SIGN PICTURES OF BURGLARS.

Tbe amateur Sherlock Holmos has
idod author chapter to his little note
book which records the significance cf
trifles that are important clews to the
dijius .f the criminal classes. Spots of
iiik, cigar ashen, marks ou the finger and
tlie articles of dust in the f jlds of an
tmbrelia are ail eloquent to this observ
ant fkT after truth as revealing
times, places and occurrences in which
people may have been eugaged. There is
a whole literature on the ruuds of New
York and vicinity, thf ir color and con
sistency and the various degrees of at
mospheric moisture under which they
will be reduced to a fluid state, while
toothpicks and matches as characteristic
of various restaurants and localities are
full of meaning.
"ow it arpears, by what the amateur
Sherlock Holmes has been revealing in
a moment of confidence, that the dead
w alls of Now York. 6toops of houses.
basement entrances and area gateways
are tbe signposts of the criminal clashes,
and that what look like tbe rude 6crawl
ings of boys are in reality the 6ecrct
symbols by "which burglars communicate
with each other.
Chalk mai ks under the edge of one of
your front stej may mean that your
house has been spotted and will be bro
ken into on a certain date. A rude draw
ing on the area railings may to the en
lighten eye of the initiated mean:
"This niffl "has a burglar alarm on his
second story windows and keeps a revolv
er undt-r his pillow, but the silver is in
the butler' pantry on the first floor, and
the hon3 may be tutored through the
6"cond bi-emrnt window, where the
latch is broki.ji."
The fraternity which has developed
this sign language to such a high degree
of perfection shows considerable ingenu
ity in its digu, but no attempt is mads
at accuracy of drawing, as that wculd
attract atu-utiou. The sign pictures of
tbe burglars are made to look as much
like the rude scrawls of schoolboys as
possible.
Three figures were found scrawled on
the gateway of one bouse. The informa
tion thus r ictorially conveyed was to the
effect that the house was tenanted by a
lady, one woman servant and a boy page.
That he was a boy page was indicated
by buttons on bis coat, and tbe servant
was indicated by a short skirt, dotted to
rca-mble a print dress.
Another picture in the notebook of
the amateur Sherlock Holmes was more
easily deciphered, as it showed merely a
fierce bulldog guarding the house, a
warning to all members of the frater
nity. The nest sign, taken from a house
in tbe suburbs, was more mysterious and
complicated, but niton a study it finally
resolved itself into the announcement
that the man who lived there went out
to business at 9 in the morning and re
turn at 6 in the evening.
Another 2'icture gathered by the ama
teur Sherlock Holmes during his pains
taking investigation of this subject
showed accurate information, as was
subsequently discovered, upon the part
of the sign writer as to the interior of
the house. It indicated that there were
three electric bells on the windows, and
that one woman servant was employed.
A crude drawing taken from under the
edge of a stoop indicated that the serv
ant there had been "squared," and this
house presumably was ju.-t ready to be
burglarized. Some of tle booty expect ed
to be secured, together with warnings as
le difficulties to be met with.

sp.xjus, coin and plate, together wita
the statement that the place was "Al,"
but there were significant sketches of a
dog, a revolver and electric bells to put
the thieves upon their guard as to what

Frequently the burglars, says the
amateur Sherlock Holmes, put these
sigu pictures on houses remote from
those to which they refer, and in this
cae the ideutitvof the latter is revealed

now 3.000 leiiers in Portugal, 1,770 in
Norway, 6,000 in liassia and about
2.000 oil told in other European coun

Canton, China, not less than 10,000.

ABOUT INDIAN MONKEYS.
Tha Method They I.mpIoT Whew Bobbin
a Corafield.
It is still an article of faith, not only
in India, but in all lands where mon
keys go in pucks, that they have a king,
laws and language of course. Saving the
first item and duly limiting the others,
the belief is sound no doubt But Ibn
Batuta tells us, ou the authority of
"pious persons" he met in India, that
the king lives in state. Four noblemen
always attend him with rods in their
hands and cooks serve him on their
knees.
The king has a train of "armed fol
lowers. " When a subject is caught, he
contrives to send a message to the sov
ereign, who forthwith dispatches an
army, and when they come to the town
they pull down the h uses and beat the
people, and their armies, it is said, are
many. This is not quite so ridiculous as
it looks, for the sacred apes that fre
quent an Indian village will readily
gather to avenge an injury, and it is a
common practice with them to destroy
the huts when angered.
They have a great many children,
and when a child is unlike its father
and mother it is thrown out on the high
road. Then they are taken by the Hin
doos, who teach them every sort of
handicraft, or sea them at nignt, ma
they may not find their way home.

and most complete effects of harmony.
of modulation and of that simultaneous
progression of melexlies in polyphonic
combination which is most completely
illustrated in the form of composition
known as the fugue. It is so for two or
three reasons. In the first place it is the
only instrument in which the sounds aie
sustained with the same intensity for
any required length cf time after they
are first emitted. However long a note
may have to be sustained, its full value
is there till the moment the finger quits
the key, a quality which is invaluable
v.he-n we are dealing with long suspe-n
sions and chains of sound. Secondly, the
opiortuniTy of playing the bass with the
feet f'n the pedals, leaving the left hand
free for the inner parts, puts within the
grasp of a single player a full and ex
tended harmony and a f relom in manip
ulation such as no other instrument cf
fords. Thirdlv, and in the case especial
ly of fugue compositions, the immense
volume and power eif thepeelal notes im
part a graudeur to the entry of the bass
part in the composition such as no other
medium for producing music can give
us. In the time of Bach this splendid
source of musical effect was confined to
the great organs of Germany.
The English organs of the day had in
general no pe-' j! board, and it is prob
ably owing to this fact more than to any
thing eL-c tli;:t Han:lels published organ
music is so light, and even ephemeral
in style as compared with Bach's; tliat
he m ated the eirgan, as Spitta truly ob
serves, merely like a larger and more
powerful harpsichord. Without the aid
of the jiedal it would be rather difficult
to do othervri.c, and the English organ

The Scope of the Atlanta Exposition.
From Harper's Weekly.
Whoever thinks that the Cotton
States and International Exposition at
Atlanta will he a mere copy of the
Chieago World's Fair in miniature is
as much in error as he who supposes it
to be a show designed to interest
Southerners alone. The truth lies mid
way between these two extremes. Pri
marily, of course, the purjK of the
management has been to cause the
Southern people to realize what they
e-an and must do to keep abre-ast of the
great lusines world, and to show
Northern and foreign investors what a
mau of jiotontial wealth is storeil in
the South in natural resounvs which
ne-J nly capital and energy for their
rapid development; and incidentally
to attract to Atlanta a multitude ef out
siders who could lie elrawn bv no ex
position of narrow scope. To the lat
ter end, theeream of the Chicago Fair
has been skimmed for Atlanta's use,
and mauy new and striking features
have been added. The visitor at Chi
cago, if he attempted to pick his way
through miles of exhibits w hich did
not esjH'cially interest him in order to
finl some which did, and after spend
ing the w hole six months in the dili
gent exercise of all his faculties, came
away with a sense of the stupendous-
nests and splendor of the show, and the
incapacity of one human mind to grasp
iL At Atlanta it will be possible for
an intelligent visitor to give two weeks
or three to the systematic study ef the
exposition, and cover the grouiul satis
factorily.
Yet the Atlanta Exposition is by no
menus a small affair. Its projectors
claim for it the honor of being next to
the largest world's fair ever held. Its
site is a natural park aliout three miles
from the heart of the city. From a
ridge which marks its outside li;nd
ary the land slopes tlown toward a la-
siu in the centre, which is utilized for
the bed of an artificial lake. The atn
phithe'atric topography of the grounds
lends itse lf readily to see-tacular use-s.
Fine sweeping vistas are obtained from
every jioint; and with the lake for a
scenic focus, and a fringe of fore-st fol
iage skirting the fence for prebably
two-thirds of the entire circumference,
nothing is left to lie desired in the way
of broad landse'ape effects.
Partly for the sake of harmony with
their surroundings, and partly for
reasons tf economy, eight ef the eleven
main buildings have been designed on
line's of cottage rather than of classic
are-hitee-ture. They are simply big,
airy, wedl-lightenl wooden rinks.' Their
sides and roofs are of clapboard and
shingles; their window frame's and
sashe's, though large', areof convention
al pattern. The; are the buildings
elcdicated to inae-hinery, electricity,
manufactures and the lilteTal arts, ag-
rie-ulture, and transiortation; the da
ted States (iovernmeiit, the Negro, the
Administration, ami the Georgia Man
ufacturers' Association buildings. All
except the last name'd are painted slate-
e-eilor, with dull green rofs ami white
trim, so as to I as unobsimsive as
Issib!e; the (ieorgia Manufae-turcr.s'
Association, as if in protest against the
general uniforiiiity of tone, has painted
its building a light orange-color. Of
the three main buildings which are
outside of the e-ommon archite-e'tural
scheme, two the Wemian's Buildings
and the Hall of Fine Arts are classic
in outline and cove-reel with white stall".
The remaining one is the Minerals and
Forestry Building, which has a llat
roof and a large eK-tagonal tower in the
centre, and whose side's have a rustic
surface of split !gs with the bark on.
The largest of the main buildings is
that ef manufacture's and the liberal
arts which is S-V5 feet long and "Sm; fee-t
wide; the smallest is the Woman's
Building, 1501 by 1-S feet.
In one re-spe-e-t the nieK-lianical and
electrie-al exhibits at Atlanta will becs
lecial!y noteworthy, if not unique.
There has been no eirort to bring to-ge-ther
a collection of niachines merely
to show the details eif their construe
tion. Every one is an inte-gral jmrt if
the exposition itself, to that we have
under the eye at once their anatomy
ami their physiology- the ceil lection eif
imrts, their oeration when energized,
ami a demonstration tf their jeTform
anceeifthe functions for which they
are designed. For example', the elef

exhibition for the purpose of attract

The Care of Lamps.
Some one has said that it take-s a wo
man of i u telligenre to t ri nt a lam p-w ick
properly. It is as certain that this
small office is one that is often poorly
acconiplishe-d as it is that it is one on
whie-h the comfort of a roomful of ter
sons may depend. The last reading in
lamp regulations pree-lude-s any trim
ming, but instead scraping off the
charred wie-k with a visiting card, any
a clipping them of any loose strings
that may remain. The corners should
be clipped off somewhat as the linger
nails are shaped by a manicure, and
with this daily treatment the wie-k
should give no trouble. Black, stickd
burners will be restored to almost pris
tine freshness by boiling them in vine
gar, to which twoteasprionsful of salt
have lieen added. And lastly, polish
the chimneys with a cloth dipped in
alcohol, touching no water to them.

General Grant in Japanese Eyes.
In The Century ispriute-d a transla
tion of "portions of a (plaint Japanese
life of (ieiieml (iraut The following
is nn extract from it :
In the spring ef his seventeenth year
he expressed a great thought to his
father and addressed him, saying, "I
have in 1113 mind the thought that,
when four years from to-day have pass
ed, I shall not be doing this kind of
laUir." The father, thinking it a
strange thing, said: "Io you hate
your father's hereditary trade? Do you
hate to liecome a leather maker and
spend your life thus? What profes
sion, then, do yeu exixi-t to adopt in
future? Ik you expect t f? into the i
fields carrying a sickle and a hoe? ! j
you expect to sell and buy things in
the market? Or do you fix yourcye
fialls upon books of 10,00.) volume's, and
elesire to speculate reasons and promote
moralities, anil become a man of wide ;
knowlHlge?" (iuarando K'K-ii, re
plying to tlu'se questions, said : "To
cultivate the field and become a farm
er is well, but to spend the whole life as
a hireling is not well. To tike a eoro
bau (counting mae-hine) ami b-.'come a
merchant and gain profit is well, but
along w ith it to m ike bad practice is
not my de-sire." Contrary to all this,
our ancestors, in the war of inde-ie-nd-ence
of this country, sowed great merit,
I hear. I also, entering a military
school, will have to show my arm in
the time of gre-at things. Oh, Father
Kuen, how is it?" The father, being
exceedingly glad, did as he wished.

Hope's Flattering Tals.
The life insurance agent bit his lip,
kicked the wall and threw a liook at
his cat. Then he felt U-tter, but not
much better, for fate had been treating
him unkindly, not only punching him
unmercifully, while he was up, but
beating him fiercely while he was
down.
"I'll tell you my miserable story,"
he said to a chance caller, "ami jkt
Ii:ih evoke your pity. There were
three of the'in, partners in crime, I le
lieve, and I persuaded each of them to
make an application for fifteen thousand
dollars life insuranev. And it took a
lot of e-rsuading, to.). First of all I
gave them a dinner, the-w took them
to the theater, and then bought dolls
for their little girls. Each of them
touched me for a small loan. I could
afford these little attentions, as my
commission on the business would
have liet-n aliout one thousand dollars.
"I was hugging myself ut the pros
pect of the commissions, and every
time one of them fe-lt doubtful aliout
Ix-iiig able to afford so much insurance
I gave him a meal or a box of cigars to
'jolly him along.
"They were all three examined em
the same day and all three were reject
ed. Though they lookeel he'althy they
had about all the diseases under the
sun and they knew it. They had board
ed at some time or other at the expense
of almost every insuranev agent in
town.''
Queer Questions.
There are half a doz-.-n e-ollections be
longing to the last century of questions
and answers. They are called the
Athenian Oracle, the Itrilish Apollo
and other titles. I'.otli the questions
and answers are most curious and inter
esting. Of course, a large part are r?
ligious or rather Ilibiical, but m-iny il
lustrate old bi'Iiefs aud superstitions.
For instance, here are evrtain Ilibiical
questions:
How long did Adam and Eve con
tinue in a state of innocene-y ?
Why did not Adam name the fish?
Why do Angels have wings?
Who was Cain's wife?
Were there other floods lie-sides that
of Noah?
Why were ignorant men chosen as
apostles?
Where did the cs-k stand when he
was he-ard by all the world ?
Where was Job going when he was
12 years of age ?
Were there rainbows ltcfore the
fl.iod?
And he-re are certain secular ques
tions :
"Why do elephants have no joints?
What iiecomes eif the llame when the
candle is blown out?
Why do drowned men flwt on their
backs and drowned women on their
faces?
Is it a comfort to the unhappy to feel
that there are others quite as unhappy
as themselves?
What is a Phenix?
Is there a rae'e of Pygmies?
Is it true that men haveonerib more
than women?
Do swans sing before they die?
What is the will o' the wisp?
Why are wits always cowards?
The-se questions the hook treat sol
emnly, and provide learned answers
for them. Lnwlon Otmn.
Tbe Modern Steer.
The tye ef animal now winning in
the English fat stoe-k shows is a very
different one from the one seen twenty
or thirty years ago. Then the big
bulky animal, w ith lots of size and
patchy with fat, carrie'd the day. The
winner now has to be short-legged,
broad and deep, full in the Hank, well
sprung rlls and gmxl twist. His bot
t ni line's should bj as straight us his
top lines, and as wide, and he should
have no thick, patchy fat anywhere.
Expe-rieinv has shown the thick-bod-led,
short-le-gged steers, with full flanks,
pay the feeder best and give lest pr
fit to the butcher. Big one-s are no
longer iiecde-d. Small sizes are lest,
with plenty of quality, and with youth
on their side the meat is juicy and
tender. Age is counted in months
now, instead of years, and the change
is for the Ivttcr. .Y ir York Worltl.
An old gentleman gave goenl ad
viev to a young lady who complained
of sleeplessness. He said; "iA-arn how-
to breathe and darken your room com
pletely and you won't need any doctor
ing. Not one in ten adults knows how
to breathe. To breathe perfectly Is to
draw the breath in long, elee-p inhala
tions, slowly and regularly, so as to re
lieve the lower lungs ef all noxious ac
cumulations. Shallow breathing won't
do this. I have overeotn-; nausea, head
ache, sleeplessness, seasickness, and
even more serious threuteuings by
simply going through a breathing ex
ercise p'jmpiug from my lower lungs,
as it were', all the malarial inhalations
of the day by long, s!ow,'ample breaths.
Try it before going to bed, making sure
of standing where you can inhale pure
air, and then darken your room e m
pletely. We live too much in an electric
glare by night If you still suffer from
sle-eple-ssness after this experiment Is
fairly tried, I shall bs surprised."

Eoraz as a Fruit Preservative.
Here Is what Rural New Yorker says
of it: A liorax prodmvr in California is
said to U' experimenting with this sub
stance us a fruit preservative. The fre-sh
fruit is to !e jtcked in barrels with the
powdered Imrax. A shipment of cher
ries pae ke-d in this way reached Chicago
in "prime condition." This is far more
honest than it is to buy 5 cents' worth
of liorax, mix it with a little salt, sugar,
ete1., name it "Preservaline," and sell
it for 50 cents, but it will not prove
profitable. liorax sliould not be used
on fruit just lie-fore it is to lie eaten.
While it will undoubtedly keep the
fruit in a fresh condition, it is injurious
(o health, and the health lioards in
large cities where fruit is sold will sure
ly prohibit its use.

MAKE LIFE EASY
For the Old Folks-How This Was
Done for aa Altoona Lady.
Our representative called at 1703 ICth
street and bad a pleasant chut there wua
an Altoona lady who is T.i years of anj
and has that to say which wiil interest
old peo;'c as well as young Mri l . M.
Enjjle was her name aud her case is only
an endorsement of many others that hae
come to our notice. "Yes." said M
Engle, "I have used Doan's Kidney lU!a
and they have cured my back. I have
been troubled with kidney ailment fir
years. I-'or the laft : months I w in
continual misery, thinking if I did not
get help I should not be here long. At
different times I have consulted physi
cians, who have made the startling an
nouncement that my complaint was
BrigkCs disease. Their treatment never
seemed to benefit any. Sly back tx-came
almost unbearable with pair. across my
kidneys. The flesh was sore to tbe
touch; the very weight of my cl.the
hurt me. I could not turn around i:b
out taking bold of something I rod
about Doan's Kidney Tills; thought they
might help me. I got some at J Ross
Mateer's drug store and since I have
been taking them I am like a difT-rent
woman. 1 felt better after the second
day of their use. Now I suffer none of
that terrible pain whatever, my apprtite
is improved; I do r.ot have to get up dur
ing the night as formerly. I am 7.1 yeaM
of age and the other day I took a long
walk over the hills, something which 1
was unable to do before taking Iio.in's
Kidney Pills. I wish the rr..prietor of
so great a remedy every success with
mv heart."
