saw some very clever sleight-of-hand tricks
at an entertainment the other evening. The
performer, who claims to be Russian, used
no apparatus, and was within three feet Of the
people before whom he was performing. He
would tear up a cigarette leaf roll It into
ball and then unroll 1t whole. He rolled It
again, passed 1t to spectator, who unrolled 1t
and 1t was in pieces. This Juggler caught the
pieces, rolled them and unrolled the ball a
whole leaf. And so on.

Twelve Pages, 8 to -
widows Bidding at Sales.

Without being personal. and without IN
tending to say anything amiss, We would re-
mark on the habit Of widows attending the
sales Of their homeSteadS.
There is tradition, that long ago there was
q kind OF chivalry or gallanty that prevented
outsiders from bidding against the widow at
estate sale, and because OF belief in such for
mer custom widows some times now appear
in their weeds ut the sales 10 buy their homes
at public outcry.
Our observation leads us to express the
opin ion that widows, expecting consider alton
because OF their circumstances, have actually
paid the highest prices for their lands. No
lands are sold higher than those bid off by
widows.
In several instances, we are quite sure that
their lands would have been sold for much
less figure If the widows had remained away,
and they had kept their intentions TO them
selves.
The presence Of q widow on the auctioneer's
block, and a prompt nod of the head is notice
that she has her heart bent on the purchase,
and it is safe to bid against her to figure far
In excess of the mark etable value, and these
widows in the excitement Of the moment are
led on, and frequently pay more than the
real worth Of the home place.
We would suggest:
1st. That widows stay away from the sales.
2nd. That they make up their minds to va
cate, rather than give price in excess Of the
marketable value.
3rd. That they authorize some one to bid
for the lands, and not TO exceed their limit.

Here's Solid Sense.

We desire to recommend the passage OF an
act Of the legislature providing that one-half
Of the amounts received by the county and
town Of Chester by way Of license from the
sale of liquor be turned over to the county
treasurer and that the funds thus derived be
disbursed by the county commissioners in
settlement of the expenses of the court of
General Sessions for Chester county.-EX-
Jury.
When our people and the grand juries
awake to the fact that the whiskey-licensing
towns are reaping great money advantage
at the expense OF the county in the sale oi
whiskey, remedy will likely be provided.
The grand Jury Of Chester erred only In the
amount that they recommended should be
paid into the county treasury. One-fourth
for the town granting the license would be
more than 1t should receive.

Gsnt recon s6nt yarjous plaques on the
Inhabitants or Egypt.
Latterly, it seems that the people of Abbe.
vile have been visited with Affections, as nu-
merous, If not as direful, as those which were
sent on the Egyptians.
or late almost daily the most hideously de-
formed people have been seen ON our streets,
and beggars of various kinds have pressed
their greasy petitions into our faces.
From this intolerable nuisance we think
the people deserve to be relieved.
Each community should tuke care of its
own poor, and even If the respective commu-
mites can not do SO, the law In its charity, has
provided poor house to which all such char
acters should be sent.
AS the streets are filled with beggars Of va
rIous sorts, 1t would seem that this is known
as a community Of gudgeons who readily
empty their pocket books at the approach Of
any sort Of beggar.
Under an idea that 1t is charity to give to
tramps or imposters, many kind heart
ed people have given of their own substance
to support beggars who are too lazy to work.
Christian people do great wrong in giving
to people who do not work, and they are not
called upon in reason. or justice TO them
selves or their families, to give money 10
tramps who make merchandise Of their af-
flictions.
The indiscriminate giving OF money TO ev-
cry applicant, encourages laziness, and gives
assurance to the idle that they will be fed and
clothed by decent people, regardless Of any eff
fort on their own part.
1t is dlsgraceful to beg, and the yard dog
should be set on nine-tenths of the strolling
tramps that beg at our doors.
At least every beggar should be arrested and
sent to the town guard house as vagrant,
without visible II cans Of support.
