Famous Detectives.

England has produced many famous de-
tectives, but Notwithstanding the skill Of
the present Scotland Yard officials and
their immediate predecessors they do not
seem to hold anything like the record that
American and French officials can produce.
Even America would seem to rank second
to France, where the system of espionage
is Of long standing The intrigues of court,
and notably of the French court in the
middle ages, seem to have bred the detect
i've spirit among Erenchmen, and today,
as Of old, it Is a notorious fact that secret
service Is IN vogue to immense Dimensions
Men are followed everywhere and their
movements watched One does not know
who may be a spy, and even in private cir
cles a so called friend may be the agent of
the government. This sort of thing consti-
tutes tho Frenchman as natural detective,
with the consequence that large numbers
Of them possess n remarkable facility for
ferreting out criminals and political Of
tenders This also accounts for the ac-
knowledged fact that crimes are moro
surely traced back to offenders there than
they are here and elsewhere. The number
of undiscovered crimes in England vastly
exceeds that of France, notwithstanding
the much larger population. Brooklyn

From the New York Tribune.
New York and Brooklyn, not to mem
tlou other cities, have some things TO
learn from Philadelphia, albeit the
Quaker City has the reputation of being
d slow going town and not quite up to
date. IL Is evident from some remarks
printed In the Tribune lsat Sunday. how
ever, that IN respect Of asphalt and brick
pavsments Philadelphia is able TO sive

Ia the last two yesrr, and through

phls is nov thoroughly we'll paved.
This result has been gained largely
through the condition Imposed on tbs
surface railroad companies when they
sought the privilege Of adopting electri
city as a motive power In the place OF
horses Through somebody's foresight
and sound judgment the companies we're
required to reDave ell the streets used
By them in suoh manner as ths proper

Directions For Preparing a Dish Which Is
Often Spoiled In the Cooking.
A fish is more often ruined in baking
than in almost any other way, yet if a
blueflsh is properly baked it is a most de-
licious dish
Thoroughly clean and wash a fish weigh
ing not less than 2lS pounds for baking.
Make a stufilng by putting large spoon
full of butter into a saucepan, and when it
IS melted add ono cupful of bread crumbs
which havo been soaking i'm scant half
cup of milk or water, quarter of a tea
spoonful of salt and the same quantity of
pepper, one teaspoonful each Of chopped
eapcrs and parsley, and onion juice or not
as preferred. Put the stufliag into the fish
and close the opening with small wooden
skewers. Cut three gashcs in each side Of
the fish about half an inch deep and two
inches long and lay a strip OF larding pork
in each cut.
Now draw the fish into the form of
letter 5 by putting a long needle, holding
strong white thread, first through the
head, then through tho middle OF the body
and the tail and fastening with knot
that can be easily taken out when the fish
is baked. Put tin sheet, on which have
been laid some slices of fat salt pork, in
the bottom of baking pan and place the
fish on it back upward. Rub the fish with
salt and pepper and dredge with flour.
Pour over it half cup of wine. Put 1t
into "a moderately hot oven and bake, al
lowing 10 minutes to each pound. Con-
stant basting is necessary for the success
Of the dish When the fish is cooked, lift
the tin sheet from tho pan and slide the
fish carefully into the center of heated
platter, remove the thread and garnish the
fish with sliced lemon and parsley. Serve
with either of the following sauces;
Put one tablespoonful of butter and one
of flour in a saucepan over the fire, stir
together and add a cupful of stock two
tablespoonfuls of stewed tomatoes bay
leaf, half n dozen peppercorns and tea
spoonful of sugar. Bring TO tho boiling
point, add a little sherry and more season
ing If necessary and strain.
For sauce hOllandaise, rub half cup Of
butter to a cream. Add the yolks of three
eggs, stirring in one at time. Add the
juice from half a lemon, one-fourth of a
teaspoonful of salt and a dash of cayenne
pepper. Place tho bowl containing the
mixture in pan of boiling water. Add
one cup Of hot water to the sauce, beating
all tho time, and stir constantly until the
mixture becomes like a soft custard Do
not let Il boil, but remove from the fire
and continue to stir a few moments before
pouring 1t around the flsh.-New York

Tho Bullet Trick.

The probability was 80 to that he
would bo shot, yet an Indian juggler took
that ono chance rather than acknowledge
his inability to catch the bullet DR..
Hoffman, tho government ethnOlogist at
Washington, tells the story:
The bravest act have ever known was
performed by an Indian juggler. A favor
ito trick of his was one that has often been
performed by white maglcians.
1t consisted IN permitting himself to be
shot at the hoous pocus being an arrange
ment by which the bullet fell out of the
barrel into a cavity in the stock before the
weapon was discharged. Meanwhile the
man had another bullet concealed in his
mouth, which at the instant Of firing he
pushed outward with his tongue, so as to
make it appear that he caught the projec-
tile between his teeth.
Now, It happened chat this man had q
xival, who was engaged in the conjuring
business in a ncighboring village. On an
occasion when the trick was TO be perform
ed, the juggler having announced as usual
that he was ready TO be shot at by any one
present, the rival stepped forward and said
that he would do the shooting, but he de-
manded permission to use his own gun.
Naturally the juggler objected but his
protest was overruled. 1t was decided that
the rival magician might use his own
weapon. This meant almost sure death to
the performer. Yet he did not blench To
refuse the test would have been permanent
disgrace
There was 1 chance out of 100 perhaps
that the marksman might miss. He de
cided TO take that chance and so permitted
the volunteer executioner TO take deliberate
aim and fire at him from distance Of hall
dozen PAGES An instant later he fell
dead; the bullet had passed through his
brain. Companion.

them fast after hauling down the flag If
this is done in dry weather and it comes
on wet, the shrinking Of the halyards
thus drawn taut to start with may be
