Transmission Of Warts.

Recent experiments show that tbs
popular belief that warts are COM
municable is warranted" says a
writer. "Inoculation Of healthy tissue
with blood obtained from a wart will
cause the growth of similar ex.
crescence. 1t is thought that these
growths contain an ultramicroscopic
germ to which is due the transmission
from one person to another. At all
events, persons who have warts should
take measures to have them removed
at once"

A sac, 900 TREASURY ROBBERY.
Clever Work of Detective Revealed
the Thief.

The robbery of the sub-treasury In
Chicago recalls the fact that the
treasury department in Washington
was the victim of a $4,000 theft about
80 years ago. At first, although no
reasonable explanation of how the
thing could have been done by an out
slider could be given, it was assumed
that 1t was the work of some one un-
connected with the Office in which the
robbery occurred. 1t was not long,
however, before a clever detective
became acquainted with the fact that
one of the clerks who might have had
access to the bundle of bills was &C.
quainted with a professional gambler
of shady antecedents. That discovery
solved the problem. A little patient
watching resulted in catching the
gambler with the stolen notes, and
the rest was easy. The clerk was ar
rested, and, while in confinement, was
given to understand that he was be-
trayed, whereupon he confessed the
robbery, which was accomplished by
showing the package of notes, all Of
large denominations, into a position
where they could be ''snaked up"
with a cane provided with hook.

Mint with Peas.

The Virginia housewife seldom di

flavor so different from those eaten
elsewhere.
