A Japanese Sword Trick

"I had a little party Of Jap jugglers
on the road in '91," said an e1-theatr1-
cal manager, "and got on to good
many Of their tricks. Most Of them
were surprisingly simple in reality,
and one that I don't remember ever
having seen explained was the feat Of
walking bare-footed up ladder Of
sharp swords. The swords were Of the
native straight-bladed shape and were
so keen that they would easily slice a
handkerchief in two In mid-air. Before
sticking them through the uprghts to
form the ladder the head Jap always
passed his thumb along the edge Of
each, from tip to tip. AS he did so he
drew out narrow steel tape, which
was coiled on spring in the handle.
The tape had a hole in the end, which
caught on the point and held it IL
place, and it completely. shielded the
edge. After the walking was over it
was quietly released, as the swords
were being taken out. and few up into
the handle again. The weapon could
then be passed around for inspection.
Most people supposed that the Jap used
some chemical to tougher his soles, but
the truth was as I have stated"

Kerosene for Poultry.

mant, advocates the use of kerosene in
the poultry yard. The following article
will, perhaps, be interesting to poultry
breeders: The many uses that kerosene
can be put to in the poultry yard makes
it an almost indispensable article to be
charged TO the expense account; ard no
article will enhance the profit of the
poultry yards as kerosene diligently and
intelligently used for painting the in
side of gest boxes; for setting hens there
is nothing equal toit as it kills all YER
min and prevents other vernin from en-
tering the Fest until it is thoroughly

used, will give the hen ample time to
hatch her brood A few drops in the

a New York Incident.

Every Southern gentleman offers his
seat to a lady on street car, and the
man in good health who would not do
so would rank in this section as a
coarse, unmanly fellow. This is not
the case in the great cities, however,
where mans inhumanlty to woman
makes even many a weary mother with
an infint in her arms suffer These
men are utterly Indifferent and careless
Of old age and motherhood. 1t appears
to be such very unusal thing for acts
Of courtesy to be shown in the street
cars in our great metropolis that the
New York Hearld Of the Sth seems to
consider the following incident, which
it relates, as piece Of rare news: Last
Tuesday party Of six members Of
the Washington Light Infantry from
Charleston, s. c., visited Brooklyn.
Sergt. Pierce Salley was the rank
ing man They were in Gate
Avenue Car. In one corner sat a
slim man with kindly face and a
pair Of rather fierce looking mus
tachios. Every seat was taken. \
lady entered at the corner Of Flatbush
Avenue. Every one of the rebel
soldier boys stood up and looked at the
sergeant. Salley pulled off his cap and
started, presumably to offer the lady
his seat by virtue Of his rank, but his
eye fell on the man with the mustach-
los, and he replaced his cap. From the
corner Of the car this kindly faced gen.
tleman arose and went to the lady, say
ing, Madam, will you be SO very kind
p" He ranked Sergt. Salley, for he
was Governor McSweeney, Governor Of
the once almost sovereign State Of
South Carolina, the Governor whom
tradition nd aan old story makes the
opinion that it is always long time
between drinks, but who, by virtue OF
his office, had the delightful privilege
of giving his seat to a lady, while a
half dozen sturdy soldier boys had to
be content to remain seated.

in the Republican vote there this fall
will cast reflection upon President Nc
Kinley, and will be taken up by the

Mr.. Hanna appeal cannot be construed
in any other light than as showing Re

Leaders of Men,

Lord Wolseley, Commander in-Chie4
of the English army, whose rating Of
Lee as the greatest commander of the
civil war made some admirers Of Grant
unhappy, has continued his studies Of
the war with an essay on Stonewal
Jackson, of whom he speaks with al,
most equal enthusiasm. Few men, he
concludes, have been more fitted by
natural instincts, by study and by self
discipline to become leaders OF men.

be so. We express no opinion as
