A Fakir'S Ingenuity.

ately at French fairs by man who
professed to sell rat powder that was

In which rat was kept in captivity.
The rat went to eat the bread and iD-
stantly fell dead. At 5 pence a box the
powder went OF like hot rolls, and the
lucky proprietor Of the specific was in
q fair way to make fortune. But the
police, who in France are very active IN
protecting the people from 8 fraud,
looked into the matter and found that
the powder was nothing but ordinary
sugar. They also discovered that the
case was connected with q powerful
electric battery, and the moment the
rat touched the bread the current was
turned on, and it was thus bis death
was brought about. The man was ar

bore the same relation to Eastern Asia
as did the Iberians and Lapps to pre-
historic Europe. While Of low grade
intellectually, they had mastered nearly
all the primitive arts. They had do
nesticated the buffalo, dog, cat mon

be questioned If they had tanned the

For some time past. says the Chicags,

people living about 18th and Clinton

competition. The juiclest sirloins, the
latest rib roasts, the most desirable
flets were to be had Of Murrato 5, 10
and Is cents pound cheaper than the
grasping rival butchers would accept
for their inferior wares. The general
impression among the Italian colony
was that buying Murrato's beef w'ls
being In some way accessory after the
fact to a felony, and ~the only thing
they doubted was what particular Kind
Of O crime it was that they were en-
couraging. They never would have

paid up, but when his landlord broke
into his barn Monday and found a de-

And yet the distaste for horse and TO,
