A Feat ut Catching.

catching, or a man either, as for that"
were the boaalful words heard uttered
by twelve.year.old lad, as he tossed
aloit two balls at once and caught them
as they descended, one with each hand.
That was certainly very we'll done, but
let me tell the boys who read tho St.
Nicholas Of some catching" that have
seen In far-of lands-catching with the
mouth, instead OF the hands, and they
shall Judge whether my boastful young
friend of tho two balls would be likely 10

The first time l witnessed these ieats Of
agility was at tue palace Of the King Of
Siam, where l had been dining. His
iayoriIe gymnasts were in attendance
that day, and no challenged Us to see
their exploits and then tell him whether
our countrymCn could do anything more
wonderful in the way OF climbing and
catching. So hs seated our little party
on m elevated platform, where We could
zee readily the movements Of the actors,
and the first thing that met our view was
a swinging stage attached 10 two slender
poles that were planted perpendicularly
In the ground. About twelve PAGES of
was another pole, to which was suspend.

with gold.
The purse was full forty feet above the
ground, while tho stage swung about I've

action Of a long rope pulled by men
standing on the ground. On the stage
stood four men, and as 1t veered toward
the money purse he who stood nearest
was allowed one trial Of his skill at
catching the purse withhis mouth. II he
succeeded, the money (aboutsixty dollars
in gold was 10 be his reward, and he

Of danger. As easily and naturally as
YOU would catch ball tossed toward you
BY your companion, the first man open
ed his mouth Just at the right instant,
touched the purse with his lower lip to
dislodge it from the peg, and caught the
string between his teeth, just as his time
was M. by the yeering away Of the stage.
Several others followed, with tho same
success, each loudly Cheered, and appear

at the disgrace he had incurred 10 care
about the loss OF the money, or even the
danger Of a descent by that bare pole. OF
course there were onlya few seconds Of
time for him TO seize the pole as the
stage swung away, and had he halted or
hesitated at all, he must inevitably have
been dashed to pieces. ..

fancy Goods l;ccord.l
There arc ways Of attracting custom
as there arc ways Of repelling it; and we
are reminded OF the value Of manners in
business by an accident Of our own expe.
ricnce when we accompanied Bomo ladies
shopping in quiet country town. The
shopkeeper's manner was we'll calculated
to drive people from his shop. He was
asloyenly, bushy.haired man, with smile
less face and suspicious eyes, that seemed
to regard every passer.by as burglar,
and every customer az Il positive swim
der. His till was fitted with u patent
burglar alarm, which gave a clang every
time he opened it TO change a ten.cent
piece. He watched with the glance Of u
detective every lady who handled a piece
Of goods, as il she purposed slipping a
whole piece Of lIorrock's cotton under
her cloak. Indeed, his entire manner
made the party feel uncomfortable and
impatient 10 be out Of his place. Finally,
when one OF tho ladies gave him FIVE
dollar bill to pay for her purchases, he
put on his glasses to examine it slowly
and carefully, then pulled out the bur-
glar proof drawer with its ring alarm,
closed it on second thought with another
clang, and HE'D away to the other end Of
tho shop to make sure from an old bank
note deiector that the note was not coun-
terieil, after which he modify made
change. The party have never called upon
him since, and no member Of it ever will.
The whole conduct OF tho man said, as in
SO many words, "Look here, you people,
you can't cheat me, and you can't have
my goods until I am satisfied about YOU.

your distance" The result was that 10
lost custom, for no one cares 10 be sus-
pected obviously Of being thief. II is
possible 10 please a customer by your
manner and your business arrangement,
and to disgust him or her by pettiness
and discourtesy. Proper caution is q
good thing, but it need not be exaggerat.
ed, us in this case, into universal distrust
and offensive suspicion. A shopkeeper,
to attract customers, must ses that the
looks, as well as the ways OF his shop are
inviting.
