Tbs Cars Muscle.

Among the many anecdotes that.are
flying about regarding the Car during
his recent visit TO Copenhagen, have
not seen the following in print. His
sojourn in the Danish capital is the
first real vacation the poor man has
had since he dOnned the crown which
has caused his head to lie so exception
ally uneasy ever since.
1t appears that sleight-of-hand
man had been showing off his best
tricks before the royal party at Fred
ensbOrg, and was about to take his
leare when the ear took up the pack
of cards with which the prestidigita-
teur had been operating and said:
81 will show you another trick, but
doubt whether you will be able tc
add it to your repertoire"
His majesty then tore the pack OF
fifty-twO cards in half without appar-
emily the slightest effort. The show
man produced another pack and tried
to initiate his example, but in vain
Only those possessing wrists of stee
can in this case follow suit. 1t is NJ
trick, but the exercise of almost super
human strcneth.-New York Star.

A somewhat remarkable thing took
place in the Ohio river lust below
Evansville, Ind, on Saturday last
4 few days ago the steamer Robert y.
Carson sunk i'll forty feet Of water, to-
gether with thirty head of cattle CON
fined on the lower deck. For two or
three days a number of hands did all
i'll taeir lower to raise the srnke.,
boat, but without avail, and the pro
.ject was abandoned. Early on Satur-
day morning, however, the ..pilothouse
and hurricane deck of the Carson sud-
denly appeared above water. When Il
crew was Sent down the steamer was
t1oating along, sustained and upheld
by some mysterious agency. This was
subsequently tracedto the cattle them
selves, which had become inflated by
gases generated in the carcasses. and
the combined bnoyancy Of these dead
bo,lies had actually lifted the steamer
To the surface. The boat sank again
when they were cut loose. Old steam
bOatpien declare that it is the strangest
occurrence in all their experience

when he left he said:
"'Miss Matlinton, your refusal has
made me desperate all the colors of

what dreadful thing has happened"
''Was his first name Georges" asked
the old man, scanning the paper.

"H-m-George Sampson. Yes, he
has been sent up for ten days.
