THE GLASS-EATiNG FEAT.

I How tho Performance OF tho Trick De-
| ceives Credulous Public.
Several gentlemen were discussing
the other evening ut an uptown cafe
the peculiar appetites that museum
freaks have lately displayed for glass
They were wondering if the sharp par
ticles were digested. and one of tho
party said the whole thing was O
flake"
Why" said the knowing one. 1.-THE
trick is ancient. Two seen it done
hundreds of times. and can do it my
self You don't believe it. ell? Well.
to satisfy those who doubt my veracity,
I'll do the trick"
A very thin glass. Of the kind in
which seltzer is generally served. was
brought. and the amateur freak called
for a glass filled with water While
the audience. which had increased in
size. was wondering what was to
como next. the gentleman coolly
picked up the thin glass and deliber-
ately bit off piece. which he chewed
with the utmost cOmplacency. When
it was reduced TO the proper fineness
the performer picked up the glass Of
water and. to all appearances. washed
down the rather unpleasant dish with
apparently as much satisfaction rs if
the particles OF glass were delicate
bis of turkey and the clear beverage
champagne. 1t was noticed. however.
shat he did not drain the glass.
Every body looked ut him in perfect
astonishment and some of his friends.
thinking it was an act of bravado
which might prove fatal wanted to
send for a physician.
Never mind calling a DOCTOR" said
the trickster. laughing heartily as the
mystifed expressions on their faces
changed to looks Of abject terror;
I'm all right now. and now I'll ex-
pose the trick. Of course none of you
believe / swallowed the glass, but the
question il what became 0. L."
He then took mp tbs glass from
which he drank, and pastizg hand
kweesst c~se axotAer tNnbler. poured
its contents into the eapty receptr Gle.
When the straining was dnishcd. the
handkerchief held hundreds of fine
particles of glass.
'.Now. you fellows want to know
how the small pieces Of glass got into
the tumblcr. don't you?
In the first place there is little dam
ger in chewing the glass ifone is care
full. but it requires good deal of prac-
tice to eject it without being detected.
If you watched me closely you saw
that when / put the water to my lips
my upper lip was laid over the rim.
and before Idrank drop all the pieces
which were under that upper lip were
almost at the bottom of the water. To
be sure one must be careful not to swal-
low any of the pieces with the water:
but that can be done by closing the
teeth. The finer the glass used the
less fear there is Of its being detected
In the bottom of the tmnbler."
Several of the audience tried to do
the trick. but gave up in despair when
their tongues and gums were cut BY
the particles of glass 1t is. however.

young men to bite pieces out OF their
glasses. and the time may come when
. piecs of glass for chewing purposes
may be included in the bill for refresh.

Selected Storm.
Capri.

oft to this isle when earth was young
Were men beguiled,
For here the Sirens harped and sung,
Or Gree smiled.
And seamen from their wandering decks
Through golden air
Saw waving arms and bending necks
And hower-crowned hair;
And vainy, strenuous to be wise,
There urged the oar,
Turned to the shining main their eyes
And stunned the shore.
And now, though those who charmed are fed,
The charm endures;
The eternal temptress is not dead,
Still ulls and lures.
Yes, Nature here draws close to man
With lenient eyes,
Dissolves with tender touch the ban
OF griefs and sighs
Bids him forget what things have been,
LIES toll and strain,
Her phantom flash of days serene,
Her births of pain;
Bids him forget what yet must be,
what Fate delays
The tempest's blaze.
And some will listen to her lure,
Some turn aside,
Wrapped in the robe austere and pure
OF Stole pride.
But we, whom gracious Chance has brought
To this soft shore,
Do well to slack the chain of thought,
Nor look before.
For care creeps on with treacherous feet,
And Time is strong,
Nor ever dream on earth was sweet
Which lived too long.
This have learned, this you shall learn
When these bright days
Look pale as sinking stars which burn
Through twilight haze.
- WiHidm Wordsworth,

Boston, Mass, writes, that, suffering
for years from Indigestion, he was at
last induced to try Ayers Sarsaparilla
and, by its use, was entirely cured.
Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street,

from Dyspepsia, so that she could not

and was unable to care for her family.

Agricultural Display.

The agricultural display beneath the
grand stand, of which H. H. Ellis was
yesterday appointed superintendent, is of
a decidedly interesting character to those
who take an interest in this feature of the
territory's wealth. w. Sommers is an
enthusiastic ranchman who lives about
three miles below Wendoyer. He has
brought with him a display of which he is
justly proud, and which is attracting a
great deal of attention. Everything he
shows was raised without irri.
CATION and the result is certainly
in every way remarkable. The list in
cludes big pumkins, squashes which
weigh as much as 100 pounds apiece,
melons, potatoes, sugar beet, turnip beet,
corn and mangels.
Private Rudlatf was in charge of the
Fort Russell exhibit and a mighty attrac-
tive exhibit it is. 1t includes c~aulifower,
cabbage, celery. red cabbage, blood beet,
Egyptian turnips, Egyptian beet, carrots,
onions, t%urnips, early cabbage, and
two varieties of squash. The
crop was not irrigated after
the first of August, owing
to some trouble with the water supply
but the crops thrived just the same.
