the Proceeds.
What the small boy who haunts City
Hall park does not know about the FMS
and outs Of human nature Is hardly
worth knowing 1T all. He understands
among great many other valuable
things that the elderly and well to do
citizen generally likes to see a fight. and
afterward, regretting his yielding to
brutal longing for sceneso Of gore, is ready
to make amends in some way or other.
This fact received a practical demonstra-
ton day or two ago
Two newsboys, dirty, ragged and
shrewd, rs is usually the case with the
urchins in the park, stationed themselves
where homeward bound Brooklynites
would be sure to see them. These boys
were not of a size. One was fairly
plump, the other was a weazened bit Of
humanity, but he understood hi business
thoroughly They played their farce
neatly and very much In this fashion:
The larger boy bears down upon the
other, cuffs him, uses disgraceful Ian
guage and tears his papers. The at
tackled youth drops the papers and re-
turns the compliments verbal and pugi-
istic. There is a clinch and the small
boy goes down. By this time several
Brooklynites have halted and little
crowd has collected. Then the battle il
renewed The youngsters seem to strike
out viciously, but few Of their blows tell.
Again the smaller boy goes down. He
comes up pluchly again and once more
he is worsted. He squeezes a tear OF
two from his eyes, picks up his torn
papers and begins to wall.
His stock in trade is ruined, and be
must go supperless to bed. Two or three
bystanders put their hands in theil
pockets. They have been entertained in
rather disreputable way, and remorse
suggests atonement in the way of help.
ing the youngster out of his troubles
In no time his stock is disposed Of, and
he isn't asked to make change. A park
policeman, attracted by the sight of the
crowd is approaching, and the little fel
low, pocketing his gains, slides away
His antagonist has already disappeared
There are two scenes in the last act
One is on the steps of the bridge. Two
or three men are taking a look at the
newspapers they have just bought from
the urchin. The inspection is not all
that might be wished in its results. The
papers are two or three days old. The
other scene is In cheap restaurant moi
far from the park. Two boys who have
but just now been engaged in seeming
ly desperate combat are seated sociablJ
at the same table. "Well go some pie
too, Jimmy" remarks the smaller %

Few persons know how excellent razor
strop is the human hand CT arm. If a
razor is in fairly good condition and not
in need of the oil stone it may soon be
whetted to fine edge on the palm
of the hand or the inner side of
the forearm. The latter is best if it
is free of hair, as it frequently is, for it
presents whetting surface quite as long
as the ordinary razor strop. The fat
portion Of the palm, between the little
finger and the wrist, however, makes an
excellent strop. The process of strop-
ping a razor on the forearm appears a
bit alarming to the locker on, though
there is little danger that q skillful man
win do himself harm. New York Sun.

A singular Man.

One of the most remarkable human
curiosities ever seen has just been ex-
amined by NJ de Quatrefages, the
French naturalist. He is a Provincial,
named Simeon Aiguier, and is 30 years
old. Aiguier thanks to his peculiar
system of muscles and nsryes, can trans
form himself in most wohdrous fashion.
He has very properly dubbed himself
L'Homme- -Protee." At one moment,
assuming the rigidity of a statue, his
body may be struck sharply, the blows
falling as on a block of stone. At an
other he moves his intestines from above
and below and right to left into the form
of large football, and projects it for
ward, which gives him the appearance
of colossally stout parsonage.
He then withdraws it into the thorax,
opening like a cave, and the hollow look
of his body Immediately reminds one Of
a skeleton. Aiguier successfully imi-
tates man subjected to the tortures of
the rack, as also a man hanging himself,
and assumes striking cadaverous look.
What most astonished NJ de Quatre-
FACES was the stoppage Of the circula-
tion of the blood, now on the left and
now on the right side, which was effect
