The mystery of the so-cailed japan
magical mirrors, SO far As the cause OF
their rejecting objects that are on the
back side of the mirror is concerned,
appears to have yielded to little pains
taking investigation. They are thin
metal hand mirrors, with raised figures
on the back of them, and are cast Of an
alloy Of about eight parts copper and
twenty of tin, making a very hard yet
elastic metal. In grinding the mirrors
they are presumably laid on flat plate,
and the grinding pressure and the thick
parts, opposite the raised figures are
ground more rapidly; the pressure re-
moved, the plate springs back, and the
mirror is concave on the face where the
figures are. The light reflected from
this mirror will show the figures which
are on the back, not from any magical
power, but because of the concave sur
face produced over the figures-the re-
suit of accident rather than design.

patented for use in bottles containing

light, and containing bell which rat
ties when the bottle is moved, thus
drawing attention to the character Of

Il LETTER OF ACCOMPLISHMENT.

II " Il III,
eff you do not want my literary work, /"
writes young man who lives in Indi-
annapolis, will you please direct me to
some one who does want it. I know
that editors are making great deal OF
sport of literary aspirants, but this does
not deter me from attempting to exer-
else my God-given faculty. know that
[ am fitted to perform literary work.
Ny aim is high. No low round on the
ladder shall content me. I have read
several of Macaulay's essays, and ]
fiatter myself that have caught the ex.
quisite flavor of his style. This, I think
ought to go far toward the achievement
of success, for Macaulay, understand,
stood high. have also read Milton,
and have caught his style. I think it is
good idea to have several styles; for,
becoming tired of one, we can turn to the
other. expect to devote myself largely
to polemic writing, but poetry shall also
claim much of my time Poetry, ]
think, is great vehicle for the express
sion of our finer thoughts. The poem
which enclose is worth $1.OO.
This price, am persuaded, is not exor-
bitant. In fact, believe it is some.
what under the market price. Please
answer this letter. 1t might be good
idea to print it. Who knows but that
it might lend encouragement to some
struggling and aspiring human being"
We take pleasurein printing the letter.
That it may encourage some aspiring
human being" is not improbable 1t is
much easier to encourage an aspiring
human being than it is to initiate an ami
NAL with hope. ENCOURAGING articles
are generally written for human beings.
There is not, at present, very vieor.
GUS demand for experimental literary
work. The market is quiet. Prime,
good ordinary and fair to middling are
selling slowly, with no likelihood of a
corner"
It is well that you have caught Mac
aulay's style. If taken care of and oiled
occasionally it may be of great advan-
tage to you. You have also done we'll
in paying to Milton similar connpli-
ment. Two styles are of great advan-
tage. Writers who have one style only
are often placed at a serious disadvan-
tage Nothing is more refreshing than
to trip from one style to another

u,p,rs M THE HLacKss4KE.

Blacksnakes always feed OF live prey
and possess power over their prey that
is truly wonderful, and I think that
birds, old and young, are their main
dcnandance for food-old birds are cap
tured by them with ease. I captured
snake nearly five feet long that had a
full-hedged song sparrow in its body
about six inches from its head. They
feed on any kind of live prey within
their capacity, and have been caught
with young rabbit in their body. They
also are successful hunters of birds
nests for the young, and will climb trees
in their search. was once near an Or
chard when I heard robbins making q
great cutlery, evidently disturbed by
something. went to see the cause and
discovered large blacksnake at their
nest in an apple tree about fifteen feet
from the ground. The tree was about
one foot in diameter and seven or eight
feet up to the branches. The branch
on which the nest was, stood off at an
angle of about fortyfive degrees. When
the snake saw me he glided down on
the topside to the branch, and when he
reached the trunk he slid off and
dropped to the ground. In his mouth
was young bird partly swallowed,
which proved such clog to him that
he could not run rapidly in the grass
and captured him.
Many stories are told of their chasing
people. have seen persons who claim
to have been chased by them, and some
times it was by racer, black snake
with white ring around its neck. I
never saw snake of that description,
and know Of no authority claiming the
existence of such snake. A black
snake five or six feet long can outrun a
man. Their speed I have repeatedly
witnessed, when they have escaped
from me. Now if they chase people,
why do they not catch them? and il
they should catch a person, what could
they do with them? Certainly they
could not use them as food. It is sing.
ular that so many persons have been
chased by them and yet no instance has
been reported where they have been
caught.
The racer, described as black snake
with white ring around its neck, ex.
lists only in the Imagination of frightened
people. 1t has no place in natural his
tory, and yet have known several per.
sons who claim to have been chased by
them, and We're just as sure of the white
ring as they were of being chased

ONE SWALLOW DOES NOT MAKE A
SUMMER.

By T. HERBERT PHILLIPS
Did she give tender glance
When thy tongue refused to speak3
Lot it not thy bliss enhance,
Nor Toy further glences seek;
Ono such look from maiden's eye
Is no pledge of constancy
Did she call you fond or DEAR
Sitting dreanily alone?
Drive the echo from thy ear,
30 not tricked by one sweet tone;
One such whisper does not prove
That she yields thee all her love.
Did she heave deep-draw sigh
When thou bad'st sad farewell?
Did tear-drop dim her eye?
Yiold not to the potent spell;
One such tear or lingering sigh
Proves not that she will love for aye.

A TOAD IS 4 WEATHER PROPHET

TOAD rs A WEATHER PROPHET,
A curious weather prophet is being
shown in Broadway store window. It
is tree toad confined in glass tube.
There is little ladder for it to climb
up and down on, and so susceptible is
the little prisoner to the changes that it
ascends to the top of the tube when the
air grows moist in advance of rain and
descends when clear weather is near at
had. 1t also becomes noisy before a
storm. To those who have never seen
q tree toad it may be interesting to
know that it resembles the ordinary
garden toad in form, but is more flat
tened. The color varies from pale ash
to dark brown, with blotches of green
ish brown, and the stomach yellow.
The eyes are large and brilliant. It
abounds about old trees, old fences,
and old stone walls.-St. Louis Globe
