A Carnival Trick.

A very favorite trick adopted at Lima,
in carnival time, for frightening people
as they pass along the streets, is the
following: A sack, filed with fragments
of broken glass and porcelain, is fastened
to the balcony by strong rope, Of such
length, that when suspended from the
window, the sack is about seven feet
above the street. The apparatus being
ready, a mischievous negress and her
"amita'' (yourg mistress) watch the
passers>by until they select one for their
victim. The sack is then thrown over
the front of the balcony, and deateu-
ing crash ensues, though the rope pre>
vents its contents from hurting any one.
It is well known that in almost every
street in Lima there is at least one ball
cony ready prepared for the performance
of this trick yet the suddenness of the
crash always proves a shock, even to
the strongest nerves. People start and
run to the other side of the street, and
are sometimes so terrified that they drop
down; then loud laug hter and jeering
remarks are heard in the balcony
Every year this trick is prohibited by
the police, but prohibition is treated
with contempt.

Thoughts.

1t is impious in good man to be sad.
If fun is good, truth Is better, and
love best of all.
He shall be immortal who liveth till
he be stoned by one without fault.
Learning without thought is labor
lost; thought without learning is peri
lous.
What men want is not talent, it is pur-
pose in other words, not the power to
achieve, but the will to labor.
Friends are as companions on jour-
ney, who ought to aid each other to per
severe in the road to happier life.
When the millions applaud you, ssri"
ously ask what harm you have dom
when they censure you, what good.
We may initiate the Deity in all attri'
bures, but mercy is the only one in which
we can pretend to equal him. We can
not indeed give like God but surely we
may forgive like him.
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices
or duties, but of little things in which
smiles and kindness and small obliga-
tions given habitually, are what win and
preserve the heart and secure comfort.

The New Tiute Chref.



Yesterday afternoon, at formal con-
clave of the Plutes, Captain Sam, a halls
brother of the late Captain Bob, was
duly elected chief of the Piutes OF
Storey county and vicinity. There
were about forty of the head men OF the
tribe present, acting as a sort OF electoral
commission. No popular vote was all
lowed, and there is no appeal from the
decision of the council of forty. By this
simple means the untutored savages are
relieved of the worry and annoyance o. q
campaign, and the yawp of the ungram-
matical stump-speaker is not numbered
among their affections It is said that
Sam did a little log-rolling or wire~
pulling for the place that is, he spent
about $175 "ixing'' doubtful members
of the council, and then went around
assuring every body on his houor as q
gentleman that he didn't want the place.
He finally yielded to a heavy pressure
and took lt-atter the manner O. Richard
III. His first official proclamation is to
the whites. He called at the Chronicle
Office this morning, and desired the
paper to give notice to all white men
that no liquor must be sold by them to
any Indian in Storey county. He has
purchased a new blue shirt, and now
looks like one born to command.

Pru amg FF1pevlnea.

Thirty years ago physicians were in
the habit of drawing a pint of blood
from every patient. No matter what his
disease was, he must be bled The con.
sequence was that they gradually drew
out the living principle of the people
who fell into their hands. Many CRAZE
grow rs are now doing the same thing to
their vines. T'ey think that if certain
amount Of sap runs through cane
bearing fruit, and if 8 portion of that
cane be cut off the entire vitality of the
cane will be di1u-ed through what re-
mains of it. Mistaken iiea. You may
take two can1s, each five, ten, or fifteen
feet long, and each bearing three clusters
of grapes. If you cut one off to within
foot of the fruit, the grapes on tire
uncut cane will ripen ju-t as early and
will be as good, if not better, than those
on the cane that is cut off, The reason
g, that the loots of the vine supply all
the sap that the grapes and canes require
and by cutting back canes the first re.
ceives no more nourishment than it did
before the canes were cut, because it car
receive but certain amount. Toe only
way to improve the size and quality Of
grapes is, when vine is heavily truited
to thin out the clusters, and this should
be done in June.

Chinese Schools.

A remarkable example of the eccen-
tricity of the Chinese turn of mind is
noticeable in their schools, where. ius
stead of silence being incuicate3, rs
might naturally be considered SO essen
tial, every child is expected to bawl out
the lesson that he is committing to
memory at the top of his voice and the
babel which is the result may be more
easily imagined than described. When
Chinese boy goes up to 1epest his les
sons. he does not stand facing his tutor,
but turns his back upon him, and hence
repeating lesson goes by the familiar
name OF " backing it. This method of
recitation has an excellent effect in
keeping the boy on the qni vive to avoid
mistakes, for no sooner does he commit
one mistake than he is called to recollec.

The real needs of poultry are few and
sim pie. They are: Warm, dry, vermin-
proof roosting and laying quarters, clean
water, gravel, lime and variety of grain
to choose from. L sny hens are found
lousy or sickly under such conditions,
cut off their toe-nails just behind their
ears, and the flock will be better for it,
Why should We expect to have good
poultry and eggs upon our tables, it we
dose the poor creatures Id the time upon
nonsensical nostrums? Poultry do best
when made to work, that is, to scratch
for their living. Feed them one full
meal of mixed grain every morning at
sunrise, and let them have ample range
the rest OF the day. Change the trea.-
ment from nonsense to common sense for
a mutual benefit.
