take her to Victoria, he found the
mate trying to do the same with the
vessel that Rainey had tried to do
with the fremen's tournament. Doig
gave an order and the mate ordered
the men not to mind him. The men
(who had been hired here by the cap

he offered them three times the agreed
wages, they demanded to be set

PUMPING protect these, by pat
emit or otherwise, from infringement by
brother professionals; and, indeed, any
shrewd observer with good opera glass
can detect the modus operandi of the tricks
involving extensive machinery. But this
is apart from the public demonstration of
the methods that seem to have been
adopted as policy for this season by Kellar
and Hermann. Between the two there is
precious little left for the imagination or de-
tective ability of the audience to work on.
The performance at the Columbia lacked
the comedy character infused into the
"business" by Kellar's great competitor,
Hermann. If shorn of its extraneous aid
from the musical and second-sight members
of the company, it would probably fall fat
Kellar starts in with the tricks which made
our great-grandfathers open their eyes in
wonder, consisting in the Juggling of empty
cups with false tops, which are made to
represent the surface of coffee and milk
and filled ones hidden away in box of
shavings. His next is the equally time
worn trick OF the rings, pistol and many
boxes. This, as every schoolboy knows, is
done by substituting for the rings bor-
rowed from the audience an equal number
of brass circlets held on the same wand as

is said to be the time for planting
nearly all kinds of vegetables. The
only obstacle is the probability o! a
late frost.
The potato beetle will attack the
eggplant in pr eference to any thing
else, and unless such plants are care
fully watched and the beetles picked
off they will destroy the plants in less
than day. To save the plants they
should be examined two or three times
day.
Corn may be planted in April. and
with little protection during cold
nights it may be advanced so as to get
large enough to boil two or three
weeks earlier than if planted at the
usual time; but the earliness in corn
is always at the expense OF size, and
sometimes of sweetness
EARLY cabbages should have a
place in the early garden; the plants
can usually be bought cheaper than
they can be grown. For this crop the
land should be we'll pulverized and
dressed with a liberal supply OF
manure. and if wood ashes be mixed
with the manure it will be an improve
ment The early cabbage needs to be
urged along as fast as possible or it
will become a late one
Calves should have plenty OF milk,
but it is not necessary, after the first
two weeks, hat it should be unskimmed.
If linseed is boiled to jelly and
added to skim milk, and the whole fed
warm, the calves grow as well as on
new milk Solid food of any kind
should not be given until the calf is
three months old. Calves should be
watered regularly. They often suffer
greatly from thirst, the milk not being
all the drink they need.-American

Here is good recipe for washing
soap. The ingredients cost one dollar.
Ten pounds Of hard soap cut in small
pieces, four ounces borax, three ounces
sulphate of soda; dissolve in five gal
Ions of soft water When dissolved,
let it cool, then put it into a wooden
firkin or tub. This will make fifty
pounds of thick soap. One pound will
do large washing. 1t is best to soak
the white clothes over night. The
soap must be dissolved in hot water
before using.

the loaned ]ewelry is placed, but concealed
by the left hand until an opportunity occurs
for an exchange, the brass rings being
loaded in the pistol, or more likely slipped
into the coat sleeve pocket The gold rings
are dropped on table in the "hies," where
the assistant can get and inclose them in q
box which is hidden IN a recessed space in
the table which is brought in to place the
outer boxes on. These boxes are "nested,"
but have all false bottoms, through which
the ring-containing casket is pressed from
It's hiding place in the table top. The pistol
is duly fired and then the boxes are opened
with a great show of freedom from unneces-
sary contact with the performers person.
The last one has the rings inside, each neat
ly attached to a bouquet.
The trick of the bottle with its many liQ-
uors on tap is explained IN every book on
parlor magic extant. 1t is done with finely
powdered coloring matter, and the requisite
essences for flavor concealed in the bottom
OF the glass, the fluid being contained in a
funnel inserted in the lower portion of the
bottle, from which the bottom has been re-
moved. Between the false bottom and the
VIDE end OF the funnel is the space for the
guinea pig.
Next comes the flower trick. This is al.
most as ancient as the others. The "busi-
ness" cor sists in causing two empty cones
placed on tables to be filed with pots full of
flowers. The tables have plush curtains
over their legs for about half yard down,
and the only skill required is to touch the
button that releases the spring which sends
the plants up into the cones from the shelves
upon which they have been resting inside
the curtain.

50 common an achievement now as to be
ased BY street corner fakirs, is one of Kel-

This is pure deception of the eyes by util-
izing the optical laws. A ''box set' or lin.

This is lined with black material which alb
serbs nearly every ray of light which falls

fitted into slots in rings on the operators

done by means of loose stratum of slate,

Bridges trick consisted in causing writing
to appear on the inner surface of slate to
which another slate had been sealed. This
was done by springing the states apart BY

other pencil fitted into an umbrella rib,
after which the original pencil, duly worn
at the end, would be replaced and the sep.

OEPEW'S HOME LIFE.
Something About the Family Affairs I

New York's Favorite Orator.
The home life OF Chauncey Depew's
family is one of the most ideal in New
York. They live in the large, hand
some house vacated by DR.. William A.
Hammond when the latter removed to
Washington. The house has been re-
decorated throughout since the De-
pew's acquisition Of 1t. Especially
characteristic Of Mr.. Depew's taste is
the dining-room. which has mingled in
its decorations appropriate Inscriptions
in French. German, English, Latin and
Greek. There is beautiful parlor,
whose ceiling is dOmed and which is
finished walls, hangings, furniture
all in white. In Mr.. Depew's study
the light from a stained window Sits
through Eastern palms and touches
gently an Egyptian mummy and falls
upon the head Of sphinx, a sort Of
furnishing which gives the place two
fold interest. The household arrange
ments are simple and without ostenta-
ton, though there are plenty OF SER
wants. Two buffers wait at table, and
Mrs Depew has French maid. The
stable contains three horses, a coupe
and an open carriage
The family includes besides Mr.. and
Mrs. Depew and young Chauucey. aged
ten, Mrs. Depew's mother, Mrs. Hege-
man, and the two little daughters of a
brother who died at her house
a few weeks ago, and their
governess Mrs. Depew's father
was wholesale druggist on
Broadway, and accumulated large
fortune. He was an accomplished am
ateur artist, and Mrs. Hegeman was in
her day one of the finest amateur plan
lists in the city.
The top floor of the Depew home is
given up to the children. Here are the
nursery and the school room,
and here on rainy days they
accompany the governess on
imaginary trips through central
park, young Chauncey's lively fancy
plying as many questions about imag-
mary object as he is used to do about
real ones. The young heir has very
active mind, and has had to be kept
back in his studies. His mother has
been his only teacher. But the chill
dren's happiest time is in the late after

BUTTER FOR EXPORT.
How 10 Pack 1t for Transportation &
Foreign Markets.

How 10 Pack 1t for Transportation to
Foreign Markets.
/ noticed an article in a Canadian
paper stating that Canadian mer-
chant had shipped a consignment of
butter to China via the Canadian Pa
cific railroad. The article went on to
say that this was the first lot Of butter
that had been shipped to China, and
that the venture had proved a finan-
cial success. but that the mode or
manner of packing the butter was a
secret. Now, what is to hinder some
of our American butter dealers from
trying the same thingp There is a
market in that country apparent
ly that would take all our sur
plus butter. The United States sends
hundreds of thousands of hard
dollars yearly to China to pay
for the tea we buy from them. Why
not exchange butter for their tea? The
United States sends large quantities Of
butter to England, where we come in
direct competition with the older
countries of France. Belgium, Ger
many, Holland. Norway and Sweden,
and we generally come off second best
in that market. But IN China, once
get the market established and We
would have little competition. As to
the secret manner of packing the
butter to ship TO China or
any other foreign market, here
it is: Take new pork barrels,
fill them with clean water, let
them stand four or five days and
change the water once during the time.
This serves two purposes. The water
takes away the wood smell, also soaks
into the barrel and prevents the danger
ofthe brine soaking into the wood and
leaving some portion Of the butter
bare. which would cause it to become
strong and rancid. Make "a brine by
boiling that will float an egg; let it
stand to cool and settle before using.
Make the butter into rolls that will
fit into the barrel so as not to leave
too much vacant space Wrap the
rolls with cheese cloth to keep
them from massing together. Put
in a portion of the brine H..
fore commencing to pack into the ~. IVY
rel. Leave two inches OF space at 'e'
top of the barrel for brine. Be
the butter is kept covered all the
with the brine, for here is where Rx
secret lies, in not allowing the al wi,

packing. Butter requires to be sailed
in the usual way, one ounce to the
pound before packing, tor the reason
that brine will not penetrate butter
when pressed in solid mass. Batter
packed in this way will keep fresh and
sweet for months. Last season | put
down several barrels by this method.
The butter was in the brine from the
middle of June until December.

The Ounce OF Pre- tention.

Under the above heading the New York
World of Feb. 10th, contains an editorial,
Of which the following are few extracts:
physicians and unprofessional men OF
sense agree that il people would take little
of the pains to prevent disease that they do
to have it cured that the civilized world
would be much less like vast hospital than
lis now. ~ But the idea Of q regular
and stated physical examination, even of
persons who are apparently well, is an ex-
cellent one. The approaches Of pulmonary
complaints, kidney troubles, and many of
the other ills that flesh is heir to are so in
sidious as not to be apparent to their victim
y In nothing is it truer than in dis
ease that tan ounce Of prevention is worth
pound of cure."
There is a great deal of wisdom in what the
World remarks. Individuals, as a rule, do
not give their physical welfare attention,
and it is only when alarmed by the presence
of disease itself-the consciousness Of fail
ing strength-that attention is given to such
matters. ih Elfi't
Much has been said and written in recent
years concerning the extreme and often
times fatal danger which results from de-
lay in the treatment of kidney diseases.
Physicians admit that they can not control
advanced disease in those organs, and it is
doubtful whether they can control it in any
stage without the assistance of Warmers
Safe Cure, which is established as the only
known means which will reliably prevent
and cure this class of disease.
Besides, it has been definitely ascertained
that kidney disease is the real cause of i'll
health in most cases where consumption,
heart, brain or nervous disorders are sup
posed to exist, and in consequence of such
belief many fatal mistakes have been CON-
mitted by our best physicians in treating
such disorders, which are but the symp-
toms of the disease, whilst they have al
lowed the real disease disease Of the kid
| neys, to escape their notice until TOO late.
There is no safer or surer way by which
health can be preserved and disease averted
than the occasional use Of Warmers Safe
Cure, which will benefit the ''engines of
life,"-the kidneys, even If they are in a
normally healthy state; while the good that
will result in case disease is threatened, or
is already present, cannot be overestmated
| The most careful examination made by q
skillful physician sometimes is unreliable,
since this class of disease is extremely de.
ceptive, AND seldom openly manlfests itself
i until the unsuspecting sufferer Is beyond
assistance.
