Business Pluck and Persistence Win
After Long Struggle.

Superstitious folk and unsupersti.
tious ones, too, are interested just
now in the dingy London building. 10
Friday street. Friday street is one of
the narrow, crooked thoroughfares of
London's ancient city"
1t would seem, of course, that there
could be no address more fatal than
this to business success, and up to a
comparatively short time ago 13 Fri
day street realized all its possibilities
as "hoodoo" Several business en-
terprises in succession failed there,
and then the building stood vacant
for a number Of years. Finally it was
reopened by a firm of bedding manu-
facturers. but they soon came to grief
and everybody in the neighborhood
was finally convinced that no under
taking could possibly resist the COM
bined influence of No. 13 and Friday.
Everybody. that is, except two young
men who had been assistants In the
ill-fated bedding business. Their
names were Haines and Stroud; they
didn't believe In omens and they made
up their minds to take over TIE ruin
ed concern.
They had little or no capital and at
first the luck set in dead against them.
The struggle was long one. Finally,
however. despite the fact that they
refused to employ even the ordinary
safeguard of keeping black cat. and
depended only on hard work to
change the luck, the partners won out
and they are now one of the most
fourishing firms in the locality.
Pluck and persistence had conquer
ed the "hoodoo."

Tricks With Coins.

To pick up a coin on the table
with the fat hand is apparently not
an easy trick. To do this, place the
hand so that the cushion of the first
finger presses well on to the coin,
which win then adhere.
BY careful handling, a penny may
be made to stand on its edge on a slip
of paper near the edge OF table. ouz-
zle: To get away the paper without
upsetting the penny. Method: With
a knife or something else that is fair
ly heavy hit the paper smartly in the
center.
Get some one to place the open
hands together, palm to palm; then
put a coin between the two third An
gers. and double all other fingers into
the palm, still keeping the hands to-
gether. You will be surprised to find
1t impossible to drop the coin without
unbending the fingers.
BY a little practice a coin may be
fiicked up the sleeve with ease. Take
the coin between the thumb and the
smartly in the direction of the sleeve.
Place pile Of say a dozen pen
nies, on a plate and challenge any one
to deposit the pile undisturbed on
the table. touching the plate only. To
do this trick raise the plate about a
foot above the table, then draw it
sharply toward you.

Saved from Suicide by Bath.


A keeper at the county Jail in Jer-
sey City made the discovery a few
days ago that Nicola Murdaco, a con-
demned Italian murderer. was in need
of bath.
The tip was furnished by Edward
Tapeley, a negro murderer, who is
under sentence to hang one week be-
fore the date set for Murdaco's execu-
ton. Tapeley said he strenuously OBJ
jected to confinement in the same
cell with the Italian unless "the dago
had q wash"
Murdaco was ordered to get into the
bathtub. but refused. He said he
would die first, and then six attend
ants yanked his clothes OF and wash
ed him Murdaco's yells were heard
in every part Of the jail. Three or
four men held him down while others
scrubbed him from head TO foot.
Murdaco tried TO kill himself the
other day by twisting and pulling his
tongue until 1t bled at the roots. The
keepers believe the Italian had an
idea that he could commit suicide by
allowing the pores OF his skin to close
up. and for that reason refused to
wash himself.

FoR PRETTY TEETS4.

Don't bestow less care upon the

Don't brush across the teeth, but up

Don't go to bed without brushing
the teeth, for 1t is at night that the
acid Of the saliva gets in its work on
the teeth.
Don't let tartar accumulate on the
teeth. for H. brings a whole train of
evils in its wake. Have 1t removed
by dentist at least once year.
Don't use tooth powder which con-
tains gritty acid or irritating sub
stances.
Don't fail to rinse the teeth thor
oughly with an alkaline wash after
taking acids, such as lemon juice,
vinegar or strong medicines.
ton. Modern cookery, by making
mastication almost unnecessary, Is
responsible for much decay of the
teeth.
Don't use one side of the mouth only
when eating, for then the teeth have
not all the same amount OF exercise,
and decay sets in more rapidly on one
side than the other.
Don't crack nuts or bite thread with
the teeth
Don't fail to ponder occasionally ON
these facts; that
Without good teeth there cannot be
thorough mastication.
Without proper mastication there
cannot be perfect digestion.
Without perfect digestion there can
not be proper assimilation.
Without proper assimilation there
cannot, be nutrition.
Without nutrition there cannot be

Without health. what is life worth?

PAUL JONES AND RUSSIA.
Navy Was In Poor Condition In Days
If Great Admiral.


A letter from st. Petersburg, which
was printed in the Gazateer and New
Daily Advertiser, an English pubica-
tion, of July s, 1888, contains an in
teresting reference to John Paul Jones
and shows, also, that it was not alone
in its war with Japan that Russia has
found its navy unprepared. Jones at
that time had left the American navy,
had served the French for a time
and then had entered the Russian SER
vice. The letter in question was dated
June 10, 1888. 1t says in part:
Though everything has been hurry
and confusion here for several weeks
past the fleet has not yet sailed. nor
is it, indeed. as yet ready; some OF
the large ships, from seventy to eighty
guns, at Kronstadt, have not 500 men
on board, and of those half at least
are landsmen, wholly unacquainted
with naval affairs.
THE vessels on the gulf at Archan.
gel and other places have been stript
for sailors, who are arrived here; but
even these have by no means equaled
the demand for the men-of-war fitting
out, which amount to twenty-three
sail, Of which seventeen are OF the
line, from sixty.six to one hundred
guns, of which last there are two. on

IN THE LITTLE WHITE BOX.
Fear Of Little Understood Terror Too
Much for Bow

One day when the tailor's wife and
her little boy went out for walk they
saw that an undertaken had moved
into the shop next door The boy
stopped and looked at the coffin in the
window.
What is that, mother?" he asked
He was very little boy and had
never seen a coffin. His mother tried
to tell him. His eyes grew big with
wonder and fear.
will they put me in the white box.
mother?" he asked.
Not il you are good" said his
mother "Only bad boys go into the
little white box"
After that the tailor's boy tried to
be very good. He did not caper noisily
about: he obeyed every command. and
at night he asked: Mother. have
been good today"
One day the tailor's boy was excep-
tionally quiet. He lay in bed almost
all day. At night great fear beset
him.
"Oh, mother" he cried. Pm afraid.
I've been good. SO good. Don't let
them put me In the little white box"
His mother tried to comfort him, but
the white box was a very palpable ter
ror, and he could not get away from 1t.
Three days later a crowd OF people
came to the tailor's house. They
were dressed in black and came In
carriages. The tailors little boy was
there. but he did not see them. He
had gone into the little white box

Noble Example.

A little touch of noble life. like this
described by the New York CONNER
cial, ought to have wide influence:
"A story is told by Robert Ogden
about friend of his. not long dead
who held securities in a certain rail
road. Being told. and from source
to leave no doubts, that the road was
about to collapse, he refused to SELL
not wishing to shift the loss upon a
purchaser. He had no large amount
Of money. but he was rich in some
thing better. With all the venal trick
cry that is being exposed. 1t is refresh
