BLOW TO THE DIME NOVEL.
No Detective of the secret-service Bu.
 reau Disguises Himself.

No Cetectife or the Secret-Service Bu,
 reau Disguises Himself.
 No such things as disguises are used by men of the secret-service bu- reau, said Chief Wilkie of that or ganization to a Washington Star man. The boy who reads the 10-cent lit. erature describing the many lightning changes and disguises made by alleged sleuths of the government and other services imagines these stories to be true, and the impressions he receives remain with him for long time. As matter of fact, no detective is known, and l do not know of such a thing as disguise for secret -serv- Ice case ever worked by an operator of the bureau in which false faces or ether articles of this kind have ever been used. do not know of a reput- abe detective in any city or state who uses disguises. They are not effective, and the best-informed men in the run hing down of criminals believe that they do harm and quickly expose the man Who is attempting to operate a ease. The men of the secret-seryfee of the government frequently clothe themselves to suit the vicinity and the people among whom they are at work. For instance, if man is at work in an agricultural vicinity and among people who would suspect the attire Of well-dressed person, he does not wear the best clothes or linen which has been finished by a Chinaman or a steam laundry. His attire is in keep ing with his situation and cireum- stances. He may let his beard grow long and become careless in keeping his clothes dusted If he is at work in city among Italians, for instance, he depofts himself in such way as to keep from advertising himself as a detective of the government. If he did not he would be unable to acquire in formation from the class of people who were perpetrating the violations Of the laws of the United States. Everything depends on the necessities of the case, but under no circumstances would we permit an operator of the bureau to bother with such cheap articles as Wigs, false faces. mustaches and the like.

WOMEN PIANO TUNERS :
New Field of Labor Which Does Nes
 Require Much Exertion

New Field of Labor Which Does Not
 Require Much Exertion.
 I have been pondering the problem of feminine money-mak1ng oecupa- tions, and among the unexplored fields I believe piano tuning to be Just the thing for musical women, for It IS generally conceded that woman ear is finer than mans, although one musician of my acquaintance taxes ex- ceptfon to the statement. However l say to him that fewer women than men sing eff the key and play out oi tune Piano tuning is not hard work that is. it does not require any amount of physical exArtion. It does require correct ear, Q knowledge of music and 8 degree of skill which can be acquired from a teacher in the tuning line like any other trade. There are many houses where a feminine tuner would be hreferred to man, and not the leax3Steason why the compensation to both Sexes should not be equal. It IS one of the few fields where the com petition is even. It disturbs me grea y to note the difference in salaries pa1o to men and women who do the same work. Often the woman has family dependent upon her, and while the man has nobody In the world on whom to spend his money, yet her sex, not her ability, debars her from earning as much money as the man whose desk adjoins hers. I am rather lukeWarm on the subject of woman's rights be- cause I believe that in the main our sex has a great many privileges, more than is good for us sometimes. There are few things in which l could wish an improvement, and the salary ques- tion is one of them. A faithful, indus trious woman who looks out for her emplos 4srs interest ought to receive the consideration generally extended to a male employe with those same ex= ce1lent qualities, and I will fight for reform in that direction with the full strength of nay voice and the entire force of my pen. That reform would help us more than the ballot-box priv glege ten times over-Kansas City Journal.

They Talk by whistline.

Gomera, one of the Canary islands, is small island containing about 12,000 inhabitants. It is exceedingly rugged in formation, and the deep gorges and ravines which separate it's mountain ranges are unbridged, and, therefore, it may be necessary to travel several miles in order to reach point only a few hundred yards distant. There fore, to obviate the necessity of doing this, the inhabitants have developed 8 whistling language, by means of which tive men standing on opposite sides of the gorge can convey their meaning to each other. The teeth and fingers are ssed as we'll as the lips. Communica- tiens are made by notes in the whistle corresponding to syllables. The whis- tie, of course, carries much farther and is much mere distinct, than artic" ulate speech could possibly be undet the circumstances Stories.

FIRST RAILROAD IN CHINA.
Went Around the Towns Instead of
 Through Them.


 Mir. Wu, the present Chinese minis ter at Washington, has many amusing stories to tell Of the first railroad ever built in the celestial Kingdom, which was constructed under his supervision in the province Of Tong Ghong, where Ii hung Chang reigned as yieoroy, says the Saturday Evening Pose. Curi- ously enough, this road was built with out the consent of the emperor, with out his knowledge even, the pr jeeters realizing that they must educate their ccuntrymen, from the highest to the lowest, by an object lesson. The road once in operation, they argued, the people, understanding it was wonder ful servant of commerce, and not a great devil; that it carried freight bet ter and quicker than the oldfashionee way. and would bind the uttermost parts of their kingdom together, would no longer oppose it. It's establishment. however was missionary work of a different character, even to so saga cious diplomat as Mir. Wu, and, though he succeeded in overcoming the prejudice to certain extent, he failed utterly to gain consent that the road should run through the towns and villages that marked it's route. No, no,' said the leading men of those places; build your read if you must, but keep it away from us-the farther the better Well, well" said Wu, have it as you will. We will run our road at a distance from your limits, but you will regret it for all time; and when you realize what serious harm you have done to your own 1n- terests don't come and insist upon our moving the road nearer your borders 7" The railroad was hardly in operation before the men who had opposed it be- sought him to change it's route that it might come by their towns and cities; but the management was obdurate, and Tong Chung received a most whole some lesson.

 Perchanee during some summers stroll your steps may lead you by sparkling, woodland brook. Here pause moment, and placing your face close to the surface of dark and quiet pool, look closely at the bot tom. Among the sand and pebbles you will see a number Of small bundles of sticks and little cylinders of tiny stones, moving about as though en- dowed with life. If you take them out, however, they are apparently dead and entirely devoid of motive power. But break them open, and you WI find each one to be a little tube lined wik4 soft and shining silk and containing whitish caterpillar-like larva. This, then, is the solution of the puzzle-when the grub wishes to move about, he projects the forward part of his body from the tube and crawls around, dragging his house behind him. But the moment he is disturbed or frightened, he draws back into his safe retreat, wherein he . AShieAiho AlOQCA do lOn6 do QduSSE threatens. You will find the little tubes of various kinds, shapes and sizes. Some are cylindrical, made of sticks placed lengthwise, while others are like log houses of straw, the pieces 5 being fastened crosswise. These min iature log cabins are often decorated with tiny snail-shell faster.ed to the walls, and moreover, the shells are not #always empty. Quite often you may #fnd living snails securely attached, kand thus compelled to move about at Athe will of their landlord Other tubes #are built entirely of bits of moss and N Nleayes. The commonest forms are @fhose composed of little pebbles or grains of sand. These are usually very #regular and smooth cylinders, in which the grains are all of nearly equal size, Mbut among sdhem you may frequently |sfind some ith several larger stones fastened to either side in very curi- ous manner By far the prettfest Nhouses of all are shaped like little spiral shells and are composed entirely of almost microscopical stones.- < Popular Science.
