A DETECTIVE’S EXPERIENCE. His Successful Indertaking and Es¬ cape from au Impending Fate. (Buffalo, X. F., Newt.) One morning several years ago, iust as the dull gray light was beginning to s-how itself in the east, a small band of men might have been seen deployed about a house on Ferry street, either in Bull alo. There was nothing special in the dress or appearance of the men to indicate their intention, but it was plain that they had business of importance on hand. Suddenly a man appeared at one of the windows, took in the situation at a glance, and. swinging himself outward with wonder¬ ful quickness, scaled the roof of the house. This inan was Tom Pa’Iard, the notorious counterfeiter: and. armed to the teeth and fully realizing his situation, he defied .justice and the officials below him. Some of the ofii cers, knowing the desperate character of the nian, kil.’ed, proposed but to shoot him until he was one of the numbpr promptly pro - tested, anil declared tnat if his brother off> cers would ass st him to ascend he would cap¬ ture the man alive. Accordingly he b -gan the difficult and dangerous task and sue . ceeded in bringing his prisoner to the ground in safety. The man who accomplished this task was Mr. Thomas Curtin, the present superintend¬ ent of the city police of Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Curtin is a man who is known by every prominent detective and policeman in America, and he stands pre-eminently in the front of his profession. Quiet and gentle¬ manly in appearance and manners, he pos¬ sesses a courage, combined with marked phy¬ sical powers, that make him the terror of evildoers and the pride of law-abiding citi¬ zens. Few people can realize, however, the trials, exposures, and even privations, to which the members of every municipal police and fire department are exposed. Compelled to lie the on duty at uncertain hours, subjected to most inclement weather, and often necessitated by the nature of thejr duties to protracted and physical undertakings, they en.Tire a ner¬ vous strain that is terrible. Such was the experience of Mr. Curtin in for¬ mer days; and it is not surprising that he found himself suffering from a mysterious physical trouble. In relating his ex[ierience to a representative when of this paper he said: “ At times I was o:i duty I would feel an unaccountable weariness and lack of energy. My seemed appetite was also uncertain and my head dull and heavy. I did not fully understand these troubles, but supposed, ns from most malar people suppose, I tried that I was suffering a. to throw off the feel¬ ing, but it it, would but not found go. I thought 1 might overcome 1 was mistaken, anil 1 finally became s> badly off that it wa almost impossible to attend to my duties, have known any number of men in the police and lire been departments of this countr y who have afflicted as 1 was, and I doubt not tli re are to-day hnndre Is similarly troubled who, like myself, did not know the eats.*, or really what ailed them.

Choose sound grapes, not and fully weigh ripe; pick them weigh from equal the stems quantity of them; au sugar, with and put it into the preserving pan a cupful of cold water to each pound; let the sugar melt and slowly boil, re¬ moving all scum as it rises, and when it is quite clear pour it over the grapes, and let them stand twenty-four hours. The next day drain ofi the syrup from the grapes, make it boiling hot and again pour it over them; on the third day tire pul both grapes and syrup over the in the preserving kettle, and boil them to¬ gether, removing all scum as it rises, until the grapes are just tender; then skim them out of the syrup, put them into glass jars and boil the syrup until a little of it, cooled on a saucer, jellies slightly; pour it hot over the grapes, and when they are quite cold make the jars air-tight. Salads. —Salads are not only so fash¬ ionable but axe so appetizing succession that it is a very good plan to have a of lettuce growing in the garden, so that at any time you may have crisp and tender young leaves to use. A delicious ripe tomato salad requires the lettuce leaves to make it perfect. Take round, smooth tomatoes, skin them, make a little bole in the top of each, remove the inner por¬ tion, mix a spoonful of mayonnaise dress¬ ing with it, put it in the tomato, and cover the top with a lettuce leaf. ‘•What would you do if you were I, and I swell were you his ?” tenderly friend, inquired a young of lady as he es¬ corted her from chirfii. “Well,” she said, “if I were you I would throw away that vile cigarette, cut up my cane for firewood, wear my watch-chain under¬ neath my coat, and stay at home nights aud pray for brains !” At an entertainment held recently in London, it is said that the Princess of Wales wore the plainest dress of any of the ladies present. She displayed ex¬ cellent good sense. It doesn’t look well for a wife to be sloshing around in fine clothes with her husband §3,000,000 in debt. Looked Like a Put-Up Job. “Nice child, very nice child, ’’ observed an old gentleman, crossing the aisle and addressing the mother of the boy whyjiad just hit him in the eye with a wad of paper. “How old are you, my son ?” “None of your business !” replied tbe youngster, taking aim at another passen¬ ger. old “Fine boy,” smiled the man, as the parent regarded her offspring with pride. “A remarkably line boy. What is your name, my son ?” “Puddin’ Tame !” shouted the young¬ ster, with a giggle at his own wit. “I thought so,” continued the old man, pleasantly. “If yon had given me three guesses at it, that would have been the first one I would have struck on. Now, Puddin’, you can blow those things pretty straight, can’t you ?” “You bet!” squealed the boy delighted at the compliment. “See me take that old fellow over there!” “No, no,” exclaimed the old gentle¬ man, hastily. “Try it on the old wo¬ man I was sitting with. mind.” She has boys of her own and she won’t “Can’t you hit tbe lady for the gentle¬ man, Johnny?” asked the fond parent Johnny drew a bead and landed the pellet on the end of the old woman’s nose. But she did mind it, and rising in her wrath soared down on the small boy like a blizzard. She put him ov.er tbe line, reversed him, ran him backward till he didn’t know which end of him was front, and finally dropped him into the lap of the scared mother, with a benediction whereof the purport and skin was that she’d be hack in a moment him alive. “She didn’t seem to like it, Puddin’,” smiled the old gentleman, softly. “She’s a perfect stranger to me; hut I under¬ stand she is the matron of a truant’s Lome, and I thought she would like a little fun, but I was mistaken.” And the old gentleman sighed sweetly as he went hack to liis seat.
