WITHOUT PROOF,
Plans a Crime.
A well-known detective told a good story, the truth of which he vouches for.
“One day,” he said, “a lady came into my office, evidently in deep trouble,
***You are a detective ?”
*** Ves, madame.’
“*Well, I want your services ina delicate matter,’ she said, her voice sinking to a whisper, as she glanced nervously about to see that no one was present that could hear the conversation.
***My hnusban§,” she continued when satisfied no other visitors were in the room, ‘hasa suicidal mania. He ap- pears to bein perfect health, eats well, sleeps well, has no cares or troubles that I know of and yetI have to watch him carefully in order to keep him from committing suicide. His mania, for, of course. I know it is that with him, is so subtle that no one would suspect it for aninstant. But e has laudanum secreted around the house. I have found several vials of it, and fear that there is more that I have not been able to discover.’
“The case was a most interesting one, and I agreed to visit the house in | the guise of an invited relative of the wife and study the affair. I was greeted most cordially by the husband and within twenty-four hours admired | him greatly. A lighter-hearted, mer- | Three ! nights later I was awakened by the screams of the wife and hastily arising and dressing, ran down stairs, meeting her in the hallway, holding an empty bottle labeled ‘laudanum.’ I rushed to the man’s bedside, but too late. He was not yet dead, but never recovered consciousness, Tbe seeming grief of the widow was heart-rending, but I caught a gleam in her eyes that con- vinced me she had poisoned her hus- band, and her ruse in having me in the house had been as bold as it was successful. for not a word of ‘evidence could I have produced that she had plotted the murder of her husband. Two months later she was married again and went to Europe.”—Wash- ington Star.
Papyrus and Paper.
There is no evidence that papyrus was grown for commercial purposes outside of Egypt during the whole Roman period, and the industry of its growth and manufacture must have been a large and profitable one. In the time of Tiberius a sedition was nearly caused by a scarcity of paper, and a rebellious papermaker, ia the days of Aurelian, boasted that he could equip an army from the profits of his business—and did it, too, |
Parchment was invented by the Greeks when papyrus was scarce, and the middle ages re-invented it. There is evidence that linen‘rags were used in papermaking asearly as the eighth and ninth centuries. In paper of that period the fiber was chiefly linen, with traces of cotton, hemp and other fibers. The known specimens are of oriental origin, and appear to have been clayed, like modern papers, the material used | being a starch paste manufactured | from wheat. The oldest manuscript | written on cotton paperin England is in the British museum, and dates from 1049 A.D., and the oldest on the same | material in the Paris National Library is dated 1050. In 1085 the Christian ! successors of the Spanish Saracens | made paper of rags instead of raw cot- ton which had been formerly employed. —All The Year Round.
One of the Colonel's Ways.
I w¥s standing in the lobby at one of the hotels the other night when the bell on the indicator began to ring violently, and one of the small arrows jumped around to 146. The clerk step- ped to the box, turned the crank to straighten the arrow, and proceeded with his work again. Again the bell rang and again the arrow pointed to the same number. The clerk turned the crank again and registered a guest. Then the bell rang again, and the arrow pointed to that same number a third time, and the clerk went through the same operation. ‘This continued about half an hour, when my curiosity was aroused, and I enquired the rea- son of the continuous ringing from the gentleman behind the desk, who was busy at the crank.
“Oh, that’s just Col. ——~— on a drunk again,” he said, ‘‘and he’s ring-
ing for divinks, but we let him enjoy himself pressing the button till he be- comes tired, and then he rolls into

On the files of the Post-office Depart- ment there is a letter from a man named Hill testifying to the ability, industry and good character of a Mrs, | Brown, who turns out to be his own mother, and stating that her appoint- ment to a clerkship would be a great gratification to a large circle of influen- tial political friends. He writes that she belongs to an excellent family, and occupies a high social position; that he has known her intimately for several years, is familiar with her qualifications and can recommend her without reserve. It was only by acci- dent that the relationship was dis- covered, as the writer was the son of her first husband, and after whose death she married again.—Chicago Record.

CALIFORNIA ORANGES.
The Harvest Has Just Begun—By 1900 itis Believed the Crop WII be 5,000,- 000 Boxes a Year.
The orange harvest in Southern Cali- fornia has begun, and when it is at its
' height on average week days from 17,-
000 to 20,000 boxes of the golden fruit go eastward over the transcontinental railroads from this region. On some days the shipments amount to as many as 60,000 boxes. Thousands of men and boys are putting in every possible hour of labor in picking and packing oranges and then in shipping them to the Eastern markets.. In Southern California March and April are always the livliest, busiest months in the year.
The dreadful freeze of the Florida orange and lemon crops has made last season in citrus fruits in this region the most profitable since 1888. Every per- son who owns or has an interest in any sort of an orange grove in Southern California is the personification of hap- piness nowadays. The present yield bids fair to be one of the best in several years in point of quantity and quality —that is, juiciness, fulness, smooth- ness of rind and cleanliness,
The business of growing oranges in this part of the Golden State is about 23 years old. About a dozen orange trees were planted by the monks about the historic old Franciscan Missio n, at San Gabriel, in 1820, and their vigor and fecundity after 50 years attracted the attention of the citizens in the slow, adobe pueblo of Los Angeles of the 70’s, and for some ten yearsthere were sev- eral large orange groves in what is now the heart of the city of Los An- geles. They were sources of immense profit to their owners, but in those days there were no railroadsin Los Angeles and through Southern California, and the market for oranges was limited to San Francisco, which was reached by vessels up the coast from San Pedro. When the Southern Pacific came down across the Tehachepi Mountains into this region and went on to New Or- Jeans, the agricultural interests of Southern California had a boom, and about 2,000 acres of oranges were planted in Riverside, Pasadena and Santa Barbara. When the Santa Fe built into this region in 1883 and gave the Golden State its first competing railroad, there was a boom in real estate, and especialiy in orange and lemon growing, that has never been equaled in any land.
Very few people realize the capital that is invested in the orange industry in Southern California. Recently the assessors and horticultural inspectors spent several weeks in gathering sta- tistics concerning the business. It ig found that $44,300,000 represents the value of the land, trees, irrigation, dams, pipe lines, ditches, anti-frost de- vices, tools, implements and packing houses devoted to orange growing in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, River- side, Orange and San Diego counties alone.
At anaverage price of $1.60 per box for oranges on the trees in this region, it isseenthatthe whole crop is worth to the growers about $2,500,000. Sey- eral thousand acres of young orange groves will come into bearing in three or four years more, and it is believed that by the year 1900 the total annual orange yield of Southern California will be at least 5,000,000 boxes,—Los Angeles (Cal.) corr. Phila. Times,
A clever mother has hit upon a new plan for keeping her children well and dispensing with the doctor’s services. At the beginning of the winter she gave them a talk on keeping well, called their attention to the many ways in which colds are caught, serious indigestion brought on, etc. Then she offered to each child in the family a prize for keeping well all winter, and thus far has found her idea to work like acharm. As doctor’s billsin a family of five children are frequently no trifle, the prizes will probably be worth winning, but the greatest result will be that in all probability the children will grow in love with health and learn self-contrel.~New York Post,

iliac Sacred Books ¥f Gre Buddhists.
The original series, two in number, of “The Sacred Books of the East,” edited by Prof. Max Muller, are now complete. But, thanks to the munifi- cence of the King of Siam, and to his desire that the true teaching of the Buddha should become more widely known in Europe, arrangements have been made for the issue under the same competent editorship of a further serieg specially devoted to the ‘‘Sacred Books of the Buddhists,” which wijl be “translated by various oriental schol- ars” and “‘published under the patron- age of his Majesty Chulalankarana.” Of this series the first volume lately issued contains what is known as “The! Gatakamala, or Garland of Birth! Stories, by Arya Sura,” translated from the Sanskrit by Prof. J. H. Speyer. To students of the history of religion this translation will prove of singular value and importance; but it is also full of interest for the philologer and the anthropologist. The Gataka, or birth stories, were stories supposed to be told by Buddha of his former ex- istences and generally meant to incul- cate some moral lesson. The popularity of these tales in India is attested by the fact that in the seventh century A. D, a Chinese Buddhist traveler, I-tsing by name, saw some of them performed on the stage, with music and dancing, at the court of a Buddhist Rajah of Suma- tra. Astotheir age itis certain that one of the stories, that of the ass in the lion's skin was known to Plato,and another, that of the tortoise cartied by two birds, to sop; but the fact will perhaps be differently interpreted by scholars of different schools, Whether the Greeks borrowed some of their fables directly from India before Plato's time, or whether fabies indigenous to Greece found their way through Asia Minor te Persia and India, or whether fables common to Indiaand Greece were the common property of the Aryan people before their dispersion are questions far more easily asked than answered.— London Times.
