Oily and His Uncle Discuss the Sher'
lock Holmes Method of Detection.

Pray tell me, dear Uncle" said little
Oily, a%nxiously, what is the meaning
OF the word deduction as applied 10
the practice of detection?"
"Ah, my dear nephew" observed
Uncle George, carefully filling his pipe
with a choice brand of tobacco, in
which hasheesh was generously pre-
dominant. you have CHANGED upon a
most p~erplexing query, and nj that 1t
will afford me keen delight in explain
ing to you. Primarily deduction is one
OF the simplest processes, but in lltera-
ture it takes on a quantity and even
quality that lends to it an abstruse and
fascinating quality. totally at variance
with its true worth. If you will con-
suit your small genealogical compen-
dium compiled by Mr.. Webster, you
Will observe that the word is but a
synonym for inference. In other words,
when a detective has a spell of deduc-
ton, he merely infers that something
is. has or should have happened. 1t
does not at all follow that anything

has ever been thought of, so you will
observe the extreme value of the
science of deduction. Possibly the
greatest victim of the disease was our
fascinating entertainer, Mr.. Sherlock
Holmes. His was a master mind ca
pable of determining guilt upon the
merest fragment of evidence. One may
imagine him proceeding as follows:
Kindly hand me the files of Dope's
Almanac, Watson. All, yes. | thought

Flabbergast has just shot his mother
in-law with intent to kill and a breech-
loading rifle manufactured in 1879 at
Berne, Switzerland. The motive was

take place Thursday and the family

ustrade and tell him to look for a
small man wearing eye glasses, with a
wart on the back of his neck and a
Stammer in one eye. He has also a
pronounced stutter in his walk. Pass

THAT is the Holmes method, my
dear nephew. In polite fiction it is all
the money. but in practice it works out
but poorly. In fact, | may say that
it fails generally owing to something
inherently wrong in the structure. If
we followed the Holmes method, as ex-
emplified in literary procedure we
might expect to find a brutal looking
man rushing into the nearest station
house, throwing down a hatful of table
silver, bursting into tears and sobbing
out on the desk rail;

that would be all, saving the formal

luction, billy, and it is an ideal mat
ter for the police. Unfortunately, how
ever it is only in modern literature

Holmes. The police method in daily
use in our large cities, is just as eff

Canton was the sudden death of DR.. G..
K. Harrington of Jackson, who had
gone to Canton to meet the remains OF
his friend George w. Carlisle, who died

Thigh Bones in Whales.

Snakes are not the only animals
which exhibit the possession of rudi-
mentary hind limbs. In the whale
tribe there is no evidence externally
of hind limbs. The fore limbs in them
are converted into the clippers" or
swimming paddles. Yet. when the
skeleton is examined, traces of a
haunch and attached r~udimentary
thigh bones are found. There is de-
veloped in certain kinds of whales a
bony piece representing the haunch;
the thigh bone is distinct, but there is
a mere rudiment attached to it, repre-
senuing the shin bone or tibia Of other
animals.

We heal so much about fancy cook
ing" 1t is nothing more than old
recipes served in new dresses. A pref
tily shaped mold will give a pleasing
touch to a pudding; a little garnish will
add to the appearance of the simplest
dish and render it much more appetis-
ing. Pulled paste is good pie crust
rolled and folded and rolled again, kept
ice cold and baked in the desired shape.
One of the most necessary things to
have in any kitchen is the tin measur-
ing cup. This holds one-half pint. Bet
ter have two of these, one for liquids
and the other for dry materials. The
same cup should be used while follow
ing one recipe. The same is true of a
spoon.
A cupful means level across the top;
q heaping cupful all the cup will hold
without running over. And the same
with a spoon. A half spoonful is meas
ured by filling the spoon lengthwise of
the bowl and then dividing in half
.lengthwise of the bowl and not across.
The reason is because the tip is small
er than the other end Of the spoon.
Attention to these little details is nee
essary in order to attain perfect re-
suits.
A rounding spoonful is found by fill
ing the spoon and rounding of to cor
respond to the under side of the bowl.
A teaspoonful is not equal to half a
tablespoonful. There are three tea
spoonfuls in one tablespoon. Measure
ment and accuracy are the keynotes to
success in cooking.

 "Why, it has even crossed the ocean and returned home without shipwreck. It represents $40 worth of stamps to me, not to mention nine gallons of midnight oiP and $S worth of typewriting.

PIONEER OF ELECTRICITY.

The learned Ampere-whose name is used more frequently every day in these times of electric traction-has been dead for 70 years, and memo rial tablet in his honor is shortly to be unveiled at Lyons. He is prob ably better known to most of his countrymen for his absence of mind than for his scientific achievements.
 He it was (though Newton is of ten said to have done the same thing before) who cut big and little hole in his door for the cat and the kitten to go through. He it was who dipped his biscuit in the inkpot and thought the wine rather bitter; who while eX- amining the markings on a pebble took out his watch to look at the time, but put the pebble in his pocket and threw the watch away. There are scores of such tales about Am pere. He, indeed, thought little of anything but his scientific pursuits, neglecting his health and his fortune and leaving behind a legacy without which half the electrical inventions of to-day would have been impossi- ble. He certainly merits commem- orative tablet.

Size of Heads.

The average adult head has cir cumferance of fully P inches. The average adult hat is fully GA size. The sizes of mems hats are GA and 67s generally. "Sevens' hats are com mon in Aberdeen, and the professors of our colleges generally wear 7B to sizAs.
 Heads wearing hats of the sizes 6ss and smaller, or being less than 21 inches in circumference, can never be powerful. Between 19 and 20 inches in circumference heads are invariably weak, and, according to this authority, mo lady should think of marrying a man with a head less than 20 inches in circumference"
 People with heads under 19 inches are mentally deficient, and with heads under IS inches invariably idiotic." Young Woman.

MAN OF MODERATE MEANS.
One Use for Which He Would Like
 to Have a Little More Money.

q wouldn't want" said the man of moderate means, "to be as rich as Kresus; I wouldn't even want money enough to make me lazy; 1 think great riches, that Is, great, would be bad for most of us, but I really would like to have money enough so that I could wear any sort of clothes l wanted in any sort of weather. As it is, it's like this:
 My stock of clothes is limited. 1 have enough to make me presentable in fair weather but no reserve of such clothes and of course 1 can't af- ford to take chances with what I've got, and so the weather is always an object of concern to me.
 "'Shall I wear my good clothes?' ? I say to myself, as look out at the sky on a lowery morning, or shall 1 put on my old ones?' I don't want to wear my old clothes if it's going to clear off and I can't afford to wear my good clothes if it's going to rain, and being in this state of mind doesn't help me any in my judgment, for man can come closer to guess ing right on things in which he is pot personally interested than he can on things in which he is.
 "So sometimes l start out with my good clothes on days that turn out to be rainy, though oftener l wear nly old clothes on days that turn out bright and sunny, when I might just as wei have worn my good ones, necessity naturally tend ing 10 make one overcautious.
 But still, I can't afford to take a chance.
 q wouldn't want to be as rich as Jon Jakob Aster. nor even as old man Rockefeller, but l would like to have money enough so that l could wear any sort of clothes l wanted to in any sort of weather" New York Press.

Marion Hariand.

The celebrated authoress. so highly esteemed by the women of America. says on pages 103 and 445 of her book, Ewes Daughters; or, Common Sense for Maid, Wife and Mother:
 For the aching back-should it be slow in recovering it's normal strength an Allcock's Plaster is an excellent comforter, combining the sensation of the sustained pressure of a strong warm hand with certain tonic quail ties developed in the wearing. It should be kept over the seat of un- easiness for several days-in ob- stinate cases, for perhaps fortnight"
 For pain in the back wear an All cocks Plaster constantly, renewing as it wears off. This is an invaluable support when the weight on the small of the back becomes heavy and the aching incessant."

The last year for which complcta statistics concerning the meat sup ply of Paris have been published ie 1903. From the reports of that year 1t appears that PCT ,027 cattle, 274,390 calves and 2,047,770 sheep were slaughtered at the city abattoirs and produced 156, $50 kilograms tor 327, ,616,4S5 pounds) of meat, of which 123, 3,712,180 kilograms (259, ,795,57S pounds) were consumed in Paris, and 32,292.650 kilograms exported. Some of the choicest of French beef goes to England, where the fillets and other, prime cuts are in demand for clubs, hotels, and the best class of restau- rants. During the same year there were killed 282, ,50S hogs, which yield ed 27,657,350 kilograms (58,0S0,435 pounds of pork, and 29,370 horseJ. which furnished 7,305,650 Kilograms Cor 15,341, ,S65 pounds) of meat, all of which was consumed in Paris.

AS A LAST EXTREME.

Once a number of legal lights in Washington were gathered in the smoking room of a lawyers club, when the talk turned to a discussion of the veracity of lawyers. "The average man," remarked one disciple of Blackstone, "seems only too ready to assume we are all liars-a very unjust position, it seems to me. Do we not sometime tell the truth ~ he asked of his neighbor, a well-known criminal lawyer.
 Certainly" promptly responded the latter. "We will do anything sometimes to win a case"
