The Partridges Like Him.

E. W. Tourttellott, of Webster, Mass, Is strangely beset with partridges, which either have . spite against him or are s0 fond of him they hunt him up to go slam-bang into his face. Three times last fall partridges loaded with big volt pressure have gone humming through windows with great chatter of gla.e and dropped at his feet In two of tho instances the wild intruders plunged on him through a window in his house on School street One of the birds in con- ing in to him not only smashed and took along the entire upper sash of the window, but broke the curtain fixture and tore it from it's roll, and then Mir, Tourttellott, after his heart had stopped humping, unrolled the curtain, which was in lump in the middle of the room, and took out ane cock partridge that weighed a pound, acsdt CAigsgo Her sla.

The Mos, powerfu, I,xbt-Houss.

The new lighthouse at Houstholm is the most powerful in the world. The beam is of 2.000, 900 candle power and shows clearly at Blokhus, distance of thirty-fve miles. 1t is produced by arc lamps fed by De Meriten's dynamos, driven by s.eam engines. To prevent the extinction of the light through an accident to the machinery the latter is duplicated, one set coming into play slAuld the other fail. The light is further supplemented in thick weather by two powerful sirens. or fog trnmpets, working with compressed air. The fascination which powerful light ex- ercises on wild birds is curiously illus- trated by this lighthouse. It is said that basketfuls of dead snipes, larks, starlings, and so forth, are picked up in the mornings outside the tower. They kill themselves in dashing against tho windows of the lantern. IN. Y.

LEoERDEMAlN EXPOSED.
Facts That Seem Improbable, But Cal
 Easily Be Accomplished.

Facts That Seem Improbable, But Can
 Easily Be Accomplished.
 It has always been a wonder to the uninitiated how the many sleight-of- hand tricks which are performed night ly by the different magicians in this town are accomplished. To the inex- perienced the tricks seem hard, but any body can do many of them provided they have the necessary paraphernalia. For instance the trick of moving a red handkerchief from one bottle to another, a neat and ingenious illusion, can be accomplished by the aid of threads and holes in the bottles, one being pulled out as the other is pulled in.
 The trick of changing water in bot tie to ink and the ink to water can be done by a twelve-year-old boy.
 This is how it is done: The globe, which appears to be full of ink, is in reality full of water, but it is double. The outer globe is part of the stand, which is hollow, while the inner globe IS fitted with cap of black silk ready to be pulled down through the hollow center of the table at given signal, ex- posing what is apparently only large HA"on bipbS VI HAbtTs Uub NHttu IS III reality two. The change from water to ink is effected by picking up between the fingers little diamond (drab) wrapped up in paper which is punctured with holes, and quietly droppisg it in the globe while throwing the handkerchief over it. Those who do not understand tricks would not appreciate the inn portance of a little thing you can do when down among the audience. In wrapping up the bottle with the hand kerchief you can give it shake. The shake is the explanation of the trick 1t scatters the dye in the water and makes it appear as ink.
 It has always been mystery. even to those who understand how the mirror tricks are accomplished, as to how ma gicians could tell persons in the audi ence on what day of the week they were born. Before telling this they always ask their questioners to write down the year of their birth, with the day of the month. In each case he can always give the correct days. This can be accomplished as easy as falling of a log, and this is just exactly how 1t is done. Without going into elaborate ex- plantations, here is table

The Voyage Q of Life.

Life is beset by evils and changes on every side From birth to manhood and from manhood until old age eternal vigilance is the price of health. There is one remedy that has saved many rickety, headaching, blood poisoned, dyspeptic mortal to a life of usefulness and robust health. It is known as Dr. Bulls Sarsaparilla, and it is a Sarsa- parilla that is a Sarsaparilla. Not thousand doses of molasses and water for dollar, but Q conceptrated essence of the best virtues of sarsaparilla and other alternative herbs. It heals, it cures where other sarsa- parilla and blood remedies have no more eff feet than so much stagnant water. If your system craves an alterative, if you value life, you do yourself great injustice If you fail to try this excellent remedy. Demand it of your druggist and take no other.- Sidney Times.
