able to observe the Manhattan Chem
zeal company's offices from the rear
and if possible to ascertain how Chat
ham had managed TO give the detec.
tiyes the slip the first time he up

Now tnat he was in the house the
/ reporter was confronted with the he.
cessity of explaining his presence
| there without betrayng his true pu"-
! pose. This would not have been n
! difficult matter had the inmates II
! the house been total strangers: but
! he felt that it would be by no means
so easy 10 offer an explanation which

Murdocls's keen perception. And MUIR
dock was the last person to whom he
would have confided the true reason
of his visit; not only because. the
chemist, as his opponent in the wager
concerning the knickerbocker bank
mystery, was interested in thwarting
rather than in aiding his investiga-
ton. but chiefly because he felt a
strong instructive distrust of the man.
As these thoughts were passing
through the reporters mind. 'hc slow

forth, with his hands behind his back
In so doing, he passed door which
was slightly ajar and caught
glimpse Of long rows of bookshclves
loaded with beautifully bound edi-
tons. The place was evidently the
library IT occurred to him that
library is a public room and that he
would be more comfortable in there
than in the hall
lie pushed open the door and looked
in. The room was empty. He en-
tered.
The library occupied a space be-
'wcen the parlor and the rear room
INTO which Murdoch had entered, and
I was separated from each Of these
rooms by folding-doors over which
hung heavy portiercs.
Sturgis was a lover Of books; his
interest was at once aroused in the
collection before him. II was ad
mirably selected from the standpoint
Of philosopher and man of sci
cncc. Every department Of history,
Of philosophy and Of science had its
section in which the volumes were
classified and arranged with intelli-
gent care, But curiously enough, po-
etrv and art were but mcagcrly rep
resented.
One section specially attracted
Sturgis' attention. II was devoted en-
tircly to the history of crime in all
it's phases and in all ages Criminal
statistics. criminal Jurisprudence and
the psychology of crime, as well as
the biographies of all the noted Grim
mails Of ancient and modern times,
were completely represented. Almost
the only works of fiction in thC col
lection were in this section, and in
cludcd every book imaginable CON
corning criminals and their deeds.
Many rare and curious volumes were
there some Of them so rare that they
could hc found in only a few Of the
great libraries OF the world.
Here Sturgis was in his element.
he had himself collected valuable
library on the subjects kindred TO his
professions; but here were books many

From Public opinion.
The Opinion office was favored
ON last Tuesday with very
agreeable visit from j. w. Crea-
mer, one Of the leading farmers
residing near Pleasant Hall He
gave us an interesting descrip-
ton Of large silo which he has
recently erected in his barn.
A silo is a pit or vat for pack
ing away green fodder for
winter use so as to exclude air
and outside moisture. MIR. Crea-
mer had given considerable study
to silo and even corresponded
with people who had been using
them before he constructed what
may prove to be the first silo
erected in Franklin county The
green fodder is cut up into pieces
about one-half inch long and it is
then solidly packed into the vat
or silo. The entire strength of
the fodder is preserved by this
process. Mr. Creamer's vat or
silo win hold about fifty tons
1t would be well for other farm
ers to follow Mr. Creamer in this
progressive movement 1t costs
to build the silo but is saves food
and cows fed on it will give sweet
err and more milk More than
half Of the cornstalk is wasted
if the fodder is fed to stock in
the ordinary way Tryitfarmers.

Costs OF the Government.

Az tho end Of cvcry ses-
sion o. congress, the supporters
and opponents of the party in
power at the time sum up, from
then own respective points Of
view, the results of the session
The most familiar basis or com.
parison Of one party, or one ses-
sion, with another is that of the
appropriations How much is it
costing to run the govcrnment?"
If there has been Il considerable
increase Of appropriations was it
iustiiiable, or was it extrava-
gance; These are questions to
which contradictory answers are
often given, supported, in each
case, by statistical tables which
are calculated to pcrpleX those
who retain faith in the absolute
veracity of figures, says Youths
Companion.
The appropriations at the re
cent session Of congress amount
ted, in round numbers, to 709,-
goo, 900 To arrive at the true cost
of the government for the year
provided for, allowance must be
made for the postal revenues,
which would reduce the total
just given by about 100000, 600
Then before "a just comparison
can be made, the items of eXpen-
diture growing out of the war
with Spain must be deducted.
After this is done the ordinary
appropriations are still about
$50, 900 more than those for
the year just preceding the war.
The largest item of increase is
for post Office expense; and com
pensation for this will be found,
partly in improved facilities and
the extension of free rural deliv-
cry, and partly in the increased
revenues which usually follow an
improved service. Another large
item is for the taking Of the cen
sus, an expenditure which will
not recur again in ten years. The
increase of the navy accounts for
a third item, and an increase in
pensions for a fourth, while a
fifth is merely a matter of book
keeping connected with the re-
demrtion of national bank notes.
Altogether, these five items com
prise about fOur-fifths of the total
increase. What the items sug-
gest Of economy or extravaganza
must be left to the ingenuity Of
the campaign orators.

Whom you come in out of the
rain don't plump your nice silk
umbrella ferrule down into the
umbrella stand, unless you want
to ruin it. That lets the water
and tiny specks of "grit run
down into the lining under the
iron ring that secures the ribs,
and it stays there, making the
silk tender and rotting it. Meth
err should you leave the umbrella
open to dry, as that stretches the
silk and makes it stiff, and it will
soon split Shake it well, then

down, where the water will run
