OH, HAD I KNOWN!
\ [Harriet Prescott Spofford ]
If I had thought so soon she would have died,
He said, I had been tenderer in my speech,
I had a moment lingered at her side,
And held her, ere she passed beyond my
rea'di,
If I had thought so soon she would have died.
That,day she Ipokad up with her startled ayes,
£dke some hurt creature where the woods
4 are deep,
With kisses I had stilled those breaking sighs,
With kisses closed those eyelid* into sleep,
That day she looked up with her startled eyes.
W, , ■■
Oh, had I known she would have died so soon,
Love had not wasted on a barren land,
Love like those rivers under torrid noon
Lost on the desert, poured out on the sand—
Oh, had I known she would have'died so soon I
B4TECTIVE9 IN FULL DRE3B.
Same of the Methods Employed by Ex
, porta In Criminal Affair*.
.If' [Philadelphia Express ]
"Why is a detective required at a
wedding, whore everybody comes by in
▼itationf”
"Because it is not only the professional
crook you have to look out for. There
are plenty of kleptomaniacs. When a
rich and well-dressed woman steals a
diamond ring she is called a klepto
maniac. When a dirty beggar steals a
pair of shoes she is called a thief. We
detectives think that thia is a distinction
without a difference. Thon you must
remember that every now and then a
professional thief gets into a private
residence where a fashionable wedding
is being solemnized, notwithstanding
that he has no invitation.”
"How does be do it!”
"Walks right in. The most expert
and successful of petty thieves always
dress elegantly, and have the appearance
of the greatest respectability. It is a
peculiar thing, too, that they can con
trol some of the handsomest and most
accomplished women. A thief gets a
4 ma:dr on an apparently respectable
Bian, and sometimes marries her.
o thieves I know of have married
fine families, and the neoplc never
know they were crooks. ‘lf the thief
doesn’t marry the girl he keeps her as
his mixtress. When he makes a good
haul of |B,OOO or |4,000, he throws SSOO
into her Jap. They live on the top of
, <he heap, and dress as well as the finest.
Jt is the easiest thing in the world for a
couple such as I have described to get
Into a rich man's house where a wed
ding is going on. They drive up to the
door in a handsome carriage. What if
•they have no cards? Plenty of people
come without them, although the in
,< vitation bears the explicit inscription,
•Present this card at the door.’ The
usher can not afford to insult such
’dut'itguislmd looking guests, so
they pass in. Once inside,
what a harvest is spread before
them! Frequently at weddings of the
000 or SBO,OOO worth of jew
. wiry, silverware, and all sorts of most
valuable articles are spread out in a
room without any protection whatever,
'lhen look at the chances there are to
steal jewelry and ornaments from the
ladies present. The thief is given a bet
ter opportunity than in a crowd on ths
street, because everybody is totally un
suspicious. All the women wear the
most valuable gems and ornaments they
possess. lam a pretty good judge of a
diamond—can tell one when I see it
and I have seen a w-'man at a wedding
with $50,000 worth, displayed on her
person, in her hair and cars, on her
throat and breast, and on the shoulders
of her short-sleeved dross. An expert
thief does not want an easier job than to
•lip off a pin hero, or a brooch there,
and It docs not take him long to collect
enough to support him m the moat lav
•dM&teb extravagance for months.
* "What course docs a detective pursue
j V a wedding!”
** "“Well, in the first place, you know,
appears as a guest, and not in an
official capacity. He wears a dress suit,
• even if ho has to rent it for the occasion,
a white tie, and a gold stud in his shirt
bosom. llio work is extremely difficult.
Really, all that can be done is to watch
<b« presents closely and see that nobody
wamoa any of them off. Sometimes, in
a large room, two men are required. Os |
course, we cannot present the crooks
from working the crowd unless we hap
tßn to know them. If we spot any we
now they generally get out as quickly
as possible without making any trouble.

■Mge-Dogs on Unsafe lea.
(Exchange.)
Blodge-dogs need no urging with
the whip when their instinct informs
them that they are on unsafe ioo.
They flee onwards at the speed which ;
alone can save and, as was experienced
repeatedly by Dr. Hayes, instead of
keeping the sledges together in a com
pact body, they diverge and separate, so
aa to distribute the weight over as large
an area aa possible. When they begin
to find thomaolves menaced by this dan
ger, and tho prospect ahead appears to
them unusually threatening,"they trem
ble, lie down, and refuse to go further.’’
Most arctic explorers tell of hair
breadth escapes from treacherous ice, i
whoa they have owed th ? r preservation
to the sagacity of their dogs. Wrangell
relates an incident of this nature:
"Our fleet care was to examine tho
possibility of forthef advance; this,
however, could only be done by trust
ing to the thin ice of the ahanu- L and
op nioaa were divided m to the pla

owing to the incredibly sw,ft running of
the dogs, to which uoutx-loss w® owed I
our safety. The leading sludge actually ,
broke through in several phuw; but I
the dogs, warned, no doubt, of the i
danger by their tuttural instinct, and
animated by the taressant crieo and oa
eouragmnenl of the drirer, flew
rapidly over the yielding tou. that »e

Contemporary Opinion of Noble Lives,
Noble lives have often been spent to
little purpose so far as their contempo
raries were concerned. The fact is, "No
man is a hero to his valet,” nor is any
man a "prophet in his own country;”
and as "distance lends enchantment to
the view,” it is only when the world’s
best men have been hid from sight in
the greedy grave that their influence
has been felt in all its power. We are
apt to hold even the oldest and best of
onr contemporaries in light esteem;
but we reverence the ancients. Nay,
many of earth's noblest sons have been
bitterly blamed; and held up to scorn
and derision in their lifetime; an'4 not
till death stepped in and took them
away did the world discover its mis
take. A poor shoemaker rises while
others sleep, and searches among the
wayside leaves of his native lanes, his
only inspiration being his thirst for
j knowledge, and the jov of adding a few
I plants to the known ifora of his native
land. His neighbors deride him, are
’ doubtful of his sanity, and think his
life a sad warning to the peas
ant lads around who may show signs
of leaving the beaten path of the monot
onous life their fathers trod. Unmind
ful of scorn, in defiance of faith, be
goes forward in the thorny path ho has
chosen for himself, gaining knowledge
that la quite new, making discoveries
that were reserved 1 for such as he, and
at last- becomes possessed of an herbari

be found in no other. All the while he

ft the brink of the grave, hands over

W.ippreciftslv* men in far-away Lon
collect something to relieve bls
Massing necessities, and—the matter
Ills. But he dies, and then tho world
®ins—not the blood and toil-stained
j&rbarium, but the stimulating example
It a hero’s life, which, though it re- i
felled the youth of his own time and
district, becomes a burning and a shin
ing light to lighten tho path and fire the
noble ambition of every youth who
reads the story of the heroic struggles
which U.ire him above tho swamping
waves of prejudice, of poverty, and ox

A Wall Street broker remarked the
other day; " Women are the most reck
less gamblers in the world. I never yet
knew one to come out ahead speculating
in Wall street, for they never know
when to let go. A<s speculators, how
ever, they have ten times the nerve of
men and they stand their losses with ex
traordinary fortitude. A striking in
stance of the h- 'd which gambling gains
on any one jrred the other day. A
woman Into my office about one
o’clock in the afternoon and asked to see
me on a matter of importance. I went
out to her and found she had traveled
all the way down from Springfield,
Mass., (ortho purpoae of investing some
money, bhe took a bank book out of
her bosom and showed me that she had
a deposit of four ibotwand dolMr*.
While I was talking to her it occurred
to me several tirm s that her face was
familiar, bn'. I found that it was impos
sible to place her. Finally 1 anked her
and she seemed greatly surprised that I
bad forgotten. She recalled the fact
that she came to my office nearly twelve
years ago with two thousand dollars
and began to sperulat t. She hod made
ten thousand dollars within two weeks
and then suddenly get caught In a
Gurry and w.m completely wiped
out. She k*n every cent that she
bad. She went back to Springfield and
here sho ie again ready to blow in the
rest of her Miring*. Ihwing all these
twelve years the eav»d tbe money care
fully, and every day »t>o has read the
stock reports iu tho newspapers. She
bMjfolluwcd the market carefully and
ber ideas are sound enough on stocks,
but thgre is no chance of her winning.
Four thousand d<»!:ars won't go far
when you speculate with it in big
Inmns, nnd the lcw»t l.ttle turn of the
market is likely to sen i her back to
Springfield penniless. This case re
miuds we t>! another one I had about a
year ago. I was going out of the office
•bout four o’clock in th« afternoon on
my way home, when 1 became aware
that there wr.s n woman sitting in one
of the office chairs .staring blankly out of
the window. I reinnmbered that she
had been there for two or three hours,
and made seme inquiries. I found that
»ho was a boarding house keeper up
town, and a very reiiniable and deserv
ing woman. She had by hard work sno
reodlng in .saving onr thousand six hun
dred dollars and had lisiened to the per
suasions of muv as her boarders, a young
Stock clerk, and had wme down to my
office ai»d speculated. The un>ney that
she had been years scraping together
was lost iu r day. J alnKvst made up soy
mind never to operate for a woman
again. But what's the ure? If I don't
do it sorae one else will, and the ‘com

The Effect of IM** on th* Teeth.
[Exchaag*.]
According to a Hartford, Coan., den
tist the extensive and almost universal
use of tonics and sedatives, ia the form
of iron and brom idea, and the general
use of fine flour and non-bone making
food materials, are what support the
vast army of dentists in this country, k
is a enrious fact that the effect of Amer
ican food u[>on the teeth of emigrants
who have been used to a coarser and
perhaps a more wholesome diet, is more
marked than up >u the teeth of the sons
of American ancestors.
