CHINESE JUGGlERS.
Some Of the Strange and Startling Feats
That They Perform.

Some Of the Strange and Startling Feats
That They Perform.
Chinese jugglers and Indian fakirs
have pretty much the same "stock in
trade" Hy1e is an account of some
tricks performed by Chinese:
When the conjurer asked the specta-
tors what they wanted to see, some one
called for pumpkin.
"a pumpkin" answered the conjur-
er; that is impossible. Pumpkins are
out of season.
However, he was only talking, for
presently he took pumpkin seed and
planted it IL the earth. Then, having
made his little son, or years old, lie
down, he thrust knife into his throat.
The blood poured out into q vessel, and
with it the man moistened the spot
where the seed had been planted.
Next he covered the corpse with a
cloth and placed wooden bell over the
seed. In few moments a sprout was
seen rising from the soil 1t grew and
grew and burst into flower. The flower
fell, the pumpkin showed itself and in
creased in size with extraordinary ra-
pidity.
As soon as it was ripe the man picked
it from the stalk, showed it to the pub
lie and took up collection, after
which, of course, he lifted the cloth
and found the boy perfectly unframed.
The second feat, by different per-
| former, was even more startling. A
peach was called for by one of the spec
tators.
1T is March," said the magician.
"Thc land is still icebound. Peaches
are rot to be obtained now except in
paradise.
"Oh, WELL" answered the spectators,
You are a sorcerer and ought to be
able to bring peach down from heav-

The ocniurer grumbled, but finally
| consented to see what he could do He
began by weaving roll of ribbon,
which he cast into the air. 1t took at
once the shape of ladder, which went
up to a tremendous height. On it he
placed a child, and the little fellow ran
up the rungs like monkey. Up, up he
went till he vanished in the clouds.
Some moments passed, then peach
dropped from the sky. The magician
picked it up, cut it into slices and Of
fered it to the bystanders. twas q real

Then horrible thing happened. The
head of the child dropped out of the
sky and was followed by the trunk and
then the legs. With tears in his eyes the
man picked them up and placed them
i'll q box. But after much show of grief
and after the sympathetic spectators had
taken up collection for his benefit lie

Nearly Killed by n Deer.

The literature of hunting is full Of
anecdotes which show tie danger OF q
too hasty assumption that IA wounded
animal is dead or past the power Of de-
Tending himself. a new illustration is
furnished by Mr. Roosevelt in his
"Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail"
Not only will big, black tail bucl,
beat off dog or wolf coming at him
i'll front, but he is an awkward foe for Il
man. One Of them nearly killed cow
boy in my employ.
The buck, mortally wounded, had
fallen to the shot, and the man rushed
up to kill him. Then the buck revived
for moment, struck down the man and
endeavored to gore him, but could not,
because of the Gcspairing grip with
which the man held On to his horns
Nevertheless the man, bruised and
cut by the sharp hoofs, was fast becom-
ing too weak to keep his hold, when i'll
the struggle the two came to the edge
of washout and fell into it some IL or
10 feet. This separated them. The
dying buck was too weak to renew the
attack, and the man crawled off, but it
was months before he got over the eff
fcCts OF the encounter.

That Illinois Legislature.

The Detroit Free Press, one OF the
most reliable papers in Michigan. has
IN editorial on the Illinois legisla-
lure. 1t speaks for itself. Here it
):
"Gov. Altgeld, Of Illinois, has at
last turned his attention to subject
upon which he is thoroughly in
formed. and unquestionably right.
lie has taken position in which he
has the thorough approval of most of
he Chicago papers. The late repub-
lean legislature earned and merited
every one OF the bitter words of de-
nunciation which the governor has
rained upon it. Although summoned
by him n second time to take up and
consider matters of the most vital in
terest and Importance to the state, it
has deliberately failed to do so.
Whatever valid excuses there might
have been for this declaration at the
regular session of the legislature.
there were none for the repeated ne
elect at the special session that was
called by the governor to consider
only measures of great moment to
the state. The republican Chicago
rimes-Herald has itself boldly en-
posed the glazing corruption and dis
honesty of the legislature and de-
manded a searching Investigation.
This the legislature refused to give.
and its action was sanctioned if not

directed by the republican state COM
mittee. Thus the republican ma
chine in Illinois has placed itself in
a position where it must carry all
the responsibility for the wretched
record made by the legislature. The
republicans of Illinois, like those of
New York and Michigan, have proved
themselves unworthy to be trusted
with continued control of the state
governments. The offenses of the
Illinois legislature against honesty
are undoubtedly less fragrant than
those of the legislatures of New York
and Michigan. But neither the New
York nor the Michigan republican
organizations has yet given its Off.
cial sanction to the performance Of
the legislative bodies, although in
our own state the supine subser-
vency of the legislature to the will Of
the chairman Of the republican state
central committee perhaps entities
that body to the same kind of official
recognition that the Illinois bodies
which have just dispersed at SPRING
field received from the party ma
chine.
"Gov. Altgeld has taken'so strong
4 position in this matter. however,
that there was no necessity that the
repu blican state central committee
should officially conform the dis
honor of the commonwealth. In his
message to the legislature and inter
views in the press he has pilloried
the legislature and tlayed its cor
rupt leaders in such a manner that
there is no possibility that the elee-
tors of Illinois can forget that all
the possible issues of the next cam
paign in that state none is more vital
than the restoration of honest gov
eminent at the state capital"

A City Built In a Cherry Seed.

At the time of the French Crystal
Palace exposition Nuremberg toymak-
er exhibited 4 cherry stone within the
cavity Of which he. had built perfect
plan of the city of Sevastopol, streets,
railway approaches, bridges, etc.
A powerful microscope was used in
exhibiting this wonderful miniature
city, and it is estimated that not less
than 500, 900 people took peep ct the
results Of the toymaker's toll. Each Of
these 100000 sightseers deposited a
franc piece in the hands of the ingen-
ious workman, the total Of the cash
thus taken in netting him snug little

A POINTER FOR THE CARELESS.
How Unused Railway Tickets May Be Re-
deemed at Slight Cost.


deemed at Slight Cost.
Some men with valuable unused rail
way tickets On their hands sell them to
scalpers, while others go to the railway
company that issued tlfem and obtain
their value in money. Most men, how
ever, do neither, and accept the loss
when the ticket is worth less than "a dol
Lar. Indeed, many men do not realize
that railway companies stand ready to
redeem unused tickets even Of small
value, so that the companies must be
richer by many thousands of dollars
per year by reason of this neglect or ig-
norance.
Every railway ticket bears the name
of the general passenger agent of the
road issuing the same. 1t is simple
matter to inclose the ticket with n let
ter directed to the general passenger
agent asking him to refund the money
paid and explaining the reason why
the ticket is left unused in tho hands of
the purchaser. 1t is courteous to irclose
a stamped envelope in which the money
may be returned.
When all these things have been done
the company usually acknowledges the
receipt of the ticket holders communi-
cation and promises to investigate the
matter. The investigation consists in
the proper identification of the ticket
and little bookkeeping to set all right
in the accounts. Then the purchaser re-
ceives from the company Il check for the
amount due, along with letter request
ing acknowledgment on the part of the
recipient. That closes the transaction
and there is no material loss on either
side.-New York Sun.
