Celebrated Feats Whose Performance Il
Oeieosale" 1nd,ed a Mystery.
Indian jugglers are famous not only for
their tricks, but for the apparent ease and
openness with which they perform them.
DR.. Norman Macleod describes his own
futile attempts to discover how one of their
most celebrated feats was accomplished:
Through one Of my friends. l asked for
the well-known Mango trick. lam told that
many intelligent young men profess TO know
how the trick is done, but whenever l made
inquiries ! have found, to my regret, that at
that moment they have always forgotten
the secret.
While the tomtom was beating and the
pipe playing, the iuggler, singing all the
time in low accents, smoothed a place in the
gravel three or four yards before US. Hav-
ing thus prepared a bed for the plant to
grow in, he took a basket and placed it over
the prepared place, covering it with a thin
blanket. The man himself did not wear a
thread Of clothing except a strip round the
loins. p
The time seemed now to have come for
the detectives eyel So, just as he was be-
coming more earnest in his song, and while
the tom-tom beat and the pipe shrilled more
loudly, / stepped forward, with becoming
dignity, and begged him to bring the basket
and its cover to me.
He cheerfully complied. and l carefully
examined the basket, which was made Of
open wicker-work. l then examined the
cloth covering, which was thin, almost
transparent, and certainly had nothing con-
cealed in it. 'hD' Z
Then l fixed my eyes on his strip of
clothing with such ~intentness that it was
not possible it could be touched without
discovery, and babe him go on, feeling sure
that the trick could not succeed.
Sitting down he stretched his naked arms
under the basket, singing and smiling as
he did so, then lifted the basket off the
ground, and behold a green plant about a
foot hight = =
Satisfied with our applause, he went on
with his incantations. After having sat a
little, to give his plant time to grow, he
again lifted the basket, and the plant was
now two feet high.
de asked us to wait awhile, that we
might taste the fruit! But being assured
by those who had seen the trick performed
before that this result would be attained.
confessed myself done" without the
slightest notion of the how. l examined
the ground, and found it smooth and un-
turned. p
Apparently delighted with my surprise,
the Juggler stood up laughing, when one Of
his companions chucked a pebble at him,
which he put in his mouth. Immediately
the same companion, walking backward,
drew forth a cord of silk, twenty yards or
so IN length, after which the juggler, with
his hands behind him, drew forth from his
mouth two decanter shoppers, two shells, a
spinning top, a stone, and several other
things, followed by a long jet OF fire.

Gold and Silver.

The democratic majority in congress
should have no difficulty whatever in
settling their financial troubles. Their
position on the money question has
long been defined. The platform of
their national convention. held at
Chicago 1892, contained the following
plank:
We hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money of the
country, and to the coinage of both
gold and silver without discriminating
against either metal or charge for
mintage; but the dollar unit of COIN
age of both metals must be Of equal
intrinsic and exchangeable value, or to
be adjusted through international
agreement, or by such safeguards of
legislation as shall insure the main
tenance of the parity of the two met
ais and the equal power of every dol
lar at all times in the markets and in
the payment Of debt: and we demand
that all paper currency shall be kept at
par with and redeemable in such coin.
We insist upon this policy as especially
necessary for the protection of the
farmers and laboring classes, the first
and most defsnseless victims of I'm
stable money and fuctuating currency
There is no mistake about the fore
going. The democrats demand the use
of both gold and silver as the stand.
ard money of the country. They fur
Their demand "the coinage of both gold
and silver also, that the value of
every gold Of silver dollar should be
the same at all times. and further, that
our paper currency shall he of the
same parity and "redeemable in such
coin."-New York Advertiser.
The remarks of the Advertiser are
clear cut and filled with piercing re-
buke and picture to the reader very
forcibly the falsity of the demo-
cratic administration; 1t modestly,
yet very wildly illustrates the diff
ference between the promises of the
Chicago platform and the actions of
the democratic congress. The diff
ference between the democratic
promises and pledges set forth in
the Chicago platform and the con-
duct OF the president, his admins
tration and the democratic congress
is vast, and no better exhibition of
their villainy could be produced.

MY GARDEN. !

lhave twelve pretty garden beds
Where green things greenly blow;
Where, soldier like, the cabbage-heads
Are ranged in many a row;
Where radishes and sugar beets,
BY pearly showers hurst,
With pease and other garden sweets
Upon my vision burst.
/ often pause and fondly muse
Upon these sprouts galore;
But all the garden truck we use
Ipurchase at the store.
It's pleasant, in my slippered feet
When smiles the rosy morn,
To linger at the garden seat
And watch the hammered corn;
To note within the rustling tree
The merry piping wrens,
And from my elephants, blowing free.
To chase my neighbours hens.
Then to the grocer, smiling gay,
lsay in tones polite:
bring in two can of pease, 1 pray,
And three of corn to-nightm
The airs as f1ower-sweet as wine
Through which the gold bees fash;
Hove to linger on my spine
And watch the succotash.
1never work when I can play,
Or cen when / can fork
Out twenty dolls. per moon to pay
The gentleman from Cork.
1t is o garden for the eye
That every passer scans,
For my real garden l must buy
All ready-made in cans.
My garden is a spot serene
Where blows the mixed tea-rose.
And apples drop from bowers green
And dislocate my nose.
Hove to watch the butterfly
Tit on the flower cup;
But when my garden bright I SOY
On paper figured up
And how buy store beets and pease
Ihave to shout: "Great Scottl

4 Tragic Leaf from the Experience of a
Country Doctor.
A countrydoctor's life is not overlaid with
HLier down nor eternally sprinkled with
resi- rose leaves, says the Pittsburgh Dis
Jgteh.
a few weeks ago DIR. Blank was sum
loned at midnight to a house that stands
ONE distance from any other, in a rural
strict near this city. A stable hand had
zen kicked by a horse and lay in a critical
1ndition. The doctor flung on his clothes,
lmped into a buggy and drove as fast as he
ould through a rain-storm over heavy
Dads to the house where the injured man
ay. He had never been to the house
1otore, but he had heard of its owners
production for savage dogs, and he was
lot surprised therefore when he drove UP
o the door to hear baying and barking in
several keys within the house.
After considerable knocking a woman
came to the door and opened it about an
-nch to inform the doctor that he'd have to
pc very careful about entering, for she
could hardly keep back the dogs.
The doctor is a plucky man, and he re-
sisted the strong desire he felt to get back
into his buggy. The door was opened
enough for him to slide through, and he en-
tered a dimly-lighted hall. In front of him
were arrayed two large mastiffs, a bulldog
and a greyhound, and between him and
hem stood the woman who had let him in.
SHE was the housekeeper, and she carried
IN one hand a lamp and in the other a thick
cudgel.
As he entered the hall all the dogs
plunged for him simultaneously, but the
~housekeeper laid about her with the club
and the animals retreated, bowling savage
". he went upstairs at once to the room
where his patient lay, and the housekeeper
fought with the dogs all the way up, but
succeeded in protecting the doctor.
Coming down afterward, the ~housekeeper
had the same difficulty with the dogs, and,
as the doctor sprang into the carriage, the
bulldog made a rush for him and planted
his teeth in the Doctors trousers. The
garments were luckily of cheap and poor
material, and the leg which was in the dogs
mouth gave way.
The doctor was glad to get of so cheaply,
and the bulldog, he thinks, was disguised
at his investment in an inferior grade of
cloth. %
And the best Of it is that the operation he
performed at the risk of being torn to pieces
by a pack of hounds will never bring a cent
to the doctor. The misery owner of the
dogs simply declines to pay, though the doc
tor was called by his orders.

The revolt of the Hawaiian revo-

defeat and the surrender of Queen
L%iluokalani. A Honolulu dispatch of
Jan. 80 says: Queen Liluokalani has
abdicated in favor of the republic.
This is by far the most important out
come of the late rebellion. The docu-
ment was drawn up by A. s. Hatwell
at the request of the late ex-queen. 1t
was presented on the Goth inst. to Pres
ident Dole. The document, according
to the wording, was executed freely
and voluntarily. The queen made a
plea for the Hawaiians and others
who took part in the rebellion. She
expressed adesire to live in absolute
privacy henceforth. The queens alb
diction was not unexpected. In many
quarters 1t is looked upon as a ruse to
secure clemency when she appears be-

In her house were found arms and am

showed that she was certain of restor-

date on which martial law was pro-
claimed should be tried. before a civil
court and jury.
