Dupin, Lecocq, Tabaret, Sergeant and 0edf,./tre.the Great Names of the Earlier Detective Stories -Arthur Morrison's Hera, Martin Hewitt, Is the Most Sucesscful of Recent Mys- tery Solvers, If you ask some London publishers they will telt you that no book sells so well as a detective story, and that people still find a fascination in the achievements of Edgar Allan Poe's, Dupin, Gahorlau's Lecoeq and Ta- boret, and the redoubtable Sergeant Cuff of Wilkie Collins. These enen were the forerunners of Sherlock Holmes, and their feats of criminal"tracking were as remarkable as those achieved by the famous char- acter created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Perhaps the least known is Cuff, who figures .in "The Moon- stone.' Cuff looked for clews in trifles. says, 1411/4,- Investigating a smear on a newly -painted -deer, he was told by the superintendent who had the case th hand that it was made by the petti- coat e ..,of the women servants. Cuff asked which. petticoat, and the ser- geant reptied that he oould not charge himeelf with such trifles. "In all my experience along the dirtiest way of this dirty little world." replied Cuff. "I have never met such et thing as a trifle yet. We must see the petticoat that made the smear, and we must know for certain that the paint was wet." Leave, the beau ideal. of the French detective, was wont to explain as Sherlock did to his friend Watson, In the 'story of "File No. DA" a safe lute been robbed. •There is a scratch on the door of the safe which seems to have been made by 'the key slip- ping from the lock. But Lecocq ex- plained that the paint was hard, and that the scratch could not have been made by the trembling hand of the thief letting the key slip. He, therefore, had an iron box made, painted with green. varnish like the safe. As Lecocq inserted the key he asked his assistant to endeavor to prevent his using the key,, just as he was about to insert it in the lock. The assistant did so, and the key held by Lecooq, pulled aside from the loch, slipped along the door and traced up- on it a diagonal scratch from top to bottoin, the exact reproduction of the one shown in a photograph of the safe. Thus it was proved that two persons were present at the robbery; one wished to take the money and the other to prevent its being taken. In the play Sherlock Holmes, the detective, • with the aid of An accom- plice. raises an alarm of fire at the house of the Larrabees, daring the excitement of which he is able to in- vestigate the mystery of oertain pur- loined documents: • • A somewhat similar incident occurs. in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Purloined Letter," \filen Dupin, having obtained entrande to the house of a Minister of the state, who had purloined a letter of great importance from a lady, wish- ed to take it from its 'hiding -place -- a cardreck over the niantelinece-e-and substitute a facsimile, While. Dupin was talking to the Minister therewas a sodden report of 'It 'pistol beneath the . window, followed by fearful Bewares and loud shouting. The Min- ister rushed -to the window, and while , his Attention was thus distracted, Du - pin took the real letter and substitute ' ed the false One which he had pre- pared. Needless. to say, the diversion had been oreated by Dupin's assist. - ants. Although "The Adventures of Sher- lock Holmes" soniewhat overshadow the stories of other detectives which appeared in The Strand Magazine. one should not forget to mention Mar- tin Hewitt, Investigator; and Dick Donovan. - Both these detectives worked alone and were past masters in the art of solving robbery mysteries, murders and the erimes of secret societies. And the value of noting trifles, par- ticularly in 'detective work, is strik- ingly illustrated in "The Case ,of Mr. Foggatt." The latter had been. mur- dered in his chambers, which were situated at the top of .the .building in which Hewitt had an office. Hew- itt* was the first one on. the scene. The door was locked, and when ..he got inside the room he found. Foggatt lying selves the table, • shot dead. There was a sheer drop of fifty feet outside the windows. How had the murderer got in, and how had he escaped? On the sideboard were the freshly bitten remains .of an apple. Hewitt noticed that it had been bitten by a person who had lost two teeth, one at the top and one below. He also saw that the elead ,man had an ex- cellent set of false teeth, with none miseing. He observed, too, that an, Active young man Could, by standing on the window sill. drat* himself on. the roof and thus escape: Thus Hew- itt comes to look for a tall, athletic' looking young man with two teeth missing. He finds him, obtains by a ruse another apple which he has bitten, oomparea the two, and ulti- mately obtains the startling story of the murder' from, the murderer himself after the coroner's jury hod returned • •verdiot, o "aecielental death." .

Per Sale by all druggists, A HARBINGER OF SPRING. m•••••••••,4.44••••• Some of the Superstitions Which Are Held In Regisrd to the Ottekao. There ia a widespread belief in the old country that whetever line of work or pleasnre one is engaged in when the cuckoo is first heard in the spring that will be what one will most frequently engage in during the com- ing year. In many parts of Scotland and in the northern counties of England people tnrri their money in their pee- kets ou hearing the first call of the cuckoo, as this, they say, insurea lueity year. In the ounties border- ing on Wales not only do they do this .but they also have .,te wish at the same time, ttaa wish being kept secret of course. To have a gold cola in one's pocket when the cuckoo's ea.11 is first heard insures goad luck for the rest of the year, The German peasants declare that after St. John's day the bird changes into a sparrowhawls. The Danes have a curious legend regarding this bird. When the vil- lage girls hear its first call they kiss their hands and repeat. "Cuckoo. cuckoo, when shall I be married?" As many times as the bird calls "Cuelcoo" in answer, so many years will the maiden have to wait. The old folk, bent and bowed with rheu- matism and age, ask instead, "Cuc- koo. cuckoo, Nhen shall I be released from this world's cares?" and the an- swer eomes in the same way. So oc- cupied is the poor bird in anewering these questions, say the Danes, that she never has time to build her nest, henoe is forced to My her eggs in the neat of another bird. Our forefathers looked upon the cuckoo as the harbinger of spring, and its note to this day is welcomed by country folk as a sign that winter has at last gone. In Shropshire, Eng.. until a few years ago, when the laborers heard the cuckoo's first call they were in the habit of leaving off their work and and making holiday for the rest of the day, drinking what ,they call-. ed "cuckoo ale." . Many people still leelieve that when the cuckoo is first heard in the morn- ing, if the question be put respect fully to it it will by its call denote the number of years the questioner hasto live. TORN CURRENCY. The Way Mutilated Bills- Are Redeem. ed by Uncle Sam. In the bands of John Doe or Rich- ard. Roe any mutilated note of legal tender in the United States is redeem- able at its face value, provided a clear three-fifths of its physical sur- face be presented at the redemption Window of the United States treasury department. Doe or Roe may have to submit. to a: little questioning, perhaps, as to how he got it or how the accident happened lopping off that other two- fifths. But if hr doesn't stammer and choke or attempt a clean cut for it he'll get the full value of the mob, lated bill, . By inference, then, neither Doe nor Roe may expect anything doing if he shall present less than the preseribed three-Aftlis of the piece of currency. .But the national Government, still liberally disposed toward •Roe and Doe, will accept e fragment that may be less -than three-fifths, but clearly more than two-fifths of the original note, 'paying just half 'the value of the original bill, however, as penalty for •the accident. In the ease of James Brown Smith, Esq., known and respected in his home city, he may recover the full value of his note that is under two - _fifths 'Measure provided that he will ,appear .before an officer of the law qualified to administer oaths and make affidavit as to • thine, Manner and place -in which the mutilation was accomplished. This affidavit will be attested by the official -seal of the officer, who also must be prepared to attest in like manner the good char - aster of the affiant. :Except in the above instances insufficient portions of a note or notes are returned to the person presenting them for redemp- tion, Paper currency which has been destroyed totally is not redeemable under any circumstances. Beware of torn currency in general., A bank ought not to pay it out to you for the reason that the Government. is eo willing to exchange new 'cur- rency for it. And if you have torti it accidentally yourself you ought to save the pietes and go to the nearest subtreasury to. effect the redemption. Jupiter Warmer Than the Earth. "The gigantic mass of Jupiter has a much. larger warmth than that of the earth." says a scientific writer. "It is the result of ' the molecular movement produced by the compres- sion of the strata and rnust be greater the more powerful the masses and hence the larger the pressure of the strata is. Jupiter surpasses the earth in point of mass 307 times,. and for this reason the inner temperature or individual warmth of the planet is probably high enough to evaporate the water upon the 'surface quickly, so that water 'raper forms the princi- pal substance pf the atmosphere of Jupiter. Water vapor is art excellent reflector and readily accoUnta for the bright radiation of light emitted by the planet." • Hit Hard. "Your husband is not looking well to -night, Mrs. Rhymer."

The major began to storm arid ased language not to be repeated, whereupon the exasperated and hon- est porter sprang upon his victim and shot hint into the hall like a bundle of rags. The major's clothes, travelingbags, rugs, eth„ followed. "Now,", said Pat, "if ye don't dries in foive minutes out ye go ia the strate as ye were. born!"
