How Met Russell seRe's Visitors.
By John Ernest Mccdnn IN Hdrpers Weekly.
Up to two years ago this month was
clerk in Mr.. Sage's office for ten years. In
that time many Harmless lunaticsn wrote
and came to see Mr.. Sage. AS my desk was
between Mr.. Sage's and the door, and as l
was the first to sec every letter that came to
the Office in all those years, it Is hardly nec-
essary to say that Mr.. Sage was saved con-
siderable annoyance. Once In a while /
would show him a letter from one OF these
cranks, just to cheer him up, and when he
was disposed to feel pessimistic. and 1t
always either made him laugh at its absurd
demands or smile In pity at the pathos of ID
all.
Once a letter came from Cape Town,
South Africa. which was the most extra
ordinary ever seen In that Office. The ems
velope was large, square, heavy, and of
hrst-olass material. The paper was Of the
best Irish linen, aud the handwriting was
copperplate. With all these signs Of sanity,
the request for 81. 900 from Mr.. Sage
was couched in the choicest phraseology.
The writer went on to say that he was the
second richest man at the cape, and he was
ambitious to be the richest IL Mr.. Sage
didn't want to send him the
money then, instructions were given

nobody could question the South Africans
right to the money. That made Mr. Sage
laugh 30 long and loudly that the birds over
in Trinity gathered on Alexander Hamll-
toms tomb in order to catch few notes of
the laughter. Of course no attention was
paid to 1t. Then a very severe epistle came
from the same man. That also went unno-
ticed. About four months after came an
other that was short, bitter, brutal and
murderous. l wonder IL that South Afri-

Dir. Sage sometimes answered letters
from really worthy strangers. His mail
averaged about ten crank letters day, aud
the cranks that put in an appearance aver

would wait for him In the hall, but his APP

play. She wanted money with which to
buy a new eye. Mr.. Sage said that it was
some grown crank back Of tho child, but
that il / could prove 60 the contrary he
would do something. So l wrote 10 the
child and told her what to do. When
showed Mr.. Sage the two tintypes OF the
tot, before and after she lost her eye, he
was convinced. and sent her the money, or
part of it. Everybody wanted to chip in
then, and tho little girl got her eye.
The stand-and-deliver crank was not the
only one that came to the old Office. The
inventor fiend and the crank with a scheme
for revolutionizing railroad traffic were
pretty numerous too When denied ad-
mittance, nothing seemed to soothe their
spirits and wounded honor until they were
gently led down stairs, and told how very
busy Mr.. Sage was all the time, and how
impossible it was for him TO give his atten-
ton TO anything not pertaining to his

downstairs together, and the price of a

II, when 1t has fully grown. there ie no
fruit on the tree, the juggler cover the plaut
once more with the cloth and after another
short interval removes 10. Two or three
mangoes are seen, which the juggler breaks
of and presents to the spectators.
The best performance Of 1t have ever
seen was In Madras, and learned from the
jugglers exactly how 1t was done.
When the juggler apparently places the
new mango nut In the earth he really places
an old split nut there, which he has held In
the palm Of his hand. The new nut he con-
ceals In the place previously occupied by
the old nut; In other words, he "palms" it.
After spreading the cloth he drops the
new nut from his palm into fold Of his
lcin cloth, whence he takes and "palms"
small plant two or three inches long-some-
times little twig OF mango-with the root
OF another plant fastened to the end OF IL.
This he does while the attention OF the
spectators is given 10 the waving OF bis
other hand In the air, or to his gestures up
ward for the help Of god.
He then removes the cloth for the first
time. No leaves appear. While replacing
the cloth he inserts the root end OF the twig
in the old nut, and arranges the soil 30 that
the top Of the stem and one or two small
leaves appear above the surface.
This done, and the cloth being fully
spread, he waves bis hands again IN the air,
and after q short time removes the cloth for
the second time, and reveals the plant In Its
first stage.
While with one hand showing the plant,
with Its roots, etc., to the spectators, he
takes with the other hand from his loin-
cloth piece Of branch cut an inch or more
In diameter, which is we'll provided with
twigs and leaves. All of these are pressed
close to the branch and the whole wrapped
around tightly with piece Of wet cloth. /
have seen this branch as much as O foot aud
a half long.
The juggler conceals this behind his bare
arm, and with swift motion slides it I'M
der the cloth while no Is apparently replac.
ing the small plant.
While spreading the cloth he unwraps the
branch. sticks IL into the soil, expands the
twigs and leaves, aud squeezes over them
the water from the wet cloth. Then, ''palm-

proceeds as before with his gesticulations,
removes the covering, and shows the

next stage, and twists the end OF each stalk
round one of the twigs. When he pulls the
fruit afterwnrd he takes care to break the
stalk close to the fruit.
The cleverness lies Ia the wonderful deg
terity which tine jnggler displays in max
ing his important movement without being
observed. a
Scarcely one of my readers. even with
this knowledge of the way in which the
trick is done, would actually see the juggler
make any one of the movements which he
desires to be concealed. 81

INDIAN JUGGLERS.
They Ara Very Clever and Graceful
With Their Tricks

With Their Tricks.
IRON Youths Companion.
Two of the tricks of the Indian jugglers
are especially famous-the "tree-growing
trick" and tho ''basket trick"
As commonly described In travellers tails,
the tree-growing trick might well seem inns
possible of explanation. But II the speota-
tor expects to see a seed planted in the
ground, the leaves starting up above the
soil, the growth increasing. the shrub
spreading and the fruit appearing and
ripening directly under his eyes, he will be
grievously disappointed.
The juggler makes heap of moist earth,
perhaps six or eight inches high, on the
stone step OF the hard carriage drive In
front Of the hotel where the Traveller is
staying. The juggler himself, dressed IN a
loin cloth only, squats on the ground behind
the heap, places it in a nut, usually that Of
the mango tree, and spreads q cloth over
the whole.
After short time, during which he waves
his hand In the air or assumes to call upon
pagan divinity to help him. he snatches
away the cloth. and two or three leaves are
seen appearing above the soil.
He spreads his cloth over 1t once more.
The plant appears to be growing rapidly
and pushing the cloth up. The juggler
again snatches the cloth away and large
and wide-spreading shrub is seen, its leaves
covered with dew.
Sometimes tripod frame Is used, over
which the cloth Is thrown, so that the plant
may ''grown freely beneath the small tent
thus formed.
When the leaves are just visible above the
ground the Juggler lifts the plant from the
earth and shows the spectators how the nut
has apparently swollen and terminated,
pointing out the rootlets that extend from
the nut through the moist earth.
