There Is probably no more remark-; able Historical parallel than that ex hibited by the career of Sdplo Afrt can us. the hero of the second Panic war. and the Duke of Wellington, the conqueror of Napoleon. Each was descended from an indent and noble family. Each was the second greatest soldier of his age, pitted in a life and death straggle against the greatest.

Some time ago the wife of a friend of the writer's was riding a long a bridle-path in a public park A park policeman chanced to stop a hundred yards away.and, looking down the riding path.saw a horse standing still in the road and the lice are doing their duty in arrest ing them, and if they are not ill treated they have even a feeling of gratitude. Their imprudence is a characteris tic which, of course, helps the po lice extremely. They have read a gain and again about finger prints serving as marks of identification yet the lower class cannot refrain from eating and drinking what they find in" the house they may rob. They know that their fingers will leave marks, but they do not care. They are as Mr. Reiss points out, gamblers who do not think of the future. Mr. Reiss does not agree with those sociologists and criminologists who say that a large proportion of professional criminals are alcoholics. He agrees that there are many who drink, especially among the occasion al criminals, but he is sure that they are in the minority. Drunken ness piays a part in the increase of criminality, but he thinks that this part has been exaggerated by people who wish to prove their the ories, and he holds that scientists should look at the truth and state frankly that it is not an important factor. Prof Reiss does not, of course, contine his teaching of the habits of criminals to dissertaiton on char acteristlcs. On the contrary, the main part of his work is taken up in instruction in those details o detective work which we all learned so much about from our friend Sherlock Holmes. First of all.there is a dsecription of every known kind of theft- All are tagged with special names, ana tnen ne goes to ways of detecting these) criminals and bringing them home to the right persons. mere are many things to be done.

In the first place Mr. Reiss says that in general criminals do not steal and kill in order to get money The professional criminal is essen tially a gambler who wants to satis fy his desires on the spot without thinking of the future. He does what will give him what he wants regardless of what may be Involved. Similarly he spends what he has got with great liberality, and by this sign several crimes were tracked to their perpetrators. The love of vengeance is anothei marked criminal characteristic. An insult Is quickly repaid with a blow of a knife or the shot of a pistol, and many criminals are found to have the word "vengeance" to tooed upon them However, it is interestign to know that in general this feeling does not extend to the police.

There was a look in his eyes, however.which caused the miners to exchange quizzical winks among inemseives. A surgeon present asked the story teller to allow him to ex amine nis neaa. The result of this examination was that an opera tion was performed upon an old frac ture of the skull.' After his recovery from the operation in a neighboring town a complete change came over the man who had found the rich ieage or yellow metal. He recoyerec his identity and knew himself as he was before the Klondyke expedi tion, and strange still, when the sea son opened again this man hit the trail again, found the rich lode a new and there the ciricumstances o his lost identity came back to him. His pick lay there, together with a round bowlder which had fallen fron a shelf of rock over his head. See ing the situation again, the circum stances came back with a rush. He had struck his pick into some loose stone under the edge of the shelving rock, had caught a glimpse of the ore which loosened from the blow, and an instant later he had lost all consciousness.

There has been complaint that every good story gets accredited to Mark Twain without his having really de served it, but Professor Archibald Henderson in his book "Mark Twain points out that actually many of the best known common sayings first cre ated by Mark Twain are very rarely credited to him. Trig sayings in "Puddnhead Wilson's Calendar," such as "the cauliflower is nothing but cab bage with a college education" are generally known as written by Mark Twain, but there are others of which this Is not true. Some of his best sayings are apropos of the cheerful custom of lying for instance: "Truth is our most valuable possession. Let us economize It" "Never tell a lie except for practice" Is not so well known as the more popu lar "When in doubt tell the truth," Professor Henderson comments that of the latter maxim Mark Twain de clared that he never expected it to be applied to himself. It was for other people. When he was in doubt himself he used sagacity. Perhaps bis best summary is: "Never waste a He! You can't ten when you may need it." A' catchword emanating from Mark Twain is, "Be virtuous and you will be eccentric." Another Is that "there isnt a parallel of latitude but thinks It would have been the equator If It had had Us rights;" There is some thing peculiarly American in his-warn ing to girts not to marry that is, not to excess. To Professor Henderson Mark Twain mode a remark likely to cans with the best of his sayings now that it has been published. Professor Bendeoson was advised before under going a surgical operation, "Console MANY FAILURES Bat Parisan Sage Overcome Miss Krnger's Hair Troubles.

MAKING SHOT. The Tower Prooess Used Ofrfy For the Smaller Sizes. The tower process of making shot wtu uiTCuteu oy wuuam watts, a plumber of Bristol, England, in 1769. His tower was "built" by sawing a square hole In the center of the various floors of his house and locating a well in the cellar, into which the globules of molten lead dropped and were In stantly cooled and hardened. Watts secured a patent in 1782 and sold his London rights In 1800 for S4SL665. His tower Is still In use, although it has been heightened by the addition of several stories. The lead when molten is poured Into a sieve-like receptacle at the top of the tower, and these molten drops, falling into the well. 120 feet below, form the shot, which are then passed through a polishing grader. They, are tnen spilled from a nopper on to an inclined plane, the per fect shot Tunning on a second plane, while the Imperfect drop through an opening between. The shot pass over four series of planes, and only the per fect reach the last plane. A larger size than BBB cannot be made by this process. The larger sizes, including shrapnel, are made by two different processes. In the me dium size a wire of the proper ma terial Is fed into a machine which mashes it into a ribbon shape and punches Irregular formed shot Tbe largest are made by pouring tbe metal into long bullet molds, which, in cool ing, form Irregular shot Tbe various sizes are then placed, each, by Itself, In gins, which are revolved for six hours, when the shot come out perfect ly smooth spheres. Boston Globe. Quaker Cemetery In Prospect Park. There is a Quaker cemetery in Prospect park west, Brooklyn. The cemetery is much older than tbe park, and when the park was organ ized it was done. with the understand ing that the Friends' bury ground was not to be disturbed.
