NOT WHAT HIPS PICTURED.

TLv Selective Not Such a Wonderful Being After All. r i !■ i’ever-watchful, ever-present, wily ami wary detective, whose doings as depicted in the pages of dime novels have long fired the ambition as they have canm ed the heart of the small uoy, e .iots only in the imagination of the writers of those novels. The detectives o o- ay are much inferior to the s.euais who'ie pictures are so vividly drawn for toe delight of the youth iof the land. Not that men are not born nowadays with natures well fitted to serve iu ferreting out a great mystery, but ra her because men wdh su. h natuies find mu h more lucrative fie ds of employment other than the 'i.-agre*'-able one of hounding iov>n c.-oots un.l thieves The age of well-lighted streets, Of telegraphy and telephones, o rogu; galleiies and (o-operative . late systems makes it almost in possi ie )©r a great dark mystery to occur. The reform schools and educational annexes to many criminal inst.tu'ions now turn aside lrom the downward path ma-jv a bright young youth, who, if but lcit alone, would Soon succeed in puzzling iho brightest peace officials, and so create a demand for clever detective work. Mysteries there are that da lyoe ur, but they are as deep as the uofths of the human Suul, and nothing but self*confession can ever solve them. The old sleuth of dime-novel fame wtis credited with possessing a wondrous wardiobe of the vilest combinations and physical aspects. He eba ed the villain “that still pursues her” o er hill and dale, into mining camp and out again, among thieves banded together and meeting in dark, grewsome oaves and lonely, villainous-loo', ing houses, and ever eventually “downing his man” with clock-work precision and hanging him mrst thoroughly and triumphantly. Lut such men never lived. In the great cities of the Union defective work Is commingling with the ordinary work of the routine officer. They are mere emergency men, liable to be dressed in uniform and placed on temporary duty in the absence of the regular officer. Their work is strictly local. No traveling over the country is necessary, except in cases where identification is necessary or a criminal is to be brought back.

Children at Table.

In good society very young children are not permitted to come to table unless the family are alone. But in the latter case, we think the earlier children are taught to sit at the table with parents, brothers and sisters, ana behave properly, the more surely will they secure good, refined table manners. It is not difficult to teach a young child to make its wants quietly known to the proper person and mt the proper time. But what can be more uncomfortable and annoying than to sit at table where the, children, from the obtest, to the youngest, are the dominant power, never waiting patiently for their turn to bo helped, but calling loudly for whatever they desire; Impatient if it is not brought to them on the instant? If attention is not given as soon as the words are out of his mouth, how unpleasant o see a child standing on the rounds of the chair, or reaching over other plates to help himself to whatever he desires! Parents oan, with very little trouble to themselves, save their guests from witnessing such rudeness if they begin ’•’ hen every habit is uniform. Children should be taught to be gentle and ret pectful In manner when requiring service from the servant or waiter. And yet how many give no hce : to th s duty. How manj hear their young charges calling impatiently or arrogantly, “Give me the butter, • ane,”"!a-s the bread this way, ’’ “Can’t you he a , Jane? I’ve told you two or three t m s to give me some water.” Or some mat soften their imperious and h irsh demands just a little by saying, “I’ll ink ■ the bread, please;” but the “p!ea*e ” - too far off to be very pleasan . It see a an afterthought. Whispering, ion S talking, abrupt calls for any nr ieie o.i the table, beginning to ea 1 or cal.in t. be helped the moment seated be ore 110 o dost are served, is in tho highest, bgree rude and vulgar, yet y far to*» > omreon. Some natural fi eling of restrain’ or diffidence may keep he vi un ; n ore q i.et when at a f iend's table, for pin tof the meal at least; but th y tan lay no claim to refinement or good manners if they use poiiienees only wb n aD ong strangers—keep it laid away like a new garment, to bo put on oc asisnally, and to be thrown off as speed! iv as possible because not 1 eing in h„b: - uai use it becomes irksome.

Too High.

The New York Tribune says that n. i old man boarded a train at a stat on on the Pennsylvania P.ailroad, carrying m one hand an umbrella tied up with a shoestring, and in the other an old vali-e that looked as if It might have b< en with lee at Appomattox. He sat down near the dotor, deposited his property beside him, and beckoned to a train boy who was jupt then passing with a basket. “Got anything ter eat, young feller.'* “Sandwiches ham, chicken and tongue. ” “Are they fresh?” “Certainly. * “There aint no ‘certainly’ about it.” objected the old man. “The sandwich business is mighty ticklish in hot weather.” “They’re fresh,” said the boy, impatiently—“only been made an hour.” “I’d rather like a chicken sandwich if I knowed I wouldn’t draw a wing.” “No wings, sir, all clear meat. ” “ ’Spose you let me see one of them sandwiches. ” “Can’t sir; they’re ali wrapped up. Take one?” “How much do you ask for ’em?” “Ten cents.” “I don’twant a dozen; how much for one?” "Ten oeats.” “Great day’n’ mornin’!" gasped the old man. “Ten cents for two bites of bread an’ a smell of chicken! I’m hungry enough to eat a pickaxe, but I’in game, an’ I tell you what, before I payten cents for one little sandwich. I’ll set here and roll my eyes and swoller, all the way to Bawltermer, ”

Winter Food.

Boots asp superior to ensilage as wipter food for stock, but the cost < f ensilage is much less than roots A crop of carrots will be found one of the best foods that can be grown on the farm, but the work of growing the carrots is the great drawback. Ensila, o, on the contrary, can always be rel ed upon as something sure, as the corn may l>e cut at any stage of growth should necessity so demand.

THE FUNNY AUCTIONEER.

Dn One Occasion He Wail Brought to See the Serious Side of a Case. “I was called on once to sell by auctioh a lot of household furniture belonging to a man and his wife who had been married four or five years, ” said an auctioneer in a reminiscent mood. “All I knew about it was that a death somewhere necessitated their removal from my town, and, as they had no money, they were compelled to sell their effects to get enough to move on. Well, I was having a picnic in my young and foolish way, guying and bantering and making brilliant and witty side remarks on the articles as they came undet the hammer. After I had disposed of a lot of stuff a cradle was put up. There were several young men of my acquaintance in 'he crowd, and I smil d at them as I turned the cradle ’round and beg in to rock it, humming a lullaby as 1 did so. ‘Empty is the cradle, baby’s gone,’ I said, and was going on to say something else to get a laugh, when I happened to look down into the face oi a woman close to the platform I was standing on. She was dressed in faded black, evidently given her by some woman larger than she was, and there vas a look in her eyes' that in rde me stop. “She didn’t speak, but as I stoppe ! she looked up at me with thj tears starting, and lifting her hands in a n utc appea of remonstrance no word could describe, she gave a great sob of ag ny and turned away. “ ‘I—I didn't know,’ was all I could stammer in apology. And I didn’t know that it was her baby’s era lie I was selling, and because the (ladle was empty her heart was broken and she could no longer live in the house tha; the baby had left. “No, I didn’t know, nordid the crowd, but they all did pretty soon, and I told them a story that had no fun in it for any heart there, but it took just the same and I got $l5O for that cradle before I was done with it and then gave it back to the poor young mother. ”

Faithful Study.

Balzac’s exquisite wild-flower story, “Le Lys dans la Vallee,” contains a so f.ewhat perplexing reference to a certain herb, the name and description of which do not agree. The explanation, however, does not lay the novelist open to the charge of carelessness, but, on the contrary, shows how painstaking ho was in seeking his‘'material.” His first desire, he says, was to learn the names of all the little herbs we tread upon in country places, along the road sides, in the meadows, everywhere. Ho began by asking his own gardener. “.Oh, monsieur.” said my gardener, “nothing easier to know than that!” “What is this, then, since it is so ea-y?” “Well, some is luzern; this is clover this is sainfoin.” '■>(), no, that isn’t what I mean! I want to kn w what y.>u call all thee little herbs under my seer.

Men Will All Be Midgets.

A French statistician has just cot; ( to the conclusion that the race of n:< n is c ntinuaily decreasing in height, am; that it will not be long before it wil: wholly vanish from the earth. By th t. calculation it is determined that th. stature oil the first men attained tn, surprising average of 16 feet S) inchis Coming down to later times, we fim that at the beginning of our era tin average height of man was 9 feet, aim irt the time of Charlemagne It was feet 8 inches, a fact quite sufficient ti. amount for the heroic deeds of the paladins. Hut the most astonishing result o this scientific study comes from tin application of the same inexorable law o. diminution to the future. The ea! i ulatibn shows that by the year 400 A. D. the stature of trie average mai will be reduced to 15 inches. At thu epoch there will be only liliputians or. the earth. And the conclusion of tin learned statistician is irresistible, thai “the end of the world will certainly ar rive, for the inhabitants will have become so small that they will finally disappear. ”

The Horseshoe Superstition.

The horseshoe superstition is ver. old. The ancients believed that Iron, as a metal, had unknown powers, an would drive nails in their walls to keep off pestiienee. It has always bet? thought uncommonly lucky to findpiece of the metal, and, as horsesho were the orm in which It was most fre quently found, the superstitious regar came to be transferred from tfye material to the shape.

A Frenchman, M. Teynao, has been experimenting, and seriously consider the advisability of bees for carrier pig eons in carrying messages. A tiny piece of paper Is pasted on the back o; the i ee, with a cipher message on i\ and, when the bee returns to it* hive, ‘ can enter only through round perfora tions which will not let Its pape through, so the message is easily found

ROASTED BONED TURKEY.

A Delicious Dish that Slight Do for Christines Day. A roasted boned turkey is something one seldo u sees in these days of caterers. In the old colonial days it was considered the only way so cook it, and many of tho dev. endatils of the o.d Dutch families st 11 ha o it on all ;e tlval occasions. It is an expensive uxury, but, if on e indulge : in you wilt never a iiin wish to t >s e the ordinary sausage mi at stil led, boiled, imi tastioes affair wnieh .s generally served. Select a yo ng lien turkey weighing about ten pounds, and have your butcher bone it. Buy another turkey of lighter weight, and proceed in the following manner: Gut off the white meat from the frame of ilie smalt turkey and the meat from the thighs, put it lira chopling bowl with some bread crumbs wince have beon soaked in cold water —• a half loat'of broa ! wilido —add a small onion, some parsley, some vweot marjorum and two nice, full s.alksof celery and two raw eggs, salt and pepper. Chop Jhis.up very line. Dave at hand some strips of boiled tonguo and small sii.es of boiled ham, some tru , os and button mushrooms cut in slices. Stuff the loned turkey with the contents of the chopping bowl, now and then adding a piece of the ham and tongue and the mushrooms and truffles. These give it an ultra five appearance'when sliced. Se the turkey, when you stuff it, with fine white cord, press it with your hands into nice shape, tie tho wings and s.e-er the legs and roast in a slow ov<-n until done. Put some buttor over tho ureast and baste often. In a large stewpan put all the bones from both turkeys and two calves’ feet, add a s all onion, a carrot, and a lemon, sliced, with seeds taken otlt. Pour throe quarts of water over this and let t ! o 1 three or four houcs, until reduced to one quart;.skim out the bones, add two raw eggs with the broken shells. Let it boil li.teen minutes, dash in a cup of cold water, add a gill of sauteine, then strain through a ilannel bag into a mold; set away in a cold place. This is tho jeliy to serve with the boned turkey.

Peculiar Phosphorescent Lights.

An amusing story is told in connection with Professor Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution, who died some iourtven years ago. It is tol iby a gentleman'Who once traveled from Montreal ro Boston with the Pro essor. lie sa.s hat while they were waiting for a steamer the Professor was talkative and communicative in his <;u et way and was lull of incidents of travel and adventure. ‘Soon the s'eamer appeared in sigh , an I while she was approa lib g us the 1 rufossor sat upon the wharf looking Ireamiiy at her. Presently h - a oils a himself and si;,id: “‘I see a peculiar sparkle of (lie wave < near the : ide ot the steamer where the run sliiies upon her.’ • n va - almost sunset.

larder Justice in Nevada.

"And talking of Nevada,” said a traveler to the ivansas City Times man, “I ao ; my old friend Bill Stone is a candidate for ( overnor on the Democratic ticket. I have known the Stone family a er since they moved to Nevada, and I heard i ill Stone plead his first case. It was a good many years ago, more than twenty, anyway. I do not remember the name of the udge, but a notorious horse-thief was up for trial on a charge of stealing cattle. As ho had no counsel the court appointed Bill 'toneto defend the case, btone took k ) man over to a window and talken u> him for a few minutes, then announced that he was ready for trial. ‘We plead guilty, your’ honor, to the charge against us,’ announced the voung lawyer. The court wasted no tiine in giving a verdict, for horse-stealing was a heinous offen-e in those days in this part of the country, and condemned the man £o fifteen years in the penitentiary. “ ‘But, Judge, we plead guilty,’ yelled Stone, expressions of amaze nent and disappointment alternating on his face. ' ‘Fifteen years,’ repeated the Judge. “ ‘But, Judge, we plead guilty,’ repeated Bill Stone, raising his long arms like windmills. But the Judge was obdurate. “ ‘lf that’s the case,’ said Stone, ‘we will argue the case,’ and he for hw th started in upon the defense. Per thi. iv minutes he argued and pleaded w u that eloquence that is characteristic of him and at the end of his harangee he sat down and watched the ei,e t of h.s words. The Judge smiled and made the sentence five years. Bill Stone had won his first case.”

Swift Justice.

Justice is occasionally swift in Mexico. An American while seated in lie Plaza Mayor, in the .City of Mexico, missed a lield glass. It had been-taken from his pocket by a clever rogue, lie had not recovered from his ama .e ent when three policemen a; preached, h .v----ing in custody the thief, the glass still in his possession. The American was required to go at once with the officers tp-the court. Here the prisoner was promptly tried, and in fifteen minutes from the time of entering the courthouse, he had been sentenced to terve a term of five years in the Mexican army.

How to Keep the Feet Warm.

A life insurance company, whose advice under the circumstances may lie taken as sincere, tells its clients t at the golden rule in cold weather is to keep the extremities warm. The first and most important rule for the carrying out of this idea is never to by tightly shod. Boots or shoes that fit closely prevent the free circulation of the blood by pressure; but when, on the contrary, they do not embrace the foot too firmly, the space left between the shoe and the stocking has a good supply of warm air. The socond rule is never to sit/in damp sho.s. It is often supposed that unless shoes are positively wet it is uuneces-' sary to change them while the feet are at rest. This is a great fallacy, for wh n the least dampness is absorbed into the sole in its evaporation it absorbs the heat from toe foot, and thus perspiration is dangerously checked. This can easily be proved by trying he experiment of neglecting the luie. The feet will be found cold and damp after a few minutes, although on taking off the shoe and examining it, It wiil appear to be quite dry.

Tar and Feathers as a Punishment.

Tar and feathers is at present a sort of a “White Cap” style of punishment, but it is nowadays invoked us a j uuishini nt almost exclusively c< nn< cte,l with some shock of publio decency, or v elation of the seventh commandment, it originated during the Crusades, when the lion-hearted Richard and his companion and collegue, Philip Augustus, •aid down a code of police regulations for both armies. Punishments were easily decided on for fighting or quarreling, or murder, and various other transmissions, and finally It was decree 1 that, as a punishment for stealing, whoever committed theft should have arm pitch poured over his head, which should then be powderel with feathers, and the offender abandoned on the first sh ore.” The caoseof this punish nnt and the application have charged somewhat, but it is the same old iaea of tar and-feathers.

EPISODE IN THE STATE SENATE. Os the 13th the campaign of 1892 was reopened when Mr. Magee from tho committee on finance reported back Mr. Cranor’B bill to repeal the 6-cent benevolent institution tax levy act of 1891 with re«ommendation that tha same he indefinitely postponed. Tdis levy was nude only for tho years of 1891 and 1g92. Ths levy for 1892 has already been madefeand tha tax list turned over to the county trnasnrers on the Ist dey of Jon nary. In many eases the taxes for 1892 had already bean paid. Mr. Oranor’s bill provided for the refunding of the money already paid and for the cancellation of the 6 cent tax levy remaining unpaid. This 6 cent tax levy for the support of the institutions is not s part of ths tax law, but a saparata aot. The report to kill the bill was signed by all the members of theoommittee, republicans included, yat Mr. Loveland, the leader of the minority, moved es a substitute that the bill be passed. Overrated by the ehair. Mr. Oradar, of Delaware, whose eounty increased the looal levy to meke the tex law odions, harangued the senete for five min tea in en attempt to show that the bill was for the relief of the texpayers. He howled about “immediate relief."

Mr. Magee explained that if the bill became a law the oonnty treasurers would hove to refund $377,006 to the taxpayers, leaving tUe benevolent institution without a dollar for support. Ths inmates of the asylums would have to be sent adrift or the state would have to borrow that ain’t. “This is the first law,” he said, “that raised a revenue in excess of the expenditures which enabled the state to go on without borrowing and at the some tim® reduoe the publio debt.” Mr. Oraner made more wild gesticulations about immediate relief end Mr. Loveland desired to know why Governor Matthews had reoommended a reduction of the tax levy. Mr. Magee-“I am not responsible for what Governor Matthews said. He never recommended the refunding of the tax of 1892 ” Mr. Wißhard-L “And we want it distinct-

ly understood that we ore not;respousib e for what Goveri or Chase said.” Mr. Magee—“There never was snch a -pisoeof hari-kari of murderof an inoffeneive infant es was performed by your canons night before lest. Chase 1 ! message was the expression of an honest man after laying down the burden of state. He wanted it to be reoorded in the documents of thelstate that the tax law whioh the democrats passed and whioh the republicans in their helpless state attempted taf repudiate, was a good law in tne inter' at djJtfio people. Gov. Chase Ik of Indiana, and we did him justice in a democratic caucus. I indorse the actions of my own governor whenever they meet my approval. Some things in Governor Matthews’ address 1 approve, and there are others of which I disapprove. ” Mr. Boyd—'“But without qualification you indorsed Chase.” Mr. Magee—“No, sir! I indorse no man who has talked high tariff auo foree billism. I belong to the people. The resolution wns not an indorsement, it was only complimentary for his willingness to tell the truth after ha had been beaten. Why don’t you let your governor aloue? You have made him a'martyr, and that message of his will be worth 6,000 votes to the dsmooratio party in the next oampaign.” Mr. Craner— When are the taxes of 1892 payable?” Mr. Magse— “You aro a lawyer. Bead your statutes. If you do not know you aro uot fit to be here.”

Mr. Magee than spoke of the dishonesty of republican officials who had increased the local taxes over a mill! ;n and s half in the state. Mr. Cranor took the floor to defend officials of his own oounty—the court house rfhg that sent him here. Mr. Magee asked: ‘There were some election oases in your county; didn’t you move to discharge the prisoners?" Mr. Cranor—No, sir; I prosecuted them.” Mr. Magee—What was the result?" Mr. Cranor—"They were aoquitteci. [Laughter.J The witnesses did not appear.? Mr. Magee—“Yes; because your republican sheriff ran them out of the state." Mr. Gilman said he had signed the report, but since he had heard the speeches of his side of the house he would have to vote against the report. This left the old man of the Kankakee in a ridioulous attitude; especially as the senato journal will show nis constituents a report signed by him and a roll call in which his name is recorded against his own report. Mr. Magee (a dressing himself to Mr. Gilman) “Now, mvjold friend, way down in your heart don’t you think the tax law a good one?” J|Mr. Gilman—“Yes; part of it is all right." Mr. Magee—"He says it is a good 1 iw. ” Mr. Boyd—"lf it is why didn’t you pass it ten j< ars ago?” Mr. Magee—"The democrats, like the republicans, were cowardly in this matter. But at last t ay were equal to the emergency and the state debt is increas ing no more,” In closing the debate Mr Magee said: ‘You are trying to get out of the most woithy vote you ever cast. The peoplo approved the law at the polls. Only po litical carps are opposing the law now.— le-, you voted for the law and have been splitting hairs to prove that you didn’t ever since. The Fort Wayne convention adopted a platform drafted by a railroad king, disapproving the law. But why say more? A party that has been damned by the people, a party that has repudiated its own governor and that |is dying of corruption is not qualified to construe the policy of the party placed in power by the people through an unbought election. 1 *

The Remington Press and other socalled independent papers believe that toe county patronage should be let to the lowest bidder.
