Maro, the eminent prestldigltateur, who will piny an engagement hero Jan. 2fith, furuishod an amusing episode to a large crowd of spectators during his recent appearance in San Francisco. Like most pooplo who yisit tho Golden Gate city, Maro was anxious to visit the district known as Chinatown, hence at his earliest moments' leisure he and a guide proceeded to tho celestial head Mm 'I ib quarters. Passing one of the main business streets, tho magician and his party stopped in front of a Chinese grocery, whore lay a number of dead pigeons which had been killed at a shooting match and afterwards bought up by the enterprising merchant. Maro picked up one of the pigeons, at the same time inquiring of the proprietor of the grocery why some of the birds wore dead and some alive. The China man indignantly replied : "No live, alle dead, Melican man shoot alle same tie mornin." "Oh, no, John, some are dead and some are alive," answered Maro. "Now this one that I hold in my hand is alive." "I bot no live," and John backed his assertion by holding out a handful of coin. By this time a large crowd had assembled, mostly Chinamen, and Maro, thinking he had secured a good audience, gently smooth ed the feathers of the pigeon, gave it a toss Into tho air and it took its flight. The crowd was thunderstruck, some ran across the street while others were paralyzed with wonder and amazement. The clever magician, however, simply said here is another, and again a pigeon flew down the street. The proprietor of the grocery let his handful of money fall to the ground, rushed Into the store and locked the door. Maro tried to explain that it was only a trick, but John could not see it that way. Expert Advice. Jim Webster was brought before a Vermont justice of the peace. It was the same old charge. After the evi dence was all In the judge, with a per plexed look, said : "But I do not com prehend, Webster, how it was possible for you to steal those chickens when they were roosting right under the owner's window, and there were two vicious dogs in the yard." "It wouldn't do you a bit 0' good, jedge, for me to 'splaln how I cotcbed 'em ; you couldn't do it if yer tried 4(5 times, and yer might get a hide full of buckshot de bery fust time yer put your leg ober de fence. De bes' way fer yer to do, jedge, is for to buy yer chickens in de market." Boston Globe. The Reynoldsville Trust Company.

The Brookville Democrat says: "Some people will never take their home papei,butaie always borrowing their neighbors." "God sends meat and the devil sends cooks" says old John Taylor. But it's not always the fault of the cook. For instance, not even a heaven-born genius of a French cook can make oysters taste good, if they have been treated with preservatives. But if the oysters are Sealsbipt, not even- an amateur cook can fail to make a delicate dish, savory, piquant, luscious. Try them. Frank's Restaurant carries them.
