It tuny be remembered that a short time ago some valuable admiralty I>lans disappeared from Chatham, says London Tit-Hits. Mr McKenna, the first lord of the admiralty, admitted that they had been stolen, but a mys tery surrounded their disappearance. It Is now suggested that a well-known international woman spy, who is ever ready to sell her services to the high est bidder, be it the Russian, German or French government, was responsi ble for the disappearance of those plans, it Is known that she was in tills country for some weeks prior to the Incident and it is supposed that during that time site engineered the plot which resulted in the vanishing of the important papers. Whatever truth there may bo In the story it is a very feasible one, for it is usually women who prove the most successful spies. “When it comes to trickery and cunning," said a well known detective to the writer on one occasion, "there is no match for a clever woman. If she is pretty into the bargain, I would back her to beat the cleverest men at Scotland yard nine times out of ten.” And, judging from the success of women in secret service work, it would seem that (lie tribute is in no wav exaggerated. it is only a short time ago that a beautiful and fashionably dressed teacher of languages, Frauleln Peter son, about 25 years of age. was arrest ed at Kiel, in Germany, on suspicion of being a French spy. She was said to have entered into a love affair de liberately with a noncommissioned officer named Dietrich, of the explo sives department, for 1 lie* purpose of inducing him to divulge important German naval secrets. Dietrich, flattered by the attention of such a beautiful woman, could deny her nothing, and at the time of the arrest was said to have been supplying her with the formula for the manu facture of the German smokeless pow der (one of the most effective yet invented) and the situation of the port mines.. To disguise her true oc cupation she posed as a teacher of languages Suspicion was directed against her on account of Hie ample funds with which she was always pro vided and of her fear of giving tlie po lice the customary notice of her fre quent changes of address. A Comic Tragedy. The people on Broadway, New York, were startled one night recently by hearing the screams of a child coming apparently from a dress-suit case which a dark, smooth-shaven man was carrying uptown. So piercing were the cries that the man was watched with increasing suspicion, and in time a crowd surrounded him and insisted on his opening the bag. He kept ills lips tight shut, and continued to walk tip Broadway, clinging to his dress suit case, from which the screams apparently continued to come. Event ually a constable put him tinder ar rest, and hurriedly opened the bag. He expected to find a baby doubled up in it, but instead lie found a grin ning stone image called a manikin. The prisoner proved to be a ventrilo quist engaged in a Broadway concert hall, who had adopted this unique method of cheap advertisement. Prank Had Tragic Ending. An extraordinary affair Is reported from I.n Amora. Eighty tierce Spanish bulls were penned in the station await ing to he conveyed id various parts of the country for hull-lighting purposes. A party of carnival revelers bent on mischievous fun threw some explosives among the animals, causing them to stampede The infuriated beasts broke down the frail wooden fence and bolt ed out of the station, making for the town, about a mile distant. The towns folk heard the trampling of the ap proaching herd, and as many as could made for shelter. The beasts rushed through the town like a whirlwind, knocking down and killing three per sons, and more or less seriously in juring 18 others. A force of the civil guard was sent out to scour the coun try with orders lo shoot the hulls on sight. Fogs Made to Order. Among the means of protecting fruit trees against frost practiced in Cali fornia is the production of fog by a generator in the form of a wagon The wagon carries a sheetiron tank, the upper part of which is filled with wet straw or similar material, kept moist by the automatic injection of water from a ( ask, while near the bottom is a grate upon which tar is burned, a blast, operated by a revolving fan, serving to maintain the combustion. All the heat is compelled to pass through the wet straw before react ing the air and in consequence the wagon is burled in a dens* fog, and as it passes between the rows of low trees it envelopes them in a mist so thick that the driver is frequently comp pelled to lead the horses. May Demolish Heligoland. A strange proposal has been made in Germany with i yard to the island of Heligoland, which, despite vast ex penditure, still continues to crumble away. The proposal is—unless some scheme of preserving it can be found —to blow up the entire island Ap parently the idea is, in the event of war, Heligoland would need to be very strongly defended, lest it should be seized and used as an advance base of operations against Germany. The trouble does not lie with the risk of its being seized so much as with the trtain of having to defend ft SUGAR A NEED OF THE BODY Requisite Food for Both Children and Adults. According to Eminent Authority. ‘‘Give children plenty or pure sugar, taffy and butter scotch and they'll have little need of cod liver oil," says Dr. Woods Hutchinson. "In short, sugar is. nflei meat, bread and but ter easily our next most important and necessary food -You can put (ills matter to a test very easily. Just leave off the pie. pudding and other desserts at your lunch or midday dinner. You'll be astonished to find out how quickly you’ll feel 'empty' again, and how 'unfinished' the meal will seem. You can't get nnv workman to accept a dinner pail without pie in it. And he's absolutely right. The only tiling that can take the place of sugar is beer or wine It is a significant fact that the free lunch counters run in connection with lays furnish every imaginable tiling except sweets ICven the restaurants and the lunch grills attached to saloons or liars often re fuse to serve desserts of any sort. They know their business. The more sugar and sweets a man takes at a meal, the less alcohol he wants. Con versely nearly every drinking man will tell you he has lost his taste for sweets. The more candy a nation consumes, tile less alcohol." CHARACTER IN FINGER NAILS Information That Will Be Taken by the Wise for Just What It Is Worth. It is said there is ns much char acter to be observed from a person's huger nails as from the owner’s face. The following indications are stated to be fairly correct. Those possessing long nails are good lint m od and self-confident, but placing very littlo confidence in others Broad nails arc supposed lo belong to those of a gentle and bashful dispo sition. Little round nails are the sign of a person who is seldom pleased, readily inclined to anger, spiteful and revengeful. Anyone with fleshy nails is said to lie calm and ease-loving, fond of eating and sleep ing and who would prefer a small in come without industry to much wealth to he acquired by activity and dili gence. Bale or lead-colored nails be long to the melancholy person, but who would do well in all branches of science or philosophy. The long, well shaped filbert nail Indicates n refined and artistic nature, fondness of so ciety, and a great love of the beauti ful. Disposition of the Confetti. High and low be searched for the bag of confetti he had brought home on tlie previous evening for his son and heir, but bis efforts were not re warded with success. Where on earth had lie put it? What had become of it? Witli every minute he became more irate, till finally lie rang for Bridget. "Bridget,” lie exclaimed test ily, “did you see that bag of confetti I brought, home last night for Freddie?” “Sure, an' Oi did, sorr!" brogued out Bridget. "But Oi didn't know it was only for Mhaster Fred. There’s but half av it left now.” “Only half of it left?” lie cried. "What on earth have you done with the rest?" “Cooked it, av coorse.” retorted Bridget; "an’ it’s for yer own breakfast, with cream, ye had it tliis mornin'!” 1 | Sleep and the Brain. When the brain is at work marshal ing ideas, producing mental pictures, and calling into action stored-up mem ories and impressions, the cells of its mysteriously potent gray matter un dergo a change of form. Cavities are formed in them, which, ns the brain becomes wearied by long-continued ac tion, fill with a watery fluid. Bart of the substance of the cells appears to have been consumed in (he process of thinking, but In the hours of sleep iho exhausted cells regain their original form, the supply of recuperative ma terial coming from the blood and on awakening, the mind tiuds its instru ment restored and prepared again for action. Not AH Rot. "One tiling I le arned from art, any how,” said the painter who had gone into the dry goods business. "One tiling I learned, and at many a dinner party it lias stood me in good stead. “I'm absent-niirided, you know, and at dinner parties I find, as like as not, when 1 take up oyster fork or spoon that my hands are dirty- I'd forgot to wash ’em! "But 1 cet out of this difficulty easily. 1 rub my lunch hooks clean and white with bread crumbs under the table Oh it ain’t all rot, art” i One cf His Worst. A receptacle < Ir.ing a dark red beverage— it may have been merely tea- was brought on the table. "I'll play I'm hostess,” said the* pre> fessor’s granddaughter, "and as I am a society lady, it is my duly to pour ” "Ye>s, let her do it,” said the pro fessor "She's not only a society lady but site's a society queen—and she never reigns but siie pours.” Otherwise the func tion was a gre*at success Quieting Him. Halefeller (wildly)—VVhat! Do you mean to tell me, woman, that it cost $39 to get that hat trimmed? Jump ing Jupiter! But that milliner's game is the limit. Mrs, Halefeller (sweetly) -Keally? Why.
