IT Is long time since London has been
visited By really first class conjurer. for the
simple reason that he generally finds it too
hot to hold him. For no sooner does the new
wizard make his appearance than the entire
metropolitan eonjurng fraternity attends ms
PERFORMANCES, ana before the week Is out al
his best tricks which have perhaps cost him
years of thought and practice, are exposed
for sale at moderate cost in all the magical
re ositories' in town. This was the case
some years ago with the famous French con-
juror, Du Buatier, and again last year with
the American HarZ.
CURIOUS discrimination was lately made
on the Belgian frontier between the clothes
worn by a tourist and those in his baggage, in
regard 10 protection against cholera. 4
passenger on The French Northern Railway
was refused trans pOrtatiOn for his trunk at
the Belgian station because the clothing in 1t
was not worn by the owner but transported
by "a third party. This decision is criticised
as rather hard on tourists. who are apt to
need more than one suit, and who cannot,
ike elephants, carry their trunks themselves;
and as IA anitary precautiOn, both irritating
and useless.
Is religious paper an English rector has
lately given examples of the way in which
children IN national schools are taught to
rabble over the church catechism. One wrote,
| TO bear no manners or aired in my heart"
Another, ITO sucker my father, obey the
Queen and ALI that Is put IN thorlty; to sub
| init myself to my governess, teachers, spirit
pastors" Another, suffered under the
POntiOus Plate, was cruClhed, he descended
into heaven" Another, My duty towards
my nabOur is to do to no men as would, and
| no TO obey the Queen etc. These are sam
pies of fifteen examples Of what Is called
rel glOus instruction..
wRIrING about the Hoffman House, in New
York, reminds me, says writer in the Tri-
54ns, of the magnificent piece Of
| tapestry that hangs on the east
| side Of the barrOom there. | once heard a
| clergyman use il as an illustration with great
| effect. 1t was made by a worker who stood
| on the reverse side, pulling his threads IN ac-
| cOrdauce with a pattern which lay before
| him. and never seeing the face of the tapestry
| until il was a completed picture. The orator
| likrned such work to a Christian life, follow
| ing a given pattern and weaving a symmetr
| cal life picture which could not be seen until
| after death. Last summer | met the clergy
man by chance at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
| ne tapestry was mentioned, and he expressed
| a desire to see it. AS we walked into the gOr-
| geaus barrOom, he tool off his hat and stood
| rs have seen humble rustics stand in great
| cathedral. | suggested that he replace his
| hat, so as not to attract attention, and he did
so. AS we left the hotel, friend stopped me
with that clergyman?" he asked. "how did
| you know" l rel lined. Il saw him take of
| mis- hat" was the answer.
