For some little time his eyes rested thoughtfully upon the sinewy forearm and wrist all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture marks. Finally lie thrust the sharp point home, pressed down the tiny, piston, and sank back into the velyet-lined armchair with a lons sigh °f satisfaction. Three times a day for many months I had witnessed this performance, but custom had not reconciled my mind to it. On the contrary, from day to day I had become more irritable at the sight- and my conscience swelled nightly within me at the thought that 1 had lacked the courage to protest. Again and again I had registered a vow that I should deliver my soul upon the subject, but there was that in the cool, nonchalant air of my companion which made him thedast man with whom one would care to take anything Approachfag to a liberty. His great powers, hia masterly manner, and the experience which 1 had had of his many extraordinary qualities, all made.me diffident and backward in crossing him. Yet upon that a whether It was the Ik-aune which I had tidten withl my lunch, or the a Iditional' exasperation produced by the extreme deliberation of his manner, 1 suddenly felt that. * could hold out no longer. “Which is it to-day?" i asked—“morphine or cocaine?" He raised his eyes languidly from the old black-letter volume which he had opened, | “It is cocaine,'* ■he said, “a seven per Cent. solution. Would you Care to try it?” “No, indeed." I answered, bfasquely.; “My constitution has not got over the Afghan campaign.yet. I cannot afford to throw any extra strain upon it.” He smiled at my vehemence. “Perhaps you ere right. Watson," he said.. “I suppose that its influence is physically * bad one. I find itj. however, so transcendently stimulating and clarifying to the mind that its secondary action is a matter of small moment." •'But consider!" I said, earnestly. “Count the cost! Yovr.brain may. as you say, be roused and excited, but it fa a pathological and morbid process.’ which involves increased tissuer-change and may at lust leave a permanent weakness. You know, too, what a black reaction comes upon you. Surely the game is hardly worth the candleWhy should yon. for a mere passing pleasure, risk the loss of those great powers with which you have been endowed? Remember that I speak not only as one comrade to another, but as • medical man to one for whose constitution he la to some extent answerable." He did not seem offended. On the contrary, he put his finger-tips together and leaned his elbows on the’ arms of his chair, like one who has a relish for conversation. “My mind,” he said, “rebels at stagnation.

I crave for mental exaltation. That is why 1 have chosen my own particular profession—or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world." “The only unofficial detective?" I< said, raising my eyebrows. “The only unofficial consulting detective," he answered. “I am the last and highest court of appeal in detection. When Gregson or Lcstrade or Athefaey Jones are oaf of their depths —which, by the way, is their normal state —the matter is laid before me. I examine the data, as an expert, and pronounce a specialist’s opinion. I claim no credit in such eases. My name figures in no newspaper. The work itself, the pleasure of findfag a field for my peculiar powers, is my highest reward. But you have yourself had some experience of my methods of work in the Jefferson Hope case." “Yea, indeed." said I, cordially. "I was never so struck by anything in my life. I even embodied it in a small brochure with the scmcwhat fantastic titls of ‘A Study in Scarlet?" He shook his head sadly. “I glanced over it," said be. “Honestly, I cannot congratulate you upon it- Detection is. or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. You have atfampted to tinge it with romanticism, which produce* much the same effect •a ts yoa worked • tar»u«T« aa

elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid." “But the romance was there," I remonstrated. “I could not tamper with the facts." “Some facts should be suppressed, or at least a ji.st sense of proportion should be observed in treating them. The only point in the case which deserved mention was the curious analytical reasoning from effects to causes by which I succeeded in unraveling it.” 1 was annoyed, at this criticism of a work which hod been specially designed to please him. I confess, too. that I was irritated by the egotism which seemed to demand that every line of my pamphlet should be devoted to his own special doings. Moira than once during the years that I had lived with him in Baker street I bad obr served that a small vanity underlay my companion's quiet and didactic manner, I remark, however, but sat nursing my wounded leg. I had had a •b rail bullet through it sometime before, and though it did not prevent me from walking. It ached wearily at every change of the weather. •’My practice has extended recently to the continent," said Holmes,”after awhile, filling' up hia old brier-root pipe. “I was consulted last week by Francois Le Villard, who, as you probably know, has come rather to the front lately in the French detective service. He has ail the Celtic power of quick intuition, but he is deficient in the wide range of exact knowledge which is essential to the higher devel-' opmenta of his art. The case was con-; ccrned with a will, and possessed some f utures of interest. I was able to refer him to two parallel cases, the one at, Riga in 185”, and the Other at St. Louts in 1871, which have suggested to him the true solution. Here is the lett< r. whi di L had this morning, acknowledging my assistance." He tossed Aver, «i he apjke, crumpled sheet- ofW«>reign notepaper. I glanced my eyes ; down it. catching a profusion of notes lof admiration, with stray “roagni- ■ fiques," ‘‘coup de mailres” and “tours dr force," all testifying to the ardeiit admiration of the Frenchman. “He speaks as a puj>il to hU master,”. Mid I. ’ “Oh, he rates my assistance too highly.” said Sherlock Holmes, lightly. “He has considerable gifts himself. He possesses two out of the three quail-' ■•4iry for the ideal I He has the power of observation and ! that , f deduction. He Is only wanting in knowledge; and that maj - come in t : He is now translating my small works into French." “Your works?” “Oh, didn't you know?” he cried, laughing. “Yes, I have been guilty of several monographs. They are all upon technical subjects. Here, for example. is one ‘Upon the Distinction Between the Ashes of the Various Tobac-cos-s.' In it I enumerate a hundred and forty forms of cigar, cigarette and pipe tobacco, with colored plates illustrating the difference in the ash/ It is a point which is continually turning up in criminal trials, and which is sometimes of supreme importance as a clew. If you can say definitely,for example. that some murder has been done by a man who was smoking an Indian lunkah, it obviously narrows your field of search. To the trained eye there is as much difference between the black ash of a Trichinopoly and the white fluff Os bird’s-eye as there is between a cabbage and a potato." “You have an extraordinary genius for minutiae." I remarked. “I appreciate their importance. Here is my monograph upon the tracing of footsteps, with some remarks upon the uses of plaster of Paris as a preserver of impresses.. Here, too, is a curious little work upon the influence of a trade upon the form of the hand, with the lithotypes of the hands of slaters, sailors, cork-cutters, compositors, weavers and diamond polishers. That is a matter of great practical interest to the scientific detective, —especially in cases of unclaimed bodies, or in discovering the antecedents of criminal*. But I weary you with my hobby." “Not at all," I answered, earnestly. “It is of the greatest interest to me, especially since I have had the opportunity of observing your practical application of it. But you spoke just now of observation and deduction. Surely the one to some extent implies the other.” “Why. hardly,” he answered, leaning back luxuriously la hi-- arm-chair, and sending up thick blue wreaths from his pipe. "For example, observation shows me that you have been to the Wigmore street post office this morning. but deduction lets me know that when there you despatched a telegram.” .“Right!” sold I. “Right on both points! But I confess that I don't see how yon arrived at it. / It was a sudden impulse upon my part, and I have mentioned it to no one." “It is simplicity itself," he remarked, chuckling at my surprise—“so absurdly simple that an explanation is superfluous; and yet it may serve to define the limits of observation and of deduction. Observation tells me that you have a little reddish mould adhering to your instep. Just opposite the Seymour street office they have taken up the pavement and thrown up some earth which lies in such away that it is difficult to avoid treading in it in entering. The earth fa -of this peculiar reddish tint which fa found, as far as I know, nowhere else in the neighborhood. So much is observation. The rest fa deduction.” “How, then, did yon deduce the telegram?" “Why, of course I knew that you had not written a letter, since I sat opposite to you all morning- I see also in your open desk thrife that you have a sheet of stamps and a thick bundle of post-cards. What eould you go intd the post office for, then, but to send a wire? Eliminate aU other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth.” “fa thfa case it certainly fa an," I raplM, »ttar n ttMto ibmU He

thing, however, fa, as you *ay, es the simplest. Wsuld you think me impertinent if I were to pat your theories to a more severe tast?” “On the contrary," he answered, “it would prevent me from taking a Second dose of cocaine. I should be delighted to look into any problem which you might submit to me." “1 have heard you say that it fa difficult for a man to have any object ih daily use without leaving the impress of his individuality upon it in such a way that a trained observer might read H. Now, I have here a watch which has recently come into my possession. Would you have the kindness to let me have an opinion upon the character of habits of the late owner?" I handed him over the watch, with some slight feeling of amusement in my heart, for the test was, as I thought, an impossible one, and I intended it as a lesson against the somewhat dogmatic tone Which he occasionally assumed. He balanced the watch in hfa hand, gazed hard at the dial, opened the back, and examined the works, first with his naked eyes and then with a powerful convex lens. I could hardly keep from smiling at his crestfallen face when he finally snapped the case to and handed it beck. “There are hardly any data," he remarked. “The watch has been recently cleaned, which robs me of my mqpt suggestive facts." “You are right," I answered. “It was cleaned before being sent to me.” In my heart I accused my companion of putting forward a most lame and impotent excuse to cover his failure. What data could he expect from an uncleaned watch? “Though unsatisfactory my research, has not been entirely barren." he observed, staring up at the ceiling with dreamy, lack-luster eyas. "Sublet to I JA . ■ n M.'. ts.-. ViWx,/wi i \li . I *',< 1 urnwumf A MX BALAXCKD THE WATCH -IX HIS HAXB. your correction, I should judge that the watch belonged, to your elder brother, v*ho inherited it from your father." “That you gather, no doubt, from the H. W. upon the back?" “Quite so. The W. suggests your own name. The date of the watch fa ncarlj’ fifty years back, and the initials aFe as old as the watch; so it was made for the last generation. Jewelry usually descends to the eldest son, and he is most likely to have the same name as the father. Your father has, if I remember right, been dead many yeara. It has, therefore, been in the hands of your eldest brother.” “Right* so far,” said L “Anything else?” “lie was a man of untidy hablta—very untidy and careless. He was left with good prospects, but he threw away his chances, lived for some time in poverty, with occasional short intervals of prosperity, and finally, taking to drink, he died. That fa all I can gather." I sprang from my chair and limped impatiently about the room with considerable bitterness in my heart. “This is unworthy of yon. Holmes," I said. “I could not have believed that you would have descended to this. You have made inquiries history of my unhappy brother, and you now pretend to deduce this knowledge in seme fanciful way. You cannot expect me to believe that you have read nil this from his old watch! It is unkind, and, to speak plainly, has a touch of charlatanism in it.” “My dear doctor,” said he, kindly, “pray accept my apologies. Viewing the matter as an abstract problem, I had forgotten how personal and painful a thing it might be to you. I assure you, however, that I never even knew that you had a brother until you handed me the watch." “Then how in the nasne of all that fa wonderful did you get these facta? They are absolutely correct in every particular.” “ Ah, that is good luck. I could only ■ay what was the balance of probability. I did not at all expect to be so accurate." !*But it was not mere guess work?” “No»/no; 1 never guess. It is a shocking —destructive to the logical faculty. What seems strange to you fa only so, because you do not foUow my train ol thought or observe the small facta upon which large inferences may depend. For example, ! began by stating that your brother was careleao. When you observe the lower part of that watch ease you notice that It is not only dinted in two places, but it is eut and marked all over from the habit of keeping other hard objects, such aa coins or keys, in the same pocket. Surely it is no great feat to assume Hurt a man who treats a-fifty-guinea watch ao cavalierly must be a careless man. Neither is it a very far-fetched inference that a man who Inherits one article of such value is pretty well pro tided for in other respeota" . -J I nodded to show that I followed hit reasoning.

But Jemmy went to the bad, was struck off the rolls, and lived on what he could get from old acquaintances. Onedaylie met hfa master and asked for a shilling, “Gordon," thundered the master, ‘li you could show me a greater scoundrel than yourself I would give yon half a crown.” and he stalked stlffiy away io hfa rooms. In half an hour's time the butler announced that Mr. Pompous the esquire beadle, wished to see the master. Now, the master had a special detestation of the beadle, who, when admitted curtly asked what he wanted, replied: “Mr. Gordon informed me that you desired to see ma." Said the master: “Gordon has made an aas ofyou!" In ten minutes more the butler came again, grinning, and aaidi “Mr. Jemmy Gordon has called and aaya you owa him half a Brown,

FARM AND GARDEN. THE CROP MOVEMENT. Good Ro.»d* Would Distribute It Equally ThrougHodt the Yeas; With the approach Os another CrOphkudiing season and the heavy movement of tonnage incident to the large prospective yield, comes anew the subject of good roads as an auxiliary io a more equal distribution of movement throughout the year, says the Railway Review. Under present conditions producers and carriers alike suffer from the congestion which is necessitated at certain seasons bf the year by the demands of farm Work on the one hand nnd the im passable roads on the other. (Farmers, perhaps more than any otherrindustrial class, have their hours of regulated by the weather. During rains or immediately thereafter —providing the rains be long continued—it is practically impossible for them to work. The fields are tn no condition for cultivation and the roads are, in a majority of eases, itripassable, so that in the course of the year the farmer is subjected to many hours of enforced idleness. The common carrier is also similarly affected principally, however, as a result of the effect of the wet weather On the farmer rather than upon himself. During the period of dry weather, when crop work is imperative, and roads are good, agricultttral products are rushed to the initial markets with the utmost dis|mtch, filling the warehouses and creating a demand for cars that cannot readily be supplied, if at all. It is no uncommon sight to see at many of the western shipping points numerous 'wagon loads of grain standing all day and oftentimes at night, because of the lack of. transportation facilities to carry off the accumulation with which the various warehouses are already filled. Indeed, instances have been known where - v\ agons were thus obliged to wait three' or four days before they could be unloaded. The remedy for much Os this congestion is to be found in the construction of good roads of such a character as not to be easily affected by the weather. Some railroad companies, appreciating thy value of such construction, have offered to haul the necessary material from the quarries or other sources of supply* to the various ’distributing points nt • extremely low rates, and in some cases without charged. It is probable that the adoption of a rule of free Carriage within reasonable limits by all roads would prove a profitable undertaking. The advantage of a regularly distributed delivery throughout the year wotijdr largely offset the extra expense incurmi by such a regulation. If to the free material could be added the-employment ,of criminals upon the roads, instead of using them in competition with the artisans outside of our penitentiaries, an additional benefit would result. It is. of course, admitted that the adoption of.this plan would increase the expense of the maintenance of the various institutions of correction and punishment throughout the United States, hut that would cheerfully be met by the property owners, in view of the larger advantages growing out of road improvement. It would also do away with the competition between criminal and other labor, a competition that is now in some quartera severely felt and bitterly tissailed. This question is one which should be generally taken up by the local papers of each community. It is believed that ' railway managers are sufficiently advised of the advnqjtage of such a movement to willingly;, cooperate with the local authorities iyherever any welldirected effort is made. The work will necessarily make slow progress, and if therefore cannot be too early com - ineneed. CHEAP GREENHOUSE. Any Person Handy with Tools Can I’ut Vp Our Without Trouble. There seems to lie a great demand for a c heap greenhouse. .Many jieople who raise plants for home use, or sale on a limited scale, would like to have a plant«hbuse of some kind, but fear the expense. The little greenhouse at Woodlcanks gives entire satisfaction, but it is hy no means as cheaply con- ' CHEAP HOMEMAPE GBEESHOCTE. atructed as it might be. For people who cannot do better, and must avoid every expense possible, esjveeially also that involved by the plan of hot water beating. I think I can recommend the house here, illustrated (cut made after an illustration appearing in Canadian Horticulturist.) Any person handy w ith tools could put up the frame work. The material is aimosi wholly scantling. 2 by 4 inches, and cheap boards. The building should be double-boarded, with paper between the two Ordinary hot-bed sash can serve for the roof, and the side w indows may also be bought ready made in any sash and Hind factpry. The heating may be done by a simple flue, the fire-place (for coal or wood), being in the northwest corner, add the chimney in the east end. Our Canadian friend, who furnished the idea, uses a house of this kind as a sleeping-room at night, and a sitting and working room by day. The posts or studding along the front side are 2 by 4 inches, 6 feet high* and set just far enough apart to allow the windows to come between, so no window casings are used. The house is 10 feet wide, tind heated with a 2% foot box stove that takes in very^coarse wood. The stove pipe runs akmg the back or north side of the building, behind the staging that is under the roof window s.—American Gardening. The Ethical SMe es Dairy ia*.

germ=life The doctors rell us, now-a-days, that disease germs are everywhere; in the air, in the water, in our food, clothes, money ; that they get into our bodies, live there, thrive and grow, if they find anything to thrive on. Consumption is the destruction of lung-tissue by germs where the lung is too weak to conquer them. The remedy is strength—vital force. Scott's Emulsion, with hypophosphites, means the adfustment of lung"’strength to overcome germ-life. It is fighting the germ with the odds in our favor.
