TBE Tynesiders find it difficult to be-
lieve that Ned Hsnlsp, who Is "no great
shakes of q man" can play with the
brawniest scullers Of England, as he
does, without the aid of machinery or
some internal Yankee contrivsnce. Some
think he has gas,bsgs under the oiled
silk covers of the boat, while one man
was ov, rhesrd Un the day before the race
gravely telling another that Hsnlau
would have patent engine put in his
boat on the morning of the race so as to
enable him to win. The engine, the
Tynesider said, would be worked by
means of compressed air. This is anus

hardly blame the bewildered wstermen
for thinking there is something un'
natural and my sterious about the smaS'
Ing facility with which this young fellow
walks awsy from all rivals.

Mrs HATCH has Tor years been con-
spicuous spiritual medium in Boston.
Her speciality is the production OF
flowers from spirit sources. She gave a
seance few evenings ago at a private
residence. Tie lights were e1tiDguished
as usual, and the persons in the circle
were enjoined to hold last to each others
hands. Flowers were soon dropped here
and there, and Mrs. Hatch began to ex-
plain how they had been brought from
distant places by spirit hands. All the
gas burners had been connected with an
electric lighting apparatus, and suddenly
the apartment was brightly illuminated.
The medium was completely exposed.
In her lap was pile of flowers, and she
was caught in the act of tossing them in
the air.

Easy Lessons In Magic.

Almost all tricks of legerdemain owe
their effect to some cunningly contrived
apparatus, and not to any skill on the
part OF the performer. The tricks we
are about to describe are an exception.
No apparatus is needed-no parapherna.
liza Is necessary. But sleight-of hand IL.
Also some "cheek."
The Egg Trick.-Although this trick
may seem to partake OF the marvellous,
1t is In fact, very simple. An egg slightly
indisposed will answer the purpose, II .
healthy one is not obtainable. First,
pass the egg around the audience to con.
v nee them that 1t doesn't contain q
false bottom. Now, attract their atten>
tion by relating little story about q
hen in Oshkosh that laid four eggs on
each week day, ani seven on Sunday.
This will put the audience in good hu.
NOR. Then call upon young man with
light trowsers to assist you in the trick.
When he comes upon the stage, motion
him chair, and, as he Is in the act Of
sitting down, deity place the egg under
him. You will be astonished at the
fluent manner in which he quotes pro-
fame history. In performing this trick
always select small man to assist you,
as 1t will prove healthier-for the per.
Iormer.
The Magic Jam.-Take jar Of black.
berry jam, about six months old. Plaoe
the vessel on the dining table In the
presence OF Johnny and Willie, and 10
move the lid OF cover. Then leave the
room FIVE minutes. When you return
you will be eurprised to find the jar
empty, and Johnny and Willie full Of
lam. This trick never fails TO please the
boys--who are left alone with the jar.
