Hermann and the Cheat.

A characteristic story is told of Herr
mann. The incident took place at a
we'll known London club, where ecarte
was one of the favorite games INDUCED
in for stakes by no means insignificant.
1t was observed that on these occasions
q certain member almost invariably rose
a considerable winner At length SO
marked became the good fortune Of this
member that another determined to
probe the matter to the bottom. One
evening accordingly, at his own rooms,
he introduced Hermann under false
name to a select party of the members,
among whom figured the suspected one.
At the close of the nights amusement,
when the guests had departed, the host
turned to the conjurer and demanded
his opinion. "Not doubt of it," re-
piled Hermann, "our friend cheats,
but exactly how can't say yet. Give
me another chance" A second meeting
was subsequently arranged, and play
began. Suddenly Hermann, looking
straight at the supposed culprit, ex-
claimed, Where did you get that
king?" "Wher ,?'' replied the other.
"Out of the pack, of course" "Impos-
sible, my dear sir" retorted Hermann,
"for happen to have all the four kings
here" and thereupon he calmly drew
them from his sleeve and laid them on
the table. ST. James Gazette.

NO POLICEMEN NEEDED.
Only Two Thefts In Iceland In Thousand
Years.

Only Two Thefts In Iceland In a Thousand
Years.
In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are so honest in their
habits that such defenses to property as
locks, bolts and bars are not required,
nor are there any police in the island.
Yet its history for 1000 years records
no more than two thefts OF these two
cases one was that OF a native, who was
detected after stealing several sheep,
but as he had done so to supply his fam
lily, who were suffering for want Of
food, when he had broken his arm, pro-
visions were furnished to them and
work was found for him when able to
do it, and meanwhile he was placed un-
der medical care. but the stigma attach
ed to his crime was considered sufficient
punishment.
The other theft was by German,
who stole IL Sheep.
But as he was in comfortable circum-
stances and the robbery was malicious
the sentence passed upon him was that
he should sell all his property, restore
the value of what he had stolen and
then leave the country or be executed,
and he left at once. But though crime
is rare in Iceland and its inhabitants
are distinguished for honesty and puri-
ty of morals there is, of course, provi-
sion for the administration of justice,
which consists, first of all, in the sher-
ifs courts; next, by appeals to the
court of three judges at Reikiavik, the
capital, and lastly in all criminal and
most civil cases to the supreme court at
Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, of
which kingdom the island forms part.
The island of Panaris, one of the Lipari
group, is equally fortunate in having
neither prisons nor lawyers and being
absolutely destitute of both paupers and
criminals. Boston Transcript.
