A DETECTIVE'S DISCOVERY.
How Mrs. Popperman Crew Jealous
Over a Mysterious Bur.
' "Where did these burs come f rom ?"
and Mrs. roppernian pulled three real
old-fashioned burs from her husband's
coat as ho lay on the lounge tho other
evening.
Now, it would have been very easy
for Mr. ropperman to have told where
tho burs came from, but ho thought it
would bo a good joko to mystify his
wife, so he protended to be surprised.
11 don't know."
"Have you been in tho country to
day?" "No."
"Well, it's very singular how a busi
ness man " can get burs on his
clothes in New York."
""Well, I'll tell you. Tho health
officers have planted burdock bushes on
Broadway to pnrify tho air and prevent
the horses from havirfg tho blind stag
gers. Sometimes I brush up against
these bushes."
"Oh V Mrs. Topperman eyed her hus
band suspiciously, but said . nothing
more.
Tho next morning two more burs
were picked from his pants.
"Now, I want to know what this
means. I went to New York yesterday
on purpose to see if there was bushes
on Broadway. Thero wasn't one. Now,
I want an explanation."
"Well, I'll tell you, my dear. These
are bnrs. They are the frait of a re
markable tropical plant which is now
on exhibition at tho Fifth Avenuo hotel.
This plant is twenty feet high. Oc
casionally I go into the hotel, and.
while standing under tho leaves of this
plant, the fruit, which resembles burs,
drops on my clothes."
"What is the name of this singular
plant?"
"The botanical namo is Lumty turn
olius." '
After Mr. Topperman had departed
tho next day his wife sought a de
tective. "My husband comes home every
night with burs on his clothes. Now I
want you to follow him and find out
where he goes."
Tho detective undertook to solve tho
mystery. No burs on Mr. Topperman's
clothes that night nor the next. The
third night he returned with the usual
complement. The next day the detective
called upon Mrs. ropperman.
"I've discovered all !"
"What! Ia my husband then false to
me? Does he go to the country to visit
some woman, or does he spend his after
noons at Central park ?"
"I followed your husband two days,
lie attended strictly to his business.
The third day he left his oflice about 2
o'clock, and "
"Went in the country?"
"No, ma'am. He came to Brooklyn
and rode to the vacant lot which he has
just purchased on Schermerhorn street.
While superintending the erection of a
fence around tho lot he often came in
contact with tho burdock bushes, and
there is where he gets the burs."
"Oh, I am so glad. You have done
your work well. Good day, sir."
That evening when Mr. Topperman
returned his wife threw her arms around
his neck and said : "My dear, I'm so
glad to know you are not a villain."
"What do you mean?"
""Well, about those burs, you know. I
put a detective on your track, and ho
told me that you got the burs in that
lot on Schermerhorn street, and that
you are innocent."
"Ha ! Ha ! So yon put a detective on
my track, did you? "
"Yes."
"Good joke;" and Mr. Topperman
laid back in his chair and fairly roared
with laughter.
"Yes dear, and here's tho detective's
bill, which you have got to pay."
"To shadowing Mr. Topperman for
three days, at $9 per day, $27."
The laughter subsided, and for an
hour it was so quiet that you could have
heard a bur drop.
Davy Crockett.
Davy Crockett Was, in his day, tho
member of tho house of representatives
most asked for by strangers. Beared
in the log cabin of a llevolutionary sol
dier, he became noted as a bear-hunter
and rifle shot, and he commanded a
battalion of mounted riflemen under
Gen. Jackson, in the Creek campaign.
He finally was elected to congress from
Tennessee, and h:s speeches were al
ways listened to with interest. He was
a middle-sized, fine-looking man, with
resolute features, and a rather defiant
air. Espousing the cause of the bank,
he gave offense to many of his constit
uents who were friends of Gen. Jack
son, and published a book written for
him at "Washington, on the title page of
which was his motto :
Remember this when I am dead,
lie sure you are right then go ahead.
The book and his frank speeches re
turned him to the favor of his constitu
ents, but when the American settlers in
Texas made an appeal for help, he went
there in command of u company of
Tennessee riflemen, and was killed
while gallantly fighting at San Antoine
de Bexar, in March, 1S3G. John W.
Crockett, a son of David, was ele-'te-I to
congress soon after his father's death,
and served for two terms, after which
he was elected by the legislature attor
ney for the Ninth district of Tennessee,
llemoving to New Orleans, he was for
a time associate editor of Tho National,
and he went from there to Memphis,
where he died in November. 1S52.
A. Ir I titer's Working Hand.
A Russian statistician has amused
himself calculating the distance traveled
in a year by the hand of a printer. He
takes the principle that a skillful com
positor, working ten hours a day, al
lowing for distribution and correction,
Bets up 12,000 letters. In counting the
year at 300 working days, he makes
them a total 3,000,000 letters. Conse
quently the distance from the case to
the stick and from the stick to case
being estimated at two feet, makes in
all 7,200,000 feet, there being 23,500
feet in a geographical mile, so that tho
distance made in a year under these
conditions by a printer's hand is in tho
neighborhood of 300 miles, or a mile a
day. j ,m

THE LIMEKILN CLUB
Is Treated to a Few Pertiueut Bo
marks on Physicians' Practiees.
"Who am de doctah?" asked Brother
Gardner, as Samuel Shin finally got
room for his feet and the meeting came
to order.
"In de fust place he am a young man
who t'ars up sidewalks, lug? off gates,
takes up two seats in de street kyar,
walks six abreast on de sidewalk, culti
vates slang an am only two p'ints re
moved from a loafer. He graduates,
no has l'arned some Latin, some sur
gery, and what he doan' know 'bout
medicine he ain't gwino to practice on.
By an' by you h'ar of him as a success
ful doctah. Ho has stuck his stakes an
drawn his lines. Ho has. l'arned dat
castor ile am a gentle cathartic, an' he
will purcoetl from dat to figger what
may be good fur typhoid fever.
"De doctah am a man who puckers
his mouf an' shakes his head. He am
wery careful not to talk too much. If ono
of his patients f oun' dat aqua pura meant
water de doctah would consider tho
case hopeless. What ho lacks in knowl
edge he reckons do family will make up
in good nussin'.
"Tho doctah am a wise man. If he
finds do pulse up an' de tongue coated
he knows dar'am a fever. J f it shouldn't
happen to be a fever de medicine would
do jist do same good. When he can't
tell a case of measles from a case of
small-pox he kills iwo birds with one
stone by prescribin' luir de latter.
"If a fam'ly doctah should sot down
an tell a patient dat he had bilious
fever, an' dat he was givin' him sartin
remedies an dat ho would be oat in
twelve or fourteen days, do patient
would expire inside of two hours. De
only safe way am to shako de head,
scare de wife inter fits, an' pronounce
it a case of life an' death whar do
chill'en mus' be spanked and tied up,
de doah-bell mulHed, an' all de re
lashuns telegraphed to. It's only arter
de putient am seen sawin wood de week
alter dat he am told what a clus' shavo
he had.
"De doctah am a. man who sticks.
When he gits hold of a case dar' am no
let go onless he am pulled off. If he
can't cure he kin advise a trip to Mack
inaw or Florida, an' if de patient am
oneivil 'nuff to die on his hands all od
der doctahs am ready to testify dat his
life was presnrved a hull y'ar longer dan
could have bin expected. De doctah
w.bo would admit dat a case was too
coinplitfciod Uzr him would be hustled
outer de ring in no tlu.
"Do doctah am a great stickler fur
de 'professional.' It ain't professional
to advertise dat he am a doctah. De
public mus' take him for a bank robber
or a hoss-jockey an' keep up de in
quirin' until it am diskyvered dat he am
a doctah. It ain't professional fur two
doctahs to meet ober de same patient,
fur fear he will git well. It ain't pro
fessional for one doctah to amit dat
anoder has written morphine whar' he
meant quinine an' killed somebody.
Eben when a coroner's jury am sittin'
on do body of a butchered woman it
ain't professional fur a doctah to call it
a case of abortion. It mus' be his
opinyun dat de woman was run ober by
a train of kyars. Nobody eber h'ara
of a doctah makin' mistakes. De
undertaker kivers 'em up an' de fra
ternity take de witness btand. Let ua
now purceed to bizness." '
Street Pbysioznomy.
But residence streets are those that
concern the greatest number of hours,
waking and sleeping, in the twenty
four. It takes little to make or mar
them. Often a whole street can be
made a blank by the s'mple fact that its
constituent residents have not learned
their habits of homo lifo in the right
place. If they are of the middle New
England classes, for instance, with
whom it is a law, as fixed as that of
gravitation, to keep the front part of
the house shut to darkness and silence
while the rear is Ctinsen as the theatre
of household life, the street is as life
less as the parlors that line it. There
are streets where fashion rules. It is
apparent in an excess of outre statuary,
vases, shell-bordered flower beds,
strained efforts of tho landscape "ar
tist," and tortures in hedge and treo
trimming.
But the proper ph .fsiognomy of a
street lies between three two extremes,
where culture and means form a happy
and sensible union. Here parlor blinds
are always open by day and the front
windows are bright with, the family
lamp or hearth fire by night. Fences,
if there are any, are not elaborate fic
tions of the carpenter or iron founder,
but good, plain barriers against truant
cows and a reasonable Thus-far-and-no-farther
to lawless boyn. The lawns are
of good domestic grass, not too assidu
ously clipped, like the head of a dude;
and boys and girls tread them as their
own native and trespassless heath. Life
and its enjoyment make up the ideal
street, and to live well it must have
neither poverty nor riches. The bars
ground and the squalor of the pauper's
hut is out of pla:-e. The vain squander
upon senseless house and home display
are as bad. -
The popular street combines evi
dences of good sense, modesty and
thorough bonhomie. Its people must
not curtain or hedge each other out too
completely. The houses must speak
frankly and good-naturedly of frank
and good-natured people within. Neat
ness attends it at every step. Its
Augean stables do not infringe on the
nostrils of neighlxrs or the passing
pedestrian, and the penetralia of the
kitchen makes way with all smells that
offend and should be plucked out.
Abundant shade from tho common and
familiar trees that we all enjoy, and
sidewalks that d; i;ot divide our eye
sight with si t rounding i entities, are
also among its traits. And, last and
best of all, the good s'roet must be
alive with the flesh and b'ood of home
loving, friend soeldug pe p'o. Of such
streets the best cities are m
A dirloti Flower.
D. M. Taylor, of Indianapolis, has
succeeded, after fifteen years' constant
effort, in producing a bloom on the
Damperil or Australia glory pe, a
great curiosity in .the horticultural
kingdom. The flower is of s'ri ii:g
beauty, the petals forming an o t ine
of the human face 8'irinounted by a
helmet. The leaves of the p'an! fold
up at night like those of the sciw.tive
plant. It grows in dry sand, the .'tast
moisture applied to either leaves or
root being fatal.

SCREENS AND POSES.
Deviees which Photographers Use to
Slake Sood-IookIns Picture.
Now, then, sir," said the sitting ar
tist of a photograph gallery, forcing
the back of the reporter's head into the
vise, "keep the head about so with tho
chin up ; and just try and smile, will
you?"
The reporter attempted to smile, but
didn't see why he should hold up hi3
chin so high.
"That is to prevent a deep shadow
under the lower jaw. You see, our
light comes through the roof. Some
times we have to fix a screen to throw
the light under the chin. "We use side
screens for people who like a white
line all along tho nose. Others are
troubled with hollow cheeks, and we
have to. throw light from the screens
into these cavities, and fatten them up,
so to speak, with sunlight. Now keep
quiet, and look at this corner. Wink,
not often, but naturally. Now smile.
You are speakiDg of screens," continued
the artist, growing talkative, as the
operation was over. "Well, the chief
things I lave to know are how to use
those screens and how to pose custom
ers. If a somewhat lean lady comes
here for a picture I must fill her out;
if she has wrinkles I must smooth
them. Suppose I reflect a screen light. I
almost like painted lines in the finished
picture. But let me fill the creases
with light, and they will become deli
cately accentuated tracings. And, of
course, such an operation would take
ten or fifteen years off her pre
sumable age. A brilliant photo
graphic artist in Sixth avenue
said to me the other night: 'Give
me just the light I want and the proper
screens, and I will make you a Venus
de Milo out of an old hag, provided she
has simply the structural proportions
of that statue.' In principle he was
right, though he might not be able to
hit the mark exactly in practice."
"So if we go to a real photographic
artist," said the reporter, "we are more
likely to get a pretty picture than a
faithful likeness."
"That doesn't follow. Our power of
modifying a person's appearance must
be used with judgment. And you must
remember that to photograph peoplo
just as they are is precisely tho way to
make a poor likeness. When you meet
persons you are acquainted with they
talk and smile, express some emotion,
or evince a certain amount of animation
in their faces, which, unfortunately,
they leave behind them at tho photog
rapher's door. That's why I always
advise people to take a friend with them
when they go to a gallery. And that's
why I've often taken a better pic
ture of a mother while she was holding
a child in position tcsr a photograph
than when she was sitting for her own
picture only. When caring for tho
child she appears just as her friends see
her. You know that we seldom see
faces as they really are ; we only see an
appearance. Get an absolutely exact
picture of a lady who is sitting alone,
engaged in doing something which does
not interest her, and compare it with
her appearance in general. - In the first
instance, the eye3 are more sunken , the
corners of the lips lowered, the mouth
more compressed, the cheeks hang
slightly, the jaw has dropped a little,
the eyebrows are straigh'er and their
lines are less varied. All these changes
may, to a non-professional observer,
appear unimportant; but their com
bined influence in making up a picture
would be very marked. Now, while it
is true that our screens and poses and
the animated conversation we some
times start up with a customer do not
restore his habitual appearance, they
go far to compensate for the loss of it."
The "Tip XuLsaiice.
The tip tax is a formidable figure in
daily expenses and annoyances in this
city. That must be paid, though rent
and doctor's bills languish. If it isn't
paid promptly, and with an appearance
of cheerful acquiescence, you can't
move on. It is an English importation
which has grown to overpowering pro
portions. When yon tip a waiter you don't pay
him for what he has done for you. The
man who employs him does that. You
give him a coin as the tribute exacted
by inferiority of its bettors. It is tariff
levied upon superior position. In some
ill-defined way it is supposed to confer
honor on the giver, and in an unmis
takable way it degrades the receiver.
That feature of the transaction, how
ever, disturbs not the waiter. Ho
wants his tip and will h-we it, regard
less of ultimate results. And he knows
exactly how to get it, too. He con
trives to make the guest nnders'and
that he expects it ; that it is a part of
the programme which, if omitted, wo.ild
leave him, the guest, no self-respect at
all.
Mr. Yellowplush does all this without
swerving a hair's breadth from tho
strictest outward decorum. He says
nothing on the subject, of course. He
simply makes his face, his manner, hi
attitudes, and his voice convey his
wishes. Thero is no mistaking the sig
nificance of the language he employs.
The strongest man becomes helpless
under this treatment, and yields in spite
of a thousand resolutions to discourage
the whole exasperating business.
The circle addicted to levying tips is
constantly increasing. Torters, table
waiters, messengers, baggage-wheelers,
janitors, and all orders of servitors who
are without pride, belong to tho tip
receiving fraternity; but the table
waiter leads off. He is the most skilled
tip-getter. He can reduce the most
obdurate to subjection. Only those
who never expect to return to the
dining-room over which he presides
escape him.
Even the female waiter has picked
up a little of the art of tip-compelling.
She serves in bakeries, dairies and less
pretentious places than does the
grandiose creature who poses in swell
dining-rooms, and is more reasonablo in
her demands, but she is not to bo put
off. If the nimble quarter is not forth
coming with reasonable promptitude
she grows cold as to the expression and
insufferable as to the manner. You
feel as uncomfortable as a Russian
monarch expecting a Nihilist's dagger.
After the placatory coin reaches her
she smiles and grows as genial as a
Florida garden.
Ills Head Was Level.
"Yes," said the young man "I made
my tailor knock off $5. on tho
price of the suit before I ordered it. I
thought it was better not to owe so
much money, and I guess he finally
came to look at it in a similar light.
He doubtless made up his mind that it
would be better to lose $45 than $50,
which was where his head was level."

ADVICE TO CONSUMPTIVES.
On the appearance of the first symptoms
as general debility, loss of appetite, pal
lor, chilly sensations, followed by night
sweats and cough prompt measures of re
lief should be taken. Consumption is
scrofulous disease of the lungs; therefore,
use the great anti-scrofulous or blood puri
fier and strength restorer, Dr. Pierce's
"Golden Medical Discovery." Superior to
cod liver oil as a nutritive, and unsurpassed
as a pectoral. For weak lungs, spitting of
blood and kindred affections it has no
equal. Sold by druggists. For Dr. Pierce's
Treatise on Consumption send two stamps,

Dujardin's Life Essence cures neuralgia
and nervous headache.
"Oh, my back?" is a common exclama
tion and expresses a world of misery and
suffering. It is singular this pain arises
from such various causes. Kidney disease,
liver complaint, wasting affections, colds,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, overwork and ner
vous debility are the chief causes. When
thus ailing, seek prompt relief. It can be
found best in Brown's Iron Bitters. It
builds up from the foundation by making
the blood rich and pure. Leading physi
cians and ministers use and recommend
it. It has cured many and if you are a
sufferer try it.
Dujardin's Life Essence positively cures
hysteria,, and all nervous affections.
Did any scientific physician know the
formula from which Ammen's Cough
Syrup is prepared, he would not only rec
ommend, but prescribe it to his patients
troubled with a cough or cold, or any dis
ease of the throat and lungs. Try it. It
has no equal. For the benefit of those who
would say "another humbug," a trial 15
cent size is prepared. Ask your druggist
to get it for you. In bottles at 15 cents, 50
