BEwlTcHED BY A JUGGLER.
Tricks of the Magic Art as Practiced
In India. 3E,.,t ise


A correspondent of Scottish Nights,
writing from India regarding the theo-
ry that the jugglers perform their tricks
by twill power" says: During the
course of the Indian mutiny made the
acquaintance of one of these gentlemen
of India, who tried to instruct me how
to perform these tricks. He said 1t
was all imaginary on the part of the
spectators, as he simply willed that
they should see these things. The most
exciting performance that he gave for
my amusement was the converting CT
bamboo stick into native servant,
who waited at table and supplied our
wants. Afterward-in his absence
tried it on and to my surprise the same
lions. l directed him to fill the chat
ties in the veranda with water from
the we'll in the compound. This he
proceeded to do. When he had filled
them all to cverdowing requested him
to stop. He, however, took no notice
OF me and went on stolidly bringing
in the water, until, in my excited inn
aglnation, it seemed that the bunga-
low would be washed away. Finding
That could not arrest or stop his
movements, he passing through me as
though did not exist,I drew my sword
and lay in wait for him. Making
slash, l apparently cut him in twain,
when, 10! there were two men bringing
IN the water. neither of whom I could
restrain or prevent from doing so. I
was completely out of my depth, when
heard quiet laugh behind me, and
on turning found it was my instruct
or, who held up his right hand and the
two men disappeared, the stick resum-
ing it's place in the veranda, and, to
crown all, there was not the slightest
sign of any water having been brought
IN. excite6ly appealed to him for
an explanation. He said that he had
been present all the time, having willed
that he should be invisible to me, and
that l should imagine myself to see and
do what I thought had taken place. IN
order to prove it, he asked me to step
out into the compound and directed
my attention to huge cavern, which
l knew was not there before. AS I
entered a number of huge elephants
and camels issued from it in contin-
uous stream, yet ccUin rat touch one
of them. They apparently passed over
me as though I did net exist. He
again raised his hand ard the cavern
and animals disappeared and there was
no induction of an exodus of any kind"

PLAYING. A FUNNY GAME,
Why the Lambs Are Always Fleeced on

Why the Lambs Are Always Fleeced on
the Stock Exchange.
The use of chips and counters is a
great convenience in such games as
poker, faro and the like, says the
Arena. The business, so called, of the
stock exchange in Wall street and else
where is carried on by the use of tok-
ems or bits Of paper designated as
bonds and stock certificates, which are
supposed to entitle the holders of them
to certain dividends to be declared by
managers of railway and other corpor-
atoms, or to certain interest INSTALL
ments payable at stated times. The
croupier at faro guarantees prompt
payment in cash to the chip holders at
the end of the game. The seller of
stocks and bonds in the game in 1.-The
street" guarantees nothing except the
title and the genuineness of the chips.
The purchaser buys under the rule
caveat emptor as to price and value.
The value of his purchase depends up
on the volume of railway traffic, trans
portation rates, the state of the money
market, the ability, the honesty or dis
honesty of corporation managers, the
manner in which corporation reports
and accounts are made and kept,
whether these reports and accounts are
fair or cooked" whether the officers
wear smoked glasses" and the like.
Now, it is plain that the so-called
lambs" are at disadvantage in this
business, or game. In faro the
"splits" give the dealer a small per-
centage CT advantage. but this the
player understands and may calculate
on; the contingencies and rascalities in
the stock-dealng game, however. are
tncalculable.

FOUGHT A BIG EAGLE.
Man and Dog No Match for the King
of Birds.

man ana Dog NO Match Tor the King
of Birds.
Taylor Hoffman of Jersey City came
down to the pine woods Of Atlantic
county on a cunning expedition a few
days ago, says the Philadelphia Record.
He has had tolerably good luck, but
ran plump into an experience on the
trip which paid him for all the time
spent in looking for game. Hoffman
had put in hard day of tramping and
by the end of the afternoon was pretty
we'll tagged out, as was his dog. The
weather was warm and the shade Of
the woods grateful, so Hoffman stretch
ed himself out beneath a tree for
good rest. His dog dropped down close
to him. Hoffman fell into a doze, but
was soon awakened by fierce COM,
motion, in which canine bowls were
uppermost. AS he jumped up he be-
held his dog in fierce combat with an
immense bald eagle, and the beast was
getting the worst of it. Hoffman was
afraid to fire his gun, because of the
chances of killing his dog, so he got
club and sailed in. The bird of free.
dom quickly turned upon it's new foe
and fought as only eagles can fight.
Hoffman found himself in a sorry pre-
diCament, for he was no match for the
big bird. So close was the fighting
that he could not use the club to ad-
vantage, and the eagle had the sagac-
ity to fly high enough to escape the
dog, all the while using its great, ug-
ly talons and beak with fierce strength.
At length Hoffman fell exhausted and
his dog, with renewed strength, re-
turned to the encounter. Weakened
by the contest, the eagle took itself
off and disappeared. Hoffman was cut
and bruised in many places, but was
not seriously injured.
