Tracing Crime By Microscope.
Modern scientific discoveries seem to
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.
This was supposed to have been done
on the way to Berlin An eminent
chemist obtained samples of all the

the barrel passed. and by means of
blowpipe and microscope found sand
of the station at which it had been
emptied and filled. and from this cir
eumstance the thief was discovered
and arrested.

his studies in the archives of the Es-

The Imperial Club.

Emperor William has never aspired
to be a mirror of fashion save in the
field of warriors dress, but uncon
sciously he is serving as a model for
the way in which the American NOUS
tache shall be trained. His imperial
majesty of Germany, by dint of perse-
verance, has induced his brown NOUS
tache to turn it's points straight up.
leaving the outline of his mouth eX-
posed. and imparting to his face a pc
culiarly severe expression. This the
graceful American now chooses to envy
and emulate, not only because he likes
the upward twist, but because it keeps
his moustache ends out of coffee cups
and champagne foam and it is alto
gether the only comfortable way to
handle it.
All moustacheS do not, however,
grow upwards unless trained from their
first appearance, and men who find
difficulty in keeping the points turned
up bring the persuasion of tiny tones
to bear on the stiff hair. These tongs
are in all respects quite like those wo-
men use on their bangs, but with han
dies that fold back and allow of their
being carried handily in a pocket. In
damp weather, when moustaches are
inclined to droop, little tweaking with
hot irons will put backbone into the
points, but none of these men who are
cultivating the Hohenzollern twist fall
into the vulgar error of trying to turn
the sharply clipped moustache ends into
curls.

How to Wear Your Hair.

No longer do the leaders of mascu-
line fashion study the possibilities of
hair varnissh and the geometric perfec-
ton of perfectly straight part to run
from brow to crown. The center part
is not attempted by those whose hair
is light and dry in quality. and whose
locks seem naturally to fall right and
left from a parting at the side. A
faultlessly sleek-headed man. if nature
has provided him with a quality of hair
both fine and lose-clinging, can very
well follow natures way, but if his hair
is inclined to wave and springs up from
the scalp, he must not attempt by water
and severe brushing to destroy its ma
tive inclination.
Just as soon as the warm weather
comes country residents will go back
to the morning and afternoon combina-
ton of last season, that is white trou-
sers, with dark coat and waistcoat.

GLASPELL.PURCHAsE CASE,
Something About the Case as
Reported in the Fargo
Forum Article.

Attorney Ellsworth was seen about
the article in the Fargo Forum Of
the 23d inst purporting to give a his.
tory OF the Glaspell- Purchase case.
He says: 81 have read the article
in the Forum referring to the suit
brought by Purchase against Judge
GlAspell. The statement is such as
an attorney might make, to get the
matter before the public before it
could be tried in court. The history
of the Everett case is we'll known to
che people OF jamestown and the tact
is that it was tried throughout by Mr..
Glaspell without any assistance from
any one. The statements made in
the Forum are wholly one sided aud
in great part erroneous. The case is
now pending in the u. S. court Of
this district and at the proper time
will be presented to the court for de
termination. The attorney referred
to as one whom it is alleged spent
the afternoon with Purchase in en-
deavoring to pursuade him to remain
out of the d;stric. until after the trial
of this case, is Purchases own at
torney, the one he had selected for
the trial of his ease, and who had
been making considerable effort to
secure his liberation"
