An Explanation of How Her Tricks May
 Easily Be Duplicated.

ts
 While in Chicago saw the announce ment of an electric girl who included in her repertory a new trick. or at least one that l had not yet seen. A stick about four feet long and as thick as a broomstick " as produced, and and an- other gentleman were requested to hold it in a vertical position before us while grasping it firmly in both hands The girl, standing in front of and facing us, placed the palm of her open hand against the lower portion of the stick, resting it on the side nearest to us and farthest from herself. After rubbing her hand up and down for few moments in or der ito make better electric contact, l" as we were informed, and after enjoin- ing us to hold the stick perfectly verti- cal, we were told to press down on it as hard as we could.
 This we did until the veins seemed to stand out on our foreheads; but, ex- ert ourselves as hard as we could, we, two strong men, were unable to press down hard. enough to make the stick slip past the open palm of her hand. Had the girl grasped the stick with her l withstood my downward pressure alone. I would have borne her, stick and all, to the floor. But there she stood, with but one open hand bearing against the side of the stick, and both us could not by our united efforts force the stick past that wonderful hand. Surely there seemed something uncanny about this. But it is very simply explained.
 The whole secret consists in insisting upon the men holding the stick in a vertical position. When the girls open hand is first placed against the lower portion of the stick, she moves it two or three times up and down, pulling gradually more and more against it. As this tends to pull the stick away from the vertical, she insists that the men keep it straight. Thus cautioned, they will exert more and more effort until, when she feels that the pressure against her hand is sufficient, she instructs them to push down with. all their might. They do so and imagine that they are exerting a tremendous vertical thrust, whereas their vertical effort is actually very yslight-insufficien even to over- come the friction of the stick against her moist hand. The men are really ex- erting tremendous effort, but are de- ceived as to it's direction. With their hands tightly grasping the upper end of the stick they are really trying to force the other end of the stick against the palm of her hand. IN. W. Perry in Cassier's Magazine.

WHY WOMEN MAKE POOR DETECTIVES
A Secret Service Man Says the Opposite
 Sex Make Bad Spies.

A Secret Service Man Says the Opposite
 Sex Make Bad Spies.
 "Women are not good detectives, !" said an experienced secret service man on being asked his opinion. ''To begin with, there are many places to which a woman cannot go without exciting sus- picion, and this defeats her object at the outset, but beyond this woman is unfitted by nature for detective work.
 "In the first place, she jumps at con- clusion and acts on it in opposition to all human probabilities, possibilities and reason. As a rule, a woman does not reason. She looks on a thing as she wants it to be or thinks it ought to be, and will follow that theory. She is led by prejudices, favors or sympathies, re- gardless of facts.
 "As a detective she is sometimes a success in entrapping a man, but her work generally ends in 8 blunder which betrays her. She is persevering only when moved by passion. She does not look at case dispassionately. She at once decides that he or she is guilty or innocent and works on that theory.
 A woman enjoys the mysterious, and she is so elated at her rzitiou as clstsCt- ire that she is unable to conceal her idsntity or the secret Investigations of Q case.
 Women are even failures in running down criminals of their own sex. A woman criminal will mislead woman detective by working on her vanity, credulity or sympathy. and, worst of all, if the detective be attractive and the man criminal handsome-well, a man is better for detective work, and besides a woman will sell out case, and cheaply at that, relying upon her sex to escape punishment if detected. i" New York Herald.

TIE last days of the legislature were, like those of most recent sessions, scenes of reckless disbursement of the peoples money, in form of "gratuities" to boot blacks, reporters, barbers and all at- taches of the state house, including those who have a regular stipend that make their positions desirable. Aside from this many appropriations for various local in- stitutions, which were reported adversely upon by the committee on appropriations, were railroaded through at last. It is a source of satisfaction to know that Staf- ford's representatives, and the senator from this district, were outspoken against fragrant abuses of the state's generosity.
