In 1910 alone, three Kindred Hsois'

4 The real nature Of ventriloquism
iis SO little understood by the persons
IEwho write the humorous sketches Of
1.-THE day, that the most ludicrous
are made by them, and
their readers are led into egregious
errors in regard to the true philoso-
Iphy Of sounds produced by ventrll-
Ioquists. We frequently read an ae-
count of scenes in which Signor Blitz,
or some other professor Of magic, has,
while travelling incognito, thrown
parties into great disorder, by causing
his voice to be hea I'd in various di-
rections, appearing to come from the
lips of various perso rs Of the conipa-
ny. This is simply ridiculous when
We consider that all the Ventriloquist
can do is to produce articulate
sounds in his throat, and the appear
ance of distance is produced BY ma
king the sounds lower Id The throat
and softer in their tone. The ven
triloquist must be at some distance
from his audience, and must have
some aid from their imaginations in
order to produce the desired effect
upon their minds. He directs their
attention to box or window, on the
floor Of the stage, and as the imag-
mary Jad k proceeds into the cellar,
he forms the replies supposed to come
from Jack lower and lower in his
throat, as Jack vanisheB in the dis
tance.. When you occupy the mid
die of room yentriloqqist standing
at one side of the room cannot throw
his voice. over your head and II make
it appear 10 come from the side op-
posito to himself, even by the help
of your Imagination. He will never
attempt such a feat as that, and those
who write or read on the subject
should keep this fact in view, in order
to maihtain consistency and proba-
bility III the matter.

A Beautiful sketch.

We are indebted 10 writer in the Chicago

propeuy--personal, OF course-of the man,
and ,ha, The black,eyed round faced child was
the properly of both Of them. So much we
suppose every body saw, who looked. Ii is a
fair inference that the wife came in TO help her
husband "trade oUI' portion Of the proceeds
of ihe wheat, the produrI of SO much labor, and
80 many sunshines and rains. The pair were

looks askanc al large mirror that would be

small by degrees and beautifully less. Then
