Occasionally one may SEQ at Gale
the great Indian mango mystery. This
trick he's never been acquired by Eu-
ropean magicians, but has been kept as
n professional secret In o certain caste.
Tho jnggler fetches q handful OF earth
from the compound and places IL on
toe hoor OF the porch; In the earth he
buries the mango seed. After passing
hts basket for the scrutiny of his spec
1atorss this he inyerts over the covered
seed and makes certain nominations.
In raising the basket small sprout is
seen emerging from the shallow pile.
The basket Is replaced for further en-
chantments, and as ID is raised sue
cessively an increase OF the plant Ia ap-
parent, until 1t reaches a height equal
co that OF its covering. The tree thus
produced liz given to one OF the specta-
tors. The scant attire OF the manipu-
iatnrs renders the idea OF concealment
on his person OF mango trees untena-
bile, and TO perform the trick at once
involves a series OF different sizes, yet
the juggser will pass from house to
house performing his feat with an in
exnaustible supply of his wares.

of this part OF the State. l think this
country is the best bave ever seen for
farming and stock raising; no person
that is industrious and economical can
help but do well here ard make money
very fast. This is the country for men
of limited means, especially those that
have to rent land in the east; any
person that can command eight hun

cheap; unimproved land can be bought
