INDIAN JUGGLERY.
How Water Was Drawn From an
Empty Coooanut Shell.

How Water Was Drawn From an
Empty Coooanut Shell.
Here Is a tale of Indian jugglery.
The trick described is new to me
and is given on the best. authority in
a letter from India:
81 tell it as it was told to me the
day after. Witnesses-Mr. S. s.,
Mrs. S. s., three English girls, from
fourteen to eleven; an American
dentist called Durand and half a
hundred villagers. Locale-A road
side in Saugor. S. S. says:
"Yesterday we were all march
ing in from Khimlasa when we pass
ed village, and on the roadside a
juggler was resting. We said to
him, "Jugglep and he did the finest
trick I've ever seen on the bare
madam. We stood within six feet
Of him all around him all the time,
and he was half naked. He took
rudely carved little boat, empty
and unlocked, about 8 by 4
inches, with one thwart across it,
with hole for a mast. We all ex-
amined this boat and handed it
around. 1t was empty. He then
stuck a thin bamboo stick about two
feet long in the hole and then took
cocoanut and handed it around.
This cocoanut was empty, with three
holes in it. 1t was a small one, and
we all saw and felt it was empty He
then stuck the nut on the bamboo
and stuck a little bamboo spout in
one hole of the nut and stood five
yards off and said, "Spout" And
it spouted water like / o'clock for
long TIME. i v-ps.id, stE5tvp!,' and 10
stopped. "Spoutp and it spouted.
1t spouted much more water than
could have been in the nut or boat.
When it stopped and the man was
going Durand said, "You can't get
another drop out of it now" SO
the old man called for one of
Mrs. 8. SIS breakfast cups, put it
under the spout, went away as be
fore, said, Spout" and it filed the
cup over the brim. All the time the
old man, who had a monkeys skull
with him, kept on saying, "Bandar
ka kopra" monkeys skulD over and
over again" - Andrew Lang in
Longman's Magazine.

Woodstock, w., Aug. S, 1905

A movement is said to be on foot
to secure the enactment of a law pro-
hibiting the use of narrow roads by
automobiles. The oranges are taking
the matter up and it will be pushed
until the legislature meets next year.
1t is not the intention to keep the
steam and gasoline wagons off any
main highways, but it Is an easily
demonstrated fact that many of our
hill roads are too narrow to admit
of the passing of machine and horse
at the same time; hence the persist
emit protest from the jewellers on the
hills, who have to depend on their
four-footed friends for transportation.
All this seems to be in the line of
reasonable anti-automobile leGisln-
ton. The horse owners are tremen-
dously in the majority-about two
hundred to one, say, in Woodstock,
for instance, and they will approach
the Legislators with some show of
success.

The Governorship in 1906.

yet we are guessing that no kind
of combination will be able to keep
the people from electing Fletcher
Proctor governor in 1906, if he wants
the office. Watch out for signs. -
Essex County Herald.
We are guessing that there is no
considerable number of people anx-
ious to elect Proctor, and it all de-
ponds upon the ability of his heelers
to pull the wires that work the con-
vention. Vermont Union Signal.

Trivial Causes.

In most unhappy marriages the
cause Of evil has been trivial. As
Steele says, the first maxim In a
married mans condition is that hus-
band and wife should be above tri-
f1es. When two persons have 80
good an opinion of each other as to
come together for life they will not
differ in matters of Importance, be-
cause they think of each other with
respect and are prepared for mutual
assistance and relief. But for small
er matters they have made no prep
arations, and hence springs the mis-
chief.

The Burlington Clipper thinks
there should be an issue in the COM
ing gubernatorial campaign; so does
the Mortified News, and also asks
Fletcher Proctor--who seems to be
the only candidate in sight-what he
thinks about prohibition VS.. tho To-
cal option law. The st. Adams Mes
senger says the liquor question is
not an issue, but this might depend
ON Col. Proctor's declaration of prin-
ciples, should he make bid for the
governorship. If he declares I'M
compromisingly for prohibition and
the repeal of the present law, the
the liquor question will become a
mighty important issue - serious
enough, perhaps, to affect his stand
ing in the convention. If, on the
other hand, he thinks the present
law should be let alone now, there
would doubtless be little talk about
the rum question as an issue, though
the prohibitionists may be arming
for an attack on the Legislature.
The Age is inclined to believe that
the people don't want change next
year, and any prospective candidates
must adapt themselves to circum-
stances the best they can.

 THE 'INVESTIGATOR"

THERE are the very best of reasons for believing that the charges which have been made against the officials of the Third division-graft and corrup- tion-will receive an extensive congress sional airing. Such course is justih- able and necessary, owing to the per- sistent attitude of the president in up holding the unsavory report of Special Investigator Day, relative to the judiciary of the Third division. The corrupt methods adopted by Day in se- curing data from which to compile his report, together with the jobbery of others closely connected herewith, should be given the greatest publicity.
 Such corrupt schemes as have been planned and executed by Wickersham and his henchmen, should not be con- doned nor permitted to receive the en- dorsement of the president, without the matter receiving thorough public ex- posture of the unjust official manipula- tions connected herewith. The re- marks of Special U. s. Attorney Heney at San Francisco, recently, are justly applicable to the existing state of af- fairs in the Wickersham administl ation and Days investigation thereyf. Re- ferring to frauds against the govern ment, Attorney Heney said: 'sThe trouble is that we have one thousand officials who are passively dishonest to one who is actively honestp'
 There are inspectors of the different departments for the express purpose of preventing and detecting frauds again st the government. When these offic- ials fail to detect and report existing frauds and corruption, it follows that either bribery, incompetency or self implication prevents them from action.
