Marvellous DeIicacy of Hearing Pos
sessed by Miner James.

"Milner James was the most artistic
safe-breaker In the business" said
Lecocq the detective. HE is dead
now. He opened in his time over 700
safes without tools or gunpowder
solely by working out the combination
with his delicate and patient fingers.
1T took me year. he once said,
to learn the trick of picking combina-
tons. I studied all the locks there
were and had three safes of different
makes to practice on. The ear is the
most important factor in my method
and it must be held tight against the
safe door on line with the tumblers.
When the knob of the lock is turned
slowly and one of the tumblers reach
es the notch corresponding to the first
number of the combination the tum-
bier will fall with little click. Care
must be taken not to displace this
tumbler. You keep on trying the knob
back and forth gently till each of the
tumblers drops. Then the door opens.
Hardly one man in thousand has an
ear delicate enough for this work and
to be success at it you've got to give
MP tobacco and alcohol"

WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS.
They Are of the Greatest Benefit to
Growing Flowers.

Prof. Darwin said that If 1t had not
been for insects we should never have
had any more imposing or attractive
flowers than those of the elm, the hop
and the nettle. Lord Avebury COM
pares the work of the insect to that Of
the florist. He considers that just as
the florist has by selection produced
the elegant blossoms of the garden, so
the insects, by selecting the largest
and brightest blossoms for fertiliza-
tion, have produced the gay flowers of
the field. Prof. Plateau, of Client, has
carried out series of remarkable ex-
periments on the ways of insects visit
ing flowers. He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color. and in the connection he is at
variance with certain British natural.
lists. Whatever may be the attraction
in flowers to insects-as yet, it ap-
pears undefned-it is certain that the
latter visit freely all blossoms alike,
making no distinction between the
large, bright-oolored ones and the less
conspicuous blossoms like those of the
currants, the lime, the planetree, the
nettle and the willow.

MUTUAL HAPPINESS
IN cHILDREN'S LOVE.

For eight years Rhoda Holmes Mich.
OILS has never ceased to struggle. She
has earned fair competence and has
led a retired life, but gradually she is
learning to be happy again-happy in
the love of her children, which knows
no distrust or jealousy.
The other day the curtain fell on
the last act in this strange marital
drama.
Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nichols received
a decree of absolute divorce, carrying
with it the legal custody Of the chill
dren, and authority to resume her
maiden name.
Incompatibility was the cause given,
but the divorce papers are sealed.
Mrs. Rhoda Holmes is still young
and much of life is yet before her.
But it Is doubtful If she will ever again
regard love as anything but mirage
of the youthful brain, an unsubstantial
dream, the flesh tints laid upon the
bones of an awful skeleton.
But the experience Of Mrs. Holmes
is not singular. So long as mans ma
ture remains unchanged, just so long
will he demand the leadership of the
family, both mentally and physically.
The spiritual crown he accords to
woman without question.

DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Morrison because they actually make
good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have a very decided action upon the
nerves and they have cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and st. Vitus

treatment. Their double action, on the
blood and on the nerves, makes them an
ideal tonic.

Seeing this, the children were silent
and miserable.
But the last straw came when Mrs.

Letter." received encomiums on both
sides Of the Atlantic. The husband
had never done anything like it.
After year of trouble the couple
separated, the husband going away
and the wife remaining to work out
her own career.
Thereafter her existence was peace
full, if lonely. There was but one easel
now, and one painter There was but
one ambition, and that was the sup
port and education of her children.
Art for arts sake was no more. Love
for loves sake was farce.
The woman continued to work
bravely. She could have gone to
France or Italy, where her young artist
days were passed, but she preferred to
remain in this country and educate her
children. She took a studio at East
Gloucester. Mass.

had outdone the husband in his chosen

Miss Holmes was not only painter,

She was successful there, and event

not dream Of the truth of these things.
How could the art from which love
sprang be its murderer? Neither did
they reck of the future when they
became engaged. Was there not the
magic of love in their brushes? Were
they not bohemians enough to face
the future with light hearts? Could
they not paint the fearful eyes away
from the face of sorrow, and put the
cap and bells on the picture of pow
erty? On these fundamental beliefs
they were married.
Nichols, like his wife, was a fine
painter. They lived an ideal life in
their studio. They painted together,
talked together, planned together, liv-

FIND HAPPINESS
IN COOPERATION.

Up to this time not a cloud had
marred their domestic sky. They were
happy, with the careless happiness of
children. Their art was joy-a play
to them.
And so they played together until
the paintings were finished. In order
to insure separate consideration they
were packed and shipped in separate
boxes to the Paris Salon, where sit
the worlds arbiters in art.
In due time Mrs. Rhoda Holmes and
Mr.. Burr Nichols received their re-
spective verdicts.
For Mrs. Rhoda Holmes it was:
Painting accepted and given honor
able mention"
For Mr.. Burr Nichols it was: Paint
ing judged unworthy; hereby re-
turned"
Here fell the shadow, II we are to
believe those who sympathiZe with
Mrs. Nichols. Here entered the note
of discord. Here was the parting Of
the ways whereby two souls became
estranged, through the life of earth
and the eternity of heaven.
Although the shadow was in his
heart, the husband spoke bravely Of
the future. Let us try it again, he
said; I'VE may both win next time"
And so they went to work for a Sec
ond trial. Side by side they painted
as before. But now there stood a
ghost between them-the impalpable
shadow of jealousy and discomfort
The wife, perceiving this, grieved
much over it. The husband, imagining
things that were not, grew gloomy
and taciturn.
