attached to headquarters and in immo-

of one superintendent and about thirty

distributed among the twenty-five di-

ment, either by way of his daily report
or at once if the affair be very serious.
Such report passes through a chief Off
Ger of the criminal investigation de-
partment, and then goes to the director;
if urgent and out of hours it is tele-
graphed to his house. He can then act
in several ways, according to the nature
and severity of the case; he may leave
i! entirely in the hands of the superin-
tendent, or he may issue instruction to
direct the divisional inspector, in which
case the latter will act in concert with
the superintendent; or. again, he may
instruct a member of his own staff,
who, in turn, may act with the super
intendent or independently. Not to
weary the reader with detail, the main
points Of the system are the local dis
tribution of the detective force and its
interaction with the ordinary force

Delightful Cuatoms Abroad.

II had rather unique experience the

francisco girl, in the Neu York Tribune,
for l came out in New York, Berlin,
aud afterward in London; and am
,hli sed to say that found more kindl-
ness and real courtesy in Germany than
anywhere else, although many of the
u.toms struck me as very curious. a
stranger in either London or New York
,as a hard time of it in society unless sho
exceptionally gifted with beauty or
money but in Germany every one is at
.nst welcomed with cordiality, and the
habit of universal introductions puts one
ut ones ease at once.
Coming straight from New York
where must confess | had been received,
if not with rudeness at least with the
most uncomplimentary Indifference, the
contrast was most striking. The even
ing after my arrival l attended, a little
gathering where there was some dancing
and more conversation; and to my sur
Prise and qualification, every man in the
.onm asked to be presented to me.
This was indeed a pleasant change
from New York, where have felt my
elf forlorn and an alien, and l was
none the less pleased with the kindly
young officers to learn that these marks
of civiity were not personal at all, being
merely the usual way of welcoming
stranger.
"Some of the German ways, however,
struck me, as have said. as being very
queer indeed. l never quite became
reconciled to the habit OF hand-kssing.
At first it gave me quite shock when,
after dinner-party, the man took me in
to dinner escorted me to the door, and
with low bow and 'Gesegnete Mahi-
zeit Gnadgste,' "A blessed meal, most
gracious one,' kissed my hand.
II am told that this formality is gon-
orally omitted now, but several years
ago it was quite universal; but the hand
Kissing still continues, believe for part

many which is becoming more or less
prevalent over here now, is that instead
of having supper spread in one room
where everyone is supposed to go in
solemn procession, a posse of walters

are unfolded and placed in all the rooms
for the guests, each one being arranged
comfortably with plates, forks, knives,

This is great improvement over our
fashion of holding our plates in our laps,
and putting our champagne glasses on
the floor. In Germany, by the way, no

after dance as matter of course. The
said dance belongs to the man who has

When fash of lightning darts through
the air it vaporizes any minute particles
of floating matter that may be in its
path. BY examining tho light of light
ming with spectroscope the nature of
these vaporizing substances may be de-
termined, because every known element
in nature shows in its spectrum certain
lines that belong to it alone. BY study
ing the spectrum of lightning in this
way, w. E Wood, of Washington, has
recently been able to show that sodium,
which is the element from which com
mon salt is formed, exists in the air. He
suggests various ways for accounting for
the presence of sodium in the atm"s'

teresting and that is, that it may have

SING CARE AWAY.

When things in the world about you
Seem someway going wrong,
And clouds shut out life's sunshine.
Then sing some cheerful song.
Some blithesome and happy measure
Will tighten life of care,
And give US strength for the burdens
That all of us have to bear.
Sing, and your weary neighbor
VIII hear the cheerful strain,
And his heavy heart grow lighter
AS the fields grow glad from rain.
In the spell Of the music's magic
His lips repeat the song,
And so men help each other,
And make the weak ones strong.
Sing and forget, my brother,
The cares that fill the day.l
There's help in a song, believe it,
And prove it. as you may.
There's nothing gained by signing,
It's ever the wisest plan
To sing away ones trouble
And be happy, If we can.

MAX NJ. EPSTEIN is mentioned as a
suitable man to succeed the omnipres
ent Brown as postmaster of that highly
taxed municipality, Toledo, on the
Maumee. This mention pleases us
much, and as we have some out lots in
Toledo, that have just been assessed for
asphalt pavement where there are but
few houses in sight, we may be said to
have some interest in the Toledo mails.
Hence we have considerable interest
in the next postmaster of Toledo. If
Mr. Eppstein wants it, he can have all
the good words we can write in his be-
half. 1t is best to give the paying
postoflces to the best workers, as a
man who is worker in the party will
make good worker in the poStoflice,
If a man can hustle the males to the
polls successfully, before election, he is
fully equipped to poll and distribute
the mails after the election. Max Epp.
stein is one of the ablest aud most alert
Democrats in Toledo, and if he gets to
be postmaster, we have big rooster
with gaff5 two inches long that will
appear in red ink in this journal of
our civilization.

THE Boston Post says: "The phase of
Anglomania which suggests the nam
ing of an American poet as laureate of
this republic is perhaps the most ab-
surd that has been developed. An
official poet could not exist on this soil.
Here every singer binds his own brows
with such LEAKAGE as seems to him
sweetest; and he on whom the great
people bestow the laurel wears it by
their grace and only so long as he sings
TO please them. Our laureates hold
their place by popular suffrage" This
is true, but what 10 the populace know
about real poets, and what do they care
for them, when they know them. Hence
our poet laureates, who write catchy
verses, in current slang, for the popu-
lace, bear about the same relation to a
real poet,as Guinea pig does to a bird
of paradise.

GooD advice will be wasted upon the
Democrats, who will run things to suit
themselves at Washington after the 4th OF
next March, but we cannot help
hoping that their leaders may be induced
TO refrain from the needless folly of adj
mitting Arizona, New Mexico and Utah TO
the Union 90 states.-Cleveland Leader. e.
Don't waste any more ink on such
advice as this. 1t is not good advice;
neither is 1t honest advice. When the
Republicans admitted the territory of
Nevada into the Union, for the purpose
of making two more United States SEN
ators, 1t had population smaller than
the present population of Canton, less
than 10000 Now Arizona has pop.
ulation of over 10000, New Mexico of
$4,000, and Utah of over 100000. The
Republicans admitted Wyoming into
| the Union to Increase their power in
the Senate and I'm the Electoral College,
and yet Wyoming in 1888 had popu-
lation of only 10000, and less than go.
600 when admitted as q state. The
Leader, and all the other organs of the
&. o. p. were heartily in favor OF new
states, when 1t was evident that it
meant Republican dominion for the fu-
ture, but now, when it is proposed to
put some Democrats into the Senate,
by making new states out of territories
| ample in area and population for rep

Mr.. THOMAS &. .SHEARNIAN of Brook
lyn, the well known writer on economic
questions, has laid before Mr.. Cleve-
land plan of operations by which an
early revision of the tariff may be had,
Mr.. Shearman's recommendation, is
that almost Immediately after Mr..
Cleveland's Inauguration, next March,
he shall summon congress in special
session and shall give the members of
his party to understand that no ap-
pointments whatever will be made by
him until tariff bill shall have passed
both houses. The story goes so far as
to say that Mr.. Cleveland, down in the
tangled marshes of Hog Island, is Civ
ing this plan his most prayerful con-
sideration.

THOSE BOA CONSTRUCTORS.

EDITOR SCOTT of the Iron Valley
Reporter, is Republican of the rabid
sort, yet he is able to decipher the hand
writing on the wall. Here is how he
sums it up:
"rhe belief that the Republican
party did not fight with proper vigor
and zeal, this boa constructor trusts"
that are crushing the life out of all
feebler competitors at the expense of
the people, lost it very many votes.
Whether the Democratic party will
profit by these errors remains to be
seen; but the belief is, that they will
take steus to throttle these soulless
and greedy anacondas; and it is to be
hoped that President Cleveland's at.
torney general will find some means of
starting proceedings at an early date.
The sugar trust, the coal oil trust, and
other branches of the hydra-headed
monster, need vigorous and relentless
onslaught"

Seeds of trees taken by birds, or by
winds, frequently lodge in some de-
caying mortar crack on the tops of high
buildings, and will grow out and make
quite large trees. One of these is in

top of the city church tower is a
mountain ash, which, about fifteen or
sixteen years ago probably, sprouted.
1t still continues to grow, and has now
reached height of about seven feet.
