Cigars ms Clews.

"Valuable clews toward the detec-
tion of criminals are obtained through
an examination Of cigar STUBS" said a
Scotland Yard detective. This applies
to those who smoke cigars, the stubs
of which they carelessly throw away
in the street or elsewhere.
'If you pick up any stub and exam
inc it closely, you will be able to learn
something as to the personality and so
cial position Of the man who threw II
away. In the case of criminals the
first point to be considered is the man.
ner in which the end was cut off from
the cigar. If knife or any other in
strument was used for this purpose,
then this instrument will doubtless be
found on the criminal; If, on the other
hand, 1t was bitten off with the teeth,
thorough examination of the tip will
show what kind of teeth were used for
this purpose.
"A man with a row of even teeth will
bite off the end of his cigar squarely
and evenly, whereas one with jagged,
uneven teeth will bite it unevenly and
In such manner as to leave clearly
visible the marks of his incisors. BY
comparing the marks on cigar stubs
with the teeth OF suspected criminals
prosecuting officers and detectives are
able to obtain information which they
could not possibly obtain any other
way."-London Answers.

couldn't but be frightened, away on

doctor, and my husband was more
frightened than was. BY the advice
of the hotel proprietor, however, we
did not call In the resident American

always being rejected.
sNo foreign hotel proprietor was ever
known to recommend resident Amer
lean physician. Our Neapolitan host
sent out for a regulation 'dottore,' who
prescribed no more stringent course or
treatment than drinking as much wa
ter as possible; not a pennywelght OF
medicine. l simply kept a pitcher OF
pure cold water and glass upon the
table at my side, and about every 10
minutes i quaffed good, long draft.
That cold was scattered like magic.
After the first day / should scarcely

of one. Here at home in America
whenever l want to scatter threaten
ed cold promptly follow the prescrip-
ton of my NeapolItan 'dottore' and

A years old. The family recently moved
to a new locality in the city only few

where several mules are kept.
The next morning after arriving at

OF the street car mules braying. 1t
was the first time she had ever heard
a mule bray, and she listened for a
long time before she said:
Mamma, is that one Of papa's
friends calling him?"
"No" said her mother; 81 hear no one
calling your father"
"Yes, there is" said the small girl.

civil war called forth is found in sto
nv told Of old Parson Helton, Baptist
preacher of Tennessee.
He had IS sons, 16 of whom were in
the Union army and 2 in the Confeder

When the old minister had reached
his eighty eighth year, some one, who
did not know about his sons views,
asked him where his sympathies lay
during the war.
"My sympathies were with the Union

Bleaching by Electricity.

Some information as to the advan
tageS Of new method of bleaching
textiles by means of electricity is Civ,
en- In a recent communication to the
State Department by Ernest L. Harris
United States Consular Agent at Eib
enstock, Germany. The new method
which has been invented by a German
professor and a firm of electricians in
Saxony, consists of passing currents OF
electricity through brine, producing a
liquor strongly impregnated with so.
dunn hypochlorite, which, it is said
advantageously replaces chloride of
lime for all bleaching purposes.
The advantages of this new agent
are that it possesses the highest
bleaching power; there Is no injury or
loss to the weight Of the fabric; lime
and magnesia salts are not deposited
on the cloth-a valuable point in the
subsequent dyeing and printing pro-
cesses-the liquor is always of one
strength, and the cost of production is
less. Rock salt or sea salt may be
used for the mixing of the brine, pro-
Vided it contains no material injurious

A Whole Meal For One Cent.

Speaking of cheap restaurants"
said a gentleman who has just re.
turned from a visit to London, to the
writer, reminds me of dining sa.
loon in the Whitechapel district of
London, where a relishing and fairly
substantial meal may be had for a
half penny, or one cent in our money.
This cheap repast is not served up in
the shape of cut from joint and
two vegetables. 1t is a big brown
pie, very juicy and very hot. The
absence Of beefsteak is evident when
you cut the pie, but you find inside
a liberal sprinkling of sleeps liver.
onions and turnips and a plentiful
supply of gravy. For a half penny ex-
ira two slices of bread and a Gun of
tea are supplied. Between the hours
of II and 2 the poor and hungry from
all parts Of the east end of the city
flock to this dining room. Most of
the patrons are shoeblacks, penny-toy
men, costermongers, and now and then
young clerks whose salaries will not
permit them to indulge in more cost

at the moment when q Laird" dieQ
and keeping them 60 until after the

castle. where the clock In the tower
was stopped at the hour Of Queen Vic

The Chinese residents Of North 70
kima have many sacks OF rice supposed
to have been poisoned by the oalcials
and missionaries In China. One mer-
chant has twenty sacks put away, and
refuses to eat any or sell to Che Chi

that at least $500 Is invested IN pois-
