How an English General Was Convinced
by Juggler's Feat.
After Napier's battles With the Hin
docs opposed to the English u famous
iuggler visited the camp and per-
formed his feats before the general
his family and staif. Among other
performances this man cut in two
with stroke OF his sword a lime or
lemon placed in the hand OF his
assistant Napier thought there was
some collision between the juggler
and his retainer. To divide by a
sweep OF the sword so small an object
on mans hand without touching the
flesh he believed to be impossible
though similar incident is related
by Scott in his romance OF Tho
Talisman.
To determine the point the gen.
eral offered his own hand for the ex-
pertinent and he stretched out his
right hand. The juggler looked very
attentively at the hand and said that
he would not make the experiment
Il thought would lind you outr'
exclaimed Napier.
But stop" added the other. 'let
me see your left hand" The left
was submitted, and the man then
said firmly: If you will hold your
arm ateady | will perform the feat. /"
But why the left hand and not the
right?''
Because the right hand is hollow
in the center and there is the risk OF
cutting off the thumb; the left Is high
and the danger will be less"
Napier was startled. Il got fright.
ened. he said. Il saw it was an
actual feat Of delIcats swordsmanship
and if ! had not abused the man as I
did before my staff and challenged
him to the trial. / honestly aclsnowl-
edge would have retired from the
encounter. However. put the lime
on my hand and held out my arm
steadily. The juggler balanced him

lime in two pieces. | felt tho edge OF
the sword on my hand as if cold
thread had been drawn across it.m
