WIZARD with the Mhin.

An Austro- Hungarian, named Pisks-
tug, mas created a sensation in Vienna
by his wonderful performances with a
whip-some of which are described by
the London Tit-Bits:
1.-The first thing he does is to take a
iong-lashed, stout-handled whip in each
hand, and, with orchestral accompani-
ment, proceed to crack or snap them a t
terrific rate. The sound made by his
whips in this manner is graduated from
noise like rifle report to the soft
click of billiard ball. 1t makes a curl.
Gus sort of music, and serves to show
how he can regulate the force of each
stroke
More interest is evinced when he
seizes looking whip with an
abnormally long lash. 1t is provided
with very heavy handle OF medium
length. This Is his favorite toy, and
what he can do with it is really wonder.
full. He first gives an idea of what fear.
full force may lie in a whip-lash in the
hands of an expert.
"A large frame, over which is stretch.
ed a calf or sheep skin, is brought on
the stage. This is marked with dots
of red paint. The man with the whip
steps up, and swinging the lash round
his head lets fly at the calfskin. With
every blow he actually pulls piece out
of the leather, leaving clean-cut hole.
These pieces are distributed among
the audience to show that there is no
trickery about the performance. After
this he takes frame with three
shelves. On these there are dozen or
more Of medium-sized apples lying very
close together and provided with large
numbers. Any one in the audience may
designate which apple he wishes struck,
and the unerring lash snatches it out
like flash.
"A still more difficult feat Is the SNAP.
ping of coins from narrow-necked bot
tie. A piece of silver about the size of
half-crown is put over the cork of the
bottle, which stands on the edge of a
table. The whip artist. without appear.
ing to take any sort of aim, sends the
long lash whizzing through the air and
picks off the coin without jarring the
bottle, much less breaking it,"

Question OF Luck.

81 hate to hear people say there's
no such thing as luck" remarked the
melancholy Mr.. Doollttle.
81 don't see Why" his wife re-
joined.
"Because it isn't true" he returned
with asperlty. "a man can go on
trying and trying and never get along.
And some other person will go ahead
and tumble into good things without
making any eff1rt whatever.
"Hiram, no great man has succeeded
without hard work. -
"That's the kind of talk you always
hear. But nine times out of ten it is
all owing to the opportunity that pre-.
sented ITSELF Fortune just seems to
lie in wait to kidnap some men. Look
at Sir Isaac Newton. His name is
handed down from generation to
generation. And why? Simply be-
cause he was sitting unser a tree and
an apple happened to drop on him.
You can't pretend that a man is in a
position TO claim superior merit
simply because, through no action or
preference of his own, he gets hit IN
the head with an apple, can you?"
"No, Hiram"
''Then don't tell me about there not
being any such thing as luck"
''It seems to me that you've chosen
q poor example in support of your
argument. The case of Isaac Newton
goes to show that the difference Is in
the people. If it had been some men
that know of instead of Newton, the
first thingsthey would have done after
the apple fell would have been to go
into the house and moan for the arnica
bottle; then they would have spent
two or three hours of precious time
talking about their bad luck. Chi.

Commercial Travellers Home

The commercial travellers are great
people. Not appreciated the Importance
of their labors is to acknowledge ones
ignorance of the methods of trade
They are the most intrepid nomads
that are left on the earth. They live in
sleeping-c cars and hotels, brave the per-
lis of the rail, the lunch counter, and
the hotel bed; live single or apart from
their families, endure all weathers and
any company that offers-and all that
the affinity between good goods and
solvent buyers may be discerned and
triumph. The attention paid to them
during the late campaign attested their
Importance in the community. Great
pains We're taken, especially in Chi
cago, to equip them with sound fiscal
and political sentiments, so that they
might scatter good seed wherever they
went. Their national organization is
building home at Binghamton, n. V,
for worthy INDECENT commercial trav-
elers and their dependent families. 1t
is to complete this building that the
Commercial Travellers Fair is being
held in the Madison Square Garden
1t began on the 18th and closes on the
2Sth, and through it the travellers
aspire to raise S150.000. 1t is great
fair. full of novel shows and managed
by people of enterprise No doubt it
will meet with the success that it de-
serves.-Harper's Weekly.
