The nomination of W. r. Merriam is all the
Democrats of this section could ask. Even
the exceedingly unpopular McGill was not
as distastefui as the present nominee, and

that whisky should be cheap, and the

imply were chiefly invented by French
performers of the art.
The secret of successful card manipula-
ton primarily lies in constant practice,
joined to certain natural facilities, such as
suppleness of fingers, and breadth of
palm. Houdin tells us that when his in
clination first led him to study the art,
while he was still pursuing his avocation
of matchmaker, he wore coat with pc
culiarly broad and deep pockets and keep
ing his hands in them continually, would
set to work practising with coins,
balls and cards as the case might be. His
first master, Torrin, was one of the most
proficient sleight .of-hand performers with
the cards, of his day, though his celebrat-
ed plquet trick owed its chief effectiveness
to an ingenious piece of apparatus. When
practising as physician at Florence, Tor
RIM was called in to see one of his friends,
German named Ilbermau, who had
been brought home dangerously wounded
alderman, though a doctor like Torrini,
was accustomed to spend the greater part
of bis time at the gaming table and usual
ly managed o rise there rom cDnSi lerdbie
winner. When Torriui found him, he had
been shot in the breast by a fellow gamb-
Ter, and confi1ed to his phys clan that the
duel arose out OF Il charge OF cheating pre-
ferred against HIM which on his death bed
he admitted was true. A little box was
IdsleUeu 10 MS arm luSJ ABOVE JUt WTlSI
and contained pack of specially prepar-
ed cards. when the player cut the pack
on the table. his hand covered them com
pletely, a spring was set in action by the
pressure of the fore arm on the table, and
the prepared pack slipped out of the box,
while sort of fOrceps arrangement auto
matically seized the other pack and drew
1t into the box. On this particular OccaS-
ion Iilberman's instrument had failed,
and one card left on the table eXcit-
ing his adversary's suspicious and precipi-
tated the quarrel in which the swiudler
met his death. Torrini took possession of
the cleverly contrved box, and afterward,
when he became a conjurer, used it to
play his celebrated game of piquet IN
which though bllndtolded, and with his
hands tied he invariably won, the only
time he touched the cards being when he
cut them.
What Professor Hoffman, to whom the
coniuring world is indebted for the best
treatise on ma ic yet produced, truly calls
the back bone of card conjuring j. the
SIUtC de coupe or "poSs' the effect OF
which Is TO reverse the respective posi-
tiOns Of the top and bottom petitions of the
pack, II Is used, uoC ohly by Conjurers,

cards after the cut aud wish to replace
them in their former position There are
various ways Of accOmpl ~hing this so,lp
requiring the use of both hands, Others OF
only one but the more usual, and, as II
were, the most orthodox fashion is as fol

ably the same position to a hairs -breadth.
Concealed in the central leg of the table
was a piston, or more than one If necessa-
~, and from there, motion was easily com
lnunicated to the figure as the details of
their construction will show. A brass
tube az has at it's upper end collar "B"
which is firmly screwed to the under sur
{ ice of the table. Within this tube is a
metal rod "C'' to the lower end Of which
is affixed a metal disk go" which works
freely, but without too much play up and
down the tube. A spiral spring "E' keeps
this rod forced down save when the cord
"F'' which is attached to the disk and
runs over the little pulley &C. is smartly
pulled. The cords which operate the PTS
tons are passed down the table leg and
along the stage to the confederate behind
the scenes 1t is really surprising to con.
slder how many diverse movements may
be impaired to a cleverly constructed fig
ure by this simple piece of mechanism.
Electricity was pressed into the conjur-
er's service as a valuable confederate, by
doudin, first of his fellows, and excellent
use he made of it, One of his neatest
mystery, was his crystal cashboX' which
still holds Il place in the programmes of
modern conjurers. In this trick, the per-
former borrows half a dozen coins which
are marked and then by straightforward,
or the employment may be of a "Chang-
ing" trap made TO disappear, and are found
in some peculiar place. Before giving
them back to their owners, however, a
square glass box which is manifesty emp
ty, is hung on couple of silken cords and
set a-swngng The conjurer takes up
his position at a considerable distance from
the hanging box, and holding the coins in
his hand, at given signal throws them
towards the glass casket. There is a
clinking sound, the coins fall in the plain
view of the audience into the box and the
conjurer shows his empty hand. This is

and the positions of the two portions of
the pack are reversed. The movement
appears to be complicated, and is difficult
of clear description, but in the hands of
an expert, the movement is as rapid as
lightning, and will deceive the keenest
eye.
1t is almost astonishing to a student of
the history of conjuring, to md, as he
surely will, that there is hardly trick of
modern performers which does not owe
either its existence, or present develop
ment, to Robert Houdin, 1t was only a
few years ago, that a writer in one of our
leading monthly magazines, himself a
conjurer of some local repute, stated that

and this apocryphal Hebrew was made to
affirm that he had dreamed i'd" much as
Mr.. Stevenson tells us he dreams his mar
vellous romances. The fact Is, that Hou-
din was undoubtedly the father of this
clever deception, which, for nearly half
century has never failed to amuse and be.
wilder audiences all over the world. 1t
was on February IL. 1916, that the follow
ing announcement appeared in his pro-
gramme for the first time.
I'm this performance, Mr.. Robert Hou-
dn's son. who is gifted with marvellous
second-sght, after his eyes have been Gov
cred by Il thick bandage, will designate
every object presented him by the audi
ence."
Houdin was first led to the invention of
this trick by observing his children at play
one day. The younger had bandaged his
elder brothers eyes aud made him guess
the objects he touched, and when the lat
ter happened to guess Alright they chang
ed places. The quck-witted Frenchman
ever on the look out for novelties to be
added to his entertainment, saw here the
germ OF great discovery and after apply
ing himself diligently to working out the
problem, succeeded in laying the fouuda-
ton on which Heller aud others subse-
quently erected more elaborate structures.
Inc method of performing the second
sight entertainment is simple enough.
The Subject" whether boy as in Hou-
din's, or girl as in Heller's case, is blind
folded secuiely. The performer then Dor.
rows article after article of the most dl.
verse nature from people in the audience
and these are correctly and infinitely de
scribed by the subject"
In order to perform the trick both sub
ltct and performer must train their memo
ries TO high degree of perfection, while
the latter must add to this the faculty of
quick and unerring sight as well as the
habit of carrying on at the same time u
double train of thought The first step is
to learn to associate instantly each letter
