Skill of the Oriental Jugglers.

The Jap is the most skilled of all ORR
entail jugglers. The wonderful tales re-
lated of the marvellous feats performed
by the conjurers of India are mere fairy
stories. The Indian juggler does not
compare in skill with the professional
magicians of America or Europe. Their
tricks are such clumsy affairs that they
can not be termed optical illusions. No
trained western performer would think
of giving them as they do. Crude as
they are, however, they have furnished
most of the ideas for the development of
the wonderful stage illusions of the day.
The Indian juggler has neither skill nor
enterprise. He does not travel to other
lands, but remains at home and gives his
little performances in the streets and
squares. He knows nothing of the science
employed in latter-day legerdemain. He
does not understand what electricity or
compressed air means. For, you must
know, electricity and compressed air are
the modern magician's most important
tools. Some of our best illusions are
performed by the means of delicate
crushable glass used to confine the com
pressed air. The stories of the marvels
the Indian performs have their origin in
the prolific oriental imagination. -

sPoTTsYLvANIA's HEAVY ARTILLERY

How They Were at First Derided by the
Infantry-sobered Down.
Down the road we heard the stirring
music of martial bands. Soon the head
of a column of troops came in sight. Of
ficers were riding on horses that pranced
at the head of the soldiers. The men
were neatly clad, and their brass Shout
templates shone brightly in the sun.
"The heavy artillerymen from the
Notifications around Washington" one
of my comrades murmured.
The fresh soldiers were marching beau
tifully. They were singing loudly and
tunefully. They were apparently pleased
with the prospect of fighting in defense
of their country. For some reason the
infantry of the line-the volunteer in
fantry-did not admire heavy artillery
men. They liked light artillerymen, and
were encouraged by the presence Of the
guns on the battle-line. There was some
thing inspiring in the work of the gun
ners and in the noisy reports of the can
mons; and, then, cannon were deadly,
and if well served and accurately aimed
they could and did pulverize charging
columns. But heavy artillerymen were
soldiers of different breed. There was
a widespread belief among us that these
men had enlisted to that arm because
they expected to fight behind earth
works, or to safely garrison the forts
uyhinh cd UoohiD,>ko,,
The head of the heavy artillery col
umn, the men armed as infantry, was
thrust among the wounded who lined
the roadside. These bloody wrecks of
soldiers derided the newcomers. Men
would tauntingly point to shattered
arm, or wounded leg, or to bloody
wounds on their faces, or to dead men
lying in fence corners, and derisively
shout: "That is what you will catch up
yonder in the woods!" and they would
solemnly indicate the portion of the for
est they meant by extending arms from
which blood trickled in drops. saw
one group of these wounded men re-
peatedly cover and uncover with a
blanket dead man whose face was hor-
ribly distorted, and show the courage
sapping spectacle tothe marching troops,
and family chuckle and cause their pale
cheeks to bulge with derisive tongue
thrusts as they saw the heavy artillery
mems faces blanch.
Still Others would inquire in mock
solicitous tones as to the locality of their
cannon, and then tenderly inquire of
some soldier whose bearing or dress
caught their attention: why, dearest,
why did you leave your breastwork be-
hind your" And they would hobble along
and solemnly assure the man that he had
made serious mistake, and that he
should have brought it along, as he
would need it in yonder woods, pointing
with outstretched, bloody arms to the
forest, where the battles roar resounded
Others assumed attitudes of mock ad
miration and gazed impudently and con
temptuously at the full regiments as
they marched by. Long before the heavy
artillerymen had passed through the
bloody gauntlet their songs were hushed
They became grave and sober minded
For the first time they realized what wa,
meant.-Frank Wilkeson in Chicago

McMNVIILE TENNESSEE SATURDAY, OCT 1886
A PLAN OF Givinr nlnners.

There is prejudice against boarding
houses in New York. AT all events it is
exceedingly questionable to live in one
and the people who are not supplied by
caterers from choice, are from awe OF
the form of fashion. Contracts to serve
meals may be made with the big restau-
rants at rates far below the regular fig
ures on the bill of fare. But perhaps
the caterer is most highly appreciated
by people who entertain. Instead of
bulldozing the regulation Irish COOK into
preparing a dinner for a number of
guests note to the caterer settles it all.
There is then no hurry, no delay, no
wranglings with servants and the surety
of good dinner we'll and promptly
served.
Half an hour before it is time for the
guests to arrive, a wagon of the hearse
pattern, with chimney through the
roof, drives up. Nimble assistants carry
in the wine from the refrigerator in one
end of the wagon, and the edibles from
the hot compartments in the other end.
Everything is here, from the flowers to
the salt. The regular servants retire
and the caterer takes possession of the
kitchen, pantry and dining-room until
the guests have gone. Then the wagon
drives up again, and in twenty minutes
all traces of the dinner party, whether
to six or 100 guests, have disappeared.
This plan of giving dinners grows more
and more popular every year. New
York Letter.

Demonstrating the Polarity of Tadpoles.

Demonstrating the Polarity OF Tadpoles.
The following is reported about an in
teresting experiment of the Psychologist
Professor l.. Herman. In fiat bowl
filled with water, in which number of
IA days'-old frog larvae (of Rama temper
aria) were disporting themselves, were
sunk along the narrow side, ready for an
experiment, thick zinc wires connected
with battery of twenty little zinc car
bon elements. When the current was
made, the whole of the little animals
fell into wriggling motion, which soon
ceased. But all the larvae without ex-
ception had taken up one position, in
which the head was turned to the anode
and the tail to the cathode. The ami
mails remained in this position till the
current was again broken, when they
again fell into the wriggling motion, but
now less violently. Repeated expert
ments proved that the living animals
showed decided polarity, placing them
selves along the stream lines of cur
rent with their heads all in one direction,
the direction being reversed when the
current was reversed. An explanation
of this interesting phenomenon has not
hitherto been given.-Centralblatt fur
Elektrotechnik.

A City Crowd ed with Singers.

Miss Lenore Tiff is with her mother
in Milan, they having gone there imme-
diately after the collapse of a certain
Italian opera company in London, of
which Tiff was the one redeeming fea-
ture. l have just had letter from her,
in which she says: milan is full of moth
ing but singers looking for something to
do; the streets are crowded with them,
and if it were not for learning the Ian
guage better and of getting ready for the
fall l should get out very quickly. To
give you an idea of the number of lyric
sopranos here looking for engagements
counted the names of 1876 in one paper
alone, and there are just as many con-
traltos, too, and tenors.
"True to what you told me, few days
after our arrival | was inundated with
brilliant offers for equally brilliant en-
gagements, and asked to subscribe to
brilliant musical journals-all of which
meant for me to put my hand way deep
into my pocket, and after having done
so l should have found that all their en-
ticing offers had melted into thin air.
Last week refused an engagement for
a little place called Imola, but it would
not have paid me, as they wanted me to
sing for nothing, and thought that a
great deal, as the impresario, Manzoni,
said he could get many Americans who
would pay him to let them sing in his
theatre. But l don't believe anything OF
the sort-at any rate, 1 hope, for the
sake of our girls, that lie was lying. "

Cheap BOOKS fcoiishss IL Gnslaro.

The publication of cheap books in Eng
land, as well as here, has led to a mar
velous improvement in the character of
the works issued for popular circulation.
Instead of the familiar penny dreadfuls
and shilling shockers, the cream of Eng
lish literature is now found in the book
stalls and on the railway news stands at
price accessible to all A strange
feature of the change is that American
writers now compete in England with
the home authors-Hawthorne, Holmes,
Whittier, Howells and James, not to
mention Longfellow, being almost in
variably found beside Dickens, Thack-
cray, Disraeli, Blackmore, Collins, Black
and Tennyson. 1t is a good thing for
the public, but we fear the authors lose
by it.-New York Graphic.

How Some Married Women Go to Sleep

Chicago Tribune.
There is an article going the rounds
entitled, Chow the Girls Go ITO Sleep"
The manner in which they go tosleep,
according to the article, can't hold a
candle to the way married women go
to sleep.
Instead of thinking of what she
should have attended to before going
to bed, she thinks of it afterward.
While she is revolving these matters
in her mind, and while snugly tucked
up in bed, the old man is scratching
his head in front of the fire and
wondering how he will pay the next
month'srent. Suddenly exclaims;
"James, did you lock the door,"
"What door?" says James.
"The celler door," says she.
"No," says James.
"Well, you had better go down and
lock it, for l heard some one in the
back yard last night"
Accordingly, James paddles down
the stairs and locks the door. About
the time James returns and is going
to bed, she remarks:
"Did you shut the stair door,"
''No," says James.
"Well, if it is not shut the cat will
get up into the chamber"
"Let her come up, then," says
James, ill-naturedly.
"My goodness, noW returns his
wife, "she'd suck the baby's BREATH"
Then James paddles down stairs
again and steps on a tack, closes the
stair door, curses the cat, and returns
to the bed room. Just as he begins
to climb into his couch his wife OBJ
serves:
81 forget to bring up some water.
Suppose you bring up some in the
big tin"
And James, with a muttered curse,
goes down into the dark kitchen and
falls over chair and raps all the tin
ware off the wall in search of the tin,
and then jerks the stair door open and
bowls: "Where the deuce are the
matches ?"
She gives him minute directions
where to find the matches, and adds
that she would rather 60 and get the
water herself than to have the whole
neighborhood raised about it; after
which James finds the matches and
procures the water, and comes up
stairs and plunges into bed.
Presently his wife says: "James
let's have an understanding about
money matters. Now, next week
I've got to pay"
81 don't know what you'll have to
pay and don't care" shouts James as
he lurches around and jams his face
against the wall, "all want is Sleep"
''That's all very well for yOu,"
snaps his wife, as she pulls the covers
viciously, "you never think of the
worry and trouble have. There is
Araminta, who / believe is taking the
measles"
"Let her take 'em.' says James.
Hereupon she begins to cry softly,
but about the time James is falling
into a gentle sleeptshe punches him
in the ribs with her elbows and says:
"Did you hear the scandle about
Mrs. Jones?"
"Where?" says James sleepily.
"Why, Mrs. Jones'"
"Where" inquiries James.
81 declare" said his wife, "you are
getting more stupid every day. YOU

When Bacteria Are Most Numerous.
During what portion of the day are
bacteria or organic germs most numer-
ously present in the atmosphere! Mons.
MIGUEL, member of the Paris Society of
Public Medicine, has been trying to dis
cover the true answer to this question,
and he has found the number largest be-
tween and O'Clock in the morning,
and smallest at about o'clock in the
afternoon. In the night he finds also a
maximum at and minimum at 2.
These results would indicate that the
best times to open house for ventilation
would be o'clock in the afternoon and
o'clock in the morning. This is well
enouh in summer, but the early ventila-
ton will hardly be favorable in winter.
