To the German analyst hair is pack
ed with information. The approximate
age and physical condition AN be con

hair.
The hair of every animal has certain
distinguishing characteristics. 1t is
not to be mistaken by a competent in

ample the COW, have three types of
hair. These will be known by their
structure. Under a proper m~icroscop-

There q Il case in which a dagger
found on the prisoner had a few short
hairs caught entangled in n nick of
the blade. He explained this by say
ing that he had used the dagger to kill
n rabbit that he had found trapped in
a hedge. The authorities reported to
the police, after an examination of the
dagger, that the hairs were not of hu-
man origin, but they also added they
were not rabbit hairs: they were
squirrel hairs.
The police were extremely puzzled
until they finally discovered that on
the night of the homicide the prisoner
had Worn a great coat trimmed with
squirrel fur. He had, in fact, careful
ly washed the knife after the assassi-
nation and thereby removed every evi-

BREAD UPON THE WATERS.
An Ancient Legend That Every One
Should Know by Heart.

An Ancient Legend That Every One
Should Know by Heart.
There is an ancient legend of a mar
who faced the great day of final reclS-
oning. He had lived as well perhaps
as most Of us while here below. At
last he stood before the Judge of all
the earth. His record was unfolded.
The face of the Judge seemed TO him
to grow clouded as he traced its story.
The record was pushed aside. The
eyes OF the Judge were lifted until
they rested upon the man. The lips
were parted as it the sentence was
about to fall.
Suddenly from every quarter there
gathered n shining host of forms which
pressed about the Judgment seat. They
appeared to be in conference with the
Judge. 1t looked as though with eager
faces they were urging certain claims.
Then they vanished from sight as mys-
teriously Is they anne The Judge
smiled, turned to a messenger clad in
radiant robes of office and babe him
conduct the man whose case he had
just considered into the realms of the
blessed.
AS they moved away the man said to
his guide, ''Tell me, who We're those
who just now stood in numbers about
the Judge and held converse with
him."
Those replied the conductor, Were
friends who saved you. They were the
deeds of kindness and of unsellish
service you scattered far and wide
while you lived on earth" Detroit

GREAT MARKETS OF PARIS.
Buyers In the "Hailes' May Not Garry
Parcels of Any Kind.

Ihere are some queer customs and
regulations in the "halles.'' the great
Paris central markets. No buyer is al
lowed to enter or leave the markets
carrying n parcel, however small it
may be. To carry parcels is the priv
ilege of the porters of these markets.
Quaint figures are they in baggy vel
veteen trousers, blue striped jerseys
and big brimmed, round leather hats.
They alone can be employed to CON
vcy from the market to the street out
side YOU Aerchandise, whether it be
half a beef or only a good fat hen.
Madame has to help in her purchases
market women known as the keepers.
These women sit at the entrance to
the main division of the markets and
for Il small fee watch over all pur-
chases brought to them. Many of
these "Salesladies" are wealthy. A
portly dame, a small seller, wears a
fine pair of diamonds in her ears and
a sparkling solitaire on her ring finger.
Another character at the markets is
the cutter" When n sheep is brought
to him by the buyer for half a dozen
Paris housekeepers he cuts the ami
NAL into six portions and divides it
among them. The purchasers draw
lots for the best pieces and pay ac-
cording to value MISUNDERSTANDING.

Taylor once compared a %disgruntled

she said one day:

He WAS ONLY A NEWsBoY.
But He Had a Motto That Pointed to
the Road to Success.

A newsboy stood ON d blustery night
with a pile Of newspapers at his feet
watching for customers at a subway
entrance in New York. In a b%antering
way as a gentleman hurried by he said
to the little newsboy, you can't sell
all those papers tonight The lad
looked up with a smile and said, q
can try"
No bread line or bundle day for this
sturdy American lad or for the fine,
wholesome man he is bound to be as
he grows up.
Il can try!" Good for the newsboy
who said it: a motto for the girl at
school porting over her lessons, for the
mechanic toiIing i'm the shop, the mer-
chant busy in the counting room, the
banker in his Office, the professional
man at his desk, the preacher in his
study, the architect with his drawings
and the astronomer at the telescope.
The world has been built by those
who can and who do try. They put to
shame the idler, the sluggard, the
drone, the complaining and the ne'er-
do-wells forever thrusting themselves
forward to beg for special considera-
ton.
The world would be better in every
way If 1t had a revival OF the good old
fashioned spirit of self dependence that
