The Great yidoco.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Arras in 1775. He began
life as baker and early became the
terror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was notorious thief,
and after many disgraceful adventures
he enlisted in the army. In 1896 he re-
turned to Paris with some money,
which, however, he soon squandered.
Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight
years hard labor for forgery, but re-
peatedly escaped, and in 1908 he be-
came connected with the Paris police
as detective.
His previous career enabled him to
render important services, and he was
appointed chief of the safety brigade,
chiefly composed of reprieved convicts,
which purged Paris Of the many dam
gerOus classes. In 1918 he received q
full pardon, and his connection with
this service lasted until about 1928,
when he settled at st. Mande as pa
per manufacturer Soon after the revO-
luton Of 1880 he became political de-
tective, but with little success. In 1S4S
he was again employed under the re-
publican government, but he died pen
nileSS in 1857.

Betting on a Certainty.

Peter Schemm, says the Philadelphia
Times, was fond Of telling the story Of
German typesetter who had been
boasting Of his capacity for lager.
"Youse Dutchman," he was told by
bartender, don't drink as much beer
as people says youse dor
"Of course not" Clipped in one Of
the customers. "And I'll bet you,
Dutchy, you can't drink bucketful."
The German was lost in thought for
moment and then hurriedly rushed
from the saloon, while the others roar
ed with laughter. His boasting was
still the topic Of conversation when he
returned, five minutes later, and calm
ly said:
CPL take that bet"
The money was posted, bar bucket
holding five quarts was filled and the
German promptly drank the beer and
took the S.. Nobody questioned that
he had won fairly, but one Of the on
lockers asked:
Say, what did you leave the saloon
for that time?'
"Why," he said as he winked with
the air Of man who was far too smart
for his fellows, 81 yust went down to
Schmidts and drank bucket to see II

Her sin had found her out. This
young fellow probably lived near the

frigidly.
"Why, you must have come on the

ed. Edyth's face burned.
"Why, yes; pity we didn't know"
Gilmore remarked chivalrously.
"He looked too nice not to be gen.

Mrs. Tillinghast as she led the way to
the carriage. II have all the rest Of

A light began to break in upon
Edyth. Her face was dimpling-en-
chanting, Gilmore thought.
"I'm so upset about your brother
Harry not being able to come. I have
girl here who is so interested in Har-
vard," Mrs Tillinghast explained.
Gilmore winked furtively at Edyth.
I'm awfully sorry, too," he said, stow

Who Invented the steam Engine,

Who Invented the Steam Enginef
The Marquis Of Worcester, while i'm
prisoned In the Tower of London in
1856, invented and constructed a per-
feet steam engine and had it publicly
exhibited the same year at Vauxhall
in successful operation. Thirty-four
years later, in 1890, Dennis Papin add
ed the piston to the marquis discovery.
In 1893 Captain Savary devised and
built steam engine different in many
details from those made by Worcester
and Papin, and in 17O5 Newcomb. Cav
ley and Savary constructed their cele-
brated atmospheric engine, which was
complete In every detail
The above array of historical facts
notwithstanding, James Watt, who
was not born until sixty years after
these great men had given the steam
engine to the world, enjoys the distinc-
ton OF being the veritable inventor.

Fulton, who lived and worked in the

orator must understand the prin-
ciples involved. then apply them to
each case. Skill in pruning can come
only with experience and practice.
Perhaps the most important thing
is To observe the manner In which
the fruit is borne. For instance, m
apple or pear tree bears its fruit
mostly on 'fruit spurs" and SO would
not be pruned in the same way as .
peach tree. which bears its fruit only
on last seasons growth. A ounce
tree. which produces its fruit on the
tips of the growth made the present
season, would naturally be prune'l
differently from either an apple or
peach tree. Likewise, the correct
pruning Of grapes is based on the
fact that the shoots of the present
season produce this years crop. The
same principle in pruning holds true
throughout the whole list OF fruits
that is, the manner in which the
fruit is borne should govern the man

| In general way, IL may be said
