ARABS WHO ARE WONDERS,
A Traveller Tells How q Young English.

A Traveller Tells How q Young English.
man Was Once "Taken Down."
1.-THE most expert swimmers 1 ever
saw in my life are the Arabians who
dwell on the s~eacoast," said a traveller
recently.
when there are ships lying at an
Choir # the coast the natives swim
alb out the ships for hours, with scarcely
a moments rest. They are as much at
home in h water as we are on the
land and they have the agility of a
fish. The passengers often amuse them
selves by throwing copper or silver
coins into the water for the swimmers
to dive after, and their skill in captur-
ing the money is simply marvellous.
You may hurl the coin with all your
strength as far from the ship as posi-
BILE but the Arab is after it like a flash.
Darling through the water like an ar
row, he has the money before it has
sunk many feet into the water. He in
variably gets the money, never missing
a single attempt.
"Often the swimmers Chamber on
board the boat and endeavor to turn
an honest penny by entertaining the
passengers in one way or another.
Some of them are prestidigitators of no
mean ability, and often their sleight-
of-hand performances are exceedingly
clever. | remember one instance in
particular, in which an Arabian ma
gician got the better of a young English
passenger. The Arab swan out to the
ship and came aboard. When he was
endeavoring to perform a few tricks
for those On deck the fresh young En-
glishman had made himself very often
sive by attempting to expose all the
illusions and explain them to the au-
dience. Finally the Arab asked for
some one to loan him an English
sovereign for a few moments. The ma.
tive of Great Britain stepped nimbly
forward and handed the magician the
required gold-piece. The Arab stretched
out his left hand and placed the coin
in the middle of his uptlrned palm in
plain view of the spectators. He slowly
closed his hand without moving its
position. In a second he opened it and
in place Of the sovereign was a penny.
The Englishman wanted to examine it.
The Arab tossed it to him. Whise the
young fellow was examing the penny,
the Arab made a dive for the side of the
ship, he was over it in a second, then a
splash in the sea and that was the last
the fresh Englishman ever saw of the
Arab or sovereign."-Chicago News.

Polishing Wood with Charcoal.

A beautiful process of polishing wood
with charcoal is having a run among
the furniture manufacturers of note in
Paris. Only carefully-selected woods
are employed of a close and compact
grain. and these are covered with a
coat of camphor dissolved in water. and
after ward with another composed
chiefly of sulphate of iron and n~utgall.
these two compositions, in blending.
penetrating the wood and giving it an
indelble tinge, while at the same time
they render it impervious to the attack
OF insects. When sufficiently dry the
surface OF the wood is rubbed at first
with a hard brush of couch grass. and
when with charcoal and substances as
light and pliable as possible. Anv
hard grains remaining in the charcoal
scratch the surface instead of render
ing it perfectly smooth. Alternately
with the charcoal, the operator rubs
the surface with flannel soaked in lin
seed oil and essence of turpentine, the
nat portions having just previously
been rubbed with natural stick char
coal, and indented parts and crevices
with charcoal powder. The result of
this treatment is a beautiful color and
a perfect polish.-St. Louis Globe-Dem.

A Clerk Who was Not a Student of Human

Nature.
She was a tall, lank woman with
the slender, graceful build of a lath,
and she was being fitted with a fur
trimmed cloak at a State street store.
She was wealthy; the clerk had settled
that in his mind by the size of her dia-
monds. But unfortunately he was not
aware that she was slightly deaf.
II think the other will suit you bet
ter" he murmured, as he critically sur
veyed the garment upon her: this fur
is very thin"

sharply, did you say thin?'

How dare you say such a thing to
me?' she screamed.

by this time, and the little cash-girls
crept behind the counter for safety.

man. growing red in the face. II should

Pickerel and Eel,

A canal in Pennsylvania needing
some repairs, the water was drawn off.
leaving, among other things. a pickerel
and an eel stranded in the low water.
The pickerel was fully fifteen inches
long. and the puddle of clear water in
which both the eel and the fish were
was not larger than small room. The
eel began the attack, and the pickerel
darted away. When near, the eel
would sink underneath and snap up
ward at the fish, which soon became
confused at the method of this attack.
At last the eel caught hold of the pick
erel's tail, and the pickerel began to
swim f%uriously around, dragging the
eel after it The eel could not be
shaken off. and would doubtless have
been victorious, but at this stage of the
combat some of the workmen began
throwing stones at the combatants and
killed both.-Golden DAYS.
