I
K SUKTRISIXU THICK.
Yes, boys, real Simon-pure "magic,"
Just such tricks as you hare seen the
"magician" Jo ; just such a trick as you
hate seen your humble servant do.
Many of these you can do yourselves
when you know how ; others require
more practice than you ought to give to
uch nonsense, and others are again too
expensive. But there are some that any
boyor girl, for that matter can do
with little rehearsing and slight expense
The magic sack trick, which I had the
honor of introducing into America in
1ST3, is as clever as it is simple.
A muslin sack large enough to con
tain a boy of fourteen is handed out for
lamination, and after the audience are
satisfied that the seams are secure and
perfect, but that it is only open at the
mouth, and the performer's assistant
f ets inside. The sack is gathered over
bis head, and the mouth tied with a silk
' fcandkerchief, and then with a tape, the
knots of the latter Deing not only sealed
In any way that seeirs best to the aud
ience, bnt the ends, which are left long,
given to some one to hold. j
a ..
A screen is now piacea oeiween me
audience and the boy in the sack, the
ends of the rope passing either over the
top of the screen or through holes in the
aide.
It would wetn impossible for the per
aon thus securely enveloped to get out
cf the sack without cutting or untying
the tape or handkerchief ; and yet, O
mystery of mysteries I in a few seconds
the screen is thrown open, and the late
occupant of the sack walks out, while
the sack is still tied .up, the knots not
tampered with and seals unbroken.
Surprising as this appears, there are
Heeded but three requisite for its suc
cessful accomplishment : first, an assis
tant upon whose secrecy and faithful
sets the young conjurer can rely,"for he
Will require his help for a great many
tricks ; second, two sacks, exactly alike
made of very One material so that they
Will fold into small compass : and third,
unlimited impudence, assurance, or
whatever you may be pleased to call it.
When about to exhibit the trick the
performer comes forward, holding a silk
handkerchief in one hand and sack num
ber oue in theother. The assistant who
la to be tied up, has the duplicate, or
aack number two concealed about him,
aay in his vest, or some other suitable
place.
As soon as he gets fairly into Xo, 1 he
whips out the duplicate, and puts the
mouth of it inside the mouth of No. 1
The exhibititor who is fumbling about
as if to collect Xo. 1 over the boy's head
aelzes Xo. 2 and puliing out about nine
Inches of it, at once wraps the silk hand
kerchief over the two so as to cover the
point where the? met. Thishe does de
liberately, as an appearance of haste
would give rise to suspicion among the
audience. As it is impossible to distin
guish between the points of the two
sacks, the exhibitor turns to the aud
ience with the remark : "I have now
tied tip the sack in such a way as to
make it next to impossible for the young
man to get out. But to make assurance
doubly sure, I should like one of the
audience to tie it again ; this time with
a tape." As he says this he prodnces
a piece of tape and ties it once around
the part between the handkerchief and
the month of Xo. 2. The person selec
ted from the audience draws the knots
tight, seals them, and retains the end
Of the cord in his hand.
When the screen is placed in position
for home exhibition a clothes horse with
a sheet over it makes an excellent sub
stitute for a screen the assistant gently
pulls at the mouth of Xo. 1, which is
readily drawn from under the handker
chief, and steps out, leaving the hand
kepchief and tape closely wound around
Xo, 2. It takes but a second to fold up
No. 1, conceal it, and then to walk out
from behind the screen to receive the
applanse of the audience.
This brief, but I trust clear, descrip
tion can give but little idea of the effect
Produced by this really surprising trick,
first saw it exhibited by a man call
ing himself Le Duo, at;Stoekholm, Swe
den, some twenty five years ago, and at
that time, although I knew considerable
about magic, it completely mystified me.

Ixgrowino Toe Xails. The most
painful of the diseases of the nails is
caused by the improper manner of cut
ting the nail (generally of the great toe),
and then wearing a short, badly-made
shoe. The nail beginning to grow too
long and rather wide at the corners, is
trimmed around the corner, which gives
temporary relief. But it then begins to
grow wider in the side where it was cut
Off, and as the shoe presses the flesh
against the corner the nail cuts more
into the raw flesh, which becomes ex
ceedingly tender and irritable. To treat
ingrowing nails, proceed as follows : Be
gin the effort at cure by simple applica
tion to the tender part of a small quan
tity ofchloride of iron. It is found in
the drug stores In a liquid form, through
sometimes in powder. There is imme
diately a moderate sensation of paiu or
burning. In a few minutes the tender
urface isfelt to be dried up, tanned or
mummified, and it ceases to be painful.
The patient who could not before put
his foot to the floor now finds that he
can walk without pain. By permitting
the hardened, woodlike flesh to remain
two or three weeks, it can easily be re
moved by 6oaking the root in warm wa
ter. By wearing shoes of a reasonably
good size and shape, all future trouble
will be avoided.
Some Ccmors Calculations. A
rapid penman can write thirty words in
a minute. To do this he must draw his
pen through the space of a rod. sixteen
and a half feet. In forty minutes his
pen travels a furlong. We make, on an
average, sixteen curves or turns of the
pen in writing each word. Writing
thirty words in a minute, we must make
490 turns to each minute ; in an hour
23.001 ; in a day of only five hours, 144,
000 ; in a year of 300 such davs, 43,200,
000. The man, therefore, who made 1..
000,000 strokes with his pen was not at
all remarkable. Many men newspaper
writers! for instance make 4,000,000
Here we have, in the aggregate, a mark
300 miles long to be traced on paper by
auch a writer in a year.
Every woman who has been obliged
of spend half a d.y;several times during
the winter cleaning the mica in her
coal stove, usually by taking them out
and washing in soap-suds, will rejoice
to know that there is an easier method
Of cleaning them, and that there is no
need of taking them out or to let the
fire burn low in order to do it success
fully, Take a little vinegar and water
and wash the mica carefully with a sofi
cloth; the acid removes all stains, and
if a little pains is taken to thoroughly
Clean the corners and wipe it dry, the
mica will look as good as new. If the
stove is very hot, tie the cloth to a stick
and so escape the danger of burning

T Teach A Horsf Hew t Back aad to
Lead.
Take him to the top of a very steep
piece of ground, stand his hind fet
down the slope, throw the bridle reinB
over bia neck, place yourself In front,
and lake hold of them on each side of
the head close up to the bit. Now press
the bit against the sides of the month
and speak gently "back, back" and
the horse will soon learn to do this.
Next take him on to the lop of giound
not quite so steep and pursue the same
course. When the horse has learned to
back readily down hill he can be taken
on level ground. As soon as this lesson
is well taught, harness him to a light,
empty wagon, and go through the same
course. When completed, jump into
the wagon, take the reins in hand, pull
on them and at the same time saying,
"back, back," and thus keep op the dis
cipline until the animal is perfected in
it. If he has a mate, after both are well
instructed, they can be harnessed to
gether and drilled until perfect in back
ing. Three things, as above stated, must be
strictly observed : First, to place the
horse with his back down descending
ground ; second, when harnessed, let it
be a light, empty wagon, whieh requires
the least possible effort to back it ; third
be perfectly kind to the animal, speak
gently, pat it on the neck : stroke down
its face with the hand, and on no ac
count strike it. As soon as the horse
understands what is wanted of it, It
will do it with alacrity. It ia not from
ill temper or stubborness that a horse
does not back when spoken to ; it is
from sheer ignorance he does not know
what is wanted, or bow to do it, until
gently taught.
A second method is to harness a horse
alongside of another well broken to back
and set the hind end of tbe wagon on a
sloping piece of ground, and follow the
directions above, or jump into the Jwa
gon and take the reins in hands ; but It
is better to discipline aloue at first, as
above.
To teach a horse to lead, let a man or
boy take the end of a bridle in hand and
gently pull on it, while another holds
out a dish with grain or meal on it. The
horse will then advance to it. Now let
him nibble a small quantity, and then
move with the dish a little further in
front, and so keep on until be is taught
to lead well. lie can also be taught by
putting him alongside of another horse
which leads easily. He ought to be ra
ther hungry when thus drilled, so he
will come up eagerly to the dish of
grain.
Heakth IIivts. Three-fourths of
the summer diarrheas and dysenteries

To destroy black-beads, wash the face
thoroughly at night with tepid water
and rub briskly with a Turkish towel ;
then apply a mixture of one ounce of

Congestion of the brainfmost freqeunt
ly results from trouble and anxiety of
mind, producing sleeplessness, followed
by the engagement of the small blood
vessels of the brain, sudden loss of vital
power, and almost instant death. Apo

may be induced by too free living.
Small Totatoes. At a recent ses
sion of the San Francisco (Cal.) Acade
my of Sciences, Mr. J. G. Lemmon,
who spent six months in the mountains
on the Mexican frontier among Apaches
and cow-boys, announced that he had
brought up five boxes of new plants, and
that he had found two or three new
kinds of native potatoes, some of whitch
were growing on a peak 10,000 feet high.
They were about the size of walnuts.
This was regarded as an important find
that might throw some light on the na
tivity of that potato, as the real home
of the "Murphys," as they arefamilarly
styled, has not yet been established.
They were reported to have been found
in Teru in 1500. Sir "Walter Raleigh
found some and sent them to England,
but they have only been known to the
poor man on his table for a century.

It h:i ret"n been said by those in a po
sition I't know that more money can be
made from an acre of ground planted in
choice fruit trees than out of almost any
other crop, and after seeing what Mr.
"William Weidle, of East Orange street
has cropped from bis comparatively
small lot we are ready to believe it. Hi
small fruits, such as plums, currants,
grapes and raspberries are over, but the
pears aie in his cellar, and show what
bis product has been in this line. He
has nojfewer than thirth-six varieties of
this fruit, beginning with the earliest,
the Giffaid and Blood good, and closing
with the Glout Morcean and "Winter
Nellis, which come in season any time
from December until April. Between
these early and late come the Bartlett,
BeckleBurre Bose, Buff um, Louise Bon
de Jersey, Flemish Beauty, Lawrence,
Sheldon, Burro Diel, Vicar of Wakefield
Urban iate and many others, all tbe most
approved varieties. Mr. Weidle put in
bis cellar about one hundred bushels of
these luscious hears. He had several
plans for keeping them. Some are put
on trays, and these are fixed on stands
especially constructed for this purpose.
Others are wrapped in paper and pot in
boxes, while still others have strings at
tached to their stem aud are then hung
to nails driven in the joists of the floor
above, where they hang in huge masses
from end to end. It requires much at
tention to look after this fruit. As some
of it is ripening daily, tbe boxes must be
examined every few days and the ripe
fruit removed. In warm weather it ri
pens much quicker than ia cold. There
is a market for all he has. Not only do
hotels and grocers buy them but private
individuals take more or less every day,
Tbe price varies with the kind and qual
ity ; fine fruit now sells from sixty to
seventy cents per half peck. It was a
fine sight to see all these pears strung
aloug the joists, in the trays and in the
numerous boxes, and we were not long
in'reaching the conclusion that next to
being a newspaper reporter, the most de
lightful thing in the world was growing
pears and eating them. Lancaster Ntxo

Kraut. The best we ever ate was
made by ourselves for many years, and
for a considerable time with our own
hands, and always from Savoy cabbage.
It was manufactured in this wise : In
the first place let your 'stand," holding
from a half barrel to a barrel, be thor
oughly scalded out ; the stamper and
the tub also well scalded. Take off all
the outer leaves of the cabbage, halve
them, remove the heart and proceed
with the cutting. Lay some clean
leaves at the bottom of the stand, sprin
kle with a handful of salt, fill in a half
bushel of cut cabbage, stamp geatly un
til the juice just makes its appearance,
then ada another handful of salt, ana
so on until the stand is full. Cover over
with cabbage leaves, place on top a
clean board filling the space pretty well,
and on top of that a stone weighing fif
teen or sixteen ponnds. Stand away in
a ccol place and whjn hard freezing
comes on remove to the cellar. It will
be ready for use in from four to six
weeks. The cabbage should be cnt tol
erably course. The Savory variety al
ways makes the bust article, but it is
only half as productive as the drumhead
or flat Dutch. Germantoion Telegraph.
Nbvbr Spoxb a Word. The current
number of DemoreM't Uonthly tells of a
wealthy farmer who recently died in Dela
ware county, this State, "who never spoke
a word to hit wife for the Ut forty years ef
bis life. It eeeme that bit wife became heir
to a small turn at a time when tbe fanner
was in need of spare cash to meet some obli
gations. He atked for a loan of it until sueh
time as he could pay the debt, but the wife
refused. He became Incensed and threaten
ed that unless ahe lent him the money then
be would never speak to her. He kept bis
word, and for forty years, np to tbe day of
bit death, thle couple ate at the same table,
and slept in the me bed. bat Be word ever
pstsed between them. What Is atlll more
siDKular, the children took the quarrel, some
on the tide of the father, other on that of tbe
mother, and several of them were not on
"peaking terms for years. Nor has tbe death
of the fatber made any change In the house,
bold, for they pats each other In the bouse
oblivious of each other's pretence."

An early account f Xew Yok p. k
lished in 1708, speaks of l)ut!ch'-bL 't
mills for nawing timber, oue of whirv
would do more work m an hourUan t
men in two days. Sawmills wtnTsW
edon Manhattan island as eariy aj jr-V
A (tawmill, down to the close of tbe Ltrt
century, was quite a simple aair aVj
a mill that then cost Uj Mas consdf'r
ed better than the arerage.
Tba machine-made rail any be w d
to be of comparatirely recent date whf
the antiquity of the handicraft art of
nair-making is considered. Vntil j-.m.
ty years ago alt nails were forged. Soiaa
idea, of the number of people once en
gaged in the trade may be gained froa
the fact that previous to the r-ra of tt
nail-making machine, 60,000 naiVn
were employed at one time in ibe cit o'
Birmingham, each family forgirViu
own nails at what might be termed do
mestic forgers. This is still done in
some sections in Germany.
A correspondent of tbe" London Gk
says that it ia the custom of the CiLm
men of Ceylon to whistle for their ba;t
On a recent visit to that island he ut
the way in which it was dont. The tiL
erman ran down some yards to meet aa
advancing wave, agitated the water acfi
probably tbe sand also, with the finger
of one hand, and then rsn backward
whistling all the time ; when tbe aire
retired be followed its retreat, and a
most Invariably fouDd a long worm lr;
on the sand at the point where b had
agitated the water. On being question,
ed relative to this singular. precedure,
one native replied that his whisthns
acted as a charm to the worms and
the cause of bringing tbem to tbe sur
face. A Canary Bikd Stout. The stor
of the first introduction of canarr hir:
into California is told thus. In i44o
'43. Charles and Henry Keiche, tv;
young German, having little less the
the practical education that seems to b
Datural to young Germans, were b;rt
peddlers in New York. They went
about from street to street sellirg bird,
from stands. Their trade was prin-i
pally in canaries, w hich they had a, r;
over from Germany, where they has
cost only ten cents each. They d:d i
pretty fair business up until 1K32. erLe:
they made a daring stroke that reals
their fortune and established tbe tr
business that they now possess. At that
time California was in the flush of go t
findings. Gold was plentiful there, but
luxuries few. There was no Faci5c ra .
roads, and tbe Isthmus route was tedioui
and costly. Young Reiche kncwr.t
that canaries were unknown there, a:
believing tbey would become tbe rv
when once seen, determined to carrr o't
a cargo. He therefore got thne the-:
sand of tbe yellow fellows together, a-
packing tbem in little cages, started fx
the Isthmus. Arrived at Cartaefra. t
had his birds carried aeross the Taram
bay by natives, and he ?oon reached Sat
1 ranci9co. He was late in reach:cg tl
ship and tbe captain was about to s
without him, but seeing his boats fu
of covered boxes, thought it was bclalK
mail matter. When Reiche drew n:
the captain hailed him, and a.-kid l.:x
what he bad ? "Canary birds," Ttpl:
Reicbe, "Canary bird be hanged?
I had known it was birds, I would Lav
left you long ago," Reiche's f.rst
of the flush tide he was to ride wa (7.
from a borne sick Englishman, wao
hearing the whistle of the bn11-f.Dc!
that had accidentlv been put in withtt
canaries, offered to pay the exper.ss c
the entire cargo for that finch. At thi
amounted to two hundred and e.cM
three dollars. Reiche saw that h hac
struck a rich lead, and be put tbe :'
of canaries at twenty-five dollars e;tc-
Thev did bennmA the race Hotels. s
loons, private residences, all tut ta
a canary. The yellow birds made a eras
like the tulip mania. The price
up to fifty dollars, and the cargj r
very soon sold. Reiche returned to f
York a rich man.
A Breath of Firk. Dr. L. C

butes tbe following interesting, thoi.'i
incredible observation : I have a lii-
lar phenomenon in tbe shape of a y'f
man living here, that I have stuc
with much interest, and lam iatis
that his peculiar power demonstr'
that electricity is tbe nerve force btp

thoroughly, wash his hands and i-l-:

to do it more than twice in a !? a' J
