Catching Cannon Balls ON the Fly.
h fs n Hoax?

A very singular exhibition was given
recently st the Jardin Mabille. There
has been performing here at the FOllies
Bergeres man named Holtum, an Amer
lean, who has cannon fired at him and
catches the ball in his hands. This pro-
digious feat was witnessed nightly, and
although the actors present avowed that
there was no trick, Pierre Vernon, of the
Monde nlustre, would not believe it, He
said that the cannon ball must be thrown
to Holtum from the stage. The latter
made bet of 5000 francs that he would
perform the feat under conditions which
left no room to doubt and, when the bet
was taken, Vernon designated Mabille rs
the place for the trial All the Journal
lists Of Paris were invited, and they found
Holtum there before his cannon. 1t was
examined with minute care, and the heavy
ball was passed from hand to hand. al
am no longer in my own house." said
Holtum, "you are master here, and you
must watch over all the arrangements"
Having carefully aimed and dashed his
cannon, it was charged, and Holtum took
his place against plank target some ten
yards away. This was to show that the
ball was solid, and the force of the pow
der great enough to send it through the
plank. Holtum got the aim of his gun,
and then placed his head in a certain posi-
ton against the plank, giving the COM
mand to fire. The ball just grazed the
hair and broke through the plank, rolling
some twenty yards further on. The same
ball was picked up by the journalists, who
again charged the cannon and sent home
the ball, and this time Holtum caught the
ball in his hands as neatly as he does
nightly upon the stage. He won his bet,
and no one seemed disposed to accept his
offer of 1000 francs to any one who would
perform the same astounding feat The
physical force required must be enormous,
but Holtum showed his strength by toss
ing up cannon balls as if they were so
many oranges The only precautions
taken are very simple; he wears very
thick leather gloves, and covers his breast
with many thickness of thin paper to form
a sort of cuirass. This looks to me ike a
very dangerous feat, and particularly the
first part of it, where Holtum places his
head against the target half an inch below
where the ball will probably strike. If
the powder should chance to be defective,
some day there might be an accident 1t
is like the foolhardy trick of putting ones
head into lions mouth. One day 1
fancy that ball will snap his head very
neatly of.-Paris Corr Nelo York Times.

Loss of the steamship schiller.

From the narrative of the passengers
we gather that the voyage was moder.
ately good until May I. The last three
days it vas impossible to take observa-
tons. The snip was out of her course
half mile at the time of the catastrophe.
Capt Thomas was on deck night and day
for four entire days. At o'clock in the
evening Of the eth there was dense fog.
The sails were taken in, the engines put
on halfspeed, and the fog-belIs were used.
Bishops Light on the Scilly Islands, was
unseen, though only half mile distant
At 10 O'Clock we struck on a reef, and,
after four bumps, the steamer settled
down There was violent sea and the
tide was rising. The darkness was in
tense. Most of the male passengers were
awake, and there was the usual rush for
the boats, but nearly all the boats were
STAYED. One boat with few sailors left
the ship in a cowsrdly manner, refusing
sid Two boats were saved. The Cap
tain endeavored to compel obedience by
firing 3 revolver over their heads. Dur
ing two hours SIX csnnon-shots were fired,
when the powder dampened. Distress
signals, rockets, and blue lights were IN
answered. At midnight the fog lifted, in
: minute revealing the lighthouse The
waves were still sweeping the decks and
carrying away victims. At O'Clock the
deck-house, in which were the women and
children. was swept away. The cries and
shrieks of the victims were hesrtrending.
There followed 4 ghastly silence aft The
smokestack fell, crushing some Of the
boats and two others were carried away
The remaining passengers followed the
Captain to the forward bridge. Each
wave took fresh victims. Some sought
refuge IN the mainmast and some on the
foremost Al o'clock the Captain and
two other officers were on the bridge.
Tie Captain descended fora moment to
render assistance and was swept away,

office be examined in foreign sciences. If
the viceroy seriously urges this proposal
the Picking Government win not venture
to reSist it.
Fighting continues in FormoSa between
the aborigines and the Chinese, to the dis
advantage of the latter. Reinforcements
are sent to the island.
There is a general suspicion that the
recent death of the young Empress was
purposely brought about to avoid COM
pications that might arise in case her ex-
pec,ed child should prove son.
A collision occurred April 4th off the
coast of China between the Chinese
steamer Fusing aud the British steamer
Ocean. The former sunk instantly and
fifty lives were lost; the latter was con-
siderably damaged.
Demands for satisfaction for the murder
of Mr.. Margary, st Momein, were foroibly
presented by Wade, the British Minister.
The Chinese officials at first endeavored
TO evade the responsibility. If persisted
in the British authorities will undertake
the punishment of the crime themselves.
JGrAN.-A. Center has resumed the po-
sition of general agent of the Pacific Mail
in Japan and China
The American merchants, Augustine
Heard & Co, suspended payment in ia
pan and China April 18th; liabilities not
stated.
Cantelli and Swaby, cashier and &C
oountant of the French bank in Yokohama,
branch of Compton d'Escompte de Paris,
stole about $4,000 in notes and converted
them into Japanese gold. They attempt
ed to abscond April 10th in the schooner
Iris The robbery was discovered, war
rant for their apprehension issued by the
Italian and English Consuls, and the
schooner overhauled by an armed steamer.
As the pursuers drew alongside the two
defaulters shot themselves, and died soon
after. A large proportion of the stolen
money was found on board. The Cap
tain and owner of the schooner were ar
rested as accompfces.
The Commissioners recently returned
from Siam report against the expediency
of at present opening diplomatic and CON-
mercial relations between Siam and Japan.
Government changes are progressing.
April l4th an imperial proclamation was
issued creating a body called Genro,
which will be composed of Senators ap-
pointed by the NIikado; also, q second
body called Daishin In, to adjust and ad-
minister the Judicial system. The ques-
ton of an Elective House is reserved for
future consideration. The proclamation
is regarded as the greatest concession that
can be made with proper regard to the
public safety and to the desires of the
party asking for parliamentary reforms.
There are new complications in Lew
Chew affairs in consequence of party of
Lew Chewans going without authority to
congratulate the Emperor of China on his
accession. Chinese authorities give out a
false announcement that the object of the
visit was for the purpose of renewing
declarations of ancient vassalage. The
japanese Charge d, Afaires at Peking CON-
mitted the mistake of seeking personal
from Lew Chew, instead of
the matter to his government.
The Chinese authorities objected TO his
Lew Chew, and the whole
affair IS now under consideration at Yeddo.

DIM ICED MEN.

You can see any day in the streets of
any city, men who look damaged. Men,
too, of good original material, who
started out in life with generous aspira-
tons. Once it was said that they were
bright, promising lads; once they looked
happily into the faces of mothers, whose
daily breath was prayer for their purity
and peace. All what If some of them
have vowed their souls away to confiding
wives, who silently wonder what can be
the meaning of this change-the cold,
slow-creeping shadow-that is coming
over the house and heart. Going to the
bad! The spell of evil companionship;
the willingness to hold and use money
not honestly gained; the stealthy. seduc-
tive, plausible advance of the appetite
for strong drink; the treacherous fascina-
ton of the gambling table; the gradual
loss of interest In business and in doings
which build a man up; the rapid weak
ening OF all noble purposes; the decay of
manliness; the recklessness and bias

M4NUF4CTURE OF FE4THERS.

About $40 working women are EN-
ployed, in Vienna, in the manufacture of
ornamental feathers. The coloring is
done by men, the other processes mostly
by women. African ostrich feathers are
most usually manufactured. These are
white, gray, black, and dappled, and are
classified according to quality, as
'prima," "secunda," etc. Other feath-
ers frequently worked are those of the
white heron, bird of paradise and mara
boo (there are genuine maraboo feathers
and false.) The white prima ostrich
feather is the finest of all. The feather
is cleaned first by cold soap bath, well
washed twice or thrice, and then put into
warm soap baths, afterward well washed
in cold water, then blued a little, pressed
and swung in the air until the hairs have
spread and the feather is quite dry
Next, with small sharp knife the strong
loses its stiffness and acquires pliability.
With small feathers this is obtained by
scraping the rib with glass. Then the
hairs on each side of the rib are made to
curl in, with a blunt knife, and the
requisite uniformity of shape is given
them by combing them over slightly
warmed iron. Next, in order to hide the
rib, the worker with blunt knife twists
here and there some hairs of the feather
spirally over the rib until it is complete
~ concealed by them. The feather is
then threaded with g wire, folded in
paper, and so completed. The same
process is followed with gray and black
ostrich feathers, except that the gray are
generally and the black always colored.
White feathers, being always in demand,
are seldom colored. If the hair on a
feather is not dense enough, or the
feather is defective, then two or three
feathers are sewn together and curled.
This is done with both short and long
feathers. The hair of ostrich feathers is
much used for the manufacture of fancy
feathers; cockades, fringes, etc., are
made of these. The feathers are twined
by machine, and then joined to the
hairs of other feathers. There is an
American ostrich feather called "vul-
ture," which is worked like the African,
but is inferior to it in quality. Tempt
ing white feathers called maraboo are
much worked. They are used for fancy
feathers, the points of small white or
colored pigeon feathers, and very small
fragments of silk and the like are joined
ON to them. "Bordures" for ball dresses
are made of them. 1t is evident from
this account that 'to show the white
feather" is process which entails some
trouble and expense.

PAPERING WALLs.-Before putting
fresh paper on walls the old paper should
be carefully removed by wetting it with
saleratus water, when it will fall off easily.
The walls should be brushed over with
weak solution of carbolic acid, which
Will drive away insects and sweeten the
walls. The Chinese often remove plaster
from old houses and replace it with new,
and are paid for their trouble in the
value OF the old plaster for fertilizing
purposes. This shows how the breaths
and various civilizations of the body are
absorbed by lime, and gives hint as to
the necessity of neutralizing, as far as
possible, these absorbed odors.
