Than* by w t been takm treasury by • eight ch'totooli.' • ing the vaults of the treasury wa* '•&» --\• time Martin Broadfoot had bis .]*g*3$t>- about perfected. This was back lis «#/.'__' eighties, and the plan was ta gat ^J^» \ the building by means .of Si* $£$££;.' sewer which runs under and w^afH^f\-•- treasury and Is known asjthe FnJteehtliv, street sewer and which ;grow* larger/;. as it enters the Potomacf about th&ef- quarters of a mile from the White £ House.

I passes the treasury. Jc\ man could .*. easily make his way up the Sew***-\ ~ through a stream of water which Tin- der normal conditions Is only about . twelve inehes deep. By entering iha> tnnnel or sewer at the river the iotavs-- ney to the treasnry could be madefy, , keeping a sharp lookoutl When the ,. man or men In the sewerf reached the Fifteenth street sewer nothing would ; separate them from the gild coin and •-; -, bullion except abont eighteen, feetof • earth and not too secure, stone \wall; It was Broadfoofs scheme to dlarhls way through this obstnuition am |i *• let the earth float or wasp down- the sewer. It would not have taken one man more than two weelfca. Wc*k$&g. , only at night, to have made an opening large enough for a mall to crawl through. Of course Broafdfoot tawr the exact location of the | vault*, and •.. when he once reached thejxt be would have bad no trouble in getting the gold coin and bullion. It was evidently hS; \ >- purpose to fill the rubber bag* wtOf- '\*< the precious staff and float them down \ the sewer to * the river, prnere they -• would be looked after byf his confed- erates. This was the onlyJ reaHtf well laid plot ever made to k*?* the treas- ury, and just why Broadfoot was never given a trial bas jnever been known to the public He ^ras aa Intel- ligent man, and suspiclofl was firs* aroused against him by his frequent visits to the money rooihf and vaults and by the questions be asked watch- men and messengers as to the hours of duty, when the time locks closed and what time they opened, and jail such questions. That he could have successfully carried out his plans so far as getting Into the building and the vaults are concerned there is no question, for men have been in the sewer and conduits who ,say that It would have been easy work. The most difficult part of the Job |would have been in getting away with the money and bullion, for It would have required hard work to secure it and get away. About the only chance would have been to bury it somewhere In Virginia, for If it had been placed on boats it would have been easy to recover it It Is the opinion of the secret service men that many celebrated cracksmen have from time to time, contemplated the conversion of a few minion treas- ury notes to their own use, but after careful study they have decided that the undertaking was too colossal la character. Secretary Folger when he assumed his duties was not slow in deciding that the treasury was not properly and safely guarded. There was not an electric alarm In the build- ing, the watchmen were Isolated and had no faculties for caffing help, and the safes were of the old time lock and key sort, scattered almost an over fit* big building. The secretary went to work to bring about a proper condition of affairs. He bad the watch system completely changed and reorganised, putting them under the strictest disci- pline. Elaborate and extensive alarm systems were metalled The old safes were replaced by modern steel affairs with time locks and intricate combina- tions The gold and silver vaults were fitted wltb steel casings and time locks, different parts of the combina- tions being distributed among various officials, so that the vaults could be r>pen<»d only with the concerted action of all of them, and theft only at the stroke of the hour for which the tim* loots bad been set But without a per- fect system of watchmen to guard the safes the treasury could 'be easily rob- bed, for the most perfect, safe eve* made Is notsproof against the profes- sionals. ' ' The watch force of the treasury Is perfectly organised, and' the least h> fraction of rules means i layoff or dis- -barge. The men seenr^o realize the heavy responsibilities {resting upon them, and they are carefjal almost to a fault The watch is divfted into time reliefs, the tour of duty lasting for eight hours. However, tie watch does oot anticipate ah attack by robbers, bii.t they are prepared for, any emergen- cy, and they will not be caught nap- ping should one ever be made either at otgbt or.by day: Each watchman ta *- • nary diamond weighing about ten Lrats can sfuenLn} tie spUt in fifteen Ujutes. 5 be object Id to divide th9 iig.i. uncut diamond confining flaws •o several ^uru, daw.tsss btoncs, and onier to >!•» Lhu> strong pressure is Lerted on the weak spots caused by iw s ly u.caus *.;' a iLainoad tipped o.. which Is he.ii in the right bdnJ Is an o*J ar.>i vici; recognized i'riu- jie that '-oih.ni' but a dlauioad w::' it a J.arao u J.\ la the left ba^i Is ;id a curlju>:y siape-i V'^i'.e fraxe to whkti the roujrb. diamond now to » s;l:: has beeQ Crmly fixed.

Juggernaut is perhaps the most fa- mous name among all the Hindoo idol?, inasmuch as his fame has gone forth into every land. His temple is situat- ed on the sandy shores of Orlssa, wash- ed by the wild wave* of the bay of Bengal. The worship o£ juggernaut date* back nearly 2,000 -years, and Orlssa has been the holy land of the Hindoos from that time till the. present day. Sir William Hunter, who was one of the greatest authorities on things Bast Indian, says in a wonderfully graphic description of tha temple of Jugger- naut: \On the- inhospitable sands of Pari, a place (of swamp*ifnd Inunda- tions, the Hindoo religion and Hindoo •uperatltution nave stood at bay for eighteen* centuries against the world.

Miss Betty Wrote her brother Will that they would arrive home oa a cer- tain date, and the,date was put far enough ahead to'euabie the two camp- ers to get the dishes Washed up and their fish poles removed from the par- lor. But what is the use of writing letters to a brother' who doesn't go to the postoffice for mail? The letter ar- rived all .right, hut was sot called for. Then; oa the afternoon or the even- ing on which the 4 family were to ar- rive home, Will had to go op to Brook- lyn on pressing business. It was mid- night before the young lady gave an answer to his pressing question, and it was two hours later before' he try station half a mile from home, Archer was left. to fish the time away, cook his own dinner aad go to bed at any hour that suited his con- venience. That* hour was fi o'clock, and he bad sixty minutes to get to sleep when the family arrived. No Will appeared at the depot to meet them, hat fortunately they found a conveyance, and fortunately Miss Betty had carried, her latchkey away With her aad could now make use of It As the hour was late no time was wasted looking around—Just enough' to be satisfied that brother Will wasn't in his \bed and that It would take two robust women two weeks to pat the house la its former tidy shape. The arrivals bad been abed for two hours When Archer woke up. He was dream- ing that he had hobked a fish five feet long and' was playing It, when he found himself sitting up in bed with his eyes wide open. ,. He ielt that some flo'lse had dlstorl him. There had been a great deal of the \Baffles\ business in the country. The chum* had talked the matter over and decided what was to be done in case he Invaded the house under their guardianship. They were armed, and they were to do their best to kill or capture him. One chum and one revolver being,ab- sent on this occasion made a differ- ence, bat nevertheless the chum on the spot prepared to die for his host. Getting sof tiy ont,pf bed and partly dressing, he soon assured himself that WOl had not yet returned. Just then he distinctly heard a noise In the lower part of the house—the fall of some- thing, i • Baffles had effected an entrance and blundered over a chair.

He had missed It, hot might be expected at any min- ute* now. The first thought was to go outdoors add wilt for him. The sec- ond wis to 1 torn oat the lamp and alt down in the library and wait for Will or daylight or something or somebody to com* along aad befriend him. This second decision was final. He stood lh tit* hall, turned the light out, and somehow he felt that eyes were upon his movements. .Ensconced ta a big leather chair, he had passed away half* an hour la caning himself names and hankering after his chum's scalp when he heard a, faint rustle outside the window near which he sat He cooked his ear toward It,\ and a moment later he.knew that some one ontslde had his' hands on the sash. Sixty seconds had not gong past when the» catch was thrust oyer with a click, and the sash was carefully and slowly raised. Young Archer .was*excited, but he was game. It looked as if a kind Providence was sending a Raffles to help him out of his fix. He rose and stood' beside the window with his pis- tol in hand. He meanjt to shpot the Intruder if be stepped into the room, but a sudden thought made him change the weapon end for\ end. The report of the pistol would arouse the whole bouse and he had tacitly prom- ised tne girl upstairs to keep very quiet The man who had raised the sash waited thirty seconds and then -stepped over the sill to meet a blow that dropped him like a log. He had just fallen when Will Hardin opened the front door and entered. As he scratched a match to see his way upstairs he noticed the lamp on the hall tree and lighted It, and next In- stant his.sister Betty came running downstairs to gasp bat; \Oh WID, We had to come home— and you didn't meet us—and mother is very bad—and Raffles has been here and robbed the bouse—and\— \Rats!\ taterrupted the brother. \But It surely was Raffles. I called-! him Mr. Baffles, and he didn't deny his Identity. I gave him all oar jewelry, and then he came down for the plate. He acted real nice on mother's ac- count\ The library door stood partly open, and of course youhg Archer had heard all. Now was the dramatic moment, and he came forward and showed, him- self. As the girl uttered an exclama- tion and shrank back he said: '•Will, there has 1 been,a comedy Of errors, with something like a tragedy to end up with, if your sister Will go upstairs and you' will come in here, I think that all can be satisfactorily ex- plained.'* And all was, It was done In sec- tions and methodically.

K Is Mow Applied to th* Most Danger- ous Criminals With Whom the Offi- cers of the Law Have to Contend. Nitroglycerin In Safe Bursting. In the expressive Slang that per- meates police circles throughout the country, a \yegg\ is one of the dan- gerous criminal class. The question Is ofteu asked, \What is a yegg, aad how did fhe>expression Originate} An answer to the latter part of the query will lead to an eluci- dation of the first Some years ago, when the United States government was experimenting with high explosives, wishing to secure some death dealing and destructive shell that would cause more damage than any before manufactured, some one suggested that introglycerln be tried. Up to that time this most pow- erful of explosives had not been util- ized ta this Way. The government experts went to Work, and the results of their experi- ments were from time to time pub- lished broadcast through the commu- nity. At last they succeeded In mak- ing a shell in which nitroglycerin was the chief component part aad which made all former ones sink into insig- nificance. In a town ih the middle west at the time there lived a man named John Yegg. In MB earlier days he had beeb one of the most expert electricians as wen as all round experienced mechan- ics ta the country. Later, through drink and bad associates, he had descended to a life of crime, his principal art be- ing that of safe blowing. He was attracted by the published accounts of the experiments of the government authorities with nitro- glycerin. The thought struck him, Why could not this be used In blowing safes? The method at that time was to drill a hole in the safe to be wrecked, fill this with powder or dynamite and then touch the fuse. This method, however, required considerable time to pull off \a job\ and was noisy and dangerous. Yegg went to work on the nitro- glycerin method. He tried It, and it was a complete success. Furthermore, after he had per»nned job after job he had the police W the country baf- fled. They did not know .how the work was done. Yegg instructed others In the art, and soon from one end of the country to the other safes were being wrecked, but by what man- ner no one knew. Yegg's method was to take some of the explosive which he and those wi him called \soup\—and, by the way, this term Is still extent—and pour it in the crack of the safe near the hinges of the door. The small aperture was then covered with soap to hold the explosive in place. The fuse was applied, and with the explosion off went the doors, slick and clean. The entire job took but a few minutes. It remained for a young Pinkerton de- tective to solve the matter on a safe that was blown to Coldwater. Miclu, where a bank was wrecked and many thousands of dollars secured. The crime was traced to Yegg and dome of his companions, and they were found guilty and sent to prison. Thereafter those who employed the nitroglycerin instead of the older methods were called \yeggmen\ or \yeggs.\ This was the beginning of the term, but since that time the application of it has grown greatly. Today a \yegg viewed from whatever aspect. Is the most dangerous criminal with whom the police of the country have to, deal. Be is one who rides the country o'er on freight trains, working 1 through the south in the winter and migrating to more, exhilarating climes daring the summer. He will beg when he is hungry and will steal and commit murder when he sees an opportunity of benefiting himself. % Today there are thousands of \yeggs\ scattered throughout thecountry. Most of them belong to some certain band, eaeh one of which has a leader. He is the king: It is his duty to enlist recruits. To him also is shipped all the loot, and he in turn Converts it into money and places the amount to the credit of the member sending it In. For thia tfaej Mng receives a commis- sion. *\'.'' • ' Most of the \yegg\ gangs carry what Is known a s a \kitten\ with them. The *k}tten\ tea boy, young man or crip-, plev whose duty it Is' to visit houses and places of business, apparently beg- ging food or selling shoestrings, lead pencils, etc., and who- theft; reports to the gang \the lay of the land\ so that when the ttm* comes for pulling off the Job all are familiar with the prem- ises.

What lt« 8ize tnd 8h»pe Are Said t* indicate. A high forehead to be vary good should be well developed about the eyebrows. Breadth of forehead is always favoa* able. It is distinctly connected witsj breadth of character. A forehead that curves back reveals a poetic temperament, a fondness faa the arts and a talent for either musi* or painting. Of course a broad forehead may be part of a weak face, and a week chin and mouth will naturally give a trues impression of character than even a combination of a narrow forehetd with an otherwise strong face If there is quite a perceptible bulge of the eyebrows, combined with a blgb forehead, the sign is of a calm, cod, deliberate thinker. If with these eyebrows Is combined a forehead that slopes gradually back, a sensitive, poetic temperament is dis- closed. If, again, they are combined with a short, narrow forehead, the subject will be tmc-cessful to business and in everything connected witB worldly matters, hut he will be 'a- capable of appreciating to any extent or of creating anything connected witB the arts.—New York Americas. SAW IT IN A DREAM. A Lost Check and the Peculiar Way H Was Found. A wealthy New York lawyer sat nsj late one night writing letters he had not been able to finish during the day. It was past midnight when he went out to mail them, and when he returned and was undressing he paused in dis- may, missing a check for a large sunt received during the day and taken home with him. In vain was the house ransacked at that late hour. He wend to bed convinced that the lost check must be In the house. An hour late* he fell into uneasy slumber and beheld as with his eyes of the flesh the pink check curled about an area railing foot or five doors from his own house. So real was the dream that the trou* bled man woke up, dressed and, slip- ping down the stairs into the street walked along the sidewalk to a spot still seen vividly in his mind, and there, sure enough, standing edge upward and partly curled about the iron, was the missing; check. \1 think,\ he reported to the Psychical Research society, \my subconsciousness must have noticed if fall from my pocket as I walked to tha mail box and my subliminal self point- ed It out to me In sleep.\—William G* Fltz-Gerald In New York Tribune, The Dogs of Constantinople. There are at least 235,000 dogs fas Constantinople, which has a population of 1450,000. They are the vflest ofl. cowards and are the scavengers of tH*> city. It is said .that scores of people*, are bltlsn daily by the dogs of Oon- •rtantinople, but that a case of hydro-J phobia was never known there. Threat : centuries ago Nassuf Pasha,* grand vizier to Achmet HI., transported all the dogs to Asia and would have ha<S them destroyed there, but the saltan^ on consulting the mufti, was told tha# every dog had a soul and consequently? forbade such wholesale destruction* After the slaughter of the janizaries Mahmoud intended to get rid of tbem« for he caused an Immense number off sausages (!) to be made and, having poisoned them, gave the dogs a feast. Many thousands were thus killed in one day, but the people murmured sot| much that he was afraid to begin a# second day's work. He therefore orders ed them to be expelled to Asia, but th*' 1 order was very Indifferently executed, and ta a short time the dogs were as numerous as during the time of the janizaries. The Dog Morland Painted. Of the many stories of the seemingly* unconscious heroism of Newfoundland dogs none is more Interesting than th» one concerning the noble dog whicK Morland afterward painted. When William Pbfllips, bathing at Portsmouth, ventured beyond his deptis and was drowning, two boatmen, in- stead of setting out to his rescue, hag- gled about a reward from the bystand- ers, who were urging them to go to Phillips' rescue. In the midst of the controversy a Newfoundland dog leaped Into the Water and brought the exhausted bather to shore. Mr. Phil- lips bought the dog from its owner, m butcher, and yearly gave a festival be honor of his rescuer. It was for Mr. Phillips that Morland painted the dog's picture, and Barto* lozzl engraved it A Dream Warnl** ' A strange story comes from Calabria...
