Ancient Locks.

Locks were used in the time of the
pharaOhs. At Karnak the visitor Is
shown the sculptured representation of
a lock which is almost exactly like one
kind of lock used in Egypt at the pres
ent day. Homer says that Penelope
used brass key to open her wardrobe.
He adds that it was very crooked and
had an ivory handle. A Greek writer
who lived in the last half Of the twelfth
century explains that such keys were
undoubtedly very ancient, although
still to be seen in Constantinople and
elsewhere Roman locks, like the Egyp-
tan, required partial sliding Of the
key. They were. however, more intri-
cate.

Darwin and Books.

OF Darwin it is affirmed that he
seemed unaware of the difference In
the value of books and would treat a
Zaehnsdorf binding with the same
scant courtesy that he exercised to-
ward penny pamphlet. Covers ap-
peared to him useless weight and de-
cidedly IN the way, and he often got
rid Of them by ripping them of. Some
times the book was borrowed. It is
said that in the end his friends used
to give him any book which he wished
to borrow, for they knew that, IL 1t
were ever returned, It's usefulness as a
book would be at an end.

Have n Definite Aim.

No life amounts to much until 1t
has programme something definite,
something particular. Nothing else can
take the place Of it. Education cam
not, talent cannot, genius cannot, hard
work cannot. Until there Is a definite
aim the energies will run to waste, the
ability be squandered The faculties
deteriorate when working without a
definite aim.

Because of the several fatal accidents

son, and the largely increased number of
canoes in use. Maj. Sylvester, superintendent
OF police, regards it as desirable to estab-
lsh a life patrol between the Highway and
Chain bridges. Under the laws the police
have but little authority upon the river
1t is the opinion of the chief of police that
the law or regulations should require &C.
cupants of all kinds of boats upon the
river to carry lights after dark. This Ques-
ton does not arise from the Sunday drown
ings, however. but is was because of the
absence Of such lights upon small boats
some time ago that lives were lost 1t
lights be required, but the proper authori-
ties have never taken any action upon the
recommendation.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
COMMISSIONERS CONSIDER
CHARGES AGAINST POLICEMAN.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. June Is, 1906
meeting of the board OF police commits
sioners was called last night by Mayor PAN
to investigate the charges formulated
against Lieut.. James Smith of the police
force The charge against Lieut.. Smith
which had been made by Rosie Moore dur
ing the investigation of the affairs IN the
police department several weeks ago was
to the effect that he had received money
from her in order that she might be exempt
from arrest in the conduct of her business.
During the former investigation II is al
legged that she testified that she had paid
Lieut.. Smith as much as $50 month for a
considerable period.
Rosie Moore was called before the COM
missioners last night. She was asked by
Mayor Paff II she could state the exact sum
of money which she had given the lieuten-
ant but was unable to do SO. She was then
asked IL 1t amounted to as much as $50 or
$40 but finally answered that 1t might have
been as much as $50 altogether. Her at
tention was then called to the discrepancy
in her testimony at the former investiga-
ton when 1t is alleged she testified that she
paid as much as $40 a month for several
months.
Capt T. B. Amiss of the Washington
police force was then put upon the STANG.
He testified that he had known Rosie Moore
for a number of years and that he would
not believe her even II under oath. De-
tective Sergeants Carl Fathers and Ed.
Horne, also of the Washington police de-
partment. testified to a similar effect.
Lieutenant Smith called several witnesses
who testified that Rosie Moore had on sew
eral occasions offered him money, but that
in each instance he had refused to take
a cent of 1t. Lieutenant Smith emphati-
caly denied that he had ever received any
money from the woman. but stated that
she had frequently offered him money.
