or embezzlers of the century, or the
cleverest murderers, and their arrest has
been brought about by some tritling, I'M
considered incident which detective skill
has developed. The cleverest and one
of the most extensive forgers of this
country was sent to penal cell in
England for number of years, and the
only thing upon which tho authorities
had to worl; was a letter, found in o,
thousand scraps i'll his room. A bright
fire was in the apartment at the time of
his capture, and even the man with no
desire to hide his correspondence would
have availed himself Of its presence to
destroy useless written communications.
But the criminal seems TO overlook these
small points.-Globe- Democrat.

was as light as air. "Of course" he con-
tinued, aluminium Is no new discovery
but it is only lately that the cost of pro-
duction has brought il within the possi-
bilities of ordinary use. The most char
acteristic feature and great advantage OF
the metal is its wonderful lightness, as you
see. 1t is very much like silver, but is only
one-fourth its weight. II has one other
great advantage that every housekeeper
will see with Joy, and that is that it never
oxidizes or furnishes. An evidence OF its
practical use is shown in the fact Of its re-
cent introduction into the German army
as the material for all canteens and other
military accoutrements.

A Plant Easy OF Cultivation and Beau
tiful for Decoration.
The admirable adaptability OF ivy for
house culture is not properly understood
by house florists. In the first place ivy
naturally delights in situation partially
or wholly shaded from the sun, which
permits OF its growing or being trained
in any part OF the room and at any dis
tance from the window. Unlike many
plants II Is not at all particular re-
garding temperature, or II the atmosphere
be dry or damp; frosts do not affect
It, as it is always green, and on the other
hand it will bear seventy five degrees or
upward OF heat with impunity. The
plant requires but little attention, is ex-
ceptionally free from insects and will
thrive for long time under neglect that
would kill outright most plants. The ivy
bears no flowers, but its foliage presents
q remarkably clean, bright, glossy ap-
pearance, and is Of an attractive deep green
color. 1t is very tractable, and il planted
in q large sized pot and perma-
nently placed in the parlor or sitting
room it may be trained to cover the side
of an apartment or ceiling, festoon a pill
lar, climb and trail about window sill
or up wire screen. Like all foliage
plants, il is greatly improved by washing
the leaves. By the way, it is necessary to
go over the window collection at least
once a week and sponge the plants on
both sides of the leaves. When sweeping
