The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1889-09-19

MAGICIAN HERMANN has been making a
careful study Of the performances of the famous
Hindu jugglers, Of whom so much has been
written, and finds that all their tricks are quite
commonplace and clumsy compared with those
Of European slight-of-h hand artists. He had no
difficulty whatever in seeing through the cele-
brated tricks Of making a mango tree grow
from a tree in an earthen pot. by utteriug
few words Of incarnation, and the boy in the
basket, who is killed by the magician passing
his sword repeatedly through the wicker-work.
These were mere tricks Of substitution, done
with the aid of the flowing garments Of the
women helpers. Only one trick really puzzled
him for a time. A stalwart native wrapped in
shawl called at his rooms and offered to give
him an exhibition of his skill. The juggler
took his shawl from his shoulders, waved it
around in the air to show that it contained
nothing and then spread it out on the bare
floor. The iuggler had Hothing on him then
but n narrow cloth around his loins. Presently
the shawl began to move in the center, and
upon lifting il mp a large cobra was found I'M
derneath. which appeared quite tame. Herr
mann was completely stumped, and came down,
trying TO bride the juggler to reveal the trick.
The fellow proved obdurate for awhile, but
finally agreed to tell on consideration of Herr
mann teaching him some palming tricks. The
explanation was that the snake. which was
tame and fangless was skillfully concealed in
the Ioin. cloth and as skillFulIy "paImed " from
thence. Hermann found the Hindus Hnusu-
ally skillful in training snakes and animals, and
was astonished at the readiness with which
wild cobras came from all manner of unsupported
lurking places, in response to the sound Of the
Hindu pipe.

How many people know that Winter was
shortened and Summer heightened TO crafty
the vanity of an old Roman Emperor, who has
been clay for 1876 years2 Such is the fact,
however. Caius Julius Cesar Octavianus, the
great-nephew and heir of Julius Cesar, who is
known in history as Augustus, wanted to be
honored by place in the calendar, as his
great-uncle was, who had the name of the fifth
month in the Roman calendar-Quintilis-
changed to his own, because he was born in
that month. August, the next month, being
the sixth, was called sextilis. At Augustus
request the name was changed to his own. 1t
had then only 80 days, and February %, with
30 in leap-years. The Emperor felt that it
would not do to have his month inferior to his
great-uncle's, so the Senate took one day off
February and gave it to August. do not i'm
agine, however, that my digging up this rem
nant of history will have any effect on the
climate. The day cribbed from February is
just as hot as the others in August, and the
blne-birds and violets do not come any sooner
because February is shorter.

THE business OUTLOOK.

We are promised an unusually brisk Fall
trade, and good times generally, as the sea
son starts in on its final quarter The reason
is simple. The rural classes who produce
the food for the world have been prosperous
in the gathering of great harvest This
means that they have the means 10 bny, and
thus TO take up what is usually styled the
surplus production of our factories.
The corn crop of the West and the cotton
crop of the South are larger than ever be-
FORE while the latest reports promise a yield
OF 500 600, 900 bushels of wheat, or 10000, 900
more than last year.
At the same time the London Miller re-
ports shortages abroad, rs follows: Russia,
10000, 600 bushels; Hungary. 36,00000o;
Roumania, 100000; India, 100000;
South America and Australasia, 2i,0O0000;
total, 166,000,000 England, France, Canada,
Italy, Spain, Belgium, Holland and Algeria
are reported TO have an increase amounting
in the aggregate. including the United
States, TO 154,0OO,00O. From this IL will
appear that there is net decrease in the
worlds wheat crop of 100000 bushels,
compared with last year
This condition of things il rendered sig
nifcaut by the fact that the reserves are
very low in the granaries abroad. All thi,
means better prices than for some time past
