Tho nIndoo Magician.

Keller, the prestidigitateur, speaking
OF the famous Hindoo magicians to a re-
porter of The Buffalo Express, said: "a
trick which puzzled mo for a long time
was making a pineapple grow under a
handkerchief. The juggler lays u hand
kerchief flat on the ground, and then be-
gins to sing and beat on the tom-tom,
when in the center of the handkerchief
something begins to stir and rise in pyra-
midal form, dilating hntil just about the
size of a pineapple, when the coniurer
inserts his hand under tho handkerchief
and pulls u n ripe pineapple.
81 watched his trick several times be-
fore | could get n clew to it. The motion
of life puzzled me. But one day l took
a position ON the side-the conjurers sit
on one side of a circle, making the spec
tators form the rest of the circumfer-
ence-whcre l could see the iuggler's
motion clearly, andI noticed that
one of the confederates put n bag, like @
sailors bag, near the conjurer's hands.
He sat there tailor fashion, and us he
spread out his handkerchief on the
ground | saw his hand make a trip swift
as lightning to the bag and back under
the handkerchief, and l thought l saw
something like the tail of a snake ac-
company it: That gave me an idea, and
afterward, by pretending to understand
the trick, and by paying n of the Hin
docs four rupees, l got him to confess
how the trick was done.
THE onjurer does take a snake from
the bag placed conveniently at his elbow.
When the cobra is put under the hand
kerchief, he naturally coils himself up.
Then the conjurers begin their music
and the cobra raises his head, and this
gives the lifting motion to the handker-
chief. One of the FIRST things a cobra
docs when excited is to swell out his
neck and this makes the pyramidal
shape. When the juggler puts his hand
under the handkerchief he takes with it
a followed pineapple and removes the
cobra inside of it, concealed by his hand.
That is n of the ~cleverest tricks | saw
in India"

From 1774 to 1884 the territory now
known as Tennessee formed a part of
North Carolina, and in 1855 the Ten
n~esseans, becoming dissatisfied with their
government, organized Il state govern
ment under the name of Franklin
which was maintained for some years.
The state afterwards disbanded and ter
rltorial Tennessee was again annexed TO
North Carolina. The following are
among the laws passed by the legislature
of the state of Franklin. We copy it as
found In n speech by Daniel Webster on
the currency of 1888:
Be it enacted by the general assembly
of the state of Franklin, and it is hereby
enacted by the authority of the same,
that from the LIST day of January, 1889.
he salaries of the officers of the com
monwealth be as follows:
His ~excellency the governor, per an
mum, 1000 deer skins.
His honor, the chief Justice, per an
mum, 500 deer skins.
The secretary to his excellency, the
governor, per annum, 400 raccoon skins.
The treasurer to the state, $50 raccoon
skins.
Each county clerk, 800 beaver skins.
Clerk of house of commons, 200 rae
COO skins.
Members of the assembly, per diem,
three raccoon skins.
Justices fees for signing a warrant,
ono muskrat skin.
To the constable for serving a warrant,
one mink skin.
Enacted into the law the 18th day of
October, 1856, under the great seal of
the state. Buffalo News.

An uneomfert.ble sItu.lio..

Col. Ryan, the manager of Prescott
& NarnelHs museum In st. Louis, tells
the following narrow escape which
he had from being killed by the snakes
of his show: 1--WE had ninety-seven SER
penis on exhibition, and some were enor-
nous specimens eighteen TO twenty-five
feet long. These were confined in a
glass covered cage, the top Of which,
having been broken, was temporarily
held In place by a stick. Mai. VarneIl
and myself had sleeping apartments at
h e Of n stairway, directly above.
One night we returned and dropped
languidly into bed without lighting the
gas. After q little / felt something en-
numbering my lower limbs and heard q
harsh, grating sound all over the room.
Attempting to rise, / found TO my horror
that my feet were bound, and by a fash
of lightning that passed at that mo-
ment j saw an immense boa constructor
wrapped about them. Striking a match
/ woke Varnell and we found ourselves
shackled together by this serpents. One
huge anaconda was also coiled on the
Majors breast.
'To make matters worse, the flicker
ing matchlight in the gloom had at
tracted n host of reptiles, and ~anacondas,
rattlers, carriers, black snakes, vipers,
cobras and copperheads soon began to
Soh6itbiier HISS NcThpc tleu IASp IKE,
scaly bodies over our ears, crawl their
clammy selves over our faces and breathe
their breath upon our flesh. Great drops
of perspiration stood out on our faces as
we signaled each other to keep still and
silent. To speak would ave beer but to
transfer the attention of the reptiles to
ourselves. The snakes in a short time
began a fierce battle between themselves,
and the suspense grew awful, as help
less we lay, not daring to move if we
eould, and listened to the writhing,
struggling forms and fangs in the horrid
work of wasting their hateful venom
upon each other. But soon our jailers,
TO our delight, took n hand in the row,
and unwound their coils from our limbs.
Once free, 1t was but a few moments
work to light the gas, get brooms and by
thea arts known to the profession, drive
them into n big box that was convenient.
We found that they had knocked the
stick down, escaped through the roof of
thog glass case and crawled up into our
room for warmth.-St. Louis Globe

Horace Nernet, tho artist, was going
from Versailles to Paris by railway. In
tho same compartment with him were
two ladies whom no had never seer be
fore, but who were evidently acquainted
with him. They examined him infinitely
and commented freely ON his martial
bearing, his hale old age, the style of his
dress, etc. They continued their annoy
anee until finally the painter determined
to put an n to tho persecution. As
the train passed through tho tunnel Of
St Cloud the three travellers were
wrapped in complete darkness. Vernet
raised the back of his hand and kissed it
twice violently. On emerging from the
o%bscurity he found that the ladies had
withdrawn their attention from him and
were accusing each other of having been
kissed by n man in the dark.
Presently they arrived at Paris, and
Nernct, on leaving them, said: Ladies',

Professor Lee, of Bowdoin college,
who accompanied tho Albatross expo
dition az Il naturalist, tells of u curious
experience in the South Pacific. Years
ago the Ecuador government planted
a convict colony on Charles Island,
one OF tho Galapagos group.
The convicts revolted, killed the
governor and escaped, leaving behind
pigs, cattle, donkeys and horses. Since
that time no one was thought TO live
there, and at Chatham Island, another
of the group, the Albatross party werc
told that Charles Island was entirely
deserted.
They were, therefore, rather sur
prised when they visited Charles Island
to como upon a nan nearly naked,
carrying n pig on his back. He was
quite as surprised as they, and was at
first in great fear; but finally they
got him to talk. His hair and beard
had grown very long, and he had lost
all notion of time.
He said that some years before he
had come to Charles Island with q
party in search of n certain valuable
moss; that he had deserted his com
panions, who had gone off without
him, and that since that time he had
been alone on the island.
He had lived on fruits and herbs
had captured wild cattle by setting
traps for them, killed them with a
spear made by tying his pocket knife
to n stick, and from their hides made
a hut. He was glad to sec men again,
and asked TO be taken back 10 Chatham
Island, which was granted, of course.

To bar the progress Of the mighty sea.

Tho GIorinod spins,er In Boston.


Tho Boston woman is nothing if not

properly at least tho equal of the mas
culine brute, who is taught by her to
know that he is not by any means the
Indispensable creature commonly sup
posed. The female of the human
species hercabout, outnumbering so
greatly rs she docs tho local male sup
ply, must needs learn TO take care of
herself. And so she does. 1t is thus
one finds thousands of unprotected
but self reliant maidens Of various
ages approaching matrimonial hope
lessness, pursuing n sort of bachelor
csque existence in the studio buildings,
with art or literature for an occupa-
ton. Some of them paint things
moro or less bad, which their kind
hearted friends make n habit of buy
ing. Others do hackwork for the
newspapers. AS n rule they are ladies
and have some little income of their
own which enables them to mako
both ends meet. Their manner of liv-
ing is simple and inexpensive. A
screen in one corner ~conceals q little
gas stove and some few dishes. In a
curtained alcove is a bed. Half q
dozen chairs, an easel or two and some
painting or writing materials complete
the equipment of the virginia. menage.

Ths Eyes

When the eyes ara treated fairly, they
are strengthened, not weakened, by
work, says an article in a London jour
nal Just as the arms of a blacksmith
grow the stronger for his trade, so the
eyes of watchmakers. who work under
healthy conditions, are found to i'm
prove. and not deteriorate, in vigor and
quickness. 1t is the abuse of the eyes,
not their use, which is to be avoided
II n man is aware either tina his eyes
need no artificial correction, or else have
received the proper adjustment, and If
his work, whether literary or mcchau
ical, is done in u light both steady and
sufficient, and with n duo regard as to
ordinary sanitary rules, he may feel sure
that he is strengthening his eyes. not
weakening them, by hard work. Men
Of intellectual pursuits sometimes are
afraid of losing their mental power in
old age, because they have drawn SO
much upon it when young. The reverse
Is nearer the truth, and if they have
not overtaxed their brains, the fear is
absolutely g~roundless. The man whose
intellect goes first in old age is generally
some farmer or laborer, who has never
strengthened and ~invigorated it by use
not the politician, the lawyer, or the man
OF letters. So with the eyes. Those who
have strengthened their eyes by using
them properly keep keen sight longer
than those who have never trained them.
In the case of the man who has neglected
to give his eyes their full development,
they will fail in power along with his
the bodily functions. When. how
ever, the man who, born with good eyes,
has kept them in constant marc work,
and yet never strained them, reaches old
ago, he may find them capable of per-
forming their functions better than any
other organ of his body. In short, II
people will only learn to use their ewes
wisely. there is no reason why mankind
should not increase rather than lose their
power of seeing. If, however, we are to
make this possible, we must lose no time

of Booths place and boarded a south
bound State street car. In his hand he
carried a quart can of oysters. He took

going around the loop. but as the ear
bowled along State street the coal caught
