THE PRETENsE or LONELY MAN.

Had no One Near Him and so Gave
himself Testimonials and Presents.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
Speaking about Christmas presents"
said a jewelers. clerk who sometimes
drops in of a Saturday night at the lit
tie Bohemian restaurant in the Old Quar-
ter, "Ill tell you a story. Four or five
years ago an old fellow who was pretty
we'll known as an expert insurance can
vasser died at a city not a thousand
miles from here. and distant relative,
who took charge of his effects, was con-
siderably perplexed over an inscription
he found on the inner case of his watch.
1t ran like this Presented to- by his
fellow workers, In token OF their affection-
ate esteem, Christmas, 1891" Nobody In
the office where he had been employed
for dozen years knew anything about
the presentation, and any sensible man
would have taken that as a tip that
there was something behind the affair
that oughtn't TO be pried into. In short.
the proper thing TO do was to annex the
watch and respect the secret Of the dead.
But this distant relative was q sort OF
amateur Sherlock Holmes. and he imme-
dlately scented an interesting mystery.
There's something very strange about
this he said, and I'm going to find out
what e is so he appointed himself

English physicist took up the matter,
and found that the youngsters were right
in preferring clear honey soap to other
kinds for making big bubbles. The true
reason lay In the fact that the favorte
soap contained trihe more glycerine than
other popular brands A number OF ex-
periments soon disclosed the proportion OF
slycerine 10 soap in order to obtain The
best results. With this combination the
gray-hlired scientists blew bubbles two
and three feet in diameter, and one OF
them - sald TO have had a wild, enthus-
iastic audience of little children, who sat
watching him for an hour or more.
The Investigations have been utilized By
several enterprising soap-boilers, who
now turn out soap-bubble soap. With
this a 3-year-oder can make bubbles as
large as himself. Not only are the iri-
descent spheres larger than usual. but
they last longer. When launched care
fully from the end of the pipe they viii
float from two or three times as long as
do those made from ordinary soaps A
very pretty experiment is to blow a bulb
bic with cigar or cigarette smoke instead
of the natural breath. The glycerine gives
a play Of rainbow color on the surface
of the bubble and the space within being
rendered opaque by the cigar fumes. the
entire effect is that of a giant pearl fioat-
ing the air
If few drops of any essential oil. such
as violet Glove. or geranium. is stirred
into the lather the particles will be sepa-
rated, and. on account OF the soap and
glycerine will not segregate upon the sur
face, as they do on water A bubble blown
under these circumstances communities
the drops of oil to almost Uncomfortable
smallness. aud when the bubble finally
breaks The oil Is sprayed IN every direc-
tlon more finely than by the best atomizer
A single large bubble launched in this
way will mn a parlor or drawing-roora
with an invisible film Of perfume which
win last for twenty.four hours.

ground for her criminals and paupers.
This factor has been forcibly brought
to the attention of the local authorities
by the arrival in this port of three Ital-
ian brigands whose depredations made
them scourge to the province in which
they were reared. Desparing of being
relieved in any manner, the merchants
upon whom they had preyed, made up
a liberal purse with which the three
were sent to this country, landing with
enough money in their pockets to peck
cts to pass unquestioned. The three

The law presumes that person
charged with having committed 9
crime, is innocent until his guilt has
been proven beyond reasonable doubt,
but Notwithstanding this presumption,
every now and then innocent persons
are convicted, many of whom no doubt
go to their graves with q felo rs stigma
resting upon them. Such convictions
are usually based upon the evidence Of
detectives, or hand writing experts. A
recent case is that of Geo. j. Boggs,
who, while postmaster at Shawnee o. z.
in Apri! 1898, was arrested for stealing
registered packages containing $456.
He was tried, and convicted on the testi-
mony of hand writing experts and SEN
fenced to four years in prison. He
carried the case to the Court of APP
peals where his sentence was affirmed,
then to the United States Supreme
Court where he again met defeat. As
q last resort his friends made an appeal
IN his behalf to President Mckinley
who refused to extend clemency to him
After he had exhausted every resource
and spent every dollar he had, he wst
saved from felons cell by the con
fession of man named Lovelsdy, 9
post office clerk, who confessed that he
stole the packages, and said that when
Boggs was arrested he wanted to con
TESS to save Boggs, but lawyer ad
vised against his doing so, declaring
that Boggs could never be convicted.
