THE BLACK ART OF MAGIC.

In every sort of magic the magician's thumb is his worst enemy. If he could strike off that thumb and still have it's assistance when necessary he would be a happy man. In closing the hand the thumb usually bends toward the palm in advance of the fingers. In this way it many times is much in the way, and practice is@necessary to get 8 magicir ans thumb in perfect training. But when he has practised in the school for some time, the thumb becomes so flexible that it will bend nearly to the back of the hand. Cards are invariably the beginning of q magician's educa- tion. In handling the cards the thumb lis especially in the way, and this is the reason why tfis trickery with paste boards is selected for the beginner. To change one card for another in front of one's very eyes, and still to have made no perceptible movement of the hand, is trick that the boys learn to perform before they are in school for any great length of time. This, as may be imagined, is a difficult piece of work to become proficient in, and here lis just the place where determination plays a great part in the boys success. --Leslie's weekly.

]. AN EXTENSIVE SPORT.

Autograph hunting is a sport hard too understand. Somebody has paid e900 for a draft of a letter written by Mary Queen of Scots. Where is the value? It is long letter; perhaps D. 800 words, in the ueen's large, legible hand. But it had been published in a photographic fac-simile, with text and translation in print, and every drop of historical information had been wrung out of it by Father Pollen, S.J. If the original draft had then been burned, nobody would have been the poorer, except the heirs of the late MT. Scott. of Halkshill, the owner, His family generously presented Father Pollen's admirable edition to the Scottish His torical Society a year ago, Sc 1t Is not the novel historical contents that make the seven pages of old paper sell for e9OO.

BORN ENEMIES.

Dinner was just over at the mess room of the young officers of the White Hussars, stationed outside of Pontivy, and a grop of gay fellows stood idly lounging on the beautiful terrace that overlooked the city.
 Suddenly Lieutenant Kirby turned to one of the men behind him and seizing his arm cried misehievously:
 Its no use, old man We all know about it, so you might as we'll confess!'
 The officer to whom he had spoken looked up in astonishment. He was a sihgularly handsome fellow, with hon. est blue eyes and proud bearing.

SCRIBES AT WHITE CITY.
ENTERTAINED IN ROYAL STYLE
 BY MANAGEMENT.

Unanimous Verdict That This Summer
 the HHome of Amusement" VIII he
 UnequaIIed as 9 Pleasure Ground in
 New EngIand-Newspaper Men to
 Banquet There Later in the Season.
 As a preliminary to the formal open Ing to-day of the White City at Savin Rock the keys of that interesting pleasure resort were turned over with out condition to the newspaper men yesterday afternoon by the manage ment. Upon the guests devolyed the duty of passing judgment upon the many attractions which for several months to come will be offered to those who, in search of recreation and en- joyment. go to that place. Tine yer dict, unanimously expressed later, was that the White City this summer will be unequalIed as a pleasure ground in New England. The visit of the news paper men was attended by some cere- mony as the occasion required, and City Editor Regar of the Register was raised to the office of dean of the corps in order that the formal entrance of the visitors at the portals of the White City might be made with the dignity that the occasion required. A luncheon was served at the cafe and the post prandium doubly served as a welcome to the visitors and an expression on the part os the latter to the courtesies extended D. D. Cundell, the manager of the White City, told of the efforts made to introduce new features among the attractions of the resort, and syl- vester Sullivan explained the publicity feature of the enterprise showing the value of newspaper advertising in bringing people not only to the White City but to New Haven. s.s
 General Manager Punderford of the Consolidated railway told of the part

his road would take in making access to the White City possible, and in turn members of the staffs of the New Ha- ven newspapers extended felicitations. Then the newspaper men began a round of experiences, making trips on the scenic railway, flying through space on the circle swing, and doing every thing but furnish copy in the way of a sensation of a mishap until it was time to board special electrics for the home ward trip. Before leaving the visitors again entered the cafe and here it was decided that so delightful had been the afternoons outing that a permanent organization of the scribes of the city was desirable and it was voted that later a summer banquet be held. It was urged by many of the speakers that the chief object in view was that of developing local pride, and that prosperity at the White City could not but reflect in New Haven upon which city, by reason of it's relation to both the steam and electric roads. the White City draws much os its patronage.
 The White City yesterday was re- splendent in it's freshly applied coat of white paint, but most of the features which will bring enjoyment to those who venture therein were ready for the opening. So popular was the resort last season that it cannot fail to draw thither many more thousands than journeyed to New Haven last season. The informal opening was a, huge suc- cess in the opinion of those who ac- cepted the courtesy of the management yesterday. and who heartily enjoyed all that was offered to them.

{. SHADE TREES IN CITIES.

The large American cities, as rule,
 are far behind the great European
 municipalities in making such provi-
 sion for public comfort and civic
 beauty. Nearly $3,0l ,000 has been ex- pended for tree planting on the boule-
 yards of Paris. The New England
 cities owe their attractiveness to the
 noble elms that grace the streets. The
 Providence Journal, in calling atten-
 tion to the approach. of Arbor Day, said
 that Rhode Island has kept it loyalty
 since 1887. and always with enthusiasm ANew England writer truthfully re- marks that village shaded by thor oughly grown elns cannot but be handsome. F#
 Its houses may be huts; its streets may be ribbed with, rocks sor 2chan- neled with ruts; it may be as dirty as New York, and yet these vast, majestic ltabernacles of the air would redeem it to beauty. Time is the only architect | of such structures, and blessed are they for whom time was pleased to Iforethink.'' 2 s fsgs s45s Es It is not in our cities alone that the shade tree Is neglected. Many of our Pennsylvania villages are arid palaces. Farmers omit to cheer the traveller on his way by planting trees along the pathside. It is not a question of the lumber supply and the rainfall alone.
 The shady lane appeals to all for it's own sake. There should be an inexor- able law that for every tree slain an- other should be planted. It is said of I Sir Walter Scott that, after an ab- sence from home, his first duty was | to visit every tree on the estate to see
 how it was getting on. This is the friendliness which we should cultivate toward trees. If this spirit were
 abroad the city desert would bloom. I There are crawling yet upon the
 face of the earth remorseless men,
 smitten with blindness and inwardly
 dead, whose only thought of a tree is
 that it is food for the ax and the saw" Philadelphia Ledger.

OLD MILL, sAvrN ROC.
New Features This Season.

Manager Speck has also secured a part of the celebrated Hochzeit Stein (marriage stone) from the Klee Blatt mountain in Switzerland near Zurich. The legend connected with this stone is interesting. It is said that if maid, widow or spinster sits on this stone and concentrates her thoughts on the man she loves best for three minutes, he will propose to her inside of six months. This stone will arrive on the Celtic and will be put on a raised stand in front of the mill and every anxious maid, widow or spinster can test it's power free.

 s~ The opening attraction at savin Rock theater will be the Golden Gate Quar- tette and their troupe of Southern ser enaders. This is the best colored show that has ever appeared in this city. The Golden Gate ouartette has a repu- tation of being the best colored act in vaudeville, they are feature in them selves, and have been topliners at every first class vaudeville theater in Amer ica, including the B. F. Keith circuit of theaters, F. F. Proctor circuit and oth- CTS too numerous to mention. In ad- dition to their remarkable speciality, they. are also clever producers and or ganizers The organization of this com pany is entirely different from the gen 3eral run of colored troupes, there will be introduced clever specialties and big, ensembles. There are fifteen people in the company and every member is an artist in his or her respective line. Spe- cialties will be introduced by that well known trio "Yeagers Cotton Blossoms, also Muriel Ringgold, the best colored soubrette and eccentric dancer In Am erica. Those who witness this perform ance will be more than pleased with their evenings entertainment.
