Sure Cure for BurSlarics.

From the New York World
Residents of suburban towns whose lives
are made unhappy by burglars should try
this scheme: Save up all the newspapers
that come into the house and. before going
to bed, strew them before windows through
which access might he had to the house,
and also before the doors of sleeping rooms
and near the house safe silver closet.
An oldtime burglar who has reformed
and has no further use for the knowledge
himself, says that there are three things
a night thief breads. One Is a baby. the
second a little whifet dog that can sleep
with both eyes open and barks when a
needle falls, and the third is a newspaper.
Almost always the paper rattles or crackes
when a foot touches it. Unless burglar
is so desperate that he will risk his own
life he will leave the moment he strikes a
house strewn with newspapers.

A KNIFE-PROOF SKIN,
Berlin Astounded Mt n SingnIese
Whose Hide is ImperyiOus to Attacks.


Whose Hide is ImperyiOus to Attacks.
From the London Graphic.
In Berlin a Singalese battles all investiga-
tons by physicians by the impenetrability of
his skin. The bronZed easterner, Hercules
in shape. claims to have found an exilir
which will render the human skin imper-
vious to any metal point or sharpened edge
of knife or dagger, and calls himself the
Man with the Iron Skin" 1t is true that
it has been impossible to even scratch his
skin with sharplypointed nails, with finely
ground knives and daggers. He is now ex-
hibitinS himself, and his greatest feat is to
pass with his entire body through a hoop
the inside of which is hardly big enough to
admit his body, and is closely set with sharp
knife pointsdaggers. nails and other equally
pleasant trifles. Through this hoop he
squeezes his body, with absolute impunity
The physicians do not agree a. to his immu-
nifty. and some of them think that Rhannin
which is his name, is a faliir who has by
long practice succeeded in hardening him
self against the Impressions of metal upon
his skin. The professors of the Berlin clinic
however, considered it worth while to lecture
about the mans skin, pronouncing it an in
eXplicable matter

PHILBRICK.
The hottest kind of retort burned upon

he succeeded in depressing it, He directed
