Away up among the Boston mountains,
in Arkausaw?near a stream so rapid '
that it seemed a torrent of hurry and worry
P5'-hore stands an old stone house. 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,

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. '

"Yes, I am. Father was just aboutto (
larrup mc with an apple tree sprout when (
you came." 1
"Leave this room," demanded the old ?
man. "Go on, I tell you. That switch '
is still handy, and you shall feel it vet." *
The girl left the room. The astonished
Mr. Wilkins sat down, and recovering
somewhat from his embarrassment, ]
said ?
"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. There has .

charge, ain't it?"
"Yes, I have just comc from college.
Although I have never been actively en- i
gaged in the vineyard, yet I belivc that !
1 can do good work. I have?
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

The old man adjusted the saddle. A
fragment of tlint rock fell on the ground )
The old man shook his head and sighed j !
deeply.
,4\Vhat is the matter, Brother Billingsly?"
'
"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." I i
"Do what?" jj
"Do anything. I'll be good, I dc- i
clarc I will. I won't go lisiung any 1
more unless you tell me to go." t
"What made you put that rock under <.
the saddle and turn the horse loose, f

me, I will never do it any more." j 1

Just as lie raised the switch, the i r
preacher calling from the head of the ' <]
stairs, said: . j a
"Oh, Brother Billingsly !" 11
"Yes." j t
"Step here a minute, please." j v
The old man went up. The preacher I v
said: "You must really excuse me for ti
going to bed without having held pray- ; c
l crs. 1 am very young in the cause, you j ii
know, and reaily forgot it. Is it too ! o
late*" " I ci
"No; we might pray a little." ' ci
The preachcrput on his clothes, came I is
down-stars and summoned the family. | tl
Menu llettie joined the circle of devo- | ir
tion. 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

ttlc church situated a short distance
rom Billingsly farm.
"When the time arrived, Wilkins
sked the girl if he might accompany

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. The

liink it is awful smart to catch a new

"I hope that tbis alone does not inluence

"Oh, yes. but no one should entertain
such truths. They are pernicious. A

"Well, 1 have another reason."
"I am glad to hear it."
"It is a better reason than the other

"What is it?"
"I want to sec how curious it will make

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.

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

slic would make perplexing replies.
A {rreat revival was organized at t'.o
lit tic church. I let tic would not walk with
the preacher, and, in fact, she would
not have attended the meeting had not
kcr father compelled her to do so. (>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. People who
iiad never had :i kind word to say of the
^irl, gathered around her aud whispered
consoling words in her ears. Everyone
seemed to be glad that Mean llet was

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

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.? (iood

Tlic World Without Sugar.
1 Has any housewife ever realized the
alarming condition <>f cooker}' in the
benighted generations before the invention
of sugars? 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.

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.

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.

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. Such
persons ought to make it their principal
aliment; that is, lime water ami milk,
with bread, crackers, mush, etc., say a
wine glassful to a pint of milk. To
check vomiting, a tcaspoonful every fifteen
minutes may be given.
Closing London Tower. i
The Tower of London is locked up
every night at eleven o'clock. As the '
clock strikes that hour the yeoman '

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

and asks, " Who goes there?" " Keys." |
"Whose keys?" "Queen Victoria's | i

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

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*.

Rough Handling' or Children.
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,

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

or at the furthest in the fall, and

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.
