A REAL MAGIC CAP.
Curious Experience Of German Or
qanist In St. Petersburg.


Not very long ago a German organ
list who went to st. Petersburg to live
had there an experience with a new
cap that for time almost made him
believe in the magic of the Teutonic
fairy tales.
The organist bought the cap during
his first day at the Russian capital and
wore it the next day when he went out
for walk On his return to his lodg-
ings he was amazed to find two gold
purses in his pocket, one of which con-
tanned a sum equivalent to $50.
The next day, after his usual walk,
he found four purses in his outside
pocket, a find that caused him to doubt
his senses. A third day, with SINH
lar profitable result, sent him to the
chief Of police to tell his story.
The authorities detailed detective
to go with the German to the tailor
who made the cap. Investigation dis
closed the fact that it had been con-
structed Of an odd piece Of English
cloth brought in by a stranger. From
it the tailor had made fifteen identical
caps to order. Having bit left, he
had constructed a sixteenth cap, which
was the one sold to the organist.
The detective then followed the or
ganist through the streets of the city,
when the mystery was solved. The
cap, it appears, was the emblem Of a
gang of pickpockets working cooper
atively. The one who secured purse
dropped it into the pocket Of the first
confederate he saw. The cap had iden'
tilted the German, and he had reaped
the reward.
With this clew It was an easy matter
for the Russian authorities to catch
the whole gang.-Youth's Companion.

\ From the researches made by II.
Thirria come some interesting details
Of the escape Of Louis Napoleon from
the fortress Of Ham. In northern
France, on May %, 1846.
q It seems that theisole credit for the
escape must lie with Louis Napoleon
himself. He made his valet, Thelin.
buy q black wig, some rouge. a cap
which was scrubbed with pumice
stone and pair of sabots. Then he
cut or his mustache, put on blue
apron, a blue pair of trousers and
close fitting shirt Of coarse stun.
Some workmen were carrying out
some repairs to that part Of the fort
ress where the prince lodged. and this
gave color to his disguise, SO much so
that the two watchmen entertained no
suspicious regarding the man who
walked past them and out at the great
gate, a pipe in his mouth and plank
on his shoulder. The sergeant on
duty at the drawbridge was reading
letter as he passed and took no notice
of him. 1t was then 5 o'clock ip the
morning.
Four times that day, the last time
at in the afternoon, did the governor,
Demarle, send for the prince. Each

WHITE WINGED PEACE.
A Great Scheme For Avertine Wars In
tho Future.

A Great Scheme For Avertins Wars In
tho Future.
Writing on the difficulties of putting
IN end to war, F. P. Dunno says in the
Metropolitan:
It Is an interesting theory that 1t is
not tough minded old statesmen who
drive tender youth to war. It is youth
itself which tugs on the leash and pulls
the unwilling statesmen. We can well
believe that this is so. The courage Of
youth is pure fearlessness. The young
are not afraid Of death. They regard
q a. something that cannot possibly
happen to them. They apprehend it in
tellectually, but they do not feel it;
hence we propose to our fellow peace
commissioners this plan for averting
wars In future.
In nearly every country there is
maximum Of age limit for enlistment
or CONSUMPTION. 1t is in the neighbor-
hood Of forty years. Now. why. in
the interests of peace, would 1t not be
we'll to make minimum age limit in
stead7 Suppose we say that on the
inst call only men over sixty could be
drafted, and on the second only men
over fifty. and on the third only men
ever forty, and no man under forty
could be permitted to fight.
How long then would wars continue2
Tho Arst call would be answered BY .
STERN Of Doctors certificates. the Sec
cd BY the prompt, suspension OF all
hanks, and on the third call body
oR resolute patriots who had long been
CONSCIOUS that death regarded them
W1stfully would proceedfat once to the
palace or White House or ministry OF
foreign affairs and lynch the king,
president or minister who proposed
this outrage on civilization.
