A WASHINGTON WIZARD.
Count Works Miracles With Lions
 Snakes. Mirrors and Champagne.

COuIIl w OIhS MlEdCleS " lln Lions,
 Snakes. Mirrors and Champagne.
 The recent appearance in Washing ton of Count Sarak de Das. the Thib- etan Oculist, recalls to mind some Of his feats which have astounded the countries of Europe Sarak de Des is the Cagliastro of today. How many of his miracles are due to the wcNing> Of a psychic force not yet understood or how great a percentage of them are charlatanism none can say.
 During the time his exhibitions were being given in Paris the French papers were full of them. and some of his ex- periments are of thrilling interest. Be- fore an audience of 400 people Count de Das had a glass cage containing a serpent thirteen feet long. rolled onto the stage Whether this serpent was a boa constructor or a cobra the journal ists fail to say. but, nevertheless, when unswathed from it's woolen coverings the snake crept out of the cage with uncommon agility and Hveliness and began to swiftly coil and unciol it's sinuous metres.
 Emile GabOriau. the creator of Mon sieur Lecocq," advanced and touched the reptile with tentative fingers, pro- nouncing it unquestionably genuine. no base imitation in rubber impelled to movement by interior springs.
 Then de Das had his little jest. "A veritable serDent?" he asked.
 oh yes" replied Gaboriau, "a ser pent of flesh and bone"
 'Of wood, you mean" said Sarak, and in the twinkling of an eye the snake was rigid. immovable. Sarak took it up and struck the table with it three times-three resounding blows. Grave and reverend doctors came up to examine and were forced to confess that to ali outward seeming the crea- ture was as insensate as a thing of wood or stone. Presently Sarak clapped his hands, made pass or so in the air and the serpent was restored to life and activity.
 After all. though. this is is not per- haps so wonderful feat as it appears, since most hypnotists affirm that many animals are as susceptible to psychic influence, if properly applied, as hu- man beings; but even more amazing and spectacular was Sarak's next ef- fort. The operator. with a beautiful young woman for his subject entered a cage of seven untrained lions, and. casting the girl into a state of rigid catalepsy, placed her body across two stools, thus forming bridge, over which he drove the roaring beasts back and forth. This was almost sufficient marvel even for a French audience but Sarah had another trump up his sleeve. With a sudden glare of the eye he simultaneously hypnotized the seven lions, so that they fell to thr ground together, as though stricken by q bolt of lightning.

BRYAN A DIPLOMATIC FEEDER.

He is a splendid feeder, and between the two of us Mrs. Blair's elegant din- ner suffered vast devastation. We had corn and potatoes and roast beef. Bryan sent back his order for a sec ond helping of corn. What could be more popular in Iowa. the greatest corn state of them all? If any republican roasting ears, and then refuse to vote for him, he must be unpatriotic, indeed And when it came time to change plates for the second course or third course there were so many we could not keep track of them-Bryan said: Wait d minute; I am not quite done" That did not displease the hostess. do you think?
 And when the fried chicken course arrived we could have made confer ence of Methodist preachers look like thirty cents. the way We destroyed spring chicken. And at first Bryan re- fused sweet potatoes, but upon second thought he was reminded that Colum- bus Junction was the home of the sweet potato. and out of loyalty to home in- dustries he took a big one. and it went the way of the rest. What diplomacy. And of the ice cream and cake he took full measure. What more delightful guest could you ask that one who eats something of everything, and really a good deal of everything Washing Post.

THE VANITY OF RICHES.

To earn little, and tn spend q lit tie less.
 The best thing about this first part of Stevenson's creed is that first "lit- tle." If men could bring themselves to the belief that happiness is not de- pendent upon how much, but how well and honestly they accomplish, there would be less time and carse for com plaint, and more opportunity for tie nobler side of human ma Ire to assert itself. After all, what do we gain when we have striven? A gleam of gold which is ours orly so long as we can hold it from others who are striv- ing and scheming to have it from us And what lose we? A glow of purer gold, which will illulline not only our own lives, but the liV $ of those around us, and shine long Q Ger we have gone. There is more of f t than theory in this. Name me tn rich men of the five centuries pTece .ng the nineteenth But you have no [ ouble in recalling Columbus, Luther. Newton, Raphael. Milton. Shakespeare, And it will con- tinue so throughoy the centuries to come. The Wander biltS and Morgans of today will give rlaoe in the lasting record of this age [ names perhaps unknown now, to nj.

DISEA SEE IN PLANKS.

Dr. F. J. Wilkie, health officer or Oshkosh Wis, expresses the belief that most of the smallpox cases in the cities of central and southern Wisconsin, and perhaps Chicago. have not been the re suit of actual contact with infected persons or clothing. but of infection from germ laden lumber brought down from the woods of northern Wisconsin and Michigan. He bases his belief on his experience of the past year in fight ing the disease.
 In practically every case the first one in q family to be affected was the father, and he invariably was employed in a sash and door or furniture factory. and scarcely left home save to go to work and to church.
 Dr. Wilkie maintains that lumber, be- ing rough and porous. could easily serve as a vehicle for contagion germs
 and that thus disease could be con- veyed from the lumber camps of nor thern Wisconsin. Michigan and Minne- s6ta cities where the lumber was sawed up or handled.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

BY THE LINES OF HER HAND.
A Palmist Tells Miss Roosevelt She
 Will Wed a Man of Wealth.

Since Miss Alice Roosevelt and Miss Ellen DreXel left last Monday on an automibile trip to Boston, an interest ing story of an interview she had with a pamist is being discussed.
 r. G. Peters. young man of Allen town, Pa, who has gained considerable fame as a palmist. was last week sum moned here. where he was one of the entertainers at a dinner given by Mrs Stuyvesant Fish, in honor of Miss Roosevelt.
 Regarding Miss Roosevelt's hand Mir. Peters after the entertainment, said
 Miss Roosevelt is the pOssessOr of a square hand with the fingers from the first joint tapering into a slight cone, which contains few markings outside of the principal lines. The joint of material order more in evidence than that of mental order, showing or der. arrangement. system and symma- try great power to endure; lover Of outdoor sports and innocent games: quite practical and unaffected, broad in mind and not easily biased.
 "The general summing up of her hand signifies an early and wealthy marriage with the one of her choice The fate and sun lines tell of a re- markable destiny both as to distinction and wealth; one who will be admired and loved by all for her modest and gentle ways. The heart line gives seri- ousness in her affairs of the heart. not given to amorettes or little love affairs Her likes and dislikes are strong. and she has the hand of a true. good woman.

or glass is very interesting. although it is said that the same feat was per formed by a magician of the time of Louis XVI. when. apparently without human intervention. q mirror of Marie Antoinette's was shivered at the wiz ards command.
 In the present instance. however. an ordinary sheet of heavy French plate glass was used, and was held in the hands of person above any suspicion of confederacy. Having had it thor oughly tested and examined to the sat- isfaction of his audience Sarak gazed steadily at it for a moment. and. as if from the very power Of his glance. the glass cracked, shivered andsfeH to pieces in the holders hands
 At banquet given in his honor at the Hotel Continental in Paris. Sarak succeeded in completely astounding the assembled company. The Baroness de Cleary and the Duchess de Pomar had toasted him and Sarak rose to respond Instead of speaking he lifted his glass. brimming with champagne. high in the air, and then in its depths. as though on the surface of a mirror. the guests stw reflected the faces of absent friends. While still the wonder grew. and while all gazed at the magic glass outheld in the steady hand of Sarak. presto. the champagne vanished like mist before the morning sun The glass was there, held at the same un- wavering angle, but it's contents had utterly disappeared.
 Terrible thought Had it surrepti- tiously flowed up the sleeve of Sarak's correct evening coat. Assuredly, the faithful will never believe so.

LIVING WITNESSES.

Trees have about them something very fair and attractive even in this that to the fancy, since they cannot change their places, they are witnesses of every change that occurs on the spot; and as some reach an exceedingly great age, they resemble historical monuments. and like ourselves. they have life. growing and passing away not being inanimate and unvary$aS like the fields and streams. One sees them pass through different stages and at last step by step approach death. which suggests still more the resemblance between them and us.

Prince Yuan has gradually faded from the horizon of public observation. We have it now, on the authority of an imperial decree. that he was a boxer leader, indeed. the boxer leader. r. is impossible. therefore, that he should ever return to active official life or even to lawfully tolerated existence. We find the following reference to him in the North China Daily News:

A REMARKA3 3LE RECORD.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a remarkable record. It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. 1t has long been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manu- lecturers in which it failed to effect cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take. many children like it. It con- tains no opium or other harmful sub stance and may be given as confidently to baby as to an adult. For sale by Elvey & Hulett, druggists.
