IMPORTED SLANG.
The Most Odlous ContOrtion of LanguaR
Known to Mankind.

The Most OdlOus COntOrtiOn OF Language
Known to Mankind.
Slang is not a desirable addition to
any language, but we never heard of
any language without it. Elegant and
magnificent Paris possesses probably
the largest slang vocabulary in the
world. The slang of the Partisan
thieves, loafers and street Arabs was
carefully studied by Victor Hugo, who
not only employed it in the speech of
some of the characters of his greatest
novel but devoted many pages to a
discussion of its derivation, force and
expressiveness.
The French novelist Daudet, also, is
we'll acquainted with the much smaller,
but almost equally curious vocabulary
of fashionable slang, which presents
the additional difficulty Of changing
with every season. English writer's,
too, are obliged to study slang if they
wish their characters to appear natural,
for London Society-with a capital s.
employs more slang and worse slang
in conversation than educated persons
anywhere else. We perceive with dis
may, therefore, a tendency among
Americans to emphasize their speech
with imported slang as well as that
native to the soil.
Now, American slang is bad enough;
but we are, in some degree, hardened
to it. The word dude has long since
ceased to excite astonishment mug
Damp is an accepted fact, and boodtc
adopted from the thieves vocabulary
is fast coming to have familiar sound.
The slang phrases employed in COM
mon conversation, although unpleas'
ing, are not disgusting, and are fre-
quently expressive. 10 get left, for in
stance, conveys, in the briefest and
most forcible form, an idea which II
might take some time to state In cor
rect language.
But English slang is different 1t Is
silly. 1t is inexpensive. It is some
times revolving. No good American,
we are sure, could bring himself to use
it. We advise our readers to distrusi
any one who speaks the slang dialect
habitually, to carefully avoid any per
son who talks about cGds, and to. looh
upon the individual who is capable o.
saying rot, for rubbish, as hopelessly
beyond the pale Of civilizatiop,-M y

MODERN MAGIC.
Tho Simple Secret VI the Marvellous
"Tallslng Head"

Tno simple -SecreB % bue AhrbeAoU
1Taiklng Head"
In modern times magicians have
made much use Of mirrors. The cele-
brated "Sphinx" trick, or Talking
Head" which caused such profound
sensation when 1t was first brought
out few years ago, owed its astonish.
ing effect entirely I'd the aid Of mirrors
Not even the marvellous automatic
chess-player of Maezel is at all to be
compared to the "Sphinx," which
may justly be regarded as the most re-
markable illusion ever invented for the
bewilderment of mankind.
But while the possibility OF hiding
the person of d dwarf within the box
upon which the chess=player was seat!
ed might have occurred to any one as
a solution Of the mystery, it was diff
cult for the spectator to imagine how
an agency other than supernatural
could be connected with head which
lay on q dish on a plain four-legged
table in the middle Of the stage, and
talked and smoked d pipe with as mitch
Sang-troid as if it had belonged to
reasonable human being.
AS has been said, the table was
placed in the stage, in full view. The
head lay in dish on the table; it was
evidently independent Of human agen-
cy, for the audience could see under
the table, and there was nothing there.
Beneath the table were visible the cur
tains at the back of the stage, which
was hung all around with dark cloth
reaching to the floor. 1t is not surpris-
ing that this marvellous "talking head"
should have excited the astonishment
of Europe, or that it should have puz-
zled the most eminent scientific men to
account for the mysterious phenome-
non; and yet, as it is the case with all
really effective tricks, the riddle Of the
sphinx was an exceedingly simple one.
A man was actually under the table
with his head through hole In the
top, but his body was concealed by
mirrors SO adroitly disposed that they
reflected the curtains at the sides Of the
stage, thus producing an optical illu-
sion by which the spectator was led to
believe that he was looking under the
table and seeing the hanging at the
back. The deception is so perfect that
it is almost impossible, even with 8
person who is acquainted with the nat.
ure of the illusion, to realize that it is
such.
An effect somewhat similar is pro
duced by large plain mirror inclined
away from the audience at an angle O
forty-fve degrees. In the middle o.
the glass is hole through which the
performer passes his head, which
seems to float in the air, the body O.
the man being concealed behind the
mirror.
Another famous trick is the "box'
trick. A large box is raised from thu
floor in the middle of the stage, 81
that the spectators can see around ant
under it. The performer gets into thu
box and closes it. When it is opened
again he has disappeared, or skeleton
is found in its place. The man is con
cealed by mirrors swinging on hinges
which reflect the sides of the box, s.
that the audience think it is empty
