EAST INDIAN MAGIC.
The Clever Dry Sand Trick and the
Way II 10 Performed.

The Clever Dry Sand Trick and the
Way It is Performed.
A very clever trick often seen In In.
dia is the following, which is known as
the "dry sand trick"
The fakir brings forward pail,
which be proceeds to I'll with water.
He then shows some ordinary sand,
quite dry. To prove its dryness he
takes up a handful and, blowing sharp
ly upon 1t, scatters 1t in all directions
He then takes up another handful and
drops 1t into the water, We can all see
1t lying in the bottom of the pail under
the water. Next, showing his hands
empty, he places one in the pail and
brings out a handful of the sand.
Blowing upon 1t, 1t still scatters in all
directions, showing 1t to be as dry as
ever. This is repeated several times
until all the sand is again extracted.
This clever trick is performed In the
following manner: Fine. clean sand is
selected, washed carefully In hot wa
ter several times and dried in the sun.
Some Of this sand is then placed in
frying pan with lump Of fresh lard
and Is cooked until all the lard is burn
ed away. The result is that every par.
ticle of sand is covered with thin
coating of grease, SO that when this
sand is dropped into the water 1t re-
mains dry.--Scientifc American.

ORIGIN OF A NOTED PHRASE.
I'D Never Allow the Constitution to
Come Between Friends"

nd Never Allow the Constitution to
Come Between Friends"
In one session of the legislature the
New York city Democratic representa-
tives were split into two camps, and
there were two rivals for leadership.
One Of these was thoroughly good
hearted. happy-go-lucky person who
was afterward for several years In
congress. He had been a local magis-
trate and was called judge. He was
always willing to vote for any other
members bill himself, and he regard.
ed 1t as narrow minded for any one to
oppose one of bis bills, especially if the
opposition was upon the ground that It
was unconstitutional.
On one occasion he had bill to ap-
propriate money with obvious impro-
priety for the relief of some miscreant
whom he styled "one of the honest
yeomanry of the state" When ex-
plained to him that 1t was clearly un-
constitutional he answered, me friend,
the constitution don't touch little
things like that" and then added, with
an ingratiating smile, Anyhow, I'd
never allow the constitution to come
between friends"
At the time was looking oyer the

dent. He put it into the first edition

ters they had numbered before they
became wives.
Failure TO recognize the difference
between romance and history causes
failure of marriage. Romance is all
play; history is a serious business.
Courtship is pie; marriage is potatoes.
The comedown from pie to potatoes
sometimes overstrains matters serious
~. But n this CRISIS is safely passed
another awaits.
Love is the spice of life, but friend
ship is the nourisning food without
which life, except to unusual individ-
nails. becomes burden. The marriage
which is all spice and no food soon
gives one or frequently both OF the
parties thereto acute indigestion.
When the ecstatic emotions of the hon.
eymoon have fed. marriage must find
some other subsistence or 1t cannot
thrive. And the only satisfying food
is friendship. Mothers Magazine.

Four Footed Poultry.

A certain old man in the Wynchope
settlement named Buckley was exceed
ingly fond of big words" He was
riding his horse over the country one
bright spring day, apparently intent on
some important business.
Whenever he met anybody he grave
ly asked: Have you seen anything Of
any stray poultry today? I've lost
mine and am hunting it, When they
told him mo" he would proceed on his
way.
After spending several hours In what
seemed to be vain search he at last
rode up to the door of farmhouse and
called, "Hellow A lady came to the
door, and, doffing his hat very politely.
the old man inquired II she had mo
ticed any stray poultry around?"
After a moments thought the wom-
an told him she had seen no chickens.

I've lost. not my chickens. ."--Youth's
