realize the results OF
extensive drainage, such as a highly
civilized country presents. No incon-
siderable changes are wrought by arti-
fetal drainage. Much of surface water,
instead of being left to form marshes,
saturate the soil, or be taken up by
evaporation, is carried away under
ground through drain-pipes. Conse-
quently, the air is not SO moist as for
merly, and the soil, instead of being
constantly chilled by evaporation, is
rendered warm and genial. This result
has been particularly noticed in England
and Scotland, where very extensive
areas have been artifcially drained.
Holland has been, one might say, re
claimed from the sea. The water has
been dyked out, and many parts of the
country that were the bottom of the
sea are now dry land, and, though be-
low sea level, form the homes of happy
and industrious communities. Years
ago, there were, along the lower banks
of the Mississippi, drowned lands, >
subject to overflow and uninha bita BILE,
covering an area larger than the State
of New York. Many of these lands
have been reclaimed by means of levees
Thus, by mans ingenuity, are the sur.
face, climate and general physical con
dition of the earth being changed.-N

GLOW in the world do you manage to

diuing places in the city.

81 will tell you.'' remarked by
stander who was an habitue of the
place. When a person known to be of
bad character manages to get into the
restaurant, he is received with the
greatest possible politeness, his order is
taken and then the waiter disappears.
The person waits and waits, but the
waiter never comes back. Then, if the
would-be patron does not take hint and
leave-if he sends a second waiter to
search for the first one, the second one
also apparently gets lost If he com
plains, he is promised that the matter
shall be rectified, but the promise or
promise succeeding promises are all
that he ever gets. He never is waited
upon. Eventually he goes out in dis
gust, and he never comes back. Chic

PROCURERS OF CRIME.
Government and Private. Detectives Cor

Government and Private Detectives Con-
trasted by an Ex-Convict.
Government and private detective
work were contrasted the other day by
a reformed ex-convict, who has been a
detective in both the Government and
a private service. He is an old man now,
and broken down. Many times he has
known what it is to stand up before a
Judge and jury and to go behind prison
bars
"a private detective makes it his
business he said, ''to encourage crime,
while the Government detective is not
allowed to put any inducements to COM
NIT crime before a criminal. Years ago
I was a counterfeiter and burglar in
New York City. Then | reformed and
fell into a company Of private detectives
who had known my career. They APP
preached me upon the subject of earn

the goods and pass them into the hands
of receiver of stolen goods. The clerk

"Some time after that [ was told that
I could earn more money by going into
the Government service. | went to the
head of the Government Secret Service
and told him | had evidence which
would convict gang of counterfeiters.
The Governments agent told me to
go ahead and get alluthe evidence I
could But when / suggested that |
could do better work if | was furnished
money to buy these counterfeit coins
from the gang, the Governments officer
replied that / could do all | could to
gain their confidence, and to try to buy
counterfeit money direct from them, but
the Government would not allow it's de-
tectives to do anything to encourage
crime or to induce criminals to commit
crime. philadelphia Press.

Turtles are numerous on the west
coast OF St. Helena, and some of them
each weigh as much as $50 pounds. An
English steamer once took on board a
dozen of these sea monsters, intending
to deliver them alive to provision
dealer in Liverpool. But before they
reached English water one of the turtles
was taken sick and was thrown over
board, after having been branded with
the name of the ship. Next yea1 the
same steamer came across the same
turtle on the coast of ST. Helena, more
than 4, 900 miles from the point where
the homesick creature was flung over
board.

have saved or bought, it is the growing
custom of selling pawn tickets before
their value ceases. 1t used to be the
rule that if man or woman could not
redeem what he or she had pawned, the
goods were lost. Now there is one large
storekeeper on Broadway and host of
smaller ones all over the city who buy
these tickets of those who know they
can not raise the sum the pawnbrokers
have loaned them. These buyers call
themselves jewelers.. AS they try to
get as good bargains as possible, it is
now their rule to advertise pawn tickets
for private purchase. The list of such
advertisements grow larger every
month";. Y. Sun.

Curious Fences.

Freaks in fence building are not un-
common in New England. Not many
miles from New Bedford, for instance,
is a solid fence with curiously curved
upper line and here and there number
painted upon it in white. On examina-
ton it proves to be built of the pew
doors from a dismantled church. And

ton at Small Point, Bath, Me-, has
amassed enough swords of the sword

ONE DIDN'T EXPRESS 1T.
The Funny Fix Into Which German EN-
iprant Got Himself

The Funny Fix Into Which a German EN-
igrant Got Himself.
It was big union railway station.
All the seats in the waiting-room were
divided into short compartments by
cast-iron arms, with not settee or
bench anywhere on which a man could
lie down. Into this room came for
eign emigrant, jolly-faced but sleepy
looking man, with his wife, his six
children and an immense quantity of
baggage. He learned from the obliging
official that he must wait four hours for
the Denver express.
''Ah! Very good! I rest myself"
said he.
The wife, a plumb, contented, but
also sleepy person, ranged the children
in row in the compartments of the
seat, and sat down at the end, stuffing
her bundles in between the children
and wherever there was an empty
place.
The man, who had evidently done the
same thing before, proceeded to crawl
under the iron divisions of the seat, so
as to lie fat on his back. It was tight
squeeze, but he succeeded, and, after a
grunt of satisfaction, began to snore
almost Immediately.
In few moments his wife left her
place at the other end of the settee, and
sat down at the head of her husband,
who, in crawling under the iron arms,
had happened to leave one seat vacant.
She arranged shawl or something
under his head for pillow, and seemed
quite satisfied to see her lord taking his
ease, with the row of children and bag
gage at his feet.
The four hours went by, and five min
utes before train time in came the man
with the big voice, as was his wont, and
began to call out:
passengers going west take cars on
tract 4! Denver, Colorado Springs,
Pueblo, Manitou, Pixies Peak, Green
Mountain Falls, Cascade, and all points
connecting with San Francisco, Los
Angeles and the Pacific coast! All
aboard!'' and having reeled this off very
solemnly, the official walked out.
When the German heard the words
Denver, Pixies Peak" the fun began.
He had evidently been dreaming about
catching a train, or something of that
sort. At any rate, he gave great yell:
"Stop her!" and tried to get out.
But he was wedged in SO tightly be-
tween the young ones at his feet and
his good Frau at his head that he could
not bulge. The harder he struggled,
the more tightly he crowded his wife up
against the iron brace on her end of the
seat, and the more impossible it was for
her to get up.
The children began to cry, and every
body near enough to know what the
matter was had such a CONFUSION of
laughing that assistance was out of the
question.
Finally, in the midst of the hubbub,
the oldest child ran around to it's moth
er, and, with mighty joint effort, they
succeeded in getting her free. Then the
father crawled out. and, snatching UP
his bundles, hurried off, exclaiming, as
he pulled after his angry spouse:
81 vas one fool, Racheln'
''You vas toco fools, Yawcob!'' said his
wife
"Yah!'' said Jacob, and then the whole
family exploded with hearty German
laugh.-Y outh's Companion.
