JUGGLING
TALES
By
Paul Cinqueva1li
I5V

A JUGGLER nowadays must among other quail
n iCations be a with ideas; if he only
perform a few feats, matter how wonderful and
clever they may be- he will never win a great repu-
tatiOn
| have never been troubled with lack of ideas
for feats; but many of them have taken a tTe
mendous time to master completely. Ideas for
feats come to in all sorts of ways. For example,
when | balancing a large wooden ball on top of
a stick day just for practice the ball slipped
and fell on the back of my neck without hurting
me in the least 1t then at occurred to that
if | could catch a ball by accident the back of my
neck without hurting myself | ought to be able to
do the same thing any time | wanted to- SO L
threw the ball up in the air tried to catch it on the
same place did not quite succeed, and was knocked
senseless the floor This determined me to master
the art of catching ball my neck without hurt
ing myself. The difficulty to be overcome was to
catch the ball on the right place; eighth of an
inch to the right left if heavy ball IS used, means
instant death. So | began to practise with fairly
light one and as grew perfect, used a heavier
ball until | able to catch a sxty-pOund cannon
ball my neck the right place with as much
certainty as ! can place hat on my head 1t took
about year to master this feat. Though by
means the most difficult feat in my repertoire 1t
certainly the most popular, probably because 1t
looks such a dangerous thing TO do.
Another feat came into my head one day when l
was at dinner. 1t struck was cutting po
tato that it would be rather a nice notion to cut
the potato in two in the air and catch the two por
tions on the knife and fork | made note OF the

When the Trick Wouldn't Work

A POPULAR feat is balancing top hat on an
umbrella. On the hat IS placed a halfcrown
and cigar. toss the lot IN the air and catch the
cigar in my mouth the halfcrown in my eye. and
the hat on my head.
n rather funny incident occurred in connection
with this feat some years ago, when | was playing
in pantOmime at Manchester. In the third scene |
came a waiter and performed all sorts of antics
with cups plates, and sauCers; then funny man
on, who challenged me to perform the trick
with the hat cigar, and halfcrown. I'm give you
the halfcrown," the man would say, If you catch
it in your right eye"
performed the feat; but caught the coin in my
left eye.
exclaim You have caught it in your left instead
of your right eye"
Then | would say, That is easily altered" and

able to do it fairly accurately after month; but it
took two years work before felt justified in doing
the feat in public.
There are some feats that venture perform in
public only in the winter. One of them IS balancing
the thin end of a billiard my nose; then
let the slide down my and bring it up
again balanced on the heavy end. This is extremely
difficult, and if the should become in the least bit
sticky. it IS likely do in hot weather it would
not slide with sufficient smoothness or rapidity to
dred times before breakfast, it is splendid for
keeping the eye in training.

Luxuries Become Commonplace

THE adorable inconsistency" novelists rave
about in their women may be all right in homeo-
pathic doses administered at long intervals; but
for steady diet it doesn't appeal to me. l am very
fond of canvasback duck when | can afford it; but
| should not like to have to eat every day for
a month.
Matrimony seems to be like the Boston woman $
description of her native city: a stat OF mind
haven't the matrimonial state of mind nor have L
ever been anxious to cultivate it. Of course, can
imagine a combination in a single woman that
would make marriage the fine thing that many
people find It But if a possessing all these
qualities and attributes should imagine that she
could be content with husband, should
straightway lose all confidence in her intuition and
be sure there was some undiscovered thing wrong.
There really doesn't seem to be much hope for me.
There is possibility always of endowing woman
with irresistible charms out of the luXur1ance OF
ones own imagination The most prosaic, matter
of fact, dough minded creature that ever wore
trousers can do that. It's one of the things the
Complete Bachelor guards against. Henry James,
perhaps the most perfect bachelor in our language
once said that when the flower of love bOssomed in
his heart he forthwith pluCked it forth to analyze
and disseCt it, and SO it was always destroyed.
That is a common method of bachelors to safeguard
themselves though else has ever expressed
the idea SO charmingly The who cleaves to
his sngleness is afraid to give his imagination full

and that the time may come that he will feel as
Tannhauser said to the very tace OF his spouse:

You are but a She devil
Such things have happened, I've been told, out
side of mythology.
that there are few women of the kind one considers
for wife who could deserve the Tannhauserlan re-
prOaCh. | and most of my kind are fond OF taking
an atruistic stand, by declaring that one reason
Tybv We do not marry is because we don't want to
make some good woman unhappy which is another
way of saying that | am thinking chiefly OF myself
Were | married and made my wife miserable, as L
probably should good part of the time, 1t would
make me desperately unhappy, and think more of
that than of how 1t would affect her. Most OF US
are built that way, fancy. And II changed my
ways to meet the matrimonial conditions, L should
be uncomfortable all the time. 1t isn't the big
rifCes that difficult, but the constant succession
of the small, every day ones. rs an English groom
put it, 1t ayn't the jumping urdes that urts the

The Enthusiasm of Ignorance
THE man with the matrimonial state OF mind is
always dead certain that he is going to make
his wife beatihcally happy all the time. When the
actual experience proves differently, ne places the
blame on her, rule. If he had little less
thus1asm and little more COmmOnsense, the shock
wouldn't be SO great when he woke up. 1t Is a
curious thing, this enthusiasm of ignorance.
The man with deep understanding and broad

earnestness, with full appreciation of its possbil

The man who marries IS like the Doge who weds the

pearls, monsters, unknown storms
The normal man has faith in the treasures and
perils, faith in his ability to overcome the mon

MINING STUDENTS
TO co ON A TRIP
Twenty-Five Seniors will In
SpeCt Properties in Butte
and Occur d'AIeneS.

twenty-five seniors of the state school
Of mines will leave this morning for an
examination Of the coal mines of Sunny
side, in Carbon county. This trip is the
second one of a large number scheduled
for this years miners, the first of the
series having been made two weeks ago
to the Mercur gold camp. Succeeding
trips will be made to Park City, Tintic,
Bingham, and a final one to Butte and
the Occur d'A]enes.
1.-The state school of mines can boast
of having the best location of any min
ing school in the United States, and full
advantage is being taken of the oppor-
tunities." said Professor Fred J. Pack
last night. within easy access Of Salt
Lake there is practically every type of
mining activity. The great cyanide
plants at Mercur and Sunshine are prac-
tically unparalleled in the west; the
enormous copper deposits at Bingham,
with their methods of mining, stand al
most alone, while the lead, silver and
copper deposits Of Park City and Tin
tic are the best Of their type. The coal
deposits Of the state offer excellent op-
pOrtunities for the study of that branch
Of mining.
Almost on every hand Utah presents
superlative conditions in the mining in
dustries and, what perhaps is best of all,
the Utah engineering students are made
welcome wherever they go. The min
ing operators have universally coop
Grated with the school in making these
outside trips successful
The seniors today go out under the
direction Of DR.. Fred J. Pack of the de-
partment of geology, DR.. R. H. Brad
ford Of the department Of metallurgy,
Professor E. H. Beckstrand Of the de-
partment Of mechanical engineering and
Theodore 2. Holt Of the department of
mining. Robert Forester, geologist of
the Utah Fuel company, who will ac-
company the party, is doing everything
possible to make the trip pleasant and
successful.
The miners will return Saturday
night, after having made an examina-
ton Of the coal mines of Sunnyside. A
complete report will be made, including
the geological, metallurgical, mechan-
zeal and mining features.

ISSUES REPORT ON
FRUIT INSPECTION
County HOrtiCuIturiSt Active in

ticultaral inspectors out of a total of
14,244 bushels shipped into Salt Lake,
as shown in the report of John P. So
rensen, county inspector, submitted to

10,S0O bushels, several odd shipments
less than carloads containing 1,024 bush
els, and sixty-four wagon loads con-
tanning 2,420 bushels; a total of 14,244
bushels. OF these 1,033 bushels were
quarantined and sorted and ia bushels

cars from Colorado, only passable;
three cars from Idaho, good; two cars
from Sanpete, tOlerable; one car from
Ogden, fair; one car from Provo, and
one car from Emery, hardly passable.
There were 1150O6 trees dug in the
nurseries; $4,000 of them were inspected
and fumigated where needed, and most
of them delivered and sent to custom
ers. The Others about 100000 trees,
were stored in houses for further in
spection, sorting and fumigating.
''The deputy inspectors worked a to-
tai Of sixty days, as follows: One, TWEEN
ty days, mostly in the nurseries; an
other nineteen days, mostly at the mar
ket, changing off with myself in the
forepart Of the month. when the morn
ing market work was very early and
heavy. He was also assisting in car
load work and in the inspection Of
wholesale stores. He also went to
Bingham, and with the assistance of a
deputy sheriff went through that camp.
The other three deputies worked, one,
eight days; one, seven days, and one
six days. going through the county and
the peddlers' wagons in their districts.
The Improvement, both in fruit and
packing and marketing, is very graft
flying this month
