They were talking of the shrewdness of thieves and criminals when brought into the central charged with any offense, and In the course of the conversation Detective McKeogh spoke of Louis Fisher. "There was the toughest guy I ever had to handle," said he. "From a really good boy he developed into as vicious a criminal as I ever saw. Years ago, whore the Chi cago Opera house now stands, was the old Tivoli, and Fisher, Sr., once had the lease of the place In thot-e dajs beer gardens were fashionable, and there was always to be found a great crowd of pleasure seekers seated about the tables. Here it was that Louis was brought up, and as a matter of course he met many clever crooks who would visit the place for 'graft.' "When the boy was 15 years old he one day disappeared with two stylishly dressed fellows who had been hanging about the place for several weeks. On inquiry it was learned that the men were bkilled burglars and that they wanted the boy to climb over transoms. So well did ho succeed in his new duties that ho became noted as an ex port. His father was well to do, and though ho tried in every way to locate his boy he could not do it. "Things ran along after this fashion for four or five years, when suddenly I came face to face with Louis, now a man, on Clark street. I arrested him, knowing hhn to be a thief. Then I told the old man nnd he came over to tho station to see the boy. But it was useless. The young fel low refused to give up his life, and said in n sullen way to me: 'You can't prove any thing on me. I have not yet done any work in Chicago.' I took him into court, and there on his own confession he was given hours.' "Ho didn't leave the city, however, and I determined to hunt him up again, be cause I knew ho was a dangerous man to run at large. "Finally. In eeuipany with two other officers, wo located our man on Van Buren nnd Clark streets in a dingy room with several of his pals. "We waited for him to comedown, ready to pounco on him on Bight. A (cv hours later Louis and his chums showed up and we 'nailed' them. But we had a fight on our hands before we got them to the station. Then, going back to their den, we made the women we found there tell us whero the plunder of the rob bers was hidden. After threats and per suasion wo were finally shown over $1,000 worth of jowelry, clothing, cloth and truck, tho result of sneak work in residences. "When wo showed the stuff to the pris oner he suddenly became idiotic that is, ho appeared to. But my chiefs Capts. John Shea and Joe Kipley knew the fel low and they laughed at him. They tried to catch him in various ways, but could not. Once before in the cast ho had played the dodge so well that ho was sent to an iLsylum, from which ho soon after made his escape He was trying tho same thing hero in Chicago. Ho would bite his fingers until the wounds ran with blood, and ho would laugh hystericallyat the blood as it dripped to the floor. Ho refused to eat, And instead would throw himsolf on the floor and lick up tho dirt with much gusto. "But it failed to work, for his eastern experience had been investigated, and so clear a cn.se was mndo outagainst him that ho was sent to Joliet for ten years, many of the owners of the stolon property giving their evidence. Besides one of his pals i urned state's evidence, aud that settled lnni. "He then gave up his shamming, and threatened to kill both myself aud his pal If he over lived to got out of prison. And I guess ho'll try it, too, when he gets out. But ho played the crazy dodgo fine, and I have not tho slightest doubt if wo had not discovered his scheme when wo did he would have gone to Kankakuo and theuce to his liberty." Chicago Mail. Urn ins. For a long time it was supposed that tho relative weight of tho brain as compared with the body was greater in man than in uny of tho lower animals, but, alasl for poor human nature, it is now known that fcomo of the smaller South American mon keys have, proportionally, a larger share i)f brain than our noble solves. On the other hand, however, man carries more weight in his cranium than any other breathing creaturo except tho elephant nnd tho whale. As a rule the human brain increases in gravity specific gravity, of couie up to the 20th or 21st year, and after tho "age of discretion" till the -10th your usually re mains in statu quo. After 40 the organ in most CNfcOS begins to wilt. It continues to decrease in volume more rapidly as wo grow older, and in those who are unhappy enough to reach the seventh htge of "sec ond ohildishness and mere oblivion" there is nothing left of it worth mentioning. Asa proof that tho weight of the en cephalic mass determines to a considerable extent the amount of intellectual power it may be stated that when the former is less than thirty-two ounces forty-nine ounces for the male and forty-four for tho female brain arc tho average idiocy or partial imbecility invariably accompanies the defect. Tne heaviest brain on record is that of Cuvier, the great naturalist, which weighed wxty-four ounces. Xew York Ledger. rioatinp; Saw Mill.

The North American Indians see a gnaw ing animal in the orb of night. In the whole of eastern Asia the people see in the moon a rabbit or a hare. The Polynesian think that the spirits of the dead are nourished by the moon. The Siamese perceive in part of the moon a hare, and in another part a woman till ing the ground. On tie ancient monuments in Central America the moon appears as a jar or a shell whence a rabbit sbaped animal is springing.

She Slept n fVhole Night with a Rat Under Her unit Xevor Screamed. More than a score of years ago a party of Americans were traveling In Spain. There were eight of them four men and four women and one uight they found them selves in a llttlo h stelry containing one bed, in which the four women slopt, with the bare floor for the men, who found t!ie necessary room to lie down m by utilizuu the space under the bed for their feet. Just as the party were droppiug off iuto their first doze the youngest woman felt some thing soft nnd warm moving in the straw cf the tick beneath her. She awaited a moment to make sure, and then as it began a passage up one side of her body sho gave a jump that landed her cleur over by tho opposite wall, and got reudy to scream. "What is it?" came from tho doctor on the floor. "There is a rat or a snako In tho bed," she whispered excitedly. Tho doctor sat up. "Nonen-.e:" he said. "I tell you thero is. It is in the straw of the tick. And it crept up my lee" "Well," asked the doctor calmly, "sup pose there is an ninmal there. What uro you going to do about it?" "Do? Why I'm going to got tho girls out and open tho tick aud take the creat ure out. You don't suppose I'm going to sleep all night with a snake coiling around under me, do you?" "Now, see here," expostulated the doctor, "let's reason about this thing. It can't J jo a suake; it's probably a rat; and it's Insidu tho ticking and it can't get out. It enn't possibly harm you. And by and by tho warmth of your body will make it drowsy, and it .will curl down quletry and goto sleep. So much for tho rat. "Now, here we are eight of us tired out. Nobody knows about the rat but us two. Now, are you going to bo Beflsli enough to wnko these six people up, turn tho srirls otit of their bed they will scream, too, till they are black In tho face make us men take all the straw out of tho tick, Ind and kill tho animal and thon get all tho straw back iuto tho tick nearly n whole night's performance just because you have got hysterical over a harmless llttlo creature? "Now, be a sensible girl, get back Into bed and let me get to sleep again. When tho rat get3 to sleep you will, too. Just try it." If it is ever given to a man to bo elo quent it is when ho is pleading for his own comfort, nnd tho doctor was just a man after all. His persuasiveness won. Tno young woman crept timidly back, and lay with clinched fists nnd tightly shut eyes, while the little creature nestled uneasily about, and finally crept clce to her sldo under tho ticking and curled down to hleep. Sure enough the ("octor was right. And pretty soon sho did go to sleep, too, nnd only waked with the morning to tell tho other women of their fifth bedfellow, and how sho had saved them from an over whelming fright. And the girls quite turned her head with their ohal and ahs! And tho doctor said she was pretty sensible for a woman. And she sometimes tells the story even today. "But was it a rat after all?" tho listener Is sure to ask when she Ih done. And sho also likes to answer, "It Is iny chicfest glory In tho wholo affair that I left the Inn in an hour without speaking of the matter, and to this day I do not know whether I slept with e. rat, or a kitten, or a tuake."
