A Wonderful Mesmerizer.

Strange stories come from India of
the feats performed by. a native mes
merizer named BUM, whose magnetic
power would appear to be found quite
irresistible by the lower animals, upon
which lie exclusively exerts it. He
gives seances, to which tho public are
invited to bring all manner of ferocious
and untamable wild beasts, and holds
them with his glittering eye. In few
seconds they snbside into condition
Of cataleptic stiffness, from which they
can only be revived by certain passes
which he solemnly executes with his
right hand. A snake in a violent state
of irritation was brought to Buni by
menagerie proprietor, inclosed in a
wooden cage. When deposited on the
platform it was writhing and kissing
tiercely. BUM bent over the cage ana
fixed his eye upon it's occupant, gently
waving his hand over the serpent's
restless head. In less than minute the
snake stretched itself out, stiffened,
and lay apparently dead. BUM took it
body, but it gave no sign of life. A
few passes then restored it to it's former
angry activity. Subsequently savage
dog, held in a leash by it's owner, was
brought in, and, at Buni's command,
let loose upon him. As it was rushing
toward him, bristling with fury, he
raised his hand, and in a second the
fierce brute dropped upon its belly, as
though stricken by lightning. It seemed
absolutely paralyzed by some unknown
agency; and was unable to move a
muscle until released from the mag
netizers spell by majestic wave of his
hand.

Coming OF Are.

1t is common to soy that q young
man comes Of age" 81. This means
that he is then old enough to manage
his own property, to do business for
himself, and to be made to do as he has
agreed; also to vote. Before he is q.
IT he has any property, his father OF
guardian manages it for him; he ia, not
expected to do business on his own &C.
count; and if he makes foolish bargains.
he can say I have changed my mind.'
There are several other ages which are
important; indeed, person may be
said to be looming of age" for different
purposes at different times all through
his life. From his very birth he is of
age to be owner of property, aid to be
protected from violence and cheating.
At years he becomes of ago to be
punished for a crime, if it can lie shown
that he was bright, intelligent lad, had
been taught somewhat, and knew that
the thing he did was against the law
and would be punished. These things
are not taken for granted until he be-
comes IA. From and after IA it il sup
posed that youth knows enough to re-
train from attacking people, or stealing,
eor setting houses or fire, or things; Of
that kind. At IA, also, he TO- Of age>to
be asked, ii his father should die, whom
ne will choose a. guardian; and Of age

A Chinese Rim.

Never heard the Chinese version of
Rip Van Wrinkle, did you? The Chi
nese Rip was patriarch named Wang
Chih. He was gathering frewood one
day on tho mountains of Ku Chow,
when he found q grotto where some old
men were playing chess. As he watched
them one Of them gave him what looked
like date-stone, telling him to put it
in his mouth. No sooner had he tasted
it than he ceased to feel hunger and
thirst. By and by one of the players
said: 1T is long since You came here !;
you should go home now" Wang Chih
went to take up his az, and found the
handle had moldered into dust. On
dismayed, however, he went home, but
found that centuries had passed since
he went out wood-cutting. No vestige
of his knsfolk remained. He retreat
ed to a cell in the mountains, and, de.
voting himself to religious exercises,
finally attained immortality.

Fasting Pe0ple.v

At intervals one reads of some wonder
iul man or woman who processes to ex-
LIST without food; and so clever is their
management it is hardly possible to dis
cover the fraud. There was the famous
case OF q fasting" Englishwoman ut the
beginning Of the present century. Her
fame spread abroad and brought her
crowds of visitors and q good income.
ESQ having been derived from their
bounty In two years. She eluded one
test" with success and ventured upon
another, but this time the watchers were
keener, and, on the ninth day, being so
weak that her death seemed imminent,
she signed confession that her story Of
tasting for six years was O falsehood.
Inc tirst watchers had been deceived for
three weeks by her daughters giving her
food when kissing her or when washing
her face with towels dipped in milk or
Cruel by squeezing the liquid into her
mouth. In 1871 a fasting man. named
'Cavanagh, appeared at READING: he was
detected in his fraud, however. and. Nov.
20, was sent to prison and stuffed for
three months. In September. 1852. a
certain Elizabeth Squirrel bamboozled a
NUMBER OF professional men of good
standing into believing that. she had
lived for three months without food and
IN the enjoyment of communion with
ange1c. visitors, but q rigid watch dis
closed fraud. In 1867 began the famous
case OF Sarah Jacob, the Welsh fasting
girl. She was 10 years old. and. after
strong convalsions of an 'epilentiform
character, gradually lost her appetite till,
N October, abe ate nothing but a bit of
apple the nze Of o pill daily. After that,
her parents stated, abe ate nothino at
- d her 3ame Has noised abroad, and
2onslae4apQle profit was derived from Wis
sito1s: FINALLY, during! q rigorous watch.
u!4oeftaken: hY four :n1,rses abe died
SIMPLY starved g deathl Tbs heartless
parents were indicted for menalanohter.

Not In the Bills.

The Omaha Herald gives this des-
cription of a decidedly animated scene
which, though not on the house bills,
was enacted on the stage at Denver,
Col, not great while ago:
The play was one of Buffalo Bills.
There are several ~pictures," as the
profession terms them-tableaux, the
spectators call them-during the play.
One of these is the Mountain Meadow
massacre, which is illuminated and in
tensi6ed by all the glory and glare of
blue and red fire. Some one surrepti-
tiously mingled aquantity of red pepper
with the material for producing tinted
fame, and the result was somewhat sur
prising, and created great CONSERVATION
among the temporary corpses. The
admixture, instead Of burning with
serene halo, went on tear, Kissed,
cracked, and flew in fiery, blister;ng
showers ever the hands and faces of the
boys who held the pans, and over those
of the dead, whose vitality was restored
in mirac1lously natural manner. A
murdered woman who lay prone upon
her back, with her head horribly gashed
and yawning, bleeding slit across her
beautiful throat-dead as door-nail-
was splashed, and revived with start
ling suddenness. She howled, groaned
and Topped over, exclaiming, 90! o.!
Ny God! My eyes are burning out;
I'll diet" Other corpses writhed, rolled,
Topped, howled and groaned. An
immoderate amount of profanity bub-
bled from resurrected lips, and resur-
rected lungs poured ont vast volumes
Of hard, hoarse coughs as the curtain
cut the sight from the auditorium. Sew
eral of the stage people suffered many
small! blisters, but none were very So
riously injured.

He at ana gszed With placid mien
And cheerful and confident smile
At tho little square box with the gem fifteen, :"
And ho said he'd bet his pile
That he could dgger 1t out right thar; s,''
30 he jumbled the blocks about,
And then he remarked: It's simple, I sWar,
And reckon I'LL WORK 1t out.'
SO no tackled it sharp for An hour OF more,
And his hands he ran through his hair,
A he jumped right up and fearfully swore,
And his eyes had = maniac's glare,
That he'd ..bs dashed Il tho dash dashed foo,
Z That invented this game was here,
He'd smash his dash, dash, dashed skull
And chaW OF m end OF his ear"
But after another hot hour had flown
Tho bead drops down gan to roll,
And he raved In way that, the people Ill ssy,
Struck terror to each watching SOUL,
For-thirteen- een-fourteep-alasl
Were al that he got for his pains,
30 he frandcally swallowed Of poison glass,
And with bullet he bored out his brains.
