Not even the most careful expert
has as yet been able to re-photograph
that picture of the murderer on the
retina of the victim eyes, which
has betrayed the criminal in more
than one novel. But Dr.. Jeserich
was able to capture one criminal who

address as an extra charge In loading
his old-fashioned revolver. The pa

How To KIN Surplus Cats.

How to destroy surplus kittens or
puppies in a painless way, without
calling into use the old-fashioned
method of bag and pail of water,

London Institute for Lost and Starv-
ing Cats. The directions are as fol-

Take a dish cover, place it where

the wadding under the cover, hold
the cover down for three or four
minutes and then leave undisturbed

THE TRAMP PRINTER.
Passing of a Once Familiar Figure in
Newspaper Offices.

-NSNSpupcE OlhSSSs
What has become of the old time
printer, once so familiar before the
Invasion of the linotype machine?
He used to show up with the first
frost. You found him in the Office
early some October morning, toasting
his back before the stove. His first
request was, Boss, may l look over
the exchanges?" and he was soon
paving around among the papers on
the editorial table. By o'clock he
had levied sufficient tribute upon the
boys TO get shave and drink, and
after dinner he was picking up bre-
vier in a way to make an expert en-
gious. All winter he worked as stead
lily as a clock. Many were the stories
lie told around the back room fire on
Sunday afternoon. Though with
out much education, his very wander
ings had made hill an entertaining
parsonage.
lii the spring, however, when the
tiny bees buzzed lazily against the
sunny window pane and the lilac
bushes in the courthouse yard were
putting forth their fragrant lavender
plumes and the night air was pungent
with the odor of burning brush piles
and sweet with earthly exhaltions Of
upturned sod and everywhere could
be heard the laughter of children
playing in the twilight, change
came over the spirit of the tramp
printer. He felt the cali of the road,
with its luxurious days of animal de-
light under the clear skies of spring,
with its privilege of work when you
wish and idle when yJu will. He
wished TO see the boys again, to visit
the fifty Offices where he had friends
SO one Monday morning in mid-April
when you entered the office you
missed his form at the case, the
months familiar figure with one gall
lus down and short oil stained cob
pipe protruding from under slightly
luminous nose. Yet with all of his
yagrant impulses YOU felt kindly to-
ward your nomadic brother In the
art preservative and were ever ready
for him to come again
Before 1t is too late some gifted
pen should tell the story of the tramp
printer. 1t is one teeming with ro-
nance and the very best possibilities
of good literary effort. True, to-day
almost every Office has the remorse-
less, speedy and ever ailing machine.
but no one can wax either enthusias-
tic or reminiscent over a mere ma

A recent exhibition in Vienna, in

his time to legal and criminal mat

Of that city by its demonstration Of
The value of photography in. the de-
lection of crime Every large city
cow has its rogues gallery. and
spreads broadcast photographs of
suspects. The photographing of the
scenes OF crime for the enlighten-
ment of jurieS is still another devel-
opment with which the general pub
tic is familiar. But few people real
Ize that In many other ways photog-
raphy has become of enormous value
In the actual detection OF criminals.
To illustrate this remarkable devel-
opment was the prime object of Dr.
Jeserlch's display of the eighty en-
larged prints which constitute his
exhibition.
The sun sees everything, however
fallible the human eve. Even when
reinforced by, the microscope or the
magnifying glass, the ordinary OBJ
server is apt to overlook little things
In themselves of great Importance.
Moreover, detective, or an expert
employed by the police, might behold
through a magnifler something which
he would regard as evidence, but
about which Jury might fail to take
his word. BY means of the enlarge
ment of negative, proof of crime
may often be shown to jury which
would otherwise be practically un-
available. This is DR.. Jeserich's con-
tention, and his demonstration of it
impressed observers as convincing.
For instance, he exhibited two let
ters which had originally contained
money, and had been received with
out their enclosures. To the eye,
they had not been tampered with in
any way, and there was nothing to
show whether they had been sent
without the money or whether they
had been opened en- route. An en-
larged photograph solved the mys-
terry. 1t showed plainly that one of

A Government Lottery.

Why does the United States Gov
ernment, which enforces with great
rigidity the laws against lotteries,
even to excluding foreign newspapers
which contain advertisements Of
them, conduct lotteries itself in the
disposal of public lands, as witness
the recent distribution of the Rose
bud farms? 1t would be easy to de-
wise a different and indeed a more
equitable system of allotment. Per.
haps some form of auction would be
fairest and best OF all. Anyway, is
the appeal to chance in any respect
more moral when administered by
the United States than when propos-
ed by the Spanish monarchy or the
municipality Of Paris?-New York

r. G. Dun G. Co.'s Weekly Review
Of Trade says:
Decided improvement is noted N
most trade reports this week, espec-
tally in respect to distributive de-
partments. Orders have come 10
manufacturers more freely. in many
cases accompanied by requests for
immediate or very carly delivery.
Evidences on increased confidence
are numerous and prices are more
firmly held where concessions have
been offered recently without at
tracing buyers Many mills have
resumed after months of idleness,
sufficient orders having accumulated
to assure active capacity during the
balance of the year, and there Is a
general belief that contracts will be
placed freely during the next two
months.
Recent moderate reductions in
prices of pig iron and the large
amount OF steel business about to be
placed have resulted in increased in
quires for material Purchases are
no longer confined to immediate
needs. deliveries during the first

Consumption And The Telephone.

The panic recently created on the
subject of the assumed danger lurk-
ing in the transmitrer of the tele-
phone is not precisely new. 1t is
but the development of fear which
has caused m!sgivings for some years,
as is pointed out by the British
Medical Journal. On the supposition,
It says, that various germs of dis
ease probably collect in the receiver
and transmitter of the instrument,
at any rate in public telephone sta
tlons, some medical alarmists have
thrown out suggestions that antisep-
tics, both in dry ctate and In sclu-
tion, should be applied for the safe
ty OF the telephone user. The recent
dictum goes one step further, in
asmuch as 1t is now an established
fact that tubcrcle baccili the casual
micro-organisms of consumption,
have been found-alive and in robust
