A WOman's Memory.
TSan Francisco Chronicle


When you come to consider the keys to
a woman's memory, 1 think even the auto
matte arrangement must find it hard work
to decide. You never can tell what will
fix itself in q woman's memory, but most
of the time she remembers only what she
wears. A man, if he goes anywhere, re-
members the place he went to, woman
always remembers how she got there. She
starts from home and remembers what
street she took, what car, what stores she
passed, what she saw in the windows, what
special articles caught her eye and made
her wish she could buy them, until her
mental process takes her to the place she
wants to get at. 1 called at house the
other evening where several ladies hap
pened to be calling, too, and the converse
ton turned on opera Somebody said
something about Nine. Albani
Il am sorry" said one lady, Il did not
hear Albani sing"
"Yes, you did, said another.
mo, 1 couldn't 90, and 1 was quite
broken hearted"
Indeed you did hear her, because I was
there the same night, and l saw y lou sitting
in the dress circle. and you had on that
pretty little hat with the pink feather"
"Oh!-so did. 1 remember now. Ger
tainly, heard Albani."

Indian JugSIery.

1t requires no little stretch of credulity
to believe the wonderful stories of the do.
ings Of Eastern magiciaps even when they
come from the best of authorities. The
London Globe, in it's issue of September IA,
says: "The moderns are just beginning to
understand that India has always been in
the front rank in utilizing the occult pow
e1s in man to produce phenomena, which
the narrow scope of modern science as yet
fails to account for and therefore cGrelessly
and unscientifically attributes to trickery.
If the product of trickery, it must indeed
be trickery of superior order to make US
disbelieve our eyes," The Globe then pro-
ceeds to relate the following incident on
the authority of Siddeshur Mitter, an eye
witness, who relates his experience to the
Calcutta Statesman: -,---. .-.- - s-.s.- -.r,
There is wandering race in Bengal
called the Badays-Or gyps es-whO with
bag aud baggage travel from place to place
and perform their o-called jugglery before
admiring groups. Their origin is to me
unknown.
There is special kind of this jugglery
or sOrcery, called Bhanumatir Bali, and of
which the instance l will describe is an
example. A company of male and female
performers, with the various boxes, para
phernalia and musical instruments, assem-
bled one afternoon in village in the DIS
trict of HOOghly, where my father then
resided, TO give an exhibition of their pow
ers. While l was looking on IN broad day
light man was shut in box which was
carefully nailed and then bound round with
cords. The principal performer recited
oOr in a
to the box, opened it, and to our amaze
ment showed US that the man had dlsap-
peared He said that he had gone up to the
heavens Ito fight Indra." In a few moments
he expressed anxiety at the mans continued
absence in the aerial regions, and said that
he would 90 up and see what wa, The matter.
A boy was called who held upright long
bamboo up which the man climbed to the
top, whereupon we suddenly lost sight of
him, and the boy laid the bamboo on the
ground. There then fell on the ground be-
fore us the different members of the human
b dy, all bloody-fIst one hand, then
another, foot, and so On, until complete.
The boy then elevated the bamboo, and
the principal performer appearing on the
top as suddenly as he had disappeared,
came down, and seeming quite dIscOnsolate,
said that Indra had killed his friend before
he could get there to save him. He then
placed the mangled remains in the same
box, closed it, and tied it as before. Our
wonder and astonishment reached their
climax when, few minutes later, on the
box being again opened, the man jumped
out perfectly hearty and unhurt."
Ibn Batu.o, as quoted by Colonel Yule
in The Book of Sir Marco Polo" saw the
performance at the court of the viceroy of
Khansa, only IN that case "ball of tape"
was used instead of bambo pole. The
AEgIo Dutch traveller, Edward Motion,
in Batavia in 1870 saw the same
thing done by gang of copjurers.

DIR. CARL PETERS,
Reported MassacreG with His Whole
Caravan in Africa.

The report appears to be confirmed that
DR.. Peters, the German explorer, and his
party, with only one European excepted,
have been massacred. The latest known
in Zanzibar about DR.. Peters is that, hav
ing started inland from Vitu on July Goth,
he had reached Korkorro, long distance
up the Tana river. He was young man,
about thirty three years of age, native of
Neuhaus, on the Elbe, and was educated
at Ilfeld, and at Gottingen, Tubingen and
Berlin, studying law, history, geography,
and national economy. He was graduated
at the Berlin University. From 1881 to
1884 Dr. Peters resided in England. Hav-
ing returned home he obtained, with the
support of Prince Bismarck, an Imperial
Charter, under which he formed the Ger
man East African Company, of which he
was president. He dispatched expeditions
to East Africa, in order TO take possession
of the territory opposite Zanzibar. In Sep
tember, 1856, Dr. Peters convened at Berlin
the first German Colonial Congress. The
following spring ne went to Zanzibar with
his executive staff, and concluded a treaty
with the late Sultan, Said Burghash. After
his return to Europe DR. Peters initiated
in Germany the movement for q relief ex-
pedition to aid Emin Paeha The expedi-
tion, led by DR. Peters and organized osten-
sibly as an Emin Pasha relief expedition,
met with active English opposition from
the first, and has been studiously discoun-
tenanced by Prince Bismarck. 1t was
thought in England that in their recent
fever for African colonization the Germans
were intriguing to secure a share of the
trade apporticned to the British East Afri-
can Company, and DR.. Peters expedition
was meant to further this scheme. DiplO-
matte correspondence was exchanged be-
tween London and Berlin on the subject,
and on Prince Bismarck's resolve to with
hold government assistance from the expe-
dition it became purely private and mer
camille one.

Disappointment.
From Golden Daysl
1t has been said with considerable force
that the hardest task for the young is to
learn to say mo-" This does not apply to
cross or surly people, who delight in saying
mo" even where the proper answer should
be yes" Some people delight in being
rude, and seem to take pride in inficting
pain.
1t is not of these people want to speak,
but of the good hearted folk who find it
necessary to say mo-" and whom it pains
to give refusal. These people are prone
to make mistake.

Perhaps the merchant is mistaken; at
least think so.
A young lady had gone out walking, and
had forgotten her purse. Presently she
met little girl with basket on her arm,
containing variety of book marks, watch
cases and needle books.

Another somewhat similar case recall.

the applicants was bright young fellow,
with, however, a rather anxious face.

So they are. Then why not learn to
speak kindly and gently, especially to the
poor and suffering? To be sure, words
should never take the place of deeds, but it
is not always in our power to give sub
stantial help, and it is always possible to
give our sympathy.

He Was Hanged.

New York Star: James E. Morgan, sheriff
of Sherman county, South Dakota, is ma
tive of this city, but has been in the West
over thirty years. He is here on a visit to
his relatives on Staten Island, and he finds
New York has undergone mighty change
since he left, in 1861, to 90 to the front.
"I find," said the sheriff to me the other
night, "that the question whether man
should be hanged or executed electrically
has been settled. l am glad to find that
electricity has carried the day, for l assure
you that death by hanging is intensely
painful"
why, sheriff." 1 said, lis it possible that
you were hanged?"
Quite 80, and it was no joke. When
the war closed l went West to seek my
fortune, and had a pretty hard time be-
fore found anything even resembling it.
One hard winter two others and myself
went into Wyoming on prospecting expe-
dition, and had to maintain ourselves chiefly
by hunting. Antelope were very scarce
Just then, and we suffered con oDsiderably from
hunger One morning we separated, the
better to scour the country, agreeing to
meet on distant hill at noon. My
companions were hardly out of sight when
l shot a steer, and was in the act of cut
ting it up when three fierce looking
cowboys swOoped down upon me. l am,
as you see, rather swarthy, and naturally
they took me for a Mexican. As they
also were dirty looking l made the same
mistake, and saluted them in the little
Spanish l had picked up. 1t happened
that tall cotton tree was conveniently
close, and, without saving a word, one of
the men threw his lariat around my neck,
tossed the other end of the rope over a
stout limb; his two companions pulled
UPON it, and 1 was in the twiDkling of an
eve going through all the agonies of hang
ing. The pain was frightful. There was
a tremendous rushing through my ears, the
sky and everything else turned blood red,
pins and needles seemed to be sticking into
every part of my body, and at the same
time the back of my head felt as if it
were being sandbagged at the rate of
forty strokes second. How long it last
ed couldn't tell To me it seemed hours
When I regained consciousness one of
my friends was pouring whisky down my
throat and the other was rubbing my
chest with the same liquid. 1t appears
that my comrades had returned In time to
cut me down before life had fled, but just
then I wished they had let me be. The
process of resuscitation was, if possible,
still more agonizing than the hanging; but,
as the man condemned by law does not
suffer in that regard, there is no use in
dwelling upon it,"
Bot why did they hang you?"
"rhey were driving herd of cattle to
Idaho, and it was one of their steers that /
had shot. When my friends arrived and
explained, the COW boys cut me down, and
when 1 was ready to receive them they
were profuse in their apologies.
THAT is how l know that hanging is one
of the most cruel deaths to which you can
put man."

From q letter to the London Telegraph
Many were the thrilling episodes and ad.
ventures of the great war which fell in

joyed General Thomas" said he, Junior
to me in rank, but senior in service, was
stern disciplinarian. He had received
many complaints about the pilfering and
plundering committed by one of his brig
ades, and, being resolved to put
offense down, he issued some very
strict orders, menacing with death any
who should transgress. The brigade
in question wore for its badge an acorn, in
silver or gold, and the men wore inOrdin-
ately proud of this distinctive sign. Several
cases of disobedience had been reported to
the General, but the evidence was never
strong enough for decisive action, until one
day, riding with an orderly down by
lane outside the posts, Thomas came full
upon an Irishman who, having laid aside
his rifle, with which he had killed hog,

EVEN THIS SHALL PASS AWAY.

Once in Persia reigned king,
Who upon his signet ring
Graved maxim true and wise,
Which If held before the eyes,
Gave him counsel at a glance
Fit for every change and chance,
Solemn word, and these are they:
Even this shall pass away"
Trains of camels through the sand
Brought him gems from Samarcand;
Fleets of galleys through the seas
Brought him pearls to match with these.
But he counted not his gain
Treasures of the mine or main;
'W hat Is wealth." the king would say.
Even this shall pass away"
In the revels of his court
At the zenith Of the sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at hts jests,
He, amid his figs ana wine,
Cried: "Oh, loving friends of mine!
Pleasure comes, but not to stay;
Even this shall pass away"
Fighting on furious field.
Once a iavelin pierced his shield;
Soldiers with loud lament
Pore him bleeding to his tent;
Groaning from his tortured side,
'tPain is hard tO bear" he cried,
"But with patience day by day
Even this shall pass away"
Towering in the public square,
Twenty cubits In the air
Rose his statue carved in stone.
Then the king, disguised, unknown,
Stood before his sculptured name,
Musing merely: What is fame?
Fame ls but a slow decay
Even this shall pass away"
Struck with palsy, sere and old,
Waiting at the gates OF gold,
Said he, with his dying breath:
Life is done but what is breath?'
Then in answer to the king
Fell a sunbeam on his ring,
Showing by a heavenly ray
Even this shall pass away"
