When He stopped Payment.

The bullying name sometimes as
sumed by certain barristers in cross
examination, in order to confuse a wit
ness and make his replies to important
questions h~esitating and contradictory,
is notorious, and many are the tales told
of"cute' witnesses who have turned the
tables on their prosecutors. The fol-
lowing relates to a case of this kind:
In a civil action On money matters
the plaintiff had stated that his fnan-
cial position was always satisfactory.
In cross examination he was asked if he
had ever been bankrupt.
No" was the answer.
Next question was, Now, be care
full; did you ever stop payment"
Yes" was the reply.
"Ah," exclaimed the counsel. II
thought we should get at it at last.
When did that happen:"
After l paid all l owed" was the
answer.-London Tit-Bits.

The Head Waiter,s Cocktail.

In a swell hotel on Broadway the
head waiter is not allowed to indulge in
bibulous refreshments during the hours
he is on duty. The other evening he
was filled with an irrepressible long
ing for a cocktail. He managed to get
1t with such ease that it was evidently
a well tried and ~eficacious trick.
His method can be best understood
by quoting the waiter:
"Sure, we're not charging yes for a
cocktail" whispered a waiter to a
young gentleman to whom he had Just
brought a check, but the head waiter
wanted a cocktail and thought yes
would be the wan who would moind
Taste having it put it on to yes bill.
You see" whispered the waiter, conf
dentially, he couldn't put it onto the
bill Of the gists in the house, they might
it, so he had to put it onto the
bill of somebody who came in from the
I'll bring yes the twinty cents
back and thank yes fur the
dation."
1.-The head waiter has either discerned
that you are a man with a liberal and
sympathetic disposition or one who
knows how good a cocktail tastes and
how bad a man wants it when he an
not get it, " remarked the young lady
who was dining with the gentleman

out as a possible friend to a fellow mar

A WoNoERFUL HAND.
An Artificial Substitute Nearly as Perfect
as the Natural Member.

An Artificial Substitute Nearly as Perfect
as the Natural Member.
Willard a. Lucas, the son of a great
WOODEN manufacturer at Poquetannuck,
Conn, wears an artificial hand made
Of aluminium which is really one of the
automatical wonders Of the century.
Young Lucas lost his hand in his IA
theirs mills, and Lucas, ST., who grieved
exceedingly owe the results of the ac-
cident, wrote or went in person to every
known manufacturer Of artificial limbs
in this country and Europe, vainly
seeking a false hand for his son. Arti-
fetal hands could have been procured
from any Of them, but what was want
ed was not to be found-viz, a hand that
would perform all the functions of a
real flesh and blood member.
Finally the elder Lucas, who is
known as a rare mechanical genius,
took it upon himself to make his son a
hand-not a mere dummy" but one
that would be useful for the manifold
purposes to which such members are
put. The result is a surprise to every
maker Of artificial limbs in the world.
The automaton is Of aluminium and
much resembles the steel g~auntlets
worn by the knights of the middle ages.
The fingers are all perfect and lifelike,
the joints in each bending as readily as
those in a natural hand, making it pos
sible for the young man to perform ev-
cry kind Of labor. An expert report on
this wonderful piece of mechanism reads
as follows:
With it he can grasp and handily
use all kinds of tools, pick up things
from the ground, drive, handle a gun
in fact, use it quickly and skillfully at
any kind of work. Like a natural hand,
the artificial one consists of a palm that
is provided with a fastening by which
it is attached to a cork stump the
joints working by a ratchet, so that the
fingers may be bent forward at any
angle and held there. The hand may
be only partly closed or tightly shut,
and only n finger or all, as the wear
er desires, may be closed at once and
instantly by striking them against the
body or other object. To release the
grasp it is only necessary to touch a
spring at the back of the hand. The
invention is as nearly a perfect substi-
tute for a natural hand as could be de-
vised and is the only thing of the kind
known in the world. st. Louis Re-

Where They Eat Tobacco.

Perhaps there is nothing more pecul-
lar about the Eskimoes of Point Bar
row than their methods of using tobac-
co, which, of course, they procure from
the whites. They know good from bad
tobacco. When they get hold of a few
plugs of commissary tobacco from a
vessel of the United States navy, they
show a marked appreciation of it. The
habit of chewing the weed seems to be
universal. Men, women and even un-
weaned children keep a quid, often of
enormous size, constantly in the mouth.
The juice is not spit out, but swallow
ed with the saliva, without producing
any symptoms of Observation-Disclosures
