Frenchman Shows True Detective Is the Legal Doctor. The Paris Revue prints some Sherlock Holmes stories of true life, told by Dr. De Neuville, which are meant to show that the true modern detective is the legal doc- tor. One of these •stories deals with the discovery at Havre, in 1909, of the corpse of a woman who kept an inn. The, police authorities arrived with the doctor attached to the po- llee service. The medical special- ist, after •examiuing the various traces of the crime with his micro- scope, said: "What is the last boat that has arrived V' "The Donna Maria, from Sicily." Then without a minute's hesita- tion the doctor began: "This woman has been assassi- nated by a left handed individual, wearing a slight mustache and, probably a Sicilian. He probably arrived by the Donna Maria, and is over five feet six high. He knew the woman and has undoubtedly. stayed here before. He knew that she was often drunk and entered the house by breaking in. He kill- ed •her for fear she would wake while he was robbing the place and then escaped, thinking he bad left no traces. He probably has in his pocket the stump of a candle which has been used." While a detective was sent in search of any one answering to this clue, the doctor explained how he had reached his conclusions. "The assassin wounded himself at the door in entering and a splinter of wood, stained with blood, made me suppose that he is left-handed. By the side of the blood on the floor there are traces of a candle which has dripped. That confirmed my idea that the man who held the light in his right hand had the instru- ment of crime, in his left. "The microscope showed me that the candle' was one of those • manu- factured in Sicily. I recollected that detail by remembering the Ber- tillon collection of candles, which contain specimens from every part of the world. In thinking who could have used a Sicilian candle I con - eluded that he must have just ar- rived from Sicily. The microscope also showed two 'small reddish hairs in the candle grease, mustache hairs, undoubtedly, as those of the beard are quite different. The mur- derer after the crime had probably twisted or bitten his mustache with- out being aware of what be was do- ing." The doctor's reasoning was con- firmed by the immediate arrest of one Foforrazzo, a passenger on the Donna Maria. The doctor handed him a piece of paper which be took in his left hand, which was wound- ed. The candle -end was found in his pocket and he confessed to the crime. A woman always means what she says when she doesn't say it. Too many people are willing to forget and forgive -for a consider- ation. Many a man's good disposition is due to the fact that he is afraid of his wife. HADYSPEPSIA PO TEN YEARS COULD NOT KEEP ANYTHING OI HBP. STOMACH Dyspepsia is caused by poor digestion, and to get rid of this terrible affliction, it is necessary to place the stomach hx a good condition.

Banana Soup. -Mash six ripe ba- nanas, then rub thein through a sieve; add twice as much cold milk, sweeten to taste, add a pinch of salt and the grated rind of one lemon bring to boiling point, then add one heaping teaspoonful of arrowroot or cornstarch mixed. smooth with a little cold milk; etir till boiling, then allow to cook for eight min- utes, stir ing ;constantly ; let cool, then add two tablespoonfuls of le- mon juice and place on ice. Serve in bullion cups, Soft Gingerbread. -One cup no - lasses, one tablespoonful of ginger, one level teaspoon, salt. Put these ingredients into a pan and stir in enough flour (pastry flour is pre- ferable, so that the• spoon will stand alone in themixture. .Put one large spoonful of shortening -- meat fryings will do into your cup, fill it with hot water, add one tea- spoonful of soda, and niix thorough- ly with the flour and molasses. Add one well -beaten egg and bake in greased pans slowly, being very careful not to jar the oven. Ripe Cucumber Relish. -With a sharp knife remove the peeling from two dozen ripe cucumbers, cut into halves, and scoop out the seeds. Chop them rather coarsely and drain for twenty-four hours in a jelly -bag. Put the `pomace' left after the water has dripped out into a Iarge bowl; add four medium sized onions peeled and chopped with five tablespoonfuls of mustard seed. Mix all well together with a large wooden spoon and cover with the best eider vinegar. As the pickle swells after standing some hours, add more vinegar. The pickle should be well covered. Put into airtight jars, seal and keep in a dark, cool place. Molasses Chocolate Chips. -One quart of molasses, half a cupful of white sugar, an even cupful of grated chocolate, half a cupful of vinegar, a tablespoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of baking soda. Pour the vinegar upon the grated chocolate and the sugar and let it stand at the side of the range where it will dissolve slowly. It should not get hot. When the sugar is melted turn into the molasses and cook, without cover, stirring from the bottom often until it spins a thread from the top of a spoon. Now stir in the butter and the soda, the latter dissolved in hot water. Flavor with vanilla to taste and pour out upon buttered platters to harden. As it forms, cut into chips or bars with a buttered knife. Quince Marmalade. -Pare, quar- ter and core firm, ripe quinces and cut into small pieces. Weigh them and allow an equal quantity of su- gar. Put the fruit into a porcelain lined kettle with barely enough water to cover it. Cook slowly un- til the fruit is tender and translu- cent. Skim frequently. Take out the fruit with a perforated skimmer and spread upon dishes. Now add the sugar to the water in which the fruit was boiled. Bring to• a fast boil and remove the scum. Drop in the quinces. Boil steadily fifteen minutes after the bubble has fairly begun ; remove the fire and put into small jars or jelly glasses that have been rolled in hot water to pre- vent breaking. Cut the quinces into small hits of uniform size and put up in tumblers, as the syrup makes a firm jelly about the fruit. When you wish to use it, dip the tumbler into hot water, and the contents will turn out in a solid mass. Salmon Loaf. -One can salmon. Pour off the liquid, pick out the bones and skin and mix smoothly. Add four teaspoonfuls melted but- ter, one-half cup fine rolled crack- ers, and season with pepper and .salt and a little grated onion. Beat three eggs thoroughly and add to the mixture. Steam in a round can one hour and a quarter. Al- ways tie acloth on the under cover of the steamer to absorb the beads of water. When ready to use lav the roll ori a platter, garnish with parsley, and serve in slices with to- mato settee.. Cold salmon loaf, made the day before using, can be reheated. and is excellent. Tomato Satese for Salmon Loaf. -- Roil one pint of canned tomatoes with one cup of water and several slices of onion, according to taste. After cooking ten or fifteen min- utes, rub through asieve, pulp and all. except seeds. Blend a large tablespoonful of butter with flour in a frying -pan, add the tomato juice and •make a creamlike armee. Sea- son well cook thoroughly and serve hot in a gravy bowl, root which has been chopped One. Strain betore use. Raise the kitchen table on bricks, if it is used for cooking only, for in this way many back aches will be •saved, It is not the standing as much as the stooping whieh is so tiring in cooking. Black felt hats may be renovated by sponging with ammonia and boiling water in equal quantities. 'When dry, brush well with a stiff brush. Crust for roly-poly pudding is made thus: Put into a basin one pound of flour, ,one teaspoonful of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Chop six ounces of suet and add to the flour, and moisten with water to make a stiff paste. Turn it on to a well -floured pastry -board, and roll out very thin. • Don't dry umbrellas with the handle upwards, for then the mois- ture runs down to the tip where it rusts the wires and rots the silk, It is also a mistake to dry an tun- brella by spreading it open. In- stead, just drain the umbrella for a few minutes, and then stand it, handle downward, and dry it in this position. Before beginning to peel onions, grease your finger tips liberally with butter or lard or dripping. Thengrasp the knife and go on with the dreaded job ! Not a trace of odor from the onion or garlic will cling to your hands, provided, of course, that you avoid handling the onion with anv part of them ex- cept the fingers. Cooking vegetables which disc-. greeably scent the entire house be- comes an undesirable necessity at times. If a pan containing vinegar and spices (cinnamon and cloves`) is placed on the stove to boil while the food is cooking, the odor will be absorbed by the vinegar and spices. The skin of poultry is frequently very dirty when brought from mar- ket, and fowls should not only he washed, but scrubbed with a soft brush and warm water, in which a teaspoonful of baking soda. has been dissolved: Such treatment will prevent the disagreeable "hen- ny" taste often noticeable in cook- ed poultry. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Never allow meat to remain in paper, or in the kitchen, or it w ll quickly become tainted. Coal that is kept in a dry, airy place will burn muchlonger than that which is kept in a close cellar. with no ventilation. Before cooking •sage soak it in cold water for an hour, and then pour away the water. Next simmer the sago in stock or milk as desired.

Fraulein Hirtl, the daughter of a colonel in the Austrian army, has been put on trial for assaulting her father's superior officer, Lieutenant Field -Marshal von Boroevic, the commander of an army corps. The affair has caused .much sensation, as it brings into sharp relief some of the evils of the Austrian military regulations under which junior offi- cers are forbidden to marry unless the bride can deposit the prescribed dowry, which varies from $10,000 for a lieutenant's wife to $3,750 for that of a major. Twenty years ago Lieutenant Hirt! fell in love• with a penniless girl, and, apparently, in the hope that the regulation might be some day relaxed, the pair joined their lives without any religious cere- mony. The union was a happy one, three children were born, and when Hirtl recently attained -elle of a colonel, when no dowry but only a formal permission to marry is ne- cessary, he applied for leave to marry his faithful -companion, as this would, under Austrian law, also make his children legitimate. The field-marshal, however, re- fused this permission, told Colonel Hirtl that he had best send in his papers, and declined to have any social relations with him. This interview took place just be- fore a dinner of the garrison at Minkaus, and Colonel Hirtl, in- stead of attending, went home, and told his family what had happened. His eldest daughter, who is eigh- teen years of age, was so furious at the slight put on her father and mother, that she went at once to the hotel where the dinner was tak- ing place, and in the vestibule slap- ped the general's face in the pre- sence of several officers. WE ARE WEATHER PROPHETS. Very often we find the newspaper misleading us as to the weather in a particular district, or it has given us a report too general to be of service. But this does not matter much, because we can be our own weathe r prophets. We can start with the breakfast -table. Keep an eye on that cup of coffee. Should the bubbles collect in the middle and form a "kiss," a picnic can be safely planned. But if they rush to the side, be careful. There is a strong chance that it will rain. The after -breakfast pipe will confirm. the opinion you have formed from your coffee -cup. If you use wax matches, you will find them special- ly difficult to strike. There are further weather prophets in the hall. If your walking -stick, for ex- ample, is hard and dry, take ,it with you, even, though the sky be eToudy. But if the handle is moist, drop it and arm yourself with an umbrella.

Lesson XI, -Ju and mercy. Matt. 11, 20-30. Golden, `Text, Matt. 11. 28. Verse 20. Then began he to up- braid --Matthey records this re- proach as occurring 'immediately after his charge preparatory to sending forth the twelve, while Luke places it, perhaps inore cor- reotly, at the close of the Galilean period, after he had "stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem" (Luke 9. 51). Most of his mighty works -Or, powers. Perhaps a closer render- ing of the Greek would be "those very numerous mighty works" or miracles, The synoptists use the term "mighty works" frequently, while John avoids it. 21. Chorazin - Situated about two miles north of Capernaum. There is no record of miracles per- formed here, though John states that many things were done by Je- sus Which were not recorded (21. 25). Bethsaida--The home of Andrew, Peter, and Philip. situated a short distance north of Lake Galilee and east of the Jordan. Tyre and Sidon -Heathen cities situated on the Mediterranean coast. Jesus and his disciples • seem to have been well received on their visit here (Mark 7. 31). Sackcloth and ashes -Symbols of extreme grief. For examples see Jonah 3. 6; Dan, 9. 3; Isa. 58. 5. 22. More tolerable -The heathen cities Which had received very little of the gospel would be held less responsible than 'the Jewish cities which had been enlightened by both teaching and miracles. 23. Caperixaum -A flourishing city on the northwest shore of the lake. This was the home of Jesus during his Galilean ministry (Matt. 9. 1) and the scene of many mira- cles. Shalt thou be exalted unto hea- ven i -This question reveals the haughty and self-sufficient attitude which the prosperous inhabitants of the city assumed. Their self- satisfaction permitted of no accep- tance of the important spiritual truths which Jesus presented. Go down unto Hades -- Some manuscripts read be brought down. The men of Capernaum were proud of their flourishing city but failed to appreciate Christ's teaching. Their humiliation, therefore, will be equal to that of the heathen cities (Ise. 14. 13-15). Condemna- tion of the inhabitants as well as the desolation of the city is pro- phesied. For a discussion of "hades" see introduction to Lesson Text Studies for May 5. • • Sodom -A city situated near the Dead Sea, destroyed because of its wickedness (Gen. 19). Wherever this name appears in the New Tes- tament it is cited as an example of the execution of divine judgment (Luke 10. 12 ; 17. 29 ; Rom. 9. 29 ; 2 Peter 2. 6; Jude 7). 25. At that season -In Luke's re- cord (10. 2I. 22) this paragraph oc- curs after the return of the seven- ty. These things -This refers to the "mighty works," which were not understood in those Jewish cities which would not receive them as evidences of divine wisdom and power. Wise and understanding -The re- ferente is to the orthodox Jews, and especially to the scribes and Pharisees, who were versed in. every detail of the Mosaic law and observed it faithfully, but failed to grasp the principles of the gospel because they did not comply with the condition of simple faith which Jesus imposed. Babes - The disciples of Jesus were thus characterized because of. their acceptance of the gospel by simple faith. In contrastwith the learned doctors of the law, they were ignorant men. The implica- tion is that if the erudite interpre- ters of the law are to become dis- ciples of Jesus, they must approach him with the same simple faith as his humble followers. 27. All things have been delivered unto xne of my Father -In verse 25 Jesus has declared that the Father is Lord of heaven and earth, which serves to reveal the nature of the things committed unto him by God. At the creation Christ was given supreme power over the universe, and even during his earthly exis- tence he exercised his authority in some degree (John 3. 35; 13,. 3; 17. 2), while after the" -resurrection full authority was again restored with all its accompanying glory (Matt. 28.18). The possession of such pow- er by Christ verifies the assumption of John (1. 3) and the Epistles (Col. 1. 16-17) that he is the creator and sustainer of the universe, The phrase involves the consciousness of Jesus of his existence with the Father before his earthly advent and the fullness of his revelation and authority. No oneeknoweth the Son --No one is fully able to recognize or under- stand the Scar except the Father. This is especially true since Jesus enjoyed personal fellowship with the Father from the begi.nnirig (John 1. 2). 'Io whomsoever the Scsi willeth tai reveal him --One phase of the leis - sign of Jesus was to make known the ekiaracterof God to men.

There is no other eminent woman• writer quite as active as the author of "Robert Elsmere" in trying to ameliorate the hard lot of the poor. Most of her philanthropic ener- gies are focussed ori the Passmore Edwards ,Settlement in the west central district of London, where, owing to her initiative, a vacation school has been opened for chil- dren who would otherwise have to spend their holidays in the streets. Over a thousand scholars. are in daily attendance, although they are not compelled to attend. The re- freshing departure from ordinary scholastic routine accounts for this pressure at the Passmore Edwards School. When weather conditions permit, a mixed class assembles for tuition in basket -making on the large -lawn at the rear of •the Set- tlement. The children work with happy application, and it is diffi- 11rs. Humphrey Ward. cult to recognize in them the up- roarious youngsters who turn the back streets into a pandemonium during the vacation . weeks. Then there is a woodwork class for boys, and a mixed art class, where the pupils paint flowers from natural specimens taken from the garden. But by far the most popular class is the story -telling class. Stories of old romance are recited by the teacher, and this section displays, more than any other, the keynote of the work, which is re- creative occupation. The more practical side of tuition is not for- gotten, for: boys are shown how to cobble boots, and girls are taught cooking and housewifery, while dancing and drill are also provid- ed for both boys and girls. Before the vacation school breaks up, Mrs.. Humphrey Ward invites the parents to a Parents' Day, when specimens of the school work are exhibited. COTTON SPINDLES.

Tourist with Feet Braced Against Moulder field Sister by Skirts. The terrible experience which be - .fell a brother and ,sister a few days ago easily leads the roll of narrow escapes from death in the Alps this sunimer. For eight long hours Hen- ry Van Goethen, a young German touriet. lay crouched with his feet braced 'against a boulder, holding the skirts of his sister, Miss Van Goethen, while she hung over a pre- cipice nearly a mile high. The girl, with her brother and her fiance, Maurice Sombardien, ascended Mount Saurosse, and in returning to the, perilous pathway leading to the glacier of Domenon. As they were rounding a •granite ledge, clinging to the rock with hands and feet, she slipped and slid away towards the edge of the precipice. STARTLED BY HER SHRIEK for help, the girl's brother and fiance sprang forward just in time to see her disappearing over the verge. The brother threw himself flat on the smooth rock and slid forward just in time to grasp the hem of her skirts aa she was going ., over. Luckily, his foot came against a small projecting boulder on the very edge of the precipice. Beyond that, he Vas .helpless. Sombardier tried to pull the two back, but could not. "Run for help 1" the brother cried between gritting teeth, fear- ful that even the slightest tug in pulling thein back might tear his sister's skirt and send her crashing down 2,400 feet into the rocks be- low. Sombardier ran back down the mountain. The girl's arms had been injured- in nuredin the fall and she was unable: to help herself. Dangling there 'in space, ishe could see, far below, floating clouds, through which she expected every minute to be hurled. Farther down she could see tiny specks, the houses of an Alpine vil- lage. All the way down was sheer precipice and jagged rocks. The sight took away her consciousness and thus SAVED THE GIRL'S REASON. Twilight carne, still the young man, tired to exhaustion, clutched the skirts of his sister. Minutes seemed hours. Hours seemed cen- turies. Hb could not move his feet for fear of losing his .toe hold on the boulder and going with his sister down to death. At first he held fast to the skirts with both hands, then, as the strain- ing position rendered him nearly mad with pain, he alternated his hands every few minutes, turning the freed hand around rapidly to ease the strained muscles. Twilight gave way to darkness, and still the brother clung to his sister. At last the faint shouts of a rescuing party came up the moun- tain pathway. It had taken Sombardier three hours to go down the mountain, and five more to gather a party of capable mountain climbers and re- turn. When the rescue party succeeded in drawing the young woman from the precipice, her brother fainted. He is now suffering from a severe brain shock. His sister will un- doubtedly recover from. her injur- ies. • HOW FAST FLIES INCREASE. Mr. Howard, of the Bureau of En- tomology, Washington, D.C., cal- culates that a single house fly, starting about April 15 with an av- erage brood of 120, would, if all her eggs were hatched and all in turn reproduced in like ratio, see by the end of the season her prog- eny to the number of 1,096,181,249,- 311,720,000,000,000,000. ,096,181,249,- 311,720,000,000,000,000. As each fe- male usually lays four batches of eggs their unchecked development through twelve generations would make a mass of flies measuring 268,- 778,165,861 cubic miles, or consider- ably more than the size of the earth, "Fortunately," comments the Medical Record, "there are many things destructive to eggs, larvae, and adult flies, so the num- ber of the latter is kept down to a possible figure."

BEE STINGS FOR RIIEUDIA.TICS Not One or T'wa, But Let a •Bee Sting You Every Day. An American medical paper gives an account of the use of bee stings es a pure for rheumatis'zn, Thio cure has been thoroughly examined by some of the great medical col- leges olleges and endorsed by them as scientific. The essence of the cure lies in the formic acid which bees, inject into the blood. Here is a brief extract from the article "One sting will not cure your rheumatism, neither will two or three, but if you let one bee sting. you every clay your rheumatism will soon disappear. That's what some prominent physicians say who are watching an interesting experiment' in Cincinnati, Ohio, "John Renner, of Cincinnati,. long a sufferer from rheumatism, he taking the bee -sting cure.
