The Lock That Won't Lock.

"Next to the bureau drawer that
catches" said Mr.. Bugleby, Il should
certainly place, in making up cata-
logue of the minor annoyances of life,
the lock that won't lock. This is not
a lock that is utterly broken down,
but one that is in some way out of
kilter Sometimes it locks easily and
in perfectly orderly manner at the
first turn of the key; usually the key
turns about half round and stops.
Then you turn the key back and try
again, and you try about seventeen
times, but every time it brings up
against something inside. and it won't
go any further. Some men at this stage
want to kick the lock off the door; he
is a rare man indeed who keeps his
temper in that doubly exasperating
moment when the lock which had
stubbornly resisted the most violent
and persistent wrenchings of the key
finally locks glibly ut the slightest
touch."-N. Y. Sun.

ITO BE Continued
Policy Tips from Carriage Numbers.

Men who play policy are quick to
catch any chance suggestion from
combined numbers on which to play a
gig. If you should happen to come
along about the close of the opera
some evening-or of any entertain
ment where good many carriages
play conspicuous part-you will be
sure to note the eagerness with which
the first numbers are received. Sup
pose the number "49'' comes out, fol-
lowed by.''9'' and 500" That is to say,
suppose these are the numbers of the
first three carriages called Half the
colored drivers in the crowd will play
these numbers at the first opportunity.
Nothing SO appeals to the superstition
of the black man as any sort of a
jingle in mat sers of policy. 1t is not
unusual for a passing colored man to
suddenly pull out a memorandum book
and make a note of anything of that
sort for immediate use. All the favor
tie gigs of the negroes have some kind
of a jingle to them.-N. Y. Herald.

MYSTERIOUS DENTISTRY.
It Was Performed by a Chinese Trickste
in Singapore.

It Was Performed by a Chinese Trickster
in Singapore.
He was Chinese, and standing in a
public place, he loudly invited patients
to be relieved of their troublesome
teeth. Several persons came forward,
and the treatment was not little sin
gular and puzzling.
Clapping red plaster upon the cheek.
over the spot where the guilty tooth
was situated, he at the same time put
inside the mouth a small quantity of
some kind of white paste. Then, in
serting an instrument which looked
something like an ordinary dentists
key, he speedily whipped the tooth out
entire.
The curious part of the performance
was that no cry escaped the patients;
and on narrowly watching their fea-
lures l could not perceive the slightest
symptom of momentary pain. But the
bleeding fangs of the teeth as held up
to view negatived the idea of any trick
or delusion. The price of the operation
was only ten cents!
Sometimes the fellow pretended to
charm the tooth out without any
operation; a feat which he accom-
plished by sticking the plaster on the
face, and putting the white paste into
the mouth. as before; after which. in
stead of using any extracting instru-
ment, he stuck against the tooth the
pointed end of a piece of folded paper
containing a little of some black sub
stance which looked like pitch. Then,
having kept the patient waiting for
three or four minutes with his mouth
shut, he would tell him to cough, when
out would come the tooth with NO
further difficulty.

While ON his campaigns Napoleon's
thoughts were continually directed to-
ward his son. Even when command
ing from two hundred thousand to
three hundred Thousand men on the
battlefield he was in almost daily COM
munication with Nine. Montesquieu-
who was in charge of the child. This
woman was adored by the young king
of Rome. The following incident il
related of the manner in which Mime.
Montesquieu sometimes managed the
child: His apartments were on the
ground floor and looked out into the
court of the Tuileries. It was q COM
mon occurrence for people in passing
the window to look in with the hope OF
seeing the young prince. One day
when he was in a violent fit of temper,
rebelling against the authority of his
governess. she Immediately ordered all
the shutters closed. The child in
quired what it meant, to which she re-
piled: 81 love you too we'll not to hide
your anger from the crowd in the
courtyard. You perhaps will one day
be called to govern all those people.
and what would they say if they saw
you in such fit of rage? Do you think
they would ever obey you if they know
you to be SO wieked?" The child asked
for pardon, and promised never again
to give way to such fits OF anger. Nine
Junot says that young Napoleon was
an amiable child, and that he became
more SO as he advanced in age. The
emperor had given orders that his SON
should always be acceptable to those
in misfortune who wished to make any,

interesting story is told of the young
king soliciting from his father a PEN

The degeneracy Of the age is illut-
trated by the number of bank rob-
berries now being perpetrated in this
country. Three or four men walk
into bank, in the most ordinary way,
pull their pistols and order the cashier
to ''shell eut.'' This he is compelled
to do or be shot. The wealth is put
into sack and the enterprising gentle
men sally out leisurely, fling the sack
on a horse, mount and ride off, and
generally that is all there is of the
matter. Each bank cashier should
have Gatling gun on his desk as part
of the Office equipment, and when the
demand for money is made in this way,
go to turning the crank with all of his
might. This would render the bust
ness of bank robbing at least interest
ing if not profitable.
