INDIAN MAGIC.
Il Il Often Beyond the Power OF the
Wisest To Explain 1t.


One need not 60 TO the realms of
space, or time, or figures to meet with
the incomprehensibl Despite modern
science and ingenuity this word still re-
mains the only applicable epithet for
some Of the achievements of Indian con.
Jurers. We can smile at the luminous
appearance of the beautiful face before
which as the revelation Of Osiris the
old Egyptians Frustrated themselves in
awe-for the marvels of the magic Ian
tern are familiar to US, the early exist
ence Of gunpowder gives an easy ex-
PLANTATION of the oracles lightning and
thunder, the weird harmony of Mem
uon was merely the result Of an in
genious mechanical CONFERENCE.-The
shrewd travellers of later date, whose
veracity is beyond dispute, tell of
much more inexplioable things than
these. One of the best known writers
OH occultism, Jacolliot, has left an ac-
count of certain things he saw during
his official sojourn i'll India which, as
they seem to defy explanation, may
fairly be classed among things incom-
prehensible. The performer was one
whom he accidentally met and who re-
Quired some persuasion before he would
exhibit feats which, he continually af-
firmed, were the work of other intelli
gences.
On some sticks fixed upright in flow
erpots were placed some leaves from a
tree, with holes in each sufficiently
large to make them fall to the level of
the mold. Standing at considerable
distance, the fakir made gesture with
his hands. A slight breeze seemed to
pervade the room, then the leaves quiv-
cred and gradually worked upward on
the sticks. Jacolliot placed himself be-
tween the fowerpots and the operator,
placed the sticks in the flooring and
adopted every means he could imagine
to Illustrate any trickery, but nothing
he did made any difference to the move
ment of the leaves.
The more familiar feat of the SEEM
ingly supernatural growth of flowers
was utterly eclipsed by another instance
vouched for by the same narrator. His
own servant brought him a score or so
of seeds, from which he selected and
marked one. The fakir planted it in a
pot of earth, muttered some words over
it and fell into sort of trance, which
lasted about 30 minutes He then
awoke, uncovered the pot and discover
ed Seeding two or three inches high.
Jacolliot examined it and found it bad
sprung from the seed which he had
marked.
With touch of peacock's feather
the fakir depressed balance of a COM
mon weighing machine in daily use in
the household, though in the other was
"a weight of IL stone, and with dis.
tant motion of his hand he made shaw
ings of wood to sink or move in water.
Still more marvellous is the description
Of the manner in which this veritablt
eastern wizard was able to set at de-
fiance the law of gravity. On this occa
sion, when leaving the room, he paused
on the threshold, folded his arms, and
by simple act of volition, raised him

TURGENEFF ABHORS SPORT
How N Dying Pheasant Influenced His
Whole Career.

How n Dying Pheasant Influenced His
Whole Career.
The celebrated Russian novelist, Tur
geneff, tells most touching incident
from his own life, which awakened in
him sentiments that have oolored ali
his writings with deep and tender
feeling.
When Turgeneff was hoy Of 10,
his father took him out one day bird
shooting. AS they tramped across the
brown stubble golden pheasant rose
with low whir from the ground at his
feet, and with the JOY of sportsman
throbbing his veins he raised his gun
and fired, wild with excitement, when
the creature fell futtering at his side.
Life was ebbing fast, but the instinct
of the mother was stronger than death
itself, and with a feeble flutter of her
wings the mother bird reached the nest
where her young brood were huddled,
unconscious of danger. Then, with such
a look of pleading and reproach that
his heart stood still at the ruin he had
wrought, and never to his dying day
did he forget the feeling Of cruelty and
guilt that came to him in that moment,
the little brown head toppled over, and
only the dead body of the mother shield
ed her nestlings.
Father, father" he cried, what
have / done:" as he turned his horror
stricken face to his father. But not to
his fathers eye had this little tragedy
been enacted, and he said: "Well done,
my son. That was we'll done for your
first shot. You will soon be a fine sports
man"
"Never, father, never again shall l
destroy any living creature. If that is
sport, will have none of it. Life is
more beautiful to me than death. and

it. ATLANTA Constitution.
