Here and there, high up amonjr sudden coves 1 and down below in little valleys, luxur- . iant crops of grain and grasses grow. Tho place is owned by old Nathan liillingsly, a man whose reputation for piety ' ,1.. KAim^orv linocrkf B|)IC<1U5 Jill Mi'juuii mv nuvw v. the county. Mrs. Billingsly was pale J and pious. She worked so hard in summer, cooking for the hired men, that she ' barely had the strength in winter to enter the revival work of the circuit and do ' herself justicc. To this devoted old couple only one child had been born, a girl who had grown up to be anything but a joy to her parents. They had been married many years when the child was 1 born, and the old man. in an ecstasy of delight, declared that the little thing was a ! sunbeam that had fallen ou to the shady 1 side of his life. Years failed to verify this hopeful assertion. The gill, known all over the neighborhood as .Mean 1 ret, was, ' to her parents, a constant cause of vexa- 1 tion, and sometimes she was the cause of humiliation. She was small and of cx- ! cecdiug lleetness of foot. Her face was , of that peculiar paleness which no exercise tends to redden. Her eyes were as , dark as the interior of a cave. 44 Hettie," said Mrs. Biliingsly one . evening, "where have you been all day?"' ' She took a small tish from her pocket, threw it on tho?lable, pointed to it auil 1 said: 44 Worked all day for that little perch. Lost all my bait, and had to catch this J young sinner with a cricket." " You ought to be ashamed of yourself.'' "Iam. Anybody that couldn't do better than this," again pointing at the fish, 44 ought to feel ashamed. (Jot anything to cat, handy? I am hungrv as a wolf." "Ah, child," sighed Mrs. Billingsly,as she turned to the "cubbard"to take down the dishes containing the dinner which had been kept for the girl, 4" I ( don't know what is to become of you. ' Hettie, do you know that you are sixteen ! years old to-day?'' "This curly mustard makes splendid 1 greens, don't it?" 41 Did you hear what I said to you?" ' "Yessum. I never would know how old I am unless you were to tell me. J Sixteen years old?sixteen. Why, I don't : feel old, mother, and after all I am not ' as old as you are." "Hettie, don't be so foolish." 44Why, mother, is it foolish to tell the truth? If I were to say that I am as old as you are it would be foolish, and at the o.imo it would he untrue." "Hush, child. Here comes your father, j He is mad.1' , The old man entered the room. "Het, where have you been?" I "Fishing." "I'll fish you." He walked out toward an apple tree. The girl dropped the knife and fork. 'Mother, he's going ro whip me. Don't let him. I know I'm mean, but it hurts so when I'm whipped. Please don't let him whip me." The old man, stripping the leaves from an apple trcc3prout, walked in with a deliberation which showed his strength of purpose. "I've fooled with you as long as I am goin' to, you good-fornothin' thing, I'll?" "Hello!" some one callcd at the gate. The old man dropped the switch and went out. Mrs. Billingsly and the girl, secinc that the old man was conducting someone toward the house, went into | the sitting room, where they were presented to young Mr. Wilkins, the newly appointed circuit rider. The young man, during a course of theological study, had growu pale, but his face colored when Hettic, with mischievous frankness, extended her hand. "I am under many obligations to you," said Hettic, still holding the hand of the blushing preacher. The old man glared at the girl. The old lady violently cleared her throat. ' , ? > \f:??

"Brother Billingsly, how is the con- * dition of the church in this neighborhood?" I "Pretty fair." ( "At the last mcetin'," remarked the * old lady, "we had three of as bright J conversions as I ever saw.

The minister uttered an exclamation 1 and ran out into the yard. His horse ! was galloping away. A giggling girl '' drew back behind a corner of the house, j ; She had t#hitched the liorse. The | preacher by climbing fcnces and crossiug j J rugged places, succeeded in catching the , horse, but at least two hours were spent ] in the perplexing exercise. "IIow is this, Brother Billingsly?" "What, Brother Wilkins?" "Why I tied my horse sccurely, but you see he has the bridle over his head. : This is certainly strange. Won't you 1 ride to the house, Brother Billingsly?" "Oh, no, I am used to walking." ^ "Well, I will ride." He mounted the horse. The animal ; lunged forward, kicked up and threw I 1 the young man. 1 Mr. Billingsly caught the horse. Mr. 1 Wilkins said that there was surely some mistake. "Whv, sir, lie never acted 1 11113 UViUK-. . I The old man adjusted the saddle.

' "I was thinking of the sinfulness there i 1 is in this world." "Ves, the world is full of sin; but it j is our duty to radicate it." "Well, let us goto the house." When the preacher had gone to bed, Mr. Billingsly having secured the appletree sprout, called his daughter. ( "Father, please don't whip me. I | ] won't do it any more."

When the services were over, the j d preacher, the old man and the old lady a: engaged in a long conversation. The tl prayer h:id aroused them and they :t talked until a late hour. In the mean- I time the gill slipped away and went to bed. The next day was Sunday. Mr. Wil- tl fix. J.' * . ids bad an appointment to preach in a ttlc church situated a short distance rom Billingsly farm. "When the time arrived, Wilkins sked the girl if he might accompany er. She laughed uproariously. You are the iirst nerson that ever ranted to go with me anywhere," she aid. "It does not, however, give you cause o refuse." "Oh, I'm not going to refuse.

"I want to sec how curious it will make mother look." ".Miss Billingsly, you arc provoking." "So are you. They arc ready. Come IU. Mr. Hillingsly and his wife were surprised to see tlie preacher walking with :heir daughter, lor, having listened to aei^hbors who are never complimentary, :hey thought that Ilattie was the worst :hiUl in the world. The young preacher was a success At Srst he was embarrassed, but receiving, From the kiudly faces around him, au inspiration of confidence, he threw olT nil restraint and thrilled the congregation. "IIow did you like my sermon?" he isked of Hcttie as they were walking ilon<j the road. "It (lid first rale for a beginner." The preacher was disappointed. Of ill the people in the house, he desired most to impress the girl. Perceiving his disappointment, and suffering a slight sting of remorse, she added: "It was thebest sermon I ever heard. riin was tnup.hnd." lie looked earnestly at her. She laughed so loud that liillingsly and his wife, who were walking some distance in advance, looked back at her. " You do not call yourself a heathen, Jo vou?" Yes." ' You have no cause to call yourself a lieatheu. Are not your parents good Christians?" "Yes, but I am a heathen. Wonder what would become of me if 1 were to Jie. Oh, I know*. I would be buried." "Miss Billingsly, you should not talk 30." "Do you know why 1 am so bad?'' "I do not know that you are so bad." "I am though." "Then, why arc you? " "Because, ever since I can remember, everybody has told me how bad I ain. I must have been a repulsive child, for I :annot remember that a visitor to our bouse ever took me up and carressed me. Nothing could make me bitter, so 1 just became bad. I have made many attempts to behave myself, but the first thing I knew, something would come up to turn me back. I know thr.t I am ilmost a woman?but we have talked enough about it. I have already talked more freely to you than 1 have ever talked to anyone else." Wilkins boarded with Billingsly. The preacher tried in vain to engage the girl in another serious conversation. She did not avoid him, but when he attempted U' KiUV> Ill/Ill lil/i i?

(>ue jvening, just before church time, the aid gentleman called Ilcttie. lie re :eived no answer. The old fellow raved. He searched the premises, but :ould not find her. The preacher was grieved and Mrs. Billingslv was humiliated. Thay went to church without the girl. When they had gone, llettie same out from her hiding place. Her lyes were red, and her cheeks were tear>taincd. She attempted to read, but j threw down the book. She tried to ! laugh but burst into tears. The clock struck nine. Brushing back her hair, she stood for a moment as though she were deeply thinking, then, throwing a light shawl j jround her shoulders, she rushed from the house. Tlifi nrenchor lmd berrun to call for mourners; the brothers and sisters had j begun to sing an old hymn, when Hettic entered the church. "Without lookiug up she walked quickly to the mourners' bench and knelt down. The people were astonished. When the services were :losed, the preacher looked for Nettie, but she had disappeared. lie did not ce her at the breakfast tabic the next morning. In apology, Mrs. Billingsly said that her daughter was not well. She lid not come down to dinner, neither lid she make her appearance at the supper table. The old man was much j softened toward the girl, and before ; 'oing to church he went up and kissed ! icr. It was such a surprise, it moved j ler so deeply that she sobbed aloud. That night when the preacher called | "or mourners, Hettie suddenly appeared i she looked at no one but wit ha low cry, she sank upon the bench.

Just as an old exlorter arose to say that the services ivould be brought to a close, llcttic >prang to her feet, uttered a cry ut joy ind seized her mother. It was now I iseless to attempt a dismissal of the 1 meeting. The little church had never j known a season of such shouting. Old | man Billingsly lifted his lusty voiec and tiis wife in a transport of happiness, i ringing iu a voice of tremulous joy, time md again declared that the Lord had issued a special decree in her favor. The preacher was happy. He had been the means of accomplishing a work which every one had thought to be impossible. lie was ardently sincere; he believed that a soid had been saved. Ilettie no longer avoided him. Her face had undergone an entire change. Her smile was radiant. One evening, shortly after her conversion, she and the preacher sat on a large rock. "Ilettie, you do not know how bright your face has grown." "And you, Mr. Wilkius, do not know liow light my heart has grown. I look with pity upon my former self. I can now rean/.e tue trutn oi wliat you nave told me/' "liettie, you have been more to me than I have to you, yes, much more.

' GETTING WISDOM TEETH. A DENTIST GIVES SOME POINTS OF INTEREST. Trouble with Ufvdoin Tectli wliich C'ntmex Itnd Health?The IlloNt Cnniiiinn Ttiuontm of tile Teeth* "I have noticed that more people are interested in the condition of their mouths and teeth since the widespread report of General Grant's peculiar disease and the various causes ascribed for it, remarked a dentist to the Chicago jVetc*. "The majority of persons have been prone to give little heed to any dis- j ariangement of the mouth, dental or otherwise, and to pass it over, even for years, as something merely uncomfortable and not important to the general health." Concerning teeth-cutting, lie said: "The upper wisdom teeth arc usually erupted without difficulty, but those of the lower jaw often occasion considerable constitutional disturbance, and arc frequently, especially with males, the reason of various obscure nervous affections. Crowding is the cause of the most trouble with these teeth, which are known as the 'third molars,' the space between the second molars and the upright portions of the jaw being insufficient to permit the tooth to come through readily. Tlie inflammation which ensues frequently causes a lump to form at the place where the jaw reaches the throat. This is called a 'fungus excrescence/ and usually has to be cut out. Sometimes simply lancing the gum and letting out the blood will give relief. The record of troubles caused bv the attempt of a wisdom tooth to push itself out into thcsocictyof an already crowded arch is manifold. They are sometimes very slow in accomplishing the job, and I've known youths and young men who were not in good health for two or three years from no other cause then cutting their wisdom teeth. In the cases of some exceptionally susceptible and sensitive individuals, they have occasioncd death." "What is the average age of cutting wisdom teeth?" "Any period between sixteen and forty-five. The most critical periods are usually at the ages of six, twelve and about seventeen, although few persons cut wisdom teeth till over twenty. People suffer more in later years from the stupidity of their parents and the lack of attention they give to their teeth from the ages of six to seventeen than from any other cause. Now, the sixyear old molars arc the largest teeth in the mouth, and are very important. They should never be allowed to decay if possible to prevent it. Even if they cannot be permanently saved, they should by all means be retained till the child is between ten and twelve years old. But if they cannot be kept there arc reasons why they should be extracted at this particular period. The want of proper appreciation and proper treatment of these six-vear-old molars is one of the principal causes which occasion most people to lose pari or all of their teeth before they arc forty. Why? Oh, the effects of their removal are so many (hat I can't give them in detail. Their removal robs the arch of support, just as taking a barrel stave from the barrel would, and therefore it must collapse sooner or later. If people haven't good teeth they can't masticate their food sufficiently. Many persons don't do so who have the teeth. Indigestiou, is. of course, the result. Indigestion is our prevailing malady, and it has its origin eight times out of ten in some trouble with the teeth, either nervous or owing to the decay of the dental apparar tus. The pressure exerted upon teeth during mastication is essential to their healthy cendition. They are strengthened, the same as any other organ, by | exercise." "What is the most common disease of I the teeth?'' "Tarter deposit. It resembles creatu | of tarter, which gathers from time to time and adheres to the teeth as that does to the sides of the casks. It occasions a heap of mischief. The only treatment for it is its thorough removal. It is very destructive, frequently eating furrows across the teeln just below the margin of the gum. It accumulates the "most rapidly at night, for as the mouth is then at rest there is nothing to interfere with its attachment as there is when the fluids are in motion. The acids j of the mouth are more active at night, j too. Therefore teeth should always be well cleaned before retiring. If they j are brushed at no other time ?and it is ! not necessary unless convenient to brush j them oftcner than once a day?it should 1 l)f> done before sloeninir. Teeth should not be scrubbed like a kitchen floor, j either, but brushed gently, the upper ones down and the lower ones up. There are nicc little tooth brushes and denti! frices manufactured especially now for children's use, and their little teeth should be cleaned the same as those of older persons." Household Pets. As between hobbies and pets -two no table weaknesses of the human race?the latter are the least objectionable. A man or woman with a hobby, if a red hot hobby, is simply a nuisance, and the possessor of an obtrusive pet is often almost the same. A pet child or a pet animal, where intelligence is found and when kept in place, may be made the means of satisfying the Cravings of the hunger of afTection without beromingobjectionable to others than the possessors. A pet in a household, of whateve kind, is almost sure to be objectionable to some one, with a show of probability that sonic one would hate it as cordially as the party of the other part would love it. If those who have pets would keep tliera to themselves, no objections could be raised against them; but the trouble is that full half the enjoyment of pet possessors seems to be in the display of their brilliant qualities of mind or manners. Doubtless more children become presuming, forward and "cheeky" from the undue attempts of parents or admiring frieuds to have them "show oil," and the attendant "putting them through a course of sprouts," in season and out of season, or wheueveran opportunity offers, 1 or may be hunted up, thau from any ! other one caus3. When a pet animal is allowed to usurp the place of a human being, or permitted to assume to be cn a par with the human | family, that pet is out of its place, and : its possessor a good ways out of his or I her place. Household petB in place and keeping arc desirable institutions in the i family circle, but pet children and pet i animals, when given undue place and | prominence, turn the milk of human ' kindness sour in many a heart, and draw i dark clouds about many an otherwise i peaceful home. Yes, have pets about the house by all I means; aud as there is said to be "a I place for everything, and everything in ! its place.'' don't violate the "ordinance" | in the matter of household pets.?

It is really almost too appalling to think about. So many things we now look upon as all but necessaries 1 ? cakes, puddings, made dishes, confectionery, preserves, sweet biscuits, jellies, ; cooked fruits, tarts, etc?were then practically impossible. Fancy attempting nowadays to live a single day without sugar; no tea, no colTee, no jam, no cake, no sweets, no hot toddy before one goes to bed; the bare idea of it is too terrible. And yet that was really the abject condition of all the civilized world up to the middle of the Middle Ages. Horace's punch was sugarless; the gentle Virgil never tasted the congenial cup of afternoon tea; and Socrates went from his cradle to h:s grave without ever knowing the flavor of peppermint bull's eyes. How the children spent their Saturday as, or their weekly oaolus, is a profound mystery. To Ijc sure, people made honey; but honey is rare, dear and scanty; it can never have tilled one-cjuarter the placc that sugar tills in our modern ulTections. Try for a moment to realize drinking honey with one's whisky and water, or doing the year's preserving with a pot of Narborine, and you get at once a common measure of the difference between the two as practical sweeteners. Nowadays we get sujrar from cane and beet root in abundance, while sugar, maple and palm trees of various sorts allord a considerable supply to remoter countries. But the childhood of the little Greeks and liomans must have been absolutely unlighted by a single ray of joy from chocolate creams or Kvcrton taffy. The consei|uencc of this excessive production of sweets in modern times is, of course, that we have begun to distrust the indications afforded us by the sense of taste in this particular and to the wholesomeness of various ob jects.?i.Oh ao.i oi mum.

A British officer says that such a thing as a good looking Arab woman docs not I exist. The Frcnch theory of all summer material is that they siiouM be made up without lining. Cold gauze ribbon galloons are quite new, with chess-board designs formed of bronze beads. Transparent, bonnets of embroidered gauze, or gold net-work, are the features of the summer season. A lovely evening dress is of black lace, with a design in gold and silver tinsel scattered over the front, and all the rest in lace. There arc many ways now of brightening black dresses, the easiest being a vest front in colors and lace, gathered or beaded. The Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria has a passion for manufacturing jewelry, and labors under the instruction of a working jeweler. In Chicago the majority of the law reporters are women. There arc forty employed in the city court house, and they earn Irom six to fifteen dollars a week. A new style ot ornamentation lor omck fans consists of small etched landscapes, with a moon shining down into limpid water and reflecting the trees in its depths. Paper slippers, sandals and other covering for the feet arc the latest form in which paper appears in new inventions, an Englishman having patented a system for their manufacture. Dress gloves have arms of applique gauze embroidered upon nDt, reaching to but not above the elbows, and finished with a border of appliqued lace to match and a bow of satin ribbon. The deposed empress, Eugenie, goes shopping in London when she wishes to procure anything, just like any lady of limited means, aud her mourning gown and long crape veil do not preserve her from being run after and stared at by crowds of people. The newest jacket shown by the leading ladies' tailor of Fifth avenue, New York, is of white cloth trimmed in a crack artillery regimental braiding and with rrnlrl snntarho cord formed of four strands of cord, two gold and two of a dark bluc-gray sbadc. Charming cilccts are mado in summer costumes by the addition of the velvet bodice in a modified Swiss style. These have double points and are at the longest part not over a quarter of a yard in length. They may be made in any color which is harmonious with the costume. A pretty trimming for black costumes is iu the little pendant balls of cut jets which arc seen among the new trimming this season. These are sewn at intervals all over the front breadths of the dress, and have a brilliant and pretty effect without being too heavy for summer wear. Shirred hats promise to be more fashionable for garden and country uses than any other, and are made of colored or cream crape in a cottage or poke shnpc as is most becoming. These hats combine two very esseutial qualities in summer hals, one of which is lightness and the other prettiness. A pretty and tasteful dress for a vouug girl may be made from unbleached or brown linen combined with Turkey red. Tlin olrirf-. mnv hp whnllv of the Tnrkcv red or may be of the linen striped with the red. The overdress and blouse waist are of the lineu, finished with the red, a broad red sash completing the effect r: the costume. lligli, white washing dresses, ind others in thin, black materials or cream nun's veiling, arc made with gathered bodices, hijrh, belted and short-sleeved, or with sleeves to the elbows. The short sleeves area revival of a fashion of thirty years aco and convenient, because it admits of the wear of long gloves, reaching above the elbows. An exquisite little bonnet is made with a crown composed entirely of petals of the white rose, while the brim is formed of the brown-green thorn-fretted stems, twisted and plaited together. The floral trimming consists of some giant mignonette, copied to a marvel from nature, and ir white rose or two. The back of this bonnet is finished oft with a gathered binding of moss-colored ribbonvelvet, and the bow in front and the strings are of the same. A line of pale gold lace intervenes between the plaited rose srcins anci uie nair, impairing a lightness of cITectthat is very becoming. Galloons nrc still much employed, but with fresh varieties of combinations. Vests or jackets, capes and short visitcs, nrc entirely covered with mohair galloons about one-third of an inch wide, wit on lengthwise at regular intervals; one of the edges of the galloon is headed or outlined with gold, the ends arc fringed out. Arabesques or Japanese patterns arc drawn over and cut out from some other material. They are then placed over the outlines prepared and worked on in applique, with an edging of line soutache all round. These patterns may be of a color differing from "the mantle? matched, for instance, to the dress with which it is to be worn. HEALTH HINTS. Powdered rice Is said tu have a great elTcct in stopping bleeding from fresh wounds. The ricc powder is sprinkled upon lint, which is then applied as a compress. Sulphur mixture for the blood: Five teaspoonfuls powdered sulphur to one of cream tartar; mix with molasses: take one tcasnoouful three successive mornings, then omit three, and so on until it has been taken nine times. Bed sores: When there is nnv indication of an abrasion being formed, a common bullalo robe should be procured and placed beneath the patient, the snual undcrshcct, of course, remaining between the body and the fur of the novel mattress. In a paper by Dr. Yarick, read before a New York medical association, the use of simple hot water as a dressing for wounds is strongly recommended. During an experience in its use of six years in cases of acute surgery, such as railroad accidcnts, etc., lie has had no death from septica-mia or primary or secondary shock. Lime water may be made cheaply by taking a fresh piece of lime as large as an egg, pouring two quarts of soft water on it and allowing it to stand two or three hours, shaking it occasionally. Dottle and keep for use. Another method is to place in a wide mouthed bottle some well burned oyster shells, and pour water on them till the bottle is full. Let it stand, and draw oil the clean water when needed. Fresh water may be added ! from time to time to the same lime until the strength is exhausted, which will not be very soon. This is a valuable antiacid, and may be employed with great advantage iu many cases, and especially in dyspepsia attended with acid stomach; and mixed with milk, which completely covers its taste, is one of the beat rcine (lies in our professsion for those whose stomachs will not retain their food.

As the ' clock strikes that hour the yeoman ' porter, clothed in a long red cloak, bear- 1 ing a huge bunch of keys and acconipa- ' nied by a wr.rdcr carrying a lantern, 1 stands at the front of the main guard- ' house and calls out, "Escort, keys." 1 The sergeant of the guard and five or six ' men then turn out and follow him to the outer gate, each sentry challenging as they pass with, " Who goes there?" the answer being ' Keys." The gates being ( carefully locked and barred, the proces , sion returns, the sentries exacting the j ( same explanation and receiving the same i t misiv-pr na lw>fnrp Arrivinif mien more ' . at the front of the main guard house, the J < sentry gives a loud stamp with his foot , and asks, " Who goes there?" " Keys." | "Whose keys?" "Queen Victoria's | i keys." "Advance, Queen Victoria's i j keys, and all's well." The yeoman | . porter then calls out, "God bless Queen ' ] Victoria!" to which the guard responds, j , "Amen." The ollicer orders "Present L arms," and kisses the hilt of his sword, J and the yeoman porter then marches I . alone across the parade and deposits the j keys in the lieutenant's lodging. , ? ] According to the statistics of Mr. ' SpofTord, librarian of Congress, tlire are still on the pension roll some 0,000 survivors of the war of 1812. 1 THE CURIOSITIES OF CRIME. ah old detective describes the wats of obibuhals. , \o Original Ideas Among; Them Crime Average* up Uhc tlie Wheat ] Crop?Some Cane* Cited. "The study of crime brings forth some ] curious facts," observed nn old detective the other day. "While you may Know just how a certain shot in billiards ought ^ to be made, it may not be possible to make it successfully. So with our busi- 3 ness. We may be able to pick up all the clues in a murder case, but the next j thing is to catch the murderer." "What arc your curious facts ?" "One of them is that all criminals commit crime after certain rules. It is rarely, indeed, that you find a crook ' working on an original idea. The burglar works after the style of 100 years ago. < The thief has 110 new ideas. All our murders are committed after what might be called the old-fashioned way. I sometimes wish some offender would develop something new in law-breaking. For instance, I can point you to a case where as many as thirteen attempts have been made to enter a certain residence within the last two years, and each attempt at the same window with the same tools. Isn't that monotonous ?" 1 "Another of the curious facts is that crime averages up with as much certainty | as the weather or the crops. If it gains one month it will lose the next. If it , falls off in one season it will pick up at 1 another, so that your figures for one year will not vary greatly from another, except there arc special reasons for it. We send about ao many criminals to prison each year; about so many give us the slip; about so many commit their first , offense, have a close shave from State . prison and are frightcued into leading honest lives. 1 "A third curious fact is theshortsight- ; cdness of criminals, evtn wncn crime is deliberately planned. In a murder case in the interior of the State last year you remember the murderer claimed that 1 some one reached into his bedroom window and hit his wife with a club, the blow causing her death. In his confession, made after four or five days, he acknowledged that he had been planning the crime for weeks. Now sec howblind he was. The window-sash was nailed down at each corner. He broke oil one nail and left the other! lie was made to see that no man, no matter what his height, could have reached into the window far enough to strike any one on the bed, even with a hoe-handle. In planning his perfect safety he committed half a dozen of the stupidest blunders one ever read of. "Take the case of the average burglar. Tf ftamao tr\ kft lrnAtvn nrrttinri Vnq iiqiiaI A U VVUiVO IV I'Vy u?vt?uv% ....y haunts that he is broke for cash. Indeed, he volunteers the information himself, makes a haul and returns to give himself dead away by his rccklcssextravagance. "It is the same with a common thief. If he would steal and hide his plunder for awhile he would give us more hard work, but the idea with him seems to be that if he is not nabbed in the very act he has nothing to fear. lie don't wait to dispose of his plunder, and his manner of offering it for sale is a give away in itself. The old thief learns caution, of course, but the oldest of them drop foot prints here and there. "Sec how easy it is to draw a war map of crime! The bond robber will sooner or later seek to negotiate with bankers or brokers. The store robber will work his silks and velvets off at. auction. He may not personally, but his 'fence' will. The clerk or cashier, who is embezzling from $1,000 to $3,000 per year, will spend it in wine, cards, horses and with evil company. When he makes a grab of $10,000 you can depend upon his going to Canada or Mexico. The thief who steals a harness, silver pitcher, garilnn lir>fir> or other article wants the cash for it right away, and you* may figure on turning him up at some second hand store or the pawnbroker's. "The ruts of crime are as plain as the iion tracks of a railroad. You can figure to a moral certainty what a criminal vhotild do and will do, but that isn't catching him. There hasn't been a murder committed in Michigan for twenty years without my feeling morally certain as to the murder, but what I feel and proofs to convict arc two different matters. "And one of the curious facts is that so many criminals give themselves away. Not one in thirty can commit murder without eventually sharing his secret with some one. The burden of guilt seems too great for one pair of shoulders. "1'hipps. who was hung at Sandwich, schemed every way to break jail, and risked his life to got out of Canada, but he hadn't had his liberty twenty-four hours before he wanted to give himself up. Jle headed for the far West, but stopped in Pullman in disgust, and actually took pains to let three or four individuals know who he was Some criminals will overdo the thing, and by the vehemence of their protestations excitc suspicion. Others show guilt by timidity, and yet others by their show of indifference or cheek. 1 have picked up an offender on the street with no other clue than his manner of glancing at his fellow-pedestrians. I have arrested others who looked everylmflv in the fnrn as franklv as if thev felt it ;i crime to steal a strawberry. They were overdoing the thing by too much frankness. "Tell me to-day the name of a man in any certain business whom you have reason to believe is hard tip and cannot pull through his financial straits,and I can tell you pretty closely as to what will result. If he belongs to a certain class there will be an honest assignment. If to another certain class there will be a bogus chattel mortgage, or some of the stock will be smuggled awav. If to a third, there will be an incendiary fire to , secure the insurance. You can count on these ruts in crime as certainly as upon the seasons, but the crimi ial who follows , them very often gets to the cud of the j furrow and takes a new departure before he can be overtaken.'"?Detroit Fret Prcs?. A Royal Game. Teunis has been a royal game; so very royal that Edward III. (1:505) decided 1 tlmt no one but kings and their associates 1 should be allowed to play it at all, and his example was followed by llenry IV., Henry VIII., and oilier reigning so\> creigns of England and France. it kept gaining in popularity, however, and some ' sort of outdoor tennis was played with . inflated balls very early in the history of 1 the game. Every little while the royal commands . would be forgotten, or some convenient war would break out, and. alter it was ^ over, tenuis would "bob up serenely," as a very popular amusement. Henry VIII. had the tennis fever in a violent form, and the most Jamous roval set ever played was that in which llenrv VIII. of England and the Emperor Charles V. were matched against the Prince of Orange and the Manpiis of IJrandenburg, j while the Karl of Devonshire "stopped" j (that is, picked up balls and kept count) . for one side and Lord Edmund Howard did a like service for the other side. At last, the kings gave up the vain attempt to keep so capital a ?ame to themselves, and graciously vouchsafed it to their loyal subjects, simply because they could no longer prevent their playing. | Of course, there still remained the dillicultics arising /rom the great costliness of regular courts, but these could not. interfere with out-of-door tennis. This was, however, a very unscientific sport, and was, of course, despised by the gentry who could afford to play the court jame. In fact, it was not until a very few years a^o that the play-loving English public-awoke to the fact that some one had reduced out-of-door tennis to a science; that something very like court i i tennis could bo nlftvcd on the lawn, un- i 3er the blue sky: and that "pent-house , roofs" and galleries, railings, tambours, [ liases, and the rest were relics of the I lark ages.?St. Xidwla*.

The causes of joint diseases in childhood are frequently obscure, but this much is certain, that the rough handling which children receive ut the hands of ignorant parents or careless nurses hns much to do with the matter. Stand on any street corner and notice how children arc handled. Here coincs a lady with a three-Year-old girl; she is walking twice as fust as she should, and the child is over-exerting itself to keep pr.ee: every time the child lags the mother gives it a sudden and unexpected lurch, which is enough to throw its shoulder out, to say nothing of bruising the delicate structures of the joints; a gutter is reached; instead of giving the little toddler time to get over in its own way, or properly lifting it. the mother raises it from the ground by one hand, its whole weight depending from one upper extremity, - : j...<!.? ana wiui a swing wiucu nvi?m uicuiuu body as far around as the joints will permit, it is landed, after a course of four or five feet through the air, 011 the other side. Here is a girl 12 years old with a baby of a year in her arms. The babe sits 011 the girl's arm without support to its back. This would be a hard enough position to maintain were the girl standing still, but she is walking rapidly, and the little one has to gather the entire strength of its muscular system to adapt itself to its changing bases of support, to say nothing of adjusting its little body to sudden leaps and darts 011 the part of its wayward nurse. Sometimes during a sudden advance you will see a part of the babe a foot in advance of its head and trunk, which have to be brought up by a powerful and sudden action of the muscles of the trunk and neck. Probably not a child in a hundred is properly handled. - i'lcin null bincd. The Cholera Danger. "As the cholcra is now on its travels," said Dr. C. C. Vandcrbcck at the Wagner Institute, "we may confidently expect the plague during the present summer, or at the furthest in the fall, and tits* Kn rvp.mnpnrl fr/? monf if flf fhp >.U OllUII.U |^ru,i.u outset. The first stage of this frighful scourge is comparatively mild and takes the form of diarrhea. It is nt this point that the disease is to be combntcd. Neglected even for an hour or more, the second stage comcB on, when the discharges are like rice water, and recovery is doubtful. Vomiting, especially during the night time, becomes a sympton, as well as cramps in the muscles of the legs, and passage to the stage of collapse is rapid. Death frequently sets in in one day." Dr. Yandcrbcck held that the cholera germ was nurtured in filth and propagated through water. "Youdon'tbreathe cholera," said he, "there is no danger in the air. Cholera is contagious, but the contagion is not through the atmosphere." Acids destroy the life of the cholera genns, and for that reason, lemon juice, decoctions of ginger, and the external use of mustard, were recommended. Cleanliness in person and surroundings, the boiling of all water used for drinking and cooking purposes, and the having of the stomach in the best possible con uiijuli ;iru liju intiiii |jiu> uini\iw uiu disease.
