The Murderer and Captain evrne,

McGloin was young ruffian who
had murdered saloon keeper at q
midnight rid on his place. he
was the fellow who the night before
he WIS hanged invited the chief Of
detectives to "come over to the
wake. They'll have devil of q
time" For six months Byrnes had
tried everything to bring the crime
home to him, but in vain. At last
he sent out and had McGloin and
his two spals" arrested, but so that
none of them knew of the plight of
the others. McGloin was taken to
Mulberry street, and orders were
given to bring the others in at
certain hour fifteen or twenty min
utes apart.
Byrnes put McGloin at the win
dow in his Office while he questioned
him. Nothing could be got out Of
him. AS he sat there door was
banged below. Looking out, he saw
one Of his friends led across the
yard in charge of policemen. Byrnes,
watching him narrowly, saw his
cheek blanch, but still his nerve
held. Fifteen. minutes passed; an
other door banged. The murderer,
looking out, saw his other pal led in
q prisoner. He looked at Byrnes.
The chief nodded.
"Squealed, both"
It was lie, and it coat the man
his life. "The jig is up, then," he
said and told: the story that brought
him to The gallows.-Jacob Riis in

She Got the Money.

A poor couple living in the Elmer
aid Isle went to the priest for mar
riage, and were met with demand for
the marriage fee. Both the contract
ing parties were ricb in love and in
their prospects; but destitute of finan-
cial resources. The father was obdu-
rate. "No money, no marriage"
"Give me lave, your reverence, :"
said the blushing bride, "to go aud
get the money"
1t was given, and she sped forth on
the delicate mission of raising mar
riage fee out Of pure nothing. After
a short interval she returned with the
sum of money, and the ceremony was
completed to the satisfaction Of all.
When the parting was taking place
the newly made wife seemed little
uneasy.
Anything on your mind, Gather
ine2' said the father.
"Well, your rivercnce, would like
to know if this marriage could not be
spoiled now?"
Certainly not, Catherine. No man
can put you asunder."
"Could you not do it yourself, faith
er? Gould you not spoil the mar
riage?"
'No, no, Catherine. You are past
sne now. have nothing more to do
with your marriage"
'That aises me mind" said Cath
crime, ''and God bless your riverence.
There's the ticket for your hat. I
picked it up in the lobby and pawned
it. t."-Zyt-Bits.

Fenefits of Abstinence.

Sometimes in the edit orial columns
of daily paper VIC hnyc the truth
freely set forth. Take, for instance,
the Record Herald, of Chicago. The
editor of that paper in commenting
upon q remarkable statement of one
Mrs. Carrie Brown in addressing the
Social Economic Club of Chicago,
that total abstinence is sometimes
worse than intemperance,'" the editor
among other things says: drinking
water satisfies natural thirst, drink
ing whiskey an unnatural one. Excess
in whiskey drinking produces temper
arily or even permanently madman,
fool or an insensible lump of blood
and bones. Complete abstent;on
leaves the head clear and all the bodi-
iy functions in q normal condition.
The comparison will not stand min
ute's inspection. Abstention alone
may nc. make character, but intem-
perance undoubtedly weakens the
moral stamina, and it is the opinion
OF many physicians that almost any
use of alcohol internally is an abuse
of the human system, while absten-
ton helps toward virility and good
health. The theory that spirituous
liquor is food necessity is now alb
solutely untenable. and there are not
few people who hold it is not even a
medical necessity

Invention Of Poplln.

The original invention of poplin
is claimed by Ayignon, France, once
papal see, on which account it was
called q papaline in compliment to
the reigning pope, at which time
(the fifteenth century, this rich ma
terial was produced to supply the
gorgeous ecclesiastical vestments
and hangings in use. The industry
was introduced into Dublin by
French immigrants, refugees at the
time Of the revocation of the edict
of Nantes, who settled in that part
OF the Irish capital called the Lib
critics. The La Touche family es-
tabhshed the first organized manu-
factory there, which commenced
operations in 1893.

A Wonderful Memory.

The following anecdote Of Mo-
zart shows that he must have been
a born musician:
When fourteen years old, he heard
in Rome the sMiserere" Of Allie
gri, and knowing that it was for
hidden to take or give n copy Of this
famous piece, he paid such atten-
ton to the music that when he
reached home he noted down the
entire piece. He was enabled a few
days afterward to check the copy,
when he found that he had. not
made single mistake. The next
day he produced such a sensation
in Rome by singing the 'Miserere"
at Q concert that Pope Clement
XIV. requested that he should be
presented to him. Thus by his
wonderful memory he was enabled
to begin with success his musical
career.

TOKYO A CITY OF PLEASURE.
in Some Ways Japan's Capital Is
More Fascinating Than Paris.

IN Some Ways Japan'5 Capital Is
More Fascinating Than Paris.
Of all the lands in the world mono
exerts the peculiar fascination of
japan. Others have equal beauty
of scenery, greater grandeur, more
noble works of art, moro interesting
problems of society, writes David
Starr. Jordan in The Humanitarian.
But none possesses an equal fascina-
tion. No one who has been in the
real Japan which lies outside the
treaty ports and the foreign hotels
and railways ever could or ever
would forget his experience. No
one, if he could, would ever fail to
return.
The great secrct. of this charm
lies with the people themselves.
They have made fine art of per-
sonal relations. Their acts are
those of good taste and good humor.
Two cities of about the same size
and relative Importance are Paris
and Tokyo Nc two could slow u
greater contrast in spirit. Both are
in sense cities Of pleasure. Tokyo
is city of continual joyousness, lit
tie pleasures drawn from simple
things, which leave no sting and
draw nothing from future happi-
ness. Paris is fcvcrish and feels
the difference in the morning" and
the s'hard, fierce lust and cruel
deed" which go with the search for
pleasure that draws on the future
for the joys of the present.
No one who catches the spirit of
Paris can fail to miss the underlying
sadness, the pity of it all. The
spirit of Tokyo-not of all Tokyo,
but Of its life as a whole-is as
fresh as the song of birds, as "sweet
as children's prattle is" and it is
good to be under it's spell.

ARTIFICIAL EYES.
From Pare's Crude Invention to the
Modern Work OF Art.

From Pare's Crude Invention to the
Modern Work OF Art.
The earliest known mention of
modern artificial eyes-that is, eyes
worn inside the e-orbit-occurs in an
exceedingly rare illustrated work
on surgery written by French sur
geon named Ambrose Pare and
published in Paris in 1861. Pare
invented three artificial eyes. The
first was wonderful continuance.
It consisted of thin metal spring
band which passed half way round
the wearer's head. having on one
end q small oval plate, which cover
ed the orbit of the eye and the other
end pressed against the back of the
head. The oval plate was covered
with smooth, soft leather, on which
an eye was painted. It would, per-
haps, be difficult to devise anything
more inelegant or uncomfortable.
The second device was hollow
globe of gold, eye shaped and en-
ameled, which was worn inside the
sochet-the first recorded artificial
eye thus worn.
The third contrivance was simply
q "shell pattern" eye, exactly SINH
lar in shape to those now used, but
made of gold and enameled. Ex-
cept that they were made of gold
and enameled, the two latter were
practically of the same design as the
"globe" and ssshell'' glass eyes of the
present day.
Pare's clumsy, trusslike appli-
ance, and his two gold eyes, which
were used only by the wealthy, were
succeeded by eyes made Of painted
porcelain and colored pearl white,
which Immediately became i'm
mensely popular. Next came the
invention Of glass eyes, which in
etantly superseded all others and
still command the public favor.
Glass eyes, which were invented
in 1879, were well known in Shake
speare's time. In scKing Lear" (act
4, scene g., written in 1905 and
first published in 1908, Lear,
with crushing derision, thus advises
The blinded traitor Gloucester, "Get
thee glass eyes, and {" seem
to see." AS a strict necessity,
Gloucester would have required
globe pattern eyes.
In Shakespeare's day glass eyes
were literally the finest productions
of very inferior workmanship, the
iris and the pupil being hand paint
ed in the best style of that rough
and ready period. However, as
Father Time marched along glass
eyes progressed and improved in
make and finish, especially within
the last half century, and now they
have reached high standard Of ex-
cellence as works of art.-Cham-
hers' Journal.

Why He Kept Silent.

at en- evening party gentleman
related an adventure in which he had
been the principal actor, and, seeing
unmistakable shadows Of doubt on the

To his utter confusion his friend
denied all knowledge Of the affair.

The Origin Of the Menu.

A German gastrononiical publica-
ton gives the following account Of
the origin Of the menu: At the
meeting of electors in Regensburg
in the year 1889 Elector Henry Of
Braunschweig attracted general no.
tice at d state dinner. He. had q
long paper before him, to which he
referred every time before he order
ed dish. The Earl of Montford,,
who sat near Him, asked him what
he was reading The elector silent
~ handed the paper to his inter
rogator. It contained list of the
yiands prepared for the occaeion
which tho elector had ordered the
cook to write out for him. The idea
of having snch q List so pleased the
iiiustrions assembly that they in
troduced it each in his own house

OF having 0 menn has spread all over
