The Basket Trick.

Between the British and the Indian juggler
there is one great and important difference.
The former has all the usual elaborate para
phernalia of home magical entertainments-a
prepared stage, back curtains, tables, chairs,
boxes &c; the latter has nothing of the sort;
all his appliances are contained in a cotton
bag which he carries about with him; he is
nearly naked, and his stage is the ground or
stone floor of a veranda. Very often two or
three jugglers combine and pay visits to the
bungalows, thus giving variety to the per
formance-for each juggler has his own
tricks. Recently had visit from an ANAL
oamated troupe consisting of seven members
five men, one woman, and boy. Probably
the seven had conjoined their entertainments
for that particular day only, and next day
they might be performing separately again.
IF give description of what that party of
seven did, you will have fair idea of a Jug
Cling entertainment in India. Two of the
seyen-one man and the woman-performed
single trick only, 12amely, the famous bas-
ket trick. The man took an oblong basket
about two feet long, and one foot broad, and,
say, one foot six inches high. The woman
was bound hand and foot with ropes, and
put into a net made of rope, which was
securely tied, SO that she was practically in
1AAoS~A
placed in the basket on her knees. But
two-year-old child would have filed the
basket, and the result was that the whole of
the woman's person, from the loins upward,
was above the basket. The woman bent her
head the juggler placed the lid of the basket
| on her shoulders, and threw sheet over the
whole, hiding both woman and basket from
view. In about minute he pulled away the
| sheet, folding it up in his hands, and behoIdl
the lid was in its proper place and the woman
was gonei The juggler then took a sword
about five feet long, and with it he pierced
the basket through and through in all direc-
tions, horizontally, diagonally, upwa1d, and
downward, but there was no sign of anyone
| inside He even removed the lid, jumped
| into the basket with his feet, and danced IN
/ it, until one came to the conclusion that
wherever the woman had gone to she was
not inside The juggler again took the sheet,
| and after we had examined 1t ne spread 16
| over the basket, holding it tent-shaped, the
! anex where his hand was being about three
feet from the ground In minute he with
drew the sheet once more, and beholdl the
| woman was back in her old position on her
| knees in the basket; but the ropes and net
Ihad disappeared and she was unbound This
] trick has a few variations, one of which is

Russian scientific authorities announce
that the agitation of water is a very impor-
tant element in its purity. For example,
| the Neva river in motion showed under
| analysis 300 bacteria in a cubic centimeter of
| water, while in the conduit, fed by the Neva,
/ the proportion of bacteria was 10000 to the
eentimeter Water containing a known
quantity of bacteria was violently stirred by
| a centrifugal machine for an hour and then
an analysis showed that 80 per cent. of the
bacteria had disappeared. Apparently wa
ter isn't much like politics, in getting purity
| from agitation, but it is important to know
that scientific men are coming to believe
again in the theory Of disturbance and aera-
ton.
| In a paper eyes read before the late Eng
l1sh social congress it is said that very quiet
eyes, which impress and embarrass one with
their repose, signify not only self command
but also much complacency and some con-
| ceit. Restless eyes that cannot look one
steadily in the face denote a deceitful, de-
signing mind. Eyes in which the white has
| yellowish tinge and is streaked with red
| dish veins indicate strong passion and hasty
temper. Very blue eyes bespeak mind in
clined to coquetry. Gray eyes signify digni-
| ty, intelligence and excellent reasoning facul-
ties; greenish eyes falsehood and fondness
| for scandal. A malicious mind is often in
dicated by greenish eyes. Black eyes show a
passionate, lively temperament, and often a
most deceitfu1 disposition
An improved electric railway about 41 4
miles long and 80 inches gauge is now in
| operation between the cities of Frankfort and
Offenbach, the time made being about 25
minutes. The four dynamo-electric machines
are driven by two steam engines of 1875 horse
power each. In connection with the cables
| which conduct the current of electricity q
| switch is provided to regulate and direct it.
| The conductors consist of tubes slitted along
their entire length at the bottom, and insu-
lated on poles like telegraph wires. A small
| cylinder slides or runs in the tubes, and from
| this a conductor connects the car and the
/ dynamo. The use of this conductor prevents
| Interruptions and cut-outs, which are caused
| by frosts and moisture when the carriage

Rev. DR.. A. J. Gordon, of Boston, charged
that the whiskey revenue had increased 800
per cent under the patronage and protection
of the Republican party. Rev Dr. Daniel
Dorchester, we'll known temperance statis-
tician, who has given more study to the fig
ures connected with the liquor business than
any man in the country, thus meets Dr. Cor
don's charge: We find the statistics that
have been accepted give for 1860 SO, 900, 900
of gallons of distilled liquors consumed in
the United States, including domestic and
foreign liquors, with exports deducted, OF
2.86 gallons per capita. According to DR..
Gordon's figures for 1888, which agree with
those of the government, there were 75,000,-
600 of gallons of the same kind of liquor
consumed. or 1.39 gallons per capita for 81,
000,00 of people, decrease of about one
half relatively since 1860. But the Repub-
icans came into power in 1861, and if we
should adopt DR.. Gordon's method of reason
ing we should say that the consumption of
distilled liquors has been diminished 147
gallons per capita under the Republican
administration

EDITORIAL NOTES.

After using the old one for more than a
century Paris has just completed on the same
site new postofice building sufficient for
the needs of the increased city and erected
at total cost of 100000 francs This is
less than 50 900, 900, and is certainly cheap
enough.
The Democrats are working hard to break
the force of the Ohio blow, but they do not
succeed very well. The truth is that the
glorious result practically settles the ques-
ton. If the Republicans keep on working,
| as of course they will, Blaine and Logan will
be triumphantly elected.
