Arrest of st Pretty llrncelet
T’libf.
*‘Tbo detective who arrested t) a;
foeign defaulter the other day didn’t
have tnue.'i of a clew,” retnai ked a re
porter to one ot Detroit's ablest dele.-
tivts. “The peculiar habit the fellow
itad of placing his finger lengthwise
along the side of bis nose, in a con
templative maimer, was the only thing
that gave him away.”
•‘The fact that he entered his real
name on the register of ti e hotel had
very much to do with it," replied the
dectective. “1 once spo ted a criminal
with less of a clew; Lower, 1 must add
that 1 stumbled on her by the merest
accident.”
“A woman, eh ?” asked the reporter,
instinctively reaching for his note
book.
“Yes, and I lave sometimes thought
that a woman is harder to ‘trip up’
than a man. You see, you can’t follow
them everywhere because they are so
dainty in their ways and so secluded
in their habits.”
“A young girl was she ?” asked the
reporter.
“And as pretty as a picture. She
looked too ‘goody goody’ to steal even
a pin. A lady who lives not five
blocks from where we are now sittiug
had a diamond bracelet stolen from her
room. It was worth a thousand dollars,
and what was strange about the affair,
the mate to it was not taken, though
the two lay side by side on her bureau.
The lady put the case my hands. She
suspected a child’s nurse whom she
had engaged one day, and who disap
peared the next.”
“She knew that her name was Maiy,
and that she was still in her teens, and
that was about all she did know. She
could not. describe he girl’s features,
except in a general way, and was not
post.ve as to the color of either her
eyes or her hair. After persistent
questioning I got from her one of the
peculiarities of tne girl. Short though
her stay had been, she saw hi r on three
different occassions seated by the win
dow. She was looking out of it wit v
an abstracted air, and each time had
the fingers of her tight hand pressed
on her left wrist as if counting the pul
sations.”
“That wasn’t much of a clew.” re
marked the reporter.
“Not unless 1 happened to stumble
upon her in one of her absorbed
moods,” replied the detective. “For
tunately, I did that very thing. 1
might add, too, that the lady allowed
me to have the other bracelet, which
was rather curious in its workmanship.
Inside ef ten days l had the girl in my
; clutches.”
“Chance must nave favored you'”
suggested the reporter.
“To a great extent, of course,” was
the admission. “I had an idea that
she had not left Detroit, and so I was
on the alert wherever I went. On the
first occassion I saw her she sat oppo
site to me in a street car. It was rant
ing and she was looking out of the win
dow, An absorbed look crept into her
face and presently 1 saw the fingers of
her right hand glide to her left wrist.
It might have been accidental, you
know, but I was pretty sure of my
prey.”
“Did you follow her?” asked the re
porter.
“Of course I did. She was not a
child’s nurse then, but was employed
in a paper box factory. I followed
her from the factory to her boarding
house, around which I lingered for
three or four days, net positive enough
to make the arrest. On Saturday af
ternoon 1 saw hor leave the house with
another girl, i followed them, and we
all three brought up at one of the
theatres where we purchased tickets
for matinee.”
“ ‘East Lynne' was on the hoards,
and twice during the play I saw her
mechanically assume the attitude pc
culiai with her. When the perform
ance was over 1 touched her on the
shoulder as we were passing through
the corridor.”
“ ‘Beg pardon,’ I said, ‘but didn’t
you drop this?’ and I held out the
other bracelet.”
“She turned around and when her
eyes rested on the biacelet she was un
able to repass a scream. She grew
deathly white, but ralied in a mo
ment.”
“ ‘Yes,’ she quietly said. ‘How stu
pid in me to drop it and how fortunate
in you to find it!”
“ ‘Mary,’ I gravely said, and she
started when I mentioned her name,
‘if you dropped a bracelet like this we
had better look for it, don’t you think ?
This is the one you were kind enough
to leave on Mrs. I) ’s dressing bu
reau when you stole the other one.”
“She would have lallen in a swo<m,
but I caught her. She ralied again
and looked around, but her friend had
deserted her.”
“•Must Igo to jail ?' she piteously
asked, her face white with fear, her
arms stretched full length in front of
her. the tips of her fingers on her left
wrist.”
“ ‘For a little while, at least,’ I com
miseratingly said It will all depend
on Mrs. I leniency. Mary, why
did you steal ?”
“•Oh. vvhv does one do anything
that is v. icked ?' She despairingly
asked.”
•‘Was she tried and sente ced ?” iri
quiied the leported.
“No. She returned the bracelet,
and Mrs 1). refused to prosecute her.
The girl reformed and afterward mar

So you have l ecided on learning a
irade. Good. Learn it. Don’t go
and waste your time for six months or
a year trying to find out why you were
evil- born. Think tiie matter over
fir-t.
You ate satisfied you would make a
good painter. Good. Go right into the
'business to win. Having made up
vour mind, don’t hall'for a moment
Be determined to make the best paint
er that ever liver in the United States.
This may not be an easy matter to
do, but then there is nothing in this
world worth learning that is obtaiueb
without effort. Remember you have
the making of yourself in this matter.
Mother and father have given you a
good constitution, skillful hands, capi
tal eyesight and glorious youth —
splendid capital to begiu life with.
Just think of it. Here is a big
world all ol vour own, if you chose to
take it, and with your health, youth
and strength to start up with.
Boy, you are a lucky dog, ’and it
you dou’t win and become a tip top
painter before you are twenty-five
years old, it Will be all your own fault.
It’s worth something more than money
to he at the top of your trade.
Every one can’t be a good workman.
You can if you only try. It is no
trouble whatever to be a "Botch.” It
is as easv as being ii tramp. “Botches"
often become tramps. Now you are
not going to be a “Botch.” I see by
the sparkle in your eye that you don’t
admire “Botchcraft.”
That’s right. Be a man, and form
a resolution to “learn well and thor
oughly all about your trade that is
worth learning.” This is the way to
get at the top of the heap There is
lots of room for you on top.
You may get there just as well as
anybody else if yon but strive. Aim
high, and though you may not bring
down an eagle you m'ay .pluck s, me of
his best feathers. *
The best fellow to help you is your
self. Trust him. lie will always
stand by you, and if you do him jus
tice, he will prove a good and lasting
friend.
While at work, “work.” You owe
it to yourself to he industrious and.
steady; to your employer to study his
interest, which is in a measure your
own. Never idle away a momotit that
you can place to your employer’s in
tererst during working hours. Read
up all that you can pertaining to your
trade.
Yeu will find this interesting, and in
time yon will rather read concerning
your trade than of scalping Indians or
wild cowboys.
It -ivon’t hurt you to join the Y. M,
G. A. One or two nights spent in the
society rooms will do you good, and as
there is generally a good supply of
books and magazines there, you will
not he as “clever” as I think-you are,
if you do not win something from them.

Xhe Jtletljod* of Kiicee**.
There is no modern sentiment that
more completely strikes at the root of
wholesome sentiment and of national
and individual prosperity than the idea
that many young persons are growing
up with, that industry, especially man
ual industry, is not quite respectable.
Whether idleness takes the form of
lounging and street gossip that begets
all kinds -f vices or of dreaming senti
mentalism that wastes life in vague
fancies, or of the busy illness that oc
cupies itself in attending to other peo
ple’s business, all is pernicious in its
effects as it is culpable in character.
The want of habit and method in
early life is answerable for many of the
evils to manhood. The youth accus
tomed to regular and industrious em
ployment will seldom lose such habit
in after life, while those who have been
suffered to pass a desultory childhood
will require extra fortitude and strength
of character to become persevering, en
ergetic and industrious in after life. A
determination of character, a firmness
of principles, which tries to do that
which is right instead of that which is
temporarily agreeable, is the great
safe guard against evil. Impulsive ex
ertions may sometimes produce mag
nificent deeds; but without methodical
and steady resolutions, without system
and habit and strengtli or will, but lit
tle permanent good or usefulness is ev
er accomplished. It is only in the cul
tivation and improvement of our facul
ties that we can properly enjoy any of
them. The large number of instances
show the vice of idleness to be the re
sulUof luxurious habits, which break
down the native energy of character.
The person who regards momentary
gratification as the chief good will
soon lose the vigor arid Enterprise nec
essary to undertake and perseverance
to carry through any scheme requiring
industry and selfcommand. Some, from
paucity of ideas, lock enterprise and
become torpid, being unable to see the
utility of proper undertaking; while
others overwhelmed with avast concep
tion of what is to be done, sit down in
the inaction of despair. Others begin
with earnestness and hope, bur, lacking
perseverence, are intimidated by the
first difficulty, and accomplish nothing
because they have not the courage, to
j face obstacles. Still others waste their
(energies in trying to keep others from
succeeding, and have nouc* left with
which to secure their own success.

\\ hen the confederates came swarm
ing across the Crew farm to meet us
on Malvern hill, we knew they were
coming to death and defeat. We had
been driven hack from the Chickahotn
liiy, step hy step and day by day. fight
ing tierce battles at every rallying point,
but this was the end. Malvern hill,
crowded with troops and bristling with
cannon, was impregnable. 1 was pes
ted on tiie point looking towards the
Crew Utilise, in the dry l ed of a creek.
It was a capital riile pit, and we were
packed in there so thick that we scarce
ly had dhow room. As the legions in
grav attacked, our rapid fire, assisted
by the batteries- above us. mi enough
j,o demoralize their lines without the
infantry, higher up. firing a gun.
Miigruder must have been Insane
i that day, to send the men to thtir death
across the open field as he did. Wo
could see them come out of the forest
in splendid formation, and as they got.
the order to advance their step was
lika clock work. There was a mead
ow wi’h hardly a stamp in it stretcii
away before us for half a mile, and the
eon ederaies hadn't the slightest cover.
Being so low down, we could see he
low the smoke, and it was enough to
make our (lesh creep to see the havoc
worked by our shells boiore the lines
yin in o within gun range. The man on
my left laid down his gun and prayed
God that the confederates would go
back and thus put an end to the horri
ble work. Then, when they pushed
on and got within range, there was a
flame all along our mile front —flame
after flame—and not a confederate got
within a stones throw.
The last charge m idu just, at twilight,
was the most desperate of all. The
lines started with a yell and charged of
tint run, and though hundreds went
down, other hundreds kept on. We
shattered and scorched and withered
them with owr musketry lire, and I Ii
nally heard some one sound "retreat.!”
Wo sprang up, gave them a last valley,
and then dashed forward a few rods
with the bayonet. Out of the smoke
and daikness suddenly appeared a fig
ure. There was a blaze, and a man on
my right went down, shot in the slioul
der. There was a wliiz-z z ! and the butt
ol a musket jus' cleared my head and
knocked the man on my left fiat to the
earth. I had my musket at a charge,
when a voice called out ;
I ; “Hotel on. I surrender!”
j I went forward and took hold of him,
and who or what do you suppose lie
was? A boy not fifteen years old, and
as pale faced and gentle-spoken as a
girl. More than that, ho was wounded
on the side and the leg and in the
head. Wo had them driven back to
stay, and our hoys were cheering and
ye'ling, and i took the boy on tiiy hack
beyond the creek into our lines. He
must have been suffering painfully from
his wounds, hut he never uttered a
groan. 1 heaped two f r three blankets
together and made him a bod, but J
could get no one to do for him- Theie
were dead and wounded men almost
without number around us, and that
last desnerate charge had hardly been
driven back when McClellan issued his
orders to fall back to the river under
cover of the gun boats. As my brigade
was nearest to the eonfed* rate lines,
we were the last to move, ami it was
long after midnight before we got the
word.
Meanwhile 1 had inspected tie hoy’s
wounds and soothed him as best 1
could, it was plain that ho was fatal
ly hurt, and when he realized this, he
said ;
“I I don’t care for myself, hut
mother —poor old mother? And sister
Mary—and little Jim. It will break
their hearts.”
Bye and bye he fell into a sort of a
stupor, which lasted for half an hour,
then he roused himself and exclaim
ed.
“It was a glotious charge! We
knew that we were going to death, hut
never a man hung hack—never a m m
lost the step. Were they driven
back ?”
“Yes.”
“But we reached your lines?”
“Yes, a few.”
' “And 1 was one ?”
“Yes, |>oor hoy. Never a one came
nearer than you.”
“That’s grand ! They said 1 would
he afraid hut I wasn’t. I didn’t feel
it when I was hit. We were on the
double quick. 1 was cheering. Hur
rah! Hurrah!”
Half an hour later lie was dead.
There were three of us bending over
him, when he suddenly sat up, waved
his arrn and sought to cheer, hut the
blood cliok* d him and he fell hack
dead.
Twenty long years after, in a Geor
gia farm house, 1 found his mothei, old
and bent and gray, and little Jim, now
grown to manhood, and sister Mary,
now a woman, wife and mother. 'I hey
knew he fell at Malvern hill, hut lie
had been buried among the unknown,

A citizen of Eaton ton smokes about
twelve pounds of tobacco yearly in a
pipe that he declares is over 200 years
old. This leads a mathematical per
son to calculate that if that were tire
average amount used in the pipe since
its first day, 2,400 pounds of the weed
have been burned in its howl, and if
the first sl2 bad been put out at com
pound interest at the rate of 10 per i

“We would lie pleiu ed, moreover, to
have the young man, who is standing
outside tlie door, come in and make cer

That would lie a great deal better than
opening the door halt an inch und expos

A boy came running into a store on
Monroe avenue the other day and call
ed out:
"Does any one here own that horse
around the corner ?’’
“I own a horse,” replied a man as
he came forward, “and I hitched him
around the corner.”
“A big bay ?”
“Yes.”
“Hitched to a buggy ?”
“Yes.”
“Well, lie’s run away.”
•Has, eh ? Which way did he go?”
“Up Croghan.”
“Did eh? Ho ought to have taken
a wood-paved street. Did he run veiy
fast.
“Awful fast.”
“That’s good. 1 always thought he
could run. Well, I’m much obliged,
and here is a dime. I’ve got to go
down town, arid if the horse should cir
cle around back have him wait for me.”

Cliewod by ft Calf.
A well known Washington mer
chant tolls tho following story on him
self: Ho was bom clear up in tho
mountains ne:ir the Tonnessoo line.
His mother died when ho was two
months old and his father and grand
mother “raised” him by hand in their
lonely cabin on a mountain clearing,
miles from tho nearest neighbor. lie
was clad in a single 11 owing garment
on tho Mother Hubbard style, made of
homespun towcloth, which was
lengthened as years added length to
his limbs.
lie never saw a girl until he was 16.
That year a terriblo drought struck in
and fiis father had to go ten miles
down the “cove” to get his corn
ground So ho yoked up the steers
and throw- several bags of com in the
bottom of tho cart. The boy, in his
peculiar garment, climbed in and sat
on tho bags. Ho was going to a now
and far off country and overy sight
was a wonder. Arriving at tho null,
ho watched with curious interest the
corn making its way from tho hopper
into tho heart of tho stone and then
spurt out in warm white jets into the
trough. lie went outside and saw the
water pour over and turn tho huge
overshot wheel, and peered with a
sensation of fear into tho dark, mossy
cavern into which the wheel was
forovor rotrontiug.
On rising at a little distance ho spied
a log cabin, and shortly wandered
over through tho brush in its direc
tion. A rail fence stopped his prog
ress a couplo of rods from the door
way, and lie leaned over and looked.
There, sitting outsido tho door on a
bench wero two girls. One was spin
ning wool and tho other knitting.
They woro tho most beautiful things
lie had over seen and lie nearly died
right there. They saw him anti burst
out laughing at his rcmarkablo ap
pearance. lio didn’t know what to
do, but thought it was probably tho
proper thing to stare at them and
laugh book, which ho did with inter
est. This mutual entertainment kopt
up for some ton minutes, when onoof
1 110 girls laughed so hard she rolled off
the bench. Ho thought that was
queer, but just then ho felt something
cold on his legs.
lie turned uround. /Vs ho did so
both girls shrieked with laughter and
ran into tho houso. Ho found that
tho cold thing on his legs was tho
muzzle of a bull calf that was chewing
away vigorously on what wus left of
tho roar of his dress, which had boon
shockingly mutilated by tho animal
during tliofow minutes no was staring
at tho girls.
Ilolias soon moro girls since and
beam their smiles with greater eaua
nimity. Ho is also one of tho cost
dressed men in Washington, but that
experience witli thobullcalf and tho
girls -will never bo effaced from liis
memory.—Washington Post.
•Starving the Teeth.
Tcofli aro just ns easily starved to
dcatli as tho stomach. In ono way it
is a blessing to have been born of poor
parents. What food tho poor givo
their children is of tho varioty that
goes to make strong bones and teeth.
It is tho outsido of all tho grains, of
oil tho cereal foods, that contains tho
carbonato and phosphato of limo and
traces of other earthy salts which
nourish tho bony tissues and build tho
framo up.
If wo do not furnish to tho teeth of
tho young that pabulum thoy require
they cannot possibly bo built up. It is
tho outside of corn, oats, wheat, bar
ley and tho like, or tho bran, so called,
that wo sift away and feed to tho
swino, that the teeth uctuully requiro
for their proper nourishment. Tho
wisdom of man has proved his folly,
shown in overy succeeding generation
of teeth, which become moro fragilo
and weak. These flouring mills arc
working destruction upon tho teeth of
every man, woman and child who
partuko of their flno bolted flour.
They sift out tho carbonates und the
pliosphutes of limo in order that they
may provide that lino white flour
which is proving a whitened sepul
cher to teetla
Oatmeal is ono of tho best foods for
supplying the teeth with nourishment.
It makes tho dcotino ccmcntum and
enamel strong, flintliko and ablo to
resist all forms of decay. If you have
children nover allow any white bread
upon your table. Bread mode of wholo
wneat ground, not boljod, so that the
bran wnicli contains tho minute quan
tities of lime is present, is best To
mako a good, wholesome, nourishing
bread tako two bowls of wheat meal
and one bowl of white or bolted flour,
and mako by tho usual process. Noth
ing is superior to brown oread for bone
and tooth building. This is made out
of ryo meal and corn meal. Baked
beans, too. have a considerable supply
of these lime salts and should be on
your table, hot or cold, three times a
week. In brushing tho teeth always
brush up and down from tho gums in
stead of across. Brush away from the
gum and on tho grinding surface of
die teeth. —American Analyst
Process of Heating Dead liodles.
In reply to a question of an old sub
scriber, we would state that Dr. C. H.
Harvey explained his dry process for
tho treatment of dead bodies at the
International Congress of Medical
Jurisprudence in New York. In his
proposed mausoleum decomposition
is brought about by currents of dry
air which absorb the gases and liquids
of the body. These gases are after
ward destroyed by fire, but the bodv
itself remains for an indefinite period
in dry and perfect preservation. Dr.
Harvey’s paper more particularly re
ferred to the preservation of medico
legal evidenco in criminal cases by
this disposition of the dead. Sucn
evidenco was retained by this method
of burial, he said, more completely
than by any other disposition of the
body. Tho method alio avoids the
loatlisomo features of earth burial.
It is freer from such features than
cremation. The sepulchers are to be
constructed on a massive scale, to last
for many; years, and they can be
placed within the limits of populous
cities, it is said, without detriment to
health.—Herald of Health.
For rheumatic and neuralgic pains,
rub in Dr. J. H. McLean’s Sarsapa
rilla. Yon will not suffer long, but will
be gratified with a speedy and effective
cure.
