A BAD BOY FROM BROOKLYN.
He Made Trouble by Being Too Obliging "a

He Made Trouble by Being Too Oblising for
an Unapprecistive World.
From the Chicago Post.
Talk about Chicago boys being tough" ex-
claimed a man at the club, "they raise variety
of boys in Brooklyn that beats the native pro-
duct all hollow. Up at my house I've got ten
year-old nephew who lives in the city Of
churches. He arrived here Sunday night and
early Monday morning he took stroll down
Park avenue to see what the town looked like
Pretty soon he came to a house where some
one had died, and black Grape was tied to the
door bell. Willie looked earnestly at it, came
to the conclusion that it didn't harmonic with
the style of architecture, united it and carried
it of. When he came back it was draped artis-
tically on his left arm.
Tuesday morning he saw q sign on the
front door Of house in the neighborhood.
The sign said: Bell broken. Please knock
Willie is an accommodating youngster. SO what
does he do but 60 up the steps and knock like
thunder. A woman came in response to his
summons and asked him what he wanted.
4" What do want? exclaimed Willie, indig-
nantly. That's a nice question for you to ask |!
You put up a sign asking people to knock. and
when a kid is polite enough to do it you ask
him what he wants! They wouldn't do that
way in Brooklyn, you bet your life"

it loOked:

"Well, I DECLARE he exclaimed. ''this is .
revelation to me. Why, 1 thought there were
only Roman numerals to indicate the hours,
and the fact that there we're second hands on
the face never entered my head, that little dial,
of course, wiping out the VI, which thought
was there. Yes, lost the money squarely."
''rHE CHARMED CIRCLE"
One Of the most simple yet puzzling tricks
which may be illustrated by the same figures
is called "The Charmed Circle" 1t is some
times known as ''The Mind Reader" All the
paraphernalia required is sheet of paper and
a pencil. On the paper make a circle of figures
in dial style.
The trick is to tell any number in the circle
thought Of by another person. This is how it
is done: After a number has been selected by
your friend ask him to add one to it when
you strike the paper. Then you continue
striking and he counting until twenty is
reached. Then you will be on the number he
has chosen.
Care must be taken, however, in hitting the
figures to be sure that on the eighth stroke
you touch twelve, and then move around the
circle to the left, touching each number in
regular order. It is an unfailing source Of
mystifying amusement.
1t can be made more confusing by dis
tributing the first seven strokes around the
circle promiscuously, but do not fail to touch
twelve on the eighth and proceed as directed.

to be taking in everything not only in the car,
rather slender, very genteel, and, if am any
judge, handsome as a picture. His hair was
black and curly, and he wore the cutest little

made eyes at me. Mamma is always telling me

solemn as could be and didn't appear to notice

down town. We had crossed Woodward avenue,

shoulders. He comes naturally by his mar
vel GUS strength. His mother was powerful
woman, who considered the carrying of barrel
Of -four up two flights Of stairs mere trife.
She weighed 265 pounds. His father tipped
the scales at 900 pounds, but was not gifted with
any remarkable weight-lifting ability. He has
several brothers who are only ordinary men in
the matter Of strength.
The remarkable thing about Cyr's perform
ance is that he uses no harness. In New York
city December 20, 1858, William B. Curtis made
harness lift Of 3,239 pounds. At Bcrthier-
vile, Canada, October 1, 1888, Cyr, without
harness. raised {, $50 pounds Of pig iron. He
confidently expects to lift 4, 500 pounds before
he retires.
For two years Cyr has abstained from the use
Of liquor and tobacco This. he says, has in
creased his lifting ability 700 pounds. He eats
hve or six pounds Of meat a day, and pays
double board. Cyr's last and greatest lift was
1888 pounds.
At recent exhibition given by Cyr in Lew
iston. Me-. he picked up barrel Of -four with
one hand and put it on his shoulder as if it
were bundle Of cotton batting. With one
man weighing 160 pounds upon them, the total
weight being SIG pounds. He lifted the bells
and the man about two feet from the floor with
the forefnger Of his right hand only. He Jug
gled a 35.pound cannon ball as il it were
rubber. His great feat Of the evening was in
hosting, by his famous upward back lift, a
platform weighing 26l pounds, upon which
stood twenty men whose combined weight with
that OF the platform, was !, $50 pounds. He also
did an equilibrist act with Mrs Cyr, in which
he balanced her clinging to . ladder supported
on his chin.
Cyr was recently presented with handsome
championship belt by the citizens OF Montreal.

Near Dayton. Ga. there is well locally
known As the ''well of frozen air." says the
Philadelphia Ledger. In drilling the well
stratum Of frozen clay and gravel was encount-
cred at depth Of fifty-ive feet. After passing
through five feet of this numerous cavities
were encountered from which cold air came in
gusts. The escape Of the air from the well can
be heard roaring for nearly 400 yards. The
depths il 20 frigid that it is not possible for
any one to hold his hand over the opening for
more than two minutes without having 1t
frozen. A bucket of water set over the OPEN
ing will freeze through and through within .
few hours. Il Is needless to add that work was
abandoned on the well when the cavities Of
'sfressn air" were tapped.
