One Explanation of the Wonderful
Tricks Seen in India.
A correspondent writing from india
regarding the theory that the jugglers
perform their tricks by will power"
says: During the course Of the In
dian mutiny l made the acquaintance
Of one of these gentlemen of India, who
tried to instruct me how to perform
these tricks. He said 1t was all imag-
he simply willed that they should see
those things. Yet l, in common with
western nations, was too animaliZed,
sensual and materialized by hesh-eat-
ing and consumption of alcohol to re-
tain or accept any deep spiritual teach

The most exciting performance that
be gave for my amusement was the
converting Of a bamboo stick into a ma
tive servant. Afterward-in his alb
sence-I tried 1t on and to my surprise
the same man was before me asking
for instructions. | directed him to fill
the chatties on the veranda with water
from the well in the compound. This

them all to overfiowing 1 requested him
to stop. He, however, took no notice
Of me and went on stolidly bringing In
the water, until, in my excited imagina-
ton, it seemed that the bungalow
would be washed away. Finding that

lay in wait for him. Making a slash l
apparently cut him In twain, when, 10!
there were two men bringing in the
water, neither of whom could restrain
Or prevent from doing so.
II was completely out of my depth,
when l heard quiet laugh behind me,
and on turning l found 1t was my in
structor. who held up his right hand
and the two men disappeared, the stick
resuming its place on the veranda, and,
to crown all, there was not the slight
est sign Of any water having been
brought in. 1 excitedly appealed to him
for an explanation. He said that he
had been present all the time, having
willed that he should be invisible to me
and that should imagine myself to
see and do what thought had taken
place. In order to prove 1t he asked me
to step out into the compound and d.

Where beautiful maids enchanted dwell
And giants keep lock and bar!
But, strange to say, in his bOldest flight,
Though he halted or rested not
Through all his travels i,y day or
night
He has stood in the self-ssme spot!
He was ridden far, he was ridden hard;
He has borne fierce taunts and blows,
And Oft has felt, as sweet reward,
A kiss on his worn-out nose.
And though he is rather the worse for
wear.
And is crippled and Scared and old,
In the eyes Of his master he still is fair
And worth all his weight in gold.

islands OF the coast Of Florida have

are being fitted out to search for ami.

the bell for the footman, whose duty
1t was to perform this office and who

rebuke the young man for his want Of

were kept. Having filed the scuttle,
his majesty carried 1t to the library
with his own hands. Then, handing
the scuttle to his page, he said: II am

Girl Life In Pao-Ting-Fu

Among the missionaries Of the Amer.
can board at Pao-Ting-Fu, China, is
Miss Mary s. Morrill,, a teacher in the
girls school there. In a recent letter,
published in the New York Tribune. she
gives the following Interesting account
of a day in a Chinese girls school life:
"The first bell rings at 6:15 o'clock, and
at once the work of the morning toilet
begins. The girls dress alike, baggy
trousers, which are fastened at the
tnkle by a strong ribbon, and sack
that reaches nearly to the knees The
latter has five buttons, one at the
throat, one on the right shoulder and
three under the arm.
"One Of the girls always sees that the
water in the bathroom is warmed for
The morning face washing, because a
Chinese would shiver with astonish-
nent were she expected, even in sum-
ner, to make her toilet with cold water.
Breakfast frequently consists Of corn
meal cakes. cabbage stew and the re-

onions. Sweet potatoes and turnips,
fresh and salted, make a variety in the

If pOrridge made Of cornmeal, millet or
rice. Beans are often mixed with the
millet and rice.
The girls do their own laundering.
instead Of being ironed. the clothes are
folded smoothly while damp and laid
upon a stone slab and pounded vigor-
ously with wooden pestles.
For recreation there are swings,
Jumping ropes and jackstones, and the
girls enjoy weaving articles out of corn
stalks. The retiring bell rings at $50
o'clock. The crusade against foot
binding has been waged with success
ut PaO-Ting-Fu."
