the line or draw it in by causing the
wheel to revolve outward or inward.
The two lines are baited and thrown
from the boat in opposite directions.
A cog prevents the wheel from re-
volving outward any further than
necessary. When the cog is violently
agitated the fisherman knows he has
caught something, and rapidly turns
the wheel inward until the prize is
secured.
More ingenious still is the arrange
ment by which Mr.. Fuchs shoots his
gum With his hook he takes I'D the
weapon and puts it in place. Right
opposite his mouth, at the butt end
of the gun, which he leans against
his cheek to take aim, are two
strings. Each communicates with
trigger Cthe gun is double-barreled
He SEXES one Of these between his
teeth, gives his head a wrench, and
bangi one of the barrels has I'M
Loaded its contents. In nine cases
out Of ten the. victim lies still and
bleeding on the ground in front of
him.
He always goes out on these expe-
ditions alone. How, then, does he
load his gun? He exhibited his
methods to the reporter. His pow
der flask and his shot pouch measure
off automatically the proper amount
and he has only to touch the springs
with his hook. He forces down first
the powder and then the shot by
means of ramrod, which he presses
down with his elbow, and pulls up
again by means of a ring into which
he inserts his hook. This may seem
a slow process. But he has learned
how to do the trick with precision
and dispatch.
A curious fact is often noted in
the case of people who have lost
limb is worth noting once more in
this case. Mr.. Fuchs continually
feels the presence of his lost mem
bers, even to his fingers. This is es-
pecially true of the left arm, which
is reduced to merely a stump. He
has a vivid impression of this
arm, as if crooked at the elbow and
pressed against his breast, with the
thumb between the first and second
fingers. To his inner sense the phan-
tom seems an absolute reality. Oc-
casionally he feels pain or itching
in this or that finger. The itching
can be relieved by scratching the
stump. Doubtless he might relieve
the pain by applying medicaments
to the stump, but he has never tried
the experiment.

LONDON, March 31.-A special dis
patch from Paris says that the so
called Yankee mystery the shooting
of Waddell or Read by Thomas O. Brien
on Wednesday last, at the Northern
railway station, is still unexplained
O'Brien laughs at the antecedents
saddled upon him, and says that they
are probably his brothers, whom he de-
scribes as a bad lot" The quarrel
1T is said, is not one arising from diff
ferences between bookmakers, but had
its origin in a love affair, and resembles
the troubles between Jim Fisk and
Stokes, which led to the shooting of the
former. The present heroine's charms
are very great. Both at the American
legation and consulate unusual reti-
cence in regard to the affair is shown.

1t would lessen the wonder if he
were. All sorts of marvels have
been accomplished by people to

the normal complement of limbs.
But Mr.. Fuchs case is different.
Here is man who was born whole,
and who at middle age loses both
arms, and yet trains the stump of
one of them to a degree of skillful-
ness that enables him to outstrip
many of his more fortunate fellows.
Johann was born sixty-two years
ago in Baden. His boyhood and
early manhood were spent as a
sailor and fisherman on the Rhine.

then in Wildwood, accepting in the

both his arms were badly crushed.
The left arm had to be amputated
just below the shoulder; the right

Regarding the New Discovery for.
Curing Dyspepsia and Indires-
ton.
Dr. hartman, who has made manv
tests OF the new dyspepsia cure. is
very enthusiastic in his praise of this
excellent preparation. 1t is not a Sc
cret patent medicine, but is composed of
pure pepsin, bismuth, fruit salts and
vegetable essences, made into pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges and sold
by druggists at so cetnts per package
under the name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
DR.. Hartman states that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets cure dyspepsia and
weak stomachs, because they possess
the peculiar power of digesting what
ever wholesome food is taken into the
stomach. They do not act on the
j bowels like cathartics, but act en-.
tirely on the food, digesting it thor
oughly and quickly, giving the
stomach a chance to rest and recover
its natural strength, which it invar-
iably will do after course of Stu
| arts Dyspepsia Tablets. If your
druggist hasn't them in stock ask
him to order a small quantity from his

thrift the old couple have managed
to accumulate little property, in
Guiding the modest house and lot

less, the old couple have never lost
their cheeifulness.
When reporter of the New York

a picture of green and sunny old
age. With considerable pride he
brought out his gun and his sculling
oar and showed the reporter the
manner in which he used them.
The oar he encircles with his
