Tricks With Coins.

To pick up a coin off the table
with the fiat 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 will then adhere.
By careful handling, a penny may
be made to stand on its edge on a slip
Of paper near the edge of a table. Puz.
Ele: 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 n to place the open
hands together, palm to palm; then
put a coin between the two third fin
gers, and double all other fingers into
the palm, still keeping the hands to-
gether. You will be surprised to find
it 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
second finger and flick the finger
smartly in the direction of the sleeve.
Place a pile of, say a dozen pen
MES, 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 a bath.
The tip was furnished by Edward
Tapeley, a negro murderer, who is
Gnder sentence to hang n week be
fore the date set for Murdaco's eXecu-
ton. Tapeley said he st%renuously OBJ
iected to confinement in the same
cell with the Italian unless "the dago
had a wash"
Murdaco was ordered to get into the
tathtub, but refused. He said he
would die first, and then six attend
ants yanked his clothes off 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
SLOWING the pores OF his skin to close
up. and for that eason refused to
wash himself.

HooDoo FAILS TO CONQUER.
Business Pluck and Persistence Win
After a Long Struggle.

Superstitious folk and unsupersti-
tious ones, too, are interested just
now in the dingy London building, 10
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 10 Fri
day street realized all its possibilities
as a "hoodoo." Several business en-
terprises in succession failed there,
and then the building stood vacant
for a number of years. Finally 1t 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. 10 and Friday.
Everybody, that is. except two young
men who had been assistants in the
Inflated bedding business. Their
lanes 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 a long one. Finally,
however, despite the fact that they
refused to employ even the ordinary
safeguard of keeping a black cat, and
depended only on hard work to
change the luck, the partners won out
and they are now one of the most
flourishing firms in the locality.
Pluck and persistence had conquer
ed the "hoodoo."
