he gave fer my amusement was the converting of a bamboo stick into a. native servant, who waited at table and supplied our wants. Afterward- in his absence-I tried it, and to my surprise the same man was before me asking for instructions. I directed him
 to i'll the chatties in the Veranda with
 water from the well in the compound.
 This he proceeded to do. When he had
 filled them all to overflowing I re-
 duested him to stop. He. however
 took no notice of me, and went on

 as though I did not exist, I drew my
 sword and lay in wait for him. I made
 slash at him and apparently cut him
 in twain. when To! there were two men
 bringing in the water, neither of whom
 could I restrain from doing so.
 "I was completely out of my depth,
 when I heard a quiet laugh behind me,
 and. on turning, I found it was my instructor, who held up his right hand and the two men disappeared, the stick | resuming its place on the .veranda i;
 and. to crown all, there was not the | slightest sign of any water having been brought in. I excitedly appealed | to him for an explanation. He said he had been present all the time, hay ing willed that he should be invisible | to me. and that I should imagine my | self to see and do what I thought | had taken place. In order to prove it | he asked me step into the compound, l and directed my attention to Q larg9 cavern, which I knew was not there l before.

WOMEN AND THE THEATER.

Avowedly women are both directly and indirectly the best friends of the theatrical. manager. It he can please the feminine portion of his audience he is tolerably sure of success. for when a woman likes a play she in- duces her men folk to go to it. This being so. ought not women to be s0e- cially considered in all places of enter tainment? But it is precisely on the opposite lines that the manager com =nonly proceeds. Men are encouraged to push and squeeze past and disturb and inconvenience ladies between the acts because smoking-roOms are pro- vided for them in most theaters: wo- men. on the other hand, are exDostu- lated with and denounced if they wear hats at a matinee.-Londcn World.

Here in the midst of an old Jn- dian settlement is seen a massive church. built in the form of a cross. after the style of the Spanish renais-- sance.
 The building is of stone and Spani-h

 Above the transept is a dome which
 is about fifty feet above ground.
 On each side of the front door. with

 the mission which is about fifteen feet
 square. The one on the right of the
 entrance is the baptismal room. and
 the one on the left is an abandoned
 mortuary chamber.
 Running all around the interior of
 the church and about twenty feet from
 the floor is a cleverly initiated rope Of
 stucco, the emblem of the Franciscan
 order On the dirt floor of the church
 there are a few rude benches, and at
 the feet of the different saints are kneeling-stones that have been worn
 into bowls by the knees of the thou sands of worshippers, who, in the last century, have accorded homage to the saints.
 At the end of the rave is the altar. iedicated to St Francis Xavier. It is
 surrounded by a. profus.on of orna-
 mentation, as is customary in many ecclesiastical structures. The most noteworthy ornaments are the frescoes that adorn the walls. Many of them Ire in a fair state of preservation. | though many are faded beyond recog- nition To the right of the altar is q large pointing representing the Holy | Ghost and the Disciples" The one op- 9osite and of the same size is paint ing of "The Last Supper 1 These are only a few of the relics and paintings left us to show the diff | culty under which the Fathers work 1 ed, and it is with intending wonder that we see that they accomplished ! them with their rude tools.

 The reception was given in honor of Miss Hammond and Miss Frances Bab- cock. the sister of the president of the university. Promptly at o'clock the doors were thrown open and the guests began to arrive, and from that hour until Il they continued to come. Some 200 invitations had been issued, and very few of those fortunate enough to receive them failed to attend in per son.

So many people needlessly and reck jessly waste their nerve energy. They drum the chair or the desk with their fingers CT tap the floor with their toes. They hold their hands.
