Narrow Escape of Theirs.


The vigilance OF an old-tine customs Off

The child. 8 years old, had been put in a
peach basket borne by a donkey, and the
mother, fearing the child might take cold
1t was in NOvembeT-had covered the boy
with thick brown shawl. Tired with run
ming around the country all day, coy and
warm under the thick shawl, the child was
soon asleep and hidden By the sides Of the
basket
When the city gates were neared. the
mother, forgetting all about the child,
walked distance behind the donkey and
did not make him stop at the eustom-house
TO be searched. The customs officer, seeing
the donkey jag On without stopping, sus-
pected that he was laden with smuggled
goods and ran after him to thrust his sharp
steel probe. through the basket. Luckily
the mother observed him, ran forward and
screamed:

Detective Work as q Profession.

The growth of the detective profession
has been brought home to US by recent
publication in an evening contemporary
A private detective Office in London was
reported to have sent out an extraordi.
nary number of detectives-as they
doubtless prefer to be called-for en-
ployment at the Chicago exhibition, and
our contemporary had interviewed the
chief of the Office upon the subject. The
number Of detectives actually likely to
be employed on this occasion proved to
be very much smaller than was at first
reported, but for all that they were suffi-
ciently numerous to prove fairly large
demand for their services.
In other respects, however, the account
that this gentleman gave Of his business
was of interest, though the interest was
not always Of a pleasant kind. He sug-
gested that use for his men would be
found by fnanciers and business men,
who might require secret agents work.

market secrets, inventions, watching
what spectators are doing and that

that "that sort of thing is becoming
much more general in England"
We are sorry to hear 1t for the credit
of English commerce. Most of them, he
admitted, would do private work-so.

things Of that Sort" THAT sort OF

somewhat indefinite expressions; never

are quite definite enough. Our imagina.

distaste for the blank when filled in.--

else to do except to take care Of the dog.
His hands were almost hidden by the

shoulders and back in a manner more
comfortable than graceful. The pants
looked like segmented cloth rings, piled
one on top Of the other from the ground

A Chinese Idea of Ben,ltr.

There really seems to be no end to
the queer things which are done by the
women of other countries to make their
faces conform to their own ideas of female
beauty. The feet, as you know, are dc
formed in China and Japan, and in some
countries the woman go SO far as to press
their children's heads between boards 50
as to make them fiat, because they con-
slider fat heads pretty and far superior
in beauty to the natural shape. T'!n -.
dian women thickly smear their hei.l
with bears fat. The Turkish women vi
most without exception color tlic.r L;.i:
red. In Greenland the women cCiol
their faces blue and yellow. The women
and children of Guzurat stain their teeth
black, while the ladies of India and
Japan gild their teeth and make them as
brilliant as possible. But it remains for
the Chinese to do something which we
in our country would consider very bar
barous and cruel indeed.
The Chinese do not admire small eyes,
and to reach their standard of beauty a
girls eyes must be not only very large,
but very long and brilliant. The eyes
are easily made brilliant by putting GER
tain drugs in them. but to make them
long when nature has not intended them
to be so is quite another matter. To ac-
complish it the women have often re.
course to kind of home surgery which
must be very painful. A Chinese mother
who has child affected with small eyes
takes the child at the age Of 10 or 10 and
Sits the eyelid at the corner, just where
it joins the lower lid. A very small slit
Is made, and this is then left to heal. AS
soon as it is healed it is slit again, and
this process is continued until the eyes
appear very long and prominent.-Ex-

The STOPPING Habit.

One of the greatest and most COM
mon deformities of the day that are
laid bare by the prevailing styles of
men and women's attire is one that,
with little care and attention, can
be remedied. 1t is the round shoul-
dered OF STOPPING habit. l say habit
because, as a rule, it results from
habit. Look through this car. Even
the best natural figures show this
tendency to stoop, while in the mar
row chested it is marked to a painful
degree. And yet, by raising ones
self leisurely upon the toes in a per,
position several times a
day, this deformity could be easily
rectifed. To do this properly one
must be in perfectly upright posi-
ton, the arms dropping at the side,
the heels well together and the toes
forming an angle of As degrees. -

The Oldest Tree on Earth.

The Oldest tree on earth, at least as
far as any one knows, is the Boo tree
in the sacred city of Amarapoora,
Burmah. 1t was planted, the records
say, in the year 2SS B. c., and is
therefore 1900 years old. Its great
age is proved by historic documents,

Trees of Canada.

Some portions of Canada and the
Province of Quebec produce fine
trees. The soil of upper and lower
California and through to Oregon
produce noble specimens of the an
cient forests. The color, density and
porosity of the soil denotes that trees
grown in those regions attain i'm

bination and decomposition of all

BUILT A RAILROAD ON FAITH.
A Texas Man who Constructed n SIX Hun
dred Mile Line on e5.

A Texas Man who Constructed n Six Hun
dred Mile Line on e5.
From south Texas came man who
built GOO miles of railroad with SIS
bill and faith, and the bill was bor-
rowed one. He moved up from Cor
pus Christi 10 San Antonio with all
his possessi ms heaped or. a 2-wheeled
cart He got a charter to build q
railroad from San Antonio to Aran-
sas Pass. He graded a mile of it,
throwing good deal more than one
shovel full of dirt with his own
hands. Thereceiver of another road
loaned this indefatigable builder
enough old rails for a mile of track.
In a distant part of the state was
purchased an engine which had been
condemned six years before and sent
to the shops to be wrecked for scrap
iron. Two old cars were picked up
somewhere else at a bargain, and
that old engine, drawing those old
cars. steamed into San Antonio. On
engine and cars in bold lettering was
painted in lampblack, rs. A. and A.
P"
With one mile of old rail track
and with the equipment of the old
engine and the two old cars Uriah
Lott started the Arkansas Pass sys-
tenn. There has been some tall finan-
ciering in the history of railroad
building in this country, but there
isn't anything which for dazzling
pluck quite approaches the story of
the building of this 600 miles of road
in south Texas. To the one mile of
track there were added three miles
by a dicker for some secondhand
rails which street car company had
bought from narrow gauge COM
pany. On this basis a credit trade
was made with a Pennsylvania roll
ing mill for 10 miles of rails. When
they arrived, there wasn't money
enough in the treasury to pay the
freight, but it was got somehow.
Ten miles of track gave the founda-
ton for bonds which built 40 miles
more, and so the system grew into
it's present proportions. This man
who built the Arkansas Pass system
rode from San Antonio to Chicago at
one critical period in his enterprise
without cent in his pocket. He had
transportation, but he hadn't any
thing to buy food, and he went right
through hungry. Louis Globe

Ten Pence For Seat In Parliament.

Candidates for parliamentary honors
who have groaned under the heavy bur-
den of election expenses will regard with
envy the cheap means by which Mr.. Dav-
lit secured his seat for Cork. All the
money that Mr.. Davitt expended was 10
pence, the cost of a telegram acknowledge
ing the official intimation Of his return.
OF course it must be remembered that
Mr.. Davitt's election was unopposed, but
not every member who enjoys walkover
can boast that his seat cost him less than
Q shilling. Ten pence is believed TO be
the lowest sum recorded, and it might
have been reduced to a penny If Mr..
Davitt had been content to use the post
instead of the telegraph wire.-London

Lifo In Suburban Towns,

A French woman recently wrote to q
Paris litterateur asking for remedy for
the "one-day -like-anotber complaint. u
II ive," she says. ''in dull provincial
town, where there is not woman who
can read or talk; if read, have no one
to discuss the book with, and have ar.
rived at the desperate point Of despair
where would like to bite some one."
The itterateur, according to the &C.
count, did not much help her, as he
merely, in reply. admitted the fact in q
quotation from De Musset, which was
in effect that there is no more common
trouble in life than the trouble of com.
mon soul.
Perhaps the only echo of the French
woman's wall could be found over here
in the suburban towns of large city.
The smallest detached villages and
towns of America seem to have occu
patton and excitement of one sort or an
other that make life endurable. Those
however, which are merely the overflow
of metropolitan center are often the
loneliest places on earth.
"Ihave almost died with the monotony
Of my ife," said q woman living in q
small Jersey suburb recently. "until
now, when can get into New York
