A RARE INSTANCE.
One Policeman Who Was Capable. f m
Ifuuvwe Aet.
Policemen perform many unofficial
acts which prove that the proverbial
itony heart does not always beat under
brass button . A pleasing instance is
thus narrated by a writer in the Boston
Saturday Gazette:
A poorly dressed and feeble old
.voman was coming down one of the
ide streets on the Buck Bay, carefully
lalancing a basket on her head. Sud
lenly a treacherous bit of ice, or an
ncquality in the pa vement, caused her
Jomias her footing, uud in striving to
-egain it the basket was thrown to the
ground nnd its contents, a quantity of
small wares, flew in every direction.
Almost before she had time to re
alize the catastrophe, a policeman,
who had been a spectator f the scene
from the opposite corner came hast
ening across the street, and with a
word or two of condolence began deft
ly to collect the scattered spools,
pieces of tapa and thimbles.
Several of the spools had rolled into
the gutter and were rendered worth
less by their contact with the mud,
and my knight of the brass buttons
noticett the ruoiui glance cast upon
them by their owner.
When the last of the articles, rhad
been restored to the basket, ana he
had assisted her to raise it to her
head, he took a piece of silver from his
pocket, slipped it into her hand, and,
with a pleasant little nod in return
for the voluminous blessings showered
upon him, sauntered slowly back to his
post.
This kindly act was certainly not
done for effect, for the street was de
serted at til time, and I was screened
from view by the curtains of the window.
A PETRIFIED DUCHESS.
The Wonderful Statae Possessed by
KtniKHburff Artist.
The petrified woman recently found
in one of the caves which were used as
burial places when Ktrassburg (Ger
many) was plague-stricken in the year
10U4 is now believed to be Duchess
Adelheid, the aunt of Frederick Iiar
barossa. The petrifaction, which has
the appearance of being a beautiful
marble stutiie, is only perfect from the
waist up. It was found in a rude wood
en coflin, which had been deposited in
the cave, among thousands of human
skulls and other remains. When the
workmen opened the coflin they found
that it had been filled with quicklime
or some other preparation, which
strongly resembled common mortar.
Curious to know who bnd been thus
carefully put away among the heaps
of dead they broke into the plaster en
casement and found the wonderful
petrified head and bust above alluded
to. Contrary to the expectations of
the sightseers, the features did not
crumble away on exposure to the air,
but remained clear cut, lifelike and un
wasted. About the head were two
braids of golden hair, and across the
breast both hands had been carefully
folded. The face is said to be one of
great beauty, every feature exhibiting
intelligence and culture. This wonder
ful petrifaction is now in the studio of
llasley Bauer, a well-known Strasa
burg artist
Peppermint Farms.
There are two places in the Cnited
States where the cultivation of the
peppermint plant is one of the leading
industries. Tnc older of these places
is in Wayne county, New York, but for
a quarter of a century the business has
been a well-known one in Ht. Joseph
county, Michigan. In the latter place
a farm of about four hundred acres is
planted with the mint each year and
alternated with clover to keep up the
strength of the soil. The cultivation
of the crop requires more than ordi
nary care. From the time the mint
appears above the ground it is con
stantly cultivated and hoed to keep it
free from weeds, which are the bane of
the peppermint-grower's existence.
Two or three crops are gathered from
each planting. The first and second
crops are the best, and twenty pounds
of oil to the acre is considered a good
yield. The third crop is very apt to be
weedy, and the yield only about ten
pounds to the acre.
A DESPOtTo hul-ER.
Tha Stomach Not Kaeily Dethroned When
Once It Obtains Mastery.
One of the greatest misfortunes that
can happen to a man in his earthly ca
reer is to discover that he has a stom
ach. He may know it theoretically or
recollect the lessons in physiology of
his schoolboy days, but nceording to
the San Francisco Chronicle, when he
finds out by actual, personal experi
ence that he has a stomach he is to be
pitied. The whole science of gastrono
myand it is a science has been de
vised and perfected for the benefit of
the men who have made this discovery.
All the studies of the whole glittering
galaxy of gastronomists, all the culi
nary triumphs of the great restaurants
in the capitals of the world, are due to
the simple fact that men have found
out that they have stomachs, and that
that organ, when once discovered,
must be petted and flattered and
soothed and kept in good humor to
prevent its revolting and creating rev
olution and civil war. It is safe to say
that the primitive man never knew
that he had a stomach. It has been
reserved for civilization to make the
discovery, and it is by no means a fore
gone conclusion that civilization
should pride itself upon hving done so.
The maxim that one never enjoys a
good dinner until after it has been
eaten is a refinement of modern and
degenerate days, containing much
sound philosophy from a certain
standpoint, but that standpoint is a
fictitious and mistaken one. There is
no natural reason why a dinner, good
or bad, should be enjoyed. The one
object of eating is to satisfy hunger,
and that being done, the dinner
should be forgotten. It is only the im
perious and arbitrary stomach which
insists upon a further recognition of
its claims, and it is only human weak
ness which submits to its demand. A
modern philosopher, in terse though
inelegant diction, has laid down this
maxim, which is almost idiomatic:
"You must down your ntomach or
your stomach will down you." There
is more in this than will meet the eye
of the casual reader. The stomach may,
as certain of the ancients believed, be
the. real seat of the emotions, passions
and affections, but we make a great
mistake if we subordinate the ego to
a single organ, and especially to one
which is'only troreadytopresumeupon
the favor shown it and the license
given it. Healthy children know noth
ing about their stomachs, except that
they ache sometimes if called on to do
double duty, and there is nothing so
healthy and happy in the world as a
healthy child. If children of a larger
growth could but ignore the gastric
organ o.- forget it, dyspepsia would be
come a lost disease, and all the evils
that follow in its train would disap
pear. A DETECTIVE'S HINT.
It May Be of Service to Owners of Valu
able Jewels.
One of the big sleuths in the city had
been seen by a citizen who had lost a
diamond scarfpin, says the Chicago
Herald.
"Where did you keep it when you
were not wearing it?" he asked of the
loser.
"Under the lapel of my waistcoat.
Always pinned it there when I didn't
wear it in my scarf."
"Ever have your waistcoat scoured
at the cleaner and dyer's?"
"Yes, once a year." Then he named
the place. The sleuth went to the
place and found the missing spark.
This in itself is of no consequence. But
what the sleuth added may save some
worry. "In a city like this," he said,
"where so many are accustomed to
sending wearing apparel to the scourer
and dyer valuables are likely to be left
in a pocket. I have traced a number
of such articles to those places. I do
not say that all valuables that go in
that direction are recovered, but I sug
gest to people who leave their apparel
at the scourer's to examine the pockets
first. It may save a whole lot of
trouble."

They Represent the I'lace of Coinage or
the L)le-M:tker'M Name.
The "mint marks" on our silver coin
age are so well known that almost any
school child can tell you where a piece
was coined. The "s" means that it is
from the San Francisco mint; ":e"
that it was made at Carson City, and
"o" that it was the work of the New
Orleans money-makers.
Besides the above you will find some
very small letters occasionally, espe
cially on the standard dollar, the Co
lumbian coins, and the design in
the quarters and half-dollar pieces. On
the standard dollar the letter is a
microscopic "m" on the left loop of the
ribbon which binds the wreath sur
rounding the eagle. Another "m" of
larger dimensions may also be found
on the same coin at the lower edge of
the hair. These miniature letters are
private marks of Mason, the man who
made the dies.
On the Columbian coin we find a
clear-cut "B," the initial of Barlwr, the
die-sinker. j
Reference on the subject informs us
that it was formerly a capital offense
for a European die-sinker to mark his !
coins, but from the enormous size of j

THE NEWFOUNDLAND DOQ. j

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report
RlSllI Powder
Absolutely pure
discovered America in the year 10(H), In
troduced this dog in Newfoundland.
He is by some classified among the
wolf-dogs, while others, on account of
his large pendulous ears, say that he
should not belong to this family, but
that he and the St. Bernards should
occupy a place by themselves.
The Newfoundland, says Harpers
Young People, since his introduction
in Enfclnnd, has improved in appear
ance, and is now larger and heavier.
In Newfoundland and Labrador these
dogs are used as beasts of burden,
drawing considerable loads of wood
and provisions on sledges. Their feet
are partially webbed, and therefore
they are most excellent water dogs.
The scent is not strong, and as the dog
is slow and clumsy, he is not valuable
to the hunter, except as a retriever
when speed is not required.
In the island of Newfoundland this
dog is almost totally black, but the
English varieties are usually black and
white. As a watch-dog the Newfound
land is only second to the mastiff. He
is amiable to children and small dogs.
Kept in confinement he often gets cross
and ill-tempered, and flies at those for
whom he has previously shown the
greatest regard.
Where a dog cannot be allowed to
run, and must be chained up, the New
foundland should not be kept. This
dog is a great life-saver, and by in
stinct will jump into the water to save
even an enemy from drowning.
HER HAIR FULL OF WEALTH.
How a Youne; Lady Stole Gold Dost and
Diamonds.
"A young lady employed by a gold
and silversmith in New York has only
her good looks to thank for the fact
that she was allowed to resign without
being prosecuted for theft," remarked
a resident of Brooklyn, according to
the St. Louis Olobe-Democrat. "She
has an extraordinarily fine head of hair,
which she allows to Jiang '.oosely over
her shoulders and nearly down to her
waist. From time to time it was no
ticed that the gold used in the room in
which she worked did not go bb far as
it ought in making jewelry and gem
settings, and that even, allowing for
the filings, which are most carefully
preserved, there was a distinct leak
age. "Steps were taken to subject the em
ployes to a more rigid search, but no
discovery was made until the young
lady with the long hair quarreled with
her roommate over a love affair, and in
a lit of jealousy her rival gave away
the most interesting story. The young
lady had kept her hair well greased,
and then while at work would fre
quently pass her fingers through it cas
ually, as though it were a mere matter
of habit.
"By the process she accumulated a
good denl of gold dust in her hair and
sometimes dropped some diamond chips
as well. Every night sho combed out
her locks with the smallest of tooth
combs, carefully collected the pecul
iarly purloined treasure-trove and sold
it without any dirllculty. She broke

LONDON AND PARIS BEGGARS
Professional Menlluits Have lor Genera
tions Made a Good Living.
The professional beggar is not a mod
ern innovation, by any means, says the
North American Beview. A specimen
case was "Scarecrow," the famouf
London beggar, who, having disabled
himself in his right leg, asked alms all
day in order to get a warm supper at
night. According to John Timbs, the
"liufllers," whom we often find men
tioned in the literature of the seven
teenth century, were troons of idl

Addruss, THE McCALL CO.,
vngrants who infested Lincoln's Inn
Fields, London. They assumed the
character of maimed soldiers who had
suffered in the great rebellion and
found a ready prey in the people of
fashion and quality who drove by. In
deed, it is made clear by contemporary
allusion in comedies that this square
was the regular haunt of bogus crip
ples who lived by mendicancy, which
they carried on in the most barofaced
and even intimidating manner. It is
related that Oeorgo IV., when prince
of Wales, once attended a beggars'
carnival in London, incognito. He
had not been there very long when the
chairman, addressing the company and
pointing to the prince, said; "I call
upon that 'ere gem man with a shirt
for a song." The prince, as well as he
could, got excused upon a friend who
accompanied him promising to sing in
stead, which the latter did amid great
applause. The health of the prince
and his friend having been drunk and
duly responded to, they departed in
order to afford the company an oppor
tunity to fix their different routes for
the ensuing day's business, for at that
time the professional beggars of Lon
don used to have a gcueral meeting
several times during the year nt which
they were divided into companies, each
company having its particular walk.
In those days their earnings varied
much, some getting as high as five shil
lings a day. Most of the professional
beggars in London to-day and their
name is legion emanate from two or
threo common lodging-houses. The
most populous of these, which is known
as "The Dispensary," supports an In
dividual known as a "scriver," who
earns a living by manufacturing the
pathetic signboards which the sham
cripples and the bogus blind men carry
round their necks. In Paris, as is well
known, the professional beggars hold
regular weekly meetings at which the
routes to bo followed by the members
of tho guild are mapped out by a
standing committee. They havo an
organ of their own called the Journal
des Mendicants, which appears twice a
week. From a recent issue tho follow
ing curious advertisement is taken:
"Wanted To engage a cripple for a
seaside resort. Oood references and a
small deposit required." This queer an
nouncement is explained by the fact
that tho proprietors of hotels and
boarding-houses at fashionable French
watering places assume that visitors
would bo disposed to give alms if tin
opportunity were afforded them, and,
as they cannot very well do tho beg
ging themselves, they engage profes
sional beggars, lu wnom tliey grant
permission to solicit alms on their
premises, and the beggars in return
pay them one-half of their daily re
ceipts. Healthy Berlin.
According to the Glasgow Evening
News it appears that the latest statis
tics issued by the German Imperial
health department gave Berlin tho
honor of being tho healthiest city in
the world. The death-rate is given as
only BS.3 per 1,000. The unhealthlest
city is Alexandria, which, despite its
unvarying fino weather, its S00 foun
tains and its soft sea breezes, has a
death-rate of no less than 52.9 per 1,000.
.Married Fourtoeu of Her Own Bex.
The most remarkable trial on record
was that of Mary Hamilton, an English
woman, who was brought into court on
October 7, 171(1. She was one of the
greatest frauds of the day, having suc
ceeded in deluding her own sex in a
most extraordinary uiannu', it being
clearly proven at tho trial that she had
at different times and places married
not less than fourteen other wemen of
various ages.
