ciRcuMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE,
Remarkable Coincidence Which Would
Have Made Bad Case for
Innocent Man.

Several years ago l took a late train
from Boston TO New York said a man in
business in Kansas City, according to the
Star. In the morning | was awakened
earlier than usual by the porter, who
said that robbery had been committed
on the sleeper during the night and that
all the passengers would have to get up.
Some one had taken six 500 bills from
the clothing of gentleman who occupied
berth in the middle of the car. Every
section had been taken before he left
Boston, and as the train had been. almost
constantly m motion it seemed certain
that the person who had committed the
theft was still on the car. The porter
said no one had been aboard but the pas
sengers and that none Of them had left.
1t was proposed to search every5 body. A
man who had berth directly opposite
from the one who aad been robbed OBJ
lected. he told his name and said any
one might easily find that he was a man
OF good reputation. In the meantime
some officers boarded the car and after a
little sweating got the money from the
colored porter, who was the guilty one
Then the passenger who mad refused TO
pc searched asked the officers to examine
ms pockets. This seemed strange but he
INSISTED. In an inside pocket they found
SIX S1OO bills. 1t was merely a coincidence
that he should have the same amount of
money as the other passenger had lost
ana IN exactly the same denominations
but he knew that under the circumstances
ne could hardly establish his innocence.
How was that for case of circumstantial

THE SUCCESSFUL HOUSE.
The Architect Tells What It Should
and What It Should
Not Be.

The successful house must, first OF
all, be homelike. If it has this char
acter-if it makes the observer, from
without and within, feel that herein is
a home in the great American mean
ing Of the word, it is in q large meas
| ure successful, whatever its minor
defaults may be. A palace does not
have a homelike appearance, because
the very architecture that makes it a
palace impresses us with the feeling
that it is beyond the boundaries of the
simple, unaffected comfort that has
made home dear to us. So also the
howell is not homelike because the
possibility of comfort is wanting.
We want to divide houses into three
classes, in the minds of the readers
impossible, possible and probable.
! Houses are impossible when the best
Housekeeping, the most tasteful decor
sting, the cleverest furnishing, all
combined, can't make them homelike.
They are numerous on paper, and what
is more, they are numerous in actual
ity, from clap-boarded cottages to
stone-carved mansions. Possible
| houses are better. With ingenuity
and good taste in furnishing and dec
Grating, and much care in keeping
things Just so" they may have the
air of quiet refinement and coy COM
fort which fulfill our ideal of home.
But must we stop with the ''poss1-
bIe?' Why not strive for the prob
ablu?"
Have you ever, Madame Housewife,
COME home from a call on your neigh
Dor, and wished with a sigh that your
house looked as neat and homelike
and comfortable as hers? And you
were certain in your own mind
Though you wouldn't have said so)
that you were as clever as she, and
that your furniture and bric-a-brac
cost fully as much. And you knew
that she kept but one maid, and had
time to- write papers for the club, and
read the latest books, while you shaved
all day, and counted yourself fortu-
nate if you were dressed in time to
greet your husband when he came
home to dinner? Did it ever occur to
you that perhaps her house was built
homelike; that it's refined simplicity
was part and parcel of it; that it only
had to be given chance in order to
pervade the place? Your neighbor bad
q probable" house.
We hear a great deal nowadays
about artistic houses. They have
towers and turrets, and spindles and
spools-but the gingerbread of yester-
day will not suffice for the spice cake
CT tomorrow. The style changes, and
the unhappy owner realizes that what
he has is not only out-af-date, but,
now that the novelty is worn off, ugly.
The truly artistic house, like every
thing else that is truly beautiful, does
not get out of date.

81 cannot tell you how long to know
the real man. Through his stories have
learned to know the heights and depths

no one else can, the new thoughts and
hopes that have come to me. Before l

worked and struggled all his life to make

AMERICAN APPLES POPULAR
Fresh Product, First Sent to Germany
During Season 1s96-97, Creates
Good Foreign Demand.

The traffic in fresh apples and the
various dried fruits produced so album
dainty in the United States is al i'm
portant branch of the American export
trade to Germany. The first important
assignment of fresh apples from the
United States to Germany occurred dur
ing the season Of 189697, when, stimu-
lated by an enormous crop in the United
States and a practical failure Of that
fruit in northern Europe, exporters
sent over whole cargoes, which filled
the city markets In German cities and
gave the public an opportunity to ap-
preciate the superior quality of the
American apple. Unfortunately, the
apples had been gathered and packed
for the home trade, and had not been
selected for export. AS a result, large
quantities were lost through decay. The
following year brought short apple
crop in America, and few were exported.
Then the trade was taken up more in
diligently. Apples of preferred vari-
cites were carefully gathered selected
and packed for the continental trade, with
the result that in 1900 the total export
Of fresh apples to Germany reached
1,760 tons. This increased the next
year so that it trebled itself, and the
American apple made its way into more
general use than ever before, and laid
the foundation of a large and permanent
future demand,

CHANGES I'M TIE COMPASS
Magnetic Influence of Island Respon-
sible for Wrecking of Ocean
Steamer

On the morning of June % last the
Danish steamer Norge struck the Isiand
Of Rockall, to the west of the Hebrides;
the ship broke up, and some 600 lives
were lost. Apropos of this disaster,
says the London Telegraph, DR.. August
Krogh, of Copenhagen, asks the some
what perturbing question: Can the
compasses of modern ships be influenced
by magnetic disturbances to such de-
gree as to imperil navigation"
According to her course, the Norge
should have been 25 miles to the south Of
Rockall, and DR.. Krogh assumes that it
is impossible to account for the differ
ence between the ships real position and
that of the reckoning, without assuming
a sudden and large change in the devia-
ton of the compass. He forwards to
Nature dispositions made by two captains
in confederation of this view.
The first of these is by Capt Hveysel,
of the steamer Carl, who states that on a
voyage from the United Safest to- Dem
stellar observation, that in very short
time, when in the neighborhOod of
Rockall "both the compasses of the ship
had acquired hitherto unknown easter
ly deviation of 10 to II degrees. A faint
northern light was visible, and the cap
tain attributed to this cause the mag
netic disturbance. Toward midnight the
compasses were observed to return to
their normal deviation"
The second evidence is that of Capt.
F. w. Horner, Of the British ship Elixir
of West Hartlepool, who came into the
vicinity of Rockall island on voyage
from Florida to Linhamn, in Sweden.
He found that between noon, June "a,
and noon, June rs, the compasses had
deviated nine degrees. was Steering"
he says, ''to pass 20 miles north of it. :"
In other words, if he had been on the
south side of the island his ship would
have suffered the same fate as the Norge.
Disturbances of the compass needle like
these are unknown; and the peril they
involve would justify inquiry by the
governments of Britain and Denmark to
discover whether there exists something
about Rockall's seagirt pyramid to &C
count for them.

ENcRAvER OF DIAMONDS.
Paris Jeweler Uses Secret Tools in
His Work on the Precious
Stones.

Diamonds can be engraved in a very
artistic manner This development of
the diamond cutting art brings into ex-
istence new class of jewelry, for which
considerable demand is expected. says
IN eastern exchange. 1t was long be-
ueVed that the diamond could not be en-
graved with safe or satisfactory re-
suits. A few stones roughly engraved
were found in India, and diamond was
exhibited at the Paris exposition in 1878
on which portrait of the king of Hol-
land was scratched. But the work was
imperfect and the stones were rather de-
polished than engraved.
Some of the finest specimens of en-
craving on diamonds are the work of M.
Bordinet, a Paris jeweler. One is a scarf
pin representing yataghan, of which
the blade is slender diamond and the
handle ruby. Another is a large cir
cular stone on which pansy with it's
foliage is engraved. In another case the
design is knife made with two dia-
monds. An elaborate piece of work is a
bicycle of which the wheels are two cir
GUAR diamonds. The spokes are repre-
sented by lines engraved on the dia-
monds. A small hole is pierced at each
axle. Another diamond is carved like a
fish, A handsome brooch is a scara-
Daeus, surrounded by sapphires and brill
liants.
Inc most remarkable is ring made OF
one diamond, the interior surface being
polished and the exterior deliberately en-
graved. Other examples are brooches.
representing flies, of which the wings are
thin engraved diamonds. and two dia-
monds engraved with armorial bearings,
the imperial arms of Russia being used
IN one instance on shirt and cuff but
tons.
Formerly 1t was only possible to pro-
duce the polish on fiat surfaces, but M.
Bord1net has been able to do this on con-
cave portions, as on the body and tail OF
fish and the interior of the ring. His
TOOLS produeefnOtonly straight lines, as
IN the wheel, the racquet and the flies

pansy, the Russian arms and the scara-
Daeus. He has invented these tools HIM
self, and intends that his son alone shall
have the use of them. They are exceed
ingly delicate and difficult to handle. He
has spent 95 years bringing them to per-
lection. It is comparatively but few
years since it was possible to pierce holes
In diamonds. This feat made possible
the placing of diamonds on a string, al

Cape jumping Hare,

DIR. P. L. Sclater writes an account in
knowledge of the cape jumping hare,
an animal from which the artist, Mr..
Goodchild, has drawn the illustration
is the only one which has ever bsan
brought alive to England. The spring
haas, or cape jumping hare, is nocturnal
or, at any rate, crepuscular, in its hab-
it's. It lives in small communities on
the open veldt, both in the plains and
in the mountain ranges, and makes large
and deep burrows in the ground, whence
it emerges toward sunset, being rarely
seen in the bright daylight. When
chased in the open it proceeds in great
bounds like a jerboa or kangaroo, for
which its highly developed hind legs are
admirably adapted, and is even said to
move faster uphill than down. It's food
is entirely of a vegetable nature, and
consists of roots and green stuff OF all
sorts. It's flesh, according to LIE VSki'
liant, is very good to eat and in his day
was much appreciated by the Hotten :
tots and Kaffirs.

Would Like Japs to Be Tall.

The pet desire of the emperor of Japan
is said to be to create by means of a
more carniyorous diet a taller race Of
soldiers. The European style of food
was tried for several years on small
boys in the government schools, but they
disliked it, and it did not give the de-
sired results. The report of the doc
tors who had charge OF these children
at the government schools could suggest
no better way to secure tall soldiers than
to encourage the japanese to marry Eu-
