Smart Coniuring.

A corporal and two privates, having
in their custody deserter, were resting
themselves at country tavern not long
ago.
The deserter amused his guardians
with several entertaining sleight- Of hand
tricks, but being encountered with hand
cuffs, complained that he could not dis.
play his skill to advantage, and re-
quested to having his hands at liberty,
whilst he exhibited trick which he de-
seribed.
This being agreed to, he proceeded to
tie the hands of the three soldiers aud
his own together with handkerchief
and he was to loose the four with one
motion simultaneously.
The magic knots we're tied, but they
all remained firm except the one which
held the deserter. This came asundel
with touch, when he lifted up the sash
and darted through the window, leaving
his keepers raging at each other like
ill-coupled hounds. The deserter ha,
not been seen since. - Yankee Blade.

A Machine for Checking Moneys.

A useful machine has been construct
ed for recording and checking moneys
received. The device consists OF a stamp
which bears on its base an impression
plate holding the words received, name
and date. Figures are placed on three
wheels, on the shafts of which are Sec
ond series of wheels. SO arranged that
any combination of figures shown out
side the stamp are also shown inside.
and the same figures are thus printed on
the record paper in the TOP Of the stamp
us are imprinted on the invoice paper I'M
derneath. Each time the stamp Is used
the recoil of the handle carries forward
the record paper so as to present fresh
surface for the next printing, and by
simple arrangement inside the stamp no
receipt can be given without the record
paper being moved. 1t is therefore i'm
possible to give receipt without record
ing the transaction inside the apparatus.
The stamp can be adjusted and receipt
given in one-ttird the time occupied in
writing receipt, with the further ad-
vantage that the apparatus cannot make
mistakes.-Chlcago News Record.

Maine Fishing.

Maine as marvellous fishing ground
for "the Boston folks" is by no means
new idea Allen Merrill, of Dexter, the
jovial stable keeper and long time deputy
sheriff, was once participant in fish
ing adventure that made the eyes of
some Boston visitors to that town stick
out with amazement. 1t was way back
in the early days of the village when he
was "a little chick" of boy and worked
in Favor's Hotel, hostelry then the
pride of the town, but for many years
well-nigh forgotten. The Boston fellows
were in the bar-room in the evening, and
were feeling pretty smart, when Favor,
who was great joker, said to them:
sI've got the smartest boy there is any
where round, and I'll bet you S. he can
sit down right in the middle Of this room
and catch fish," The bet was prompt
" taken and Favor said "Come, Allen!
Get your hook and line" He did as he
was bid, and in minute Favor raised
trap door in the floor, into which he
dropped his hook. In less than two
minutes he drew up plump sinner.
The company" were completely taken
back at losing their money, but on in.
vestigatisn they found that the end OF
the hotel jutted over the bed of the mill
stream, so that the fishing process was
an entirely natural one. The Summer
hotels at the fishing grounds might take
hint from the incident, and locate SO
that city guests could find fishing ON
the premises. " lewiston (Nfe Journa.

Experience is the best. and often the
most expensive, teacher. There are tive
ways of obtaining expericnce-one by
getting it yourself and paying for it, and
the other by observing the experience of
others and protiting thereby The latter
is by far the cheaper
In this connection it is interesting to
observe that nearly twelve thousand fail
ures occurred in the United States and
Canada in 1892. Most of these failures
were attributed to insufficient capital, y
but close analysis of the reasons given
would, we believe, show that a lack of
experience was the foundation of vast
majority of these misadventures in bust
ness. Other causes, of course, are men
toned. OF the ~. 900 failures over /, 1000
were attributed to fraud, nearly 1000 to
incompetence, the same number to dis
aster and over 3, 800 to sslack of means. =
