INDIAN JUGGLERs.

Everyw here in India one meets with
the jugglers and serpent charmers, whose
feats are famous the world over. Mather-
an, locality in the table land of the
Gauts, ! 800 feet above the sea level,
where the English have established sana-
toria both for the soldiers and the resi-
dents, Is naturally one of the leading rem
devious for these iugglers. They assem-.
BILE during the season on this table land
aud perform their tricks from one bunga-
low 10 another. Some of them are very
skillful. Almost entirely naked, and in
the middle of yonr room, they will make
serpent disappear, a tree grow and
bring forth fruit, or water flow from an
apparently empty vase. Others will
swallow a saber, or play tricks with sharp
knives. Each has his special accomplish
ments. One Of their most curious tricks
is that OF tie basket aud child. A child,
seven or eight years old, standing up.
right in the basket, writhes 10 convul.
sions under the influence OF music, and
disappears slowly into the interior, which
Is barely large enough to contain IL.
Scarcely ia Il inside, when the musicians
throw themselves upon IL, close the lid,
and pierce the basket Ia every direction
with their long knives. They strike with
all their might until, the bsmboo giving
way, tho basket IL almost completely
/ flatiened, and seems no longer capable ol
containing anything. They then reform
the circle and resume their chant, tc
which voice now responds from tbs
forest. The sound gradually approaches
and al last seems to come from the bss
ket, which seems 10 become more and
more distended the lid IL removed, aud
tie child springs out. This iriek is yerj
adroitly performed, and though capabl'
II being explaiued to Europeans, excItcl
lively astonisbment IN the Indian specta

The top trick is likewise very curious
The jaggler gives a vigorous impulse e

dispenser reached for pan Of hot starch
that sat on the table at bis hand.

nected with newspaper came next.
The othes two came in sections Of one
man each, but no one could tell which
one came first. Ii is needless, perhaps,
