and I may tell you that I believe the motive tor X L h t of hand tricks with cards, balls and thugs half the startling child-crimes which get into the goniraoii among ail jugglers of the East, the man nanera from time to time to be simply the out- aimounccil tlmt he was about to perform tho great ^ ^


, „,wi iintives After having performed the usual 'wlmlA oriTj^vi3ndo''uraiitnura\mall h (pre-


two years ago I had a ease in point in my own Eumably his sou) of about eight or nine years of school. A lad in one of the lower standards


started to attract atention to himself by enraing


wardrobe was being effected; but the boy stub- taiiicd tho bound child. A piei-cang shnek ^me bornly refused to answer every question put to f fo „ i inside tho basket, and thou all was silent, him. And small wonder! A few months later Pausing for a inomeiitL the juggler again tliriist we learned through the police that he. had been ],ja sword right through the basket, and witli- carrying on a systematio series of fietty thefts drew it covered ivith blood; this was repeated from nearly all tha second-hand clothes dealers, soma four or five times, tlie sword being thrust in the town. ,I t was proved that in tho ordinary jato every corner of tlie basket. The juggler tlieii way the boy was quite honest, and that lie came j^id hown liis weapon and removed the cloth from of thoroughly-respectable purents;but the temfi- over tho basket; he then again produced tiie key tation to mystify his teachers antj the otlier boys and requested one of the audience to uulock the


every Monday morning in a different suit of clothes. As lie was simply a poor little urchin ‘ off the s'.ireet,' so to apeak, wo were naturally curious as to how tho mysterious change of


ill the school had been, too much for liim. An­ other youngster in tho Midlands carried out an even more elaborate attempt to he thought mys­ terious. He appeared at seJiool every day in a


l^oskct* One of our number having vulunteered his ser­


vices, turned tho key and i-aised tlia lid. when to our utter astonishment tlie basket "was founil to

complete disguise. Two or three good eaniiiga be eiiiiity; but our astouishmenb was still great- had no effect on his love for masquerading; and er when the aforesaid little boy was dragged out a little later it was noticed that he became sub- from under the chnir of one of the audience per- ject to fits of the most horrible facial contortions feotly unliarmed. How the boy escaped from the and got gradually woroe. At last a doctor who saw basket when planed there bound, right under the the boy declared that he was suffering from tern- eyes of no less than a hundred speotators, witli- porary paralysis of the facial muscles; and then out being seen, is too great a mystery for me to it turned out that he had been buying and using fry to fathom. But we were to be still more as- a certain deadly drug which he had read about in a 'halfpenny dreadful’ and which was siippo.sed to bo used by all big burglars to disguise their features. A big burglary, by the way, inll some­ times attract a boy, and set him posing before tho other boys as the perpetrator of the crime himself. A cose like this occurred near London not' a very long time ago, and proved of valu- able assistance to the detective", who wore just


then doing their hesll to trace down a certain so- ,yero „o houses near for it to linve fallen into, eret gang of criminals. The yoiiiister in question and besides, wo could see the twine for a great heard some details of a mysterious bank robbery ,Ustaiico straight up in the air. The juggler thc\ wliicli was baffling (lit police, and he conceived ordered tho little boy wlio liad once before help- the idea of making tho school believe tliat tho gd (-q astonish ns, to mount up the string. Soiz- thief was well known to him. The stories he told i„g t],o u,ia tirine with his liaiuls and feet, tlie were borne out by such graphic details that they jmio >,oy climbed with all tho agility of a mou- attracted the attention of a police inspector.who questioned the boy, and found that in his zeal to bo thought cniinecfed with_.hini the lad had actually unearthed the gang lo which the thief belonged—though their head-quarters hud been guarded wiUi' the most successful secrecy for over; two years. I t is a comiiioii thing for a boy to pretend that lie is afflicted wi'Jii some uiit- of-tho-way disease; and I knew one youngster who attracted attention to himself for a long time by being subject to curious fits of .sleepiness which sometime.s overtook him in the middle of tho morning, and, in spite of all efforts to rouse him, lasted'the wliolo da.v. When tliese attacks were found to be only feigneil, a sound caning generally proved effective in restoring conscions- iiess. But even an unusual disease is scarcely to bo compared with the niani.s for trying to be thought ni.vaterious by sleeping in strange places at night. This is a sort of channel to notoriety that never fails; and a youngster well known to me gained the awe of his whole seliool by sleeping nearly a year in a cemetry on ono of the


tricks. After a while he declared he required his son a . , ,


help, and called to liim to come down,. A voice from ill the air replied tliat lie would not. After trying some persuasion, tlie juggler got nngr}-, aiid ordered the lioy to descend on pain of death. Ag.ain having received a reply in the negative, tho enraged man received a long knife and elimb- e.l Imwl over hand up (lie twine, holding the knife between liis teeth, and disappeared in his turn, like tlie bo.v, in tins blue sky overhead. Sud­ denly .a scream vibrated throngli the air, and, tc the unuttoraiile liorr.ar of tlie .spectators drops of blood began to fall from the spot where the jug­ gler had disapiicared into tlio sky. Then the lioy fell, dismembered, first his legs


graves.” I-I f A VERIFIED ESCAPE.


T h* North Wills Herald enquired into and verified ’an escape from tho jaws of death. MTibs Atolierley, 43, Al'oion-street, New Swindou, gave tho facta, which were those of her own very interesting and important case. “ About tlio ond of January last,” said


Miss Atolieilay, " f was taken ill. Tho symp­ toms wore fainbnoss aiid swelling of the body, chiefly after mesJs; tliis was attended with pains in both sides aud across the lo .vor part


of the body. I was so ill that 1 had given up all hope of ra-


covory. 'Then a friend epokeof Dr.WiiliamB' Fink Pills for Palo People, and having read comments in


^ remarkable cures ef­ fected liy this medi­ cine, which have attracted public at- tcntioii, I deter- luiued, as a forlorn hope, to obtain some. I procured n box and immediately began


— to feel the good effoola. My health


havo been for years.” Miss Atehorley's statemont was coufirmed


then his bod.v, and lastly ills liead. After his head had touched the ground the juggler slid down tlie twine, the knife all bloody at liis waste and leisurely gathered up the members of tlie. c.iiild, and placed them, together witli the twine wliieh lie pulled down under a elotli. He (ilea gatlievcd up tho rest of ids oppiu’atiis and re­ moved tlio slieet. From under it ai-nse up the same idenlicnl hoy, whole and intaot; there were no mangled remains and n;i blood. On this T will make only ono reimark, that (lie


thing itself seem.s iiiipo.ssible, yet that does not prove llmt it is not actually done. Some may try to find ils solution in “ .Suggestive lI,vptno- Usiii’’ It is true that a liyptnoHsed person sees wliat hi.s Ii.vptnotiser wishes, but is it possilile to liptnotiso .a whole crowd of people? I f so, ami the crowd immedialely procoed (o see what the hyptnotlscr wishes them to sc«, then, of course, many of the best Indian wonders in the nrt of oinjuring are cxiilained.

Slia liad, slie said, quite abanloiiel any hofw of saving lier life, and is profoundly Ih.vikful tliat alio was porsuaded to try Dr. Williams’ Pink fills for Palo People, when all other remedies ha-l failed. "Our iieighboiirs,” reniai'ked Miss Atolierley, • look upon me as a wonder, for they thought


•


it was impossible for mo to recover.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Piils are pr.iiaed amongst all classes for their piowor of giving strength and energy to tho weak. They are unrivalled as a Btreiigtheuiiig and toiiio medicine, for men. women, or children. They are not like


other medicine, nor cm they be imitated, as is sometimes dishoneslly pretended; take care tliat tho package bears the full name, Dr. ■Williams' Pink Piils for Palo People, and in case of doubt scud direct to Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, 46, Holborn-viaduot, London. E.C., ns tho Pills can bo had post-free at 2s. U.I., or six boxes for 13a. 9d. They have cured numerous cases of rlioumatism, paralysis, locomotor ata.ey, sciatica, iuUuouza, anmniia, palpitations, and the disorders whioh arise from impoverished blood, such as muscular weakness, loss of appetite, shortness of broath,
