In.tntipre Whore the (nulla of an Artist line l.rd tn thr Cnnfmelnn nf a Criminal A I'ortrnlt and a Stolen Dlnmnnd Pendnnt. An nrtlst who liml suddenly heroine almost famous liy his proiluctlon nf a pnliithiK cxlillilted at tho ltoynl mini piny wns 0110 diiy enlleil upon by a 111:1 11 whose visit was produellvc of tho most extraordinary and undreamt of consequences. The picture represented a lonely stretch of bench, upon which the sea was hcntiiiK in lonjr, creamy rollers. In tho forenroiinil, bending over n dead body, was n limn with tt wild expres sion oil his fuce ami witli a naked knife In his hand. A ship's bout, evi dently Just benched, was also In tho picture, and by the sldo of the mur dered mini was a huif of Hold. The pic ture portrayed the ml vent of two cast aways upon a friendly shore. The one bud murdered tho other so that the treasure inlidit bo his. The painter's visitor was a crny lialr tl, wild eyed mnn. "In heaven's nnnie, sir," he gasped out, "how did you learn tho dreadful story that you painted? I see you know ull. I murdered my niato lilll to fret tho money that was his. I throw his body Into the sen. I don't know what Impulse led me to the Acndemy. The first thins I saw was your picture rep resenting the scone that took place 30 years ntto." Needless to sny, the picture had been the outcome of ImaKimitlon. Vet mur der will out, and the RUllty conscience of the inn 11 who liml killed his comrade for lust of (fold had convinced him that the pnlntliiR wag no coincidence, but was Indeed tho nctunl portrayal of a dastardly and unwitnessed crime. There Is probably no picture better known In KiiRlnnd than "Tho Doctor," by Mr. Luke Fildcs, yet there are prob ably very few people aware of the fact that that selfsame masterpiece was the means of brlnKlne; to light the per petration of a crime that would other wise never have been known. A certain doctor In a large town com mAtod suicide, and anions his pnpers was a letter which ran as follows: "I have today seen Luke Flldos' 'Doctor.' The picture represents a medical man watching by the bedside of a child. It lias so haunted me that I ara going to take away my own worthless life and make a confession at the same time. When Arthur's" his brother's "boy died, I came Into money that my dead brother had settled on him. lie died as all the world thought of acute pneu monia. Tot his life might have been saved had 1 acted, as Flldes' 'Doctor Is so evidently doing, with the use of all the skill that lay In my power. I has tened the boy's end and so got the money. I can bear It no more." A well known artist was commission ed to paint the portrait of a lady In ex alted circles, who bonsted the posses sion of a most unique Jewel in the form of a pendant. The lndy was very anxious that this heirloom should be .Included In her portrait The artist, of course, complied with her recpicst. Shortly after the pnlnting had been completed a daring burglary was per petrated, with the result that the lady lost her heirloom, mid no trace of the thief or thieves was forthcoming. Tears passed by, and the lndy gave up all hope of ever seeing the precious heirloom again. Now, it so happened that the nrtlst who had painted the portrait of the lady mentioned luid occasion to travel In India. In the course of his waudertngs be came to Hombay and, ns every visitor to that place does, strolled through tho native bnziuir. Suddenly bis attention was riveted by a piece of Jewelry In n Jeweler's shop that seemed familiar to him. It was a diamond and ruby pendant Where had he seen It before? He ran sacked bis brain, but could not remem ber. He returned to his hotel and hap pened to take from bis portfolio a sketch of the portrait he bad made yenrs ago of the lady wltb the pendant. In a moment the enigma was solved. The piece of Jewelry he had seen was the peculiar pendant that bis fair sitter bad been so anxious be should Include In his portrait. He hurried off to the chief of police, and told that worthy what he suspect ed, namely, that the bazaar he had vis ited contained the long lost Jewel of the English lady. Inquiries were at once vet on foot with extraordinary re sults. Tbe Jeweler In the bazaar con fessed to having given years ago a quite Insignificant sum for the Jewel, which be hud bought from a stubleman in tbe employ of a neighboring rajah. Tbe stableman was sought for, and turned out to be none other ttiun a fa mous English cracksman, who bad ap parently turned honest, but who, nevertheless, confessed to having been the tblef of tbe Jewel that had been so miraculously discovered.

Kmploreee In a Drnartmeai Star Were ttaeed by fl.OOO Bilk, There was ono division of one of the largest department stores along Blxth avenue that suspended business for half an hour one day last week. A womiin bought some handkerchiefs and a pair of towels. The clerk footed her bill, 40 cents, and the woman laid a paper bill on the counter. The clerk, n girl, looked at It hastily. It rend XX). 8I10 liml never seen a thiiusiind ilnlhir bill before In her life, id tho niiia.euient It caused mado her ..peei-hless. With her mouth open In wonder she made out the check, show ing that 4!) cents was to be taken out of $1,1)110. The girl who acts us cashier fell buck In her chair w hen she saw the bill. She didn't have change for It, and after gazing at It In wondering ad miration for a moment she rushed out to liml tho manager. lie asked for tbe customer who had offered It, nnd the girl led tho way to where the woman w ns uniting. The clerk hnd recovered from her surprise enough to point out the customer. The manager said, "Madam, what did you buy?" Tho woman named over the small articles. "What did yon give the clerk?" "I gave her a dollar bill." "No; you gave her this, nnd It is worthless," the manager said sternly. rersplnitlon stood out on the wom an's face as she looked In wonder at the bill.

"The biiinll size of the screw," Bays a holler milker, "Is not due to tbe percep tion or any Inventor of Its greater ef fect us compared wltb a larger one, but purely to accident. When I first engag ed in the machinery business, screws for steamers wore mado ns largo as possible, It being tho theory that tbe Ei-enter tbe diameter the higher the speed. A vessel was placed on Lake Erlo with a screw so large that It was deemed best to cast each blado In two parts and then weld them together. During u storm ull these blades of the propeller broke nt the welding, reduc ing the diameter by more than two thirds. "To tho surprise of the captain the vessel shot forward at a speed such aa had never been attained before. Engl neors then experimented with smaller propellers and discovered that they were much more effective than large ones. Had It not been for that accident we might have gone on using largo blado screws to the present day." To Mik. a Glass Cutter. A glass cutter can easily be made with an ordinary mapping pen and a small piece of carborundum, or carbide of silicon. Cut off a part of the nib to form a small tube. Fit a crystal or part of one of carborundum Into the tube, take It out again and dip one end lu seccotlne or any other cemeut and replace It. Next wind a piece of fine wire tightly around tbe tube and part of the handle and fix It in a notch cut In the latter. Tut It aside for a day to allow tho content to burden. A glass cutter niudu thus will do Its work as well as the expensive dluniond and a great deal better than the ordinary wheel cutter.

An artist one of those barroom artists who make pictures on mirrors with Bonn called on tho German tho other day nnd naked for some work. "Well," the German snld, "you might pnlnt a brown bear on my sign. How much would you chnrgo to do It?" "Two dol lars," the artist answered. Thereupon the contract was mnde, nnd tho bear was painted. At the end of the Job tho nrtlst snld, "Don't you want mo to pnlnt n chain on the bear?" "Would yon chargo ex tra for that?" said the German. "Tes. That would cost l extra." "Then I enn't nfford to have It done." The nrt lst departed. That night It rnlned. nnd. In, In the morning tho bear had vanish ed from the sign! The rain bad washed It nwny. The German sent for the painter at once. "My boar." ho said reproachful ly. "Is gone." The . other nnswered, "Well, I wanted to put n chain on It, didn't I?" The German then handed out f:l. f- for tho pnlnting of another bear, the third for a chain to make the picture permnnent. The chained boar now remains upon the sign Impervious to tho weather.

He saw upon tho register of the Tnk hotel the name of Colonel Gabriel Itouck of Oshkosh and decided thnt ho was In duty bound to call upon that Nestor of tho Wisconsin bar, especially as they had both occupied tho position of grand master of the grand lodge of Wisconsin Masons. lie called on Mr. Itouck In his room In the hotel nnd found the Oshkoshlnn In his shirt sleeves, yawning. He be gan on Masonry. First he gave bis views of the brotherhood, from the building of Solomon's temple "without sound of tool or Iron" down to dnte, and then ho started In on tho chnptor. Finally, startled by an extra yawn, be broke off his story with: "Well, Gabe, as I have beou appoint ed trustee for the Asylum For the Deaf nnd Dumb I think 1 bad better go to bed. I have to take an early train for Janesvllle." "For land's sake! Is It possible that you are going to lenrn to talk with your hands too?" camo the blunt reply from the old lawyer. Milwaukee Senti nel. Which of Ten Kyee Crlesf It seems a positively absurd question to ask, "Which of your eyes cries?" In an everyday, common or garden cry It Is well known that salt tears make their appearance nnd rush away down tho face seemingly as fast from ono as from the other, whichever tho "other" muy be, but If careful note Is mado, more especially wltb emotional people. It will be found that ono of the eyes has a special emotional teudency and often opens tho tenr vatvo before Its companion has decided upon the un happy event. Probably the best method of discov ering the emotional eye Is to ntteud a pathetic Bfago play and when tho weep ing period comes along look out for tear No. 1.

"You know of course that I used to make my living pluylng cards, chiefly dealing bank. There wasn't a day I didn't deal bank or In other games six to eight hours n day. Many a time I have dealt or played longer. "One night I was dealing bank. It wns a good, big game. All nt once when I went to slip a card this old right refused to work. I looked nt It and the lingers were kind of twisted Inward and tho hand from tho wrist wns bent downward. "This stopped the deal for me, and I told tho lookout 'to got busy,' for the players were getting a little 'queered.' He took my place, and I watched the bets. "I rubbed my right, but It wouldn't straighten out aud It kept this way until the next day, and then I went to a doctor. He didn't know mo as well as you do, but the first question he asked was: " 'Deal cards a great deal, don't you?' " 'Yes.' " 'Do you deal with an elbow move ment or with finger and wrist move ment?" " 'Why, I don't work my elbow.' " 'That explains It. You have card players paralysis.' "This hit me center, and I showed It, but the doctor was good and snld: " 'Now, dou't get flurried. I'll straighten you up. Just quit dealing awhile, nnd I'll give your hand a few doses of electricity, and you'll bo all right.' "He did It, and In about three days my hand was straight as a string. But I haven't dealt so much since. There's ninny an old timer whose dealing hand hns quit hlin. And you say you were never paralyzed?" "No." "Well, you oln't played cards much." Louisville Times. THE KUKLUX KLAN. Where Bad How the Famous Hodr Was Ors.alicd. When the civil war ended, the little town of Pulaski, Tenn., welcomed a band of young men who, though tbey were veterans of bard fought fields, were for the most part no older than the mass of college students. In the general poverty, the exhaustion, the lack of heart, naturally prevalent throughout tbe beaten south, young men bad more leisure than was good for them. A southern country town, even In tbe halcyon days before the war, was not a particularly lively place, and Pulaski In 180U was doubtless rather tame to fellows wbo had seen Pickett charge at Gettysburg or galloped over the country wltb Morgan aud Wheeler. A group of them assembled In a law office one evening In May, 1800, were discuss ing ways and means of having a live lier time. Some one suggested a club or society. An organization wltb no very definite alms was effected, and at a second meeting, a week later, names were proposed and discussed. Some one pronounced tbe Greek word kuklos, meaning circle. From kuklos to kukjux was an easy transition whoever consults a glossary of college boys' slang will not find It strange and klan followed kuklux as naturally as "dumpty" follows "hump ty." That the name meant nothing whatever was a recommendation, and one can fancy what sort of badinage would have followed a suggestion that In six years a committee of congress would devote 13 volumes to the history of the movement that began tn a Pu laski law office and migrated later to a deserted and half ruined bouse on the outskirts of the village. Atlantic Monthly. Fields of lalt. At Salton, tn southern California, ex ists a basin of land between 200 and 200 feet below sea level. About 1,000 acres of the depressed area are cov ered with a deposit of salt which 0. F. lloldcn describes In The Scientific American as one of the sights of Cali fornia. Tbe salt Is first thrown Into ridges by a peculiarly shaped plow, drawn by a dummy engine with ca bles, aud then Is plied Into conical heaps before being carried to the dry ing bouse and crushing mill. Tbe ex panse looks like a field of snow. About 2,000 tons of salt are removed each year, but the supply Is perennially re newed by the deposits of salt springs which flow into tbe basin. In June the temperature of tbe air reaches 150 de grees, and only Indian workmen can withstand the heat and glare. TtaroOTlaar Mice.

"I went over on ono of the Ited StHr line boats, nnd the first thing I did on , landing nt Antwerp was to go to the cable office nnd send a message to my mother announcing my safo arrival. I pntd tho toll nnd thought no more about It until I got home, when among my mall I found a letter from the Ant werp operator, addressed In core of my tnothcr, saying that through on error he hnd not charged mo enough for my cablegram scut on such and such a date, that ho bad been obliged to pay the difference out of his own pocket, nnd as his salary was very smnll and he had n largo family nnd nil that sort of thing ho felt sure I would rclmburso blm. "The amount was a trifling ono, nnd I did send hi in n foreign money order. I have since learned from experienced travelers that I had been mado the victim of n systematic form of robbery nnd that scarcely a cablegram Is sent from the other sldo unless It Is of a business nature that Is not followed by some such plea from the European operator." Hold the Fort. In October, 1804, Allatoona pass, .a uouie in tne mountains ot ueorgia, was guarded by General Corse, with l.fiOO men. It was a strong, strategic point, aud, moreover, 1,500,000 rations were stored thero. Frcslch, the southern ' general, with 0,000 men, attacked the garrison and drove tho defenders Info n small fort 011 the crest of the bill. The battle was fierce. The northern soldiers fell In such numbers tbat fur ther fighting seemed folly. Hut ono of Corse's officers caught sight of a wblto slgnnl flag fluttering lu the breeze on the top of the Kene saw mountain, across the valley, 15 miles away. The signal was answered, nnd then came the Inspiring message from mountain to mountain: "Hold tho fort I nm coining. W. T. Sher man." Cheer after cheer went up, and, though hopelessly reduced tn numbers, thev did hold the fort for hours nntll the advanco guard of Sherman's nrniy came to their relief. Six years later P. I'.
