SHIPPING DETECTIVES.
Men Whoso Solo Business It Ib to
Prevent Thefts.
They Shadow onsljrnmpnts of Good,
from the Time Th y Leave the
tttore Until They Keacli the
lie pot.
While in conversation with his at
torney the oilier dav the head of one of
the largest wholesale dry g s houses
in the citv had occasion to relcr
to refer casu
ally to the various classes of men
whom his linn found it necessary to
employ, says - the Chicago Herald.
After citing salesmen, various kinds of
clerks, credit man, cashier, book
keepers, etc., the head of the firm add
ed, "and shipping detectives."
"And what'.'" asked the attorney, as
though he had misunderstood the term.
"Whipping detectives," replied the
client.
"Well, that's a new one on me!" It
was also new to the Herald representa
tive, who was all attention.
"There's nothing strange about that,"
said the wholesaler, "for the shipping
detective is quite a new thing Few
houses only the larger ones have
cause to employ them, and the house
that does usually keeps the matter as
much of a secret as the condition of its;
bunk account."
"What are his duties?"
! "Principally to shadow consignments
of goods from the time they leave the
store until they reach the freight depot
and the railway company becomes re
sponsible for them by accepting aud re
ceipting for thcin."
"A sort of watch-dog on the team
ster?" "Only in part. You see we ship a
great many small boxes which fre
quently contain hundreds of dollars
worth of goods, such as tine silks,
satins, rich trimmings, etc. Often the
wagon on which these boxes leave the
store passes through alleys or narrow
and unfrequented side streets. I need
not remind you that there are scores of
of very bold, dexterous thieves in Chi
cago, as well as other big cities, who
are constantly on the lookout for op-
portunities to nip anything whatever Klectrio Bitters will cure all diseases ot
that can be turned into money. Many j the liver and kidneys, will remove pim
expensive experiences with tiiese peo- pies, boils, salt rbeum and other affec
Dlo have demonstrated that they keep tions caused by impure blood. Will
themselves reinarknlily well informed
as to the more, valuable shipments mode
by wholesale houses. In former years
it was an almost daily occurrence for
wholesale houses particularly those in
our line to have small boxes of fine
goods boldly taken from the wagons in
broad daylight while going the com
paratively siniill distance necessary
to be covered between store and freight
depot. Only a few years ago our linn had
three such boxes stolen at a clip from
one of our wagons at two o'clock in the
afternoon, while they were being carted
less than four squares. Hy a descrip
tion which was furnished of the thieves
by a bnotblaek we caught one of the
three bold laddies and sent him over
the road, but we never recovered the
goods, which were valued at over three
thousand dollars. This was hut one of
several such losses. Now we have men
that do lit tli' else than keep their eye
on goods from the moment they are
placed on the. transfer wagons until
they are safe wit hiu tho responsibility
of the railroad company. And frequent
ly it keeps them dodging very lively,
for they, of course, follow the wagons
afoot, going along the sidewalk, and
keeping a sulllcient distance iu the rear
bo as not to attract attention.
"Another duty of the shipping de
tective for whom some houses have a
different name is to prevent, so far as
possible, the theft of consignment ad
dresses. There are firms doing busi
ness in this and, 1 suppose, other cities,
who employ men to lay in wait at vari
ous times and places and copy the ad
dresses on boxes of goods which other
linns are sending out. The object is
plain, namely, to have their salesmen
call on the parties later on and try to
get their trade. The shipping detec
tives employed by us have caught
several such . neaks, but not withstand
ing they arc guilty of plain unvarnished
thieving, yet all we can possibly hope
to do iu the nia.U'r is to drive them
away, or, when we catch them at it,
give them a sound bast ing. Of course
they will never reveal the inline of the
firm they are stealing the addresses for,
and this makes it impossible for the rep
utable houses Ui publicly expose their
despicable musters. Such hirelings are
usually blacklisted clerks from other
cities and they hold their dishonorable
jobs but a short time. Anyone notic
ing the loads of boxed goods that are to
be seen upon the principal downtown
streets at any hour of the day will ob
serve that as a rule the addresses are
not exposed. If they are, the boxes iu
all probability represent imports in
stead of exmirts. A strict following of
this rule regarding tho placing of
boxes on wagons is enforced by nearly
ull the houses and goes far toward
guarding against the class of thieves
lust mentioned."

AN HONEST JERSEY GIRL.
She Refused to Take rune That ffM

She was from the country, and the
country in her case was New Jersey.
You would learn the first from the tan

any room for doubt on cither point it
would have been removed by her bag.
The woman from Jersey, according to
the New York World, always carries a
bag when she comes to town. She was
on a Iiroadway car and had ridden all
the way from Grand street up to Twen-1
ty-first. There sh signaled the con
ductor to stop the car. She let it come
to a dead standstill before she rose from
her seat. Then she made a leisurely
progress to the door and stepped from
the platform still deliberately. The
car was well under way in obedience to
the impatient jerk of the conductor's

"Here's your purse!" he yelled.
"You've gone off and left it."
She turned, walked unhurriedly back
to the car, looked hard at the purse and
said in a gentle drawl:
"I can take it, if you wish, but it
isn't mine!"
The car, with a mad conductor and a
load of amused passengers, was started
on its way by a tingle that almost
wrecked the bell rope. The woniaD
smiled and returned to the sidewalk.

ENGLAND.
A Sport In Which Many Hold
Britons
Tike (ireat Delight.
Though the tenant and the landlord,
the (fame-keeper and the gardener be
wail the plague of rats, says the Lon
don Globe, there is one personage who
is delighted at its existence, and that is
the lazy, sport-loving, poaching village
wastrel, who finds in rat-catching an
employment that at once gratifies his
inclination for out-of-doors recreation
and yields a respectable wage without
excessive toil. In Norfolk there hardly
seems to he a hamlet without one or
two men of this kind in it, and, being
in that county about a fortnight ago, I
took a fancy to watch a forenoon's rat
eatching. .That was no dillieult matter.
You cannot take a walk without com-
mg
across some one engaged in it.
The specimen I stumbled upon was
stiffly-built but strong-made veteran of
sixty or so, with a bristly gray mus-
tache, a big voice, a sharp eye, and a
joke ready for every occasion.
His implements were a long spade
with an iron hook on the handle, a
sickle for clearing away nettles aud un
dergrowth, and a box which contained
his ferrets and a number of glass-stoppered
bottles. "The varmin bit so," he
explained, "he had to carry ointments
and balsams to dress the wounds."
Taking up one of his ferrets he showed
where its head was all scarred with
toothmarks. For the protection of his
own hands he wore stout chamois
leather gloves. lint the most interest
ing part of his equipment consisted of
the sharpest looking dogs I have ever
seen. The fancier who administers
small doses of arsenic in order to make
tho coats look well on the bench might
well have envied them the healthy,
glistening sltins produced by constant
work in the open. Yet the creatures
themselves were hopeless mongrels, in
color and shape not unlike Scotch ter
riers, but larger.
A hole was just being finished as I
went up. "Is there any more, I!ob?"
asked the rat catcher, addressing, just
as . h( hnA )jeon ft Ciristian( the rao,st
....... . .1 l
aired of his followers. Hob sniffed and
turned nwav.. "All right," said his
master, "go on to the next." Hob
wagged his tail and set off along the
bank of the dyke, merely glancing at
several little burrowings. "I follows
Hob," remarked the man, as he gath
ered up his traps together. "There!
he's found 'em;" and sure enough the
terrier had stopped and made a "dead
point" fifty yards along the ditch, and
no sooner was a ferret taken out of the
box than he planted himself in front of
one "Holt Hole." ins companions cnose
two more, and the whole three stood
alert and vigilant, but perfectly still,
while the ferret was put in. Hardly
had that been done for a couple of min
utes ere, the rats, large and small, be--run
to dash out into the very jaws ot
be dogs.
Fifteen had been killed and then
lame an interval that made us tninK
the last was finished. Hut when we at
tempted to move Hob gave a whimper
and a little scratch at the earth he was
watching. "I mun dig him out," said
the man, and a f.'W well-directed pokes
with a .spade disclosed a rat that might
have been the father of the tribe,
caught in a blind alley. A single snap
was enough to lay him dead, and Hob,
with his customary sniff, turned heels
and was oft' to new quarters. This time
his point was made opposite a thick
hedge, the dry ditch running alongside
being quite choked up with briars, net
tles and weeds.
With the reaping hook these were
soon cleared away, however, and some
idea of the extent to which the vermin
prevail may be judged from the fact
that at least half a dozen "loose" rats
were lulled oeiore tne icrrets were
used at all. I imagined a splendid
day's work had been accomplished
when eighty-six rats had been killed,
and both terriers, ferrets and men were
obviously Ueconnug lagged witn the
work.
For it must be remembered that the
creatures had not congregated in one
place, as they do in a corn rick, but
were all found in open country that is
to say, in the" boundary ditch and
hedges of a turnip held. Hut subse-
quent inquiry showed that the slaugh-
ter had not been exceptionally large,
two men having between them killed
two hundred and forty-three in a single
morning on an adjacent farm.
Tne tieitKars or raris.
A clever Frenchman has just been
taking the stat istics of the charities of
aris, which are immense in volume,
and he finds that three-fourths of the
colossal sum which they represent is
absorbed by professional beggars. He
gives a very amusing account of the de
vices which they adopt for getting this
enormous sum and for living iu idleness
upon it, and his conclusion is that the
whole system of almsgiving must be
reformed. If something is not done
soon he thinks that the deserving poor
will be entirely crowded out by the
fakirs. There arc well-known mendi
cants in Paris who have plied their
trade until they have become rich and
who are yet undisturbed by the police.

according to locality from TXIWO.OtK)
to 6SO.OOU,000 years. It follows that the
active work of creation lasted fur a
cycle intermediate between these I .-v..
figures. The cycle varied with cnulrsr,
succession of periods of disturbance by
volcanic force and glacial action, and
the frequent submersion of dry land,
alternating with the emerging of conti
nents out of the seas. These may have
retarded the growth ot sedimentary
rocks, hut they cannot have accelerated
it.
A study of fossils teaches the steady
uniformity with which the work of cre
ation proceeded. Since man began to
observe there has been no change in the
formsof animal and vegetable life. A few
species have disappeared not one new
species has been evolved. Not only do
we find the fauna and llora of ancient
Egypt as depicted on monuments which
are probably 8,000 or 10,000 years old
identical with those which are found in
that country to-day, but shells which
inhabited oiir seas before the ice age
and grew in an ocean whose bed overlay
the Kockv mountains are precisely the
same species that are found in the bay
of Monterey and the waters of the
Chesapeake. It is evident that there
has been no essential change in the con
ditions of life since these animals and
these vegetables weie first created, yet
how vast the shortest period which we
can assign to the gap that divides us
from that remote epoch!

FISHING C0KM0KANTS.
A. Pleasant and I'rofltalile I'ajtlme In
Which the Disciples of Confucius
Are Always Wllllnc to En
gage. "The Americans love to go fishing
for sport," said an educated Chinaman
to a New iork Commercial Advertiser
reporter. "I wonder that some of the
sports of Long Island and its watere
have not thought of adopting the Chi
nese idea, which is not a sport but a
thrifty industry in the great rivers and
canals of China. It is valued at mil
lions a year."

dog is trained to "stand" game birds.
The cormorant is a voracious fisher
man, and the gullet of the bird is of a
character that permits it to swallow
fish of considerable size headforemost.
He pursues his prey beneath the water
like the otter, and the address with which
he dives and the pertinacity with which
he hunts his quarry is only equaled by
the rapidity of his evolutions under the
surface.
In his wild state when he catches a
fish transversely he rises to the surface
and jerks the fish into the air, catching
it in the right position for swallowing
when it descends. Ravenous as the
cormorant is, it is easily tamed, and be
comes as attached and familiar with its
friends as a chicken who scratches in
the bread-tray. Col. Selby, an English of
ficer who captured a youngster and
reared him in his bungalow, writes in a
private letter that his bird, which was
a handsome cock, had got "trouble
somely tame." It would waddle after
him with its uncouth, inturned feet and
sometimes would surprise him by
alighting at his heels after a flight of a
mile and paddle after him to a meeting
af the officers' association of the regi
ment with the most absolute assur
ance that he had a right to go wherever
his master went. He cared nothing for
the dogs and cats around the bungalow,
and would walk in and out along the
passages, a monarch of all he surveyed.
The Chinese train and order the cor
morant as the falcon was trained in
medieval ages, not for sport, hut for
profit. They are kept in a dark room
on the junk, and are started to work be
fore sunrise. A small leather thong is
tied around the neck so that they can
not swallow the fish that they catch.
The birds are then thrown into the
river and presently dive after their
prey. Soon a bird will come to the
surface struggling with a big fellow
probably twice his weight. At the call
of his master he will come to the junk,
bringing his booty, and is as eager to go
after another as is a retriever to fetch
chip.
The use of the cormorant as a fisher
man dates hack almost to Confucius'
empire. They were imported by the
Hollanders in the sixteenth century for
use in the dikes, where they made noble
sport for the royal hunters of those
lays. William of Orange carried them
with him to England and furnished
great sport at Hampton court. Even
before they had been known in Eng
land, Whitehxk says he had a cast of
them manned like hawks which would
?ome to hand. These were presented
to him hy Master Wood, who was the
trainer of cormorants to Charles I.
At the present day the bird is bred
' and ti,"l1 to fish and bring its prey
" " onoui a ogature arounuusneCK.
The boats and rafts built for this
especial kind of fishery have in coops
ten or a dozen
trained birds, and it is
istoni.shing to see the size of the fish
which thoy bring back in their beaks.
