Greatly Desired Lady.

1t would appear from bits Of the So
cial gossip of her day that Miss Bur-
dett-Coutts' nearest approach to an
occupation was refusing offers OF
marriage. 1t is stated that the name
OF the Prince of Adventures" was
connected with hers; that she re-
fused the duke of Wellington and
score of lesser gentlemen.
For years the great heiress was the
most glittering matrimonial prize in
England, and when at last she con-
scented to change her condition by
marrying an American, London club
wit struck a responsive chord by OBJ
serving, II don't blame Ashmead Bart
lett for proposing to the baroness.
I've done it myself regard it as a
duty every Englishman owes to his
family."-"Intimate Memoirs of Napo-

the audience, the magician quickly un.
ties his hands and throws the rope up
on the floor. Fig shows the two
wrists bound together, and Fig. 5
shows how one wrist is first tied and
the little trick necessary to make pos
sible the untying feat. Hold your left
hand before you while the person ties
the rope about the wrist. Then quick
ly place your hands behind you, make
two or three twists in the ends of the
rope with your right hand, as shown
in Fig. 8, and bring the right wrist
against the knot on the left wrist In
such a manner as 70 conceal the
twists In the rope Then turn your
back towards the audience and allow
the right wrist to be bound TO the left
one. Several knots may be tied in
the rope il the person wishes to tie
them. When you turn your back away
from the audience again, it is of course
only necessary to turn the right wrist
around so as to undo the twists which
you secretly made in the rope; then
the loop will be plenty large enough
to slip the hand out OF it. With the
right hand released it Is easy to unite
all of the knots and remove the rope
from the left hand.
Turning Paper Into Coffee.
The trick of turning paper into cof-
fee is simple magic. Two baking
powder cans of equal size, a cover
small enough to set into the top OF
one can, napkin or towel, and an
empty hat-box filled with cut paper
are the necessary pieces Of apparatus.
Trim about "a inch from the edge OF
the can cover, with the exception of
two little flaps which should be bent
out sideways as shown In Fig. z. The
purpose OF the flaps is to support the
cover in an inverted position upon
the rim OF one OF the cans. Before
the performance, fll one of the baking
powder cans with hot coffee, set the
cover In the top, I'LL the cover with the
cut paper, and conceal the can inside
OF the box OF cut paper Pass the
empty can among the audience for in
spection, then stepping back to your
table on which the box Of cut paper
has been placed, hold the can down
into the box and scoop up several
handfuls OF cut paper and drop 1t
into the can. Instead OF removing
this can from the box after filling it,
lift out the can containing the cofree.
AS the inverted cover is filled with pa.
per no one will suspect the change.
Cover the napkin over the can, and
announce that the transformation
from paper to coffee is about to take
place; then pass your magic wand
over the top, and lift off the napkin.
removing with it the inverted cover
by catching hold OF the ends OF the
projecting tabs. II the coffee has not
been allowed to stand too long, 1t will
be steaming-hot when exposed to view.

CANDY GIVEN BABY BRIDES
Indian Infants Bestowed In Marriage
Almost Before They Are Able
to Walk.

Four hundred weddings were cele-
brated simultaneously one day recent
ly at Surat, India, among members Of
the Lewa Kunbi caste.
None Of the brides was over twelve
years of age, the majority being from
one to seven years old, while the
bridegrooms varied from three to
nine years.
Most of the contracting parties sat
or lay on the laps OF their parents
during the ceremony, and were given
sweets to keep them quiet.
The caste only celebrates weddings
every ten or twelve years. 1t is quite
a common thing for the children OF
the caste to be married when they
are only four ave or six years of age,
but marriages at an earlier age than
four are exceptional.
These baby brides, OF course, do
not join their husbands when they
are married. They wait until they
reach the age OF ten or eleven, when
there is a second marriage.
Should a baby brides husband die
before she reaches the age or the sec
ond marriage. she becomes wild
ow. and has to remain so all her
life.
In such cases the widow at once
loses caste. Her ornaments are taken
on her and she becomes a sort OF
outcast, looked down upon and gem
orally made household drudge.
The husband, on the other hand,
should his baby bride die before the
second marriage, may marry again.
In fact. he is expected to do so with.
in few months Of the death OF the
bride.
II he does not marry again within
few months, he loses caste His
fellows refuse to smoke or drink viii

MORE HOLIDAY MAGIC.

The paper shower is a trick that
ing the last few years by number OF
magicians, and it's simplicity makes
1t good trick for the boy magician
In performing this trick the magician
holds up before his audience three
pieces of paper OF different colors
folds the strips into wad, and drops
the wad into a fruit-iar containing
water. In minute or two he removes
the wad and taking it in his left hand
picks up a fan in his right hand and
fans the wad, informing the audience
as he does this that they will be sur
prised to see how quickly the wet pa
per dries. Almost instantly particles
Of paper begin TO fly out Of the left
hand, and in few seconds a shower
OF fine bits of colored paper flutter in
all directions Gig. -. OF course the
paper does not come from the soaked
paper wad, but from a small sack of
confetti, or paper bits which you have
prepared yourself. This sack must be
made of tissue paper, so as TO be cas-
lily broken, and it must be pinned to
your coat sleeve directly under the
armpit of the right arm, In such a
manner that it cannot be seen by
your audience. The sack is taken in
to the left hand in this manner. When
you reach down into the fruit-jar TO
pick up the wad Of paper which you
have dropped into 1t, make a pretense
of pulling up your right sleeve with
your left hand, to keep it out of the
water, and run your hand far enough
up to enable you to take hold OF the
sack OF paper and conceal 1t in the
hand. After squeezing some of the
water from the wad Of paper, the wsd
is supposedly transferred to the left
hand, but It in reality remains in the
right hand Quickly pick up a fan
from the table. and fan toward the left
hand, and squeeze the sack until the
tissue paper bursts and the confetti is
exposed to the breeze from the fan.
The breeze OF course blows the paper
away from your hand. but the audi
ence must be impressed with the idea
that the purpose of the fan is only to
dry the wet paper.

contrary, put why in this progressive
age should courts and lawyers be com
pelled, in many cases to follow made
quate laws that were formulated one
hundred years ago
Much has been written that con-
yeys a vague and distorted idea OF
prison management and of modern
penology There is nothing vague or
mysterious about it. Modern penology
consists merely in treating convicts
ike men rather than like hopeless
)utcasts. 1t consists in caring for
them carefully in times of sickness;
giving them plenty of food and work
in the open air; affording opportuni-
ties for self-improvement, both physi-
cal and mental; and in assisting those
eligible to a parole to obtain a first
friend and desirable employment, and
in creating in the prison an atmos-
phere of cheerfulness and helpfulness.
Modern penology is just every day
helpfulness applied in the place where
it is most needed. Obviously it is
thing to be sought and encouraged"

Fig. 2, and then with q coin in the

wheel spin around. The direction OF

necessary to allow the first finger to
rub along the upper edge Of the
notches; while to make II reverse.

stick below tho notches adds to the

FASCINATION OF THE POPPY
Same as II Has on the
Human Race.

The direful effects of opium upon
animals and the fearful temptation it
is TO some of them are set forth in a
recent number Of the French Gazette
des Hopitaux, which quotes some
strange evidences gathered by Francis
GARNER in China in 1873
The culture of the poppy" writes
GARNER, has caused most important
article-wax-to disappear from the
market of Yunnan. According 10 the
natives, the bees, formerly very nu-
merous in this part of China, have
experienced for the poppy flower the
same morbid liking that the Chinese
feel for the juice that is drawn from
its fruit. In the season when the
poppy fields are in bloom these insects
come in crowds to ransack them, but
they are unable afterward to regain
their taste for other food, and they
perish after two successive seasons.
Another example of this singular
attraction that the poppy exerts upon
animals as well as upon men was
called to our attention. In an opium
refinery In the city it was noticed that
the rats came every evening in great
numbers to SNUFF the fumes that arose
from the furnaces. Following the sud-
den occupation of Yunnan by the Mo
hammedans the refinery was closed
down and was abandoned for a time.
When a new owner took possession he
found upon the waiting that remained
in place many dead rats. These had
died of hunger while waiting for the
pleasure they had been accustomed to
enjoy in breathing the opium fumes"

According to o. NJ. Barnes of the
state tax commission certain public
service corporations assessed on an
ad valorem basis, are due for sub
stantial boosts in valuation when the
tentative assessment is made public
January Is, while the assessments of
other corporations will be materially
decreased.
The force of the state tax commits
sion is working now on the tentative
assessment of the railroads, telegraph
and telephone companies and other
corporations taxed on an ad valorem
basis, but nc ngdres will be obtain
able until the tentative report is ready
January 10.
Some of the railroads in the upper
peninsula who were big money MAX
ers during the days when the lumber
ing industry was at it's height will
probably have their valuations re-
duced in many instances, as Commits
sioner Barnes says that some OF the
roads are now operating at a loss
and that the property has deprecated
in value to a considerable extent.
