a JUGGLER'S TRICK.
Clever Feat OF Illusion Performed by
East Indian.

The wonderful fcats OF East Indian
juGglers have formed the theme of
many letter from travellers in the
orient, but none is more surprising than
that for which an old scadog vouchcs.
W lille he was all officer on board q
L. and o. steamship two natives came
aboard at Madras, he says. They were
jugS!er and Lis assistant. After they
had performed number Of minor
fcGts and gathered quite crowd
around them they called for sack
and Il piece of sailcloth.
These having been provided, the
chief juGg!er made small tentlike
structure with the canvas and some
stools. He then placed his assistant
In the sack ana allowed q sailor to tic
the knot which bound him a fast pris-
oner. This done, the chief carried the
sack into an open space, warning the
people to stand back some distance
nnd then carried on an animated con-
vcrsation with his assistant. whose re-
plies could be distinctly heard coming
from the sack. Suddenly the chief
rushed forward, picked up the sack
and dumped it overheard, where, to
the horror CT the passengers and crew,
1t sank out Of sight.
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man, under the
full belief that lie had murdered his
companion but the juGglcr only
smiled and, pointing to the canvas,
asked that it be raised. This was
done, and the supposed drowned man
was discovered squattins on the deck.
So realistic had been the throwing
overheard, however, that it was some
tine before the surprised passengers
could realize murder had not been
committed.

he found his venture likely 10 prove IN

want hats. They wanted blankets ard

hats. Then lri%ht idea came to An

hat too. The Katiirs wanted his goods,
SO they bought the hats.

feels bound TO make Use of it. The ma
tves therefore donncd their head gear
and returned to their kraGls. Now ap-
pcared the brilliancy of the traders
idea. Fashion rules the world. 1t is as
strong in Africa as in America, and
when those who had stayed at home
saw the travellers return in all the glo-
~ of this strange covering they felt
bch!ndhand and old fashioned. Their
desire to possess the latest thing in
hats became intense. They paid An
dries visit, ana his stock no longer
hung heavy upon his hands. The hats
were soon sold.
This happened some time ago, and
now every trading store Keeps 4 supply
OF hats constantly on hand. They are
said % be manufactured expressly for
the natives, and no one who glanccs at

To Thread n Hair Through, n Walnut

70 pass q hair through walnut
without boring hole seems an lmpos-
sibility, but the feat has often been
done. The hull of the walnut when
examined with strong glass is seen
to have innumerable small openings,
some Of which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists in using a
very fine hair and an infinite amount
Of patience. Pass the hair into one Of
these minute creviccs and urge 1t gen.
tIy along. Sometimes it will appear on
the other side at the first trial. but if
it comes out at the hundred and first

CUBA'S GRAND OLD MAN.
Maxine Gomez Plays an Important
Role in Public Affairs

General Gomez seems to be a kind of
uncrowned king of Cuba. He can ae-
comp1ish results there possible to no one
else. He has just brought a menacing
labor strike to an end. when the city
and island government seemed alike
powerless and the city was in the hands
of riotous mob General Gomez met
the leaders of the unions and declared
CURLY that their movement was q revo-
luton and not a strike, and that he
stood ready to call out the veterans of
the revolutionary war to take up arms
to support the government and maintain
order. There may be something a little
theatrical about this; but the cold fact
is that the rioting stopped and the strike
was called off.
This resembles the service rendered by
General Gomez to the military govern
ment at the beginning of the occupation
when the Cuban army was restless and
d1ScOntented, and it was uncertain if our
rule would be accepted peaceably until
an independent government could be
organized. Almost by his sole influence,
he induced the revolutionary army. to
disband and the people in sympathy
with the insurrection to submit to our
government while helping to organize
their own. All through the occupati ton,
he was the most powerful popular sup
port of the military government, as he
is now the most powerful popular sup
port of President Palma's government.
This man holds a remarkable position
He was not an officer under the military
government though very many Cubans
were appointed to office. He is not an
officer of President Palma's government,
though it is probable that he might
have had any place, either elective or
appointive. He is not even a native
Cuban, be it remembered. He is only
the surviving head of the army that
fought for the liberty of the island. His
status there is something like that of
Bolivar in South America, who was able
to subdue faction and arouse national
spirit with word in almost any of the
northern republics, so long as he lived.
The romantic hero worship of the
Latin races is not without practical
value. 1t is probable that General
Gomez has not rendered his last service
to the cause of order in the island for
which he ught.-Minneapo Tribune.

KEEP ON THE MOVE.
Said That Santa Fe Is Trying to Pre-
vent Organizations.

San Bernardino, Cal, Dec. 9.-Three
boilermakers arrived here from Topeka
yesterday and today three more came in
from Chicago They were sent here to
work in the Santa Fe shops in the face
of the fact that four men have just
been laid off in the boiler shop. 1t
seems to be the aim of the company to
keep the men moving, but for what rea-
son is not known One man today ad-
vanced the theory that while on the move
they do not have chance to perfect
their organizations, and it may be that
the officials are of the same opinion.
So far only 80 of the 165 men who were
scheduled for a layoff have received
their vacation papers, and it is possible
that the rest will not get the expected
holiday rest. Sixteen of those who are
off are machinists.
