CRIMINALS IN FRANCE.
Curious Devices Used to Land Them
Safely In Jail.

Curious Devices Used to Land Them
Safely In Jail.
Scarcely a day passes without pic
ture appearing in the French press of
a prisoner being led of TO the station
by a policeman and the description.
1.-The Apache being taken away hand
cuffed by the agents" AS matter
OF fact. handouts are altogether out OF
date in France and are never used
Instead OF the bracelets every po-
liceman carries "cabrlolet," which is
q very rough and massively made ar.
ticle resembling huge watch chain
some ten inches long with stout
wooden crossbar at either end. An
expert can slip this over the wrist OF
an offender in a twinkllng and with
both the crossbars in his hand has
only to give it twist to inhict the
most excruciating pain and compel In
slant and lamblike submission.
Another common method of prevent.
ing escape is TO make the prisoner
place both his hands In his side trouser
pockets and then pass a string around
bid him march. He can walk at a
very smart pace. but any attempt to
run out OF a shambling trot imnedi.
ately brings him down, nose to the
pavement.
If no string is handy all the brace
buttons of the trousers are cut of and
the culprit is made again to put his
hands In his pockets. As in the for
mer case, he can only walk, since so
soon as he frees his hands his neither
garments fall about his legs and he is
"entrave."
Few of these devices are apparent to
the casual passerby. who often won.
ders at the passive docility with which
some villainous looking individual un.
der arrest follows his captor to the
station. Sometimes on n country road
one may meet couple OF gendnrmes
on foot or on horseback, leading a.
prisoner between them.
This is in obedience to n quaint reg
ulation whereby prisoners are never
sent by train from place to place. as
there are no funds set apart for rail
way fares. Consequently four or five
times as much is spent in food. drink
and lodging for the escort rs would
be for the ticket. hut the regulations
are observed. In such cases the po.
lice often use the "poucettes," though
strictly speaking this instrument is
not legal.
IL is a sort OF loose thumbscrew.
which is fixed so as to keep the two
thumbs comfortably together so long
as the man does not struggle. but a
twist of the string held by one Of the
police is enough TO destroy any wish
to escape.-London Standard.

Where III. Guns Kick Hard.

Duck shooting at an altitude of A.
600 feet. on the Junin pampa, along
the shore of the lake Of that name. is
n sport that can be followed in Peru.
Very peculiar effects are noted in this
rarefied region. probably the highest
altitude for this sport in the world.
The guns kick viciously and the shot
does not scatter promptly, making
long shots successful. This phenome-
non is due to the lack of density of the
air, which is only about eight pounds
to the square inch against fifteen at
sea level. Another interesting fact is
that the ducks have no fishy taste, as
fish do not exist in this altitude.

Historic spot At Ems.

On the riverside promenade at Ems
there is n stone inscribed: "13 JUL, 1870.
0 Uhr 10 Min. Morgens." This marks
the exact spot where Wilhelm l. and
Count Benedict terminated the inter
view which led the French to declare
war. After the Franco-Prussian war
the old emperor often returned to Ems,
On one occasion his doctor mentioned
that the municipality wished to COM
memorate the interview with Benedict
q. which they considered the most
memorable event in the annals OF the
town. He was instructed 10 meet the
emperor on the promenade by the
Lain at @ a. m. the following day. VIII
helm then said: During my lifetime
let nothing be erected to recall that
sorrowful struggle. When ! am dead
do as you please. Since you wish TO
know where I dismissed Benedett IL
was here under this tree at o:10 In the
morning" And, saying this. he placed
his foot on the spot where the monu'
ment now stands.

"Mad Anthony Wayne.

The nickname of Mad Anthony" at
tached TO the name of General Wayne
of Revolutionary fame was due to no
trace of insanity. but instead to the
mans wild, reckless courage in plung
ing into battle where the odds against
him seemed hopeless. He had other
nicknames too. Dandy Wayne" was
one Of them. because of his absurd
love for wearing fine clothes in the
wilderness and in battle. The Indians
gave him the nickname of "Black
Snake" from the swift and deadlness
OF his attack. At the outbreak of the
Revolutionary war Sir Henry Clinton
said of Wayne: wherever Mad An
thony Wayne is there's always fight
That's what he is there for" And
Clinton had sufficient experience to
know whereof lie spoke.
