A Fakir's Ingenuity.

Enormous business has been done
lately at French fairs by man who
professed TO sell rat powder that was
perfectly harmless and that struck rats
dead on the spot. In order TO convince
the skeptical, the man, first of all, pow
dered slice of bread with the stuff,
and ate piece of it himself. Then he
put the remainder under glass case, in
which a rat was kept In captivity. The
rat went to eat the bread and instant
ly fell dead. At five pence box the
powder went off like hot rolls, and the
lucky proprietor of the specific was in
fair way TO make FORTUNE. But the
police, who in France are very active
In protecting the people from fraud,
looked into the matter and found that
the powder was nothing but ordinary
sugar. They also discovered that the
case was connected with a powerful
electric battery, and the moment the
rat touched the bread the current was
turned on, and it was thus his death
was brought about. The man was ar
rested at the fair of Abb, and he has
been sentenced to fifteen days impris-
onment

FRIGHTENED THE HOOOLUMS

A SnowballlnG Gang In . Cross Street Do
feated by Strategy.
THAT was rather neat way friend
Of mine got the better of a hoodlum
gang of snowballers one day recently"
said Horribly at the club, according to
the New York Sun. There were about
fifty boys of various sizes and ages,
most of them above ten years, and they
had taken complete possession of a
block on one Of the cross streets up
town. Every man who came into that
street was snowballed out of it, and
the drivers and their horses were mer-
cilessly pelted. Whenever a policeman
would come in sight lookouts would
notify the gang and they would move
to another block and the reign of ter
ror would begin there. If man de-
cided to chase one part of the gang the
others would move up close behind him
and make the attack so terrific that in
nine cases out of ten he would be glad
to flee for his safety.
This friend of mine happened along
when such bombardment was going
on, and he saw man wild with rage
escape with hat gone and clothes be-
spattered from head to foot. Now it
was necessary for my friend TO go into
that street to serve a legal paper. He
saw the householders crowding to their
windows and enjoying the sport almost
as much as the boys, and he knew that
when his turn came not only must he
run the gauntlet of a terrific fire, but
he must be subjected to the ridicule
and laughter of the spectators. He
shut his lips tight and went in. He
had been particular to notice heap of
pretty clean snow about one hundred
feet from where the attack would be-
gin. His hat was soon knocked off and
the snowballs were pounding him on
the bare head and on his clothes. He
made for that heap of clean snow as
steadily as he could, and just as he
reached it and just as ball struck him
on the head near one of his ears he
threw up his hands and fell into that
snow as il he had been knocked uncon-
scious.
HE had planned this from the start.
There were cries from the spectators,
and shouts that the man had been
killed. Instantly every one of those
street Arabs fed, and in the twinkling
of an eye not one was to be seen. 1t
was an easy matter for my friend to
pull himself together again, and then
he went on unmolested."

Decorations OF Royalty Which Have beeu
Fairly Won.
There are princes aud princesses
who wear among their decorations med

own, medals that have not been grant
ed by way of mere compliment, says
the New York Mercury, but which have
been honestly and honorably earned.
presence of mind entitle them to wear
this highly-prized badge are prevented
from SO doing by reason of the fact
that it falls within their own province
to confer it, and they do not wish to
bestow il upon themselves.
A royal lady decorated with this
medal is Dowager Queen Pia of
Portugal, who is as magnificent a
swimmer as the queen regent of Spain
or Princess Helen of Orleans. Queen
Pia, while fully dressed, swan out into
the sea at La Granja some years ago
and rescued two children whose boat
had been capsized by heavy sea.
Her son, the present king of Portu-
gal, ought by rights to wear one OF
these medals as well, having last year
personally interviewed in a struggle be-
tween two men and saved the life of the
weaker of the two, in addition to hold
ing the would-be murderer until assist.
ance could be procured.
King Oscar of Sweden wears a life
saving medal, granted him before he
assembled the throne by Emperor Ma
poleon Ill. He has the right to wear
several medals of this sort, for the act
of courage thus recognized by the
French ruler is by no means the only
service to humanity rendered by the
royal Anak.
The feat which won him the medal
was the stopping, on the Corniche road,
of a pair of runaway horses which were
on the point of precipitating them
selves, along with the carriage and its
occupants, over a precipice upon the
rocks many hundred feet below.
At another time he plunged into the
water to save boy from drowning at
Nice; and while serving in the Swedish
navy he sprang overheard one very
saually night to save sailor who had
fallen into the sea.
His son, Prince Oscar, wears Swed-
ish medal for saving the life of drown
ing man whose boat had been capsized
by sudden puff in the port of Karls-
krona.
Almost identically the same feat was
performed two years ago by the gigan-
tic Prince George of Greece, who dived
from the quarterback of a man-of-war
anchored in the Bay of Piraus to rescue
sailor. He has likewise been specially
decorated by the emperor of Russia for
preserving the tsarovitz from death in
Japan.
