pared to take oath that there has been no
collision. s
This trick is simple, and only calls for a
good memory. The table, which must be
square, is divided into "a imaginary squares
by the medium and his manager, as shown
in the cut. Each square represents COM
mon first name. There is also an imagi-
nary face of a watch on the table, the XII
being toward the audience. The manager
places the watch with the ring toward the
audience, which means IL clock, and in the
third space marked off mentally, which in
dicates minutes after 10. Had the watch
been stopped IL minutes past 8 it would
have been laid in the sQuare marked mike"
in the cut. The ring would have been
pointing to the right, meaning that the hour
hand was at 3, and the twelfth space would
indicate the minute hands position.
The small pencil is laid in the space
marked Harry" and the medium knows
that Harry was the name written. The CT
gar case is lying upon the sixth space and
means that there are six cigars in it. The
long pencil is laid in the ninth space, point
ing toward the fourth space. and indicates
that the number is 81.

The Baldwin Apple.

% The Baldwin is dark red apple of me-
dunn size. 1t grows abundantly through
out this state and New Jersey. Like the
Newtown pippin it keeps for long time,
and for that reason it is in great demand
for winter eating: The Baldwin is the
apple of the people. 1t is sold in cheap
grocery stores and restaurants, on railroad
stations and cars, on street stands and
ferryboats, at circuses and kindred enter
tainments, and in the common, ordinary
boarding house of commerce. It is the
apple which small children buy coated
with glazed sugar and mounted upon q
decapitated match. -
1t is the forbidden fruit which country
school children MUNICH surreptitionsly
during lesson hours, and for which they
get whippings. On the street it sells for
one or two cents. In restaurants it is
served at the rate of two for q quarter.
Two bad features of the Baldwin are the
sickness of it's skin and its tendency to
worms. If it can be kept free from the
latter it will, as above stated, remain good
for many months.-New York Evening

A lieutenant of the Twenty fourth
regiment of Chasseurs, named Taverne,
met with q most tragic death near the
port of Nice yesterday. His horse. a
big, fiery roam. which had been very
little ridden. became FESTIVE shortly after
leaving headquarters. While passing
the well known Chateau Smith the horse
took fright and bolted down an incline.
Some octroi officers saw this, but were
unable to arrest his progress. The off,
Ger managed to steer the animal around
the Nice port, but coming to rapid curve
in the road at spot known as Rabau
Capen he lost all control. The horse
rushed mad]y at a wall, cleared it, and
both horse and rider were dashed over
the rocks into the sea below.
The admiral of the Mediterranean
squadron sent a steam launch, four boats
and fifty men with grapnels to try and
find the bodies. They found key on
the rocks, which has been identified rs
that of the officers chamber in the bar
racks, and some hair of the horse stuck
to the rocks. Up to the present. how
ever, the bodies have not been recovered.
They have probably been taken out to
sea by currents. M. De Freycinet. who
is now in Nice. visited the spot to make
inquiries. The unfortunate officer, who
was only thirty years of age. was most

A Cold Summer and Warm Winter Work

as if had q fortune in my grasp.
Early the next summer we started to
work it, but my hard luck came toddling
along and did me up. There wasn't
month that summer when we didn't have
frost, and there was absolutely no demand
for ice. That left me stranded again in

BABY AND His CAT.
The Unwonted Sight Which Attracted All
Eyes ON u Crowded Street.


Eyes On a Crowded Street.
The sidewalk was filled with hurrying
people. Three peddlers stood on the curb
one with shoelaces, another with candy, an
other with gold paint. Neither looked as
if lie expected to sell anything. Nobody
paid the slightest attention to them. A
man without legs came stumping over the
sidewalk. People merely hurried out of his
way. A man passed, dressed in Outlandish
garments. advertising patent medicine.
Nobody looked twice at him. An old wom-
an whose tangled gray hairs were blown in
the wind shuffled feebly along, and nobody
saw her. A pair of Chinese, an Italian
woman dressed as for a fete, negro nearly
feet in height. a Turk swaddled in turban
and baggy trousers, drunken woman, q
man with locomotor ataxia-all passed
within few minutes, and nobody stopped
even for moment to look at anybody else,
except the beggars, and they were utterly
disregarded.
Then appeared from somewhere, as if out
of hole in the ground, a child about 2
years old, ragged and smeared as to it's
hands with mud and as to it's face with
traces of bread and molasses, besides plain
dirt. Its hair was tOusled, and it's large
blue eyes were fixed straight ahead with all
that sweet Inconsistencies of childhood
written of by poets. In it's hands it carried
a gray striped cat. One little fist grabbed
the loose skin at the nape; the other grasped
it firmly over the hind quarters. Each par
ticular leg of the cat stuck out straight and
rigid. Each claw showed it's shining curve.
The cat did not appearto be uncomfortable,
and the child was gloriously unconscious
of everything but its own baby thoughts.
The child was SO young that it went un-
steadily tottering down the middle of the
sidewalk, with the cat held up in front of it
like drum majors staff.
There was not one hurrying wayfarer-
man or woman-who did not pause and
laugh. A number stopped short and fol-
lowed the child as it staggered along BY
the time the baby had travelled half a block
it had an escort of 20 grown persons besides
the swarm of boys. The baby tottered
along, its magnificent gravity undisturbed,
and when breathless, bareheaded woman
came running and snatched up the young
explorer (still holding on bravely to the cat)
each person in the crowd looked sheepish
and hurried away.-New York Times.

800 each minute, 5000 every hour, or 49,

Devils Lake.

Tangago, the Chippewas, came from the
north and pitched their tepees on the north
shore of the lake. They had reason to be-
lieve that the Sioux were encamped on the
southern shore, and they planned to cross
to the south before daylight and surprise
their traditional enemies. The Sioux had
a similar thought and design, and each
tribe proceeded to exterminate the other.
They met in about the middle of the lake
and fought, and all were lost. The time is
not fixed except that the incident marks
an epoch in the history of both tribes.
Another battle was fought afterward on
the south shore between other cOntingents
of those respective tribes The Chippewas
came in canoes from the north as before.
This was in 1867. The Chippewa warriors
were all slain but one man. who returned
badly wounded and riddled. The fatalities
connected with the lake and the apparitions
gave rise to the name Minnewaukan, or
spirit water, mysterious water, haunted
water, fated water, and finally to DEVILS
lake as the only English equivalent for the
Indians idea as expressed in Minnewaukan.
The Chippewas came here in canoes. The
Sioux also used canoes. With, but few
portages, the former could easily at that
time, while the lake was so far above its
present level, come from Lake Superior to
Devils lake. Since~the fatalities related
those Indians have superstitious dread of
canoes. Young people are getting over the
dread, but old Indians will wade to their
waist fishing while boats are within reach,
but won't dare enter.-Minneapolis Trib-
