A MAGICIAN COMPOUNDED.
Colored Boys Appetite Busted" Palmed
Dollar

One on the Magician.-Carl Hertz, the
American sleight Of hand performer. who
is just now amusing London audiences,
was once giving an entertainment in
Nashville, Tenn, where he engaged the
services of gawky boy whom he wished
to utilize as a confederate.
''Now listen,' said Hertz to the youth,
"you keep this marked dollar in your
trousers pocket and when I call you
from the stage come up and hand it to
me-"
1t was near the close Of the evenings
programme before Hertz reached the
trick in which he counted upon the as
sistance of his confederate. He pro-
duced a marked silver dollar, palmed it,
swallowed it, passed it through doors
and tables. and, finally, caused it to
vanish in the air.
''There," exclaimed the magician,
pointing to his confederate who held the
duplicate coin. 'that boy has it. Come
here, you," and the youth shambled for
ward at the summons.
"Now," continued Hertz, "give me
that dollar you have in your trousers
Slowly and with apparent distress the
lad fshed out handful of small
change.
Here's 80 cents, it's all I've got left"
he explained. II spent the rest in

A Monster Sawfsh.

Not far from Singapore the master OF
the steamship New Guinea, Capt. f..
Smith, secured the saw from perhaps the
largest fish of its kind ever caught. On
May II, when the vessel was in the
Carimata strait, the weather being very
fine, the chief officer, Mr.. Dewitt, baited
a large shark hook and threw it over the
steamers stern, allowing the line to trail
behind. At p. M. the bait was taken,
and from the great strain on the line it
was at once guessed that large game
had been hooked. The fish, which
proved to be a gigantic sawfsh, strug-
gled furiously in the water, and it was
feared that it would be impossible to get
it on board. The tumult caused in tue
sea by the monsters tail resembled that
of large steamers propeller when part
ly out Of the water. The line was. how
ever, fixed to the No. winch, and the
fish was hauled alongside. A wire stock
was placed around it's body; and it was
hauled onto the deck and dispatched
When measured it was found to be -
feet in length. The saw, which was cut
off and preserved, measures ~ feet in

LOVE.

Loves net is made Of divers colors blent;
Crimson the walp, with Loves deep pas
And wrapped about with fine ethereal
OF mystic blue, from farthest heaven sent.
A double mesh! All. fast and sure it holds
Our hearts at last. Beneath it's purple folds
The Joy of life with loves strange sorrow
And all our grief the joy of love beholds.
Ye purple howels! When as the red rose
Ye violets thou heavenly heliotrope,
How deep We mourned her! Yet that GRIM
son tide
OF life flows on. For you the rose hath
You are her heirs, so all the garden said,
Her love is yours, and all loves better
hope
Whose hover hath never from the garden
fed.
Flom lifc's dull house though loves sweet
joy doth fly,
Swift as the day, or fate, or flowers that
die,
Loves hand still holds our hearts in that
strange mesh
Which fate doth weave beneath the silent
sky.
Though fate should turn our joy to mute
despair,
And all the house Of life grow dark and
bare,
Still in the garden groweth ever fresh
That flower of love. Oh, let US. seek it
there.

MEN LACK GENTLENE SS.
Answer to the Question, what is the
Greatest Happiness in
life ~

1 was asked the other day to state
what believed to be one of the most
common faults in the character Of the
man of today.
What impresses me most in Analysing
the qualities that 60 to make up the char
acter Of the modern man is the wonder
full variety that it present, and yet,
through all the various types that you
may sum up and sort, how rarely YOU
find the quality of gentleness that is 50
peculiarly attractive i'll men, as we'll as
in women. There is no doubt that every
one admires a man whose character com
prises the sturdy qualities, the robust ele-
ments, but no manly character is COM
plete that lacks affectionateness and ten
der-heartedness.
Strength in man, without this human
quality, is not beautiful, but rough and
oftentimes british.
There are men, I know, who have the
foolish idea that gentleness of manner is
effeminate, that it is not manly quality,
and so they take great pride in affecting
brusqueness that often verges ON rude
ness, thinking that they are cultivating
a type of manliness that is highly COM
mendable:
1t is, however, only the natural mistake
Of narrow and egotistical mind.
What is more beautiful than true noble
ness of character?
Is not heroic strength in the true sense
OF the world always gentle?
You will find that the men who lack
the quality of gentleness are the ones
who DO not seem to appreciate the I'M
portance of beauty and delicacy in out
ward forms of life.
The lack Of refinement is dis6guring
fault.
A man does not necessarily have to be
familiar with the laws of etiquette to
have gentleness of heart which cannot
help give to his bearing and acts the
truest refinement
He must have true politeness, which
treats everyone kindly, a heart that is
generous, courteous and, above all, I'M
selfish.
The man who recognizes this criticism
as just concerning himself would do we'll
to pay heed to curing his faults.
Let him remember that, no matter
what he is or where he is, he is daily,
yes, hourly, altering and moulding the
character Of all those with whom he
mingles. The influence of every act of
yours is felt throughout the world.
Let mothers begin and develop gentle
ness in their boys. You cannot begin too
early.
Your influence in that direction will be
of benefit to all women, as well as to the
men.
Very fortunate is the woman who be-
comes the wife Of a GENTLEman.--Ma

The dispatches from North Sydney
state that Peary's approach to the pole
latitude Stills equivalent to 343 miles.
This is approximately correct; but the
miles are not those with which 'land-
lubbers" are most familiar-statute miles.
They are geographical or nautical miles.
There are 2O25 yards in geographical
mile, and in statute mile only 1850; so
that 343 geographical miles would be
equivalent to something more than 394.5
statute miles.
