CLOTHES AND THE MAN.
A Boy Taught a Valuable Truth
Which He StiH Remembers.

| Which He StiII Remembers.
| ''You can't Judge man by the
clothes he wears" said Edward III.
Hill. Twenty years ago my father
had jewelry store In Sniithfield street,
and I was employed as, boy of all work.
One evening poorly dressed, rough
| looking man came into the store, and
| my father, thinking he was after aims,
| told me to see what he wanted I
stepped up and was about to tell him
| we could do nothing for him, when In
gruff voice he asked to look at
gold watch" says a Pittsburg ex-
| change. If
81 was completely surprised and
thought / would cut his curiosity short
by showing him one of the most ex-
pensive timepieces we had. He took
the@watch, examined it in detail and
asked If that was the best we had On
being told it was valued at $15O he
said 1t would do. You can imagine my
surprise. had never made a big sale
before.
"'Now, sonny said the man, have
watch? | showed him one Of our heav-
lest gold chains. He then wanted to
look at watch charms and selected
good locket. He put the iocket on the
chain, fastened the chain to the watch,
put them all in his pocket and asked
me what the damages were.
Two hundred and fifty dollars l
replied, expecting to see him hand
back the goods. Instead he ioosened
his vest and, reaching into leather
belt around his waist, drew out a num-
Der Of large gold nuggets, gold coins
and several valuable stones He count
ed the amount of his bill and started
to leave the store. Upon reaching the
door he turned and in gruff but ear
nest voice said: e4 &
Say, my boy, Kinney is my name
NJ. p. Kinney. l am miner just re-
turned to the east from diggin's in Cal
Hernia. / have been in Pittsburg all
day and tried to buy this outfit at sew
eral jewelry stores, but you are the first
person who has treated me like man." !"
A gray haired man. bowed with age,
whose wrinkled face showed the eff.
fects of exposure to sun and wind,
stepped from Baltimore and Ohio
train from the west the other morning
and walked slowly up Smithfield
street. Stepping into Mr. Hills store,
he laid gold watch ON the counter.
"Say, mister" he said in a feeble
voice, my name is Kinney--M. P. KIN
neys of California. Here's watch /
bought here twenty years ago. and, be-
in around these parts again, thought
I'd just drop in and see IL the piece
needs cleanin'. have been all over the
country since bought that watch, and
it's more'n likely got little dust In II"
Mr.. Hill took the watch and, shaking
hands with the old man, told him Of
how, twenty years ago, in the garb Of
a California miner, he impressed upou
him the truth Of the old saying, You
can't judge man by the clothes he
wears

MAGIC MIRRORS,
How instruments Used by Magicians
and Swindlers Are Made.

and swindlers Are Made.
The aphorism of Barnum that thu
public loves to be humbugged finds l.
Iustration in the success Of the oculisiS
in this country who sell magic MT
rors" to credulous individuals for 81
| and $40 which cost one-tenth thoss
figures.
Some of these charlatans with suit
lime assurance have called the law tc
their aid to protect them from rivals
or, it may be, to add prestige to their
merchandise, as several of the mirrors
are, or claim to be, covered by letters
patent, copyright or trademarks
The mirror, makers can justify their
calling with precedents number1ess
The belief that bit of bright metal or
glass could be so charged by the black
art that it would reflect in visible form
the invisible things or beings about US
is as old as civilization. Egypt and
Babylon, Persia and India, Japan and
China, have made and used these oc-
cult instruments from early times.
Those which are made in the far east
possess qualities which at one time
were puzzling. but which, when the
secret was discovered, were found in
genious utilizations of optical laws.
The simplest is the Japanese lucky
mirror, fair model of which the writ
er saw in Broadway shop a couple
of days ago. This is fiat plate and
handle made of metal resembling
steel. One side is so highly FURNISHED
that it reflects as well as the best sill
yer backed looking glass The reverse
is chased in low relief with figures of
vines, birds, clouds and ideographs or
talismans. When employed in the usu-
al fashion, it does not differ from an
ordinary mirror, but when a large
beam of light is thrown upon it and re-
fected upon dark wall or ceiling in
the reflected circle appears luminous
face, telegraph or other figure The
result is secured in the original weld
ing or casting of the mirror, when
piece Of metal of different composition
shaped like the figure it is to produce
Is fused into the circumjacent mass.
a similar effect is produced in sill
vered mirrors by just laying on the re-
flecting character in one kind of tinfoil
and filling in the rest of the surface
with foil of the same appearance, but
different rejecting quality. Akin to
this style of work are the magic lac
quers which at certain obiique angles
disclose figures and lines which are in
visible when looked upon at right an
giles to the laequer's surface oldest
Of the oriental mirrors are those set at
the bottom Of a cylinder or truncated
cone whose surface is waved or undu-
lating. The base reflects in ordinary
the sides in such a fashion as
to produce foci or focal circles at rari-
GUS points. From one point of view
the locker sees faint halo about his |
face at the bottom of the cylinder;
from second point "A misty human
face alongside OF his own: from third |
a face looking at him through his re-
deeted eyes.
The principle which underIies these |
odd images is the same as that used |
by Cooke and Maskelyne in London in
producing their GHOSTS" and seems to
have been employed with great skill |
by Cagliostro in the eighteenth cen
tury.-New York Post.

A Historic Bible.

Asa w. Waters of Philadelphia has
presented the Bible of his pilgrim an
cestor, Governor Bradford, to the Pill
grim Society OF Plymouth. This his
toric, Bible was printed in London in
1892 and was taken to Holland by VIII
liam Bradford when the pilgrims emf
grated to that country early in the sew
enteenth century. In 1920 it was
brought over in the Mayflower and
used as family Bible by Governor
Bradford until his death in 1867, when
it became the property of his son Jo-
seph, whose name, with the others of
his family. is written on the fly leaf.
The order in which 1t was handed
down from that time follows: From
Joseph Bradford to his son Elisha
then to Alice Bradford. daughter of
Elisha, who in 1851 married ZebuIon
Waters of Stoughton, Mass; then to
their eldest son, Captain Asa Waters,
who fought valiantly x the Revoiu
ton: then to his grandson, Asa Brad
ford Waters of Marietta. O. Asa W
Waters of Philadelphia Inherited t.
