In a Western court a witness had been
detailing with great minuteness certain
conversations which had occurred sew
eral years before. Again and again the
witness testified to name and dates and
precise words, and it became necessary
for his cross examiner to break him up.
This was done by a simple device.
While the witness was glibly rafting
off his testimony the cross-examiner
handed him a law book and said: "Read
aloud paragraph from that book. =
'What for?" inquired the witness. II
will tell you after you have read it, -
said the lawyer, and the witness ac-
cordingly read aloud a paragraph of
most uninteresting material about
lands, appurtenances and heredita-
ments. Then the lawyer went on and
asked him few more questions about
his memory, and the witness was posi-
tive that his memory was very good.
Suddenly the lawyer said: by the way,
will you please repeat that paragraph
you just read about lands, appurte-
nances and Entertainments. ?'' "Why,
of course could not do that replied
the witness. ''You must have a queer
memory" retorted the lawyer, ''since
you can repeat things that you say oc-
Cured years ago and can not repeat
what you read a moment ago." The
witness was nonplussed. - Chicago

A Corporation That Contemplates the Use

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. ia new irri-
cation and water power company has
been formed here for operating in all
parts of Kansas in constructing and
maintaining dams, raceways, aque-
ducts, canals, wells and such other
works and appliances as may be re-
quired for the collection, conveyance
and use of water for manufacturing,
water and water power, and for utiliz-
ing and supplying water for the pur
pose of irrigation. One of the principal
purposes of this company is to put in
operation system Of irrigation

farmers at small expense, and

Where streams can be utilized

believed that nearly every quarter sec
ton in the State can be successfully ir

lay of only few hundred dollars, and
this will increase the value of the land
from three to ten times its present val
ne. With proper irrigation, one-fourth
of farm will often produce more than
a whole quarter section in it's natural
condition, and a sure crop on part of
the farm is better than the uncertain
chances without irrigation. Wherever
it can be successfully done it is also
proposed to use the water for the pur-
poses of power. The company is organ

!utely impossible just now to take the time
to write such letter you request.
The prospects for silver legislation at this
session are not good. The republicans have
organ lied the house against silver. see TO
way of reaching that subject except by
breaking through this organization by some
parliamentary proceeding. 1t would re-
Quire an overruling of the speaker or chair

to reach consideration of any silver bill.
This republicans are not disposed to do and
have hence voted down efforts OF that kind
during this session.
Iregret that Mr.. Cleveland insists upon his
hostility to the free coinage of silver. Ihad
hoped by n careful consideration of the
question in all its bearings he would have
| greatly modified his views. but h recent
| letter to the Reform club of New York dissi-
pates all hope of that. 90 not see how the

HINDOO MAGIC.
Account of the Wonderful Feat Known a
he

Account of the Wonderful Feat Known as
the China Duck Trick.
"a few years ago I was stopping in
the city of Allahabad, near the center
of India, on the Indian Peninsula rail-
way, giving performances in the Rail-
way Theater," says a traveller. every
day party of native jugglers were in
the habit of visiting our hotel and ex-
hibiting their skill on the plaza in front
of the building.
''One day L was particularly attracted
by an old Hindoo, his son and daughter,
who squatted down on the ground and
waited for the crowd of sight-seers to
gather round. They did not have long
to wait When enough spectators had
come to make the performance profit
able the old fellow drew from the bag
that all Indian jugglers use to convey
their properties in a small earthen-
ware jar, filed with muddy water. He
first sprinkled a few drops of the water
on the ground and then placed the jar
upon three small stones, which he also
took from the bag.
''He then produced asman china duck
and gave it to me for inspection
found nothing noticeable about it He
asked me to put it in the water. I did
so and it Immediately sunk to the bot
tom. He next drew from the bag a
small tomtom, lit tie musical instru-
ment that emits drumming sound
when the handle is turned, and began
waving it around the jar.
Instantly the duck rose to the sur
face. He told me to touch it. / tried
to do SO, when the bird again disap-
peared, to reappear again and again at
the juggler's will. 1 must confess that
was mystifed. There was apparently
no cause for the strange actions of the
little bird. It was only after the third
or fourth visit of the conjuror that
discovered the secret of the trick.
ct was a particularly bright, sunny
day and had chosen a place among the
spectators slightly nearer than the 9th
ers were allowed. / was behind the
scenes as it were. While attentively
watching the trick 1 noticed in the sun
shine the sparkle of a long hair that ex-
tended from the tomtom to the bottom
of the jar.
1.-THE moment saw this OWNED the
juggler's secret, and 1 afterward found
that my theory was correct. The jar
already contained a china duck, pre-
cisely like the one 1 had examined, save
that it was buoyant. Attached to the
breast of this duck was the hair. This
hair came through tiny hole in the
bottom of the jar, The water was
sprinkled on the ground to conceal any
leakage. When the jar was placed
upon the ground the hair was fastened
so that the duck could not rise to the
surface.
Gas the juggler picked up his tomtom
it was an easy matter for him to fasten
the end of the hair to it by means of a
bit of wax. After this was arranged
you can see how easily he was able to
make this counterfeit duck bob up and
down at the word Of command. Chi
