, The aid lent by the photograph in
lhe capture of thieves and criminals jfon
erally ii well known to renders of news
papers, as is also tho fact that there is a
"Rogues' Gallery" in tho police head
quarters of every large city. Hut it la
not so well known that many difficulties
attend tho photographing of criminals,
and ludicrous results are often tho out
come. A largo picture hanging in In
spector Byrncs's room exemplifies this
fact. It represents the photographing of
Thomas Feathcrstonc, a noted burglar.
lie is forcibly held in a chair by four offi
cers, and is struggling as violently as a
man can struggle under the circumstances.
His head is held up by one of the officers,
whose hands are entwined in his hair,
and tho other officers are straining their
muscles to hold him in a sitting position.
Nine rogues out of every ten strenuously
object to having thoir pictures taken, and
it is mainly for this reason that the
whereabouts of the official photographer
is kept a profound secret.
This introduces the fact that there is
a photographer under a standing con
tract with tho Police Department of this
city to take tho pictures of rogues, and
it is stipulated in his contract that ho
shall give no information to newspapers.
The predecessor in office of this artist
was discovered in the act of doing a lu
crative business by selling copies to the
rogues themselves of the photographs
taken for the department, and his official
career was brought to a sudden termina
tion. The present incumbent is a very differ
ent sort of man. His place is not in the
Police Headquarters Building, but it is
conveniently near by. Detective Ser
geant Adams, tho custodian of the photo
graph and record department of head
quarters, is charged with tho duty of
preparing the subjects for their sittings.
Ilia first step is to measure the subject
and cxamino his body for any scars or
marks, tattooed or other, all of which are
carefully noted and recorded.
Then the man or woman, as the sub
ject may be, is politely informed that it
will be necessary to sit for a photograph.
If any objection is made, and, as before
Enid, objection usually is made, tho
prisoner is invited to look at the Feather
stone picture or one similar to it and told
that ho can have his choice and be photo
graphed in that way or so as to make a
respectable appearance. Then ho is es
corted to t,he gallery, when he is brought
neeTTo face with a camera that is only
used as a foil if the prisoner is obstreper
ous. The camera that does the work is
concealed.
The prisoner hangs his head, say, and
refuses to look up when asked to do so
or shuts his eyes and distorts his face.
Tho photographer makes a feint with the
camera in sight, takes out the plate and
exclaims, "Oh, pshaw! Thst is spoiled!"
or words to that effest, and walks hur
riedly out of the room. Tho prisoner
raises his head at once and looks pleas
ant. Ho has outwitted the photographer.
I hen the concealed camera gets in its
lino work and the rogue is still more sur
prised and pleased at being told that he
can go.
' "Many of them actually leave tho
place," said Detective Adams, "under
the impression that wo have failed to get
a picture, but we also seldom fail to get
a good picture. Most of the bad pic
tures in our collection come from west
ern cities, where, I presume, the facilities
for taking them are either not so good as
ours or the rogues stand in-less dread of
the police."
j Women often begin by protesting vio
lently, and declaring they will die be
fore they will allow their pictures to be
jtaken, but they are frequently mollified
;by a little persuasion, and then they end
by asking for a comb and brush to
("primp" up for the sitting. Often they
ask for copies of the photograph to send
Ito their admirers. Some of the argu
jmeuts that influence women are curious.
A noted offender in the "panel line,"
jaftcr Btrenuously objecting, was finally
'persuaded to have a good picture taken,
by Inspector Byrnes's suggestion that
itho picture would be seen b y a great
jmany persons, and might bo the means
lot securing her an admirer. And yet
she was not a handsome woman.
It is a suggestive parallel that tho An
jarchist, Johaun Most, after he had been
'captured hiding under a bed, protested
'vehemently when the Inspector proposed
'to photograph him, but finding it inevi
table, culled for a comb and brush and
smoothed his hair. Most, it will be re
membered, threatened to bring suit
against tho department and everybody
(connected with it for putting his picture
on the "Hogues Gallery, but eventually
he changed his mind.
. Among the noted fenialo offenders
(wbo8e pictures bear evidence of their ef
forts to defeat the work of the camera
;are Annie Hcrmau, a shoplifter, whose
head is thrown saucily on one side, with
jher eyes shut and her mouth distorted to
a griu. Maria Burke, a partner of the
jformcr, assumes a more modest attitude,
with her head held dowu, eyes shut,
(mouth screwed up. Mag Morton, a
jpaiiel thief, has her head down and her
(eyes shut. "Mollie" Moore, a shoplifter,
'kept her eyes wide open, but drew in

and looks like- a bright aud innocent one,
is a daughter of Langdon V. .Moore, alius

The Czar Appeased the Merchants.
The last issue of Itusskaya Starina
brings an anecdote which characterizes
the treatment accorded b the highy Rus
sian nobility to the lower classes. In
1856, when the coronation of Emperor
Alexander II. took place, the merchants
of Moscow applied for the permission to
give a banquet to their new monarch.
The permission was granted them, and a
banquet was prepared at the Exerzirhaus
for 3200 guests, to which the highest
nobility and military dignitaries were in
vited. Among the invited guests, of
course, was the Governor-General of
Moscow, Count Zakrevsky. Arriving at
the hall he found at the door a number
of merchants ready to receive him and to
offer him the honor of presiding at the
table. But as soon as he noticed them
he asked :
"What are you doing here?"
"We have come to meet our monarch,
your illustrious excellency," answered the
old man on the committee.
"What?" said the Governor. "You
have paid for this banquet; that will do
lor vou. row bo off with you."
The merchants disappeared. This ex
travagant sally of the Governor-General
was brought to the cognizance of the
Emperor the same day He was much
displeased with tho deportment of the
official. He immediately ordered that
the merchants who had been so slighted
be invited to the dinner of the Court
Marshal the next day. On that occasion
ho banqueted together with them, paid
them compliments for the affair they had
given in his honor the previous day, and
pronounced a toast wherein he spoke in
flattering terms of the patriotism and
uscfulnesss of the Moscow merchants.

The Heroes of Marathon.
The excavations in a hill on the plain
of Marathon, by the Archaeological So

the discovery of charred bones, believed
to be the remains of the 193 Athenians
who fell in the famous battle. Several
years ago Dr. Schliemann made excava

no success, and reuounced the work. The
charred bones were found at a depth of
thirty-nine feet, near the base of tua hill,
iu addition to the remains urns were

the greatest whaling port in the world,
With the decline of the whaling industry,
however, mills were erected, and now the
town has become a manufacturing rather
than a seaport town. A dozen aband

long past days. It is a strange fact that
the limbers of a whaling vessel seldom
decay. They become so permeated with
oil that they are capable of resisting

A sheep's age is known by Its front
teeth. At one year old the middle two
front first teeth drop out and permanent
large teeth take their place; at two years
one tooth on each side of these is changed ;
near three years two more permanent
tocth appear, and beforo the sheep is
four years old all the eight permauent
front teeth are in place. In some of tho
high-bred sheep maturity occurs in this
respect some months earlier, but one may
be safe about tho age of a young sheep
if there are only six largo front teeth,
with one small one on each side of them.
After four years the ago is only guessed
at by the wear of tho teeth. Sharp, clean
front teeth indicate from four to six
years; discolored and dull teeth show tho
sheep to bo old. New York Timet.

For Tery early cabbage the seed should
be sown in hotbeds, and the plants after
ward be hardened in cold frames and
transplanted to open ground as early as
possible in the spring. The lato fall and
winter varieties may be sown about the
middle of spring, and should bo trans
planted when about five inches high. It
is quite important that the long steins of
tho plants bo sct deep. At the South cab
bago may be sown in October and be trans
planted into cold frames to preserve in
the severest cold of winter, and bo set in
the open ground as soon as the season
will admit. It Is quite a good plain in
the North to raise a few plants by sowing
the seed in a box of fine earth in Febru
ary, suspending the box in a window,
then transplant as soon as the ground has
thawed out. In many portions of the
South full grown plants succeed without
winter protection. New York World.
A CHEAP SILO.
It is chronicled that tho note1 r.nck
ye farmer, John Gould, built a ,io in
his barn at Auburn Station, Oh, a, for
$43, including wages for himself to the
amount of (6.35. Ho then painted the
insido with a mixture of eight gallons of
gas tar and four gallons of gasoline, which
cost him Bixty-five cents. This com
pletely preserves the lining and does not
impart odor or flavor to tho silage. He
simply uses common sense in getting the
sides 'of his silo strong enough and the
wholo tight enough. This probably
would require some variation in every
barn where a silo may be built.
Speaking of silos, a recent writer tells
us that a silo may be a pit, a strong bin
or any kind of receptacle which will sus
tain great pressure and that is air-tight.
A barrel in a hogshead, the barrel sur
rounded with earthy or any material that
excludes the air, is one kind of a silo,
though a small one, and the corner of the
barn or cellar, boxed, and mado strong
and tight, answers the purpose. Or the
silo may bo a trench in the ground. It is
whatever may be used, according to the
device of the farmer, providing it an
swers the purposo intended, whether for
preserving largo or small quantities of
green food. New York Witness.
LIME ASD ASHES FOR FRUIT TREES.
It is a well known fact that the differ
ent varieties of fruit trees do not bloom
and ripen their fruit in all parts of this
country alike or at the same time. The
climate is usually held responsiblo for
this. Fruit growers of the Middle States,
upon hearing of tho good quality of a
certain variety of fruit grown in another
part of the country, have often sent off
for aud planted it. If the result failed to
correspond to the time and labor be
stowed upon it the planter at once
jumped at the conclusion that the cli
mate is not favorable, or that the orig'n-
ator is a fraud. This, however, is a great
mistake in many cases. Had tho soil
upon which this particular fruit done -so
well been thoroughly examined, both as
to its composure anh composition, and
had the knowledge thus gained been
brought to a practical use, a different re
sult would have followed. , I believe that
the soil, as a whole, has moro influence
over the growth of plants and trees than
the climate itself. The latter does all in
the way of hastening or retarding the
ripening of tho fruit, but the former
certainly influences greatly the life and
progress ot the tree, inasmuch as it gives
or withholds the nourishment. Hence
the value of a special manure is evi
denced. Lime and its phosphates constitute the
main ingredients of all fertilizers for
fruit trees, and many old and worn out
ore tiaras navo been made young by a
judicious application of lime, ashes, etc.
In nine cases out of every ten, where a
certain variety.of fruit which had always
done well suddenly refused to bloom and
bear, the cause will be found in the lack
of these necessary mineral substances. A
liberal application of wood ashes, or
wood ashes cndlime, will, in nearly all
such cases, again briug tho trees to their
former healthy, bearing state. Analysis
of tho composition of ground for
orchards have in the last few years con
vinced many that very much heretofore
accredited to the climate was simply
caused by the absence of these necessary
inorganic and mineral substances of the
soil. This being the case let us draw a
lesson from the above i. e., in getting
plants, trees, etc., from other parts, let
us demaud a correct analysis of tho soil
upon which that fruit attained its high
est perfection. Thus we could plant them
in the same kind of soil and suffer far
less disappointment in the result. Nur
serymen would soon become accustomed
to this new order of things, and com
plaints over failures of extra good sorts
of fruit would become exceptions where
they are now the rule. Miami Valley

THE SMALL DETAILS IN SUTTER MARINO.
There are many little details about tho
handling and care of milk which a cor
rect understanding and proper manage
ment by dairymen would go very far to
ward making the business more profitable,
and also greatly economize labor. These
small items may, in the aggregate, about
equal a "great discovery," and may,
possibly, when conjoiued with tho latter,
make even this more valuable. Too
many fail to understand the characteristics
of milk, and its haudling. To them
milk is milk, whether warm or cool, iu
good air or bad, set to cream in a pail or
fiat pan. Too few understand that the
other elements iu milk asido from fat
have much to do in preventing success
ful cream-rising. This last lack of
knowledge costs the average, butter
maker, if we are to believe our own eyes,
and chemists' reports, not less than
twelve to twenty ounces of butter for
each one hundred pounds of milk. The
sugar, albumen, and cheese in milk,
( whioh, at the time of milking, ut niuetv-
sit degrees of temperature, are all in
fluid state, and offer very little resistance
to the rising of the fats, but afterward
they take on substance, begin to coat
the fat globules and make them heavier,
and thflt means less power to rise.
Is there any method we can devise to
prevent thisf The centrifugal Is its
most perfect preventive, but as few have
this somewhat costly machine, less ex
pensive methods noed to be sought. Two
methods are yet at hand. Filling a can
eight inches in diameter and eighteen
inches deep with milk just drawn, and
setting this can, so filled, in water at
forty-three degrees, and maintaining the
temperature at that point, is one excel
lent way; but for thoso who have no
creamer, and must perforce use the 0en
pan system, their way is to dilute this
fresh drawn milk with water at one
hundred degrees, to the extent of ono
quart of water to four of milk, and set
away in a temperature of fifty-seven to
sixty-two degrees. The idea in both
cases is to retard the formation of vis
cosity, or tho appearing of the elements
in milk not fat. Quick cooling to forty
three degrees, and diluting with water,
oue fourth, practically have the same
result.
No one should disturb a pan or can ot
milk when once the temperature has be
gun to fall. The fats seem to follow
each other to the surface in little inde
pendent currents or lines, attracting the
fat from each side of this perpendicular
column, though thoy are very close to
gether. Now if wo disturb the pan or
can we throw these little currents of per
pendicular rising cream out of line, and
they may not reach tho surface. There
is economy also in keeping cans of milk
sealed by some method during muggy
weather and thunder storms. Not that
thunder sours milk ; but that the milk,
unprotected, sours much soonor during
such weather is duo to the increased
number of germs floating in tho air at
such times; a hot, moist atmosphere
being most congenial to their multiplica
tion, and the milk gets its full ehare of
tho increase. No gain in cream-rising
can bo expected by any chemical change
to the milk, as all such tend to increased
viscosity, which means increased diffi
culty in the upward movement.
Another matter, especially in the win
ter, often causes a much greater expendi
ture of labor in churning, and that is
" slowness " of cream in coming. This
can almost always be helped by adding
a quart of water at sixty-four degrees, in
which a teaspoonful of salt has been dis
solved, to each four quarts of cream,
when ready to start tho churn. A letter
before me says: "By this plan I now
churn in twenty minutes, when it took
mo three hours beforo I triod tho plan
you suggested." Tho butter comes with
a granulation that is especially fine; it
all seems to come at once, and is quickly
freed from the buttermilk, and leaves the

to securing new names for tho society, not
only of working mcmlicr. but of honornrv
members. It is believed that there will coma
to the women n sense of inspiration in tho
setting apart of ono wholo day. which can bo
planned for beforehand, the village, town or
city to bo divided off among tho existing
iiiniiuriiiniiu wi-ji-wiMieraoi me . . t. i;.;
nnd a persistent effort m. tile to ineraaso ths

little attention has latterly been civen to in-
creasing tno niimiwr of pled;cd alistuinera;
and no work could bo entered main fnr n.lnv
that would promise more of blessing to the
individual life, to the home aud tnthuuatton.
Will not each white ribboner, as she rends

asking for a blessing on that dav. and nledci
herself to be, if possible, among those who

mtSONAL EXPERIIXCI.
In uoclimug wine a man said recently- "I
have no perjudiee whatever against tho use
ui liquors, i iniuii tno question is purely
personal and I decided for myself years age.
1 rail always been in tho habit of drinking
nnd had nevei found that I n I lowed liquor
to interfere with business or dut. But once
wnen 1 was in Salt Lake City (that was year
and years ago) 1 made a speculation in eees.
1 bought up all I could, equipped a wagon-
vmiu i uiko mem 10 mining camps iu lilutio
and prepared to start It was fall ami I hail
decided to start on a certain evening in order
" iiu iimu in getting oeyonii the
mountains, where thero was' dancer of get
ting caught in a storm and losing all my
eggs. But tho prospect of a long wagnn
Journey was not a cheerful one, aud in bii
ding farewell to comfortable nutirters
solaced myself with drinkin?. I ilid not h.
come drunk. 1 have never been drunk in ui
life, but 1 came to tho conclusion that out
day more or less would make little differ
ence. It mado all tbedirTerence in tho world.
I was caught iu a storm which 1 should have
missed had I starte 1 on time. I lost every
egg, was forced to abandon a valuable train,
and when I again landed in Salt Ijtke City
was "broke." Drinking had interfered th
my business once. Iu fact it nearly ruinoJ
me, when 1 should certainly havo turned a
pretty fortune. It has never cost me a cent
since that time. 2'ri'bune.
