A whimsical Wager.

A young Austrian nobleman, who
had the reputation of being a brilliant
talker, made a wager with a CLUB friend
that during the first year of his mar
riage with the daughter of a certain
count he would preserve rigid silence
when in her presence, and, in fact,
would not speak a single word to her.
This resolution he faithfully kept; but,
owing to the fact that the wager was
not made public. some very curious con-
sequences ensued.
His wife. believing him to be insane,
privately sent brain specialist to ex-
anime the taciturn gentleman. He was

CONJURED A TREATY.
How HOudin. the Magician, Awed the
Arabs Into Submission.

During the French conquest of Al
geria (1S30- S33) negotiations for peace
were entered upon with the sheiks of
certain Arab tribes. and a meeting for
the settlement of terms was arranged to
take place at the French headquarters
The French officers received their guests
with great hospitality, and after the
banquet given in their honor. at which
the utmost splendor was employed. in
order to dazzle their eyes and captivate
their simple minds. an adjournment
was made to a large hall. where NJ
Houdin. the celebrated conjurer. who
had accompanied the French forces,
gave an exhibition of his skill.
They stared in open mOuthed wonder
at all the tricks that were performed,
and feeling of awe crept over them as
they witnessed the mysterious appear
ance and disappearance of various OBJ
jects. But what appeared to them most
marvellous was the apparent manufac-
ture of cannon balls NJ. Houdin passed
round among them high hat, which
they examined very carefully. but with
ont suspecting anything unusual in Ell
ther its make or its appearance When
the hat was returned to him the con-
jurer placed it on the floor in the mid
die of the stage in full view of his au
dience. He then proceeded to take from
the hat cannon balls apparently with
out number and rolled them across the
floor into the wings. With this the per-
fOrmance terminated
The chiefs then consulted among
themselves and came to the conclusion
that it was useless TO offer any opposi-
tion to an army that could turn out its
ammunition in so easy manner. They
therefore signed the required treaty and
departed to tell their friends in the
desert of the wonderful power of the
invaders. s.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

HE BREADS A RAZOR.
And lie Has Good RensOn to After
His Narrow Escape.


There is a physician now stopping
Mt this house. remarked the proprietor
of one of the hotel barber shops, "wlo
has a mortal dread of razor in the
hands of another. 1t originated in "a re-
markable experience Some years ago
he was in town in Iowa and stepped
into "A barber shop to get shaved. All

bers called Next = and he was getting

grateful if yOu would allow me to take

"Such requests are not unusual. and
the doctor who Is naturally obliging,
told him to go ahead and resumed his
seat The other man had hardly climbed
into position when the barber picked
mp a razor and cut his throat from ear

I'm spite of stories to the contrary, |
think that is the only case of the kind
that ever happened in the United
States. The barber turned ont to be in
sane, but the horror of the scene and
the almost miraculous character of his
own escape made such an impression
on the mind of the doctor that he has
never since allowed anybody to shave
him.
{ "Only this morning trimmed his
hair, and in finishing the job | started,
as is customary. to shape up the growth
of his temples with the corner of my
razor The moment he caught sight of
the blade he turned pale as death
