An Eccentric Arm

The French tenor Duprez wore false
arm which became famous by reason of
the story Of a singular catastrophe which
befell it. This arm, the right one, was
curiously constructed, so that by a move
ment of the body, aided by sudden
touch from behind the back by the left
hand, it would rise naturally, and act
as if it were made of real flesh and bone
and muscle.
One. night in the second act of '"Tra-
viata," at the Grand Opera in Paris.
Duprez; in giving the final adieu to VIC
letta, threw. his arm upward with more
force than it could stand, and the con
sequence was that it became dislocated.
One of the springs broke, and the
spectators were amazed to see the limb
going round like windmill. Poor VIC
letta, seeing her lover in so terrible a
condition, tainted. Great confusion
reigned. Some of the stage hands ran
to the rescue, and one man was slapped
in the face for his pains, the blow al
most knocking him senseless: More as
sistance came, and the wild arm was

boned dapple gray, while the other nag
was of q deep yellow. and looked much
like a living, moving hatrack. One was
leading a mule and the other an old
steed that looked like broken-down car
horse. Presently the man on the yellow
horse said to the other: .WellY The
answer was, Well" Talk You talk

dickering for some time a trade was eff
fected, and one of them got dollar to
boot. We wandered about over the
place and covered about an acre and
half until we grew tired, and then re-
turned to the train. On the way back
we overheard two of the strangers talk
ing: One of these said he was three
iacknives and $3.25 in money ahead.
We were told that these swapping days
are held once a month. The men meet
at this place and swap anything, from
jackknife to farm, but trading in horses
