SOME CURIOUS FACTS
Cbe Cost Of Discovering Anerlca-
New Methods Of Tracing
Criminals.

An old Highland chief finding hi.
son. mere boy, sleeping on the battle
field with huge SNOWFALL under his
head, kicked it away, exclaiming:
what do We want wi q pillow? III
ha' nae such efeeminacy in my fam.
ily." A similar aversion to ''efeemi.
macy" marked the English naturalist
and squire, Charles WATERFOWL, who in
early life wandered through many
lands intent upon making collections OF
birds, reptiles, insects and wild beasts
The bedroom where the squire slept
and also prepared his specimens was
in the roof and open to the rafters
striped blanket and his working
clothes. The furniture was rough
coarse and scanty. A lady of ranl
upon visiting his workroom and finding
that it was his bedroom as we'll re.
marked upon the anomaly of its lack.
ing bed.
I've long learned that a bed is use.
less luxury" said the squire, drawing
from a corner an oblong block of oak
two feet long, ten inches wide. eight
inches deep, followed and polished in
the middle. Then he pulled down the
blanket, rolled it around him, and lay
down on the bare boards, resting his
head on the block. "There-that's nv
bed. It's soon made, and I'll answer
for it. none OF you sleep more soundly
than l." For 30 years the block and
blanket were the squire's bed, summer
and winter, in health and sickness.
When travelling, as he could not carry
about his timber pillow, he used the
best substitute he could devise. Once
he was guest at great house in Lon.
don, and as usual retired to rest Mt nine
o'clock. The house-maid. not suppos.
ing that he would go to bed SD early,
went into the bedroom later to take in
a can of hot water. She gave scream
and rushed out, and when asked for an
explanation said:
II went into the room, and what did
see but a long body rolled up in a
blanket on the floor and q gray head
on a portmanteau!"
Modern scientific discoveries seem tc
be of the greatest use in running down
criminals. A German diplomat was
telling me the other day Of a curious
use of the microscope for this purpose
recently made in Prussia. A barrel OF
specie sent from the frontier to Berlin
was robbed and filled with sand. Thin
was supposed to have been done en- the
way to Berlin. An eminent chemist
obtained samples of all the sand near
the stations through which the barre,
passed. and by means of blowpipe END
microscope found sand of The station
ut which it had been emptied rnG
filled, and from this circumstance the
thief was discovered and arrested.
A student of Spanish history has add.
cd an interesting chapter to the his
tory of prices by revealing from his
studies in the archives of the Escurial
what it cost to discover the new wcrld.
The stipends of the discovercrs certain.
ly amounted to very little. The pay
of an able seaman was only. it seems,
$3.50 a month. while the captain drew
only about SIG month. As for Chris.

were at the rate of $500 year.-Cleve.

which shows the total miles of track

some of the Western lines have great

Of the Banner of Freedom mighty well
and hoped it was not only bringing me
fame. but money also. The old man
said he had only few minutes to spare,
and before leaving ne wished to ask
u favor. l supposed he was about to
spring a little poem which he had dashed
off by himself, but that wasn't the case.
Uncle Bill said: MY son, I want to ask
you a special favor. My eyes are not
as strong as they were, and i would
like to have you print my copy of the
paper in a type two or three sizes
larger than you use in the regular edi-
