The Famous Gun Trick.

Philip Ashley, noted for his eques-
trian aniphilhcatre is SAID to have be-
gun life as IL soldier. in which ca
pacitv, when on foreign service with
his regiment, he demonstrated his
ability as II conf urer, by inventing
the now famous gun trick. This
consists III pretending to fire pistol
loaded with Il ball, and catching the
ball Oh the point of u knife. The
explanation of the trick is, that in
The first place the pistol is loaded
only with blank cartridge. In this
harmless condition, the con urcr
slips into il Il liutube which nicely fits
it, and then oslentaiiously loads it
with a ball. Before firing, the tin
tube is dcxterou>ly removed, and,
when the weapon is fired, no harm
en>ucs; by an instantaneous mancu-
Yer the hulIe, is triump'nntly exhi-
blted rs being caught III the requlr
ed situation. 1t is related that Asst
ley invent. d the trick to prevent the
ctf'u>lon of blood IL, the duel of two
comrades III the army, for Que of
whom he acted rs second. Succeed
Ing in getting the other mans see
ond to assent to the ingenious device
the duelis,s fired at each other with
out effect, and the affair was AMIGA
bly, adjusted. In the course of his
travels, Houdin visited Algiers, and
there astonishcd the native Arabs
with his performance Of the gun
trick, which he did in Il way some
what peculiar At one Of his enter
tainments an cd Arab ADMITTED
that monsieur was, doubtless, Il great
magician. but he should prste to use
Que of hls own pistols. loudin said
this might be done, next day, after
he h: d invoked the powers to assist
Lin. 1t was Il severe trial of skill
there was ST me danger in dealing
with Il wary and suspicious barbarian.
Next day the exploit came off.
Hou'lm only stipulated THAT he
should he allowed to load the pistol,
the Arab handing him Il lcadcn bullet
from Il saucer ul from which to make
his choice. This was agreed to.
Houjin, rs every one thought drop
ped the leaden bullet into the pistol,
but, instead of doing SO, e dropped
a previously prepared, sham bullet,
which dissolved INTO dust on being
fired. "Now, said the conJurer to the
Arab, take the pistol and fire nj me;
| will catch the bullet in my mouth"
The pistol was fired, and to the pro-
found anaZrment Of the crowd of
Arabs, Houdin took lcadcn bullet
out Of his mouth, which all admitted
to be the bullet that had been select
ei from the Saucerful. To still fur
Their iSt"nsh Tie company, lloudin
declared that by loaling with an thcr
leaden ball he would bring blood
out of u slonc we'll, All were eager
10 sec this wonderful fear, II was
performed in way differing little
from what has taken place. Instead
Of dropping IL real ball into the
pistol, I"udon used u sham bullet
filled with red liquid, which dis
solved Oh striking ;hc wall.

AS 4 reason why American farm
crs ought to be contented, the -lgri-
cuiturist gives this account Of the
farmer in England: "He does not
own his land, exceptin rare instances,
and is obliged to pay not only q
yearly rental OF $50 to SIS an acre,
but to keep the hardly worked land
in good condition, is forced to en-
ploy working capital of at least $50
IN acre, to be expended in artificial
fertilizers. He is prohibited by law
from killing wild animals, such az
rabbits, hares foxes, partridges and
pigeons, while his cats and dogs are
killed by his landlords gamekeeper,
les, they might injure the game:
r is game feeds on his crops, and
he must submit to see his fields often
ravaged by them. He is obliged to
raise such crops as his landlord con
siders best for the land. He Is
bound to all these requirements by
an exacling lease, which makes HIM
a species Of serf to his landlord"

= Farmers Ice House.

The early setting in of cold wealth
er has assured IN abundant "ice crop
this year. Every farmer who lives
within reach of Il stream or body Of
water from which Il supply Of ice
may be gathered can with u very
sllght outlay OF money and labor Sc
cure an ample store of the "rongcal
ell rcfreslmcnt." An ice mouse
large enough to hold ten tons can he
built at 4 cost not exceeding 800.
The tirst step il TO select II location
where perfect drainage can be sccur-
cd. Then lay 'mudsills" of 2x4 hem
sock scantling ten feet long each
way. Upon these are studs of the
same kind OF scantliug eight feet
high. One four inches from each
corner aud two others 1T equal inter.
walls between this will leave the studs
Il little less ihan three feet apart.
Cap the whole with pilates" of 2x4
AZ with boards tour inches wide
Put in the ties under the stills to
keep the base from spreading. Then
board up on the inside with rough
hemlock boards, and roof with
matched pine flooring veil battenel.
ct is better to lay the baltens in
paint) Then with u door in one
end and a ventilator over it in the
gable, the structure is complete.
If saw-mill is within reach the
sawdu>t will be found the cheapest
and best ,ackIng. In its absence
chopped straw will answer every
purpose. Then pack in the ice a>
closely us possible leaving a foot on
every side which ill in with the saw
dust or chopped straw as the work
proceeds, aud put about 4 foot of the
same on top.
1.-THE house isbuilt underline shade
of land trees which will protect it
from the glare of the snmmer-sun, so
much the better. 1t not y screen OF
morning glories, Gp"rds or Other
rapid-growing climbers. the seeds of
which may be sown in the spring,
will answer double purpose of orh-
ament and utility.
Ice is II" longer regarded as a lux
ury for the rich. 1t is at least n
great convenience and on dairy
farm almost necessity.
