Long before Z o'clock he was in a
highly respectable street, so highly re-
spectacle that few would think a thief
could live there, and yet il was The street
to which the registered letter was ad-
dressed-the street in which the pol-
isbed thief resided.
There be waited to meet the postman
on his round, before he could possibly
part with the letter, on the getting Of
which his heart was set. The moment
he appeared in sight he hailed him and
said
81 am detective, as the card show
you proves. You have n large regis
tered letter for Mrs. Blank at -, in
this street, There is reason to believe
that letter contains the proceeds of
robbery. When, therefore, you come
to -, usk that Mrs. Blank may kind
ly come herself to the door to sign for it,
and will do the rest"
The officer placed himself at the side
OF the door so rs not to been. The
postman gave his double rap and did as
he had been requested. Mrs. Blank
came to sign for the letter, and no sooner
had she done so than the detective
sprang into view. seized hcr with one
hand and the letter with the other aud
said:
you are my prisoner, and that is
my letter.
To the joy Of many the letter con-
tanned the whole of the bills.

THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE.

Into the gloom of the deep, dark night,
With painting breath and startled scream,
Swift as bed in sudden fight,
Darts this creature of steel and steam.
Awful dangers are lurking nigh,
Rocks and chasms are near the track;
But straight by the light of its great white
eye,
1t speeds through the shadows dense and
black.
Terrible thoughts and fierce desires
Trouble its mad heart many an hour,
Where burn and shoulder the hidden fires,
Coupled ever with might and power
1t hates rs the wild horse hates the rein,
The narrow track of vale and hill
And shrieks with cry of startled pain,
And longs to follow It's own wild will
oh what am but an engine shod
With muscle and flesh by the hand of God
Speeding on through the dense. dark night,
Guided alone by the souls white light.
Often and often my mad heart tires,
And hates its way with bitter hate,
And longs to follow It's own desires,
And leave the end In the hands of fate
OIL ponderous engine of steel and steam;
Oh human engine of flesh and bone;
Follow the white lights certain beam
There lies safety, and there alone
The narrow track of fearless truth,
Lit by the souls great eye of light,
o, passionate heart of restless youth
Alone will carry you through the night.

A Queer People,

Strange stories are told of the Dokos.
who live among tho moist, warm BAN
boo woods to the south of Kaffa and
Susa. in Africa.
Only four feet high, Of dark olive
color, savage and naked, they have nei-
Their houses nor temples. neither fire nor
human food. They live only on ants,
mice aud serpents, diversified by few
roots and fruits. They lot their nails
grow long, like talons. the better to dig
Tor ants and the more easily to tear ia
pieces their favorite snakes.
The Dokos used to DO invaluable as
slaves, aud they were taken in large
numbers. The slave hunters used to
hold up bright-colored clothes ~ they
came to the moist warm bamboo woods,
where these human monkeys still live,
and the poor Dokos could not resist the
attractions offered by such superior peo-
pie. They crowded around them aud
were taken in thousands. In slavery
they were docile, attached, obedient.
with few wants and excellent health.
These queer people have only one
fault--a love for ants, mice aud ser
penis. and a habit of speaking to Yer
with their heads on the ground aud their
heels in the air. Yer is their idea Of o
superior power, to whom thoy talk in
this comcal nature when they are dis
pirited or angry, or tired Of ants and
snakes, and longing for unknown food
The Dokos seem to come nearest Of
all people yet discovered to that terrible
cousin to humanity, the ape.

THE Engineering and Mining Journa
calls attention to the similarity between
tho Wilson bin and the reform proposed
by the republican party in 1882 and 1885
under President Arther's adminlstra-
tion. At that time, says the Journal,
"The republicans urged the reduction
Of the duties, then very much lower
than they are now, and the free admis-
sion Of raw material. To us the pro-
posed tariff bill seems measure
of moderate protection which will in
most cases fully protect our industries.
1t is inevitable that any change in the
tariff, whether up or down, will prove
injurious to some industries and some OF
the changes proposed in the Wilson bill
will Inconvenience and cause losses in
certain directions. In such cases the
benefits in one direction have to be
credited against the injuries caused in
another, in judging OF the net results
The Journal has no politics but speaks
purely from an industrial standpoint
when it says: "The placing on the free
list of such articles as we now produce
in such quantities as to fully supply our
own markets and also large part Of
the foreign markets, as is the case with
our copper and many other things, will
have no influence whatever Articles
like coal and iron ore cannot be much
injured by the proposed changes, for we
produce as cheaply and generally at
less cost here than in foreign countries,
and in most cases the inland freight adds
a substantial protection to our pro-
ducers. What they lose in supplying
distant points which are more accessible
to foreign producers will be abundantly
made up by the wider foreign markets
it will enable them to secure. This
country must and inevitably will become
tie workshop for large part Of the
worlds consumers, and it is high time
we appreciated this and took steps that
will enable US to profit more fully BY
our own unequaled natural resources
and the unequaled ingenuity, intelli-
gence and industry of our people. 1t is
probable that many changes will be
made in the bill as it goes through con-
gress, but the general plan Of reducing
the tariff to moderate degree and Of
admitting raw materials free will, we
believe, commend itself to our people as
a whole, without regard to party poll
tics"
