1t Went of,

A story is told of a certain Snowman
who combined with the ordinary circus
performance o display of fireworks. At
II town he advertised the BATTLE of
Trafalgar, with burning ships, blazing
oceans and other magnificent effects.
He drew such a vivid picture of that
great naval encounter hat the people
from the entire countryside were at
tTacted to see it. When the time arrived,
the Snowman brought his guiding hand
to bear on the set piece, applied the
match in the usual and retired
to await results. Several minutes passed,
but no battle ensued. The Snowman
then stepped forward and addressed the
crowd.
"It has not went of" he remarked
and proceeded to Investigate.
Again the same result followed, and
again.
sit has not went OF, ladies and gem
tlemen," continued the Snowman. 81
will now show you the great earthquake
Of Lisbon" He gathered the fireworks
together and filled q barrel with them.
He poured turpentine over them and
sprinkled The lot freely with gunpow-
der. Once moro he applied the torch,
with astonishing results. There was an
explosion, and when all was over he
gave q parting address.
'It has went off, ladies and gentle
men, and SO has three fingers Of my
hand. Good evening, and many thanks.

Some OF the Tricks OF So Called Mind
Readers Solved by DIR. Eysi0p.


DR.. Hyslop Of Columbia college, says
a writer in the Boston Herald, has help
ed to bring down several SO called mind
readers who have visited New York.
The Taylors, a man and woman who
gave exhibitions in New York tive
years ago and convinced nearly every
one who saw them Of the genuineness OK
their manifestations, gave q private Sc
Gnce for the benefit Of this Columbia
professor and some OF his scientific
friends, They found hidden objects,
they picked out cards that had been Sc
lected from q pack and then shufded in
again, and all the other familiar tricks,
with more than common success, mi Of
them staying III the room and being in
the secret, and the other coming in aft
er all was ready and supposedly read
ing the partner mind.
All went we'll until Or. Hyslop and q
confederate took the Taylors aback by
announcing that they could do the same
things. They had found that the words
used w one of tho mind readers" in
calling the other into the room were
what gave tie desired information. 1t
was discovered that by skillful arrange
ment Of not more than six words q sur
prising amount of information could be
conveyed. This is the first time the fact
that the Taylors we're not genuine mind
readers has been made public.
Another mind reader" exposed by
DR.. Ryslop and coinvostigators was
GuibaI, who gave exhibitions in New
York recently and astonished hundreds
Of persons, most of whom suppose to
this day that his tricks were bona fde
psychic phenomena. Guibal's assistant
was q woman called Greville, who sat
on the stage, and who, so far rs could
90 seen lor "a long time, gave him absO-
lutely no sign Of what was in her mind.
Guibal apparently read that mind as if
it were an open book. The whole thing
was found to b9 a trick, and the expia-
nation is now in tho archives of the So
biety for Psychical Research. 1t is be-
lieved that Guihal and Greville were
the same persons whose performances
had amazed London not long before,
The woman breathed very heavily, and
the code Of signals lay in the manner of
her breathing, messages being conveyed
by long and short breaths, something
like the dots and dashes i'll the Morse
telegraph code.

Lucky end unluelsy vseetables.

Peas and beans arc very important
plants il folklore, and there are many
suporstitiols connected with them.
Peas were favc~ite instruments for divi-
nation. i pea pod with nine peas was
equal to a wishbone when placed above
tho door. In Northamptonshiro it is &C.
counted generally lucky to find nine peas
i'll q pod, or kid. In Mecklerburg, Ger
many, it is believed that peas must DO
sown early on "Wednesday or Thursday,
or the birds will carry them off. If
they are fed to hens, it is said thi fowls
will lay well. They must not, however,
be eaten during the Christmas holidays
nor until after Twelfth day.
Beans were mysterious in antiquity.
Pliny says they contain the souls of the
dead. The Romans used them III reli.
gious ceremonies. They were used in
Greece as ballots, and Pythagoras desir-
ed his disciples not to ''loye beans''-

THE SILENCE CURE.
a Physician who Says Women Hurt Their
Nerves by Talking Too Much.

Nerves by Talking TOO Much.

she be inclined to talk too much, should
time herself just as she would take

many minutes Of talk.
''Now, the other day a woman who
is troubled with insomnia came into my
Office for treatment. She had been tax
ing drugs. She told mo about her trou-
bles, and her tongue ran like tho clap
per of a farmhouse bell at dinner time.

CURIOUS TEA PARTIES.
The Odd and Eternal Little Functions That
Are Held In Pearl Street.

Are Held In Pearl Street.
There is an everlasting tea party in
function on Pearl street, near Hanover
square. An aroma of freshly STEPPED
leaves fills the air all the week, and fol-
lowing your nose to the cause you will
find it pointing down to little gloomy
easements where teacups are perpetual
ly spread. They are all plain white
cups, and there is no display Of table
cloth or dainty cakes-just plain tea.
And the methods of the tea parties that
foregather there are just as plain and
unceremonious.
They generally consist of old gentle
men of severely respectable appearance,
and when these old parties feel like it
they go down the basement steps and
take q pinch of tea out Of a caddy or
suacer, or whatever it may be kept in,
and put it in tho cup and pour a little
hot water on it, but never any milk or
sugar. And then, despite their eminent
ly respectable air, they dip their fingers
in the cups and stir the tea leaves about
or maybe fish out q leaf and unroll it,
sometimes putting it in their mouths
and chewing it.
But, strangest thing of all, they new
er drink their tea after all the trouble
they have taken with it. IL fact, they
seem to take a strong dislike to the in
fusion as soon as it is before them.
Sometimes they sniff at it, and if ever
they take it into their mouths they DO
but roll it around and spit it ont.
Moreover, they will do tho same things
with half q dozen cups il succession
until DR.. Johnson-unless he know the
reason-would have cried out at the
waste Of the cheering bat rninebriat-
ing beverage.
Meanwhile other gentlemen sit also
at the table and anxiously watch all
this shifting and splitting, for these are
the tea tasters and samplers, and this
is where tea is bought and sold not by
tho pound, but by tho carload.-New
York Sun.

AOTHER CRASH.

With south Dakota.

Said to Have Gone to New

A report reached here yesterday
that State Treasurer W. w. Taylor
had been found short in his account
with the state about $352,OOO, and
that the last heard of him he ives in
New York City. The report says his
Redfeld bank suspended this week;
that this big sum was school land
money; that he had lost about $50
600 in various state banks, etc. First
reports are usually sensational. We
hope for better news when all is
known.
