and in ten minutes the one armed singer

and in ten minutes the one armed singer
was surrounded by about hundred men
and boys. He finished his song, and then he
took from one of his pockets a bundle
wrapped with brown paper and tied
strongly with stout cord
He held it up so that all might see, and
then said: Gentlemen, am here today
to show to you one of the greatest feats of
legerdemain ever performed by anybody,
not excepting the princes of the black art
Of the olden days. This feat, gentlemen, is
done for two reasons--for your entertain
ment and my financial benefit. / would
dearly like to show you the trick for moth
ing, and it is trick such as none of you
ever saw before or ever will again, but
when my heart prompts me to do this my
stomach says me nay.
Although am a cOnjurer | must needs
eat, just like mortals of ordinary build. If
you will pardon me, therefore, | will ask
you to pass up whatever offerings you
would like to make, andif l receive enough
to purchase a square meal | will show you
this marvellous triumph of the mind over
the limitations Of matter"
The crowd by this time was thoroughly
interested, and nickels and dimes were
dropped into the young mans hand until
he had accumulated at least couple Of
dollars. When the money ceased coming
in he carefully slowed it away in his pocket,
and then said, ''If you are sure, gentlemen,
that there is nobody else who wishes to
contribute to this fund l will proceed" 1"
He held the package up again and con
tinued:
"This, as you can all see, is but an ordi-
nary package, and it is wound about with
common wrapping twine. | have here
also a large knife. The trick that am
about to show you is this; In full sight Of
everybody the string that surrounds this
package will be parted, but you will not
see me cut it. Here is the knife and here
is the string"
The people crowded closer around him,
and he held the package and knife up for
inspection again. Then he said "Now,
watch, gentlemen, for the performance is
about to Begin With these words he
calmly closed the knife, and putting the
package TO his mouth, bit the string in
two, and jumping down, pushed his way
through the crowd and reached Main
street.
Then he turned and said: 81 am much
Obliged, gentlemen, for your close atten.
ton and liberal contributions. You did
not see me cut the string. simply because
bit IT, Good day, gentlemen, good day.
My best regards" And before anybody
could catch him he disappeared in the
Crowd.-Ruchcster Democrat.

MARKING TIE LINEN.
The French or Raised Latin Stitch Is Now
Considered che Correct Ssyle.

Considered che Correct Style.
While it may in some cases be neces-
sary to mark linen by stamping or writ
ing with an indehble ink, this in only to
be tolerated for ordinary articles under
circumstances forbidding the employ
ment of more approved methods. An
embroidered letter or letters is the prop
erway of marking, and the current fash
ion gives neat and plain though artistic
lettering in place of the highly orna-
mental, involved and illegible letters and
monograms which were recently SO much
In fashion.
For an ordinary set of plain handker-
chiefs, for instance, what could be a
more appropriate marking than single
plain initial neatly wrought in corner?
Plain, everyday sheets and pillowslips
would receive like or even simpler treat
ment. The napkins in ordinary use
should have slightly ornate lettering,
while the richest of table spreads and
the guest chamber linen" should have
the most. elaborate treatment, preserving
always such n degree of fitness for the
designs and figures to which the mark
ing is to be complementary as will make
it blend in pleasing harmony rather than
attract by startling effect.
According to authoritative statements,
the French or raised satin stitch is now
considered the right thing in marking
linen. In most cases pure white is to be
used, though in toweling a tinge of red
may be employed, and where colored ar
ticles are to bemarked such shades are al
lowable as will blend harmoniously with
the main colors. The tendency now is
to quite large letters.
1t is understood that the proper place
to put the mark on a handkerchief is in
one corner. Tablecloths are to be
marked at the middle Of the end. If
with small letters, these are placed near
the hem; if larger, at q corresponding
distance from the edge. In any case
there should be not less than the height
Of the letters between their lower edge
Gnd the hem Of the cloth. Napkins are
marked diagonally across the corner;
towels at the middle of one end, Just
above the hem; sheets on the middle
fold, two inches from tho top hem; long
pillowcases at the end, an inch or tw,
from the hem, and square cases at the
middle Of the top.
