The Waaherwomen and Her Nosa.

There is washerwoman In
Paris that Is in great trouble. Two
years ago she had a fight with her
husband, In the course of which
SO mucl skiG was taken from her
nose that some new had to be
grated on. Recently she made
the horriiying discovery that
fnc coat of hair was growing on
her new nose, and then learned
that tile doctors at the hospital
who had treated her had used the
skin FROM d human scalp for graft
Ing purposes. The poor washer
woman then went to the courts to
ask for a divorce, urging cruelty
al cause, because it was her hus-
bands brutality which took the
original skin from off her nose,
which resulted in the grating, the
hair and the rdicule Of her neigh
hors.

THE
ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are 50 apparent that we are almost
ashamed to talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose Of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said if he had thought
of it, If a man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed. And our Office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
half bushel.
Ro TO save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light III quantity Of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality Of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give a strong, clear, vivid write
light. That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
Iof it.
If our points are not clear to you
il is undoubtedly due TO the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you
will put in a full equipment of, elec-
trio lighes the whole subject will be
made beautifully luminous and we
will have. peace i'll the family.

THE DICKENS CASE

tOriginall
| once asked a detective to give me
his straIssest case.
Il can give you the case worked up
from the NEST remote clew," he said.
That's the Dickens case"
Tell rae about it,
Henry Dickens was a very rich old
man. He had a daughter who had
married against his will, and he was
supposed to have disinherited her.
Some one of several nephews and nieces
was supposed to be his heir, but no one
knew. One day he was found dead in
his bed with a bottle of pruSsie acid
on the table beside him \ will WAS
found leaving Il small part of his for
tune TO his daughter, the rest to char
liable institutions
"Opinion was divided as to whether
he had been poisoned or murdered. HE
daughters husband, Edward Clarke,
took charge of his effects Immediately,
and the first thing he did was to SEND
for me. | looked through the house,
picking up bit of paper Il half
burned Match vial anything, every
thing that might possibly furnish IA
clew. In the kitchen | noticed some
white dust on the floor that looked as
if flour had been spilled and taken up,
leaving a trace. One of the servants
told me that a tin can of starch had
been left on a table the night before
1t WAS found where it had been left.
OF course | took the bottle of prussic
acid, almost surrounded With the label
on which was in big red letters the
word 'PoiSen' over a skull and cross
bones.
Il confess that after looking through
everything. including the private let
ters and papers | was as much at Il
loss where to begin as before | entered
upon my work. did not suspect any
one. The daughter was very much cut
up over her fathers death, and her
husband told me that he suspected
that the old mans death was connect
ed with an abOrtive attempt on the
part of some one to get possession Of
his property. Since the daughter and
son-n-law got only small portion Of
it, there was not sufficient interest to
implcate them.
The poison bottle / examined with Il
magnifying glass. There We're traces
on it Of something colorless; l could
not tell what. 1t might have been
powder softened by moisture. l took
the bottle to a chemist and asked him
to analyZe the substance on the label.
Taking off a very small piece of the la
bel, he busted himself in his laboratory
While waited.
There's starch in it, he said at
last
'Starch?' repeated, thinking
Starch? Where has starch turned up
in this case? All, have it.. Professor,
there was some starch spilled on the
kitchen floor
"'Indeed? Well, whoever spilled
