rests Of a nInaoo ldrrler.

Most extraordinary is the expertness
Of Hindoo jugglers and acrobats One
who moves about perched upon a single
long stick is the latest novelty. This
performer is mounted on a bamboo pole
about fifteen feet high. the top OF
which Is tied to a girdle worn round
his waist. A small cushion is fastened
a few feet down the pole, which acts
as a leg rest. The acrobat hops around
q large space IN the liyeliest way. utter
ing cheerful shouts and accompanied by
the tapping OF a curious drum. lie al
so executes sort OF dance. and goes
through a little pantomime, II Is a
marvellous feat OF equilibrium. To walk
on pair OF stilts as high as this would
be performance worthy Of exhibition
on our variety stage But to hop
around on one is quite another Thing.
The same man can do many other
wonderful things He appears abso-
lutely perfect In the art OF balancing.
He can balance a very light stick on
his nose and another one on his
chin When balancing these two
sticks. end ON end, he will
make one revolve in one direction and
the other in the other. He puts one
hand on fiat, circular stone. throws
his feet up into the air. and balances
stick on each OF them. Al the same
time ne reyolves rapidly on the pivot
formed by his arm and the stone.

rBE DEADLY CUSHIONED CAR SEAT.
Kansas City Times Again to a pub.
lie lulled into fancied security comes
warning from the unsleeping scientist.
This time it Is the padded back OF the
railway car, whose unseen danger t.
the human race is exposed TO the
naked eye. A correspondent Of the
New York Herald thus arraigns them:
Heating the spine, as they do,
brings about hypescmic condition OF
the cord and great sympathetic nerve,
which causes headache, nausea and
extreme nervous postrstion in many
cases"
The truth OF this somewhat sur
prising assertion is not fully realized
until one remembers how many people
have died in the very act Of sitting or
living on cushioned chairs. Many have
survived the ordeal, il is true, but not
all II these can sincerely say that after
riding In palace car they have not
sometimes experienced a "hyperg mic
condition. Of the sympathetic nerve. y
On the contrary, man who under
takes a long palace car journey with
only 80 cents in his purse is recklessly
inviting an attack OF nervous prostrs-
tion.
Fortunately, the deadly possibilities
OF the luxuriously padded car seats are
min:mized by bountiful nature. In
fact, millions OF our citizens are in nc
more appreciable danger from this
disease than from those ailments
which comes from excessive consump-
tion Of foreign wines. Such immunity
is vouchsafed for those who ride un
ostentatiously in the smoking car nc
less than those hardy individuals who
cling tenaciously to the car trucks oil
perform their voyages quietly OF
healthful freight trains, abandoning
cheerfully the sybaritic existence o.
the rolling palaces for the sweet sim
pie pleasures OF communion with the
bovine and porcine travellers.
Putting cushioned car seats unde
the ban, however, is not enough. Th'
next step is to abolish cushioned
chsirs and soft beds. Thus only cal
the deadly danger be wholly elimina

e rough ground or on hard woodel
I benches with a stone or perehance
TIN cup for y pillow has the advantag
/, OF generating a wholesome contemp
for death.
