HERE'S REALISM FOR YOU

The Exceedingly Remarkable Perform
anee of Skilled Chinese yentrlioquisf-
A man who witnessed the perform
ance gives the following description Of
what a ventriloquist in China said:
The ventriloquist was seated behind
screen, where there were only a chair,
a table, fan and a ruler. With the
ruler he raped on the table to enforce
the silence, and when everybody had
ceased speaking there was suddenly
heard the barking Of a dog. Then We
heard the movem ents Of a woman. She
had been Weakened by the dog, and was
shaking her husband. We were just
expecting to hear The man and wife
talking together, when a child began
to cry. To pacify it the mother gave
it food; we could hear it driaking and
crying at the sar7e time. The mother
spoke to it soothiE"i and then rose
to change its clothes. Meanwhile
another child had been Weakened and
was beginning to make noise. The
father scolded it. while the baby con
tinued crying. By and by the whole
family went back to bed and fell asleep.
The patter of mouse was heard. It

heard the clatter of the vase as it fell.
The woman coughed in her sleep. Then
cries of Fire firew were heard. The
mouse had upset the lamp; the bed
curtains were on fire. The husband
and wife walked up, shouted and
screamed, the children cried, thou
sands of people came running and
shouting. Children cried, dogs barked,
the walls came crashing down, sduibs
and crackers exploded. The fire bri-
gade came racing up. Water was
pumped up in torrents and Missed in the
flames. The representation was SO true
to life that every one arose to his feet
and was starting away, when a second
blow Of the ruler on the table COM
manded silence. We rushed behind the
screen, but there was nothing there eX-
cept the ventriloquist, his table, his
chair and his ruler.
