OF knee pants, long stockings, colored
shirts, straw hats with broad bright
colored bands matching the necktie of
the wearer and no two alike. The cos

the conclusion of the cantata the milk

Animal Barometers.

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid of rain, but it is singularly
80. Twenty-four hours or more before
rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes
for some convenient shelter. On a
bright clear morning, when not cloud
is to be seen, the denizens of tortoise
farm on the African coast may be seen
sometimes heading for the nearest over
hanging rocks. When that happens, the
proprietor knows that rain will come
down during the day, and as a rule it
comes down in torrents. The sign never
fails. This presensation, to coin a
word, which exists in many birds and
beasts may be explained partly from
the increasing weight Of the atmosphere
when rain is forming, partly by habits
Of living and partly from the need of
moisture which is shared by all. The
American catbird gives warning of an
approaching thunderstorm by sitting
on the low branches Of the dogwood
tree (whether this union Of the feline
with the canine Is invariable the depo.
nent sayeth not), uttering curious notes.
Other birds, including the familiar rob-
in, it is said, give similar evidence Of
an impending change in the weather.

Mig Men and Women.

What enormous fellows and what ie-
viathan persons some of these Swedish
men and women arei Nowhere will
you see such noble specimens Of adult
humanity as in Stockholm's streets.
The feature seems to pervade all class
es, though it is not least striking among
the nobility. Six feet is q common
height for man here, and really do
not believe exaggerate in saying that
men of feet 0 or 4 inches are as
abundant in Stockholm as men of 9 feet
with us.
The tallness of the women is just as
noteworthy. You remark it less, how
ever, because they are so we'll proper
toned. They say it is easy to tell by
the size of the boots outside the doors
which rooms Of hotel are occupied by
the Swedish fair. This Is very en-
durable hit at the Swedish ladies.
Though they do wear skies or sevens in
shoe leather, no sculptor would find
fault with them on professional
grounds. Moreover, they have most
winsome compilations, and Of course
blue eyes are nowhere more intensely
blue than here.
1t is comforting to know-I speak on
the evidence of one Of the pensionnaires
that Swedish maidens have great ad-
miration for English bachelors. They
read French novels, but they believe in
English bridegrooms. The blood bond
still exists, suppose, between them and

A Legend of Nantucket.

About Vineyard sound there are
numerous legends Of famous Indian
giant. It is said that the rocks at Sea-
comet are the remains Of his wife,
whom he threw into the sea there. He
turned his children into fishes, and emp
tying out his pipe one day formed
Nantucket out Of its ashes. This latter
story of Nantucket's source must &C.
count likewise for the well known story
of that old Nantucket captain who was
accustomed to make his reckonings by
tasting the earth brought up on sound
ing. One day the lead was dipped in
some earth brought on board ship from
the island, and the captain, after tast-
ing, leaped from his berth in great ex-
citement exclaiming, Nantucket 8
sunk, and here we are right over old
Marin Hackett's garden" Naturally,
he would recognize the taste Of tobacco
ashes. s.-Boston Transcript.

RoeuES DREAD THE CAMERA.

photographs Are the Greatest Police Aid
In Capturing Criminals.
Tho greatest aid that the thief taker
Of today has In his possession IL the
photograph. The thief and outlaw
dread the photograph above all things.
The long immunity from arrest of
Frank and Jesse Jax"a was due to the
fact that no pictul ~uf them had ever
been taken. They were thus enabled to
walk the streets OF bansGs City and ST.
Louis, e. attend thoaters. play faro in
crowded banks, loll around the rotunda
of the Planters hotel and attend the
race meetings of the west.
The vanity of the wild western train
robbers, bank holdups and horse thieves
has, in scores of instances, led them to
pose before the camera Of the travelling
tintype artist. After that capture was
easy. The Dalton and Starr gangs owe
their capture to this weakness. But
the high class crook never has picture
taken unless it is taken by force and
by police officers. A glance at the
rogues' gallery on the walls OF the chief
of detectives office will show hun
dred instances Of where men have
fought desperately against the process.
All this amounts to nothing. No
man can distort his face so as not to
leave recognizable feature. He can
not change the shape Of his nose, his
chin, his ears or the general outline Of
his head. The ear is particularly
valuable feature In Identification. No
two men in the world have ears exact
ly alike. The construction will differ,
and the general expression of the ear
has an individuality of its own. One
pair of ears will stand out from the
head like wings; another pair will lay
close to the skull as II pinned there
It will be noticed that the subject is al
ways posed so as to bring in the ears.
Police prefer view Of the face and
head, the larger the better, to full
length view Where there are pecul-
iarities Of carriage or eccentricities of
form, such as short legs, long legs, long
body, long apelike arms or peculiar
slouch, additional pictures are taken,
| but as n rule these matters are left to
the descriptive circular.
IN Ontt III thc toiio pho-
tographed for police purposes may
count his career practically ended.
Every police and detective agency in
the country and every penitentiary war
den or prison governor are supplied with
copy of it. He is taken in on sus.
picion on the strength of his features
made familiar. His alias is swept
away by comparison with it and the
details that accompany it, The search
for a fugitive is continued into the
prisons of the country. It is very
common thing for criminals who are
hard pressed for the commission of q
capital crime to do like Jack Shea, the
murderer of Officer Doran, did-commit
burglary or some minor crime and
get put away for few years in prison
Many man has eluded pursuit wher
capture meant death by this ruse, but
the photograph has reduced the success
of this plan to the minimum. All mem
bers Of the detective force are required
to study the faces of tho criminals sent
in by circular. Louis Globe-Dem

Jowett,s Concentration.

Another story of Professor Jowett.
A student who had passed his greats"
with some distinction had, as was his
wont, been taken up by the master and
asked to partake of his hospitality.
Tete-a-tete, the master inquired: Well,
Mr.. -, what do you think of meta
physicist" "Oh," was the consequent
tial reply, my two years study has
convinced me that metaphysics are
humbug." Indeed calmly observed
the professor, "then you are a very

their SEVENTEEN or eightieth year and

panic In n street Car.

ranic In n street Car.
A big, broad shoull.r !, handsome
man boarded Russell uYcnue car Mt
Wisconsin street and took II seat near
the front door. He was perhlps 40 or
45 years of age, well dressed, and of
imposing appearance, but there were II
wild, startled look about his face and
an unuGsiucs5 in his manner indicating
that something was wrong. Tho car
had gone only short distance when he
began to pull nervously away from the
corner, casting frightened glances over
his shoulder as though ho saw some
thing beside him.
Suddenly he jumped up and rushed
to the door of the car, throwing his arms
wildly, as though beating off an assail-
ant. and falling over the other passen-
gers in his haste to get ont.
"Shoot himl Shoot himl" he shout
ed to the conductor.
"Shoot him quick, or I'll have to pull
his head off cant stand this any
longer. He's after me! Shoot him, ]
say, OF I'll pull his head Off,
The quick witted conductor, taking
in the situation at glance, pulled
him out on the back platform and slam
med the door behind him. There, "
he said, "he can't get you now. I'll
keep him in the car.
But the assurance did not satisfy the
unfortunate man. He covered behind
the conductor and peered over his shoul-
der to watch his imaginary pursuer.
"There he comesl Throw him out ~
he shouted again, clinging to the con-
ductor in abject terror.
"You stay here, and I'll throw him
out the front door, " said the conductor,
to pacify him.
"Will you throw him over tho dash
board2"
"Yes.
And will the mules trample on
him2"
YES"
And will the car run over himH"
"Yes."
That's right-that will serve him
right-throw him over tho dashboard, -
and he laughed in great glee over the
project of getting rid Of his adversary.
The conductor went into the car and
pretended to take somebody out of the
far corner and push him out of the
front door. The mailman on the real
platform shouted his appreciation and
jumped up and down with joy. There
he goes" he screamed, "push him
over-don't let him get away-push
him over-shovo him under the cart
serves him right-he can't get me
now!"
The ladies in the car were thoroughly
frightened, and but for the GOODNESS OF
the conductor there might have been q
stampede.

soon as possible, which quieted them
