Wales is troubled by another called the
'flying fox pest." This creature is a
'species of but, the largest of the bat

feet in expanse of wings, and is popular
ly termed the flying fox on account of
the red, foxlike color of the fur and "the

bition the Nuremberg collection of instru.

which Is now
owned by an Eng
lish nobleman. It
fticlutles tbe most
Jnueiilotis contri
vance for cruelty
that was ever con
structed. This la
the "Iron Maiden"

mixed emotions

fiendish machine.

THK IKON MAIDEN.
the genuine, ongl
nal snd only maiden of her kind, and it was
in the tight embrace of these very pieces of
wood and iron that many a man endured
the slow agony of death from pricking,
pain and starvation.
The accompanying sketch shows the
Maiden in the torture chamber of Nurem
berg castle. Such a chamber, by the way,
could easily be built in Chicago, so that
the collection might be viewed with the ad
vantages of appropriately lugubrious sur
roundings. In tbe picture the Maiden is
empty that is, ready for her victim. The
condemned man is placed inside by opening
wide t he doors which the artist has sbowu
slightly ajar. Standing upright his face
fits into the mask at the top. Then the
doors are closed and clamped together.
The entire Interior is fitted withsharp iron
spikes that are forced by the closing doors
into various parts of the victim's body.
Two of them enter his eyes, others bis
back, his chest, his arms and legs just far
enough to cause excruciating agony, but
not far enough to reach any vital organ.
The victim cannot stir if he would, so firm
Is the Maiden's embrace. He simply stand"
there impaled twenty times over until ex
haustion stops the sense of pain forever
Then the executioners let fall a trapdoor
beneath the Maiden's skirts, the lacerated
body drops from the spikes into the river
flowing beneath and the Maiden is ready
for another.
But though the Iron Maiden is the most
famous machine of its kind, there are
many others that equal it. In England
nearly every form of torture was applied in
the good old days when America was young
and Chicago a wild waste that howled not,
and the noble earl has gathered together
upward of 600 different instruments under
his roof, besides a larger number of quaint
engravings and pictures, all pertaining to
the same subject. Everybody has a rather
distinct notion of such simple devices as the
rack, the thumbscrew, the wheel, but few
of us have ever seen them. Here are the
real things, every article in the collection
being genuine aud many of them showing
marks of frequent use. Not all of them
are so horrible as the few noted above.
There are, for instance, all manner of con
trivances, the application of which would
not be physically painful, however pride
might suffer from them, for the punish
ment of scolding wives, habitual drunk
ards, slanderers, etc. But most of them
involve cruel suffering, and when it comes
to that one would find little choice between
the Iron Maiden, the rack, the iron horse
in whose belly people were roasted to
death, or the barrel with spikes protruding
inward in which a man might be put and
rolled down bill.
Among minor features iu the collection
are several executioners' swords and axes,
a wooden roller with spikes, which was
pushed back and forth over the victim s
naked body sometimes to vary the monot
ony they rolled the body over the spikes-
heavy whips with steel bar 09 woven Into
every lash, an iron mail chain glove, which
was heated red hot before it was put 011;
several ingenious gags, a pair of tongs,
constructed for the purpose of tearing out
a prisoner's tongue; pinching shears, toe
pressors, the oldest known thumbscrew
with which such great pressure was exert
ed that the screw passed clear through the
thumb; a copper boot, to be filled before
wearing with molten lead, and so on and
on through the hundreds of instruments,
each designed to inflict pain on a different
Ertion of the body or in a way peculiar to
elf.
SHARP SWINDLERS.
Some of the Hindoos' Methods for De
frauding tbe Sailors.
It is doubtful if any race of swindlers
can quite equal tbe Asiatic, says a recent
writer. Tbe smile, which is childlike and
bland, of the accomplished Chinaman,
often masks a profundity of cunning and a
dexterity in fraud that the Caucasian
cannot rival. Even the mild Hindoo has a
faculty for fraud that is not always sus
pected. In the bazaars of Calcutta and Bombay
the vilest poison is sold to tbe English sail
ors as whisky or brandy in bottles branded
with a reliable dealer's name. Jack pays
tbe price of tbe genuine article, but is sup
plied with a villainous compound of native
concoction.
The dealer knows the value of brands.
He lays in a stock of the genuine bottles
and never disturbs labels or capsules. By
the skillful application of the blowpipe he
drills a small hole in the bottom of the bot
tle, draws off all the genuine liquid, re
places it with his poisonous stuff, closes up
the hole so that no trace remains and
palms off the bottle on unsuspecting Jack
as real "Martell" or "fine old Irish." The
abstracted liquor will, of course, always
sell on its own merits elsewhere.
Another ingenious device of the mild
Hindoo is to drill a bole in tbe edge of
a runee. and tben scrape out the silver
from the inside, leaving only a sort of
shell, without damaging tbe Impression
on the rim. Lead is then poured gently
in. mixed with some alloy which gives the
requisite ring, and the bole is carefully
closed.
Only a keen and experienced eye can de
tect the imposture. The silver which is
thus abstracted will be worth nearly a
shilling, and the manipulator has still his
mpee to spend. But the operation may
occupy him the greater portion of a week,
during which time he might have earned
two ruoees by honest work.
In fact, it may be said that if all tbe
ingenuity and talent which are applied to
swindles were directed to legitimate enos,
the rewards would be both greater and
more continuous than in the precarious
and hazardous harvests of fraud. Leaving
out of sight the moral question, it is indis
putably the fact that honest labor pays

Illustration of Faith and Works,
A Presbyterian minister in Scotland

while crossing a river about faith and

out works was enough. "Na, na," retorted
tbe boatman with much seriousness,

"Now." said the boatman, "let's tak'
'works' next," and rowing with it alone
the boat went round the other way.
"We will noo," continued the boatmah,
"tak' 'faith' an 'works' thegither. Noo,"

"You'll have to make a slight change iu

"Howl",
"You've hung It top to bottom. "
"I have, ehf I'll bet you $10,000,000 to a
cent I haven't,"
"Well, look at the knob and tbe catch and
moldings on the panels."
He was fairly beaten, and he realised it,
but Instead of acknowledging tbe com he
looked at it for a moment aud theu quietly
said:
"l slipped it on that way to sea If you
would uotice it, but you'd have let it pass if I
hadnt called your attention to it 1"
In the course of half au hour he made the
change and was putting on tbe spring when
I came back. Ho had never put a spring 00
a door in bis life, and it would uot have de
tracted from bis dignity to ask my advice,
but he would have died first. He measured
for it and began to bore a hole for the screen,
After be bad worked for two or three min
utes I asked:
"Mr. Bowser, which way are you turning
that cimlet?"
"What do you mean!" ho demanded, as he
stopped work. '
"You bare been turning to the left."
"Of course 1 ha vol Whoever heard of
turning a boring tool any other wayP

way and not accomplish anythlug. That

" W ill you turn to the right r
"No, ma'am 1"
He bored and bored, determined not to
cive bt. and at length 1 pushed him aside,
and turned tbe gimlet to the right snd had
it into the wood in 00 time.
"Didn't 1 tell you so. Mr. Bowserf
"Well, the man who made that gimlet de
serves state prisoul It's the first one I ever
saw that turned to tbe right, and i bad seen
millions of them before you were born."
'Can you put the spring on alone!"
'Mrs. Bowser," he answered, after glaring
at me in a chilled steel way for half a min
ute, "perhaps I ought to be in the idiot asy
lum, and perhaps 1 do know enough to come
in when it rains. You will oblige me very
much by going into the house and knocking
that squalling young 'un on the head."
It was half an hour before 1 dared make
an excuse to get out again. By that time
Mr. Bowser bad the spring on, but tbe door
stood 0111 instead of shut. He was standing
in a deep study.
'1 know what ails it, Mr. Bowser."
'How shrewd!"
'When you tightened the spring up you
turned it to the right. That throws tbe door
open. 11 you 11 tiguten to tne leit, tne uoor
will spring shut,"
He sat down on the steps and looked at me
with twelve different shades of Irony and sar
casm in bis expression, and finally deigned to
reply t
"Where old you learn au you knowi"
"Will you fix that spring as 1 tall youf
"No, ma'am, I won't!... lve been looking it

"I can make that spring work on thlsdoor."
"Mrs. Bowser, i wouldn't have your con

1 grabbed the wrench from bis hands, loos
ened tbe soring and then turned it the other
