Tricks of Indian JugSlers.

Some Of the tricks are performed by
every iuggler you meet; others again are
of such an astonishing nature, and Dor
Ger so nearly on the miraculous as TO be
beyond the capacity of an ordinary per-
former. OF this character are the orange
Tree trick and the burial trick. Il, after
having witnessed these feats performed
in broad daylight, one is Of the opinion
that it was an optical delusion produced
by the mesmeric power of the operator,
/ can only say that the ability to obtain
an absolute mastery over every faculty
of the observer is no less astonishing
than would be the actual performance of
qn apparently impossible feat.
The most noticeable feature in the per-
Torrance Of the Indian juggler is the
entire absence Of any kind of apparatus.
His scanty clothing affords no oppor-
tlnity for concealment, and every feat
is performed simply by manual dexterity
or is q delusion effected by mesmeric in
fuences The famous wizards of Europe
and America were nothing without ap-
paratns, and a great deal Of the effect Of
their performances was due to their mag
nilicent and costly parapheTnalia. In
genious mechanisms and expert assist
ants were absolutely essential to the
success of their decisions. As an illustra-
ton Of this / may mention that Anderson
who, by the way, was the poorest
wizard / ever saw, considering his repu-
tation-nade cath some thirty years ago
in an English bankruptcy court that his
apparatus, destroyed by the burning of
Covent Garden theatre, London, was
worth over $4,000, and that the effort

it to be an order, shot Attacks dead Five

others slightly hurt. Crispus Attucks, Sam

Boston was soon quieted down, but the

discomfort with British rule.
1t is in celebration of this event, and par

the monument recently unveiled in Boston
and here figured has been erected.
The monument was designed by Robert
Kraus, of Boston. 1t is of Concord granite,

which is inscribed the names of the five vic

Skillful Hocus POcus I'm japan.

At a recent japanese dinner a foreign
guest determined to have no optical delu
sions about what the juggler did He never
let his glances be distracted, and was not
once off his guard Noticing this, the old
juggler played to him entirely. An immense
porcelain vase was brought in and set in the
middle of the room, and the juggler, crawl
ing up, let himself down into it slowly. The
skeptic then sat for half hour without
taking his eyes from the vase that he had
first been convinced was sound and firm

and had failed. Embellishments.

YnteInperance Rarely Hereditary

II is to be remarked in the matter of intern

need a scientific investigation to be proved
fallacious. Perhaps the one most frequently
held, and most injurious in its effect is that

TIE BOSTON MASSACRE.
Boston Has just Been Celebrating It
By dwelling a Monument.

One hundred and eighteen years ago on the
5th Of March next was shed the first blood III
the conflict of the colonies of America with the
mother country. Five colonists were at that
time killed in an encounter with British
troops. More than a century after the work
these rebels began was finished the people of
Boston have united in erecting a monument
TO their memory, and in commemoration OF
the beginning of struggle which ended with
the independence of the colonies.
Two British regiments had in 1!69 been
quartered on the people of Boston. The colo
nists were already much excited over the I'M
popular stamp act and were in no mood 10
tolerate the presence of soldiers.
The beginning Of the affair was unim-
portant. A soldier was strolling by a rope
walk, and unIuckily got into row with the
workmen employed there. The soldier got
licked" He went to the barracks, brought
some other ''redcoatS," and together they
