A Maaician,s Hands.

Hermann was Il born magician. Hen
only mystided and entertained by the as
tonishing dexterity with which he exc
cuted his remarkable feats, but charmed
his audiences by his graceful manner ana
the singular magnetism of his personality.
Not only was he magician, but CO.
median of high order. His success lay
largely in the perfection of his skill as q
manipulation His hands were trained TO
a marvellous state of responsiveness, ana
he was primarily a juggler, deceiving the
eye by diverting attention from the move
ments that might reveal the mystery
while he performed almost Impossible
feats with the hands and fingers. 1t was
in the mastery of this simple work that
his strength as performer lay, although
he elaborated them with paraphernalla
and stage effects. He was continually elab-
Grating old tricks with new adaptations.
Herrmannss ability to handle cards was
wonderful. Not only was he master OF the
ordinary tricks of causing cards To dlsap-
neor and reappear, 20 find packs concealed
beneath vests, under hatbands, but he
could distribute an entire deck OF OF CARDS
all over a theator This lie did With such
marvellous accuracy in Boston In 1856 OF
1897 that n spiritualistic society mace th'
feat a subject of discussion, ana Hermann
was made an honorary sember wlthou
his knowledge or consent. What he di'
was to throw from between thumb ant
forefineer card and cause it to lana OF
the rail of the top gallery. Inc seconI
card would fall within few feet oil IL
and the third within few feet OF that
and so ON throughout the house uhtll th'
entire pack had been distributed. IL wa
claimed by the Sprtuallsts that thls cou ai'
not nossihlv have been accomplished with
ont supernatural aid. By long practic
Hermann was able to tear deck OF d
cards longitudinally in half, as straight a
though cut with knife. He would tax
these rectangular halves and divide then
again into strips, using only his thuinp
and forehngers TO do the work.-Spring

If the blossoming of the female "bud"

thousand outside merchants in the city
as a result of the announcements and
special railroad rates of the association.
They were at the homes of friends, and

TEMPLE OF HEROO.
Interesting Relic In the Museum Oh An

In the interesting Museum of Antiqui-
ties at Constantinople the object that
struck me most was hoary, battered tab

house, not far from the mosque OF Omar
ON what might have been the site OF The
temple of Herod.
This Is one of the very few relics OF thai
magnificent structure which have survived
! to our day. The inscription is In capita

| thus: NO stranger can enter within th
balustrade round the sanctuary and In
closures. Whoever is caught will DO re

was an deliberately carved stone balustrate,

pillar in front of it, bearing an inscription
in Greek and Latin, forbiddtng any lor-
eigner to enter the Enclosure on pain OF
death. Josephus mentions that the 40
mans respected this law, and no gentile
over ventured to intrude beyond thispoint
The prohibition in question, however,
was long regarded as apocryphal, even al,
though Phlo spoke of the inscription ana
corroborated the statement of the jewish
historian. But the discovery of Clernont

pute. The tablet which he found was part
of one of the columns guarding the inner

Mines of Mammoth Bones.

At some time in the distant past a re-
markable state OF affairs existed in what
are now the bleak arctic regions of siberia.
At the time of which we speak, the climate
must have been comparatively mild, Tor
thousands and hundreds of thousands oil
hinge animals, mostly of the elephant type,
roamed up and down the valleys OF what are
now frozen polar rivers. In the midst Oh
their innocent happiness sudden ana
awful change came. Some philosophers
sav that the earth "fell out OF balance
and tilted thousands of miles to the north.
Whatever the cause, fierce winter almost

IL was a dark, dripping evening, and
the thick osler bed on Chswick eyot was
covered with wet leaf Between and 8
o'clock immense flights of swallows and
martins suddenly appeared above the is
iand, arriving, not in hundreds, but in
thousands and tens Of thousands.
The air was thick with them, and their
numbers increased from minute To min

thousands kept sweeping just over the
tops Of the willows, skimming SO thickly
that the sky line was almost blotted out
Tor the height Of from three to four feet
The quarter from which these armies OF
swallows came was at first undisooyerable.
They might have been Matched, like gnats,
from the river.
In time discovered whence they came.
They were literally dropping from the
sky The 1ucks were travelling at a
height at which they were quite invisible
In the cloudy air, and from minute to

and SO perpendiculHrly to the very surface
Of the river OF Of the eyut.
One Of the llocks dropped TO tho lawn

Soon the high flying crowds of birds
drew down and swept for few minutes

The Cocoanut.

The cocoanut tree is the most useful OF
nj, nlants in the tropical region. Its seed
furnishes food and an intoxicating drink.
The she'll gives drinking cups and vessels
AMI hard material, capable of high pol
ish from which personal ornaments may
he manufactured. Tho trunk furnishes
','ood for dwellings and boats. The leaves
make clothing, cordage and ropes. The
abers Of the bark and of the nut afford
mating matt and carpets. The buds furnish a
sncculent vegetable, and from the trunk a
nSlotabie liquor is drawn by making an
incision.
