ANOTHER SHERLOCK HOLMES.
How He Told Who Had Last Used

 the Telephone.
 The last man who used this phone said a New Orleans Sherlock Holmes preparing to wrestle with the instrument in an uptown public sta tion, was a short, little fellow in deuce of hurry, smoking a cigarette. He asked for the Illinois Central freight office, was told they were busy and repeated his request five times getting madder at each call. Mean while his cigarette went out, and after yainly searching for match"--
 Hold one there!" exclaimed a friend who had accompanied to the booh. What kind of fairy story are you giving me, anyhow?'
 NO fairy story at all" replied the amatenr sleuth blandly. T was mere ly stating few facts.''
 But how the dickens did you ascer- tain them?"
 Plain as A B c, my boy. To be- gin with, the adjustable mouthpiece of the instrument is pulled down as you see, to it's fullest extent, indicat- ing clearly that the last user was very much undersized. Isn't that evil dent?"
 "Ye-e-e-es, guess so; but how about the rest?'
 Well, look at that ledge and you will observe five charred spots and an equal number of small piles of tobacco ash. What do you infer? Why, ob- viously, that the gentleman was smok- ing and laid down his cigarette each time he called The piles of ash are still undisturbed. showing they were l recently deposited and they are small proving plainly that the intervale of | calling were brief. My logical conclu. sion was that the phone he wanted | happened to be busy, and I looked in. stinctively for D memorandum of its 1 number, which most men make under such circumstances. I found it, as l anticipated, on top of the box, scrawled | in pencil, and recognized the number of the freight office. Such memoranda i are almost always rubbed out by the | sleeve of the next customers, and a: i this one Is still fresh and bright, it i: 1 fair to presume it was made by the 1 last man in the booth-otherwise the i short chap with the cigarette.

Mme Loyson, wife of Father Hya- cinthe, is said to have organized kind of .'I.adies' alliance,' for the purpose of Introducing a code of higher mor als and greater purity of life among the women in the harems of Algeria" The "alliance" is of a somewhat un- usual kind. A number of the members reside in Paris and have to hold them selves in readiness to start for Algeria the moment they are called on. Their travelling expenses are paid-by whom is not stated. Mime. Loyson has recently engaged an English governess in Paris to go to Algiers for the purpose of edu- eating the son of the bey. She is in- formed that she must not wear stays" must discourage smoking, have a Thigh standard of morals" and must improve her music and drawing and other accomplishments. In a country where native divorce costs sS, and new wife from s1O upward, the ali auce'' has an extensive field for its en- ergy. Mime. Loyson, it may be added, is ap American.

A Florida inventor has designed a steamboat to run on the ice in winter, runners being mounted on the under side at the proper depth to bring the ends of the paddle blades to the level of the ice, each blade being tipped with a steel point, which sticks into the ice and propels the boat. Such steamer would be very useful in Florida waters.

A, B, c, D and E each have $1 and no more, and consequently they cannot pay their debt. They put their money all together. A takes the s5, goes to B, pays his debt and gets his receipt. B does the same to c, to D, D to F and E to F. A. B, c, D and F are out of debt, and F has his money. Who, if any one, is the loser?

Parnell had some pet superstitions, according to his biographer Barry O'Brien. He would not pass another person on the stairs. He was horror stricken to find himself sitting with three lighted candles; the fall of a picture in the room made him dejected for the entire afternoon, and he would have nothing to do with an important bill drawn up by colleague because it happened to contain thirteen clauses. He also thought green a most unlucky cobra strange and inconvenient feel ing for a nationalist leader--and the sight of green banners at the political meetings he addressed after unnerved him.

The Commissioner of Navigation shows that our new possessions require shipping communication, and that our interest in Asiatic trade generally is such as to warrant getting the needed steamships anywhere we can, just as soon as possible. Only ten sea-going craft of 40oO tons displacement or over are now registered on the American list. The commerce which is about to assume new proportions on the Pacific and on the Atlantic cannot be accom- modated by these vessels, and if they alone are used the tonnage in demand must be that sailed under foreign flags r-unless foreign-built ships are intro duced into our registry at once.
