MAGIC WRITING.

In this game confederate Is neces-
sary. The player states to the com
pany after few remarks on ancient
sign language that he is able to read
signs made with a stick on the floor
and agrees to leave the room while the
company decides upon some word or
sentence
The game Is played as follows: 1t Is
agreed by the player and his confeder-
ate that one tap on the floor shall rep
resent A, two taps X, three taps |, four
taps o and five taps u and that the
first letter of each remark the confed-
crate makes shall be one Of the conso-
nants of the word or sentence decided
upon by the company. The consonants
must be taken in order. On the play
ers return, supposing the word chosen
to be March" his confederate would
commence: "Many people think this
game a deception" 0nitial letter M.
One tap on the floor (A). "Really it IL
very simple" Gnltial letter r. Com
ing to the end soon" Qnltlal letter @,
"Hope 1t has been quite clear Qnitial
letter III.
A few more signs are made so as not
TO finish too abruptly, and the player
then states the word to be March
lie carefully conducted this game Will
interest an audience for considerable
time.

A Rem arkable Escspe.

During the reign OF terror In Paris
one OF the most remarkable escapes
was that of NJ de Chateaubrun. He
was sent to execution with twenty
other prisoners, but after the fifteenth
head had fallen the guillotine got out
of order and a workman was sent for
to repair 1t. The six remaining VIC
tins were left standing in front Of the
machines with their hands tied behind
them. A French crowd Is very Gu
rious, and the people kept pressing
forward to see the man arranging the
guillotine. BY degrees NJ. de Chateau
brnn, who was to the rear Of his COM
panions, found himself In the front
line Of the spectators, then in the sec
ond and finally well behind those who
had come to see his head cut off. Be
fore the men could get the gulllotine
In working order night began to fall,
ana M. de Chateaubrun slipped away.
When In the Champs Elysees he told
a man that wag had tied his hands
and robbed him Of his hat, and this
simple individual set him free. A few
days later NJ. de Chateaubrun escaped
from France.

Trick For Christmas.

Place an empty high hat on the ta-
Bile. Show large handkerchief on
both sides to convince your audience
that there has been no preparation for
this trick. Then from the folds OF
this same handkerchief the performer
produces walnut, which he let's drop
into the hat The handkerchief Is now
crumpled up and displayed again, and.
10, another nut is produced. Thus he
goes on until dozen nuts are dropped
into the hat. Next turn the hat upside
down, and again a surprise awaits the
audience, as the hat Is quite empty.
The secret of the trick depends on
nut suspended by a thread the color
Of the handkerchief attached to the
edge In this condition the nut IL
held in one hand with that corner Of
the handkerchief, and both sides OF the
handkerchief are shown and shaken
out; then the nut is dropped behind the
handkerchief unseen. Dropping one
corner and holding the handkerchief
between the tips of one finger and
thumb, the performer first lifts the nut
out of one of the folds in which it gets
concealed; then he drops 1t into the
hat, afterward picking up the hand
kerchief by two corners in such man
ner that when 1t fs lifted above the hat
the nut is inylsibly dragged behind 1t
and the production repeated as often
as desired.

FURTHER DECLINES WHEAT IS STRONG

Market Which Was Subjected
to Another Overhaulirg.

New York, Dec. 1.-The stock mar
ket was subjected to another over

which prices fell with some precipi-
tation. The movement at times was
strongly suggestive or urgent liqnida-
ton, to which the extensive selling

should, under ordinary conditions,

With or without reason there Is a
fast growing belief that conditions In

sources OF labor troubles in the neal

was one Of the most noticeable fea

The weakness early resulted in the
main from increased estimates Of the
Argentina export surplus. There was
a temporary rally, due to the falling
off in stocks at Liverpool and to the
less favorable crop conditions in
Russia. Other facts encouraging to
the buyers were the French pur.
lchases at Liverpool, the belief that
the big increase here had gone into
strong hands, and the reports that
water was being hauled by Kansas
, farmers because of tle excessively
dry weather. Then came the Okla

and the latest sales were virtually at

The Starting an unwei-
come English Invader.

1t may interest young bird lovers to
know that the United States depart
ment of agriculture has forbidden the
importation of the English starting.
The reason for this Is that 1t promises
to become as great pest as the Eng
fish sparrow. 1t destroys vast num-
bers of larvae, but attacks fruits, caus-
ing great loss In orchards. 1t also eats
the young and eggs of other birds. 1t
was brought to this country In 1890,
when sixty birds were released in Cen
trail park, New York city. Since then
it has increased prodigiously.
At distance the startling resembles
a blackbird, but on near approach Its
plumage has greenlsh glosp, show
ling bronze reflections, while on the
back are arrowhead spangles Of brown.
Its bill Is bright yellow. Outing.

Due Precautions.

In a town In Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge Of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived 1t to DO place where, IL
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled or his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon under
the pines In his shirt sleeves. At the
close of the open mir service one of
his admirers approached him and said
regretfully:
II don't suppose You knew that the
editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat
II reckon knew 1t well, for I'd been
told Of it." said the preacher calmly.
II don't believe he's as bad as he
might be, and anyway put my coat
on the chair close by and had 1t right
under my eye all the time" youths
