WAS AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
Addressed to the Chief of Police of


Berlin, June 30.-A wooden case weigh
ing % pounds arrived Saturday night at
the parcel Office for Oranienberger Strasse
of this city from Furstenwald. The case
was addressed to the chief executive of
the police, Col. Krausc. The sender had
given the name of Thomas. A liquid
trickling from the bottom of the case
aroused the suspicion of the officials. The
cotton was loosened. when 1t was discov-
cred that the liquid was benzine. The
police were summoned and they found that
the case contained five litres of ben2ine i'm
seven bottles joined together with lint
and connected with an alarm clock set at
1890
There was also in the case fve-cham-
bered revolver, the trigger OF which was
connected by cord with the lid OF the
case and the clock. Thus at half past ten
o'clock, or upon removing the lid there
would have been an explosion. The police
are searching for the sender of the infer
nal machine.

Detective Ability.

A some what ghastly but quite sue.
cessful bit of elucidation is credited
to NJ. Bertillon, the anthropometrist.
On his back, in bed, man was found
the other morning, shot dead through
the mouth. The revolver was still in
his hand. There were doubts. how
ever. whether it was case OF suicide,
after all. For one thing, deceased
had never been known to possess re-
volyer. OF course, he might have
bought one for the occasion. 1t was
advisable to try to ascertain this, and
it was M. Bertillon who hit upon the
way. He had the corpse taken out OF
bed, dressed it himself in deceased 8
clothes, and set it in deceased's Gus
tomary attitude in his usual chair.
The coiffure was as it used to be, and
the hue of life was brought back to
the face as nearly as stage paints could
make it. Then the revival was photo
graphed, and the photograph was sent
to every gunsmith in Paris. One OF
them recognized a person who had
bought a revolver two days before,
and this witness identified the weapon.

To Preserve the Hair.

"What'll you have on your hair,
sirP" Intercepted barber to the man
in the chair. ''Nothing at all? Not
even water? Well, do you know that
You are one man in fifty? The other
forty-nine want decoction of some
sort TO make their hair lay smoothly
and shine nicely. To tell the truth,
though" he continued, in a confden-
tial tone, sit would be great deal
better for their hair if they also per-
sisted in having their locks combed
dry. Nature has placed little oil
sac at the root of each hair, the duty
of which is to supply the hair with
natural oil, and make it smooth and
supple. The use of water, bay rum,
oil and other hair dressings takes the
place of this natural oil, and the sacs
soon witheI from disuse. And so,
unless the use of dressings is con-
tinued, the hair is liable to grow hard
and stiff. l would advise every one to
discontinue the use of all hair dress
ing, and have the hair combed dry.
About three weeks of dry brushing
will reopen the oil sacs, and there
after the natural oil will do the work
thoroughly. No, sir, 1 wouldn't ad-
wise any one to wet the hair in comb
ing it. Bad practice. Next. New

The Age of Trees.

Much speculation has been in
dulged in as to the length of time
during which trees of particular kinds
may live; but anything like an abso-
lutely accurate estimate is obviously
impossible. Approximation to exact
knowledge is all that can be obtained.
Such an approximation, however, is
interesting, and here it is. The cedar
has been known to live 1000 years,
the cypress 500, the elm 800, the ivy
335, the larch SIS, the lime 100, the
maple 516, the oak 1900, the olive
800, the orange $50, the spruce 1900,
the walnut 900 and the yew 5000. II
is not unreasonable to suppose that
some of the giants of the Yosemite
Valley are older than any CT those
given, their years being almost, if not
quite, equal to those of the period
since the food, according to common
chronology. The existing cedars of
Lebanon are supposed to be contem-
poraneous of those cut down by Solo
mon for the building of the Temple.
Doubtless there are trees to be seen
in every primeval forest as old as the
Christian era, and some, perhaps, that
antedate the Pyramids of Egypt.
While we look with undisguised awe
and wonder upon the ancient monu-
ments of civilization, we fail to real
ize that we may have almost every
day within our view, IN the shape of
an aged oak or towering pine, yet
living and vigorous witness of the
far-of morning of the world. New

UNFAITHFUL.


II man could rule his love of change would
mar
The purple dignity that wraps the hills;
Pluck out from the blue sky some perfect
star,
And set it elsewhere, as his fancy wills.
Train the gnarled apple tree more straightly
up:
Lift violet head. so long aud meekly bowed;
With some new odor nll her purple cup,
And gild the rosy fringes of a cloud.
For mark last year loved the violet best,
And tied her tender coors in my hair;
To-day wear on my inconstant breast
A crimson rose, and count her just as fair.
We are unfaithful. Only God is true
To hold secure the landmarks Of the past,
To paint year after year the harebell blue,
And in thesame sweet mold its shape to cast.
Oh, steadfast Nature let us learn of thee.
Thou canst create new flower az thy will,
And yet through all the years canst faithful
be
To the sweet pattern of daffodil.

A Widows Vow.

An English parish clerk, seeing a
woman in the churchyard with bun
die and watering can, followed her,
curious to know what her intentions
might be, and discovered that she was
Il widow of a few months standing.
Inquiring what she was going to do
with the watering pot, she informed
him that she had been obtaining some
grass seed to SOW on her husbands
grave, and had brought little water
to make it spring up quickly. The
clerk told her there was no occasion
to trouble; the grave would be green
in good time. "Ahi that may be, "
she replied, ''but my poor husband
made me take a vow not to marry
again until the grass had grown over
his grave, and, having had good Of
fer, do not wish to break my vow,
or keep as am longer than l can
help. New York Sun.

Five Acres OF wintersreen.

Wintergreen Island, situated oppo-
site Essex. Conn, was in past years
considered as profitable five-acre
tract of land as the town contained,
owing to i's producing immense guam
titles OF wintergreen. This land was
heavily covered with pine trees which
shaded the vines. The berries were
80 plentiful that many bushels were
gathered every year aud were taken
by agents, who shipped them to Bos-
ton and other cities. But their end
came when the trees we're cut down.
The harvest was from the middle OF
November until the snow covered the
ground. Birch has taken the place OF
wintergreen, and the section abounds
with birch oil distilleries. The diff
ference between birch oil AMI winter
green oil is very slight, and thousln Is
of gallons of the former are sold every
year for wintergreen extract. New

A Novel Exnerlment.

A novel experiment is being made
at Martha's Vineyard by the Massa-
chusetts Highway Commission. In
macadamizing the roads at that place
it has been found that the ballast
stone would not stay in position in
the sandy foundations, for the sand
constantly worked to the top, while
the stones were lost in the depths of
the sand. Gravel was tried for a
foundation, with fairly good success.
but it was costly and scarce. Cheap
cotton cloth was then tried with good
results, as it seems, apparently, to be
the material needed. 1t is found that
the sand does not work up through
the stone, and that much less stone Is
required. Layers of tarred paper
were tried before the cloth, but it was
found that the stone pressed through
it. A small section only of the road
has been experimental upon thus
far, but if it continues to be as sue
cessful as at present the experiment
will be carried still further. Paving

An Orchid Fad.

Joseph Chamberlain's fidelity to the
orchid has done more toward strength
ening the cult of the flower than the
action of anyone else. His attention
was first directed to the orchid in an
accidental manner about twenty years
ago, and since that time he has been
adding continually to mis- collection at
Highbury, near Birmingham, Eng
land, until at the present moment he
has between 5000 and 5000 plants of
ali kinds, which have been drawn from
all parts of the orehid-produeing
world. Altogether they fill thirteen
slass houses. Chicago Times-Herald.

Kleptomania is the polite term for
common stealing when the thief has
money or social position, remarks the
San Francisco Chronicle. The latest
instance of this vice of the period
comes from Paris. where a rich old
collector of curios looted the Louvre
and stole many valuable arc relics.
If these kleptomanics were treated
like ordinary thieves we should hear
of them less frequently. Because a
man has no Incentive to theft except
cupidity is sufficient reason why he
should be more severely punished than
one who steals from necessity.

J. Ross writes in the Engineering
and Mining Journal that since the
diamond discoveries in South Africa
the Brazilian diamond-mining indus
try has fallen SO low that the annual
output is now not over $3.50, 900, when
thirty years ago il was upward of $2,-
100000. Brazilian diamonds are so
much smaller than the African that it
does not pay TO mine them against
African competitiop.
