The Moral of the Story,

Professor John Spencer Bassett, nu.
thor of "a Life Of Andrew Jackson"
In n of his lectures at Smith college,
repeated a we'll known story in regard
to Stephen A. Douglas, closing with a
moral which aroused peculiar interest.
Douglas, as the narrative runs, was
once sitting in a profound sleep in the
corridor of the capitol when Adeline
Cults, a Washington belle, passed by.
She did not know the sleeper. but was
struck with compassion on seeing such
q splendidly intellectual face under
such conditions, and, STOPPING down,
laid her handkerchief over 1t to pro
tect 1t from the flies. Douglas on
awakening found the handkerchief,
sought the owner and eventually mar.
ried her. There was a pause, aud
then the professor added young la
dies, the moral of this story is, have
your pocket handkerchief marked"

TRACING A CRIMINAL.
The Most Expert VIII Leave Some
Mark That Betrays Him.

Successful criminals nearly always
specialize In their work, and it is ow-
ing to this fact that detectives in many
cases are able to track them down,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. Not
only do criminals make a practice of
committing II particular style OF
crime, but the methods professional
crooks employ are practically always
on the same plan.
One burglar, for instance, will al
ways enter through the fanlight over
the front door OF a shop. another by
breaking in ut the back. Most burglars,
too, will continually repeat a burglary
In the same neighborhood.

which he could be traced, and police
officials have been nble to produce him
in court within q few days, to the utter
astonishment of all concerned.
It does not matter how subtle or
careful! a criminal may be, he always
leaves some betraying sign behind fol

THAT LIVE ON PESTS.
Tiny Scorpion-liks Crabs a Deadly Foe
to Housetiies.

Iluy 0corPt0n-itkO Grabs a Deadly roe
to Housetiies.
TO the naturalist or to any one ac-
customed to observe nature closely the
fact is apparent that the problems Of
existence are proportionately the same
in every form or stratum of life. Even
the common llousefy, which seemingly
has nothing else TIC do but to crawl
lazily over whatever Is left uncovered
and then go happily on its way, doing
its best to bring about an utilization
between the clean and the unclean. oc-
c~asionally meets it's Nemesis in the
form of a tiny crablike creature which
attaches itself to the ay's legs.
These little creatures are known to
the scientists as pseudo scorpions. or
chelifers, says the Popular Science
Monthly. They may sometimes be
found between the leaves of old books
that have stood unused for q long
time and also beneath the bark of trees
and In MOSES.
Although they are called false scor.
pions, they resemble the true scorpion
closely In general structure except for
their minute size. But they have no
poison gland as the true scorpions
have. They attach themselves to other
Insects also. but they seem to be the
special pest of the honsefiies. Scien
lists suppose that they seize the ny's
leg and hold on until the fly dies, either
worried or frightened to death by the
undesirable presence. When the fly is
dead the little creature feeds on the
body.

Once, on reading a magazine article
by an enthusiastic young mountain
climber who diluted upon his thrilling
adventures In scaling Mount Tyndall,
John Muir commented dryly: "He must
have given himself a lot of trouble.
When | climbed Tyndall | ran up and
back before breakfast"
AT a time when trails were few and
hard to find he explored the Sierra,
which, he said, should be called not
the Nevada or Snowy range. but the
Range Of Light. When night came he
selected the lee side of a log, made a
fire and Went to sleep on a bed of pine
needles. IL it was showing he made
a bigger fire and lay closer to his log
shelter.
