The conjurer spread q piece OF
mating, and squptted, produced from
,his shawls q bag, and empticd 1t on
the stone In front of him. Tie con.
tents were quantity of little bits OF
wood; some forkcd like tie branches
Of a tree; some straight, each few
inches long; besides these, there were
some fifteen or twenty little painted
wooden birds, about half an incl
long. The,old man chose one OF the
lstiniglitest and thickest of the bits Of
wood, and turning his face up in tic
air, poised it on the tip Of his nose.
The little boy who sat by him hence.
: forth handed him whatever he called
for. First, two or three more pieces
OF wood, which he poised on the
piece already there, then forked
piece to which he gradually made ad
1,itions, until he had built upon his
nose n tree with two branches. lie
always kept it balanced by adding
simultaneously on each side, holding
piece in each hand, and never once
taking his ewes Off the fabric. Soon
The. two branches became four. the
four eight, and so ON, until a skele-
ton OF tree was formed about two
feet high, and branching ont so ns to
overshadow his whole face; he could
lust reach with his hands TO put the
topmost branches on. II was won.
derfnl structure, and We all bcld our
breath rs he added the last bits
But, ,itwas not done yet. The boys
now handed him the little birds, and
still, two at time, one in each hand,
he stuck them all over the tree. The
complete immobility of his head and
neck while he was balancing his
structure on the tip of his nose, was
someting wonderful, and think he
must have breathed through his ears,
for there was not the slightest per-
ceptible motion about nose or mouth.
Aher putting all the birds on, he
paused, and We, thinking the trick
was finished, began TO applaud. But
he held up his forennger for silence.
There was more to come. The boys
put into one Of his hands short,
hollow reed, and into the other some
dried peas. He then put a pea into
his mouth, and using the reed as a
pea-shooter, took aim and shot of the
birds. The breath he gave was so
gentle and we'll calculated that it gave
no perccptible movement to his face;
il just sent the pea far enough TO hit
a particular bird with perfect aim,
and knock.it over. Not another thing
on the tree moved. Another pea was
fred in the same way, and another
bird brought down, and so on until
all the birds were bagged. The fire
was then directed st the branches and
limbs Of he tree, and beginning from
the topmost. the whole OF this aston
ishing structure was demolished

than its manner Of erection.-AU tht
