cessful1y Worked I'm Paris.
 Swindling is as monotonous as ethics or mathematics, and the various ways and means resorted to in the last decade of the nineteenth century for obtaining possession of other peoples money were matters of common knowledge in the Egypt of Rameses the Great. But the Parisian police now affirm that new departure has been made on the banks of the Seine And this is how it was worked:
 An office was hired in a good busi- ness street by the inventor of the trick, who assumed the title of somebody and company, chemical agents. Being con- yinced advocates of women's rights, they employed some members of the fair sex, who dressed in the height of fashion, used the most fashionable per fumes and then visited singly the best apothecaries' shop. One of these fair, false emissaries would stop her cab at the chemists, come in and, taking out her purse, ask for another bottle of Dr. Beaumont elixir. "Dr. Beaumont what?' said the young man behind the counter ''The elixir Den you know? ssNo: am afraid I nev CT heard of it. "Oh how tiresome, and my poor rheu- matic husband will be so disappointed Are you sure it was not here that our servant bought it before?' ''No, ma dame: it was not here. Where is it sold wholesaler "It is sold wholesale, l think - And here the lady showed the ticket on the bottle. Ut costs s francs.
 That same day the chemist bought the elixir wholesale, laying in fair stock of it. and meanwhile many of the confreres were doing likewise But as nobody called any more on the obllglng chemists to buy the elixir, one of the curious confraternity analysed this specific which was supposed to relieve rheumatics. He found that it was at least perfectly harmless, consisting of water colored by coffee grounds. The police were then let loose upon the la dies and the chemical agents. but they had all moved on. leaving no address. They are said to have netted about 1O,- 900 francs by the trick.
