The Story Of . Picture.

1t is said that French painter
one day visited the Salon in Paris
in company with friend who was
member Of the committee OF Sc
lection and who had been instru
mental in securing the acceptance
of the painters work. When the
lrtist came near his picture he ex-
claimed: "Good gracious! You are
exhibiting my picture the wrong
side up" "lIush," was the reply.

THE rARALY1,c DODGE.
Effective curs For an impester In N,
English Prison.


Paralysis is often initiated by
beggars and SO closely that there is
no detecting the imposition. A fell
low is directed how to hang his
wrist loosely down, dropping the
fingers of one hand, and to drag the
limbs in such manner US to imi.
tate a paralytic stroke to the life.
He is drilled up to the proper bust
ness mark by marching him around
the beggars' kitchen for hours at a
stretch and night after night. This
is continued until the patient can
bear sudden and unexpected prick
with q needle or even the touch of II
.redhot iron without relapsing into
his normal attitude.
Not many years ago one of these
mock paralytics, who was accustom-
ed to throw off his seeming intirmi-
ty and play the burglar by way of
change, was caught in the very act
of breaking into house and com
mitted for trial. Here he got up
such a semblance of hopeless paraly-
sis as deceived everybody. When
the trial came on he was carried
into the court on stretcher and
laid at full length in the dock.
Everybody, including the judge and
jury. commiserated the case, and
he escaped with one years imprison-
ment instead of long term of
penal servitude.
The doctor of the prison to
which the convict was next trans
ferred felt sure that the whole thing
was sham and tried all the or
dinary methods of detection, in
Guiding liberal use of the galvanic
battery. but without effect. At
length great heap of damp straw
was collected in the Jail yard. and
the scoundrel, still stretched on his
pallet, which he never quilted, was
placed thereon. The straw was
fired on all sides, throwing out a
little flame and dense volumes OF
choking smoke. This did the busl-
ness, and quickly too. In less than
minute the paralytic astonished
everybody but the doctor by bounc-
ing out OF the straw with the agili-
tv of Il deer.
The game is up!" he exclaimed,
with a laugh. when he had done
coughing, adding in tone of tri-
umph, "Anyhow, l have cheated the
law out of six years."
The torture such people iniict on
themselves for weeks and months at
time and voluntarily is simply in
credible.-Pearson's Weekly.

No Use For Thorn.

An old North sea skipper who
was asked to buy a number of life
belts for his vessels use waxed elo-

tempt. "Take 'em away" said the

longshore rubbish on my decks. 1

smelling salts, nor no eau de cologne,
nor no feeding bottles or fans
aboard of me. Them as sails in my

The Grab ~ q Fisherman.

The crab sometimes catches fish.
and it catches it without hook and
