Curious Test for Ability.

A well-known down town contractor
has peculiar theory. 1t is necessary for
him to employ a great number of men in
his business, and they must possess Ger.
tain qualifications in order to give salts.
faction. First and foremost quickness
of thought and action is indispensable.
Everything else is subordinate to this.
"And the best place in the world to
find the very men l want is in a
restaurant" said the man a short time
ago TO Times reporter.
The reporter did not see why this
should be so, and the man went on to
explain.
"When in u restaurant, " said he, "you
see man take up the bill of fare and
spend half an hour looking through its
contents you can put that person down
as a man with no decision of character.
The man who goes into restaurant,
throws his hat at peg, and gives the
waiter his order as soon as he is seated is
the man for me. Yoy can depend upon
it, that man can be trusted to know
what he is doing, and is the proper man
to put in a position where decision OF
character is an essential qualification.

PlckpOckets Are Born.

A man must have the physical endow
ment to be a pickpockct, just as a man
must have a certain mental endowment
to be poet, says a noted criminal in the
st. Louis Globe Democrat. The lining of
the pocket must be taken hold of about
an inch from the top on the inside. 1t
must be drawn up easily and quickly at
the same time.
Not more than half a dozen move
ments of the fingers should be necessary
to get the lining out far enough. With
the lining, of course, will come the
pocketbook, and this should never be
touched by the fingers until it is almost
ready TO drop into the hand of the thief
Some experts never touch the book
until it is in the hand. Now, the fingers
TO do this should be slender; not neces.
sarily long, but thin and flexible, and
the best pickpockets are those whose
pnger ends are naturally moist.

Poisoned by Dye In Her Gloves.

''It was the poison from the gloves
that caused her DEATH" said Doctor
James p. Way, shortly after o'clock
the other morning. Lieutenant Cos
grove, one OF the oldest officers in the
police service, receive message that
his wife was dying. A few minutes after
he reached his home his wife lay dead
in his arms. Mrs. Cosgrove, who is
twenty eight years old, went to a ball at
Apollo Hall, on Blue Island avenue.
That afternoon she had done some
shopping along State street, and, among
other things, purchased pair of black
kid gloves. She woe them to the ball
that evening,
On removing them she found they had
slightly stained her hands. The index
finger of the right hand had been
pricked by needle. In the morning
the finger was swollen aud painful.
Thursday noon the hand beclme Affected,
and that night a physician was called.
Doctor Way ordered the hand and arm
poulticed, but the poison had reached
the shoulder. At 2 O'clock, when Lieu
tenant Cosgrove went on duty. his wife
bade him good-by, and seemed in ex-
cellent spirits. At 8 o'clock she was
dead. Mrs. Cosgrove suffered some time
ago with heart-failure. The rapid blood
poisoning that set in from the affected
finger proved fatal before it was deemed
even serious. s.-C Chicug0 Tribune.

Yellowstone Park Scenery.

The merits of the scenery of Yellow
stone Park appear to Professor G.. +.
Wright to have been considerably exag-
gerated. The figures representing the
height of the mountains around it above
the sea are deceptive. A mountain
10000 or II, 900 feet high does not
look extraordinarily large and massive
when it does not rise more than 2000 or
5000 feet above the elevated plateau on
which it stands as base; but those 2000
or 5000 feet are all that is shown Of the
mountain-rim of the park, while the
glimpses 10 the outside mountains are
few and far between. The graudest
views are those on entering the park as
one looks outward TO the cncircling rim.
The geysers, Professor Wright says, are
decidedly vulgar, and one can afford to
die without seeing them. Boiling paint
pots, with only one dull color in them,
arc not inspiring, Acres of land, laid
waste by sulphurous waters and gases,
such as greet one on every hand in these
geyser basins, can be seen at any time in

MennOns of To-Day.

The energy OF modern artillery is some
thing appalling, and threatens to destroy
friend and foe together. A sixty-seven
ton gun on the British battle-ship Ira
falgar was pointed directly ahead and
fired with $50 pounds of slow-burning
powder and a 1250-pound projectile.
The blast produced by the rush of pow
der-gas and the shot was so tremendous
that the plates of the forecastle were
forced in and the deck beams bent out
of shape. A hint of what the effect
might be on the enemy will be given at
the Naval Exhibition, where will be
shown projectile that has been fired
from 1l0-ton gun. This remarkable
shot is said to have been driven in sue.
cession through a twenty inch steel plate,
eight-inches of iron, twenty feet OF oak
balks, five feet OF granite, and eleven
feet of concrete, finally lodging at IA
depth of three feet in mass of brick

AS Randolph sat at breakfast with his
guest, a chase drove up to the door, and
from it alighted Mr.. Murch, the hateful
agent. He entered without knocking,
and unceremoniously addressed the old
man, paying no heed to the stranger.
"Your time is up to-day, old fellow,
| and If my client still owned the mort
gage, my business here would be to turn
you out. But he don't; he's sold it to
somebody whom you'll probably see here
soon enough. l was going by, and l
thought I'd call in aud congratulate
you"
"Heaven will be donel" calculated
Perry covering his face.
ats just about time it was," Murch
rejoined, with heartless iusolence.
you've given trouble enought about
that mortgage, and it's quite time you
was set adrift on your travels"
''Leave the house. you scoundrel !"
roared the guest, jumping up angrily and
menacing Murch with his fist.
"And who might you be, my lad1"
the latter sneeringly asked.
al am the owner of the mortgage, and, i,
l am able and willing to punish you for
your cruelty to this old man."
And seizing the agent by his coat
collar with a grip of iron, the strong man
spun him about like top--slamming
him with no gentle force against the wall
till the breath was knocked out of his
body; and then opening the door, he cast
him out into the wet grass. A minute
later the crestfallen agent rose and limped
out to his chaise sore aud bruised and
humbled in feelings. 1t was his first and
last visit to Northampton.
The stranger reclosed the door and
knelt beside the astonished old man and
took his hands.
"Dont you know me, fatherl" he
asked in a trembling voice. "Will you
take back your prodigal son who de-
serted you so cruelly9 l never was bad
at heart, father; it was Robinson Crusoe,
more than anything else, that made me
run away. I've come back now, after
years of wandering, with money enough
for both of us. I've paid the mortgage,
and want to live with you here, at
Northampton. My heart has been
yearning to you ever since set foot in the
house; I've been ready to reveal myself
dozen times, but it faltered on my lips.
Forgive me now, father; forgive me,
and let us dwell in peace and forget the
past"
His voice failed him and his head sank
on his fathers knee, aud the glad old
man bent over him with streaming eyes,
fondly smoothing his'hair and faltering,
"God has given me of His bounty when
l deserved His curse. May my Father in
heaven and my son on earth forgive
me!n
