There visited New York recently la emissary from the state department whose mission was the investigation of what is diplomatically termed a leak. The dispatches received by the government are, as is well known, sent in cipher. This cipher is guarded with a secrecy meant to be awful, but it was suspected that some unauthor ized person had obtained a clew to it. This suspicion was sufficient to start a rigid investigation, and the trail led to New York. All facts bearing on these matters are carefully hidden, and the upshot of the New York visit or's trip was that there did exist a suspicion, but no certainty. When he got back to Washington there was a change in one of the codes. So quietly was the business managed that not a soul in the state department, with three exceptions, knew what was afoot. This incident illustrates how wary the department is with the codes. One of them is styled the “sphynx” — it is so guarded. The slightest reason to believe that a code clerk may be responsible for a leak results in his suspension. However, our government has been far more successful than some foreign ones in protecting its ciphers. The “sphinx" was devised by a New Yorker now in the state department, and is as sus ceptible to changes as the combina tion lock of a safe. Hundreds of mes sages have been sent in it, and it has never leaked. Those intrusted with the mysteries of it must be absolutely above suspicion; yet even should there be a leak, the alteration of a key let ter would destroy every clew to an outsider. LONDON SNOW. How the Streets Are Cleared at the Traffic-Impeding Downfall. After a heavy snow-storm during the night the London man comes to his place of business and finds that in the principal thoroughfares nearly all traces of the snow have disap peared. The preparations for the coming winter are begun early in the antnmn. For the extra labor required reliance has to be placed on the “un employed.” Work is found each win ter for some 3,000 or 3,000 men out of employment. Snow first made its appearance last winter in London late on Tues day night and it continued to fall until 6 o'clock on Wednes day morning. Some 200 ' extra men were taken on and by 10 or 11 o’clock the city streets were cleared, the snow being carted away, and, for the most part, shot over the bridges into the Thames. There was a heavier fall on Wednesday night, beginning about 6 o’clock and continuing with more or less severity throughout the night. Hen were at work all night salting and clearing the streets for traffic, while early on Thursday morn ing some 300 “unemployed” men were engaged to help in the work of clear ance. On Thursday night and on Fri day between 500 and 600 more men were engaged. The extra men are paid at the rate of 6d an hour, and although several consecutive hours’ work could aften be found for large numbers of them, it is found that in many instances they desire to “knock off” ofter an hour or two’s labor. This they are allowed to do, and they are paid according to the time which they have worked. THE VINEGAR HABIT. Bow a ‘Woman Slowly Poisoned Herself to Death. ‘I once had a patient,” said Law rence Newcomb of Bochester, N. Y., j who formerly practiced as a physi cian, but who is now an angel of com merce, “who poisoned herself with vinegar. I was never a burning or shining light in the medical profes sion, and hence it is not surprising that the case baffled my investigation for a yeqr, though I have the consola tion of knowing that four eminent physicians who were called in for con sultation attributed the lady’s evident breaking-up to four different causes, none of them remotely connected with the real one. The chief symptom was lassitude and deathly whiteness, and the lady, who had no other companion but an ignorant, though faithful, colored attendant, finally died before reaching her thirtieth year. Subse quent investigation proved that she was a vinegar fiend, and that, while refusing food of all description, she was drinking large quantities of vine gar. As the habit grew upon her, she secured stronger grades, until finally she was drinking acetic acid but very slightly diluted. There are cases on record of persons who have been poisoned by overdoses of vinegar, taken to improve the complexion, but this is the only case I ever heard of any one acquiring the vinegar habit and pursuing it steadily until it caused death. Legal Coming of Age. A man is legally of age the day before he completes his 21st year, and even if he were born on the last moment of the first day of January and executed a deed on the first moment of the last day of Dece mber, the day before his 21st birthday, it would be legal. The reason is that the law does not recognize parts of a day, and on the last day of his 21st year the legal age is supposed to be attained, though in fact he may not really be 21 until forty-eight hours later. _ Jap. Going In for Watchmaking, The enterprising Japs, ever on the lookout for the chance of turning a few honest pennies, have just gone in for watchmaking. A large company, with headquarters at Yokohama, has been started, and as labor in Japan is cheap, and the Japanese possess in a remarkable degree the mechanical skill which is so essential in the busi ness, its prospects ought to be good. MILK WORTH 7B CENTS A PINT. ■TtinAN for Con.aptln Adalta Hi Delicate CkUina Id an Important thoroughfare la the West End, London, is the only dairy in and about the city where asses’ milk can be procured. This | fluid, as is well known, is a valuable remedy in certain complaints, but only the rich can indulge in it freely, | for it costs seventy-five cents a pint, | The reason for this, as a I.ondon re | porter found on visiting the milking : stables, is its slow production. In I the stud of milch asses nine animals were counted and though they are milked four times a day, each animal yields barely two pints through the twenty-four houra The milk is very thin and slightly sweet, with quite the flavor of cocoanut milk. Con sumptive persons and delicate infanta are its chief consumers; it is both nourishing and very easily digested. A feature of its therapeutic use is that when prescribed for adults it has to be done in an underhand way. as a natural repugnance exists with most persons against its use. It is told that one fashionable London woman suffered an actual relapse when told what -medicine” she had | been drinking in ignorance. -The winter is our busy season,” the manager of the stables is quoted as saying, “especially during the foggy weather, but unfortunately it is extremely difficult to obtain the milk just then. Sold outright to a customer, any of the animals you see here would realize over $50, and would probably be milked by the pa tient’s own servants, who do not like the job in nine cases out of ten. many customers. However, prefer to hire an ass at a guinea a week and get all the milk they can; and I have sent several as far as Colchester, Brighton, Exeter and even Scotland, the customer paying all the ex penses. Persons put this costly fluid to curious uses. One lady had two quarts a day regularly for nearly six years, and we could never find out what she wanted it for until af ter she went to America, when it transpired that the milk was used as a face wash. _ We also have a mili tary gentleman on our books who or ders a pint every morning, and this appears on his breakfast table for ordinary use; while aoertain famous dandy has been known to instruct his valet to mix the milk with black ing, so as to impart a more than us ually brilliant gloss to his shoes. ••About 6 o’clock one evening last winter an elegant carriage and pair drove up to the door and presently two stylishly dressed young men en tered the shop and called for a couple of glasses of asses’ milk, for which they paid seventy-five cents. “Both were obviously under the influence of other and more potent liquor, and when about to depart one of them turned to me, saying: ‘Can we see the asses?’ “ ‘Certainly, gentlemen,’ I replied, ‘go through that doorway and turn to the left and you will meet the stableman, who will be pleased to show you round.’ “Now, it so happened that the mo- | ment the first door was opened the ' swells were confronted with tne spec tacle of their own unsteady figures reflected in a full-length mirror on the wall, and thinking that this was a premeditated insult both rushed back in a furious rage and smashed every article of china and glass they could lay their hands upon. With the aid of the police, however, I was at length enabled to pacify the hilar ious and wrathful couple and agreed to accept $50 for the damage done.” Doing His Whole Doty. Just after the suppression of the “missing word” competitions in Eng land some months ago, a “Salvation Army man" gathered in a London street an audience of two or three girls and boys. To them he addressed the message of salvation, inviting the juveniles to “come and be washed,” etc., and at the end of his exordium, he blossomed forth em phatically, emphasizing each para graph with one fist in the other palm. “He spake the word, and Peter spoke it” (pause). “And Paul spoke it” (pausel. “Have you read the word?” (pause). “Do you know the word?" (long pause). And then came the inevitable policeman, who, ungently pushing the preacher on the shoulder, said gruffly: “You get away, young man; you know it ain’t right. We can’t have no ‘Missin’ Word Compe titions’ ’ere. You know they’re il legal, so just stow it ”—Argonaut. Tm In Germany. Tea, the beverage of the higher classes in Germany, though more consumed in the North, is rapidly winning favor with the middle classes in the South. Everywhere the tea table is growing popular, and Germany will probably at no distant period become a large consumer of tea. Not Below Bangor. At a prayer meeting in Northern Maine a simple-looking fellow arose and said: “I would like you to pray for my brother. He went away two weeks ago dnd we haven’t heard from him since. 1 don’t know just where he is, but you needn’t pray down below Bangor.” A New Accessory.
