II quarters and were talking over
the various things that aid them
in their work of tracing criminals. They
had talked over the different ways of get
ting tips that had giver; them good clews
in notorious cases and what strange expe-
rences they often had in getting their
cIews Finally the conversation turned to
the use of bloodhounds in tracking GRIM
inals.
1t is we'll known that ;twice bloodhounds
have been brought herd to aid in catch
ing murderers and that both times they
were no help; they only took the officers
over a great territory Ind then lost the
trail The reason given: for their not do
ing better that the trails were too old
and had been recrossed TOO often by other
persons and the dogs could not follow the
scent. However, the detectives do not
think bloodhounds amount to much in
hunting criminals, and ,one in the crowd
who had followed the hounds both times
that they worked here said:
II dent believe in using bloodhounds for
tracing criminals. They might be all right
in an Uncle Toms Cabins company to chase
little Eva over the canvas ice, but you put
them on the street to track a murderer
and they are no good. Inithe beginning they
always run over miles after miles of coun-
try, and they go at such.a gait that man
has to hustle TO keep up; and you can't
horse, for they go in such roundabout
ways and over so many fences that a horse
is of little avail; so the only thing a man
can do is to walk and try and keep up with
them.
IF a chase of this Kind ever came to
anything it would be all right, but after you
have followed the dogs through alleys
over back fences, into cellars, through
stables and then gone many miles out in
the country AMI are far from home they
will suddenly stop working and then the
game is over"
At this juncture some one asked when
it was that the dogs were used here in
hunting murderers, and. the detective re-
Piled:
THE first time was when Merchant Po-
liceman John l.. WatterSon was murdered
on the might before Christmas, 1S93 on
the commons at the corner of Sixteenth

by couple of burglars who were attempt

A Circular BARN.

A circular barn has been Completed
by James Sears, whose farm is near
Lapel, Ind. The walls, or rather wall,
of the barn r twenty-five feet high
and sixty-fve feet in diameter, the roof
running to a cone. There is no such
thing as a post Oh pillar in the barn.
In order to prevent the weight of the
roof from spreading the walls, Sears,
who is a practical blacksmith, forged
three heavy steel hoops, and with these
he encircled the structure as a band
would be put around a big water tank.
The barn is cyclone proof, for Boreas
has no chance to get a hold on the
structure. Inside a driveway runs
clear around. The stalls for horses and
cattle are arranged in a circle, there is
a big feeding oom in the centre, and
a silo extends from the ground to the
roofs one Mr.. Sears claims that he
can shelter more stock and stow away
more feed in the barn than in the Oh.
binary farm structure.

Captain II. B. Sewers, of Muskogee,
claims to be the only white person now
living yer adopted by the Greek tribe
of Indians. Unlike other nations the
Creeks were averse to the adoption Of
whites, and the records, so far back
as the Greeks have records, show the
adoption of but five persons Of white
blood.
The law of adoption in the Greek
nation, unlike that of the Cherokee,
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, is
very strict. TO adopt a citizen requires
a vote of the council and a decree of
the Indian judge Of the tribe. In the
other nations there is q general law
which provides that a white person,
male or female. by taking up residence
in the nation and marrying an Indian
by blood according to the Indian mar
rage ceremony, becomes a citizen of
the nation and is therefore entitled to
all the rights and privileges of a full
blood Indian. There have been no
adoptions in any of the tribes since the
Curtis act, passed in 1896. These in
termarriages and adoptions have
caused much trouble in the final set

quently interesting. The latest pub
lished in this class come from a person
who took to studying for a few weeks
the folk who eyed themselves in a GER
tain elevator having two sides freely
set with mirrors. His first attempt
was to decide whether more women
than men %patronized the looking glass,
during which he learned, perhaps to
his surprise, that the patrons were
equally divided between the sexes.
Next he fell to studying the object Of
each sex in this contemplation of self,
with the result that he opined that men
peered into the mirror for the sole pur-
pose of seeing and approving them
selves. while with women there seemed
to be a desire to be sure that their hats
were tipped at the right angle, and that
the numerous bows affected now by
the fair sex were all in the place die
tated by custom. Thus it seems to be
established that vanity alone prompted
the men to look, while q c~ommendable
wish to be 'set right animated the
women.-Boston Transcript.

AGRICULTURAL
in Swine.

An unusual number Of inquiries
r made regarding a cure for rheu.
matism among swine, mainly with the
summer dropped pigs. In the majority
of cases this trouble is due to pens that
are either draughty or damp, perhaps
both. This being the case, the first
thing to do is to fix the pens, seeing to
it that the floor is dry and kept so,
and that the pigs have a heavy bedding
of dry material every night. Then
see that the water given them is clean,
and that there are nc direct draughts
of air blowing over them at night. To
relieve the attack, let the feed be of
middlings and milk, for the pigs and
the hogs also, with a half pint of
dried blood meal divided equally for
the three feeds daily end mixed in the
feed. If other attacks follow, give
five grains each of salol and quinine
concealed in some vegetable, such as
the half Of a small potato.
