Perkins, cheerfully. "rve got him

Yes" said the Inspector, grimly.
''he's safe enough here" And he
'erked his head toward the river
''Bless you, laughed Perkins, ''he's
nearer China by this time. He'll die
with a rope round his neck yet. Its
a plant, man. Don't you see? He
has murdered himself and bolted
with the swag. That room some
how looked queer. 1t was overdone;
too much blood and too regular.
When found that boot / thought
how it was, and this settled it," said
Perkins, pulling the sheets of blot
ting paper out ofhis pocket and hand
ing them to the Inspector.
There, all over them, were the
words Cowie, Nabob & Co., in neat
clerk-like hand, with that peculiar
flourish at the end which those who
have dealings with that eminent
house knew so well.
That letter to the Balston bank is
forgery. 1t is not the first time he
has screwed Cowie, Nabob & Co. this
trick. He was in their counting room
for five years, came over with forged
character, robbed them to the tune OF
f2, 900 and bolted. He's been snug
Cling and thIeving all over the world
since then. But when is the next
train to town? l wouldn't miss him
FOR anything"
Perkins was right.
The manager Of the Balston bank
found to his astonishment that Cowie,
Nabob s. Co. repudiated the letter
which purported to bear their sigma
ture. 1t was forgery.
On the following Tuesday the Cap
tam was arrested at the London
docks as he was booking his passage
for Melboune, and at the Balston as
sizes he was tried by the name Of
Joseph Tonce on a charge OF forgery
and sentenced to penal servitude for
the rest of his natural life. His cred
itors at Bradtown were the only per-
sous who regretted him.

A large empty box can be converted
into a lounge If some little trouble and

OSTRICH FARMING IN CALIFOR-

Most people have heard something
OF ostrich farming in South Africa, but
few, comparatively, know that within
the last ten years ostrlches have been
imported into Southern California, and
thrive well in that beautiful climate.

owned by an EnglIshman, at NorwaIk,
Los Angeles County, California, and

of these interesting big birds, with
their attitudes queer and quaint, as
well as some sketches. When going
amongst the birds it is sometimes nec-
essary to carry a long, forked stick,
and If they should show fight they are

OF the fork of the stick to their necks.

rushing up with forked sticks to choke
them off before they have time TO in

varied by giving them chopped up
sugar -beets, maize, and alfalfa hay,
cut up and well moistened, and
thus even a small farm of twenty
acres, highly cultivated, can
support ole hundred ostriches. The
first plncking, from chicks six months
old, averages II 8. per bird at whole
sale prices, after which the birds are
plucked every seven months, the sec

have a ready sale at 81, and upwards,

ors to the ostrich farms are also another
source of profit. A duty of twenty Fl ve
per cent. levied on raw feathers i'm

ostrich farmer there an additional ad-

then gluing the whole thing upon tho

The USE OF EMPTIES.
BIZ NARY EvANGELrNK BURoH.

In many houses empty boxes and
pots, etc, are often thrown away, when,
with the expenditure of little time
and trouble, they might be easily con-
verted into pretty and useful articles,
the list OF which II would not be pos
sible to exhaust. However, 1 intend
here to suggest how some of these can
be made, and inventive minds and
handy fingers will soon evolve many
varieties for themselves.
Empty fruit boxes can be utlli Zed in
many ways. They make capital flower
boxes if painted green, and used with a
little drainage In the way of broken
flower pots and stones placedst the bot
tom, and the boxes themselves stood on

rs to allow water to escape.
In Fig. you will see exactly how an
empty box can be turned into a very
convenient receptacle for hanging
above your washstand. to contain the

Foot-stools can easily be made from
small square boxes turned over, pad
ded well, and covered with some pretty
stuff, embroidered or not, as your
taste and power of working dictate.
The work-bag in Fig 6 is made from
an old barrel covered with embroidered
material, and lined carefully with some
pretty stuff or silk which, drawn up a.
you will see it done, makes capital
bag. The lining can be glued down
inside.
The above plan answers very we'll for
a waste paper basket-box rather
which Is such q convenient sppendage
to writing table. 1t is often useful
too in any room, whether writing be
done there or no, for, as the French so
truly call it, it is a cache d. Ordre.
Ends of strings, snippings of paper or
stuff, and any odds snd ends to be
thrown away, often litter q room, par
ticularly when there is not a fire into
which to throw them.
Empty baskets, such as strawberries
are sold in, can he turned into very
charming pIncushIoBs if stuffed and
trimmed, and these also form good
foundations for work-bags.
These are merely suggestions, and l
have no doubt that If you are clever
and inventive, you will soon have q list
of your own of the many pretty and
useful things which can he made out OF
what is often thrown away, or looked
upon as useless lumber.

A Airsuts Hum bug.

The American Analyst is journal
published in New York, and is of
very modest, ,uupretentious size. But
the character of its contents moro
than compensates for this disadvan-
tage, If indeed it be a disadvantage.
The Analyst is each week veritable
gold mine OF reliable information.
From it we quote the following:
Ladies should be careful how they
use vaSeline on the face, for the result
uf a number Of experiments has in
duced the suspicion that persistent
use of it will cause hair to grow on
almost any part of the face. There
have been instances known Of ladies
inducing a heavy growth Of hair on
the upper lip and chin by using vas
cline to drive away pimples. Like
some other medicam0nts, yaseline Is
200 new to allow Of all its properties
being yet fully known, but the fact
that it will induce a growth of hair,
If persistently used, seems TO be fairly
well settled"
The above clipping is going the
rounds of the press, and being SEEM
ingly valuable information, is extern
sivsly copied. 1t Is really an adver-
tisement in disguise for the concern
which manufactures yaseliue, and
claims to have the exclusive
right to sell pumpwdx under that
name. The worst of it is that it cou-
tains an unmitigated untruth. Vas
cline will not make the hair grow.
but not being true fat acid is really
Injurious to the scalp. Our advice is
to avoid it. This bubble about the
virtues of vaseline must be pricked.
Some time ago a similar squib went
the rounds of newspapers, wherein
vaseline was recommended as good
application for shoes and leather.
Every currier can tell you that it is
absolutely injurious Let it alone

to have it so that it can be drawn quite
aside, you should mount it upon rings
to run upon stout cord, or better
still, a rod fastened on the box. At
any house furnishing store you will
get some "eyes, to be fastened at the
back of the box, by which it can lie
hung against the wall. This kind of
thing, If made with a larger box, is
very useful as a boot-box. Boots end
shoes are by no means improved by
being left out in the dust, nor are they
an ornament to a bedroom.
A charming work-box-or table,
ratter-which [ once saw made by
friend of mine, is well illustrated in
Fig. 2. This is made of square emp
ty wooden box, which is fastened upon
four legs. The latter are simply

MORE POLICEMEN.
Tho Mayor Thinks They Are Bad

Tho Mayor Thinks They Are Badly
Needed.
At the next meeting Of the city coun-
Gil the mayor will probably again ask
that 20 additional policemen be appoint
ed for the euburbs in the more thickly
resident portions OF the city.
The mayor is in earnest in his declar-
alton that more police officers are need
ed. He said yesterday that many re-
ports of danger in the outlying districts
come to him almost daily. He gave an
illustration of the need OF extra police-
men in saying that be was told by agen-
tleman that the latter's house was vis-
tied by a large number OF men OF .
tramplike appearance. The gentleman's
wife, partly from sympathy and fear.
always gave thein some sort OF = meat.
This is only one of the mazy instances.
1t is practiced TO more or less extent
in all parts of the city, and the mayor is
OF the opinion that it is becoming ee-
rious.
He says that numerous "holdups"
have been reported to him, and that the
lives and property OF the suburban resi-
dents must be protected.
Chief Glass was asked as to his
opinion of ths situation. While he did
not desire to make statement for pub.
location, he said that more policemen
were needed. There had been CON-
plants made that 90 to chow the neces-
sity of more appointments.
Some of the counc!lmen expressed
their views of the question. As they
stand today, it is doubtful il additional
off GERS will be appointed. Some OF the
councilmen and the police commission.
ers are OF the opinion that the city can
nos afford such an expensive luxury
as one gentlemen expressed it.
