THE RIGHT KIND OF A MAN.

William H. Dougal, Esq, and Frank Hallock painted the iron highway bridg- es in this village coat of white paint, last week, which very much improves the appearance of the same, and enables travellers to distinguish them very much easier during the night season. We think MT Doagal is called to undertake more jobs of various kinds than any oth- CT mechanic in this vicinity. It seems to make but little difference whether he is blasting through knotty ledge, or in the judicial chair solving knotty law problem, or suspended on a ladder many feet from ''terra firma'' administering a coat of lead and oil to knotty building. He is the right kind of man.

ways posed so as to bring in the ears.
Police prefer view of the face and
head, the larger the better, to a 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 a peculiar
SLOUGH, additional pictures are taken,
but as rule these matters are left to
the descriptive circular.
A criminal once in the tolls and pho
tographed for police purposes may
count his career practically ended.
Livery police and detective agency in
the country and every penitentiary war
den or prison governor are supplied with
a 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 fugitive is continued into the
prisons of the country. 1t is a very
common thing for criminals who are
hard pressed for the commission of a
capital crime to do like Jack Shea, the
murderer of Officer Doran, did-commit
a burglary or some minor crime and
get put away for few years in prison
Many man has eluded pursuit when
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 the criminals sent
in by circular.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

Animal Barometers.

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid of rain, but it is singularly
so. 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 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 mott, uttering curious notes.
Other birds, including the familiar rob-
in, it is said, give similar evidence of
an impending change in the weather.
