Successful Trick Played on a Paris Dentist. A vailation of tho pearl 'in th« oy- ster trick has been succissfuUy play- ed on a prominent dentl.st of Paris. A man who taid a hard substance had sunk in a decayed vooth while eating an oyster called on him. The dentist extracted the substance, and found it to be a large pearl. The patient then declared Uiat ho had left his purse at home, and beggtxl tho dentist to accept the pearl as his f<>e. The dentist was too honest to take so valuable a jewel, and gave the m.'tn $10 for it. \Vh,-n the client had gone he discovered that tho pearl wa.s not genuine. He gave chase and captured the man. At the police station the man con- fessed that he had played the same trick eight times Bucces.'jTulIy that day. ITS SUPERIORITY IS GUARANTEED. A new clothesline if boiled for half liolping mo.

More than half tho di.sease in the World is caused by bad blood â€" weak blood, blood poisoned by impurities.

It is no use trying a different medi- cine for each di.sease, because th<'.v all spring from tho one cause â€" had blood.

CLEVER BANK THIEVES THE COURAGE AND PATIENCE WHICH THEY SHOW. A Hong-Kong Bank Was Eobbed After Three Months ol Hard Labor. In tho wholo catalogue of daring bank robberies there is no story more ama/ing than that of the robbery at tho Ilong-Jfong branch of the liank of Western India, for not only did the ca.so disp'ay tho most astonish- ing daring, skill, and patience on the part of tho robbers, but their suc- cess has never been equalled by other bank-breakers. It was generally understood that the safes and vaults of the Western Hank were about tho strongest ever built, and the robbers, of course, knowing this, decided to attack tho bank in o way they believed tho builders had never anticipated, and theieforo not provide«l for. They rentefl a house on the opposite side of tho strtK-t and settled down to livo liko siniple-niinded gentlemen. Some three months later the niana- J maillike, but "owing to the sheerest ger of the bank hud occasion to visit j bad luck. They constructed a tunnel tho vaults, and to his utter anuze- : from a house they rented to tho ment and consternation he discovered vaults of the bank, but failed by a fevi that the principal safe, which a day ; hours to leach the \aluablcs, "worth or two before had containe<l upwards an enormous sum of money, owing to and on the other hand so thick untf solid â€" 1ft. of tho strongest masonry â€" that ninety-nino men of a hundred would have abandoned tho enterprise, if only because of tho risk of cutting a passage throuph sucix a wall be- neath tho feet of an ofTice full ol clerks and ever-passing pedestrians in the street. Dut the thieves had a fortune in diamonds in view and were men not easily frightened or dishcarte;:cd. an'l they not only cut a way through the foundations, but through two other walls littla less formidable, before they came up- on the final wall into which the salo- was built; and they made a way through this latter and tho massive steel back of the safe in such a quiet, wi!rkmanlikc stylo that not a soul suspected anything was amiss until one of the bank olBcials went to the safe and found it cleared of §200,000 worth of K.XQUISTrti; DIAMONDS. Against these two astonishingly successful enterpri>.es stands the at- tempt on the Mexican branch c'lha National 'Jank of .\iuerica,' when fail- ure attended the thieves, not becauso they wore any less daring or work- of 5230,000 IN BULLION and other valuables, had been emp- an accident. It chan-^ed that when these mott had tunnelled a distance of sonta tied of evervthing. It did not take I ^^'^\\y yar-is. and arrived just with- long to throw the responsibility for !

It woulvl Indeed be a (lUcer bishop who could not tell a good story cm him.self. The late I'lshop DuiUey of Kentucky was wont to relate With much relish an interesting experience Which he (Uice had in connection with wallles. At a tine old A irginia homestead where ho was a fio.jueiit guest tlui wallles were always remarkably good.

"Well," < xclninied the surprised reveri'iid gciitleman, "if there aren't any more vvatlles. what made you ask me if I wanted another oneT' "Hishop." explained the littlo black boy, "you's done et ten n 'ready, an' I fought y' wouldn't want no mo'." >. , NOT SO PAIl WRONO. "A typoRTnphicnl (rr<)r," said a ph.vsician, "nearly caused me once to H'.ie a Chiingo [iivper for libel. I was t!(lle<l to Chicago to consult on a serious case. \ number of report- ers Were handling the rase, and one o;' them Were about x\v: " ''I lie doctor felt the iiatienfs pub.e and then pr.'scrlbed fn.- him.'

While living <piietly and respectably evincing no inclination to hide them- selves, but showing their faces fre- quently at the windows and walking in the streets like the most honest folk, tho robbers constructed a tun- nel connecting tho basement of theii domicile with the vaults of tho bank. To accomplish this they dug a shaft down to a sullicient depth to enable j them to tunnel under the road with- out being heard by passengers or risking a collapse of tho earth; and they cut an upward shaft giving them access to the vaults, where, ono day when tho bank vva.s closed and the.v knew tho safes were loaded with valuables, they quietly broke in and cleared away everything taking. One can e.isily appreciate tho cour- apo and patience of these men. They ha<l to cut a tunnel bctwe<^n 80 f(>(t and '.to feet long, sulliciently hl^h and wide to allow tho passage of two men carrying a heavy chest; they had to dispose of the inunense amount of earth displaced in cutting the tunnel without niiyono knowing; and after soine twelve weeks' inces- sant labor in cutting the tunnel they had yet to make a way through TIHO CONCUKTK FLOOlt of the hank nnil break into a safe of exceptional strength. The cutting of the upvvanl shaft undei" the bank particularly must have been an anx- ious task for the rohbe.s. since at any moment they might have biv tra.ved themselves to someone above; and it speaks voluiius for tho cure with which they labored that no one suspect "d tlicm or what vias hnpi)en- ing until they hail made their escape with $2.'iO,(l(iO worth of valuables, the carrying away of which. a|>art from anything else, must have ijeon far fr(un a simple mntter. An eiu.tlly surprising feat was pcr- ferinoil by tl-.e thieves who stole S;:(Ki,(iOO worth of iliamonds from a Kimleley l.nnk some yinrs ago. While tho tunnel in this case was only about il'ft . long, owing to the (act that he thieves were able to avail themselves of a big main-drain to nppro.vch the bank secretly, other dilHiullies ihiit luxl to be overcome were much mora forinidablo than in the tlong-Kong ease. Tho safe in which the- duinionds were deposited was one of such remarkable stii'iigth that before entering on their enterpri.se the thieves evidently decided it Would bo hopdess to at- tempt to break into it at the sides or door, as the wtuk might occujiy loo much viine. and that it would bo necessary ;'or them to attack it at the back, which, 1-cing built into a wall, they could work upon after blink hours, perhaps for days to- gi'tlier, if necessary. And this de- cision was arrived at despite their knowledge that tho wall into which the .safe was built was lift thick and HUll.T OP SOLID CUANITt;. They started operations from the drain ninnlng down below the slreot on which tho bank fronted, by dig- ging a tunnel 20ft. long on a" level with tlu< 'lank's vaults. This tunn'>l. cut through c.xcoetlingly riithcult ground, opened on tho foundations of the building, which were, en tl.o one hoiid, too deep to be passed undoi-. Up tho tunnel collapsed, causing & slight subsidonce of the bank's foun- dations. At the same time the man- ager happi-ned, (luite contrary to his custom, to go to his ortice, and ho was surprised to l;nd a difflcully in opening the door of tho room. A' cursory examination was sullicient to show him that since closing time tho" wall of his room had sunk slightly, causing the door to press on tho- floor. Probably this circumstance alono would not have shattered the thieves' I scheme, since the manager would j have waited till the morning to call a builder in. by which time the safe I would have been emptied. But while • he was considering tho matter tho thieves in tho vault below were mak- ing frantic elTorts to repair the dam- I ago to the tunnel sutheiently to cii- worth ' *'*^'" *'^''"' '" •â- ""'P'<''« their " task bo- fore daybreak, and the manager heard them working beneath his feet. 1"he consequence was, ho immediately took a light and a revolver and dt- sccnded to the vault.
