GET THEIR TIPS FROM CROOKS
Bank officials rake Means to Protect

Bank officials rake Means to Protect
 Their Treasure from Thieves.
 It is said by a police official at city hall headquarters that some of the city banks, whose hoard of surplus cash has been increasing largely of late, have been experimenting with an ex- pedient long in use by the Bank ot England officials of paying known crooks for information of any contem~ plated raid upon their vaults. The Bank of England's first experiment of this kind dates from 1850, when the directors of the bank listened to startling proposition made by ditch digger" The laborer told the directors that he had discovered a new and un- suspected method of getting into the cellar vaults, where the gold and sil- yer bars were kept, and that he would sell his secret to them for money. The directors hesitated, believing that they had taken every precaution against loss from the vaults in putting up heavy masonry, with plenty of iron bars, and by manning the building with armed watchmen. But finally they granted the man, who seemed to talk fairly, a chance to try his plan, and night was named for the undertaking. At the appointed time committee Of the directors descended to the cellar and heard a peculiar scratching sound under their feet. Two hours later the floor opened and the ditch digger bobbed up sereneiy, like the evil spir- Its in the spectacular drama. All around them lay bars of precious metal, totaling in value e3000,0 900. The man explained satisfactorily how 1t was done and as a reward the direc- tors assured him an income from life on an investment of $10,000. The crook was content and it is believed he remained honest ever afterward But other eraeksmen were tempted by his luck to try the same game and the directors were inundated with sugges- tions and tips on new methods of bur- glary and how to prevent them Among other things, they paid $20,000 for a process, invented by young chemist, for copying the ink, paper, water marks and designs of the bank notes so perfectly as to defy detection. The directors found they could use his sys- tem more satisfactorily and more pro1tably than their own in the pro- duction of their currency. Despite the fact that these expenditures have run up into big figures in the fast half century the directors of today say that all the money was we'll invested.

There was not one subscriber in the borough of Hunting don, and only two or three from the county. About twenty or thirty small sums had been received in England and America, and, as the local committee had done all It could, it was now time. after four months, to close the matter. He suggested that the best thing would be to return the money to the subscrib- CTS, and this course was decided upon

Ages rf Birds.

It Is only possible at present to col, leet data from the duration of lives of birds in captivity; evidence otherwise must be unreliable, and it is purely 8 matter of theory as to whether the natural possible life Is greater than that under the unnatural conditionG of captivity. There are records of a nightingale having lived twenty-five years, thrush seventeen, a blackbird that was still alive at twenty and a half, goldfnch twenty three, and skylarks of twenty-four and twenty. Ravens, owls and cockatoos are popu- iarly supposed to live to a very great age, and the following records appear to be authentic: Raven, fifty; gray parrot, fifty and forty; blue macaw, sigty-four; eagle owls. ffty-three, and one still alive at siXty-eight.

AT THE PARIS MoRGUE.
subjtcting Criminals to Terrible
 Ordeal.


 A law that has recently come into operation gises prisoners tue right Of communicating with counsel within twenty-four hours after their arrest, says Paris correspondent of the Lon don Standard. One of the immediate consequences of this measure may be to put stop to those "confrontations' at the morgue, which are so dramatic feature of French criminal proceed are. With view to bringing a mur- derer to confess, he is taken to the morgue, and there brought face to face with the body of his victim. Every artifice is used to make the confronta- ton as impressive as possible, as it is hoped that the terrible sight he is com. pelled to gaze on will so trouble the murderer that he will lose command over himself and make a clean breast of his crime in his agitation. When he enters the room he can see nothing, IS the stone bench on which the body Is exposed is concealed by a curtain. The examining magistrate presses him with questions, and then, at what he considers the opportune moment, gives the signal for the curtain to be pulled back. I he murderers who have stood this ordeal without finching have been comparatively few. The majority of them exhibit the utmost terror, and smplore to be taken out of sight of the corpse. There is chair in the room where the confrontations take place, in which the majority of the most DO. torfous murderers of the last thirty years have been seated. Their names are inscribed on it's back, one of them being Troppman, who, just before the Franco German war, butehered an en- tire family. French criminal counsel have found that these confrontations almost always result in the confusion of their clients. have looked into the matter, and belieFe they have discov- cred that the examining magistrate has NO legal right to subject a prisoner to this ordeal. For the future they are going to advise their clients to refuse to allow themselves to be taken to the morgue. and it seems that it is a moot point whether the authorities will be able to convey them thither by force.

To Be Prepared

For war is the surest way for this ma
tion to maintain peace This is the
opinion of the wisest statesmen. 1t is
equally true that to be prepared for
spring is the best way t. avoid the
peculiar dangers of the season. This
is a lesson multitudes are learning,
and at this time, when the blood is
sure to be loaded with impurities and
to be weak and sluggish, the millions
begin to take Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which purifies, enriches and vitalizes
the blood, expels all disease germs,
creates good appetite, gives strength
and energy and puts the whole system
in a healthy condition, preventing
pneumonia, fevers, and other danger
ous diseases which are liable to attack
a weakened system.

Ords and Ends.

Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
end.
Everything has beginning and an
end, except hoopsnake and a pretzel.
Odd folks, most of u.s.
In the first place we say "Odds and
Ends" when speaking of a scrappile
like this.
Ords and Ends is correct, and is the
origin of odds and ends. See supple
ment to Worcester's Unabridged Die
tionary
Ord means a point, beginning.
Then there is Lurid.
Nearly every writer or speaker uses
the word Lurid to describe something
intensely red and glowing. He will
say the lurid sunset; the lurid flames
lit up the surrounding scene.
Now Lurid means the exact opposite.
1t means something colorless, wan,
without any red in it whatever. 1t
means murky, lifeess without radi-
ance.
Then the Lords Prayer. One would
suppose that this short, beautiful and
simple petition would be correctly
rendered. Yet it is very often rendered
forgive US our trespasses." The
Scriptures give no authority for the
word "trespasses" in this prayer.
When we put our matches into a
box, we invariably put the heads up.
Thus We get the evil effluvia of the
matches upon our fingers. Just as
well turn them the other way.
When we put a lead pencil in our
pockets we put the point up, every
time. This causes the lead to wear
against our coats, spelling the gar
ment, II it is light-colored. The lead is
twice as apt to be broken off this way.
The pencil goes into the pocket twice
as easily point down; but we never
put it that way.
We laugh at a flock of sheep for
jumping over fence because their
leader did.
Yet when we contemplated the absurd
tiles of which the human race is guilty,
we are ashamed to look a sheep i'm the
face. Exchange.
