It is a sort of loose thumbscrew which is fixed so as to keep the two thumbs comfortably together so long as the man does not stru ggle. but a twist of the string held by one of the police is enough to des- 'troy any wish to escape. ; ------__* THE PIGS' FRIEND One of the strangest of the muni- cipal officers in the realm of the pretty young: Grand Duchess of Luxembourg is that of the officer who takes the pigs for a walk twice a day.
