A Blue Law Sabbath,

81 was born In Massachusetts, said
he, "and reared in n strict Puritan fam.
lily. The Sabbath commenced on Satur.
day night, when we children were re.
quired to study the Scriptural lesson for
the next day. After an early breakfast
next morning We went at our lesson
again until church time. The morn.
ing service was from 10 to 12 o'clock,
composed chiefly of long winded SER
mon, during which we were required to
keep awake, pay strict attention and be-
have ourselves. This was followed by
Sunday school, where we recited our
lessons correctly or suffered severe con-
sequences.
"After cold lunch at home, for moth
ing was cooked on Sunday, we attended
church again from until p. m. The
interval between this time and z o'clock
prayer meeting was occupied with re-
igious reading or reflection, no frivolous
games or diversions being permitted on
this solemn day. As special dispense
ton we were given hot tea for supper.
Prayer meeting was out at 0 o'clock, and
from that hour until bed time we sat
quietly at home reading such thrilling
and interesting works, especially to chill

Fox's Book of Martyrs used to
sympathize with those martyrs, and
compare their miserable state with

The wonderful feats of East Indian
iugglers have formed the theme of many
o letter from travellers in the orient, but
none are more surprising than that for
which an old sea dog, now lying at the
water front, vouches. While he was an
officer on board the P. and o. steam
ships two natives came aboard at Mad
ras, he says. They were a juggler and
bis assistant. After they had performed
o number of minor feats and gathered
quite crowd around them they called
for sack and piece of sailcloth.
These having been provided the chief
juggler made small tentlike structure
with the canvas and some stools. He
then placed his assistant in the sack and
allowed a sailor to tie the knot which
bound him fast prisoner. This done,
the chief carried the sack into an open
space, warning the people to stand back
some distance, and then carried on an
animated conversation with his assist
ant, whose replies could be distinctly
heard coming from the sack. Suddenly
the chief rushed forward, picked up the
sack and dumped it overheard, where
to the horror Of the passengers and crew
it sank out of sight.
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man, under the full
belief that he had murdered his compan
ion, but the juggler only smiled, ant
pointing to the canvas, asked that it b.
raised. This was done, and the sup
posed drowned man was discovered
squatting on the deck. So realistic hat
been the throwing overheard, however
that it was some time before the sur
prised passengers could realize murde
had not been committed.-New Yorl
