Home Magic.

An astonishing experiment in parlor
physics may be performed with no APP
paratus other than a piece of string
six feet long. A persons hands being
held over his ears. this string is passed
around his head by another person,
who holds both ends in one hand. and
by drawing the fingers or nails of the
other hand over the cord, produces
upon the tympanum of the subject i'm
pressions of almost startling intensity.
Sharp peals of thunder, changing into
distant and prolonged rumhling, are eff
fects that may readily be given.
AS tortoise shell combs are always
prone to break easily, many may find
this hint useful one. First slope the
margins of the broken pieces for the
distance of about a quarter of an inch
from the edge, then overlap these mar
gins and when thus arranged. clamp
them together with a strong letter
clip, and immerse the comb in boiling
water for some time. AS the horn
softens, it unites. After it is thorough
ly dry, the place where the break had
been will be almost invisible.

COCK FIGHTING IN PORTO RICO.

Fred Durham, company F, Nine
teerth United States infantry. now sta
toned at Ponce, Porto Rico. has writ
ten letter to a friend in United
States, giving his impressions Of our
new island. the gambling spirit which
prevails there and the native fondness
for cock fighting and similar sports.
He says:
Porto Rico. in common with other
countries, has her peculiar passions,
amusements and pastimes. Gambling
runs in the blood. and is not a statutory
onense. except as regards the celebrat-
ed game Of monte and is not regard
ed as vice that may lead to ruin.
They pursue their games, both men
and women. amid much dispute. ami
mated by undying hope. The stakes
are small but interesting. The loss of
a dollar demands veritable grafton in
explanation. There are other pastimes,
however. that in a sense are national
passions. Sundays exist only in the
almanacs and in the churches. With
the majority of the people it is more
/ like the Fourth of July. To be sure,
since the island was put under martial
law, no business is allowed TO be trans
acted on this day. but 1t Is a holiday
for pleasure, and always will be for the
natives.
This is the day Of cock lighting.
Admission is paid at the entrance, and
on going in one sees an amphitheater

latto and black. all in clean attire and

ings of the gamblers soul more fully
| exposed than in the features of the
spectators. AS there are preliminaries
TO all battles. these combats are no
exception, but are often protracted to
annoying extent. Yet the sight of the
birds seems to rouse the latent pas
sion in each bosom and the place fills
with tumultuous cries. Bets are freely
offered on all sides, a shake of the
finger from one opposite and the bet
Is accepted without a word being ex-
changed. The bets are taken amid a
veritable pandemonium of sounds, the
birds are pitted and all but their own
ers retire from the enclosure. The
birds commence fighting as soon as
they are placed on the ground and the
now silent crowd with outstretched
necks gaze intently upon them. Not a
sound is heard but the blows given by
the wings of the birds, but a lucky
cash from the spur of one sets all
voices again going and odds are freely
asked and taken.
THE bets are paid without the slight
est reluctance, for to repudiate a gam
bling debt would destroy the reputa-
ton of the lowest negro"
