CIRCUS RIpERs.

They Were Kings Of the Show In the
Old One Ring Days.
Riders at one time were the chief at
traction Of the circus and were billed
as we now bill our death defying
deeds" In the old one ring days the
whole performance was practically di-
vided between the rider and the clown.
When the rider was not riding the
clown had the ring all to himself, even
the band cessing to play until the
clown sang or got off his Jokes. after
which the rider resumed the perform
ance. All riders in those days were
champions IN the show printing, writes
Tody Hamilton in the Washington
Star.
when the late James A. Bailey made
his tour Of Australia he had Jim Robin
son, the great rider. at $500 a week,
payable in gold. The Snowman became
sick Of his bargain and tried to scare
Robinson out of 1t by dwelling on the
unhealthfulness Of the climate. He
told Robinson that it was very risky
that few people could stand 1t. But
Robinson was wise and wouldn't scare
and insisted on the terms Of the con
tract.
1t used to make Bailey turn cold to
approach Robinson on the long voy-
age every week and hand the champion
$500 III gold coin the same as II the
rider were at work, but Jim held Bailey
to his contract No rider before or
since has ever received such a salary.

The Thief Traeksrs.

A curious profession among the Be
douin is that Of the thief trackers." /"
Being without paddocks or stables and
their animals always more or less at
liberty, theft Of stock would appear to
be an easy and frequent matter. Each
tribe, however, has it's little company
of "trackers," and it would be either
a bold OF an ignorant man indeed who
ventured to. interfere with an Arabs
live stock There was one instance IN
which a camel stolen from a camp
near Ismailia was, after weeks of la
Dor, successfully tracked to the Sudan,
where the beast was recaptured and
summary vengeance wreaked upon the
robbers. Selected for natural ability
and trained from boyhood to discrimi-
nate between each animals footprint
this faculty becomes 50 highly devel-
oped that a particular horses OF cam
els trail is unerringly picked up from
among the thousands Of impressions

JueeLED HIS EYE.
Pho Trick by Which Lord WolseIsy
Conquered an Arab.


Conquered an Arab.
The loss Of an eye years ago once
stood Lord Wolseley in good stead. 1t
seemed impossible to get any informa-
tion Of the enemy's strength and the
forces under the comma n Of Arabi
Pasha. AT length an AraG Vas caught
near one Of the outposts. Naturally ex-
pecting that he would be able to give
a good deal Of information, he was
taken before Lord Wolseley, who ques-
toned him. The man, however, re-
fused to speak.
Seeing that It was useless to con-
tinue to ply him with questions, the
commander in chief resolved to use
strategy. 1T is no use your refusing
to answer me-" he said to the man, Il
am wizard, and at a single word I
can destroy you and your masters. To
prove this to you / will take out my
eye. throw 1t up into the air. catch it
and put It back into my head"
Suiting the action to the word, Lord
Wolseley removed his glass eye, threw
it into the air. caught It and put it
back into the empty socket. That dem
onstratiOn was sufficient to convert the
Arab A man who could do such a
miracle was a wizard indeed and was
to be propitiated, not angered. He ca
pitulated without further demur. and
the information he gave is said to
have led to Arabis defeat.

An Aaaravatlnq Boy.

Lord Curzon exhibited brilliant quail
tiles both at Elton and Oxford At the
same time he was by no means G
quiet. studious boy when he attended
the famous public school. One Of the
mathematical masters there told how
Curzon gave him more trouble than
any boy he ever taught "He was in
cessantly playing the fool and rag
ging' and apparently paid no attention
to what was teaching. But what
made him more especially aggravating
was that, whenever l came down on
him suddenly and asked him to go
through some difficult problem that
had been explaining, be never failed
to give me perfectly lucid and sat
isfactory proof. And very often he
was the only boy in the class who
could."-Pearson's Weekly.

An Unmusioai Variation In One Of
cottsohsIk's Concerts.
Gottschalk, the pianist, was noted
for his enormous physical strength al
most as much as for his brllliance as a
pianist. On one occasion he gave a
practical illustration Of his strength
which, while it did not display his dis
position in the most amiable light un-
doubtedly afforded him much satlsfac-
tion.
He was IN concert playing on plano
that was built on a new model, one Of
the pecuiarities Of which was that the
lip OF the keyboard cover projected far
ther over the keys than in most pianos
when the instrument was open for
playing. Gottschalk, who was aecus-
toned to throw up his hand to a con-
siderable height during the perform
ance Of brilliant passages ae was un-
used to this new form Of Keyboard,
constantly hit his knuckles against the
projecting lip
This repeated rapping Of his knuckles
at last began to have an irritating ef-
feet on him. as the audience could
plainly see. Suddenly after a partic.
ularly hard rap he stopped short in the
middle Of his selection, wrenched the
offending cover out Of the instrument
by main force and hurled It across the
platform with great violence. Then,
with a smile of the greatest satisfac-
tion, he reseated himself at the piano
and continued his playing. - Chicago

The origin of the religious practice
II fasting is very obscure. Herbert
spencer collected a considerable body
Il evidence to show that fasting may
lave arisen out of the custom among
savage peoples Of providing refresh
nents for the dead. These offerings
are often made In so lavish a manner
as necessarily to involve the survivors
IN temporary starvation, and It Is no
uncommon thing for man to ruin
himself by a funeral feast 1t is sug-
gested that the fasting which was at
FIRST the inevitable result Of such sacri-
Zee on behalf of the dead may eventu-
ally have come to be regarded as an
indispensable part Of all sacrifice and
so have survived as an established
usage long after the original cause. had
