SOKKOWFTIL TIME VCR THE
P 0 OR CRIMITAL
The Simple Device Employed, for
the Detection of Dant
BreakerS.
Every year the struggle for life
beeortees harder for the poor hunted
criminal. In fact, it is asserted, on
good authority, that he may have
had to turn to honest labor for a
living in sheer self-defence,
One, of the most successful devices
• la tracking eriminals, which has
played a eonspicuoiss part in recent
cases, is by tracing the irapression
of finger -prints, It is astowlehing
• how euccessfully thin simple device
has been employed by the •police.
Every prisoner, nowadays, not only
has his photograph but also an im-
pression of his thumbs and lingers
• taken. Scotland Yard still employs
the good old-fashioned method -used
largely by young ladies when sending
up •impressions of their hands •for
delineation to their favorite palmist.
You roll the thumb and fingers care-
• fully • on a flat piece of tin which
has previously been well covered
With ink. When the ink is nicely
eniestred over them, the digits are
pressed on a sheet of paper. These
records are carefully filed at Scot-
land Yard, so that in a ease where
finger -prints have been loft it ia
easy to turn up, at a moment's no-
tice, the impressions of the fingers
with corresponding marks. In this
en, way the hardened criminal posing as
y" a first offender is time after time
found out.
IN A. RECENT CASE
a burglar had forced his way into
a house -through a. window. In his
hurry he had not noticed that the
• window -sash was newly painted. But
• the. police made this discoyory, for
on the, ledge of the window they
found a beautifully dear impression
of fingers p,nd thumbs such as their
souls love. This they carefully
photographed, and took to Scotland
Yard. The impression 'turned out to
be exactly 'similar to that of a burg-
lar who had, "done time" some years
previously, • with the result that
there is at present enjoying Ris
Majesty's hospitality a gentleman to
eihom the words "wet paint". • act
p a red rag to a bull.
Long before the system was used
Ln England the value of the thumb -
mark as a method of identification
had been proved in India. At one
time it was a very common thing
for a native, when going up• for an
examination for some minor ap-
pointment, to get a. man more learn-•
ed than himself to impersonate him.
So cormn.on did this become that it
was found necessary to take the
thumb-raark of every candidate for a
Government post, so now the wily
Hindu finds his little game has come
to an end. • •
In South Africa, where niggers are
1—cerns1oyed in the mines, it frequently
happens that one nigger would pre-
sent himself on pay day a several
times for his wages, and often se-
• cure the payment
DTJE TO HIS MATES.
It requires a very practised eye to
distinguish one nigger from another,
and the poor paymaster, when con-
fronted with a row of niggers, was
quite unable to swear to his man.
In many mines the thumb systeni
was adopted, and a nigger. on • re-
ceiving his wages, was obliged to
make his thumb -mark as a receipt
for the money. And although two
niggers are as alike as two peas, no
two niggers' thumb -marks are iden-
tical.
One of the most famous thumb -
mark cases tookplace in India a
couple of years ago. A tea -planter
was murdered in his garden for the
—I./impose of theft and the murderer
got away, apparently leaving no
clue for the police. Some few weeks
after the crime, however, certain
thumb -marks were found on an atlas
belonging to the deceased which had
been amongthe paper's the murderer
had rummaged in • 'his search for
booty. On . examination of . the
marks it was found that they corre-
sponded exactly with the thumb • re-
cord . of `a noted criminal. then ...at
large. He was arrested some ' hun-
dreds of miles away from the scene
of the crime, and was found guilty
by the jury.
TITLED SERVANT GIRLS.
14. In many parts of the Continent the
father's title is inherited by all his
children, and there are several vil-
lages in Austria, Poland, and Rus-
sia, in which all the peasants are
legitimately descended frotha some
• princely ancestor. They are legally
described as "princes" in all official
docurnents, and on leaving their
homes many of these peasant princes
find themselves sadly hampered by
the burden of a high-sounding title,
• They cannot get rid of the titles,
• however, as they aro purely per-
sonal ones and not marketable eom-
'modities, like so many in Italy and
• Portugal, and by the police 'regula-
tions no employe can bo engaged
without showing his papers, in
whick his rank, age, and occupation
are stated. Needless to say, few
people are willing to engage a work-
maa of legally far higher rank than
themselves.
The newly -married French wife of
a wealthy Russian noble was about
to engage a Russian maid at St.
Petersburg when, on seeing the pa-
pers, she discovered that the girl
was a princess and a member of a
• well-known but reined family. The
• girl had been vainly seeking employ-
ment for months, but the lady de-
clined to engage her. On reaching
• her country seat, hoWever, the lady
discovered to her amazement, that
the housekeeper was a countess and
the henwile a princess, While the

KILLING ANTS 'WITH CANNON.
Artillery charge4 with grape -shot
has been employed to destroy great
fortresses which the termites, or
warrior ants, have made in many
tropical countries. In South Africa,
the termites work enormous havoc.
They live in a republic at their own,
and some of them have wings. The
workinen, the soldiers, and the
queens, however, have none. The
workmen, construct their buildings,
the soldiers defend the celtiny and
keep order, and the females, • or
queens, are cared for by all the
others, These become, in point of
fact, mere egg -laying machines which
have to remain tied to one spot.

be four times as high as the pyra-

the system is to enrich your blood
by taking Dr, Willicons' Pink Pills.

'case out of thousands to prove the
truth of this statement. Mr. A. G.
Lacombe,- Sorel, Que„ says: "For
five years I was a victim to the
tortures of . rheumatism. At times
the pains in my knees, shoulders and
hips were . almost past endurance.
Often I could not dress myself with-
out assistance. I tried many reme-
dies but I never got more than tem-
porary relief until I began the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1 used al-
together eight boxes, and. 'since tak-

ery way than I did for years before.
I would stronglyadvise every
rheumatic sufferer to give Dr.
'Williams' Pink Pills a fair
trial." • Remember that only

GRACEFULLY TURNED.
Disraeli's' resourceful wit enabled
hinT to play the courtier at all times,
and to give — as in an instance
which the London Daily Chronicle
recalls — a complimentary turn even
to satire.
Soon after he had received his
title, and had become the Earl of
Beaconsfield, an old peer greeted the
new peer one day, and asked him
how he felt. Beaconsfield was just
walking away, from the House of
Lords, but his thought seems to
have been in the House of Commons,
for he said:
"I feel as if I were dead and
buried."
The old, peer looked aghast.
"Aad," 13eacongfield • continued,
with scarcely a. pause, "and in the
land of the blessed."
'The old peer smiled again, and lov-
ed Becteonsfteld forever after.'
Marie — "Do .yon see till scoundrel
staring at me?" Estelle — "He
isaft. He's staring at me." Marie
(savagely) — "He's more of a
scoundrel than I thought.n
She -- "It seems almost impossible
that you should love me." He —
"That's what my mother says. How

if you always agree like that!"

'CUTTING TEETH.
,A Trying Time to Both Baby and
PlCother.
There is no time when baby- re-
quires inore attention than during
the teething period. At that time
the little one is always cross and
fretful, subject to stomach disorders
and sometimes convulsions. Often
inothers are absolutely worn out car-
ing for baby, and the whole house-
hold is in a condition • of anxiety.
This condition can be easily reme-
died by the use of Baby's Own Tab-
lets, which cool the sour little stom-
ach, allay the inflammation of the
gums and give the little one healthy,
natural, sleep. A mother's word can'
always be depended upon where the
health of her little ones is concern -
Pd, and thousands of mothers praise
this inedicitie. Mrs. R. L. McFar-
lane, 13ristol, Que., says: "In my
estimation, Baby's Own Tablets have
no equal as a medicine for Children.
They are invaluable at the teething
period, and 1 Woulel notthe without,

FREE ALKALI.
There are few women In Canada
Who have not heard of "free alkali,"
but there are rawly who 40 not under -
Stand the tern,. The term Is always
used in connection with soap. If
any think it is meant• to convey that
it 14 alkali given tree with, the soap,
then alkali le very dear at the price.
But it does not mean that. A soap
containing free alkali is a soap in
which the alkali is not properly Meer -
Punted with the fatty acids used In
the making af soap, and such a Soap
Is ;nest injurious to the clothing and
hands. Free alkali in soap will burn
the nap off wool and the surface off
linen, coarser t the skin of the hands,
rendering them liable to eczema, make
the nails brittle and chip off. Such'
a soap • does not possess thorough
cleansing Properties, The difference
between a soap containing free alkali
and a neutral soap is easily tested,.
Sunlight Soap is a neutral soap, and no
one who has once used Sunlight Soap
for any time could" evith, eatisfaction
go back te any of the common laundry
Soaps on the market. Complaints
about the hands and the clothes are
unknown where Sunlight Soap is used.

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS.
• An easily made cement is formed
of rice ,flour. It should tie mixed
with cold water and allowed to boil
slowly until quite thick. .
Linen must be thoroughly dry and
well aired before it isput away.
When it shows signs of turning yel-
low wring out in hike -warm soap
and water, dry and store again.
' After thoroughly brushing out the
dust from a black' hat., go over it
with a thin solution of gum arabic
Or mucilage, wing a nail brush for
that purpose. Wrien the hat is dry
it will be found to look almost new.
.Ne.ver scrub, oilclo ths with a brush,
and ngver use Soap in cleaning them.
Those which have lain in stock for
several years' are the best to buy,
as the paint is thoroughly harden-
ed. Wash with a soft rag dipped in
mixed mine and water, and -rub dry
with a handful of rags.
To remove grease spots from the
wall paper, apply to the spots a
paste of fuller's earth and cold wa-
ter, lea,ving this on all night. If the
spots have not disappeared in the
morning a second application will
ustually be found efficacious. It is
well to take grease marks out of pa-
per directly after they are made.,
Permanganate of potash is a cheap
and effectual stain for hard board
floors. Add' one-half an ounce of
permanganate to a quart .of water
and use this to paint over the floor,
which must first be allowed to dry.
Repeat the process if it is not as
dark as you want it, and then let
dry and polish with beeswax and
turpentine.

travagant to go to such an expen-
sive tailor." De Jinks — "What
could I do? Ile was the only one
who would trust me."

THE REASON OF IT.
So many of our readers are in-
terested in farming matters, that we
reel, justified in occasionally devot-
ing a little space to the question of
farm implements.
As is well known, the crops in
most parts of Canada last harvest
were etery heavy ; especially was
this so in the Canadian Northwest.
We are not able to foretell what the
next crop will be like. Conse-
quently it is desirable to be -prepared
for emergencies.
We learn on good authority • that
the binder which established the
best record in Canada last year was
the Massey -Harris.
And the reason that it did so
magnificently in the heavy grain was
that it is equipped with a floating
upper elevator. Should a big bunch
of grain be carried by the .eonveyor
canvas to the elevators, the upper
elevator automatically rises to ad-
mit. of it passing up freely. There
As, therefore, no choking or stop -
pin.
This is a splendid device, specially
introduced by the Masseyellarris
people, who are to be congratulated
on the progressive methods' they em-
ploy in the manufacture of farming
hiriplethents.
They are a Canadian concern, too,
which makes us the more proud ol
their success.

How It Was Built and Kept Alive

doorway with the big back -log coat-

it before him on its wedgeshaped
end. Ile would perhaps. stand it

a breathing spell and planned his

ed forward on the hearth, and the

coals raked open, the icy log was
walked into the chimney, where a
skillful turn would lay it over, hiss-
ing and steaming, in its layer of hot
ern ers, says a writer hi the Atlan-
tic lVfonthly. It seemed a thing
alive, and its vehement sputtering
and protesting made a dramatic mo-
ment for at least one small specta-
tor. The stout shovel and tongs, or
perhaps, a, piece of firewood used as
a lever, would force it against the
chimney -back ; then a good-sized
stick, called a, "back -stick," was laid
on top of it, and the andirons were
set in place. Across the andirons an-
other good-sized stick was laid, call-
ed a 'fore -stick," and in the inter-
space smaller sticks were crossed
and thrust and piled, all quickly
kindled by the live coals mid brands.

There is more Catarrh in this section

years was supposed to be incurable, For
a great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease and prescribed, local

It incurable. Science has ,proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and there-

The Princess of Wales possesses a
"sacred cross," which is supposed to
always bring good luck to its owner.
It was formerly the property of the
King of Denmark, having been dis-
covered years ago in the grave of
the beautiful Queen Dagmar. Besides
its superstitious interest it is a fine
work of art, and was given by the
King to the Princess on her mar-
riage.

The teacher was telling the class
that the tongue was the origin of
speech, and that without it a man
could not talk. At this Johnny
held up his hand, "Well, Johnnie,
w'hat is it?" "I heard a man say
the other day that it was so cold
it made his teeth chatter."

TELEPHONING UNDER SEA.
A year or so ago, when Prof. Pu. -
pin's invention of a system of in-
ductance coils by which ocean ca-
bles could be transformed into tele-
phone lines was announced, many
apparently thought that talking
across the Atlantic would sooa be-
come an accomplished fact. But the
questions of cost and technical dif-
ficulties seem to have stood in the
way. Now, however, it is reported
that Berlin capitalists, who Maya
acquired rights in the invention, in-
tend to push its application between
points on the shores of the Mediter-
ranean, the Baltic and the North
Seas. Direct telephonic communica-
tion between Berlin and London,
and Berlin, Copenhagen and Stock-
holm, by the aid of this system, is
regarded as feasible.
ALUMINUM WHETSTONES.
It is said, on the authority of a
German experimenter, that aluminum
serves an excellent purpose as a
substitute for a whetstone, especial-
ly in giving a smooth, keen razor -
edge to firm bia,dee. When examined
with a microscope, the' edge of a
knife whetted on aluminum appears
much smoother and straighter than
It does when whetted on a stone.
Under the -effect of honing the sur-
face of aluminum becomes covered
•tvith a aubstance having a greasy
feeling and possessing a great power
of adhesion to steel, and it is large-
ly to this that the ability of the
metal to produce 80 fine an edge is
ascribed.
A bad temper is an awkward thing
to have, •and a dangerous thing to
lose.

T FLIGHT OF FLIES.
The common house -fly is not very
rapid in its flight, but its wings
make 800 beats a second, and send
it through the air 25 feet, under or-
dinary circumstances, in that space
of time. When the insect is alarmed
it has been found that it increases
its rate of speed to over 150 feet .
per second. If it could continue such
rapid flight for a mile in, a, straight
line, it would cover that distance in
exactly thirty-three seconds.
