He began to paddle steadily with

Peggy did not know what to do. Her
mind swung like a pendulum, and at
one moment this little excursion seem
ed harmless pleasure and again 1t
was a fatal indiscrction. Upon the
whole, the second view gained ground
until at last She was the prey of terror.

CATCHING A THIEF.
An Old Method Utilized by IA German
Officer In China.

Thirty dollars was stolen at the Of
fcers' club in Tientsin, China, and the
members Of the club resolved, if posi-
bic, to catch the thief.
A German captain volunteered to
manage the affair, and the first thing
he did was to summon all the native
servants of the club. He then said TO
them:
"Some money has been stolen here,
and | am looking for the thief / shall
find him in an hour, not before, since
need that much time in order to get
instructions from q celebrated magi-
clan in Germany"
An hour later all the servants re
again summoned, but this time Ia a
dark room, In the middle of Y IN
stood the table on which the money
stolen had been laid.
Each Of you, nOw," said the officer,
must go up to that table and press on
it first your right and then your left
hand, and when that Is done you must
raise your two hands over your head
and step into the next room"
The servants did so, and as the last
one stepped into the adjoining room
the officer followed him, and after
looking for a few moments at the many
upltfted hands he pointed to one man
and said, You are the thief" The
Chinaman to whom he pointed nearly
fell to the ground with fright and ad-
mitted his guilt and promised to make
restitution.
Very simple was the method adopted
by the officer for discovering the cul-
prit. While the native servants sup
posed that his spirit was In Germany
In communion with the celebrated ma
glcian he was carefully smearing the
surface of the table In the dark room
with fat and oil, which he then black
cncd by means Of SCOT. The innocent
servants naturally pressed their hands
on the table, according to his instruc-
tions, but the culprit, though super.
stitiOus, did not do so.
AS a result, while the uplifted hands
Of all the others were coal black, his
were of a natural color, and thus his
guilt was clearly proved.-Detroit Free

"This will teach you q lesson" he
said. when you 60 out with Mr..

Peggy looked up at him with eyes
that were round with wonder.

Onion Sauce.

As a change from the tomato sauce
usually served with Dreaded lamb
chops try an onion sauce made in this
way: Slice two or, if very small, three
onions and cook them in water for a
few moments and drain. Put them in
to just enough boiling water to cover,
add a little salt and cook until tender
of flour and butter and when perfectly
smooth add one-half pint of stock,
three or four tablespoonfuls of cream
and Il saltspoonful each of salt and
sugar and dash Of cayenne. When
the onion is tender, press it through a
colander and add the water in which
1t had been cOoked.-NCw York Post.

KILLED THE SPIDER.
Deadly influence of n Small Magnet
on the Insect.

oh hhS
An experiment made By, a, scientist
to test the influence Wnlcn Il magnet
will have ON a spider is Of interest.
The magnet employed was a small
steel one of the L shape, the legs of
which were about two and q half
inches long by one-half inch wide and
one-sixth of an inch thick, the distance
between the poles being about one
quarter Of an inch.
Having noticed q small spider active

ends of the poles were within q quar-
ter Of an inch Of it. The animal, with
out being touched, almost Instantly
stopped, and on withdrawing the mag
net the spider continued on his jour
ney,
The experimenter then placed the
magnet within half an inch In front Of
the spider, and, Withdrawing 1t slow
ly, the latter followed 1t In every direc-
ton which the magnet took, both In
straight and circuitous routes.
Gradually, however, the spider be-
came so strongly magnetized as to be
immovable for several minutes, the
magnetic influence seeming to lose its
further power. On withdrawing the
magnet altogether the spider began to
recover somewhat.
The scientist ultimately placed q
tumbler over the spider and the mag
net, covering them both completely
and at the expiration Of several min
utes the spider, after struggle to es'
cape from the strong influence which
the magnet exercised over 1t, was
dead.-Exchange.

The Word FIntterS.

At first sight there would appear to
be little connection between aattery
and the wagging Of dogs tail, yet
In nearly all the northern language the
same word signifies both, and fattery
Is certainly derived from the word sig
ntfying TO wag the tail. In the old
Norman fagra signifies to hatter and
also to wag the tail. In Danish logre
is to wag the tail, and logger for cen is
to fawn on one. In Dutch vleydcn Is
to fatter and vleydsteerten is to wag
the tail In the old German wedeln
Is to wag the tail, and in English
wheedle is to gain ones end In fat,
terry.
