SCIENCE AGAINST BttUTE FORCE.
T Yon Hare Burglars "In Toor Midst, an
Ammonia Homo, Properly Propelled,
Will Promptly Put Them to Flight With
Vapors That Mo Robbere Cao Abide.
A Brooklyn man hai invontcd whnt ha
enlli the "fin tie iloclo burglar euro." It li
euro not fur burglar, but against them.
It Is furthor called "rouKh on linrKlnra"
and "Wlndolph'a safety botnlia," and bj
luppniMor of crime It la Intrndwl to
uperwdo all aoolotlci and organization!
Dow extant. To quote from the Inventor,

the bombi retain tholr powerful vapor
unimpaired for years. They may bo hnn
died with porfoct safety, but are thin
enough to break by their own Impact
when thrown against any object." Those
bombi are about the slzo of a duck's egg
and are ahaped like the bulb of an inenn
descent light. Three ouncoa la the weight,
the bulb being two-tlilrda full of conoen
trated ammonia. Such la the mcniia by
which Druggist Wlmlolph nriipiwpg to
cattor devastation, dismay and diffused
vapora broadcast among the criminal
dosses.
"What are wo to do when burglara are
In our mldstf" he asks in Ills circular.
Under such circumstances people should
chain down tholr vitals. Otherwise they
might be stolen, remarks tho facetious New
York eun. But tho Inventor has three
ounces of fin de slecle burglar cure worth
tons of chains.
"Protect your homes with tho safety
bombs," he advises. "Burglars are nu
merous. Then, if your homo Is Invaded,
don't get rattled. Keep cool, and when tho
Intruder shows his toco throw your bomb.
Aim straight for his ohln, and when tho
bomb breaks that settles the burglar."
This Is the newly invented way of treat
ing burglars who are in your midst. Ac
cording to Mr. Windolph, be had burglars
in his midst lost August that is, they
were In his drug store. In the Brooklyn
dialect, "midst" Is used as a synonym for
drug store undor certain conditions. Two
burglars oamo in over tho fanlight one
night. Mr. Windolph lay sleeping. Ho
was awakened by the disturbance mudo
by the burglars In climbing over the door.
What was ho to dor Thero was no club
there, nor pistol or other weapon. Ho
arose and walked cautiously out. Present

eurred to him. Groping his way to the
bottle, be filled a graduating glass, crept
out and threw theobcniical straight In tho
face of the nearest burglar. The man went
down as if a house bad fallen on him. Ills
companion departed from Mr. Wimlolph's
midst In great haste, taking most of the
glass of the front door with him. The oth
er burglar was captured and subsequently
sent to the Klmlra reformatory. But tho
luminous Idea of concentrated ammonia
for use against the midnight marauder
had taken firm bold in the brain of the
druggist. He experimented and Dually
Drought out his Invention.
The bomb as now perfected is put up
In llttlo tin bozos not unlike baking pow
der cans. There la a hole In tho can, so
that It can be hung on a nail or hook eon
venlent to the bed. Behold, then, tho
prosperous Brooklyulte sinking to poaco
ful slumber In his ammonia guarded bed.
Mailed to the bedstead is the tin box lu
which the bomb rests like an egg In tho
nest. There Is a noise outside. Slowly tho
door opens. An ovll face poors Into the
room. It is the burglar. Little does ho
suspect that the little tin box on which
the light from his bullsoyo lantern falls
contains his doom. Maybe he thinks It's
a matchbox or a fancy alarm clock. lie
moves forward. The floor croaks. Sleep
leaves the eyes of the prosperous Brook'
lynite. He raises himself from his pillow.
His band goes to the tin box and grasps
the little bulb. Tho burglar is puzzled at
first, but soon concludes that this must be
a new kind of burglar alarm. Beforo It
can go off ha will have tho houso owner by
the throat But the wakened man has
lifted his ami. He throws the bomb with
unerring aim at the burglar's chin as per
Instruction. It strikes. It bursts. There
Is a gasp, a gurgle, a gulp, nnd tho
burglar la writhing upon the lloor. The
chemically preserved householder rises
from his bed, throws a sheet over the
strangling criminal and sends for tho po
lios. Such Is tho programme laid out by
the inventor. Prom Ills own writings on
the subject Is gleaned the fact of the pecul
iar potency of this agent. Ho says:
The peculiar powers of ooocentrnted ammo
nia gas pro-eiuinently lit it for the use here
designed. Its caustic action on the skin la of
minor consideration, but the blinding and
asphyxiating efforta of the vaiior ure instanta
neous and Irroalatible and are more qulekly
overpowering than a club or a pistol shot. Tbe
secret of this lie in the fact that this vapor
cannot be breathed. When breathing is at
tempted, the glottis of the windpiiw cleeea
spasmodically, shutting off the supply of air
from the lungs. With blinded eyes and every
sensation of death by suffocation, It can easily
be understood huw the most hardened crimi
nal will abandon hla dtwperato diidgns and
grope hla way as bust be can toward the open
air.
From this it would appenr that not only
burglars but other malefactors can be
overcome by the fin do sleclo burglar cure.
No matter bow hardened the criminal may
be, be can't stand this drug. It may bo
set down as a fart that even a man who
had combined all the crimes of the deca
logue wouldn't be able to endure this at
mosphere. The glottis of bis windpipe
would close spasmodically. The supply of
air would be shut oft from his lungs, bow-
ever tough they might be. He would
rush for tbe open air.
WANTED, NEW DRESSMAKERS.
Requisites of the Young Woman Who Da.
sir to Saw for a Living.
Tha woman whosa dressmaker is a
comfort to her It a blessed woman. 6ba
it one of tbe few. The average dress
maker If a tonrce of tribulation to most
of those who have their dresses made
after the conventional pattern as truly
as she la a trial to the woman who bat
become so cultivated that sho prefers
classio outlines for her own body. We
do not mean that dressmakers are more
unworthy than other workers. A con
scientious, faithful Journeyman in any
trade it a rarity at we all know. But
there are scores and hundreds of women
in Chicago, not to speak of other local
ities, who have learned to despise a cor
set and the corseted outlines of fashion
plates. These women need others to
manufacture dresses that will be ar
tistic The word "artistic" combines in its
moaning utility, health, comfort and be-
coiiiingnosg. A dress cannot beartistio
that is not all of theso and more. It
must bo suited also to tho personality of
the wearer, it must hide as much as pos
sible her defects, it must enhance her
good points as well as give her room to
breathe with utmost freedom and to ex
ercise evory muscle- with utmost grace.
Plainly such dressmakers as uro need
ed must know anatomy and must be fa
miliar with the finest sculpture up to
the point of admiring and loving tbe
contours of classio figures. As a matter
of course they must dislike the pinched
torso of the fashion pluto. These pre
requisites are already possessed by many
intelligent women who need steady oc
cupation and an increased income. If
to this appreciation of human anatomy
and love of art they add the old fash
ioned training of a good seamstress, they
are at once ready to serve such patrons
as can design their own dresses, Tbe
more familiar they are with good stat
uary and good pictures, the more con
versant with the philosophy of art meth
ods, the sooner will such women learn
to design or to select such forms cf
gowns as shall be suitable to each patron.
Such a woman will dignify her occu
pation. Such a worker becomes an artist
in texture if she can start with a natu
ral liking for good color and correct
form. If sho becomes an artist that is,
ono who loves art more than money she
has the joy of an artist, of one who can
not resist doing and loving to do the work
that brings her her living. There ore
plenty of dressmakers already who aro
willing to learn any fud to increase their
earnings. They will accept any new
idea that may bo grafted upon their al
ready acquired skill. Out of a score of
these not one has been found who re
vered the huniun body, not one who
cared to know how it was fashioned, not
one who cared to take the least pains to
study. For women already educated on
the lines of natural proportion and
classic sculpture who can do good hand
work, there are waiting the chances for
a good living and an abundance of pleas
ure in the work of securing it. Frances

American girls of intelligence, young

will give her services as caretaker of one
or more children in return for her ex-
penses paid, cither in a visit to Chicngo

on summer journeys have often the dis-
advantugo of being thrown with otlior

The Cao of Face Creams.
Womon are too stingy with their face
creams. Did you ever boo a stage beauty
mauugo this kind of a buth? If you have
not, you know literally nothing of the
art. In the first place, an actress does
not buy 25 cents' worth of cream and
expect it to last a lifotimo, but she gets
her cerato by tho quart. After bathing
her race nt night and drying the skin
she puts in each palm a liberal tiunntity
of cream ana rnlis not only her face, but
neck as well. Kememlier that you nniRt
not neglect your throat when caring for
your face. Here is where tho telltale
lines gather tho fastest. Almost in a
night an ugly ring, sometimes one and
oftuner two and threo, appear to warn
you of your carelessness. Buggy folds
and wrinkles start just under the chin
long before the first crow's foot is etched
abont your eyes. This is because yon

Wyndnin leaned back in his chair, re
garding thesaltant flames of the grate
fire with hostilo eyes. Ho believed In in
self to be particularly culm his heart
was beating nt its normal, placid pace,
his mind was clear. Ho was unaware
that his fingers were nervously tapping
the amis of his chair, and that his view
of the fire was gradually growing blurred
and indistinct.
Tho library table was thickly Btrewn
with papers, and Wyndain's brother
leaned heavily against it, gnawing- his
discolored hps,
At length Wyndam broke the strained
silence. lie arose from his seat and
placed his arm mxm his brother's shout
der, Buying: "Do you see the biting jest
fortune played us in removing our futhor
before he could destroy these pleasing
documents? For I have no doubt ho fully
Intended to destroy them.
The younger man impatiently chafed
nnder his brother's words. He threw back
his head as if to shake himself free from
the thoughts which pursued him,
"I am not sorry he hud not time to de
stroy them," he returned luboredly. "He
tried to teach ns to tho full the meaning
of honor iiorluips with the idea that we
would be able to do what he was not
strong enough to accomplish. It only
remains with ns to inuko restitution.
Wyndam looked at him in astonish
ment and cold admiration of his mannor
of receiving the blow.
"That is all that is left for us," he
agreed slowly, "and we can accomplish
it only by our death; otherwise the
world would know of our dishonor. For
ttumtely Howard is the next in succes
sion and will come into bis own with
out need of disclosing to him our sliamo."
The younger man was nimble to re
strain the faint look of protest which
momentarily flashed into his heavy eyes,
Then the blank hopelessness agnin en
veloped Ins features as he echoed, "Only
onr death can right the wrong.
He recognized that tho case required
that drastic measure. Ho wished no re
peal from it, for every breath ho now
drew was poisoned. But the thought of
death, which only an hour ago had
seemed so fur distant, came upon hiin
with something of a shock.
"It will be well forns to make our exit
as speedily as possible," Wyndam ptir-
suod. "There will be tho usual wonder
ment at our busty deed, but at least
there will be no suspicion of the truth.''
He commenced to separate the papers
witb his customary methodical preci.
sion, quickly bringing order out of the
confusion which had reigned. He was
hindered rather than helped by his broth
er's assistance. He dojiosited in the fire
the confession which hud laid bare be
fore them unguessed infamy, and the
two stood watching until the flumes had
mercifully devoured the last bit of paper
which could have avowed their dishonor.
Then Wyndam said: "I am now going
to my own apartments. It will probably
take mo an hour to arrange my own af
fairs. At the expiration of- that time 1
shall end my life."
"I shall do likewise," declared the
younger man, who hud now regained tho
mastery of himself. His voice rang
steady, but bis face was like a death
mask in its stiffened, unnatural repose.
There had never been any strong lik
ing between them, but as Wyndam shook
his brother's hand upon separating from
him at the turn of the corridor he was
stirred by a momentary thrill of pity.
Ho knew his brother well enough to re
alize that life could now hold no possible
charm for him, but it seemed sad that be
should be forced to leave it while he was
still possessed of tho exaltations peculiur
to youth.
Wyndam closed the door of his own
den mid set about the completion of his
tusk. There was not one letter over
which he lingered before committing it
to the flames, yet many of them were
from the one woman he hud ever loved
and to whom bis marriage was imminent.
He had always been ablo to keen his
mind from the disagreeable, and ho was
determined that in this lust net he would
still maintain his admirable composure
and not try himself needlessly.
Ho refused absolutely to allow his
thoughts to dwell uixin what was to hap
pen within the hour, and he noticed with
a subdued throb of self satisfaction bis
unfaltering nerve.
He debated with himself for some mo
ments over the advisability of leaving a
few last words to the woman who wus
to have been his wife, but ultimately
dismissed the thought us savoring of tho
dramatic. In fact, ho felt he could do
rive no consolution from writing to her,
ns he could frame no possible excuse for
bis impending action.
He walked composedly to the drawer
which contained his revolver, but paused
before tho mirror to push back from his
brow the hair which hud liecome dis
placed. He ulso noticed that his cravat
was somewhat awry and rearranged it.
Ho was unconsciously taking mental
note of his condition. He hud more than
once beforo proved himself to be jios
suased of more than ordinary courage
and had felt assured he would meet
death when it came unflinchingly. Yet
as he unhesitatingly leveled tho weapon
at his heurt he congratulated himself
upon his coolness.
As he wus about to pull the trigger ho
heard indistinctly the muffled rt'iKirt of
the pistol which bud been fired in a room
further down the corridor. The sound
hastened him, and he at once pulled the
trigger.
lie fell into the chair beside him, his
hand pressed to his heart, hoping that
death would not belong delayed, fur the
pain he was suffering was intense. Ho
could feel the warm blood trickling over
his hand, dyeing the bosom of his shirt a
vivid red.
His eyes fell npon his trembling hand,
which Btill clutched the pistol. It was
not smoking, and suddenly there echoed
in Wyndain's ear the dull full of the
hammer. He realized that he wus not
shot: that the pistol hud been unloaded.
The mirror, which he faced, unmerci
fully reflected him. The color hud fled
from his face: his eyes were fixed and
distended; his lips were twitching. He
gave some contemptuous commiseration
to the abject figure, failing to realize im
mediately that it was himself.
The weapon dropped from his nerveless
fingers, and be buried his face in his
several fruitless attempts, got to bit feet.
Ho groped hit way blindly to tho cur
trldges, and when he at last had tbt box
in his hand' slowly retraced his steps to
the pistol, which lay upon the floor. He
loworod his hand for it, but ho could not
pick it np. Ho had lost control of his
lingers. He drow himself erect and
wiped away tbe cold perspiration which
bad broken out on Ills brow.
"Great Ood," he whispered, "what
coward I ami"
Ilocnrvfully smoothed tho anguish from
hit face, and once again bent for the re
volver. This time he was ablo to con
vey it to the tablo. Ho endeavored to re
load it, but could not.
"I shall rost for a time," he tnodltated
drugging himself to a chair. "It is true
I told him I should end it all within tho
hour, but there is no pressing hurry, nnd
my worst enemy would not wish
shorten these extra moments."
His eyes wandered aimlessly about the
room, but nnuily rested upon a lung en
vuioiie wnicn my upon ins desk. It wus
directed to him iu an unfamiliar hand,
In one corner was the name and address
of a prominent firm of lawyers. He
bad noticed it previously, but had not
opened it. Now, wishing to divert hii
mind, he incuriously broke the soul.
It was a lengthy communication, but
from his brief glance he gleaned that
through the death of his mother's only
brother no ami ins brother were joint
heirs to on enormous fortune. He re
stored tho letter to its envelop. The in
telligonce seemed an unnecessarily cruel
taunt of fato. His riches or his poverty
could not now concern him.
"And to think of it all reverting to
Howard," lie mattered. "He will not
know how to nse it; be will 1k more tin
comfortable- than pleased. Ho becomes
heir to 10 times what should originally
nave been ins through ono man a perfidy
and because I am that man's son. and
because it is a just law that the sins of
the father shall be visited on the chil
dren 1 must suffer. There is but one
consolation no one knows, or over can
know, the depth of our father's baseness
but ourselves."
It suddenly flashed upon him that the
knowledgo bud now narrowed down to
himself. He turned tho envelope over
caressingly, rciicuting softly, "No one
on earth knows but myself,"
Ho seemed to derive a certain satisfuc
tion from the words.
'Were we right in so summarily-de
ciding that only through our death could
restitution be made'r he demanded.
Howard would be far more content if
left with his books und a modest com
petency. The control of vast wealth
would be nothing but a burden to him,
Of course he could nut be given what is
rightfully his without creating suspicion.
and thut must bo avoided, but we eun"
Ho went no further, for he was again
confronted by his brother's death. He
onco more extended his hand to the re
volver, and all his lately acquired re
pose vanished. His face hardened; a
look of subtle cunning crept about his
hps.
"ferhnps it Is ns well, ho urged.
"Ho would never have beeu at peace, for
he had an exaggerated idea of honor. If
I determiuotolive," he pursued, "I shall
resolutely thrust from me the remem
brance of what we discovered. There
will be nobody, nothing, to remind me
of it, and even to myself I shall nppear
as much a man of honor as before we
happened upon these papers.
With dogged firmness he replaced the
cartridges and revolver in their compart
ment. No sign of the conflict which hud
rnged remained.
It hud grown lute, and be carefully
dressed for dinner. Once or twice his
thoughts hovered over the motionless
form lying in his brother's room. It
would be uecessary for him to feign sur
prise when the servants found the body,
but he impressed upon himself the fact
thut he must be cautious not to overact
bis rolo.
He had dressed without bis valet's
help, but as he wus about to leave the
room he heard him in the corridor. He
advanced toward the door, smiling a lit
tle, as if pleased at having got ulong
without the man s assistance.
He opened the door, then retreated a
step, as did also the man on the thrush
old.
The two brothers, both carefully
dressed, stood face to face. Alice S.

opinion to tho effect that spiritualistic
seances must be placed in the category
of theatrical shows and entertainments,
tnd that therefore the- are subject to

The Women Know Heal.
Much comment has been caused bv the
ollicial reports of the United States and
Canadian governments, in which are
presented the evidences of the superior
strength, purity and wholesomeness of
the Koyal Baking Powder.
It is true that the good housewife looks
upon commendations of the Koval Bak
ing Powder from scientists and official
sources bucIi as these verv much like
the gilding of refined eold." Her prac
tical experience long since taught her in
the most convincing way the great use
fulness and superiority of the Koval
article. A higher proof than this she
does not want and cannot have. Yet it
s pleasant for her to realize that the
facts established by these great com peti
live testa, these scientific examinations
made under direction of the government,
exactly parallel those she had before
worked out in her own common-sense,
practical way.
It does not appear that anv baking
powuer, when presented in competition
wim tne Koyal, either at tne govern'
ment tests or before World's Fair juries
has ever received favor or award over the
Koyal or made an enual showing in
purity, strength or wholesomeness.
A Vision of Heaven Itefnre Heath.
V. li Gaines, an old colored local
preacher of Cambridge, O., awoke his
wife Tuesday night and told her he had
a vision of heaven. The angels who
gathered around him assured him he
wonld enter parudise and be with them
April 28, at 7 o'clock in the evening. In
spite of his friends' ridicule the old man
made his preparations accordingly.
Thongb he insisted his time was at hand,
there were no signs of coming dissolution
until just before the scheduled time,
when he quietly lay down and died.

Sixteen races, with features built on
all the lines of facial architecture, rode
side by side in a World's fair smoker last
evening. The collection was so speckled
and mottled in disposition and color that
a census was taken. There were two
gibliering Zulus, who had come witb
African diamond dust; three sod Turks,
with fezzea and scimiters; a gronp of
Chinese actors; a tteusive Spaniard, with
sombrero; a begoggled Englishman, who
divided a strap with an Arab; a brace of
Frenchmen, all angles and points: a high
browed and long whiskered Russian, a
bronzed Greek, a Kansas farmer; just-
over Germans, who crowded a mild man
nered man from Ceylon; a handsome
Viennese; two Egyptians, with bare

Tha Itlpeeat Fresh Water Cargo.
The new steamer Selwyu Eddy, the
largest freight carrier in the world float
ing on fresh water, was loaded recently
for her initial trip, bite carries the larg
est cargo of wheat ever shipped on the

caiiacitv at 1"0.000 bushels or aliout 35,-
OUO bushels more than the largest cargo
ever carried on the Likes.
An ordinary freight car carries abont
.Ks) Imshels of wheat, and the Selwyn
Eddy's cargo is eqnul to J carloads.
A train containing 300 cars would be
abont two miles long. Twelve engines
wonld be required to draw snch a train.
The cargo of the Eddy, if gnmnd into
flour and made into bread, wonld feed

n Oar Great Grandfather's Time,

Diunaernuss" ol
that decade they
were big and clum
sy, but ineffec
tive. In tins cent
ury of enlight

Dr. Pierce's

lets, which
cure all liver,
stomach and
bowel derange
ments in the
most effective
way.
Assist Nature
little now and then, with a gentle.
cleansing laxative, thereby removing of-
lending matter Irom the stomach and
bowels, toning up and invigorating the
liver aim quickening its tardy action.
and you thereby remove the cause of a
multitude of distressing diseases, such as
headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
biliousness, pimples, blotches, eruptions
boils, constipation, piles, fistulas and
maladies too numerous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels, they would have less fre
quent occasion to call for their doctor's
services to subdue attacks ot dangerous
diseases.
That, of all known agents to accom-
flish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
'ellets are uuequaled, is proven by the
tact that once used, tliey are always in
favor. Their secondary effect is to keep
the bowels open and regular, not to fur
ther constipate, as is the case with other
pills. Hence, their great popularity,
with sufferers from habitual constipation,
piles and indigestion.
