AN OPTICAL ILLUSION,
One Of the Tricks Performed b. the
Fakirs. of India.

One Of the Tricks Performed b. the
Fakirs. Of India.
The fakirs of India perform some re-
markable tricks. The following one
was witnessed bytan Englishman who
was himself an excellent prestidigi-
tateur:
The apartment lbeing filled, the ma
gicians began their performance. The
audience sat on the floor about the
fakirs, SO that they had no way of con-
fealing themselves or Of hiding any
thing. At their request l examined
them and satisfied myself that they
had nothing about them. Then one of
the women stepped into the Enclosure,
the rest remaining behind the spec.
tatUrs, who formed a close ring about
them. The light was now turned down
a little, and in a moment the woman's
face began to be Illuminated by
ghostly light that extended quickly
| over her entire body.
She then began to move around and
around, uttering low, murmuring
sound the while, gradually quickening
the pace until she was whirling about
like a top. A moment Of this, and the
light that had chung about her seemed
to be whirled off by centrifugal force
and assumed pillarlike form beside
her. AS soon as this was accomplish
ed she stopped, turned and began to
mold the light with her hand, and,
though could distinctly see her hands
move through the light as II it were a
cloud, it began to assume human form.
We saw the arms, hands and legs oil
nodded and finally the face and head
gear. She next called for light, and,
the candles being relighted, there stood
an utter stranger, a native seemingly,
levolved out Of cloudland. He stepped
forward and grasped me by the hand.
His hands were moist, as II with per-
spiration, and he was very healthy
spirit.
After he had talked and drunk a
glass of arrack he took his place beside
the woman again and began to whirl
about. The lights were dimmed, but
not SO that we could not see, and In q
few minutes the figure began to fade
soon assuming the appearance Of q
pillar or form Of light and then attach
ing itself to the woman and seemingly
being absorbed by her. All this was
done in very short space Of time be
fore the eyes of at least so people ani
not ten feet from myself. The girl ap
peared greatly exhausted afterward.

Pursuing an Elephant.

Any one who has once followed q
travelling elephant will not show any
undue haste to repeat the amusement.
They sail along at an average pace Of
six miles an hour, regardless Of the
country, and stop for bath or short
siesta perhaps once every three days.
Anything more exasperating than fol-
lowing very fresh spoor at dog trot
hour after hour In a blazing sun. only
to find at late hour In the afternoon
that one was 40 miles from camp. with
no food or water. and that the ele-
plant had increased his lead from one
mile to ten. It would be difficult to
imagine.-Everybody's Magazine.

it was understood as applying to con-

white brothers their beliefs were
sacred things not to be effaced by whip
or scOurge or prison bars.
Through injustice and persecution
it thrived and grew until today it is
the prevailing religion of the Puget
Sound Indians. They have built
churches and formulated a uniform
service and have a regular member
ship based on conversion and confess
sion of faith. Missionaries still keep
their names on church rolls, and try
to win them back to attendance of
UNCONVENTIONAL service but vainly: it
takes special effort and special invita-
lions to induce Shakers to partake of
the Sacrement at communion services
or to attend service. They avail
themselves of the services of mission
aries for baptism of their children
gladly, and look to them to perform
marriage services but reSolutely stand
for their rights as Shakers separate
from other churches. Their services
partake largely of Catholic form, and
everywhere the sign of the cross is in
evidence. Before and after grace-at
meals; before and after prayers; pre-
ceding handshaking we see the sign of
the cross. What the flag is to the
patriot, what the square and compass
is to the mason and mystic signs are
to a great brotherhood of man, the
cross is to these people. Superstition
if you will: hypnotism, spiritualism,
christian science, or whatever dogma
permeateS their belief there is God
fearing Christ loving piety that makes
far better living: a germ of Christian
God likeness planted in simple hearts
choked with weeds of superstition and
oppressed by injustice and persecution

Nobody pulled in for shooting craps"
No one booZed up and started a scrap,
No one run in for taking ''horn,"
Nobody dead and nobody born.
Oh. for riot, racket, fuss.
Some one to start in and pick up fuss,
Some one to stir up this peace-laden

Some one Or the war path to give US a

Some one to come and pay up his dues,
Anything, anything, just so it's news.

Recognized at Washington.

The only instance on record of a
post Office being named after patent
medicine, was last year. when in Wet
eel county, w. Va, new post Office
was established and named Kodol after
the famous KodOl Dyspepsia Cure,
manufactured by E. G.. Dewitt & Co.,
of Chicago. 1t had given such salts
factory results that the name was
unanimously selected by the people for
the new office and adopted by the
department at Washington, d. c. This
action was entirely voluntary on the
part of the people Of the community,
without any solicitation whatever
from the manufacturers of KOdol
Dyspepsia Cure. In fact the first
knowledge they obtained regarding
the matter was when they received
letter bearing the post mark "KOdOl,
w. Va" and the contents fully ex-
planned the circumstances. For
verification of this statement the
reader is referred to the latest Post
Office Guide.

TO BUILD ELECTRIC ROAD.
One to Be Constructed Between Stevens
Point and Grand Rapids by Cincinnati
Capital.

From Milwaukee Free Press.
That an interurban line will shortly
be constructed between the cities of
Stevens Point and Grand Rapids is now
an assured fact, and this will only be
the beginning of road which is
expected to traverse the whole length
of the Wisconsin valley.
d. 0. Fischer of Grand Rapids and a
number of Cincinnati capitalists,
including S. T. Rogers, W. f. Young,
J. G. Burton and A. B. Blanchard,
were in the city yesterday discussing
plans for the proposed road. The
stretch which will be completed first
is about thirty miles in length and the
tremendous water power of the valley
will be utilized as motive force.
The interested parties left for
Chicago on the evening train.

To Enumerate schools.

State Ststistician Johnson has en-
gagged F. a. Cotton, until recently
deputy state superintendent of schools,
to gather information about the col
leges and universities of Indiana and
about the psrochisl schools. The state
has no statistical information about
psrochial schools, and the investigation
along this line will be new. Confer
ences will be held with leading Catholic
churchmen of Indiana, TO enlist their
support and ascertain what kind of
facts can be gathered. 1t is Mr.. John
sons idea that statistics should be
gathered showing the per capital cost
of educating in psrochisl schools,
method of raising revenue to support
them, number of teachers employed,
salaries paid and branches taught.
There are Lutheran and a few
other denominational schools.

German Township Has 900 Voters.

Jacob Gardener, trustee of German
township, was in the city today. He
has been busy for some time taking an
enumeration of the voters and school
children. There are something over
900 voters in that township. Mr.. Car
blener is giving German township q
careful business administration when
the taxpayers doubtless aprreciate.
German township has always main
tanned that broad business experience
is an essential qualification of those
whom they entrust with the manage
ment of public business. In this
it is right, and the voters are to be con
graduated upon their judgement in
selecting men of such qualifications.
