AsToNISHED THE LANDLORD


A few months since q man who
called himself conjurer entered a
tavern in country town and asked
the assembled company if they would
like to witness one OF his tricks. The
fellow looked cold and hungry, says
London Ht-Bits, so the landlord gave
assent, and stated that he knew
few tricks himself and had seen
many wonderful ones.
The conjurer then requested the
company to place three hats upon
the table, after which he desired the
landlord to bring loaf of bread,
and the stranger cut three pieces
(nearly half pound each) and
placed one upon each hat. He then
stated that he could do the trick so
much more comfortably to himself
If he had three pieces of cheese. The
cheese being brought. he cut three
good-sized pieces and placed one by
each piece of bread.
Now was the grand trick. The con-
iurer turned up the cuffs of his coat,
took out his handkerchief. unbut-
toned his shirt-collar, and stated
that he would eat the three pieces of
bread and cheese and afterwards
bring all under one hat. He CON-
menced eating, and after demolish-
! ing two pieces declared that he could
not proceed with the third and finish
the trick unless he had something
to drink.
The landlord, anxious that the
wonderful trick should be proceeded
with, for the amusement of his Gus.
toners, Immediately gave the fellow
q quart of ale; and the third piece
of bread and cheese soon followed
the first two pieces. Now the grand
trick was to disclosed, and the land
lord and his companions anxiously
waited to see it.
| The conjurer said: Nov, gentle
men, which hat shall l bring the
bread and cheese under?"
| The landlord pointed out his owl
hat, wishing it to take part in thu
trick as we'll as the bread and cheese
It being so arranged, the conjureI
again said:
Gentlemen, j have eaten thu
bread and cheese and will bring i
under the landlords hat" and i'm
mdiately placed the hat upon hi
head and walked out, getting ciea1
away before the company could re
cover from their surprise.

Last summer, for the first time, the
whirr Of reaping machines was heard
in the grain fields of the ancient land
of Syria. The machines came from
Chicago, and when, little later, a
steam thrashing machine, made in II
diana, was set to work in Coele-Syria,
there was some excitement among the
native farmers. Before the reapers
appeared on the plain of Esdraelon
American windmills had been intro
duced, and later in the year -four mill
