Poverty and luxury-these are the

their Intellectual remedy-ineffectual

Poverty and luxury are twin diseases

other rendering men worthless to so

Novel crimes are occasionally COM
mitted in Paris, as, for instance: An
old gypsy woman called on a doctor
| living in the Place Pierriere and asked
him to visit her daughter, who was
lying Ill in a caravan on the fortifica-
tons near by. 81 have tried the ser
pent cure" she said, ''but there was no
result. If you will allow me to pay
your fee in advance shall be sure you
will come"
The doctor consented. and the old
woman handed him a 500 note. As
he was getting the change out Of the
safe she again mentioned the serpent
cure" and he asked her what 1t was
'This," she said, and, taking a box
from under her rags, she turned half
a dozen snakes out on the floor.
The doctor was startled and rushed
out of the room. When he returned
with a stick he found that the woman
and the snakes had vanished. while all
the money In his safe had also gone.
He still held the 500 note in his hand,
but this proved to be a forgery.
