At last Grace church, with its clean
light stone, is reached and the green
grass and shrubbery in front of the
interesting looking Gothic rectory. A
short distance below the bend all the
stores were wholesale. Now they are
becoming solidly retail. Instead of
buyers the people along the street are
mostly shoppers. Down there were
very few women; up here are very few
men.
This is especially noticeable when
Union square is. reached. with cable
cars changing around Dead Mans
curve, in front of Lafayette's statue.
Here, down Fourteenth street, may be
seen shops and shoppers of the most
virulent type; windows which draw
women's heads around whether they
want to look or not, causing them to
run you down and making them deaf
to your apologies for it; big dry goods
stores and small millinery shops, gen.
eral stores and department stores and
the places where the sidewalks are
crowded with what is known to the
trade as Louis Fourteenth street fur
niture." All this accounts for there
being more restaurants now and diff
ferent smells and another feeling in
the air.-Scribner's.

D Trick mt Cards That Puzzled Thos,
Who Witnessed 1t.


D Trick Mt Cards That PuzzIed Those
Who Witnessed 1t.
II saw man do trick with cards
once" said Godfrey Ashton of Atlanta,
which, although he assured me was
wholly a trick and that there was no
second sight or mind reading connect
ed with it, has always rested in an
unexplained condition in my mind.
There were four of us at supper,
and the man In question sent for q
pack of cards, and, handing them to
the man next him, told him to select q
card In his mind; not to take 1t from
the pack. but to tell the other two
men what card it was He was then to
shuttle the pack and pass 1t to the
other two men, who were each to
thoroughly shuttle 1t. Fhe last man
was then to place 1t on the floor.
''In the meantime a large napkin
had been tightly bound over the magi-
clans eyes and his dress coat hung over
his face with the sails tied under his
chin, so that his head was to all In
tents and purposes In bag. He, by
his direction. was led to the pack Of
cards and his hand placed upon it. He
then proceeded to scatter the cards
about until they covered a rough cir
Gle of three or four feet in diameter.
He called for knife. and, bringing 1t
sharply down. drove it through and
affixed one of the scattered cards. Re
moving his headgear, he asked what
card my friend had chosen. The an
swer being the ten of diamonds, he
turned the knife toward US, and there,
sure enough. was the ten Of diamonds
transfixed upon the point.
He swore 1t was a trick, but for
the life of me cannot see how it was
done. None of us was in collision with
him. | am sure the cards were not a
fake pack, and | am equally certain
that he was so blindfoIded that 1t was
wholly impossible for him to see. Yet
he accomplished it exactly as ! tell
you."--New. York Tribune.
