cations week fom people who wish TO get
employment as detectives. Most of them
come from young men without previous
experience in the business, who feel them
selves peculiarly gifted by nature to make n
livelihood by unraveling mysterious deeds
of crime.
Occasionally young women apply in the
same way. While few women are sue
ceSsful store detectives, where the work
consists more in keeping people from steal
ing than in finding stolen goods, the sex
as detectives are rather looked down upon
by the managers of the detective agencies.
Those INSCRIPTIONS persons who manage
to exist by the combination of their own
wits with other mems money have discov-
cred that the amateur hawk is an easy
victim. Advertisements appear In the daily
papers stating that the universal detective
agency wishes to obtain the services of n
bright young man in every town-''pre
vious experience not necessary"
The bright young man advertised for ex-
lists in large quantities in all sections. He
has long felt that opportunity was all that
was needed to develop, or rather to display,
his talent as a sleuth. He answers the adj
vertisement and shortly afterward receives
q letter stating that he will be enrolled as
local manager for the sum of 81 and all
business of the agency in that section will
be referred TO him. He is also requested to
get what business he can. A badge will
cost him 81 additional.
He sends his SO and receives a certificate
of enrolment and brass plate worth 10
cents. There it all ends. No business is
sent TO him, but that is because the agency
does not happen to have any business in
his section.
An incendiary fire, q mysterious murder,
a large burglary, will call forth much vol
unteer detective aid. The Burden diamond
robbery was an instance. To add to the
woes of the family who were mourning the
loss of 100000 worth of carbon came n
horde of the would be detectives cranks
of all ages sexes, nationalities, descriptions
each with a theory, or what he thought
was theory, by which the stolen goods
could be recovered and the thieves brought
to justice. Sonumerous and bothersome
did the would bes become that the Bur
dens were compelled to ask the aid of the
police to protect them from the thief track

Perhaps the greatest field i'm which the

is that of private work. Some weeks ago

The advertisement in one day brought
147 replies Among the applicants were
an cx-shcrif from the state of Washington,
n discharged sergeant of u Nova Scotia
regiment, "a former member Of the Dub

from private detectives of experience.
These gave references and asked for fur

The monasteries carefully concealed

The clergy were skilled in music,

Dunstan was quite an artist and painted
portraits which even now remind one
strangely of human beings.
Edgar Atheling, the legal successor
Of Harold, saw at a glance that William
the Conqueror had come to stay. and so
he yielded to the Norman.
William was crowned OH Christmas
day at Westminster abbey as the new
sovereign. 1t was more difficult to
change a sovereign in those days than
at present, but that is neither here nor
there.
The people were so glad over the coro-
nation that they overdid it, and their
ghoulish glee alarmed the regular Nor
man army, the impression getting out
that the Anglo-Saxons were rebellious,
when as a matter of fact they were
merely exhiIarated, having tanked too
often with che tankard.
William the Conqueror now disarmed
the city of London, and, tipping num-
Der of the 1obles, got them to wait on
him. He rewarded his Norman follow
ers, however, with the contraband es-
tates Of the conquered, and thus kept
up his conking for years after peace had
been declared.

In 1868 A. D., Edgar Atheling,
Sweyn of Denmark, Malcolm of Scot

together to drive out the Norman. Nal

said, captured so many Anglo Saxons

English Servants Learn Ugly Secrets and
Make Money Out of Them.

No man is q hero to his valet, neither
are there many ladies who are considered
in the light of a Venus as regards beauty
or of Diana as regards purity in the eyes
of their maids. This is particularly the
case in Europe among the ariStocracy,
where, owing to the immense difference
that separates the classes from the masses,
persons of blue blood are wont to look upon
their domestic servants as mere pieces of
furniture, says the New York Journal
Not that this implies unkindly treatment,
for, on the contrary. in the old world the
lot of menials is infinitely superior TO that
of their fellow servants in this country.
No servant can be long in the employ of
patron in any intimate capacity without
sooner or later discovering some of the
secrets of the latter. These secrets need
not, of course, be necessarily of Il criminal
character. Very often they are of nature
that would give rise to nothing but ridi-

ever they may happen to be, the employer

of title Lady Mercdyth treated these threats
with the utmost contempt and turned her
maid out Of doors, paying her, however,
her passage back to England. The girl no

in the great Mordaunt divorce case, in
which the Prince of Wales, Lord Cole and

In fact Sir Francis Jeune, the presiding
Judge of the British divorce court, whose
