DECEIVED A KING,
An American Magician Who Once Per.
formed Before Burmah's Ruler.

An American Magician Who Once Per.
formed Before Burmah's Ruler.
Kellar, the magician, had peculiar
experience in the east once, which
came near ending his career, or at
least confining it to the limits of Bur-
nah. While performing in India,
where he is always assured of great
patronage, the Hindoos being much in
terested in magic and no mean experts
themselves, he had an invitation to ap-
pear before the young king of Burmah.
Accordingly he made the trip up the
Rangoon river to Mandelay, the then
capital of the country. There great
palaver took place, the ministers of the
king demanding that Kellar and his
assistants should appear before his
majesty barefooted and kneeling, as
was the native custom. This he OBJ
jected to on the ground that he could
not perform his tricks in that posture,
SO an exception was made in his case.
''On the day of the exhibition" re-
lates the magician, 1--WE entered a
large room where all the court was
kneeling The king and his harem, SO
we were informed. were concealed be-
hind a screen. where they could see
but not be seen. Accordingly we went
through such tricks as we could do
under these conditions, not being per-
mitted to take things from the specta-
tors pockets, as is the present custom
Throughout the performance there
was not sound, SO we could not tell
whether we had pleased or failed. But
at its conclusion a grave minister in
formed us that the king was SO highly
pleased that as special favor he would
permit us to look upon his face. So the
screen was withdrawn and there sat
the king, little, dried-up looking fell
low, surrounded by his wives, the lat
ter reclining Then he offered me the
position of court entertainer, and posi-
lively would not hear of our leaving
until we had given another perform
ance.
''They entertained us in most lavish
style, loading us down with presents,
besides paying about $2,50O in our
money for each performance AS an.
other additional favor we were permit
ted to look upon the sacred white ele-
phant, q dirty little beast, which was
kept in such luxury that no wonder he
became conceited and vicious In fact,
they did everything possible to keep us,
but wanted to get away. and began
to fear that / would have to spend the
rest of my life in Burmah. Chicago

A WASTEFUL ECONOMY.
The Low-Priced Service Of Many HON
an Extravagant Item.

The LOw-Priced Service Of Many Homes
an Extravagant Item.
The first and greatest of wasteful
economies is low-priced service. There
by you waste not merely your substance
but yourself. The woman whose mind
is made up that she twill not pay more
than twelve dollars a month";" usually
finds life long procession of girls" in
the rough, who each wing away as
soon as drilled into some semblance of
efficiency. No doubt it is irritating not
to reap where you have sown in
troublous tears, but stop and think a
bit. You were not wholly disinterest-
ed. You taught and trained, wrested
with ignorance, fought and overcame
sloven ways, not as a missionary, but
for your own sake, in the hope that
after awhile you might sit at ease amid
orderly comfort. What though it is
through your effort that your servant
is more valuable, recognize that COM
fort and peace of mind are mighty
sufficient returns on the investment.
and do not Rrudgo her a few dol
lars more. Honesty, capacity, trained
intelligence have "a distinct market
value. At tho highest rate they come
much cheaper than doctors bills or
months Of running away from the
fiend nervous prostration. Reflect, too
that by not paying you are sole suf-
ferer. Plenty Of other people will. To
the girl it is merely change Of homes.
She would be something more than
human II she did not feel and obey the
impulse to better her condition. Put
yourself in her place and see IL you
would be willing to work for less than
you could get by merely crossing the
street.
In the other case of q girl who never
outgrows the twelve-dollar stage it is
safe to say she Is dear at any price.
When at last she grows intolerable
take stock of her reign. Count the
cost of her in moth and rust and sloth,
in wear and tear and breakage. and
see II beside It higher wages do not
sink out of sight. Take account also
of nervous strain, of family jars and
chickering's whose root was in the
neither household regions, and it will
not need the bills of butcher and baker
and candlestick-maxer to convince you
that your cheap servant cost you q
pretty penny.-Harper's Bazaar.

Use of Crnnberrles.

Cranberries are abundant this year,
and should take the place in the cuisine
which has been given over to apples in
the past, these being few and high
priced this season. All fruits have u
medicinal value, and the cranberry
acts as an anti-scorbutic- 1t is blood
cleanser; bruised and heated, not
cooked they have a healing effect on
bad humors- One cut in half and
bound on a corn will cure it in one or
more applications. 1t will be equally
efficacious in the case of pimples on
the face. AS an article of food the
cranberry is too little known. Many
families know it only in the form OF
sauce, but it may be served in many
other ways. A cooling, refreshing
drink may be made by boiling the ber-
ries in water. double the measure OF
berries. Boil until the juice has been
thoroughly extracted, sweeten with
one-half pound of sugar to the pint OF
Juice and bottle hot. This should be
served in the same manner as rasberry
or currant shrubs Toledo Blade.

It Iseats the Reoofd.

An alligator story which beats the rec. ord comes from Early county. Some ns'
 groes were at work in a turpentine farm near Damascus cleaning the trash and straw away from the boxes preparatory to burning of tho woods. when they came across an alligator who hsd erawied out during the last ws-m spell to put on his new spring suit. but who waa knocked back Into nstate lpf dormancy by the recent cold snap.
 The old fellow was lying there stiff hard. motionless and crusty. and th' negroes decided that they would mak, an end of him by burning him up; s they dipped turpentine out of the boxes and covered him over entirely with that infiammable substance and then heap ed pine straw on top of him and then poured more turpentine on that.
 When the fire began to blaze his alli- gatorship suddenly awoke from dreams of icebergs and hoar frosts into what he supposed was the land of the peren- nial summer where the bad gators go.. Nevertheless instinct was stronger than intellect, and old crusty decided that. even though he were in hell, he would split for pond. He splitted, and through the pine woods he went. leaving long streak of fire, His rapid flight to the pond gave him the appearance of gorgeous meteor float ing away, leaving behind 1t a tail of flame.
 A minute later 0he trail of fire was a mile long) the gator was rolling over and under in the cooling waters of a cypress pond, but the woods were burn Ing up. The festive darkies, who a minute before were waiting and watch Ing in unfeigned glee to see the gator burn. were now busy fighting fire. Af- ter long while they succeeded in put ting 1t out, but ten crops of boxes had been destroyed.

A Fishhawk's Mistake rFromthe phila6alphi oTymao

Fishhawks get their entire food sup ply from the water. Their eyes are SC
 constructed that even at great heights
 they can see fish that swim near the
 surface and then dive with lightning speed. The fish is caught in the claws
 and is taken to the nest of the bird be.
 fore being eaten. The writer has seer a hawk make mistake and catch a hard crab, and when the crab got both
 his big claws fairly at work on the ten.
 der part of the birds legs there was
 somewhat of shaking and diving in
 the air to get rid of the crab, but it is not often they get fooled. It is gen. erally all in their favor. A hawk will fly away with big eel wriggling in it's claws that man could not hold thirty seconds with both hands. The hawks sometimes, however. will dive at things they do not want, and thing occurred few years ago which is worth telling,
 A steamer was passing Seabright. It was big coaster from Savannah to New York, and a lady on board lost overheard a, handsome and valuable lace shawl, which f1oated away after striking the water. The passengers, being interested. watched the shawl as far as they could see it, and finally saw fishhawk dive at it, get 1t fast to its claws and fly inland with 1t. The lady was very much put out at losing the article and advertised reward for the same. A lineman took notion he could get the shawl after hearing the circumstances, and with his spurs he started to pay a visit to every fish, nest in the county immediately back of Seabright The shawl was found hanging on the side of nest on the Lewis White farm near Little Sil- yer. What the hawk wanted with the shawl Is hard to tell, for they use no such thing in building their nests.
