SO ME WAS - EASILY LURED ACROSS THE MEXICAN- UNE. new an Amateur Detective Outwitted an 1F.mbezzler—Posing an a Forger In Exile Who Knew of a+ Rich Deposit of Ore That Had Never Been Reported. "I never was in Mexico but once, and then I went as an amateur detective," said the mining ei-pert. "It happened this way A friend of mine in Pittsburg had his confidential clerk—to whom be had given an opportunity by trusting him fully—skip with $10,000. He knew' where he was, jest over the border from San Diego. But he was safe, for he kept religiously on the wrong aide of the line. Several detectives had been tient down there to lure him over, bat in some way he had detected the detect- ive in them, for they often acquire a professional air in spite of their beat efforts to the contrary. "I knew that my only chance would be to go and live there as a fugitive from justice Myself and so secure his entire confidence. I decided to be a forger. I took up my abode in the wretched little town and in about 24 hours was so sick of it that I wan on the point of throwing up the whole scheme and going back. But my friend had done me many a favor in business, and in decency I owed him some return. Of course I did not make the slick man's acquaintance. I was determined he should make mine. He held off for sev- eral days, evidently thinking I was a detective and expecting me to make, as they had always done, approaches to him. But I kept away, as if I were sus- picious of him. The fellow was dread- 1nliy homesick, and I don't wonder, in that place. $e used to go out on the desert and look at the stars and stripes aoroas the hordes and wish he dared go back. He evidently began to think he was worse imprisoned than if he had been in some penitentiary. "Finally one day he ventured to ad- dress me. I replied very coldly- to - his salutation, which only made him the more anxious to know me. He began to inquire intomy business and find out what I had COMfor._ I gave him no spe- cial satisfaction until one day I said that I.had come for a change of air. With the same kind of air in the United States a few miles away this was, of ccr'se, ab- surd, and be concluded, as I intended° he should, that I was there for the same reason he was, but I plied him with. no questions. Finally, in his impatience, he burst out with: 4,! 'What's the use of keeping -up this pretense longer? I know and you know that we are both on the same errand down here. It is true, as you say, we can't live over there'—pointing to- ward the country over the border. 'Let's own up and have done with the farce.' So we confessed to each other, he tell- ing me all about his crime, whieh I knew already, and I telling him all about my imaginary iniquity. "That was as far as we got for awhile, but it did him good. For it left him free to talk. Ile was very home- siok, and we both acknowledged that it would be almost pleasanter to give our selves up and serve out our terms than to stay there the rest of our lives. I onoe or twice hinted that I was ready to do so. But ho wasn't, and I knew that no ordinary inducement would gethim where he could be taken. But he had no opportunity of investing his money, and his cupidity naturally forced him to see that ho had made a very poor bar- gain if all he was to get out of his ras- cality was t� sit and spend it slowly in that little hole of a Mexican town. "I had already interested him with my stories of fortunes that had been made' in lucky mine investments, and told him I knew of one rick deposit Which I had never reported to any one, intending to invest the amount of my forgery in . its development if I could get some more to put with it. I told him it was in an out of the way local- ity in southern Arizona, 'and that we could get there without detection if we would go on foot or burro back and avoid the railroads. Finally he con- cluded that he was willing to take the risk if I would and go and look at the property. The rest was easy. I wrote 'at once for an officer to be ready to head ns off while crossing the Colorado river. We had traveled some distance without being challenged or exciting suspicion. I threw off my pretended apprehension, declared that we were safe from all in- terference and that we, might as well take it easy. This proved contagious, and I saw that I would have no difficul- ty in getting him 'to the point I had designated to the officers. "We were riding slowly along in the hot sun of the desert %v'hen suddenly from behind a butte two men on horses 'shot out and rode swiftly toward us and were upon ns almost before we had time to realize it. Although I had expected them, I confess I was taken by surprise —it was done so quickly and success- fully. Of course they handcuffed me as well as -him. But before we had reached the railroad station they had released rue, and he understood how he had been fooled. I expeoted he would burst out in curves and reproaehea, especially when they confiscated what he had left of his stealing's. But he didn't In fact, it was so great a rblief that he made no defense at the trial and took his sen- tence with great indifference. I would hardly have been surprised if he had thanked me for the favor—he was so thoroughly sick of exile. "-- 'hieitgo Times -Held. price and two 13 -cent stamps. Ttle Cook Company, Windsor, Ontario.

It Came In a Flash and Saved Her Has - band Disgrace. In the waiting room of the railroad station at the foot of Montgomery street, Jersey City, sat a well dressed elderly man and woman, people of evident re- spectability. They had just arrived on an incoming train. They were waiting to make arrangements for the transfer of their baggage to this city. Beside the pian was a gripsack labeled "Weaver, Hamilton,- Canada. " Finally the man, who appeared to be extremely nervous, arose mid started toward the smoking room. 1As he did so a little old man, attired as a granger, and who had spar- kling gray eyes, which were not even concealed by the glasses he wore, grab- bed the man by the coat collar. The man turned pale. "What do you mean?" he asked of the old fellow. e "I mean that you've been smuggling opium into the United States," said the old fellow. • "I'm 4 detective. " And he showed his badge. He ran his hand np under the other, man's coat, at the aback and, after tum - j bling about, prodilced several bottles and packages. "There's the proof," said he. "I've been watching you ever since we cross- ed the border, at Niagara Falls, and I thought there was something wrong. I , don't know what tondo in this case. Do you know that I could send you to state's prison for this?" The derelict's lips quivered and he looked pleadingly at the elderly wo- man, his wife. Tears flashed to her eyes. Finally, she said, hesitatingly: "You're quite wrong, sir. That is consumption medicine. My husband has long been endeavoring to conceal the fact from me that he is a victim of con- sumption. Just before we left Canada he had his- life insured for my benefit, unknown to me, he thought. I have known of `his deception and whenever he has left me, on the cars, I knew that he desired to seclude himself to take the medicine." There were tears in the eyes of those standing about, and finally the detect- ive murmured a -_few incoherent words and departed. The elderly man and woman boarded a ferryboat and then a Ninth avenue elevated railroad train. A reporter, who had witnessed the waiting room scene, sat behind them in the car. Neither of them spoke a word until they were well up town. Then said the man to his wife: "Mary, how could you lie so? How came you to think of such a story?" ' "John, I could and would die to save yon disgrace. But for the land's sake don't be tempted again,'' said she.-- New he.—New York Commercial. MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED AT THE HURON EXPOSITOR OFFICE, SLIAFORTH, ONTARIO, NO .WITNESSES REQUIRED, INDIA < RUBBER. Tests by Which the Quality of the Ma- terial May Be Established. Some few years ago Lieutenant Vla- dimiroff of the Russian navy made a se- ries of experiments to establish the test- ing of rubber goods on a sound and sate isfactory basis, the following being the main conclusions at which he arrived. It will be seen that the tests advocated are physical ones, as he came to the con- clusion that chemical testing gave no reliable results. First. -India rubber should not give the slightest sign of superficial cracks on being bent to an angle of. 180 de- grees after five hours' exposure in a closed air bath to a temperature of 125 degrees C. The test pieces should be about 6 centimeters thick. Second. -Rubber containing not more than '50 per cent by weight of metallic oxides should stretch to five times its length without breaking. Third.—Pure caoutchouo free from all foreign matter, except the sulphur necessary for its vulcanization, should stretch seventimes its length without breaking Fourth. --- The extension measured immediately after rupture should not exceed 12 per cent of the original length of the test piece. The test pieces should be from 3 to 12 millimeters wide, and not more than 6 millimeters thick and 8 centimeters long. Fifth. —The percentage of ash gives a certain` indication of the degree of Softness, and may form a basis for the choice between different qualities for certain purposes, • Any exoesses of sulphur over that re- quired for vulcanization should be re- moved at the works, and should not ap- pear on the surface of any object. Now, these tests on the whole seem Very well calculated to give useful indi- cation to engineers as. to the quality of the goods they are buying, only we would interpolate here the remark that unlese a good price is paid for the rub- ber it is no use submitting it to such physical tests as these. India 'rubber substitutes made from oil and "recover- ed rubbers"—that is, old rubber worked up again with oil—have nothing like the elasticity appertaining to new, sound rubber, and they are quite incapable of standing the elongation or heat tests mentioned.—Engineering. A sea captain has found that the sails of a ship when filled with a number of small holes bear it along more rapidly than when they are perfectly whole. Ere says that an ordinary sail cannot receive the full force of the wind, owing to the bulk of stationary air that fills up the hollow of the concave canvas. The territory composing Western Aus- tralia, according- to the latest computa- tion, covers nearly 1,000,000 square miles and conatitntes about one-third of the Australian continent. The area of this single colony is larger than that of eight ',leading countries in Europe com- bined.

MEN BURN SPONTANEOUSLY Medical Science Records Instances of the Combustion of Flesh From Within. When Dickens used so effectively tho spontaneous combustion of the human body as a climax for al novel, he had back, of him a great deal of evidence that' such a miracle had actually taken place. In an art;cle on "The Pathology of Mao, " in the old French "Encyclopedie Methodique," D'Azyr gives the case of a woman 50 years of age who had made a practice of going to bed drunk every' day for many years. Her bones were finally found in the bed with the flesh charred from them, as 'scientists sup- posed, lw spontaneous combustion. The somewhat similar case of Grace Pitt is giien in the transactions of the English Royal society. She was • the wife of a fishmonger who lived at Ips- wich, and she was found. - stretched on the kitchen floor by her daughter, burti- ing, the girl snit, "without flames. " Her body and legs resembled smoldering coals and when water was thrown on her gave forth the odor of scorched flesh, accompanied bya suffocating smoke. The girl ran from the house and called in the neighbors, who found nothing but bones and charred flesh left of the woman. She, too, had been a hard drinker. A third case, given in a Trench essay, -fs that of Mme. de Boiseon, $0 years old, who lived near Dol. It is said she was very lean and that for several years she had drunk nothing but spirits. I Her waiting maid found her burning in' her room, the`fire in. her case, as in the others, seeming to originate in the flesh itself and not in the _ clothing. Water thrown on her failed to check the fire, and she burned until nothing nt her skeleton remained in the cha The chair itself was only sligh scorched.—New York World. y Indoor Photography. To make a good portrait in the ordi- r nary room is quite a difficult task, as all the light to be had- comes through the window and leaves the shadow side of the portrait underexposed. This oan i somewhat be remedied by the use of a piece of white muslin about 12 feet long and about 3 feet wide or more. Stretch a string across the room par- allel with the window hand fasten it to a point about six feet -from the window, and also six feet from the floor. Fasten muslin over the to themes nli of the window and throw the other end over the string, allowing it to fall to the floor. This forms a sort of one-half side of a tent, and this somewhat confinee the light and re- flects it on the shadow side of your ob- ject and helps to brighten and soften the light In using curtains for a back- ground place them back of the sitter as far as the wall will allow, so as to pros duce a soft effect. Place the sitter about three feet from the window and about opposite the far side of the casement. Pull the window down from the top, and perhaps it would be best to cover up the lower part of the window with some dark cloth or paper. Close all doors so as not to have any draft, and then make the exposure. —J. A. Boos in New York Mail and Express. Pfarest and Beat for Table and Dairy No adulteration, Never cakes. SLOAN'S TN1JIANTOMc Noosing a Sea Lion. A correspondent of Ram's Horn nar- rates a pulling match between a sea lion and a farmer: Near Tillamook, Or., an old German farmer chanoed to be driving along the beach, when his watchful gaze was greeted by the sight of a large sea lion some distance out on the sand, fast asleep. It was the work of a moment for Ja- cob to make a lasso of a stout rope he had in his wagon, fasten the end of it to the hind axle and adjust the noose over the sea lion's head- Then Jacob jumped into the wagon and started homeward with his prize. The sea lion did the same, and as his - team was the stronger of the two Ja- cob started seaward at a good paoe, and only saved himself and his "outfit" by springing quickly to the ground, grasp- ing his jackknife and cutting the rope. The Mannish Woman. A masculine woman has always been the abhorrence of men and women alike. She is as repellent' to nature as an effeminate man. The woman who dresses in mannish garb, who walks with a stride, who talks in a load, harsh voice, who assumes an air of busi- ness importanoe, who is always threat- ening to do thinim that are unrefined or difficult because they have been emu's privilege, is a subjectof amusement to some and of aversion to others,—Brook- lyn Eagle.
