He It Denied the Sweets of Praise and the Joys of Fame. The work of a private '"tcctive is one of the most peculiar iu.mj.s of earning a livelihood in the entire category of avocations pursued by civilized men. What is more, doub!. less not one person in a thousand has the remotest idea of the char acter or significance of this most singular outgrowth of ultra civil ized conditions. The detective con nected with the police department is complimented by the press when ever he captures a gang of thieves or discovers an incendiary, but with the private detective the case is different. Long before he embarks in the business he must, above all things, learn to deny himself the sweets of praise and the joys of fame. He must lay aside personal vanity, for his success lies hot in forcing him self to the front, but in remaining as much B3 passible in the back ground. He need have no fear that customers will forget him, for, like a six Bhootcr, a private detective is one of the things that when needed are required inotanter if anything, a trifle sooner, says the San Fran cisco Bulletin.

They Have a Peculiar Taste, Which Improves With Acquaintance. ; i , Notwithstanding the fact that lentils are recognized by students of food economics as among the most nourishing of vegetables, they are very little used in America. In Germany, however, their value is fnUv . armrwintprl. nnA seldom a week passes where "linsen," as they! are there called, do not come to the. table at least once, if not oftener. ! i 1 In their dried state they resemblo , ,n ...M : n form small magnifying lenses, being thick m the middle and ta-j pering toward the rims, i ney are , vow now! n-nrl in ho nroriprlv rtre-' Mr ar h .AfllTMl nvnrmVht in i V e i ; 1 wu Jr, 4 water before cooking.

In this case frankfurters are, as a rule, cooked with the lentils, although some pre fer ham. As a vegetable side dish with frankfurters lentils are just as apwetizing, especially when pre pared with vinegar, as sauerkraut and far more nourishing. Those who have never eaten len tils may consider their taste, which is different from that of any other vegetable, somewhat peculiar; but, like that of olives, it grows upon one. Properly cooxea, tney wiu De found a most welcome addition to the list of soup vegetables that can be served to vary the daily menu. New York Herald. Lightning's 8trange Selection. Probably one of the most remark able lightning accidents of the period was that which took place in one of the eastern counties last summer. A man was shearing a sheep. Another man, passing on a pony, stopped to exchange a few words with the shearer and watch the clipping operation for a minute or two. lie had been standing there but a very short time when a sharp crack of thunder was pre ceded 'by a blinding flash of light ning. The shearer was startled al most out of his senses by seeing the pony and its rider suddenly collapse in a heap, but in a second the man was up, quite unnurt. men ine shepherd, happening to glance at the animal beneath him, found that the lightning had served it as it had served the pony. The Bheep waB stone dead ! This, it may be as well to state, is a perfectly true story. London Tit-Bits. Floating Garden. On the rivers of Cashmere are thousands of floating gardens, formed by long sedges which are woven together in the form of a gigantic mat. These sedge grasses, flutis, stalks and lilies are woven on the river or lake banks while their roots are h t ill growing in the slima undcrnci'.th. The required amount of earth is then superimposed upon the mat, the stalks are then cut, and : lie mat and its load are a full llcdgi'd 'floating garden." They are usually . . it twenty by fifty yards in extent, seldom larger, the full depth of the mat and its earthy cov ering being about three feet. A dis honest Cashmiri will sometimes tow his neighbor's garden away from its moorings and sell the produce of the other's toil. No Bogus Italian Counts. American heiresses need have lit tle fear of bogus Italian counts for the same reason that there is no un itation Italian wine; the real article is too cheap.

Juvenile Reasoning. A learned professor was recently trying to explain to some children how morning stars became evening stars, and, descending, as he sup- osed, to their level, he put the fol owing question: "Suppose a little dog and a horse and wagon were going along the road, and the little dog was in front of the horse and wagon and stayed there. Which would get home first?" A small boy'a voice resp ded, "The horse and wagon would get there first." "Why, how is that?" he was asked. "Because," was the disconcerting replv, "if the little dog was in front of the horse and wagon and stayed there the wagon would run over his and kill him, &zi he wouldn't get home at all." And the pro fessor admitted the justice cf tikfl DO YOU GET UP WITli A LAWE BACK ? Kidney Trouble Hakes You Miserable.

Great American Sporting Resort Re sembles Nothing Foreign. There is nothing fashionable or ponderous in the way the people take their pleasure at Saratoga. Of "among those present," especially during the polo season, there might be made a moderately long list of names which would appeal to the most critical American Yellow plush. But he would he disillusion ized at the spontaneity of the p'os BosFors of the names. That is what they are there for to get away from the routine stupidity of self conscious Newport, which not. a few of them can stand for only so long at a time, just as Billy Bankclerk is there to get away from the stu pidity of his routine existence, and ijoth mingle freely in the paddock and swap tips in the ring, to the horror of Yellowplush, who has come to worship. It was to be expected that the es' tablishment of a place of this kind would be hailed as the creation of an "American Ascot" by those who tret an added zest by. such mental devices, just as the moral ists have anathematized it as "the Monte Carlo of America." It is, to be sure, the one place in the coun try where line horses and line peo pie may be 6een without much tout ing to interfere with either, and it is the one example of really regu. lated gambling in the United States. But it is not very much like Ascot or Monte Carlo, though enough like both possibly to call to mind the rollicking old days of a previous and very different century at Bath if vou have a mina to liken it to something foreign. To me it seems quite interesting as a great American sporting ren dezvous, "the greatest all round" resort of this- sort we have yet evolved, though, to be sure, we are still rather younsr at concentrated frivolity. Outing. PIM&1F0T The matter of feed is of tremendous importance to tlu farmer. Wrong feeding is loss. Right feeding is profit. The up-to-date farmer knows what to feed his cows to get the most milk, his pigs to get the most pork, his hens to get the most eggs. Science. But how about the children ? Are they fed according to science, a bone food if bones are soft and undeveloped, a flesh and muscle food if they are thin and weak and a blood food if there is anemia ? Scott's Emulsion is a mixed food ; the Cod Liver Oil in it makes flesh, blood and muscle, the Lime and Soda make bone and brain. It is the standard scientific food for delicate children.

"Remember, you are to stop for nothing. If you fail, you wilj . he shot, but if you succeed the Order of St. George will cdoni your breast. Now go, and God be with you in all your perils." The young courier knelt and ewore to protect the life of the czar with hi.- own, and then he pushed the curtain aside, leaving the gen eral alone. The evening was fair, cold and beautiful. As the general leaned from the balcony of the palace he thought what a farce this ball was when his heart was full of terror for the czar and all Russia. In the adjoining room near a marble pillar stood a young girl covered with magnificent satin and jewels. Looking at her with flash ing eyes was a man of ahout forty, with coal black hair and cruel ex pression. "Xodine, this must be your work." She shivered as he spoke, but Otaroff, the traitor, had no mer cy. "And to it at once, ' he said. "What is my task?" ehef asked him, and again she shivered. "Merely to throw yourself in his way, and this courier will forget the czar and all Russia." "I doubt it," she answered. "You must not doubt it!" he cried. "Our scheme must go through this time, and the courier will ar rive too late. You hear, my beauti ful daughter?" "But, father," she said pleading ly, "you have never used me as a de coy before. Oh, I beg of you not to do it now! I cannot do it. I can not." "Pool!" he hissed at her. "You little know yrur power. With your beauty you can do anything." "You are a strange father," she said slowly, looking at him with no spark of love ' in her eyes, "bnt I may prove traitor too. What then, father?" lie bent his head and whispered in her ear: "I will shoot you, my beautiful queen, so take care. For the first time tonight I doubt you, but 'tis an insane idea. Go into the ballroom and dance an hour, j then return to your house and pre- j pare for your journey," i She went from him down the marble steps into the room beyond and never once looked back. Her heart was sad and heavy. Many no ticed the beautiful woman, but . wondered why her face was so tragic. It was about 8 the next night after the ball when tho courier of the czar arrived at the first post- house and asked for a change of horses. "Stop a little?" asked the worthy postmaster. No. answered the courier m a tone which silenced all other ques tions. "I want horses and nothing else." The Russian looked with much admiration on this tall courier and speedily went for them. With a clap of the whip the tarantass was off, and the little Russian was alone, but not for long. Down the road he saw another tarantass coming at breakneck speed. "Ah, perhaps they will stop," he said to himself. The little man had to flee for his life, for the horses dashed on, and he only caught sight of a very beau tiful face in a red hood. A dreadful storm broke upon the night, and in the darkness a flying tarantass dashed bv the one occu pied by the courier. "Some one else in this dreadful storm," thought he. "God help them!" When the first dawn of day came, the rain had ceased, and they were almost past the dangers. In the middle of the road lay the figure of a wo man, and the horses almost ran over her. "She is dead!" cried the courier as he laid his hand upon her heart. "No; she lives. I cannot see a mor tal die like this." So, with the help of the driver, he carried her to the arantass and laid her gently down. There he sat, looking at the girl'a ale lace and wondering what he should do with her. Suddenly she opened her Inrjre . dark eyes and gpzed into his face. ler wonurous beauty captivated him, and he forgot to ask her il she was hurt. lie only gazed and said nothin?. "You are a courier?" Ehe asked at length. "Xo. I am captain of the Four teenth guards. And you?" " am going to meet mv father at Isham," she answered. Her voice was wonderfully low and sweet, and ic believed all she told him. They journeyed on together, and the time sped rapidly away. At last thev reached Isham, and he girl looked for her father, hut of course he was not there. She burst into tears and would not be consoled. An officer had taken the nst horses an hour before, and our hero had to wait for his own to reft. In the meantime Nodine, for it was she, wove -a subtle charm around the courier. He was not proof against the glances from her nlendid halt veiled eves. Her red ms nrwtriftl trw s.iv "fYima an.l liso me. Jler voice, her smile seemed; to make the air he breathed delitrht- ul, and his nerves thrilled with Jot. How could he help loving her ? Seeing her ia &U the glory of her youth and boftr.lv, he forgo!, the czar and ail Russia. They were standing beside a high rock, and with an impulse prompted by his great passion lie knelt at her feet, kissing her hands madly and begging her to tell him her name. Her poor heart beat wildly. For the first time she loved, and at the cost of her life she resolved to be true not to her oath, hut to the man who knelt before her. "Go! Flee for your life!'' 6he cried. "My name is' -nihilist !" He started to his feet and turned to leave her in a dazed manner. A sharp report of a pistol sounded in the air, and the courier of the czar fell wounded. With litrlitning quick ness Nodine knelt beside her lover, and while smoothing back his hair with one hand with the other she stole the imperial letter and slipped it into her breast. Then she left him, for she had made up her mind that she would carry the important message to the czar herself. After traveling day and nirht without food or sleep she reached tho palace and delivered the letter to the czar. "What can I do for you?" asked the czar of all Russia. "What do you do for nihilists?" she asked him. "We shoot them," he answered angrily. "Then I shall bo shot." She said it so calmly and deliberately that the czar looked at her m surprise "Nihilist or no nihilist, my child, you have saved my life, and there fore I spare your. You may return to your home in safety." With a cry like a hunted animal i she fell at his feet. I "Don't send me back. The bullet that struck the courier was meant for me. I heard the word 'Trai i tress !' hissed by my own father, and if I go back he will not miss his aim again. He has sworn to kill me if I prove false to the cause, and he will keep his oath. I pray you, don't send me hack." He saw her agony was genuine, I and, placing his hand on her head, I he said: "Rise, child. You stay here." At that moment Ivan Liv eresky, the courier of the czar, dashed into the room. His clothes were covered with mud and his body weak from loss of blood. "Thank God!" he cried when he saw the czar. "Otaroff, the traitor, is captured, has confessed all, and you are safe." "He was my father," said No dine softly. The courier caught the back of a chair for support, and the czar turned to her in anger. "Yes, do with me what you will. I am Nodine Otaroff, who despises her name, her father and, most of all, herself." "Wait a moment," said the cou rier to the czar. "There is some mistake. Otaroif gave me some pa pers and confessed having stolen a child out of revenge from the rich Cordisky. Her name was Nodine." And Liveresky handed the docu ments to the czar, who in turn, after glancing over them, gave them to the young girl. "I will send a messenger to Mos cow, and one who would travel night and day, without sleep or food, to deliver this letter is the noblest of Russians." So said the czar and left the room. "You have saved my life!" the courier cried. "And you mine," answered No dine. "Yet, my loved one, it is worth less without yours." "Then," she said, with glad tears in her eyes, "I give mine for thine. I love thee, Ivan Liveresky." He took her in his arms and kissed her many times. When Cor disky arrived, he found he had gained a' child only to lose her again, for Nodine gave her heart and hand to a young soldier dec orated with the Order of St. George, given to him by the czar of all Rus sia. Exchange. A Memory For Faces. The late Lord Charles Russell of Jvillowen had a wonderful memory for faces. On one occasion he vis ited a theater in Manchester and between acts went behind the scenes to see an old friend. While they were chatting an actor passed, and Lord Charles said to his friend: "1 remember that man. He was the original Father Tori in the 'Col- h.Pn -Rnw-n 1 avr bim in tli.it elmr- 8cter the ni?' t 'he play was pro- duced. twe-itv v.-:t nV Thmi.rb ltussell had not ." r the actor in all that time he rsjuituibered him at once.
