4 GREAT DETECTIVE
&sme Of the Tricks Played by NO%ea
Enuiist Sleutk.

En9isn SteutN'
1t was in 1881 that Thomas
Gregory joined The London metro
politan force. In his time Gregory
arrested many notorious criminals.
He captured a gang who were
known as the Cabinet Of Crime"
and under whose guidance ali big
robberics we're carried ant. Gregory
| was gifted with faculty for dis
guising, and he appeared in many
characters. In order to enter and
raid club in Soho he was given the
task of gaining admittance to the
premises. AT an appointed time,
dressed ASA poor old man, he was
lurcbing up against the door laden
with basket of grounded. The
doorkeeper, a pugilist, knocked him
over into the road, but this gave the
waiting Offices an opportunity for
getting inside and effecting their
mission
One summer for weeks he might
have been seen daily outside the
general postoffice as boot cleaner,
and eventually he brought of the
arrest of a gang.
Obtaining the position of valet to
wealthy coiner, who kept a man
zion in Westminster, Gregory, with
other officers, contrived big coup,
four confederates being sent to
penal servitude.
An amusing story is told of one
Of Gregory's adventures. He was
keeping observation on the corner
of Dean street west and had adopt
ed the plan Of selling matches. He
had only two boxes, a large and
small one. A Scotchman went up
to him and offered hslfpenny for
the large box, at the same time
handing the officer penny. Gregory
said he could not let himAhave that
one, but would try to get one for
him Just at this moment the man
he was watching passed by, and
Gregory went after him and located
his residence. Some forty minutes
afterward Gregory returned to the
corner of Dean street and found the
Scotchman awaiting him for his
matches and change.
A Bond street capture is quite
dramatic little stsry. One morning
Gregory noticed in Bond street a
landau stop outside jewelers. shop.
A woman dressed in the height of
fashion ahghted and looked into the
window. She somehow attracted
the detectives attention and was
seen to drop her parasol through
the grating under the window.
The shop assistants noticed her
trouble and came out to help her
recover the article. No sooner had
they left the shop than two
''swells" entered and proceeded to
fill their pockets with jewelry. The
detective got assistance and arrest
ed all three, who turned out to be
old convicts. Pearson's Weekly.

Gloves of Mary, Queen Of Scots.

The famous gloves of Mary,
queen Of Scots, are still in existence.
She gave them on the day Of her
execution to a gentleman Of the
Dayrell family, and they still re-
main in the possession of his de-
scendants. They are described as
being of cool, buff colored leather,
embroidered on Che gauntlet in silk
and silver wire. Pink roses, trees
in two shades of green and bird in
flight appear upon these wonderful
gloves, and the bright red lining OF
the cuffs is still as fresh and gay as
when the unhappy queen first don
ned them. Silk and leather gloves
were not che only kind with which
the Scottish queen was familiar, for
the poor lady had reason to remem-

chamber to demand her abdication

Tiers Arc Several varistiss OF rh,.
Disease of the Evaa.

Disease OF the Eyes.
ccajunctivitis, which is the most
common form Of sore eyes. is an in.
fiammation of the thin, transparent
membrane covering the front sur
face of the eyeball and lining tba
lids.
Oculists distinguish several varie-
ties Of this disease, the symptoms of
which vary greatly in intensity.
There may be merely bloodshot
condition, due to the enlargement
of the blood vessels to such size
that they become visible, accompa-
MED by an itching and feeling as
if there were dust in the ewes, with
perhaps a little sticky discharge
which CLUES the lids together in the
morning. The eyes are also sensi-
tive to light and sometimes ache
slightly.
In more severe cases the dis
charge is profuse and yellowish, Ill
GERS may form, and the inflamme-
ton may even extend to the deeper
structures of the eye and so destroy
sight
One of the chronic forms Of con
junctiyitis is that known as tracho
ma, or granular lids. This is very
difficult to cure and often results in
permanent injury to vision. II
Is also quite contagious. Indeed, all
forms OF sore eye are probably con
tagious, but some are more SO than
others, and for this reason the most
Scrupulous precautions should be
taken to protect the other members
of the family when one has any
form of eonjunctiyitis. The suffer
er should sleep in a bed by himself
and should have his own towels,
wash rag or sponge and handker-
chiefs, and these when soiled
should be thoroughly boiled in
separate vessel and should. not &C
lHIo the common wash.
The treatment Of simple con-
junctiyitis consists chiefly in clean
illness. The eyes should be bathed
often in lukewarm water containing
pinch Of salt or in a solution Of
boric acid, and some of the solution
should be dropped into the eye, SO
as to wash away the discharge.
The eyes should be shielded from
the light by smoked glasses or Cog
giles.
Little squares of cloth, cut largo
enough to cover the eye, may be
placed on a cake of ice. When cold
they can be laid on the eye and
changed as soon as they become
warm. This application is often
very grateful to the sufferer and is
useful in subduing the infamma-
ton.
If the trouble does not quickly
subside under this simple treat
ment physician should be consult
ed, fox the eye is very delicate or
gan, and irremediable mischief may
result if inflammation is allowed to
run ON.
A very serious form Of sore eye
Ia sometimes seen in newborn BE-
bies. This should never be triGed
with, but the doctors attention
should be called to it at once.
Children who suffer from repeat
ed attacks of conjunctivitis should
be taken to the ocuhst for an ex-
animation Of the eyes, for it may be
that they need glasses. - Youths
