Herrmann and KeIIar.

The late Professor Hermann, the
magician, was possessed not only OF
great strength in his hands, but or
such skill as would enable him to per-
form apparent feats of strength which
would be impossible to far stronger
man.
His greatest feat along this line was
TO place two packs Of cards together
and tear them across.
A friend of his, going into a care
with Hermann, met another FRIEND
who was accompanied by a quiet look
ing man with big mustache.
The four sat down together, and
Hermann was at length induced &c
tear two packs Of cards in half.
"That." said his admiring friend, rs
something no other man alive can do
The quiet man with the mustache
cooIly picked up the torn packs ana
tore the halved sections into quarter
sections.
Then, as the rest glared amazedly al
him, he remarked:
81 forgot to mention my name is
Kellar"
1t was Herrmanns foremost rival I'D

man. was at one OF his appointments
to baptlze some children. There was
large crowd, and a sturdy southern
matron brought her four children to
the altar. name this child" said the
Union preacher, laying his hand on
the boys head. "Simon Bolivar BUCK
ner," was the reply, which caused q
smile to come over the congregation,
but the brave preacher went on with
his duty.
"Name this child" taking the next
in order. "Pierre Gustaye Toutant
Beauregard." And the smile grew into
q sricker, while DR.. Savage became
red in the face. He baptized the
young namesake of the soldier and
went on with the ceremony. Name
this one" he gasped, reaching for the
third. ALBERT Sidney Johnson" came
the answer. The smile became audi
BILE and the preacher apoplectic. Heav-
ing a sigh of relief, be took the fourth
child, a little girl, whose gender he
fondly supposed would preclude a con-
tinuation of heroic reproduction and
said, ''Name this child" MARY Stone
wall Jackson Lee" came the response
that set the congregation in a roar,
while the Union parson thought he had
held In his arms the whole Southern
Confederacy.

A railway company was erecting q
line Of new poles along a highway.
One of the men engaged to fill in the
dirt and clear up around the poles was
an Irishman, new at the business and
new to America. He had not got be-
yond his first pole, says the Philadel-
phia Times, but stood bordering how
to dispose Of the dirt which had filed
the space now occupied by the pole.
His sense of the fitness of things
must have been strong, for he was
ayerse to piling the loose dirt around
the base of the pole, as is the custom.
A negro wayfarer stopped for a match,
and the Irishman asked his advice.
'If was a-doin' dat job, I'd JUS dig
a hole bout where you ah standin'
and shovel de dirt into it. Much

knowledge of the story of Noah. which
he had carefully rehearsed. The boy
had been thinking hard. and his an
swer to the first question showed that
he had at least the virtue OF original
ity.
"Now," said papa, "can you tell me
how Noah knew that the waters had
gone DOWN."
The boy hesitated a minute, as II
seeking for proper words to express
himself; then he said:
Noah knew the waters had gone
down because the dove came back
bringing him pickle"
Olives and pickles were synonymous
terms In the small boys mind for
things which come In bottles and
