WITH TONGUE OR TOOTH. How Safe Burglar* Can Tell When They Strike a Combination Figure. In the county Jail yesterday after noon John Atkinson, the alleged rob ber and "pal' of O'Neil, tvho is now serving a long term in the penitentiary for one of the most daring "Hold-ups" ki the history of the city, did not know that the I.cader reporter was a news paper man, consequently talked more freely than is his wont. The conversa tion drifted from one subject to anoth er, and all the while Deputy Barry was playing with the combination lock on the door of the "bull pen." "That's a pretty good lock," said At kinson. "Did you ever work any of these kind of locks?" asked the deputy. Atkinson smiled. "That lock on a safe would be easy," said he. "Come out and let us see how yon would go about anything like that," said the deputy, at the same time open ing tlie door. Atkinson did as he was bidden, and at once commenced to ex plain the mechanism of the lock. "Well, let's see you try It," said the deputy, becoming Interested. Atkinson hesitated for several minutes, saying that lie could not "work" that combina tion because it d'd not have the same backing as a safe lock. Deputy bnril? insisted upon being shown how it was done. Atkinson got down upon his knees and went to work. He kneeled as close to the lock as possible, and put his tongue upon the metal ring around the knob of the combination. Then he slowly turned the knob of the combina tion. Deputy Barry watched him in tently, add suddenly stopped Atkinson in his work. He had made the tlrst move In the combination correctly, and the deputy thought this enough. At kinson was willing to stop, and then explained his work. • "i'ou perhaps know," said Atkinson, "that the nerves in the end of the tongue are very delicate and sensitive. Well, when the combination gets to the right point, the minutest click is sent at once to the brain. That's how we know we are right." The deputy was astounded. William Clark, the alleged murderer, was standing near at the time. lie seemed to be perfectly familiar with Atkin son's methods, and immediately pro posed another and better method. He said: "It is much easier if you have a darning, needle, place it on the tum blers and put the other end in a hollow tooth. If there is a nerve in the tooth the first click, no matter how slight, sends a thrill through your head." "I've tried that scheme, too," said Atkinson, "and have found it to be a good one."—Cleveland Leader. During the jubilee festivities in London uitera are to receire as much us 17s 6d a >y. Witriiilh for Comfort. An old cat loves a sunny corner and a long nap, and this is natural and wise. The genial warmth of the sun lulls to rest, and while asleep, it may bo curative to tho cat's fow ailments. Soreness and stiffness come upon us suddenly and put the machinery of the body out of gear. St. Jacobs Oil goes suddenly to work upon the trouble, aud with its warmth, like warmth to the old cat, it lulls tho paiii to sleep, drives out tho cold, softens the stiffened muscles, lubricates the machinery, and in a short time puts the whole body in good working order. Sore ness and stiffness are not much to cure by the use of St. Jacobs Oil, but. if neglected, they tako the form oi rheumatism, which gives a great deal more pain.

A LADY OF THE CABINET. Mr?. Gary, tho wife of the new Post master-General, is the mother of seven daughters and one son, and comes of an old Baltimore family. She believes in a happy, attractive home, and has trained her daughters to be most ac complished entertainers. The entire family is musical, and a delightful home concert can be arranged on short notice. Mrs. Gary is now a member of the Presbyterian church, but she used to be u Catholic. She is said to have charming manners and a strong personality.—New Orleans Picayune. ARRANGING HER TRESSES. To suit a long, narrow face,the hair should bo dressed round, and it is al ways best to show a coil or so from tho side behind the ears; also endeavor to till up tho nape of the neck as much as possible. l ? or a sharp featured face, always avoid dressing the hair right at the top of the back of the crown in a line with the nose, as this so accentuates the severe outlines. Dress the hair low down or else quite on the crovm top to meet the fringe. For a round face, narrow dressings are becoming, and can be taken well down the neck. For a broad face, narrow dressings are preferable, but they should be kept somewhat high. Exceedingly tall people should keep tho hair dressed ruther low and de cidedly round. Very short ladies can have their hair dressed high, ns it gives addition to their stature. It is very Tarely we find purely white hair: it is more generally gray white, or greenish-gray, uud with this latter no colors are so suitable asdark grceus, browns, umbers, purple tints, deep cream, dark reds and warm shades of dark-blue.—Chicago Record. WHITE HOUSE GAYETY. White House receptions in the days of the Washingtons were more formid able affairs than they are now. Mrs. Washington received from 8 to 10 on Friday evenings, the affairs being modelled on the drawing rooms thou known to the court of France. None was permitted to attend, says an old chronicle, except thoße who had high social and diplomatic rank, aud "full dress was required of all who passed the ordeal of social inspection." When Dolly Madison was wife of a President, in ISIS, she was described as in the meridian of her life and beauty. Radiant and vivacious, she dispensed hospitality and exchanged courtesies wi tH unrivalled grace. She looked and moved a Queen. Her dross on one occasion is described ns of yel lowvelvet.withgarniture of pearls,and she wore an elaborate head dress of feathers, "a Paris turban, with a bird of paradise plume." One of her char acteristics was that she never forgot a face. It was tho custom of ihe day to tako snuff, and the beautiful Mrs. Madison acquired the habit by being too poiito to refuse the frequently offered box. When she was given a jewelled snuff-box for her own use she was diplomatically familiar with its service. There was no lack of social splendor, and six horses were not con sidered too many in those days to convey a President and his family from one sceno of festivity to another. There was a much closer lino drawn in regard to rank than there is at present. Tho effect of a social gathering was made more brilliant than it is by the dress of the men, who followed the style of tho court of France. Imagine a light-blue French coat with high collar, broad lapels and large gilt buttons; a doubie-breastcd Mar seilles vest, nankeen-colored casßimere breeches, with white silk stockings, shining pumps and full lace ruffles on the shirt bosom and wrists, with a white cravat inflated with a "pud ding," as it was called. A ROYAL EXILE. Tho French government lias exiled Queen Ranulvatono of Madagascar to the Island of Reunion. She is not as fortunate as the large number of exiled royalties who form a society of their own in Paris, but she is more respectable than most of them. The Queen, it is said by the Eng lish correspondents, was passionatelv devoted to her country and showed a strong sense of justice in her publio dutios. She was of excellent moral charaoter. One of lier little weak nesses was a love of Worth dresses. When the overwhelming French army was advancing on the capital she was reported as "wandering about her apartments, unable to sleep, rare ly taking food and weeping bitterly, but still determined on resistance." The few honest advisers of the Queen knew well that to attempt a stand in the capitol was futile, but none dared tell her the truth or counsel her to sue for forms. One afternoon before the French arrived Her Majesty ad dressed tho people from the palace veranda, while tho old cannon pre sented to tho Queen by George IV. fired at intervals. The scone as de scribed at the time by the Times cor respondent was striking and pathetio to tho last degree. She said: "I am the descendant of twelve kings. You have always de clared that you would defend the kingdom they created. But we have not done so; I have been betrayed by my own people." Then she wept be- fore them; and finally, suppressing her sobs, she wrapped her lambg around her, and with a proud gesturo cried out: "Are there no men among you who will fight? As for me, I am but a woman ; but I would far rather die in my palace than yield to the French,"—New York Journal. Gossir. Eastern women are discussing whether the model walking skirt Hhall be five inches or six inches from the ground. Queen Elizabeth of Roumania has been created Grand Cross of the Or der of Saint Savo by the Ring of Ser via, who has sent her tho insignia of the order in brilliants. The first woman to act as rabbi in a Hebrew synagogue is Mrs. Hannah G. Solomon, who recently made her ap pearance in the Sinai Temple at Chi cago, under the guidance of Dr. Hirscb. Ttie wife of a captain of a British vessel is about to npply for a captain's certificate. She has sailed with her husband for eighteen years, and for seven years has carried a second mate's papers. The syndicate of the University of Cambridge has recommended the be stowal of the degree of B. A. and Mas ters of Arts upon women, and also doeided to confer upon them honorary degrees. In the Medical Shool of Agra, In dia, soventeeu young native women recently passed tho examinations, and one of the number, Miss L. Singh, made the second highest mark in the university. Women prompters are taking the plaoe of men in Covent Garden, Eon don, as it has been found that their voices carry better across the stage than men's and are loss audible in the auditorium. All Berlin is talking of the feat per formed by Princess Marie von Hohen lohe, wife ot the Imperial Chancellor. The Princess is sixty-eight years of age, und while hunting on her estates in Russia she killed a bear. Miss Ellen . Terry, the actress, al ways has a basketful of clothes for the poor in her home in South Kensing ton, and when callers come she pro duces the basket and makes them knit, sew or crochet while they talk. In Denmark and in Norway the posts of shorthand writers at the re spective Parliaments of those coun tries are chiefly oeeupied by women, it having been found that women as a rule succeed far better than men in this form of reporting. The supposed gravo of Eve is visited by over 40,000 pilgrims in each year. It is to bo seen at; Jeddab, in a ceme tery outside the city walls. The tomb is fifty cubits long and twelve wide. Tho Arabs entertain a belief that Eve was the tallest woman that over lived. Mrs. Elizabeth S. Calvert died recently at her residenoe in Newport, R. 1., at an advanced age. She was the widow of Hon. George H. Calvert, Newport's first Mayor, a native of Baltimore, and descendant of Lord Calvert, also of Rubens, the famous artist. Tho failures of women in business during the past years havo occurred mostly from losses, and only in rare caßes from extravagance. The lady farmers seem the most successful, as only twelve of their number failed. It is interesting to notice that there were fewer failures among spinsters than among married women and widows. Two of the most successful American writers of uewspnper advertisements aro Miss Mamie Hungerford and Miss Nellie Riordan, of Washington. Both started as typewriters, but by close application and studying the methods of advertisers und reading alt the various advertising journals, they rapidly developed iuto advertisement writers, and manage their own lists of houses. FASHION NOTES. A new use for chiffon has just oropped up. It is now made to serve as a lining to spangled tulles aud lace flounces. Glace kid gioves in tan and brown shades are used for street wear—two button length. The white are not much worn in the daytime. For even ing wear both glace aud suede are fashionable. Crepe de chine is to jie very much worn this season, especially for even ing dresses and in combination with other materials, and there is a new kind ribbed like poplin which is very delicate and soft. The ruling tendency in tho present mode of hair dressing is to make a full soft puff all around the head. So the hair is pushed forward and held in place by long side combs circling in shape to fit tho head. Three and four of these are ÜBed, and the effect is not always becoming, especially when the locks are not very abundant. The old-time sunsbado called the "regal" is one of the revivals of the season, and its special recommenda tion is the joint in the handle, which allows tho stiolc to fold, up. .-If this swivel joint could be npplied to um brella handles, which are forever trip ping people up in the cars and jabbing ; them in the faoe going up the elevated j stair, it would be a boon to all man and woman kind. AGRICULTURAL TOPICS. SEEDING WZT LANDS. The best grasses for marshy land aro redtop, meadow fescue, fowl meadow grass, Kentucky blue grass and meadow foxtail. Land which has been for twenty years iu pasture will probably not require much if any fer tilizer, but it would be well, before seeding down, to keep the land under cultivation for one year. Corn would be the most suitable crop for this pur pose. FREQUENT CHURNING BEST. It is harder work to make the best butter from a one-cow dairy, especially late in the season,when the milk yield lessens. The best butter is made with least expense when the dairy is large enough to require churning every day. This makes a great deal of hard work, unless it impels the dairyman to provide power of so mo kind, so as to relieve the hard labor. This it generally does. Whenever the dairy is large enough to require churning every day, a creamery or a separator will pay, not only by the saving of labor, but by making more of the cream than is possible by tho old pro cess of hand skimming the milk. CROWS AND ROOKS. The United States Department of Agriculture, in a recent report, brings forward in his (the crow's) favor evidence of the dourest and most con vincing kind. Tho stomachs of a thousand crows wero carefully ex amined, with the simplo result that more insects and spiders were found than any other kind of food in all the months hut January and February. During May and Juuo live hundred and thirty were as carefully analyzed, and a full half of all the contents was proved to consist entirely of insects, the majority being among the farmer's worst foes—locusts, May beetles, weevils, wire-worms, and the grubs of the cockchafer (Melolontha) and Harry Long logs (Tipula), which the rook does his best to exterminate. Add to this a goodly number of field mice and moles, and towards winter a few stray grains of waste wheat from the stubble or tho farmyard, and tho list is complete. If this much be admitted on behall of the crow, far more justly may it be urged in defence of the rook, a large portion of whoso time is spent ou the wing, or at hard work in the ploughed field or meadow, busily destroying the very enemies which defy man's utmost skill to reach. Taken as a whole, therefore, the character of tho Corvus is worthy of much respect. Slow and deliberate in the choice of a homo or a friend, he never hurries and seldom makes mistakes ; if now and then a bit of a thief, he wages continual war against many posts that wo aro well rid of. He may be slightly pompous and apt to give himself airs in private life; ho may even fancy at times, 4, in tho gaioty of liis heart, that he is sing ing," when he is but giving a croak ; but ho is a pleasant aud cheerful neighbor, and often shows a liking in his surroundings, in spite of that terriblo "slaughter of the innocents" from which he once barely escaped I with his life.—New York Observer. TIIE DOORYARD. No class of people can so well afford to have a neat, inviting dooryard as tho farmer. In the city, wo can't have one foot of sod or a load of dirt without pay ing cash for it, whilo tho farmer has acres of it. If you want to improve tho yard, first examine closoly and see what is lacking. If tho doorstone or steps are crooked, a crowbar and little muscle will soon fixed that. It wili not cost many dollars to make a wooden walk to the front gate. Or perhaps you have plenty of grovel. If so, don't put that down until you have put o thick layer of ashes to keep tho grass from growing. If you can, put narrow boards, four inches wide, to form an edge to keep tho grass from growing into the walk. Now find if there are any low places. If so, fill with rich soil. The quickest way to have grass is to cut sod about one loot square with your spado, leav ing threo inches oi dirt on it. SVhere you want to lay this, liavo the dirt spaded and all stones removed, so it will root easily ; pat down hard on the sod with the spade and water freely every day until it begins to grow. Trim nil trees and vines. If this is all done thoroughly, you will have a fine yard. Don't make flower beds unless some one has plenty of time to caro for them. But as fast as you cau af ford, add shrubs aud troes. Don't stop this good work with tho front yard, but do tho same in tho side and back. Where you want shade, plant trees. If you live in a climate where nut trees will grow, by all means have them. Chooso some place whero you can have a hammock, make some rustic seats, and if you have small children, furnish them with a swing. Let them have a "picnic" some of the pleasant days by taking what they were to have at the table outdoors under some shady tree. They will think it fine fun. It is the green-clad yard, with at tractive flowers, tree laden with fruit, and a garden of small fruits aud vege tables, that makes the sons aud daugh ters cling to home and parents.— American Agriculturist.

Empress Elizabeth of Austria lias been so seriously ill at Capo Martin that her husband, who proposed to re main at Vienna until the trouble in connection with Crete was at an end, hastened his departure, and proceed ed with all haste to the South of France, where the Empress is being attended by her youngest an- favor ite daughter, the Archduchess Valerie. The Empress was unable to meet her husband on his arrival, and lias been forced to abandon all those long walks to which she has been given ever since the doctors compel 1 d her to give up riding. It seems that the Imperial lady, in stead of being benefited by her sojourn at Biarritz iu December and January, on the contrary was harmed thereby. Fainting tits, insomnia, neuralgia and rheumatism, complicated with other painful nervous disorders, ensued, and /lie principal court physician, Dr. Von Iverzl, having been urgently summon ed from Vienna, Immediately gave or ders that she should leave Biarritz for the south of France. At present the Empress is an invalid in every sense of the word, almost en tirely infirm, and it is doubtful if she ever will be able to resuiiic the violent exercise to which she has been devoted until now. Indeed, It may be ques tioned whether it is not really the over doing of exercise, first in the form of riding, and later on in the way of walking, that is responsible for her present condition. As long as she was able to ride Elizabeth used to spend her whole day in the saddle, begin ning at 5 or 0 o'clock in the morning, and frequently changing horses four and five times during the course of a single morniug. When she took to walking she would not be satisfied with constitutionals of less than thirty and even forty miles a day. It was always asserted that it was by means of this violent exercise that she was able to maintain unimpaired the balance of her mind, instead of suc cumbing to the insanity which is one of the hereditary curses of the royal house of Bavaria, to which she belongs by birth. Some apprehension, there fore. is felt at Vienna as to the possible result of the inaction to which she is now constrained by reason of her health.—Vienna Letter. Pepper. "It has always amused me," remark ed h botanical expert, "to hear people talk of their preference for black pop per over white, ninl the various expla nations they give for the same. Little do they know that both black and white popper grow upon the same shrub. Over the pepper seed grows a black cov ering. The seed itself is white or near ly so. To make black pepper the seed and its external covering are ground up. while white pepper is the seed alone ground up. White popper is milder than black, the greater part of the pungency being iii the covering. A pep per made of the coverings alone would be such—to use a slang term—hot stuff that It would burn the mouth. The black coating of the pepper seed con tains most of the oil.** A HEALTHY WIFE Is a Husband's Inspiration.
