Profession.

Profession.
The American Hawkshaw will go
down into literature outside of the
dime novel and the detective story, Tor
he has a newspaper Of his own, says an
exchange This unique addition to the
list OF class papers is published monthly
at indianapolis by the veteran detec-
tive, Capt Webster, and 1t is devoted
to the interests of detectives and police
man.
It's news columns are given over TO
bulletin of more than $4,000 in cash
rewards, with a veritaDle rogues gal
lery of pictures and descriptions OF
crooks wanted" while the latest
swindling schemes and methods of de-
lection are fully explained for its
crime investigating readers. 1t is IN,
teresting to read that "if you want &c

do you need bracelets in your bust
ness?" queries a dealer in patent nip
pers, handouts and dark lanterns.
"Mustache, whiskers-just the thing to
change your appearance when shadow
ing" suggests another advertiser, while
skeleton keys to open 5000 desks,
drawers, trunks and padlocks, set OF
six" are offered to the profession al 81
1t is rather grewsome to learn that
"s100 spot cash buys pair of thorough
bred English bloodhounds, only 1O
months old, and already keep cold
trail better than most old dogs; best
investment a sheriff or special officer
can make" Also, for % cents you can
learn how to detect counterfeit money.
The most novel article is a brief
treatise on psychology" as applied to
crime detection. The departments OF
Police Pickings" and SecretService
Snap Shots" contain suggestive items
all the way from the fact that the city
council of Colfax, Wash, mas decided to
reduce its police force 70 one man" to
the statement that New York has
ninety-fOur policemen to the square
mile"
In an article on the future of the de-
tective service the detective writer de-
clares that "dime-novel writer's have
done amateur detectives more mischief
than anything in existence, but remem-
Der truth Is stranger than fiction
The editor estimates that the aver
age earnings Of private detectives are;
First year, $3.50; second year, $1,000
third year, $1,000" He says: IF all
the detectives and police in the United
States should lay off for a month every
citizen would have to fix up his house
like an arsenal to protect his family
and property"
Detectives are advised TO keep q
watchful eye on the stranger, whether
he is a suspicious looking character OF
not; also to study human nature We
can learn as much from the people We
meet as from the books we readr" The
faculty of remembering faces is one
that can be cultivated. In the detective
business it can be turned to account
every day"

that he passed in latitude forty-i.5r
degrees, forty-fye minutes. longitua
thirty-five degrees thirty-seven mia

and fifteen inches in diameter"
1t is possible that Capt. barley may
be versed in the drifting phenomena OF.
the deep. If he isn't, he may be please !!
to know that the shellback navigator
hereabouts, who have seen many
strange sea changes, have few thing
to say about his tree. The place h5
saw it is 500 miles northwest Of tn
Azores; and nearly midway between
Boston and Southampton. 1t is i'm
probable (the natural dogmatists would
say IMPOSSIBLE for a tree to drift away
from the Azores against a current that
in the neighborhood of the picturesque
islands, flows without change to the
southeast.
The tree was strongly under the in
fleunce of the southerly edge of tho
Gulf Stream when Capt. barley steaEe
close to it and made note ont. NatUr-

Plainly the tree could not have
drifted from the neiehborhood OF Cape

miles west of the point where Capt.
| barley saw it,. as it was not the kind
| of tree that grows In northern lati-

north, northeast, and east in the Gulf
Stream until it became disintegrated
under the battering force of the seas

Floating islands usually have 4

and light roots, mingled with marshy

After the Armada.

The defeat of the Armada inspired
England with energy and hope. Our
people became busy traders. Flemish
traders had been ruined by war, Flem-
ish refugees had fiocked into England.
and Antwerp, the great port for new
world commerce, had been sacked and
taken. English succeeded to the trade
of which the Dutch had been deprived
Beyond the ocean lay Il vast world of
wealth of which Spain, united with Por-
tugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby
excluding English commerce from the
larger half nf the planet. Systematic
viOlence-thai is, the combination of
trade with private war-was the only
mode in which this monopoly could be
attacked. Elizabeth conniyed at this
covert maritime war both before and
after the Armada and the struggles be
tween English traders and Spanish
monopoists were far too numerous and
important to admit of peace between
the two governments. 1t was this
spirit of commercial adv enture.

attempt to rescue the new world from
the inquisition and give it bach to the
free use of the human race, which was
the first step in the development of

Thibstan Women.

The women are as tall as the men,
much more fully developed, and fire.
quently quite good looking But the
iron rule of fashion forces them to
hide their rosy cheeks under Il thick
coating Of teu-ja, black, sticky paste
made of catechu. This is to preserve
their complexion from the cutting wind
SO say those who are matter fact,
but others tell 4 different tale. More
than & hundred years ago there lived
at Lh'asa great giant named Demo
Rinpoch'e, who did much to restore the
purity of monastic life, which had
greatly suffered under the licentious
rule of the sixth pOntiff of Lh'asa, is
angyang jyats'o. Canon law says that
when a monk goes abroad he must
keep his eyes fixed on the ground some
little distance ahead of him, look ing
neither to the right nor the left; but
the rosy cheeks and bright eyes of the
women caused the lamaS to forget this
law, and great disorders ensued. Demo
Rinpoch'e then commanded that no
woman should go abroad unless her
face was well besmeared with black,
and soon this became the fashion
throughout the whole country.
Time and again | tried to induce the
girls in the houses where | was stop
