FASHION'S DETECTIVE.
THE CUSTODIAN OP THE WED-
DOO PRESENTS AND RECEP
TION RAIMENT.
Tinrinir tri mutt mnnle of VPArH
in Cm ever since Inspector Byr
nes' accession to office several nice
society people have suffered a queer
sort of shock. Some believed it a
hmlindrmtion. it eeemed so unreal.
Others guessed at something akin to
the truth. This was ineir exper

daughter to the distinguisbed Mr.

seeing a very quiet and prepossess

tame, who paid littie attention to
- what was going nn ia any set, but
' circulated freely about, smiling and
courteous. When their minds re
curred to the event they did recall
that he had not been presented to
them. , If they thought of it further
they night hare remembered that
he seemed to be an enthusiastic ad
mirer of jewf Iry and brio-a-brac and
spent most of his time lounging
about the presents. . But there was
always a definite recollection of his
presence at that and kindred events.
s It was only natural for them to
' notice him when they met again,
. even if rood breeding prohibited a
formal salutation. ' Hut none of
them ever found fault with good
breeding on that account For it
was always in a court, or a prison or

nearly all the time he was an actor
in one or the othar. ' '
More than one eminent member
oi the Bar has fixed his classes a
couple of times to make sura that
he was not mistaken iu the person
ality of the man who came in with
some notorious prisoner. And var
ious ladies of fashion marvelled
greatly at the ill-taste of tbs nice
young man they remembered when
they saw him lounging about theatre
doors and public places. Even
dudes of distinction, who rather af
fected a familiarity with the doings
of the city, were profoundly aston
ished to stumble upon him at the
racecourse or athletic exhibition and
could never make him out.
That was precisely what he want
ed. For the mysterious nnknown
was neither a society man nor a
member of the jfunrnnr durre he
was simply a detective.
Some of those who remembered
bim where the lamps shone, where
soft music floated and beauty and
wealth circulated, would be startled
by the information. But probably
they wooFd be still more moved by
the knowledge that he was one of
the most needful and important of
the guests.
The mind of a sentimental miss
could scent a romance in such an at
tendant at a reception or " kettle
drum. " The blunt intelligence of
mankind might wonder " who was
wanted, " or who was to be watched
under such circumstances. But there
was not a scintillation of sentiment
in the detective's duty. He was
there simply to keep a lookout for
thieves. Not for bold burglars or
cunning sneaks, or any outsiders ,
either. He was looking for thieves
among the guests.
Gentility would hold up its hands
in horror at the thought But ex
perience has only too well attested
that the so-called kleptomaniac gen
erally wears diamonds and satin slip
pers and that a clever knack for ap
propriating other people's effects
can lurk beneath a dress suit and
an immaculate bosom as readily as
under blouse or velveteen frock.
Inspector Byrnes knew as much,
too. He remembered that the dis
appearance of wedding presents was
sometimes strangely frequent, and
tkot IKa Dnntunli ff fOnthintr in riot
' and dressing rooms had often flitted
unexpectedly and to unlikely quar
ters. Of course the servants were
blamed for it They always are
when no explanation occurs. But
a series of discoveries that created
hushed-up scandals and private ex
aminations in police oourU let the
cat out of the bag.
It was guests and they were of
both sexes who had done the ap
propriating. More too, it was not

W invited to weddings and recep
tions, who came for the express pur
pose of thieving, and who in some
instances worked in collusion with
others outside. In Tery select cot
eries this would seem impossible ;
but these depredations had occurred
in houses where opportunity for
such - intrusion seemed so unlikely
that the Inspector adopted the plan
of sending a detective to any recep
tion where temptations were offered
to the pilferer.
Nowadays the practice of having
these custodians of property on
hand is known to all prominent en-
te trainers. This much, too, has

mysterious disappearances of jewel
ry and costly articles has waxed
quite infrequent' And that is the
reason more than one detective ser
geant has the swell outfit he nev
er dreamed of possessing, and the
curls and perfumery of fashion does
not surprise them as much when
they encounter them as ot yore. Of
course they have odd experiences,
some of them deeply tinctured with
romance.
A JEWEL BOX STORY.
One happened last winter to be
in attendance at a wedding. It was
- a typical wedding of the fashionable
kind. Tnere was a large gathering,
a reosptio by the bride and groom
- tinder great floral marriage bells in
the drawing room and a later sur
vey oi the wedding presents up
sUtrs. 1 be detective was op stairs.
He noticed there an elegantly attired
lady Rasing intently at a jewel case.
There was a jewel in it, of course,
and a beauty of its kind ; but be
faceted it received all the admiration
it nailed for. When the detective
lounged in, the lady floated out
Later on she was back again when
he chanced to be called away. He
was back in a twinkling and in time
enouch to notice her tip toeing out
alone. He slipped inside, the jewel
cast was gone. He came out again
to notice her going down stairs with
her wrap on and a little hand satch
el by her side. She omitted to pre
sent ber respects, but went to call
her carriage. He made up his
mind at once and offered to assist
her down the steps. She took his
. hand, nervously, he noticed, and
with that be said courteously :
and took the satchel in his hand.
They had not reached the walk be
fore be felt the jewel case in it he
called ber carnage, and, taking out
the box, handed the satchel back.
"Pardon me, Madame, but you
forgot to leave your little offering
- behind you. Never xuind, I will
nxdacsiL"
This was all he uttered. She never
aid a word. But she sank in the
carriage seat as though she had been
shot There was no publicity. But
thereafter that lady's name was
omitted from the card list of that
house.
A CLOAK ROOM EPISOCE.
At a reception a detective noticed
a young man hurrying away with a
handsome overcoat on. Not long
after he came up stairs without any.
The detective kept his eye on him.
As he expected, he went into the
hat room and issued forth with sew

door. The other made haste and

but was caught and in custody in a
twinkling. The strange part of it is
that this vnuno- man. who was a
clerk with a fair salary, had hired
the hack, drove it himseit to tne
hmiRA and made hislkrhtning chang
es without a soul noticing him. His
gentlemanly appearance gave him
entrance without question, and
the booby at the door never paid
attention to his repeated exits and
entrances.
AN ODD MISTAKE.
' The deteptive'a nresence at these
merrymakings has caused funny
complications once or twice. A la
dy one night, mistaking him tor one
of the guests, inquired cencerning
pictures and bric-a-brae, about'

Shortly afterward there was a theft
of jewelry in her own Lome, and at
her husbaud's instance that self
same detective was sent there. He
found her very merry and disposed
til treat tha matter iocularlv. When
he asked for information she only
laughed at him, and be went away
mystified. When her husband re
turned home he was greeted with a
derisive laugh. He inquired the
cause.
"Oh. I knew all alone that vou
nut mv iewelrv awav to frighten
me," she said. "When that gentle
man called this afternoon to play
detective, 1 saw the trick at once."
hv. what do vou mean C in
quired her husband.
"O, pshaw 1 how could you le so
stupid? I remembered him as a
friend of the , a ever since the
wedding there. I knew he was a
friend of yours at once, and I prom
ise you I was ready for him."
She lout her iubilance the moment
she learned who had made the mis
take. How We Breathe.
The rapiditv of the respiratory
movements in man is about one in
spiration to four heart-beats, or fif
teen to twenty-five per minute;
greatly varying, however, according
to age, sex and circumstances. In
animals of high temperature,breath
ing is much ia9ter, becoming almost
a tremor in birds. : In the whale, on
the contrary, breathing is suspended
while the animal is under tne wa
ter, it being supplied with reservoirs
of pure blood. When the latter is
exhausted the creature comes to the
surface and puffs and u blows " to
obtain air and fill the reservoirs.
The difference in the color of the
blood of vertebrates is chiefly due
to the varying amounts of oxygen
in chemical combination with the
hemoglobin of the red corpuscles
the brightness ot color being pro
portionate to the oxygen. An es
sential part of the hemoglobin is
iron; and it has been supposed that
the change in color is due to a chem
ical change from a ferrous to a ter
riesalt But this simple and plau
sible explanation is now denied by
eminent physiologists, who admit,
however, that the iron has some es
sential but unknown influence. A
minor cause of the darker color of
the blood is the swelling of the cor
puscles by the absorbtion of carbon
ic acid. The corpuscles are the ox
ygen carriers, seizing the oxygen in
the lungs and conveying it to the
tissues, where it unites with carbon
hydrogen.
In larger quantity, carbonic acid
acts as a narcotic poison ; for on ac
count of its superior attraction fcr
b.T-ogoblin, it replaces and excludes
the oxygen. Other gasses, as nitric
oxide, have the same effect
The human lungs exhale in twen
ty four hours about two pounds of
carbonic acid. This is the product
of the' burning of nine ounces of
carbon. As giving some idea of the
forces within the body, it is interest
ing to know that the combustion of
nine ounces of carbon liberates over
six million foot-pounds of energy.
This is equivalent to more than one
eighth of a horse-power acting con
tinuously for tweuty-four hours, or
it equals 1S2 horse-powers working
for one minute.
The Hindoo Idea of Marriage.
A Hindoo has curious ideas as to
the married stale. Here is a hus
band's creed : . A wian, both day
nigbt must keep his wife sj much
in subjection that she may not
be mistress of her own actions. If
the wife have her own free will, not
withstanding she is f a superior
caste, she will go nming. A woman
shall never go outof her huuse with
out the coownt of her husband, and
shill pay proper respect to her hus
band's father, the spiritual guide,
and ber guests, and shall not eat
until she has served them with vit
uals (if it is medicine she may take
it before they eat) ; a woman shall
never go to a stranger's house, and
shall never stand at the door, and
must never look out of the window.
If a woman, following her inclina
tions, goes wheresoever she choees,
and does not regard the words of her
master, such a woman ehosld be
turned away. If a man goes on a
journey, bis wife shall not . divert
herself by play, nor see any public
snow, nor laugh, nor dress herself
with jewels or fine clothes, nor see
dancing, nor hear music, nor sit at
the window, or ride out, nor behold
anything choice or rare ; 'but shall
fasten well the house do and re
main private, and shall not eat any.
dainty rituals, and Bhall not view
herself in a mirror ; she shall not
exercise herself in any agreeable
employment during the absence of
her husband."
A bad jury in alaw-euit perjury.
How Grant Saved Us.
An interesting story of General
Grant's magnanimity at the close of
the war, and his keen sense of honor,
comes to the Time from its New
York correspondent. The war was
over, General Lee and his half star
ved Confederates had returned to
their desolate homes on their parole
of honor. ..The victorious armies un
der Grant and Sherman were en
camped in and around Washington
and Jeff Davis was in Fortress Mon
roe. General Grant and Rawlins were
playing a game of billiards in the
National hotel and two civilians
were indulging in that pastime on
an opposite table. A major entered
the room in a hurry and whispered
to Grant The latter laid his cue on
the table, saying: 'Rawlins, don't
disturb the balls until I return," and
hurried out ' One of the civilians
said to the other: "Pay for the game
and hurry out ; there is something
up."
In front of the hotel stood amount
ed sentinel. Grant ordered the sol
dier to dismount, and springing into
the saddle rode up the avenue so
fast as to attract attention. The first
civilian questioned the soldier as to
the cause but was answered with a
look of surprise of one who knew
nothing. On being told of the Gen
eral's breakneck ride it was decided
to go the War Department and learn
the cause, if possible. Colonel Bar
roll, of the Second regular infantry,
was, disbursing officer in the quar
termaster's department, and to the
Colonel one of the civilians went for
information. Asking him if he knew
the reason of General Grant's hasty
action and if he had seen the. hero
of the hour around the department,
Colonel Borroll answered "yes," but
was surprised at anybody's know
ledge of the event When told of
what transpired the colonel said:
Well, as you are sware of the
coming of General Grant I will tell
you all about it providing you
promise not to repeat it
' Secretary Stanton sent for me in
reference to the execution of certain
orders, and while listening to the in
structions General Grant came in.
The Secretary greeted the General
with a pleasant "Good morning."
which the latter returned and said:
"Mr. Secretary, I understand that
you have' issued orders for the ar
rest of General Lee and others,, and
I desire to know if such orders have
been placed in the hands of any
officer for execution."
"I have issued writs for the ar
rest of all the prominent rebels, and
officers will be dispatched on the
mission soon," replied the Secre
tary. "Mr. Secretary, when General Lee
surrendered to me at Appomattox, I
gave him my word and honor that
neither he nor any of his followers
would be disturbed so long as they
obeyed their parole of honor. I
have learned nothing to cause me to
believe that any of my late adver
saries have broken their promises,
and have come here to make you
aware of the fact, and would also
suggest that those orders be cancel
ed." "General Grant are you aware
whom you are talking to? I am
the secretary of war."
Quick as flash Grant answered
back : "I am General Grant Issue
those orders at your peril." Then
turning on his heel Grant walked
out as unconcerned as if nothing had
happened.
"It is needless to say." continued
Colonel Barroll, "that neither Lee
nor any of his soldiers were arrested
I was dismissed from the presence
of the secretary with the remark
that my services in connection with
arrest of the leading rebels would be
dispensed with until he took time
to consider, and I now await the re
sult of his decision."
Like some cases in law, that de
cision of the great war secretary was
reserved for all time, but . whether
the game of billiards was ever play
ed to an end has never been definite
ly known.
Cost or Loaf or Bread.
: Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
tbe eminent statician, has sent to
the Senate Committee on Labor and
Education a very elaborate calcula
tion showing tbe cost of a loaf of
bread made at the east from the
grain grown on the fields of Iowa
and Dakota, anil how the cost is dis
tributed. This history of the cost of
a loaf of bread is a very interesting
and ingenious one, and at the same
time very simple. Of the value of
one hundred barrels of flour, 1300
goes to the Dakota farmer, the
freight to Boston will be 1197.50;
the barrels will cost $45, the grind
ing $50, and the commissions and
cartage $40, making the total cost of
the hundred barrels of Hour CGS250
baker then takes the. hundred bar
rels of flour and adds $210 worth of
oven-heat and yeast, and $200 worth
of labor, so that when the flour goes
into the f hop lor sale in the shape
of three thousand loaves of bread it
has cost tl,0!)2.50 an equivalent of
31 cents a pound. For this bread
the baker or retail .dealer gets 7
cents a pound. That is to buy, the
baker and grocer in Boston get
about half the money paid for a bar
rel of flour, the farmc r gets a filth
and railroads one tenth, the miller,
merchant and cooper, one-fourteenth.
.......
Mr. Atkinson's object in this cal
culation seems to have been two
fold first and most important, to
show the poor people of this coun-,
try who live from hand to mouth
that their bread costs thetn about
double what jt would if they should,
inako it at home ; and secondly, that
uiost of the profit on a loaf of bread
does not go to the farmer and to tbe
railroads. The figures show that
the Dakota farmer and the railroad
companies pet onlv three-tenths of
the price paid for a loaf of bread in
Boston, and tbe baker, the grocer,
the miller and the middle man get

of Dead Balnea.
There is a basement in eighth are.,
which is occupied by a plasterer as
a place of busness. There is noth
ing noteworthy in that fact, but.
there is a peculiarity about the place
which is that the ' plasterer has a
sign out announcing that he moulds
the heads of dead infants. Several
specimens of the kind of work are
displayed at the entrance of the
Shop, fc. -4,..
The plasterer was found in the
basement surrounded by benches,
tools, ceiling ornament8,fntgmenta of
cornices and half finished busts in
plaster, dimly suggestive of various
distinguished persons. He was ask
ed if the idea of making a business
of taking casts of the features of dead
children was original with him, and
be said that he had never heard of
anybody else doing anything in that
line. The people, in the neighbor
hood, he added,' were inostly Irish
and lived in tenement houses.
Formerly no expense was too great
for them so far as a funeral was con
cerned, and he had happen to come
in for a little share of the profits. .
"One day," said the plasterer, "a
man came down here and said he
had just lost bis baby. . He saw an
old plaster cast at the top of the
steps, and it struck him that he'd
have something like that to remem
ber his baby by. , He insisted that
I should go to his house with him
and model the baby's head, and as I
had a tarte for that kind of work
we struck up a bargain. I made a
pietty good cast if I do say it my
self, and I got (10 for the job.
Did you have much of that kind
of work to do after that?"
."Well, this man set the. fashion,
as you might say,- There are a good
many people n tenement houses
and the children die off pretty fast
In had a good deal to do for a while
and I had to hire an extra band to
help in the common plastering. But
after a time the people had got poor,
or the casts got to be too common,
or there were toq many in one fami
ly, or something, and there isn't any
money in it now."
"So, you leave your sign out as a
matter of form ?" . .--
"That's about all. . In fact, I've
forgotten what it says. I guess I'll
go up and take a look at it"
- Action or Alcohol on tbe Heart.
Dr. N. B. Richardson, of London,
says he was recently able to convey
a considerable amount of conviction
to an intelligent scholar by a simple
experiment The scholar was sing
ing the praises of the "ruddy bump
er," and saying he would not get
through the day without it, when
Dr. Richardson said to him : " Will
you be good enough to feel my pulse
as I 6tand here?" He did so. I
said, 'count it carefully ; what does
it say ?' ' Your pulse says 74.' I
then sat down in a chair, and asked
him to count it again. He did so,
and said, 'your pulse has gone down
to 70.' I then lay down on the
lounge, and said, ' Will you take it
again ?' He replied, ' why, it is only
04 ; what an extraordinary thing !'
I then said, ' When you lie down at
night that is the way nature gives
your heart rest You know nothing
about it, but that beating organ is
resting to that extent, and if you
reckon it up it is a great deal of rest,
because in lying down the heart is
doing ten strokes lesss a minute.
Multiply that by sixty, and it is six
hundred ; multiply it by eight hours
and within a fraction it is five thou
sand strokes different and as the
heart is throwing six ounces of blood
at every stroke, it makes a difference
af thirty thousand ounces of lifting
during the nighty. When 1 lie down
at night without any alcohol, that is
the rest my heart gets. But when
you take your wine or grog joa do
not allow that rest, for the influence
of alcohol is to increase the number
of strokes, and tbe result is you rise
up very seedy, and unfit for the next
days s work till you have taken a
little moee of the ' ruddy bumper,'
which you say is tbe soul oi man
below."

A SI Old Rat.
. Two or three mornings ago one of
our citizens missed rive of bis
young chickens. Lifting a board
near the chickens he scared a large
rat away, and found the missing
chickens dead and partially eaten.
He found, also a nest of 13 active,
healthy little rats, only a day or two
old." He took them away, determin
ed that they should not grow, up to
kill his chickens. He disposed of
four of them by feeding them to the
cat, and saved the rest for some pur
posfr, he did not know for what
He happened 'to be speaking of the
matter to a friend, when the latter
suggested that , if he put the little
rats into a box and put them into a
rat trap the old rat would find them
and come after them, and if the trap
was nicely baited he could capture
the ;olj rat nd thus destroy the
family. He thought that a good
idea and tried it The next morning
he found tbe trap sprung and the
old rat there in. He rushed to the
tiap, satisfied with the result of his
experiment Tbeoldratsawhim coin
ing, and putting forth extra efforts,
succeeded in escaping from the trap.
Then he. looked for the little ones,
thinking he would set the trap again
in tbe same way,' when he discover
ed that the old rat had carefully re
moved the little ones to a place of
safety before running any risk itself
and now bad gone to jsin them.

Premature burial, could, it is
said, be avoided by a single test,
which, if reliable, should be univer
sally known. It is that the bard,!
ball-like substance of tbe eye con not
be felt in the body of a dead person,
as the eyeballs become soft and
yield to pressure the day after death,
and are softer still twenty-four hours
later. On this subject it is related
that Prescott, the bistorion, always
entertained a peculiar dread of be
ing buried alive, and lie had there
fore often requested that measures
should be taken to prevent all pos
sibility of the horrors that might
follow such an occurrence. His in
junctions were obeyed. A princi
pal vein was severed, so that, if life
should again be awakened, it might
ebb silently away without any pos
sible return to consciousness. Lon

Some Foolish People.
Allow a cough to run until it gets
beyond the reach of medicine. They
often say, Oh it will wear away, but
in most cases it wears them r.wav.
Could they be induced to try the
successful medicine called Kemp's
Balsam, which we sell on a positive
guarantee to cure, they would imme
diately see the excellent effect after
taking the first dose. Price 50c ts.

TortKA, Kan., June 3. There is
now no doubt but that the Hessian
fly is doing as much damage if Dot
more than did the cold weather last
winter and the surplus wheat' of
Kansas will dwindle down to small
proportions. Fields that three
weeks ago promised one-half to three
quarters of a crop, are ruined and
will be turned over and millet put
