CHINESE JUGGLERS.
Some of the Strange and Startling Teats
That They Perform.

That They Perform.
Chinese jugglers and Indian fal1irs
have pretty much the same "stock in
trade " Here 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 in the earth. Then, having
made his little son, or years old, lie
down, he thrust knife into his throat
The blood poured out into a vessel, and
with it the man moistened the spot
where the seed had been planted.
Next he covered the corpse with
cloth and placed a 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
1.-THE land is still icebound Peaches
are not to be obtained now except in
paradise"
"Oh, WE'LL" answered the spectators,
you are u sorcerer and ought to be
able to bring q peach down from heav-
en-. "
The conjurer 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 tremendous height. On it he
placed child, and the little fellow ran
up the rungs like a 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. 1t was q real
peach.
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
in box. But after much show of grief
and after the sympathetic spectators had
taken up collection for his benefit he
opened the box and said, Come forth,
my child, and thank these kind gentle
men. At the word out leaped the child,
alive and we'll. -Philadelphia Times

IF SOME MEN WILL READ THlSl
They Will Then Learn What Modest
Women Think About Them.


"Why will men be such beasts?" said
an indignant young woman to friend
as they alighted from the ''L" at Fiji
tieth street one day last week. Il have
just suffered acute mental anguish for
the last few minutes because a great
brute Of a man would insist upon crowd
ing up against me and touching me with
his knee. There is nothing so madden
ing to a modest, refined mind as that.
A woman is practically defenseless.
"Now tonight the cars were crowded,
and / was tired enough, as you may
imagine, to drop down into that vacant
seat with a sigh of relief, which was
quickly changed to anxiety when I
realized what / should have to endure
from the man beside me. l moved over
so that he could not touch me without
changing his position. Under pretext of
unfolding his paper, he followed me,
watching me narrowly out of the corner
of his eye, or rather 1 felt he was, for I
never looked at him. Finally l moved
as far as l could without falling into
the aisle. 1t was no use, and 1 just
jumped up and held to strap the rest
of the way.
at is at such times as this that l
long for some one-sOme man with
real, manly heart in him-to teach such
a creature as that that there is an I'M
written law at least which keeps men
from forcing their attentions where they
are not wanted. I wonder sometimes if
it is because am obliged to work for a
living that 1 have to endure such
things"
~ do not think that fact makes any
difference" said her companion, "for 1
saw pretty little doll of a woman who
tolls not nor spins pass through SINH
lar experience on Broadway cable car
She stood it as long as she could, and
then she brought her umbrella down be-
tween her and the obnoxious creature
with thud that made every one stare
"All the women in the car took in
the situation at a glance and shot such
glances at the masher that he sneaked
off the car after block or two
"The little woman looked relieved,
but she forgot to relax the tense lines
around her mouth, and the bright red
spots did not fade from her cheeks. Since
that l have used my own umbrella to
stave off obnoxious persons. New

A City Built In Cherry Seed.

AT the time of the French Crystal
Palace exposition % Nuremberg toymak-
er exhibited 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 at the
results of the toymaler'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
fortune.-St. Louis Republic

SORTING THE LIVE GRABS,
What the Man With the Wooden longs
Saws About Them


The job of sorting out crabs as they
come from the fishing smacks at Fulton
market is one that would have no par
ticular charms for a nervous man. The
box wriggles all over with blue and
white legs and pinchers, and, while q
hand thrust in would probably receive
no very painful injuries, still it would
be more than most folk would be will
ing to undertake.
The man who does it has pair of
wooden tongs, with which he picks up
each crab and looks at it before he drops
it into the sack. If the crustacean wild
ly waves his claws, the man counts him
and passes on to another. But once in
awhile he stops as he gets string of
three Or four holding on to each other s
legs. He squeezes a body about amid
ships, and if it doesn' feel just right he
disengages it and drops it into another
sack
"What do you do that for?"
'Thirtyseven, thirty -oight-what?"
"What do You squeeze them so for?'
The man looks as astonished as if you
had asked him what ferryboats were
useful for, and answers: "To see if
they're alive. Thirty nine, forty"
''What do you do with the dead
ones?''
The man had got to the bottom of the
box before he took the trouble to an
swer. Then he gathered up the 20 or 30
loose claws and legs which had come
loose and dropped them into the bag
Then he said, "Garbage," shouldered
the sack of squirming crabs and went
on into the fish store. New York Her.

 We half suspect that the bottom mo- tive of this business was not the hope of being historian, but rather the dis tinction of having correspondence with Q great man. However this may be, the Abbe indulged Napoleon, wrote to him, advised him to study further, and then to rewrite his work Not only did the historical ambition have the Lieutenant but the romantic also. He took some what to novels, and for the first time falling in love, determined to write novel At the house of Madame du Co., lombier, he made the acquaintance of her beautiful daughter, and fell in love with her-after the manner of all young lieutenants. The flame of this passion presently went out but traces of 1t are seen in his correspondence until what time-ceasing to love Madamoiselle O. lombier = he turned pessimist, de- nounced love as naockery, and in par ticular as the drawback to human am bition
 In the midst of the ftful gleams of this cratic life may be seen burning the coals of that furnace-heat which the years have not yet extinguished. The student Bonaparte became a pale, living reality. He supplied himself with the works of the leading authors of the age, and devoured them with the rapacity of one starving He made himself familiar with the writings of Voltaire and Neck CT. The one he followed through the mazes of the new French learning, and the other through the intricacies of prao- tical finance. For months together, in his lodgings and about the barracks, he might be seen, with book in hand, nut tering as he read, peneiling the margins, approving and condemning the doctrine, according to his judgment or whim There never was time i'll his life when he swept within his grasp 8 greater amount of intellectual products than during the after part of 1786 and the

THE newspapers made heap of fun, or tried to do so, of Senator Gall for everlastingly bombarding the United States Senate chamber with his anti-lottery resolutions. It was his hobby as much so as Ha- vivian matters, ridden entirely to death by Representative Boutelle; but Gall finally witnessed the ac- complishment of his hearts desire. The new anti-Iottery law forbidding the transportation oflottery tickets and literature between, or their i'm portation into this country, is un- doubtedIy good thing. The act also strikes at the gift enterprise schemes of the metropolitan dailies, an illegitimate phase of the news paper business which has sprung up in late years and worked injury to old-fashioaed journalism.

 The insurrection in Lyons quelled it. self before the arrival of Lieutenant Bonaparte' s contingent. The municipal ity proved itself sufficiently strong to put down tho insurgents without the as- sistance of the military arm. Fighting there was none Napoleon's company, arriving in due time, was stationed in the city for 0 month. It was small be- ginning of war for him who was des- tined, with less than decade, to lead victorious army over the Alps into Italy.
 The disturbance at Lyons put date to Bonaparte,s career at Valenee. He had remained in that place from the fall of 1785 to August of 1787 This period of twenty-three months, though obscure in its manifestations, was one of the most important in his life. It was the transition from youth to early manhood. At this stage in the lives of men, the mind passes rapidly from one condition to another Particularly is this true if study have been the mood and genius the attribute of the person concerned.
 Tha ambition of the young officer now shot out in several directions. Deeply impressed with the fame and power of the great authors whose writings just then were setting the world afame, he, too, would be an author Such was the quality of this singular parsonage that be never distrusted himself in anything. Before the end of his eighteenth year he conceived himself able and qualified to write historyl Corsica should be his theme He would write the annals of his native land in so philosophical q manner as to place him alongside of the Abbe Raynall He went so far as to ad- dress 2. letter to that august parsonage, telling him that he himself, though a youth, was already q writer. lie begged the historian to excuse his audaeity.
