Chinese Magic.

\ gentleman who has lived among
the Chinese tells, as an illustration
of their abilities as magicians, an in
cident that took place under his own
eye, and in his own room, where APP
parently there was no chance for de.
ception.
The magician was naked from the
waist upward, and his only magical
instrument seemed to be a strip OF
white cloth twisted about his loins.
Taking a dish of unlocked rice the
iuggler covered it with his mysterious
girdle, squatted before it and began
his incantations which continued fol
half an hour. During this process
hls bare arms were passing to and frC
beneath the cloth, and this was all
the gentleman saw him do. At last
the linen was removed and lol there
were six plates filled with cooked edi.
bles of various kinds, while a dish OF
boiled rice had replaced the one con
tanning raw rice
Another gentleman describing how
he was deluded, says
"a juggler in the open street seized
boy or 6 years of age, dragged
him struggling into the circle, threw
him on his back, and in spite of tn,
boys agonized cries and the remon
strances of the people, apparently
nearly decapitated him. The victim
gradually became motionless, while
the blood streamed from the wound
Finally the magician removed tn,
knife, muttered a few words, called
aloud TO the child, who soon showed
signs of life, and at last raised him {,
his feet, when the boy appeared un
harmed. Both actors in this strang,
scene were literally rewarded by The
crowd, and the boy ran off to play
with his wondering companions.

GOING TO SEA IN CANOE.
The Long Voyage that MIR. >toddard
L. About TO Take In the Atlantic.
From the New York sun.

A tall, slender man of 40, with
sharp features, earnest black eyes. a
closely trimmed beard. and fierce
mustache, sat among litter of uten-
sllS and hampers in the shade of the
Knickerbocker, Canoe Clubhouse on
the North River at the foot of Eigh-
tieth street. Opposite to him q pale
little man sat astride of big canoe.
The tall man was Mr.. S. b. stoddard,
the canoeist of Glen's Falls, who is
going TO sail his little craft up the
Sound, out upon the ocean, and around
into the st. Lawrence. and the small
man was his companion of the voy-
age, Professor Charles Oblenis of AL
bany.
The canoe is the Atlantis, an 1S-foot
cedar she'll, about 40 inches beam,
and is inches deep, drawing inches
O! water, with copper rudder and cens
terboard. She is covered with light
decks fore and aft There is plenty
of room to stow away the voyagerS,
together with pots, kettles, pans, a
gasoline stove, canned meats mys-
FERROUS bottles, water tanks, and
blankets. Included in the kits is a
dry plate Photographic camera and
outfit a gun, sun canopy, water
proofs, and two large, light muslin
sails Every thing is selected with an
eye 10 its capacity for being slowed
away; but as Captain Billy remarked.

morning, bright and early, said Mr..
Stoddard, Our trip from home has
been very pleasant. if not exciting.
We started from Glen's Falls ON Tues
day, the eth, and iourneyed by easy
stages through the thirteen locks to

Hudson, we spread our sails to the

John Burroughs on Cows.

Blessed is he whose youth was
passed upon the farm, and if it was a
dairy farm his memories will be all
the more fragrant The driving of
the COWS to and from the pasture,
every day and every season for years
how much of summer and Of nature
he got into him on those journeys
what rambles and excursions did this
errand furnish excuse forl The birds
and birds nests, the berries, the SPUR
rels, the woodchucks, the beech woods
with their treasures into, which the
cows loved so to wander and to browse,
the fragrant wintergreen, and hun
dred nameless adventures all strung
upon that brief journey of half mile
to and from the remote pastures.
Sometimes one COW or two will be
missing when the herd is brought home
at night; then to hunt them up is
another adventure Ny grandfather
went out one night to look up an alb
sentee from the yard, when he heard
something in the bush and out stepped
a bear in the path before him.
Every Sunday morning the COWS
must be sailed The farm-boy takes
a pail with three or four quarts of
coarse salt, and followed by the eager
goes to herd, the field and deposits
the salt in handfuls upon smooth
stones and rocks, and upon clean
places on the turf. If you want to
know how good salt is, see COW eat
it. She gives the true saline smack
How she dwells upon it and gnaws
the sward and ticks the stones where
it has been deposited
The COW is the most delightful feed
er among animals 1t makes ones
mouth water to see her eat pumpkins
and o see her at a pile Of apples is at
tracing. How she sweeps off the de
lectable grass. The sound Of her
grazing is appetizing; the grass betrays
all its sweetness and succulency in
parting under her sickle.

Croakers who are bowling about the

should remember that, We're it not for
over-coinage, the masons who build
these expensive silver vaults might

Mrs. Walkers Carriers

In Chatham, n. H., Mrs Sally
Walker, wife of the late Isaac Walker,
of that town, went blueberrying upon
Dear Hill" with party of ladies,
and, while passing over a large ledge,
she saw cooled up i'll the form of a
large plate a huge rattlesnake Pro
curing a stick she succeeded in killing
it, and severed its head with a sharp
stone. Considering that rattlesnake
oil was very valuable for lameness,
she was almost to her wits end how to
procure it; but, as woman is never at
a loss to carry out her purpose, this
was not an exception. She disrobed
herself of her carriers, and tying one
end around the headless suckership's
neck and the other to the back part Of
her dress, she dragged it home three
miles and carried two large pals Of
berries. The snake measured four feet
long, and had seven rattles.

Household Notes.

When ivory handled knives become
yellow, they can be cleaned by rub
bing them brisl,iy with emery or sand
paper
A small piece of salt pork boiled
with fricasseed chicken will impart a
richness to the gravy, and the flavor
will be better than if nothing but but
ter is used.
To keep dried fruit from becoming
wormy scatter among it pieces of
sassafras bark.
Horseradish cut in thin strips
length wise. and a dozen or more of
these strips placed on the top of each
keg of pickles, will keep them from
becoming stale or mouldy.
A good mixture to have in the
house is composed of aqua ammonia
two ounces, soft water one quart, salt
petre one teaspoonful, shaving soap
one ounce Scrape the soap fine be-
fore mixing the other ingredients, and
allow it to stand q few hours before
using. 1t is sure death TO bed begs if
applied to crevices which they in
habit; it will remove paint that is
mixed with oil without injuring tho
finest fabrics, and will remove grease
from the carpets by covering the
spots with the mixture, and after
sponging and rubbing it thoroughly
wash it off with clear cold-water.
Moths can be successfully removed
from carpets in the following manner
Wiring coarse towel out of clear
water, spread it smoothly on the car
pet, iron it dry with a good hot iron,
repeating the operation wherever the
moths are supposed to be. No need
to press hard, and the ply or color of
the carpet will not be injured, as the
moths are destroyed by tie heat and
steam.
A pretty way To cover the upper
part of handsome chair is to buy a
fowl of fine quality, and with heavily
fringed ends tie the centre of the
towel with a ribbon or cord tightly
to the ends of a necktie, put the tied
centre of the towel in the middle of
the back of the chair, and spread the
ends out, putting a bow of ribbon AT
the centre where the towel is tied.
This is a particularly good tidy for a
gentleman high backed chair, as he
may lean his head on either side
without soiling the chair.
To sharpen scissors, take a coarse
sewing needle, and hold it firmly be
tween the thumb and forefnger of the
left hand: then take your scissors in
your right hand, and cut them
smoothly from handle to point. The
dullest scissors, unless they are en-
tirely worn out, can soon be sharpen
ed in this way.
If YOU put little sugar of lead in
the water in which you first wash a
muslin or calico, and lett remain in
the water a while, the colors will re
main brilliant
