THE STORE DETECTIVE.
At Times He Makes It Unpleasant
For Others Than Thlsres.
A young woinnn who slngn lu a church
cliolr In this city v,a In ono of tho tlo
pnrttnunt stores the other ilny when
tln detective employed thcro stopped
bcitfJo her and, pointing to a woman
with a long enpo nnrt a bag nt an ad
joining counter, snld:
"Just watch thnt woman work."
The singer saw tho woman take two
nrtlclcs from the counter when Uio
shopgirl wns not looking and drop
them Into her bag.
"Why, she Is stealing," sho said.
"Yes," said tho detective, "and tf! you
will follow her to tho next counter with
me you will sec her take more things."
The singer wns Interested, and she
wnlltod nloug with tho detective. Two
more articles were dropped In tho bag,
and then the detectlvo arrested tbo
shoplifter. She mndc tho usual scene
and protested her Innocence. The do
tectlvc asked the singer If she would
step back to tho oQlce with blm and
corroborate his charges, and sbo went,
unconscious pf further trouble. There
wns no doubt ns to tho shoplifter's
guilt. She cnino of a respcctablo fam
ily, and she convinced tho singer that
she took the articles not because she
needed them or tho money that they
would bring, but been ubo sho had tho
shoplifting hnblt
When these facts wcro settled, the
detective thanked the singer for her as-
Jlstancc nnd told her that sho must bo
n the pollco court nt I) o'clock on tho
following morning an n witness. It
was the singer's turn to make a scene.
She protested against being dragged
Into a police court nlul said that such
notoriety would seriously Injure her lu
her work. Tho detective Insisted, and
hntl the charge agulnst the shoplifter
not been withdrawn beforo tho case
ronched the court tho singer would
have been ono of the wltuesscH. Sbo
denounced the detective and tbo store
which employed hi in for Imposing on
Hh patrons In that fnshlon, and she Is
going to tnaho It her bUBlnoss hereafter
to keep out of the way of storo detect
Iven. Hod the singer been forced to go
to court her punishment In the conse
quent notoriety would have been nl
mojit as hard as that Inflicted on the

MOUNTAIN AIR.
Why It Is Mora Ilenlilifal Tlmn Thnt
of Lower Altitude.
The only reason why mountain air.
Is healthier than low ntr Is thnt moun
tain nlr Is cleaner than low nlr. Tho
chemical composition of the atmos
phere differs but little, If nt nil, wher
ever the satnplo bo taken. On Pike's
peak tho relntlou of oxygen to nitro
gen and other constituents of the at
mosphere Is tho same ns nt the level
of tbu ocean. Tho favorable effects
therefore of a change of nlr are' not to
bo explained by any difference In the
proportion of Its gnscous constituents.
One Important difference, however, Is
the bacteriological one. The nlr of
high altitudes contains, no microbes
and Is, In fact, sterile, while near tho
ground' nnd omo 100 'feet nbevo 't
microbes nro nbundnntr "
In tho ntr or Chicago and other
crowded places not only docs tho mi
crobe Impurity Increase, but other Im
purities, such ns tho products of com
bustion of coal, accrue also. Several
Investigators have found, traces of hy
drogen nnd certain hydrocarbons lu
tho alr,.and especially In tho air pf pine,
oak and birch forests. It Is to thoso
bodies, doubtless consisting of traces
of essential oils, to which tho curntlvo
effectB of certain health resorts nro
ascribed. Thus tho locality of n flr
forest Is snld to glvo relief lu diseases
of tho respiratory tract. Hut nil tho
Bainc, thoso traces of essential oils and
aromatic products must bu counted,
Btrlctly speaking, as Impurities, slnco
they aro not apparently necessary con
stituents of the nlr. As recent uiiuly-
scs have shown, theso bodlcB tend to
disappear In tho nlr as n higher alti
tude Is reached until they dtsappca?
