Oriental JuCg1ery.

An eyewitness of celebrated feat
of oriental jugglery tells the following
story Of what he thought he saw
band of Indian fakirs accomplish:
"They produced a chain seventy'iiye
feet in length and in my presence
threw one end of it toward the sky,
where it remained as if fastened to
something in the air. \ dog was then
brought forward and, being placed at
the lower end of the chain, immedi-
ately ran up and. reaching the other
end, disappeared in the air. In the
same manner hog, a panther, lion
and n tiger were successfully sent up
the chain. and all disappeared at the
upper end. At last they pulled down
the chain and put it in a bag, no one
ever discovering in what manner the
different animals were made to van
ish."

Thomns CnrIyIe and His Wife.

AS a married couple they were in
deed to be pitied if the world had
known it. They were childless, and
therefore half the world was dark to
them. No man can be a sage who
has no children. A barren woman IS
like half a story Let her be ever SO
clever, so literary, so witty, when 1t
comes to the essentials of life she Is
open to the retort, How do you know! /!
And so it was with the Carlyles in
their unsatsfying world of literary
eminence. Pity them, gentle reader!
When they shut the doors of their sew
eral bedrooms at night a mouse might
not squeak Or fly buzz but they
must start full awake in the blessed
dark and moralize, the one on eternity
and the other on Thomas.

Anything that may be done to assist

Cinnamon is so extraordinarily SEN

with regard to its surroundings on
board ship, as a bale of very fine Gin

aroma if packed among bales Of coars-

tried to remedy this. The Portuguese

Frogs and Snakes.

The common snake is very fond OF
water. It's food consists exclusively Of
frogs and fishes. All snakes eat either
living food. including eggs, or creatures
they have themselves killed. When
pursued by snake the frog seems to
be half paralyzed with fear, leaplng
less and less powerfully as the snake
approaches it more nearly and uttering
feeble cries. If stick be so pushed
through the grass toward a frog as to
initiate the movement of a snake the
frog will exhibit the symptoms of ter

Society Gossip OF the week. .

The social event of the week was
the Spokane club dance. given Thurs
day night. There were just enough
present to make it comfortably
crowded for dancing. The club is a
very pleasant place for dance and
the women like the dances there to
the extent of being willing to go,
when they know they will probably
outnumber the men and thereby run
the risk Of playing wall flower" For
often the members take two women
sisters or cousins or aunts" or some
body--and women often predominate
There are other rooms to stroll in
than the ballroom, however, and you
don't have to sit smack up against
the wall all the time, as at Elks' hall.
That Is certainly trying on ones
nerves. I've often noticed at Elks'
hall dances when there Is a ladies
choice" announced unexpectedly and
unless he has been engaged for it
early there is not a man to be seen
sitting down. At the first note of the
music the men disappear in the smok-
ing room as though swallowed up by
magic for fear they will be wall
flowers" too. Evidently they don't
like it either, but, as Kipling says.
THAT is another story" and I start
ed out to tell about who was at the
club dance and what they wore.
1t seemed quite like old times,
there were so many of the ladies
there whom we knew as bellies a few
years ago. There was Mrs. Jackson,
formerly Virginia Winston; Mrs
Burford, whom we danced with as
Nellie Page, and there was Maud
Wadsworth, now Mrs. j. d. Farrell
and Grace Ewing, now Mrs. Wede-
kind, who formed little circle of
their own in days gone by.
And now for their gowns: Mrs
Farrell, in white, looked just as
pretty as she always does, and oh,
the most gorgeous party coat. Her
sister, Miss Wadsworth, also wore
white, and it was exceedingly becom-
ing to her. Mrs. Crowder wore pink
with a touch of black about it, Mrs
Post wore black, trimmed with jet
and gold. Mrs. Avery wore old rose
silk null with a lot of handwork
about it. Mrs. George Nettleton had
on a pink crepe gown that was very
becoming. Mrs. Drumheller looked
lace gown. Miss Levesson wore pink
Mrs. Lewis Rutter had on a gown of
green and black effect that was very
