An Indian Trick.

In the snake bag trick of the Me-
nomini Indians the performer holds
before him a red flannel bag about
thirty inches in depth by twenty
inches in width, with fluffy white
feathers along the top of the open
ing. Then he rolls the bag up into
a ball to show the audience that
there is nothing in it. Then he
takes the bag by the two upper cor
ners and holds it up before him
once more and begins to dance
around the circle, his confederate
preceding him dancing backward,
chanting with the performer and
making various gestures toward the
bag. Presently two snake heads
emerge from the top of the bag and
gradually lengthen more and more
until their bodies protrude perhaps
as much as six inches. Then the
heads slowly retreat and finally dis
appear, and the performer again
doubles up the bag to show the
spectators that there is nothing in
it.-New York Sun.

A TYPEWRITlNG POINT.
Why In Some Work Periods and COM
mas Show Black and Deep.

"When il anything typewriter
yoU see the periods and commas
punched black and deep" said an
experienced typewriter, you may
know that the work was done by a
beginner or by one who had not yet
done sufficient work to have ac-
quired a perfect touch.
'>The reason for the deep punch
Ing of the punctuation points is
very simple. Naturally enough the
beginner at typewriting plays upon
all the keys with equal force, but as
the types attached to the keys pre-
sent unequal amounts of printing
surface it follows that equal force
applied to all the keys results in
more or less unequal printing on
the PAPER.
; -'For instance, a certain amount
of force applied to the b KEY might
produce of that type fair impress
sion on the paper, but the same
force applied to period might
drive that, a mere point, clean
through the paper. In fact, it is not
unusual for beginners on the type
writer to punch holes il the paper
with their periods.
But as the learner progresses in
her art she comes to realize that
some types must be touched more
lightly than others, and gradually
her periods become less black and
deep, and with further practice she
comes instinctively, automatically,
to grade her touch on all the letters
and signs until at last she is able to
produce typewriting that is nothing
less than artistic in effect, true and
uniform and beautiful.
ut is something fine to see the
good work of the intelligent, sensi-
tive and truly competent type
writer New York Sun.

of sparks on the pine roof OF a dry
building in Summer four minutes
is amnlc to settle tic fate of the
structure despite Ill efforts to save
it.
Tl,rcc were some mcrclrous
smile, at this. The attorney took
out his watch and, handing it to
the foreman of the jury. requested
him TO announce the termination
of period of four minutes.
The jurvmen leaned over and
looked at the watch. Then they
GOT tired and settled back in their
seats. The foreman of the jury
lowered his hand as the signal of
the beginning of the four minutes
and then rested it on his knee. The
attorney shifted his feet few times
and sat down. The judge looked at
the clock awhile and then gazed
abstractedly out of the window. A
deputy marshal looked in at the
door to see what was the matter
and patiently awaited the result OF
the curious scene. Nearly every
man in the courtroom had watch
in his hand, carefully studying the
face of it. The counsel for the
plaintiff was sacrificing four min
utes of his time. But he felt that
they were well invested.
At last the foreman of the jury
announced the termination of the
test: TO every person in the room
the four minutes had seemed at
least twice as long. The judge
himself afterward said that it seem
ed something like fifteen. The or
deal had the effect upon>the jury
that the attorney had calculated.
1t was an object lesson, a striking
e1emplifcation of what might hap
pen in four minutes.
Accordingly the jury found that
the defendants engine had sutti-
cient time in which to fire the
building and that the fire had am
pie time in which to get under way
and create a blaze which the men
on the train could see. A verdict
for damages was brought in to the
amount Of some $4,000. - New
