WORKING A SWINDLE.
Clever Scheme Carried Through by a
Plausible Woman.
An elegantly dressed Spanish lady
one day visited a specialist In mental
diseases In Madrid on behalf of her
husband, who, she said, was a sufferer
from religious mania, naving explain
ed tbe case, it was arranged that she
should return in about an hour with
the afflicted busband.
The lady’s next scene of action was
■ jeweler's shop In another part of tbe
city, where «he select«! diamonds to
the value of >5.000 on tbe understand
ing that she would buy them If her
husband approved. Would some one
accompany her home in a cab and the
money would be paid Immediately? A
trusted clerk was sent, and with him
tbe lady drove back to tbe doctor's
house. In an anteroom she took the
stones "just to show than to her hus
band." Then, entering with sublime
assurance the doctor's study, she in
formed the specialist that her husband
was now in the anteroom and ready to
be examined.
Leaving a visiting card, the lady took
her departure, and the doctor, bidding
the supposed patient enter, proceeded
at his leisure to ask professional ques
tions. The jeweler's man was puzzled
at first, but soon he realized that he
had bee^ made tbe victim of a clever
fraud. The doctor, however, interpret
ed his agitation as cantred hy his com
plaint. and when after two hours mat
ter« were finally explained the lady im
postor had vanished with her spoils
without leaving any trace. — London

CATARACT OF THE EYE.
How the One It Attacks May Watch
the Obstruction Grow.
Cataract is «aid to be dae to the
gradual deposition of oxalate of lime
in the substance of the crystalline
lens, af first I d small spots or streaks,
sometimes in one part and sometimes
in another. The deposit gradually in
creases until it penetrates the whole
of the lens, causing bllncness The
remedy, then, 1« to remove the lens,
and after its removal the patient needs
a substitute in the form of highly mag
nifying spectacles.
All that Is necessary to enable a
patient to see hl« own cataract for
himself Is a piece of card and a nee
dle. A visiting card will do very well.
Pierce a clean ronnd bole near tbe
middle of tbe card and boll the card
up to the light close to th« aye, look

piece of blue sky. With th-. card ’.»-ar
to tbe eye tbe i*atient will oot see tbe
«mall hole pierced by the needle, but
he will see a comparatively large, faint
ly illuminated field with his cataract
projected upon it. He in in fact, ob
serving the shadow cast
his cata
ract on the retina at th* back of his
eye. With a small puncture in the
card the shadow so threw» Is compat-
atively sharp. But with a normal eyg

Tricks of the Trades Recorded by *

said an antiquary, "as the hills."

1724: died in New York in 1870. Listen
to the pure food kick that Henry put

Tbe antiquary read:
“Monday, Ikth October—If I would
drink water I must quaff tbe mawkish
contents of a cursed open aqueduct,
exposed to all manner of defilement
and impregnated with all tbe filth of
the town.
“As for the intoxicating potion sold
as wine, it Is a vile, unpalatable and
pernicious sophistication, baklerdasbed

"The bread is a deleterious paste,
mixed up with chalk, alum and bone
ashes, Insipid to the taste and destruc
tive to the constitution.
“The table beer, guiltless of hop« or
malt, is vapid and nauseous. The tal-
