Only Q Printers Dream.

A printer sat in his office chair. his
boots were patched and his coat thread
bare, and his face looked weary and worn
with care. While sadly thinking of bust
ness debt, old Morpheus slowly round him
crept. and before he knew it he soundly
slept, and sleeping he dreamed that he
was dead, from trouble and toll his spirit
had fed, and that not even a cowbell
tolled for the peaccable rest of the cow
hide sole. As he wandered among the
shades, that smoke and scorch in lower
Haaes, he shortly observed an iron door
that creakingly swung on hinges ajar. but
the entrance was closed with red hot
bar. and Satan himself stood peeping out.
thus to the passing printer spoke:
Come in, my DEAR: it shall cost you
nothing and never fear. This is the place
where ! cook the ones who never pay their
subscription sums; FOR though in life they
may escape, they will find when they re
dead II is too late; | will show you he
place where ! melt them thin, with red
hot chains and scraps of tin. and also
where ! comb their heads with broken
glass and melted lead, and If of refresh
ments they only think, there's boiling wa
ter for them to drink: the red-hot grind
stone to grind his nose. and the the red
not rings to wear on his toes. and if they
mention they don't like fire. I'll sew up
their mouths with red-hot wire: and then.
dear sir. you will see them squirm, while
roll tn, over and cool to turn
With these last words the printer
awoke. and thoughtit all a practical joke;
but still of times so real did it seem, that
he cannot believe il was all dream, and
often he thinks with chuckle and grin.

A Magical Performance.

Of tins week. Speaking Of Heller. an Eng
fish tourist, fresh from India. now visit
ing in this city, says: ''None Of the
Western nations know even the alphabet
of magic He added they are all clumsy
amateurs as compared with the most COM
mon professionals OF India.
Ii would appear so from his descrip-
tions of trick performed by an Indian
iuggler in an interior town in lower India.
The juggler is accompanied by a small
lad. apparently his son. Both were naked
TO the waist.
The Juggier produced small ball Of
Irvine nearly half the size Of his fist He
tossed II to the spectators and then to his
boy without any further preiininaries.
The boy placed the bali in his mouth.
made great gulp, and In an instant IT
was apparently swallowed
The second later there appeared under
the hard brown skin of the boy. upon his
right side, prutuberance the size of the
ball swallowed
The Juggler now steps forward. He
draws keen knife from his belt and adj
vanees TO the boy. He lances gently upon
the surface of the pro,uberance and the
blood flows. The long forefnger Of the
iuggler is inserted in the opening. He
feels gently about and later draws out a
thread from the wound. Then he gently
pulls upon it and winds slowly a ball that
reaches the size OF the one exhibited only
after the pro;uberance Is gone. This Is a
simple trick performed for the small sums
that can be collected in a street crowd.

Prepare Winter shelter f6r tie seek.
Prom the Kansas Farmer.
This is the season when the farmer
should see to il that he has sufficient warm
shelter for all classes Of stock on his farm.
The stables and pens for his cattle, horses.
sheep, pigs. and poultry, should be made
tight and dry. The piercing winds. rain
and SHOWS should be guarded against by
providing shelter or seeing to it that that
is put in complete order which he has al
ready in position Some farmers-and
they are by far too numerous-think they
cannot afford the expense of building
proper shelter for their stock. Better by
far sell off part Of your stock and lay out
the money In providing comfortable ac-
cOmmOdations for the remainder, than
have the whole exposed to the inclemency
of winter storms and cold. A small num-
Der of cattle well sheltered and fed through
the Indictment season Is much more profit
able than large number poorly housed,
or not at all. Animals not protected from
storms and cold of winter, consume a
much larger quantity Of food than they
would if properly housed, and come out in
spring in much worse condition. This
principle applies to all animals that are
kept on the farm. from the high-bred
horse down to the barn-yard fowl.
Stock provided with comfortable shell
ter in the winter can be kept in thriving
condition. and when spring opens it
moves right forward gaming in flesh and
fat every day until the autumn frosts
again cut of the bounteous supply Of
green nutritious food The mild weather
and tender grass work for the farmer in
the warmer months. and to have full bene-
fit of this propitious season he should
guard well against the cxactions of the
winter season. Winter is an implacable
enemy the farmer is called upon TO battle
against lest it rob him of hundreds of dol
lars worth Of stock. II may not take the
life of his animals, but it steals away their
flesh and strength. and they come out In
the spring weak and emaciatei, as it were.
from sick bed. and the most profitable
part of the warmer season is consumed In
recuperating what has been lost or de-
stroyed by the winter. Spring. summer
and autumn. with prodigal hand. empties
the no N of plenty into the lap of the hus-
bandman. II is the winter that robs him
with relentless rigor if he does not fortify
against its pitiless storms and searching
blasts. He is both wise and humane
man who provides comfortable shelter for
his stock of all kinds during the winter.
and foolish man who squanders his sub
stance in worse than riotous living who
does not.

swearing Chinanes.
F-om the Lo. Angeles. Cal. Head.

From the La. Angeles. Cal. Head.
In the county court the trial of the
People VS.. An Chee and All Quong, in
dicted for robbing China woman of jew
elry and other valuables, was begun.
The parties to the suit being all Mon
golians, it was concluded to swear the
witnesses oy the most binding Chinese
form. As the ceremony consisted of sac
cri6ce both by FIRE and blood, it was found
necessary to adjourn to the sidewalk in
front of the Court House. A chicken and
the necessary Joss sticks or wooden tapers
were procured, and the latter stuck in the
ground and lighted. While they were
burning the prosecuting witness 1.-THE wo-
man who had been robbed) held an ami
mated consultation with the Rev. Mr.
Nevin, court interpreter, after which two
wax tapers were lighted, and. after being
brought in contact with the neck Of the
chicken. were stuck in the ground. Now
began the serious business. A formidable
piece Of yellow paper, covered with Chi
nese characters. was brought out and
handed to Mr.. Nevin, who declined to re-
ceive it, saying in English that if he or
any white man read it the ceremony would
lose much Of its force, as the witnesses
would claim that they had not understood
him. The document was then rendered
to several Cinnamon, all of whom refused
TO read it, one saying in good English
that he would not read the paper for a
hundred thousand dollars.
Finally Chinaman was found brave
enough to undertake the Office. He read
the dread formula first to the woman.
who repeated it as he read At its con-
clusion large bundle of paper, previous
ly prepared, was lighted, over which the
woman stepped couple Of times and
then took possession of the chicken and
the sacri6cial knife, cleaver-shaped i'm
plement. which had lain by the side of
the fire during the reading of the oath
The male witnesses were then arranged in
front of the fire. the oath was again read,
each repeating il after the reader, who,
after he had finished it. threw it on the
FIRE, the head of the chicken was chopped
off by the woman. and the sacrifice was
accomplished. We made an effort to get
translation of the oath, but were unsuc-
cessful, Mr.. Nevin informing our messen-
ger that, as he had not read the docu-
ment, he could not accommodate us.

Tell me not Of love-" she said;

An my petals white unfold,

And leave me ON the plain
Let me live to zee again
The sunshine and the rain?"
