THE HIND0o FAKIR.
His Patience and Skill In the Bag and
Spear Trick

His Patience and skill In the Bag and
Spear Trick.
The feat known as the bag and spear
trick has been considered one of the
greatest of the Hindoo magician's art
In this trick, says writer, the Hindoo
fakir has his assistant get into a sack,
the mouth OF which he firmly secures,
and then unceremoniously hurls his
helpless victim to the ground. With
out a sign Of warning the fakir drives
his spear through the center of the
bag
After withdra wing his weapon, upon
the point of which no blood stain ap-
pears. the fakir stands and gaZes
dreamily over the heads of the specta-
tors. The body within the bag foun-
ders about as If In mortal agony. At
last, when the occupant is apparently
dead, the fakir again plunges his spear
into the motionless body. The same
antics are repeated. Then the fakir
releases his attendant from the bag,
and he steps out without scratch
upon his body.
Although the trick is performed with
all the carelessness imaginable, 1t calls
for more patience, skill and exactness
than any of the so called black art
achievements. From the time the at
tendant enters the bag both fakir and
assistant count every breath they take.
When a stated number of breaths have
been taken the fakir makes his thrust,
and the occupant In the bag is pre-
pared to avoid it. Then the count be-
gins again, and at the proper time the
spear is driven through the bag a
second time. In order to evade the
spear and make 1t appear to pass
through his body the assistant doubles
up in as small a form as possible. His
legs are drawn up close, with the chin
resting upon the knees and the arms
folded round the lower limbs across
the shins. When in this position, at
the fiftieth breath. the spear passes
under the attendants arms between
the abdomen and the thighs.
The slightest miscaleulation by either
the fakir or his assistant would mean
a serious If not mortal wound for
one and an unheard of disgrace for the
other.
That fakir and attendant are able so
to train themselves TO breathe In per
feet unison while giving one of these
performances. when the slightest varia-
ton in time by either would be fatal.
Is certainly wonderful

favor of the cunning pewter cream
pots with which the tables were sup
piled, calmly carried one away in her

A Pittsburg bachelor, wandering into
a restaurant, came upon a friend just
seating himself with two ladies. The
bachelor was invited to join the party,
did so, and at the end of the luncheon
insisted upon paying the costs. The
bill being wrong, he went to the cash
ier's desk to personally adjust the dis
crepancy, where he was informed that
the extra charges were for spoons
which the ladies' had put in their hand
bags. Aud that was the first time he
had ever met them!

Governor Warheld of Maryland has
during his administration stood firmly
for road Improvement and Is one OF
the most ardent advocates of adopting
measures to carry on the work In MS
state. The governor recently said;
Good roads cost money, but they
are far less expensive to the public
than bad roads, The roads which the
state geological survey commission are
constructing cost no more than similar
roads north and south and will prove
q permanent Investment for the people
of the stnte. 1t is far more eeonom-
ical in the long run to build highways
that require but small amount OF
maintenance than TO construct cheap
temporary structures that will con.
stantly require repair, to say nothing
OF the comfort and pleasure to be de-
rived from smooth, dry roads"
