Come one, Come all! Yours truly, December 1, 1900. Shcrock riorme^. Jr. "Do you see that with the dark mustache?" sail Shcr-k iolmes, Jr. "Yes. Do yo:, k:nOW him? "I never saw him lefur. IIe is mar ried. He ought to 've in a flat. but doesn't. His wife is afraid of the hired girl, and he is left handed." "Mr. Holmes, you are an everlasting narvel. How can you tell that about a man you don't know and whom you never saw before y' "Look at the second knuckle on his left hand. You see, it is badly skinned. Also there Is a black mark on his left cuff. Now let us see what we must make of this. Wlien a left handed man pokes up the furnace fire, how does he do it? By putting his left hand for ward, of course. Thus it happened that it was his left hand which scraped against the furnace door. The black ened cuff shows that it was a furnace door. Having this foundation to work upon, the rest Is easy. If he lived in a flat, he would have no furnace to look after, and If his -ife were not afraid of the hired girl they would make the latter do the poking up. It is all very simple if one's perceptive faculties are properly trained. He can't really af ford to live in a house, because if he could he would have a man to look aft er the furnace. Therefore he ought to live in a lat." "But hold on. Ilow do you know the man is married? Ile can't be over 30 at the most. Why may it nct be possi ble that he lives at home with his wid owed mother?" "My dear sir," said Sherlock Holmes, Jr., "I am surprised at your lack of perspicacity. If he lived at home with his widowed mother, he would permit her to tend to the furnace herself." Chicago Times-Herald. A Round Robin Remedy. When a doctor of 30 years' practice encounters a new experience, it must be worth relating. This is from a phy sician on Lafayette avenue who has fought disease for the period named. "I saw him get gingerly out of a wag on in front of the office. He then left the team with his daughter, ignored the bell and pounded lustily on the door. I answered in person because I thought he and my office girl might get Into an argument, for he looked just like a man who would insist upon seeing the 'doe' at once. "'Doe,' he began without other pre liminary, 'I've been a-takin truck fur six months, and blamed If I hain't worse'n I was at the beginnin.' "'What's the matter with you?' "'Stomach's all cut o' whack. Regu lar riot down there all the time and me a-dosin in the remerdy after each meal and at early bedtime.' "'What are you taking?' "'Here It is, doe, and I got a lot left yet. My first wife uster buy it in the bulk 'cause It came cheaper.' "'But this is for the lungs.' "'S'pose I don't know that? Course it's fur the lungs. That's what was the matter with her. I don't care If it was fur the liver. It's got ter go to the stomach first, hain't it? And the stom ach and the lungs hain't so durned far apart but what helps one helps the other and what gits to one gits to the other.' "-Detroit Free Press. An Expelled M. P.'s Prayer. During the first half of the eight enth century one of the members for a southern constituency was expelled from the house of commons for forgery and Indeed endured the purgatory of standing in the pillory for a day. Hle was a man of unctuous piety, and his :areer In many respects resembled that f Jabez Balfour in later days. After is death the following prayer was found in his own handwriting among his papers: "0 Lord, thou knowest that 1 have ine houses in the city of London and hat I have lately purchased an estate n fee simple in the county of Essex. I eseech thee to preserve the two coun es of Middlesex and Essex from fire ad earthquake, and as I have a mort age In Herefordshire I beg of thee to have an eye of compassion also on that ounty, and for the rest of the counties hou mayest deal with them as thou art ;leased. Give a prosperous voyage to the Mermaid, because I have not in sured her, and enable the bank to meet heir bills."-St. James Gazette. Steam and Battleship. A whole fleet in the days of Nelson ould be built and fitted out at little more than the cost of a single ironclad. The coal expended on a single cruiso would pay for the refitting of his whole attie line, while the immense shells re uired to make any Impression on the modern armor plate cost more than his whole armament. But the modern line f hattie ship could neither be built, rmed nor fought without the use of steam, and Its evolution may be said to have commenced with the first applica ton of the steam engine to navigation. -London Standard. Warned. Once when Mrs. Kendal was taking the role of Galatea In Dublin she had n amusing experience. Pygmalion, It wIll be remembered, had a jealous wife. During the temporary absence f that lady Galatea was about to throw herself into the arms of Pygma ion when an old dame in the audience cried warningly: "Don't do It, darlint! His wife's just gone out, and shure It'll be like her to be listenin at the key ole." The Other Way.

He saw to it that the public moneys were not squandered or used for dis honest purpcses. A claim for $1,000, 000 was once brought to him for his signature. It had been regularly al lowed, but it was illegal, and he re fused to sign. "It has been allowed," insisted the claui:nt's attorney. "and you must sign it." "I will not." repeated Mr. Sherman, and he did not. Ile would have resign ed, he afterwnald confided to a friend, had it been required of him sooner that even seem to sanction a fraud. Neither -would he permit irregularities. The chief of a bureau one day came to him for an order to pay for some machin ery. "Has it been advertised?" asked the secretary. "No," said the chief, "but there are only two places where it can be made, and we are accustomed to get their bids and contract with the lowest." "But." said the secretary, "the law says it must be advertised." "At least this may pass, for It Is made, and we need it." "I cannot help that. Thu law says it must be advertised, and alvertiscd it must be." And advertised it was at a very large saving to the government. Saturday Evening Post. A Lesson In Seamanship. Captain Hans Miron, who lost his life at his post of duty on the burning Saale at Hoboken, was fond of telling of his early introduction to the stern realities of his chosen career. He had but just come on board the schooner where as cabin boy he was to serve his apprenticeship to the sea and was still staring about him with boyish Interest and inquisitiveness when the skipper approached and ordered him to assist in washing down the deck. He put down his bundle and started awkwardly to do so, when a second order, accompanied by emphatic ex pletives, was given him to take off his shoes and stockings. He was perfectly willing to oblige, but at home he had not been permitted to wet his feet. "No," he answered Innocently, with an engaging smile, "I should not mind. but my mother does not allow it." The skipper was a rough old sea dog who did not appreciate obedience un less it was rendered to himself, and his reply was a stunning blow that flung the boy across the deck. "But after that," Captain Miron would say, with a great laugh and not a shadow of re sentment, "I knew who was captain of that schooner, and It was not my mother." Four Kings and a Joker. At the time of Colonel Cody's advent into the capital of Germany the old Emperor William was entertaining there three kings of smaller Germanic powers. The royal gentlemen were very much interested In the Buffalo Bill exhibitions, and Colonel Cody was the recipient of many favors from the emperor himself. One feature of the performance was the exhibition of the antiquated Deadwood coach containing passengers who are attacked by In dians and finally rescued by cowboys. The kaiser asked to be allowed to ride in this vehicle with his royal guests and to participate in this inter esting experience. The request was of course granted, and when the coach was furiously assailed by howling In dians Its Inmates were as usual saved by gallant cowboys. After it was over and as the royal party were descending from the coach the emperor remarked: "Colonel Cody, I do not suppose this is the first time that you have ever held four kings." "No, your majesty," returned the quick witted scout. "but this Is the first time I ever held four kings and a royal joker at the same timeI"-San Francis co Evening Post. Fresh Water Springs In Midocean. Several fresh water fountains are known to exist in the gulf of Mexico, where vessels have frequently filled their casks with ice cold sweet water that comes up like a geyser in the midst of the salt water. The fresh water springs, as the sailors call them, have been known In the gulf for 200 or 300 years. They were discovered by early voyagers and were the salvation of many a mariner whose supply of fresh water ran short while he was becalmed in the doldrums.' Some of the fresh water springs are marked upon the charts, but there is so little need of them nowadays by the steam ers on the gulf and the sailing fleet is so small that no attention Is paid to them, and they have passed out of the knowledge of the younge? skipper.
