Get Pointers In Their Business by Watch
Ing the Newspapers.
There Is one official at Scotland Yard
who is but little known to the public,
hut who all the same works very hard
and successfully for the public good
by closely scanning, day in and day
cut, the advertisements appearing in
every London newspaper.
This officials primary duty is TO keep
bright lookout for the very numerous
swindling class which advertises for
managers and so on prepared TO invest
money; but, quite beyond this, he, in
the most careful manner, notes all adj
yertisements that strike him as being
in any way suspicious, handing them
over to the heads of different depart
ments. He is himself an expert in all
matters that deal with cipher writing,
and part of his duty is to translate every
cipher that may appear, handing over q
copy of his translation to active mem
bers of the staff when anything is re
vealed that justifies such a course.
The writer had the privilege the other
day of n short chat with this official
a bright young fellow, speaking several
languages, who said:
81 am afraid that / am not allowed to
tell you much, but / may say that no
day ever passes without my handing
ever some advertisement for inquiry.
Our scrutiny in this way has become
very keen recently, for it is an open Sc
cret that certain foreign catch adver-
tisement swindlers are expected here
again ere long.
Besides, there have been exposed in
court many cases of swindling recent
ly which have depended solely on allur-
ing advertisements. In two of them 1
gave warning long ago, but no prose
cutor would come forward. Were i al
lowed TO do so, could show you hun
dreds of most mysterious cipher adver-
tlsements in the book over there, the
bulk of these, OF course, being between
lovers, but many of them containing
warnings from one educated swindler
to another.
''Of course, you know that thieves
even are all specialists nowadays, and
IL is surprising how soon bogus adj
vertisement swindler gets TO work
again in the same direction when he Is
released from Jail. am advised of the
release of these men, and the character
istics of their style are soon observable
again In the advertisement columns.
"We, as a rule, warn them at once that
we recognize the new plant, and in this
way hundreds of warnings are sent out
yearly, and do an amount of good that
the public knows nothing of. My duty
is very monotonous, and dare not get
even a single edition behindhand."-

Which Must Not BE Made of the Dried
Nuts.
The fresh cocoanut was once looked
forward TO in the spring by housekeep-
ers as a choice dainty, but since the gem
eral introduction of dried cocoanut
there has been little demand for the
fresh nuts of the palm. Though no pre-
pared cocoanut is equal to the moist,
rich meat of a freshly-grated nut, it is
a saving of time and veXation to use it.
No one who has seen the cocoanut
eaten the nut in its soft, immature state
as well as when it is ripe, feels much
attracted to the various dried prepare
tions. South Americans look upon the
cocoanut palm with peculiar reverence.
1t is never found far from the habita-
tons of men. An Indian proverb says
it refuses to grow beyond the sound Of
the human voice. It's branches and
creamy white flowers are much used in
decorating South American markets.
Boughs of cocoanut with long bios
SONS floating on the wind are borne
before the strange medieval procession
of cowled and rope-girdled pcnitents.
The immature cocoanut is seldom IN
a fit state for eating, as the nut spoils
in this condition soon after it is picked.
In South America the green or soft CO.
coanut, before the milk has separated
from the nut, is scooped out after split
ting off the husk and cutting through
the shell of the nut, and is served in
glasses, to be eaten with a spoon, al.
ways accompanied by dish of delicate
"dulce," or sweetmeats, in the prepare
ton of which the South American
housekeepers always excel. A little
white cocoanut pudding is most deli
cious tropical dessert, which is served
with a delightful South American
''dulce" made from fragrant guavas.
The whites of four eggs are beaten into
Equarter of a pound of powdered sugar,
then the grated meat of one cocoanut
is added, reserving about half cupful
to scatter in the cups. Butter the cups
inside, sprinkle with sugar, then with
grated cocoanut, six cups holding each
q gill and a half. Add gradually three
cupfuls of rich milk or cream to the
whites of eggs, sugar and cocoanut and
beat the mixture thoroughly with a
French egg whip. Fill the cups and set
them in a pan of warm water and let
the buildings bake for one hour. When
done, turn them out on a low dessert
platter and serve them with this sauce.
Beat two yolks of eggs in bowl with
an ounce and half of flour and three
rounded spoonfuls of sugar. Add a
pint of milk gradually TO the prepare
ton and return the whole to the fire;
beat two minutes, and the moment it
boils add wine glass of brandy, or
serve the buildings simply with sweet
orange or guava sweetmeat.--N. Y. Trib-

A Chicago Girl Undone By the Ornitho-
logical Efforts of Church singer.
The other evening, at one of the
large Presbyterian churches on the
south side, specially attractive service
was held. 1t had been widely adver-
tised, and every seat was filed. In one
of the forward pews sat young person
who eagerly waited for the proceedings
to commence.
The opening number on the pro-
gramme was a voluntary beginning:
"a day In Thy courts is better than a
thousand. had rather be doorkeep-
er in the house of my God than TO dwell
in the tents of wickedness." But the
young person hadn't a programme and
she didn't know.
A woman's beautiful voice rang out
clear and strong, and the young person
taxed her ears to catch the words. At
first they eluded her exasperatingly,
but by patience and close attention she
finally grasped the situation. The sing
err considered day in the courts of the
Lord to a thousand spent elsewhere.
So far so good. But the next sentence
staggered the young person. The singer
trilled forth that she had rather be a
''dorkie bird" in the house of her God
than to occupy an elevated position in
less righteous place.
The young person pondered. Since
her early infancy she had been fed on
verses and chapters from the Bible, but
somehow she couldn't seem to remem
Der any reference to "dorkie bird"
She must be mistaken in the word, she
thought, and settled herself to listen
to the tenor, who was now warbling the
sweet melody. Surely he would sing
the words plainly. But no, the rendi-
ton was as before-"dork1e bird" The
contralto and bass made no change in
the version, but sang it as the soprano
and tenor had done.
The young persons mind was per
turbed. She could not fix her thoughts
on the prayer which followed, but
bowed her head and meditated on the
various Biblical combinations. No, she
could not recall the least reference to
"dorkie bird" but if the choir sang
about it surely there must be such

To the exclusion of all else that idea
of the unusual bird occupied her atten-
ton during the remainder of the serv-
ice. When she reached home she rushed
to her room and seized her Bible. After
an arduous search she found the place
and read: "a day in Thy courts is bet

BUGS TELL The TIME.
Missouri Jeweler Who Has Designed
Novel TImepiece.


Novel TImepiece.
a jeweler near the junction has a
novel clock in his show window. 1t
puzzles and amuses crowds every day.
There is simply dial ~ feet square,
apparently lying on box an inch in
depth. There are no hands and no
holes in the dial. In spite of this the
clock tells time perfectly. There are
two little Mexican beetles of the green
bronze variety that have been more or
less popular as scarfpins, ETC., and they
crawl about and mark the minutes and
hours accurately. One of them rests
on the outer circle of the dial and moves
from one figure to another each hour.
The other bug marches on the diars
inner circle and moves one-ffth of the
space between the figures every min
ute. What tells the bugs when and
how far to move is a mystery that 80
out of every 100 hundred who look at
them give up in despair.
The bugs are plainly enough alive,
else how could they walk? And there
are no strings to them, so why do they
not walk off about their own affairs,
as any ordinary bug would do in no
time?
THE things simple enough" said the
man who knows it all, after glancing AZ
the clock the other day. THE bugs are
dead as Julius Caesar. Each of them
is merely shell and has bit Of steel
set into it's base. The clock has hands.
only they are underneath instead Of
above the dial, and they are magnetized.
Every time the hand forges ahead its
attraction carries the steel and the lit
tie green bug shell along. Put couple
of steel pins on a sheet OF paper and
move a magnet around underneath and
you'll see just how il works. It's too
easy"
The man who knew went on to say
that the jeweler was n shrewd fellow.
"See," he said, ''he thought he'd head
of all suspicion OF magnets by setting
those four fine watches ON the four cor
ners of his mystery. just note, please,
they are non-magnetic." will your Oh,
