Leper Proof Against Electricity.
"Down at Honolulu," said Harry Dia
mond, "1 had a battery and worked the
Innocent Kanakas with the old trick of the
fire dollar gold piece. That is, I'd place
the piece in the bottom of a jar of water,
connected with the battery. Then I'd tell
the native boys that they could have the
money if they'd pick it out of the jar and
hold the handle on the other pole of the
battery at the same time. Of course the
moment their bands struck the water the
circuit was completed, their fingers would
be doubled np and they couldn't touch the
money if their fortunes had depended on
getting it. I had many a laugh and
achieved quite a reputation among the
boys as a wizard who controlled the devils
in the water.
"One day when several young ladies
were in the office a lad came in, pushed on
by a number of companions who had at
tempted to secure the five dollars and
failed. He had been persuaded to try for
the money, and I explained the trick to the
ladies in an aside as I arranged the ap
paratus. The boy took the handle, and we
all prepared for a great laugh. .
"He pat bis band into the water, slowly
drew out my fiver and quietly walked off
with it, while I stood with my month
open, afraid to face those girls, and pray
ing for a volcanic eruption to tarn the
trend of thought.

Silver Instead of China.
"When I married," says a bride of a few
months, "an aunt gave me a sum of money
to pot in a china dinner set. Instead, I
put it in silver dishes, and I think I was
very wise. I bought a lovely soap tureen,
two vegetable dishes, with covers that
turn into dishes if yon want them, so I can
have four uncovered dishes or one covered
and two uncovered, as I need, and three
platters. Of course plates I had to bay
extra, but I got only half a dozen of each
soap, breakfast, dinner and dessert to
begin with, and am adding to them as I
can. '
"The silver is easily kept bright, is un
breakable and will wear Indenniteiy.
There is the danger of denting it, to be
sure, but the pieces are so few they are
washed separately and with great care,
and I think will outlast many rounds of
china ones, and they certainly give a de
lightful air of glitter to our modest board."

Writing on Wood.
Some oersons are of the opinion that the
Bret writing was upon thin pieces of wood.
From their convenience this seems proba
ble. Such boards were used at an early
period by the Greeks and Romans, and
were frequently covered with wax, which
was, of course, more easily written upon
than the bare wood. Where wax was used
errors were readily erased by rubbing with
the blunt end of the piece of metal which
served for a pen. To make the writing
more visible It appears that some black
substance was smeared over the surface of
the white wax and remained in the
scratched marks. New York World.

All Fools' Day.
The origin of this day of practical

the custom has been traced to the scene
in the life of Jesus when he was sent
from Pilate to Herod, then back from
Herod to Pilate, which occurred at this
time. ' Away back Dearly a hundred
years in the ClaVis Caleudaria, mention
is made of the first of April as "All

Tvs Blades' Swords That Are Valuable
Cnrioeltlee Weapons That Display - a
High Degree of Workmanship -Terrl-ale
Looking Daggers.
Though Dr. Bedloe, the United States
consul to Amoy, China, has started back
to his .post after his leave of absence,
yet through the delays Incident to the
hipping of goods from such far off
lands and in getting them through the
custom house, some of his most inter
esting and valuable relics arrived only
a few days ago.
In his room at the Bellevue a reporter
found the genial consul resting coutent
edlv after his breakfast, as his eye roved
contemplatively over a number of the
most deadly and awful weapons ever
conceived or executed by man. When
asked about these curiously ugly swords
the doctor said:
. "1 was asked to execute a commission
for the Rev. Dr. C M. Shepherd, the
distinguished Nebraska divine, a gentle
man, who though a man of peace, has
one of the finest, if not the very best,
collections of swords and other weapons
in the world. This led to my examining
several hundred rare and curious weap
ons sent me for inspection and approval,
and these are a few of those I selected,
fifo two are alike, and not one but what
displays rare skill and inventive power
on the part of the Chinese swordsmith.
"The handsomest of all is a general's
saber, about i4 feet long, slightly Jap
anese in style, with an edge like a razor
and a point that would extort admira
tion from Colonel Jack Chin, of Louis
ville. Unlike our own, the thickest part
of the blade is the center. This gives
great weight to the weapon, joined to
the appearance of extreme lightness.
The scabbard is made of hard, tongh
wood, lacquered to represent black iron
incrusted with mother-of-pearl. The
hilt is of black iron, molded in the form
of a full blown rose, the petals of which
have been drilled with small holes and
these filled with bright brass bars.
"The most curious of the lot to my
eye is the so called warrior's two bladed
(word from Ho-nan. It is only about
two feet long and in the scabbard looks
very like the sword bayonet of our own
army. The scabbard is plain but very
neat and covered with white shagreen
or sharkskin and trimmed with brass
mountings. When you draw it the
blade divides into two, each a facsimile
of the other, double edged and spear
pointed. The twin blades have a re
markable decoration made by drilling
seven holes about an inch and a half
and put in a zigzag line from hilt to
point. These are tilled with pure cop
per, which is ground down to form a
smooth surface flush with the steel and
polished to brightness.
"These seven stars, as they are called.
are found in nearly all the martial
weapons of Ho-nan and are relics of the
old astrologio faith that still prevails in
many parts of China. Its hold is so
strong that if the copper falls ont of one
of the sword holes it is accepted as a
sure precursor of death, and the luckless
wielder of the blade usually commits
suicide to escape further trouble.
"The short stabbing daggers which
find favor chiefly with pirates and revo
lutionists, form a strong contrast with
the weapons described. They are gen
erally so ngly that they would be ludi
crous were it not for the purposes to
which they are applied. I have one
which looks like a queerly made ace of
spades fastened into a wire bound han
dle. To increase the artistic effect of
the weapon, the armorer has hollowed
ont a shallow, spoon shaped concavity
on either side of the blade and filled it
in with blood red lacquer, the effect of
which when suddenly drawn from a
black sheath is very startling. Spades
are not the only suit in the pack that is
popular in the Mongolian mind. I have
another weapon whose blade is a perfect
ace of diamonds.
"Still another dagger is about the
clumsiest affair of the kind 1 ever han
dled. The blade is a foot long, about
three inches wide and half an inch
thick. With its heavy brass hilt and
gigantic guard it weighs over three
pounds. If set with a long handle it
could be used as an ax. It is used chief
ly by the Black Flags and other Celes
tial ontlaws, who, in addition to using
it in the ordinary manner, throw it with
fatal precision.
. "The ex-resident of Tonquin told me
that during the late war be had known
instances in which the knives were
thrown with such force thst they would
go through a man's body and show two
inches of bloody steel beyond his back.
The handles of many of these instru
ments of death are finished with what
we call pistol grips. -
'"The most dreadful looking weapon
of all was the executioner's sword need
by the late headsman of Amoy. It is of
Manchurian type, being long, almost
straight, very heavy and keenly edged,
(t is used with one hand and is shaped
and wound so as to give the executioner
a powerful hold upon his weapon. Upon
the blade near the hilt are Chinese char
acters recording the tragic events in
which it has taken active part My in
terpreter told me that they record no
less than 193 human lives which it has
taken out of this world. - This record
enhances its value. A new sword of
the same kind could be bought for ten
or twelve dollars, but for this sword
with its ghastly history the thrifty
broker wanted $200 cash.
, "He evidently thought, although it
came high, 1 must have it, and accord
ingly raised the ante. He was avery
heartbroken creature when 1 returned it
with the editorial line so familiar to the
spring poet, 'Declined with thanks.' A
word of caution as to these oriental
swords and daggers. Very many of them
are poisoned, so that a mere scratch will
cause death. The venom is produced by
steeping the blade in decayed human
blood, and is one of the deadliest known
to physiological science." Philadelphia
Times. -
' Purdue's Novel Methods.
Although Purdue nnlversity, in Lafa
yette, Ind., is not noted as one of the very
great educational institutions of America,
it has some novel methods of instruction
which might profitably be adopted by some
of the older colleges which perhaps have
greater reputations. In the engineering
laboratory, for Instance, there is a com
plete locomotive, the workings of which
are minutely explained to the students.
Likewise in the other laboratories there
are many pieces of complete machinery,
and on the farm attached there are blooded
horses and stock of all kinds. Purdue, in
fact, seems to be a kindergarten of a larger

HOW SMS EARNED HER CAR FARE.
A Woman's Ingenious Device for Making
Money When Bhe Was Hard Up,
A woman who is now one of the most
promising artists in this city, and was
lucky enough to got two of her pictures
accepted by the Academy, told' this story
of how she earned her first few pennies
in this big town:
"When 1 came here five years ago I
had just twenty-five dollars in my pock
et I got a room or rather a cubby
bole next to the roof in a boarding
bouse on Fourth avenue. It was three
weeks before 1 got anything to do. Then
a place was offered to me as a primary
teaoher iu a private school. The salary
when you got it was fair enough in
amount But unfortunately you didn't
get it until the end of the month.
"tsy tins time there was sucu a tre
mendous hole in my twenty-five dollars
that I couldn't afford to move up town.
The expresaage alone would have made
a bankrupt of uie, for I had absolutely
come to such a pass that I hadu't enough
money lo pay my car fare to the school
and back, I expluined the situation to
the landlady. She really was a dear old
thing. She told me I wasn't to worry
about my board bill. She was perfectly
willing to wait for her money until the
end of the month.
"That was one weight off my mind
of course, but I had still to grapple with
the car fare problem. 1 was in a dread
ful pickle really. For four days 1
walked every inch of the way Ihf miles
each journey. I used to leave the house
at 7 in the morning so as to reach the
school promptly at 0.
"Then 1 found that my French heels
were beginning to give out, so I saw
that my efforts to save money by pedes
trianism would only get me into deeper
water. Suddenly I had an inspiration.
"There were three old maiden suiters
who occupied the double bedded room
on the second floor. They were with
out exception the fattest women 1 ever
saw. The most etherial of the three
weighed 800 it she weighed a pound.
They were all saleswomen in one of the
bit; Sixth avenue stores, ihoy used to
scramble down to breakfast in the morn
ing in a fluster at the last moment
One of them confided to me that it
was their shoes which always delayed
them. They almost expired every morn
ing in their attempts to button them.
She told me in a tone of the utmost
resignation that eventually she expected
their shoes would be the death of all
three of them. Well, what do you sup
pose 1 did? I took that woman aside
and I said to her: 'Kow look here, I'll
make a bargain with you. 1 want to
make a little extra money just now, for
1 am dreadfully hard up. If you and
your two sisters will each pay me
twenty cents a week I II come and but
ton your shoes for yon every morning.'
The poor old things fairly lumped at
the offer. They insisted on paying my
first week's salary sixty cents in ad
vance. It left we ten cents to the good
you see, because on Saturday there was
no school. Alter the brat week they in
sisted on raising my salary to an even
quarter from each. Well, 1 buttoned
their shoes regularly for two months.
Then 1 had to resign my position, as 1
was moving to a boarding house up
town.
"When 1 bade them goodby the poor
old things actually cried over me, and
presented me with the loveliest little
silver buttonhook you ever saw. ' I sent
them tickets for the private view the
other night They all came, fatter than
ever, and went into ecstacies over my
pictures. The eldest one told me with
tears in her eyes that ever since 1 left
them they had been obliged to abandon
button shoes. 'Now, my dear,' she said
with a huge sigh of regret, 'we can wear
nothing but elastic sides.' " New York

Breaking 'dp n Witness.
In no way can barristers better display
their acuteness than by seeing at aglance
the character of the witnesses they are
about to examine and by treating them
accordingly. Erskine was famous at
this. In a case in which he was en
gaged a commercial traveler came into
the witness box dressed in the height of
fashion and wearing a starched white
necktie folded in the Brummel fold. In
an instant Erskine knew his man, thongh
he had never seen him before, and said
to him, with aa air of careless amuse
ment, "You were born and bred in Man
chester, 1 perceive." Greatly aston
ished at this opening remark, the man
admitted that he was. "Exactly," ob
served the great cross examiner, in a
conversational tone; "1 knew it from
the absurd tie of your neckcloth."
The roars of laughter coming from
every person in the court, with the sin
gle exception of the unfortunate witness
which followed this rejoinder com
pletely effected Erskine's purpose, which
was to put the witness in a state of agi
tation and confusion before touching on
the facts concerning which he had come
to give evidence. London Illustrated
News. '
Theories and Children.
The very children of today are afflicted
with theories. "Hurry, mamma," said
a seven-year-old youngster passing an
alley whence issued a bad smell, "we'll
get a disease." If the little folks have
taken to a knowledge of and dread of
microbes and bacteria life must be a
burden to them. It takes all the adult
philosophy one has to bear up against
the horrors which, according to this and
that authority, are ever lying in wait
for us. It is a pity that the children
should walk under the same shadow.

Were the Louisiana State Lottery Com-
