gestures toward the bag. Presently
two snake heads emerge from the top
Of the bag and gradually lengthen more

Their mission had q certain effect, which
for a day last week seemed threatening
to the youthful reformers. Stirred by
the stories Of the spies the old Albanian
chiefs sent for the members of the Young
Turk committee at M~itrovitza, told them
that they had heard that the Sultan would
be as~sassinated, or at least dothroned.
and demanded assurances that he would
not be molested and would DO allowed to
remain Padisha, supreme religious head
Of the nation. To this the ever ooncilia-
tory Young Turks agreed, givirg assur-
ance In writing.
A curious fact In this present crisis
In Turkey, one which promises to saw
the throne to Abdul Hamid, Is the faith
and confidence Of the Moslems in Abdul
Hamid. The ignorant masses, whom
the Sultan has seen ft to deprive Of educa-
ton for his own purposes, believe that
the old order Of things q came nor
could have come from their divine re-
ligious head, the v~ice-resent Of Moham-
med; and it would be dangerous for the
Young Turk who dared to tell them that
the palace clique who surrounded the Sui
tan were men Of his own making and his
choice, who seldom acted but at his bid
ding, and that men who now endeavor
to stir up trouble In Albania are doing
only perhaps what he. Abdul Hamid.
would have them do.

which Abdul Hamid has always kept

All Uskub in these days goes to the

There could be. however, no choice
Of musicians from the single band Of the

Cramped Hand stood some fifteen feet
away and threw the stone at Bent Horn.
The stone hit Bent Horn fairly in the

In 1872 Mr.. Dorsey obtained from Big
Grizzly Bear, a subordinate Ponka chief
an account OF other tricks performed by
Whip, a head chief.
One day Whip said: Il am going to
pull out some of the hair Of the man in the
moon.' He held up his hands to show
that he had no hair in them. Then he
began to sing. Suddenly he had some
bloody hair in each hand.
Once when the Ponka we're destitute of
food Buffalo Bull, the father of Grizzly
Bears Ear, said Il will use magic His
wife said, please do So So he made
q pill Of earth about two feet high and
shot four arrows into it. A large deer
vas slain, furnishing them with plenty Of
meat.
In 1882 at the Kaw agency Nixudje-
yinve, the chief of the Wakandagi or
shamans Of the Kansa, gave Mr.. Dorsey
an account Of several Kansa magicians
and their tricks.
A woman named Sa-si lie had two makan
(medicine fetishes). which she used for
"ickade" or ~@wakandaga wagaxe" (magic,
shamanistic ~legerdemain). She could
swallow a knife, and when she swallowed
a certain kind OF grass she drew out a
green snake from her mouth.
Gahige-Wadayinga used to stab him
self with an arrow point six inches long,
causing the blood to squirt from his left
shoulder as he danced. The other sha-
mans used to squirt water on his back
from their mouths while he held his arms
forearms pointing upward. Whom they
had finished no wound could be found.
Mange-zi had a clamshell and q snake
which he used in his sleight Of hand acts.
He swallowed a kind OF green grass about
a foot long and as thick AZ a pencil. Be
fore swallowing it he warmed II at a fire,
He rubbed himself on the chest after
swallowing it. saying, "Let all look al
mel"
Then he called q man TO act as his as
sistant. He coughed and in the assist.
ants hand there was a snake. which he
took around the circle showing 1t to every
one. On his returning the snake tc
coughed up the long grass.
Several years ago Col. Garrick Mallory

he said:

London Pretty Gay.
From the Geniietromdn.

There Is no sort Of doubt that London
is a much gayer and more attractive oapi-
tai than it used to be. We borrowed our
idea Of living at restaurants from Paris
and now we seem to have gone one better,
for we can boast quite q ~bewildering num-
Der Of gay places to dine and sup q.
that our London season is longer and de-
cidedly moro brilliant than that Of Paris.
Here too Americans have Of late years
been most warmly welcomed In social
circles, far more so than they are in the
best French society.
The consequence is that rich Americans

Performances by North American Indians
Which Rival the Tricks OF the Jugglers

ances and Other Mysterious Medicine.
The world is accustomed to look to
the Orient for tales of feats Of magic,
but it seems to have passed almost un-
noticed that the North American Indians
have from time immemorial supplied
accounts OF magicians and jugglers
whose tricks rival anything produced
by the Orientals.
Magicians and jugglers we're found
among the Indians by the Jesuit mission
aries as early as 1918. and they were com
mon among all the Algonquin tribes. and
Charlevoix mentions them among the
Iroquois in 1885. The Spaniards met
them in Mexico and South America.
Alexander Philip Macmillan, Prince
~ Wied. who travelled in America about
1870. gives the following account Of the
Mandan and Hidatsa jugglers:

relates that in 1871 he saw Cramped Hand

around a tent in which sat the shamans

Presently the shamans and the agec
chief, Antoine Primeau, came out Of the
tent and stood within the circle. Crampeo
