| hunted carefully all over the floor; but l
couldn't find a thing that seemed the least Dlt
like a clue except a faded white carnat1on Of
course that wasn't unusual thing to find the
dav after a wedding; but it surprised me some

Fred Farand the night before and he had worn 1t IN

wired, and | had twisted it a certain way when
adjusted it for him. =,
This didn't seem like strong evidence against the
tutor but it was convincing to me, for II Mr. Wayne
was villain enough to steal ChristabeIs crystal, ne
was wicked enough to manage to get Fred's bouton-
Mere and leave it in the room, hoping thereby to
incriminate Fred So fearful was l that this tricI,
might make trouble for Fred that | said nothing
about the CarnatOn for knew that it was in Freds
coat when he said goodnight, and then we all went
directly to our rooms When the detective came
he examined the room, and L know that he d1dn
find anything in the way of evidence but he tired to
appear as if he had and he frOwned and jOtted down
notes in a book after the most approved fashion.
Then he called in everybody who had been IN the
house over night and questioned each one. l could
see at once that his questions to the family and
guests were purely perunctory, and that he too had
his suspicious of the tutor
Finally, it was Mr. Wayne's turn He always was
a nervous little man, and now he seemed terribly
fustered The detective gentle with him, and
in order to set him more at ease began to converse
generally on CRYSTALS He asked Mr.. Wayne If he
had travelled much, if he ever had been to Japan,
and if he knew much about the making and polishing
of crystal balls.
The tutor fidgeted around good deal and
seemed disincned to look the detective in the eye
but he replied that he never had been to Japan,
and that he never had heard of a Japanese rock
crystal until he had Miss Farland'S wedding
gift; and that even then he had idea of its
great value until since its disappearance he had
heard its price named
This sounded well; but his manner was so en-
barrassed, and he had such effect of a guilty
man. that l felt my intuitiOns were correct
and that he himself the thief
The detective seemed to think so too, for he said
at last: Mr. Wayne, your words seem to indicate
your innocence, but your attitudes do not. Unless
you can explain why you so agitated and appar-
emily afraid, l shall be forced to the conclusion
that you know more about this than you have
admitted
Then Mr. Wayne said: Must I tell all I know
about it, SIR"
Certainly" said the detective.

every bit true; but Mrs. Van Allen wouldn't believe
my explanation, and to this day she thinks made
my discoveries by gossiping with her servants.
Perhaps all this will help you to understand why

an clement of secret pleasure when we learned that
Christabes crystal really was missing.
Mr. Haley who a policeman, had remained
in the present-room during all OF the hours devoted
to the wedding celebration, and after the guests had
gone he had packed up the silver, gold and Jewels
and put them away in the family safe, which stood IN
a small dressing-room between Mrs. Farland's bed
room and Fred's. He had civilians dress
during the evening, and few if any of the guests
knew that he guarding the valuable gifts. The
mistake had been in not telling him explicitly to
care for the crystal the most valuable gem OF ALL
but this point had been overlooked and the ignorant
officer had assumed that it was merely piece
of cut glass of no more value than any OF the
carafes or decanters. When told that the ball

and that it would be to impossible to duplicate
it at any price, his amazement was unbounded'
and ne appeared extremely grave.

it was not one of the family or the guests OF the
house. As to the servants, they all were honest
and trustworthy-I had Mrs. Farlands word for

Why Metals Rust.

Gold does not tamish like other metal
because tits not acted upon by oxygen
or water. It is the moisture in the at.
mosphere which causes other metals to
tarnish, owing to their oxidation. Wa.

gen, and It is the oxygen, OF course,
In the moist air combining with the
surface Of the metals that.covers them
with tarnish. Platinum, like gold, re-.
sists the influence Of oxygen and mois-
ture and when pure neither rusts nor
furnishes Aluminium also does not
rust, neither hot nor cold water having
any action upon It The sulphureted
hydrogen OF the atmosphere, which 90
readily furnishes silver, has no effect
upon aluminium, which under ordinary
circumstances preserves'its appearance
as perfectly as gold does. Silver tar.
nishes on exposure to the air, the agent
producing this effect being the sulphur.

How to Spoil Umbrellas.

'Tn most cases umbrellas are not
fairly worn out; they are ruined
through carelessness Of their owners"
said an umbrella and cane man.
when I see man walking with an
umbrella tightly grasped in his hot
hand smile to myself, because know
that very soon that man will be want
ing new umbrella. There is no surer
way Of making an umbrella wear out
quickly than this habit Of carrying It
about by its middle. Again, after be-
ing out in the rain you should turn
your umbrella upside down and let
the water drain off as it stands with
the handle downward. BY doing this
you prevent the water from getting in
at the framework and thereby protect
the ribs from rusting. Some men open
their umbrellas before they stand them
up to dry, but this is bad plan, be-
cause the umbrella may stretch when
1t is wet. Another thing, too-never
roll your umbrella up, as to do so cuts
the silk."-Detroit Tribune.

Antiquity of Sugar.

The first mention of sugar seems to
have been made by Pliny more than
1880 years ago, who traces 1t to Ara
bia and gives the preference to indian
sugar, which he speaks of as "honey
found in canes" Status in his de-
scription of the saturnalia says that
among the food which the Emperor
Domitian made the people at those
noisy festivals scramble for was a
sweet substance obtained from Ara
bian canes. Other classical writer's Of
about the same period describe It also
as kind Of honey found in canes and
not made by bees. Strabo adds that in
q solid state It resembles salt. The
sugar cane was introduced into Sicily
In ll48 and soon afterward into Spain.
Thence sixty years later It was taken
to the West indies, and at the end Of
the eighteenth century jamaica alone
produced quite 1900 tons a year.

Rice as a soporinc,

IF people would eat plenty of rice
they would not need drugs to make

clerk, pausing for a moment in put
ting up sleeping potion for a wo-
man. There is much said about rice
as Strengthening food, but few Amer
leans know that it has soporific pow
ers. If properly cooked it has. Rice
should be washed many times until the
water no longer appears milky. It
should then be soaked a few hours,
salted and boiled rapidly about thirty
minutes When cooked in this way it
can be eaten each day with relish, and
the person who eats it sleeps well and
dreams not at ALL"

WOMEN MUST KNEELToM MEN


70 the Law Among Many Tribes Of
East Central Africa.
Men in Africa, and especially III east
central Africa, believe that their WON
en- are their interiors. and many cen
turtles ago, says the Chicago Trib-
une, they made law that has worn it.
self into custom that women must
acknowledge this by always kneeling
when they meet man.
Duff Macdonald, who spent many
years as missionary in that country,
says that African women hold q most
degraded position and are looked upon
pretty generally as beasts of burden
capable Of doing all the hard work.
When a woman meets any man, be it
her husband or stranger, at home or
on the road she is expected to ''taidi-
wala"-that is, to kneel and clap Ter
hands to the lord of creation as he
passes. Although a woman may have
slaves of her own, she observes this
custom whenever she meets them on
the highway.
Macdonald adds: "Whenever we saw
intention of kneeling before us. though
she carried a hundredweight on her
head, knowing that she would have to
get up with it, we shouted, You are
losing your way; this is the path and
she took 1t, glad that she might dis
pense with this CUSTOM"
Certain it is that if the African wo-
man kneels before a stranger or slave
she prostrates herself most humbly be-
fore her husband, her lord and master.
He is her father, and she is his child;
he commands, and she obeys; he may
1nfltct punishment, and she accepts it.
The title Of father" is given to all
old people. A man Of thirty will say.
II am only q child; ask the old man."
The woman must submit, of course
She is her husbands chattel; he has
bought her for two skins of bucks,
and this is fair price for one wife.
He often gets them in payment for
debts.
If girl is not first wife she counts
for little, as these Africans usually
have one chief wife and three or four
minor wives. A man who is married a
few years is expected to have Junior
wives. The chief wife has the super
fntendence Of the others and looks
after the household. The punishment
she inficts for laziness is to Danish the
Junior wife from her meals until hun
ger brings her to her senses. If
Junior wife is obstreperous she is put
in slave stock.
The authority Of a chief wife is not
matter to jest with. If junior wife
gets unruly the whipping post is made
use of. This does not annoy her lord,
for African men have little sentiment
for their wives and feel none for their
Junior wives. They are his chattels,
having the same value as his cattle,
perhaps less. When a man is pressed
for money he usually sells his wife and
not his cattle. He expects them to cul-
tvate the soil and cut down the trees,
and when he finds time or has the in
clination he helps them.

Death of Mrs. A. F. Allen.


Gin the midst Of life we are in death"
was never more lullv illustrated than in
the demise OF Mrs. Jessie Martha Allen
whom the Supreme Beng saw fit to call
home ON Monday morning at o'clock.
While her death had been expected, the
stern reality that the slender lifeline had
been severed brought sorrow and an
gulsh to the heart OF every resident of
Hamilton township. That life whose
future appeared SO bright and promising
shond be the one to be recalled caused
a feeling of personal loss to the commun-
ity in general and the young husband
has the sincerest sympathy Of everyone
in his terrible bereavement.
The death of aMrs. Allen is rendered
more pathetic from the fact that she had
been married but three months. She
was the second eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. R.. A. Thacker and was 10
years of age, having been born March l.,
1886.
The funeral was held on Tuesday af-
ternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Metho.
dist church, Rev. D. Mcmillan, of the
Presbyterian denomination, officiating.
The large edifice was completely filled
with sorrowing friends and relatives and
the floral offerings, numerous and costly,
were in themselves silent testimonials
OF the worth and esteem in which tle de-
parted was held during her lifetime.-In-
dependent.

The
subjects
Roosevelt
will
discuss

Staff Correspondence to The Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. lin his
next message to congress President
Roosevelt will deal with railway
rate legislation more extensively
than in previous communications.
He has already put much of that
part of the message into shape.
The question, the president now
believes, has simmered down to
problems of constitutionality and
desirability of the various expedi-
ents proposed. He will discuss the
question whether it would be better
to create a court of interstate COM
merce, or to enlarge the powers of
an interstate commerce commits
sion.
1t is believed he will make a
strong plea in favor of vesting more
power in the commission.
Next to railway rate legislation
the subjects most in the presidents
mind in preparing his message are
federal control of insurance and
federal regulation of political cam
paign contributions. Strangely
enough, in both there are serious
questions of constitutionality Com
missioner Garfield of the bureau of
corporations has taken his stand
sQuarely on the proposition that it
would be unconstitutional, in view
Of the supreme court decisions, to
attempt to regulate insurance.
On the subject of federal control
o. presidential campaign funds,
congress is confronted with the
proposition that the election ma
chinery, even for a presidential
election, is entirely controlled by
state authorities. A president is
not in theory elected by the peo-
pie: he Is elected by electors
chosen to represent the various
states. The federal government
