A Duel on a Tight Rope.

In Dublin, at the beginning of this century,
says London lid Bits, there were two rivals in
the art of rope dancing, Frenchman named
Perote, and an Italian. Sgnor Sarfuico, who
AFTER trying in every way to outvie each other,
agreed TO perform together in a dance of
friendship. The two men on the rope were in
the full dress OF the period, with lace rufies,
oag-wtgs, and swords. Signor Sarfuico in be-
ginning seemed to have some difficulty with his
reet, which Perote perceiving, caused him to
make some remark, which aroused the Italian q
anger, who raised bis hand as IL to strike; the
same instant Perote's rapier was drawn, and
before the audience could comprehend that
they had quarreled, Sarfuico's sword was out
also, and the two we're thrustlng at each other
on the tignt-rope. Both were good swords
men, but Perote was the better of the two. He
warded on the Italians thrust with his rapier
till 6arfuico, making one desperate lunge re-
cetved back-stroke, which threw him off his
balance, and at the same time Attempted to
grapple with his enemy Down he went, and
down went Perote, and there was the Italian
hanging on the rope by his feet, and the
Frenchman hanging on to it by both hands.
when the latter with face of triumph, cried
Look, ladies and gentlemen, at the straps at
tached to his shoe heels and passed over the
ropel There is how he has made himself safe
and dared to pretend he surpassed me- whose
life was spent on the rope, and whose great
grandfather performed before Henry w. By
this time shs spectators had rushed with lad
ders and feather beds and got both men safely
down Sarfuico's exposure, however, pre-
vented his further success, and he quickly dis
appeared from the city.

Large Money SHIPMENTS.

z. a. Plat. the agent Of the United States
Express Company at the treasury department
who has charge Of the shipment OF government
coin and currency, says the Washington Post,
was at one time the purssr on a steamer run
ming between San Francisco and Hong Kong,
and in conversation about the big gold ship
ment he recalled the time when he had charge
OF Sl,0)O, 900 in silver coin.
We are constantly shipping silver to China, >
said Mr.. Patt. The exchange Is all against
US. We receive large quantities of teas and
SILKS from China and we send back little or
nothing. So the shipment Of silver to the other
side is a regular business and q very profitable
one, too The steamers have large tanks con
structed between decks fastened with fat locks,
which are known as jail lock. and the silver
PACKED in boxes holding 81 900 each, is stored

experience In that position-the Cinnamon in
the crew crAwled along between the decks and
sawed the looks OF the tank. They got a com
parattvely small amounts 81. 900 or 30. They
could not have carried more The loss was not
discovered until the end of the voyage, On my
nrst trip you may be sure had LOOK into that
TANK every day 20 see that no one had tempered
with the boxes
When we banded the 81 900 900 shipment we
found that We could get only S725, 900 of it into
the tank, and the remainder, 1915 900, we had
70 put up into one of the state rooms The last
night out slept ia that state room on top of the
silver with a revolver handy. or course it was
known among the crew that we were carrying
this large quantity OF coin, and although no one
could have carried away very large sum,
thieves could have stored away great deal Of
the money In odd corners Of the ship with the
IDEA or taking it away later, and there are so
many odd hooks in ship that 1t would have put
US to great deal of trouble to hunt it out The
company got $4,000 for handling that ship

ance agsinss loss by fire, collision or wreck
That probably cost the shipper per cent. more

A Cure for Cholera.

1t has been announced that if you will hang q
large copper cent to your stomach you will have
no cholera, says the Brooklyn Eagle. You need
not hang this to the inside of the stomach; the
outside will do; in fact, you can suspend 1t by a
string from the neck. This is an old prescrip-
ton, revived, and being easy to take it is freely
given here There is another prescription, how
ever that was tried In the cholera visitation of
1865 and never failed to work cure, and that,
too is so simple that people ought to know it:
Take eighteen hairs from the head of a man
born on the island of Malta at the hour of SOP
O'Clock p. m. Oct. ID, 1891, who came to
America in 1853, landing on the East river
side Of New York between the hours of / and
So'clock p. IN. on June II. and who, within
thirty minutes Of landing proceeded to Broad
way and got drink composed of equal parts of
gin vermouth and ice water: who subsequently
went into politics. became assemblyman for the
Twelfth district and died in 1860. Man must
have been feet So inches high, have weighed
1872 pounds and been named Jones Unless
these conditions are fulfilled the hair is of no
use. Put It into q locket and wear it in the
right hip pocket, and the cholera will never
come NEARER than the next block. This enables
you to spend the cent, too, instead of carrying
1t superhuously about your person.
