Inntunceo Where the Canvas of an Artllt Han Led to the Confession of a Criminalâ€"A Portrait and 3 Stolen Dimond Pendant. An artist who had suddenly become almost famous by his production or a painting exhibited at the Royal acad- ‘emy was one day called upon by a 3 man whose visit was productive of the most extraordinary and undreamt of consequences. The picture represented ' a lonely stretch of beach, upon which the sea was beating in long. creamy rollers. In the foreground, bending over a dead body, was a man with a wild expres- sion on his face and with a naked knife in his hand. A ship’s boat, evi- dently just beached. was also in the picture, and by the side of the mur- dered man was a bag of gold. The pic- ture portrayed the advent of two cast- aways upon a friendly shore. The one Eedfivx'nfii‘dered the other so that the treasure might be his. The painter’s visitor was a gray hair- ed. Wild eyed man. “In heaven’s name, sir,” he gasped out. “how did you learn the dreadful story that you painted? I see you know all. I murdered my mate Bill to get the money that was his. I threw his :body into the sea. I don’t know what [impulse led me to the Academy. The Lflrst thing I saw was your picture rep~ resenting the scene that took place 30 years ago.” 1 _ .1 1.--... Needless to say, the picture had been the outcome of imagination. Yet mur- der will out, and the guilty conscience of the man who had killed his comrade ,tor lust of gold had convinced him that the painting was no coincidence. but {was indeed the actual portrayal of a dastardly and unwitnessed crime. There is probably no picture better known in England than “The Doctor.” ‘by Mr. Luke Fildes, yet there are prob- ably very few people aware of the fact that that selfsame masterpiece was the means of bringing to light the per- petration of a crime that would other- wise never have been known. A certain doctor in a large town com- mitted suicide. and among his papers was a letter which ran as follows: “I have today seen Luke Fildes’ ‘Doctor.’ The picture represents a medical man ,watching by the bedside of a child. It films so haunted me that I am going to take away my own worthless life and make a confession at the same time. When Arthur’s"â€"-his brother’sâ€"“boy A 3-..: VV ucu “s Bu“- .. , died. I came into money that my dead brother had settled on him. He died as all the world thought of acute pneu- monia. Yet his life might have been 1 saved had I acted. as Fildes’ ‘Doctor’ is so evidently doing. with the use of all the skill that lay in my power. I has- tened the boy’s end and so got the l money. I can bear it no more.” A well known artist was commission- ed to paint the portrait of a lady in ex- alted circles. who boasted the posses- sion of a most unique jewel in the form of a pendant. The lady was very anxious that this heirloom should be included in her portrait The-artist. of course. complied with her request. Shortly after the painting had been completed a daring burglary was per. petrated, with the result'that the lady lost her heirloom. and no trace of the thief or thieves was forthcoming. Years passed by. and the lady gave up all hope of ever seeing the precious heirloom again. .. .u -L 1.1.- nm‘ga. 1191110qu 3154“...

The Barbaronl Practice of “Cup- ping” Suflering Human“; Still Has It: Adherent: â€"The Operation - Somewhat Delicate One. One hundred years ago the sovereign balm for every ill, from fainting to te- ver, was bleeding. The wonder is that a human race was left to admit the folly of the practice. It was the cor- rect method of the day, recommended and employed by the best physicians of the time. The surgeon Who attended George Washington in his last illness first set about bleeding his august pa- “but u â€"_._- tient. The story is that he took several “n‘ cups of blood from the vigorous arm of f“ Washington and then diagnosed the 311 case. Washington died. Some say that 0“ if he had not been bled he probably m‘ would have lived. The cry comes. But that was a cen- if tury ago! In sharp contrast stands the _ wonderful advances made by modern 11] surgery. Thankfully it may be sail that such is the truth. But sometime' tc ‘customs die hard, and today the doc triue of “cupping” has devotees as faithful as those who gave up their life sustaining fluid in Washington’s time. This is a startling statement. The writer would have been skeptical if he had not learned its truth himself. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries this grewsome form of treat- ment was the work of the barber. That guild has maintained its prerogative in- to the twentieth century. In a certain little side street in New York, crushed between two towering brick buildings, 1 stands a timid story and a half frame 3 house. The suggestive striped pole ' which emblazons the art of the dweller 1 within juts over the walk. In the win- 1 dow hangs a sign bearing the word I 1 “Cupping.” If today were set back to r 700, the pole alone would tell the sto- ' ‘ ry. Times, they say, have changed, and so the sign. The barber is a German. He was 1 much surprised at the question asked. 1 Everybody knew that cupping was a 3 necessity, especially in the spring, he 3 said. Sometimes, he added, he was so i busy that little time remained for his ; shaving and hair' cutting of customers. 1; “Ach, yes." said the barber, “it keeps i me a busy man. How strange you say i that you thought it no longer was i practiced. PeOple come here morning, 1 noon and night every day, but mostly i do they come here in the spring and - fall. It is then that the blood needs drawing off. If you have a pain in your head. you come to me. I take my little cup, burn the air in it out. push down my little knives just behind your car on the neck. and when the cup is ' full I take it away. If your headache is not better yet. I take another cup. so be it that the bleeding stop not, upon the other side. Maybe your back pains; ' 3|â€" XYA-q-n nwm â€"v I l i i those one sees 'phine victim. _ ..,- _.....1‘.“- A? nuns I AL"; I As. 5....â€" “Twelve is the number of cups I draw at one sitting.” the barber said. “It is a had pain that will not be gone then. If you come again the next day until the with the pain. I draw off more ache has disappeared completely." The'c'ups look like sherry glasses with the stems removed. The knife. or lancet. is arranged like a name stamp. Pressure on a spring plunger drives the little blades. which are ar- ‘ranged in pairs or triplets. into the skin. It is here that the skill of the operator comes into play. When the incisions are made in the neck too vio- lent. a tap on the plunger might mean the severing: or woum ' ,., Pressure too light would not let the blood flow fast enough. The barber must have a trained touch. Unon- the condition of the cup much ~‘AA hr must [lth' u tluI.-\u --,, Upon. the condition of the cup much depends. The air is exhausted by { means of a tiny alcohol flame. This ‘ makes a vacuum. The cup is pressed on lightly. but firmly. The blood rush- es under the skin beneath its rim: then. like a flash. the little knives are pushed dmvn. and the bleeding begins. The operator never takes more than 12 cups at one sitting. That would mean per. haps a half pint of blood. This system of bleeding for human ailments harks back to the earliest times. All through the middle ages it ‘ was the healing balm for the suti‘erings of mankind. The ancients firmly be lil'VO’d that the loss of blood in this manner drew from their systems the "noxious humors“ which atflicted them.

The following one was witnessed by an Englishman who was himself an excellent prestidigi- tatour: The apartment being filled. the 'ma- gicians began their performance. The audience sat on the floor about rthe fakirs. so that they had no way of'con- cealing themselves or of hiding any-- thing. At their request I examined them and satisfied myself that :thq had nothing about them. Then one of the women stepped into the inciosure, the rest'remaining behind the spec- tators. who formed a close ring about them. The light was now turned'down ‘ a little, and in a moment the woman’s face began to be illuminated by .a ghostly light that extended quickly over her entire body.

A moment of this. and 'tho light that had clung about her seemed to be whirled of! by centrifugal force and assumed a pillarlike form beside her.

All this was done in a very short space of time-be- fore the eyes of at least 50 people and not ten feet from myself. The girl ap- peared greatly exhausted afterward. AN OPTICAL ILLUSlON.
