Tho French Detectixe.

Every good detective has to come ex.
tent his own way of working. which is
varied, ofecourse, according to the cir
cumstances. We may say, however, that
as rule the Parisian agent has freer
hand and works in somewhat bolder,
more self reliant manner than his Eng
ish colleague. This follows from his
isolation; he is less helped by ''informa-
ton received" and too badly paid to buy
it, SO he is forced to acquire it by his
own exertionS.
A favorite method is to assume the
disguise of a workingman or hawker,
and here it may be said that the use of
an elaborate makeup exists now only in
books. Every Jealous hand has his own
little wardrobe, and the simpler the bet
ter. The most effectual DISCUSSES are
those which best assimilate the wearer
to common life. The Partisan has two
in particular-the blouse and the work
mans apron.
'Shadowing" is always done by two
men, one some little way behind the
other. Each carries change of dress
to wit, blouse wound sashwise around
the waist and a casquette carried inside
the shirt. The moment the first man
fancies himself perceived he gives place
to the second, and dropping behind
slips the blouse over his jacket and ex-
changes his felt hat for the casquette.
Thus metamorphosed he resumes his
place.-London Saturday Review

sTATE OFFICIALs,
DECORATION DAY.

Next Monday is the day, when by
common consent the nation garlands
with flowers the graves of its heroic dead.
Precious beyond earth's richest jewels,
more fragrant than the roses we scatter
upon the cold clay above them, sweeter
than the music of earth's choicest min
strelsy is the memory of those who lived
and died to make and keep us free. No
marble shaft or sculptured monument
may mark their resting place or tell the
record of their deeds. The tale is written
on grateful nations heart. Gathered
around the friendly earth that conceals
their precious dust we scatter fresh
flowers upon their graves to keep their
memory green. For us on tented field
or open plain they bore the hardship of
the winters blast or summers sun or
boldly braved the cannon's mouth and
shot and shell or not less nobly perished
in the prison pen by gaunt starvation or
by foul disease. For us they left the
homes they. loved and friends that loved
them in return. to die perchance with
out Il friendly hand to close their CLASSY
eyes. The blood they shed is the seed of
the nations liberty and the nation shall
cherish it while the stars and stripes
continue to float over free people.

The athena Press says: ''Ellis, the
republican nominee for congressman,
owes his nomination to ex-Gov Moody,
of The Dalles, who is an open champion
of the Union Pacific and against an
open river. Ellis himself has been an
attorney for the Union Pacific. Vote for
Luce" Let the..Press vote for Luce if it
wants to. A vote for Luce is half vote
I. for Ellis, for Luce has no more show to
be elected than the Press man himself,
who is not candidate; but Ellis does
not owe his nomination either directly
or indirectly to ex- Governor Moody.
Moody's candidate was Senator Hilton.
When the Press says ''Ellis has been an
attorney for the Union Pacific" it says
what is equally false, and what, we had
almost said.sit knows to be false. No
paper making any pretention to respect
ibility can afford to lie in this fashion.

Dickens as an Art Critic.

The son of a neighbor of Dickens, then
a very young artist-indeed, quite boy
had painted his first picture, the sub
ject being az: aged knight in full armor,
from the wars, and overcome with ia
tigue. Finding himself unable to reach
his ancestral castle, he sinks exhausted
on fallen tree in a sort of orchard, allo
some cottage children bring him some
fruit to recruit his exhausted strength
Dickens took great interest in the young
artist-who, by the way, is now very
eminent-and greatly admired his pic
ture, especially the figure of the old
knight; but, MY dear fellow" he said,
''those apples won't be of any use-that
old gentleman requires burned brandy

Wheat Docs Not Grow wild.

The existence of names for wheat i'll
the most ancient languages confirms the
evidence of its great antiquity and of its
cultivation in the more temperate parts
of Europe, Asia and Africa. From the
evidence adduced by botanists of high
standing, it seems highly improbable
that wheat has never been found grow
ing persistently in wild state, although
it has often been asserted by poets, trav-
elers and historians.
In the Odyssey, for example, we are
told that wheat formerly grew in Sicily
without the aid of man. Diodorus re-
peats the tradition that Osiris found
wheat and barley growing promiscu-
ously in Palestine, but neither this nor
other reputed discoveries of wheat
growing wild seem at all credible, see
ing that it does not appear to be endow-
ed with the power of persistency, ex-
cept under continued culture.-St Louis
Republic.

A word About stage dialogue.

The art of writing good stage dialogue
is still inchoate. 1t must be natural,
and yet when it is natural it is beneath
the dignity of the drama, and must be
elevated again to the proper pitch. Man
ifestly the stage is not to blame for this,
but the world of society, which is too
loquacious and frivolous, and lives with
out regard to the compensations, keep
ing and culminations of art. Only the
esoteric essence of our life is now fit for
dramatic representation, and the dram

tray that essence are-shal1 we say he

Theology a Progressive Science.

Theology is always as much pro-
gressive science as geology. If 1000 of
the wisest, purest, most intellectual,
most healthy scholars in Christendom
today We're to formulate a creed ont of
the New Testament scriptures, as they
are known today, that theology state
ment could not remain the same to the
date of A. d. 1892. The power, the
thought, the study of Thousand years
would throw it into new forms of ex-
preston, while the substance would re-
main the same.-Beacon.
