HOUDIN AND THE MARABOUTS. Tticks with Which the French Magi cian Astonished the Arab Fakhs. Biom tb Household World To witness Houdin's Hist pei form ante in Algiers the neighboring ttlbes weie Invited. The theatte was speedi ly lllled with them and the Trench of ficials, who attended in all their pomp and gloiy. Inteipreteis weie scattered tlnough the hotifco In order to repeat Houdin's teniatks to the natives in thelt own language. With tiuo Ori ental dignity and gtajlty, the Arabs witnessed the (list few ttleks in stolid silence, but tho taking of a huge can non ball from a bortowed hat moused great excitement Then came the gieat tticks of the evening, especially piepared to astonish tho Aiabs. "By a wondetful power which I pos sess," said Houdln, "I can deptlvo any man of his strength I Invite any one to prove my vvotds." On this being Interpietcd to the Atnbs ;i tall, stiong man stepped for ward on the stage Houdln held In his hand a little Iron bo, and, balancing It caielessdy on his little ilngci, he asked tho Ainu: "Aio j 011 stiong?" "Yes," teplled the man caielessiy. "Aio jou sine of ulinijs remaining so'."' "Always. "Lift that bo." The Arab did so and asked con temptuously: "Is that all " "Wait," said Iloudl, making a rol einn gcstuie. "Now ou 1110 weaker than a woman. Try to lift that box acaln." Tho A: ab fcelzed the liandlo and tugged again. He could not talso the box an Inch fiom the lloor After many attempts he paused for n mo ment to biaco himself for a final ef foit. He helped the handle again, but Muleked aloud with pain, dtopped on his knees, then, rising, tlnew his cloak around his face to lonceal his shame, and lushed froln the thealie. leaving his compatilots stricken with fear. Tho tile It v ns ns simple as the tesult was stnttllng. The bos was placed on a powetful electro. magnet, and the cuireht being complete, no man on earth could havo lifted It. An electric shock, sent at a signal by Houdln fiom behind tho stage, was whut what tuused the Aiab to slitlek and hunledly letieat. Befote the excitement caused by this trick had subsided, Houdln announced that ho hud n tHllsman which tend eied him Invulnerable, and he dolled the best shot In Algleis to kill him. A marabout Immediately spiting on the stage, exclaiming, "I wnnt to kill you," Houdln handed him a pistol, which tho Arab, examining, pioitounced a good one. "It Is a good pistol, and I will kill you." poorly Nourished , Invalids Dr. T. M.

They are all very high class and made to our own order from our own material. 3 'A " "A "A 'A "A 'A 'A "A 'A A "A 'A U 'A 'A 'A"A "Very well," said Houdln, "to make sure put In a double charge of pow der. Here's a wad. Take a hullet from this ttay and maik It so you will know It again. Bam It into the pistol well." "It Is done. "Now," said Houdln, "jou say the pistol is a good one, and jou've loaded It well, .so kill me." "Yes," teplled the marabout, "I will do that." Houdln took a pear, stuck It on n knife, and walked a few paces In fiont of the Arab, and told him to aim at his heart. He fired, and tho marked bullet was been on the pear. After the powder and wad were rammed home, and while the Arab was mat king tho bullet, Houdln slipped a little tube into the pistol. This tube was closed nt the lower end, and Into this Atab dropped the bullet. As he tin list the wad down with the tnmrod the tube fitted snugly on to It, and was with drawn with It, being polished to 10-f-emble It. Houdln thus got possession of the marked ball, und all was then plain sailing. On one occasion during his visit to Algiers Houdln was placed in a very awkward position from which he only extricated himself by his quiek-wlt-tedness He was the guest of an Arab chief, Abou Allem, and entoitnlned his host and friends by a few tricks One of the company was a marabout, who asserted that the spectntots In Algiers had been nieiely duped by a vision. Houdln, however, produced tho mara bout's watch In his band, and on feel ing his s.ash tho mat about found there a ilve-ftnne piece. Convinced by this and other tents that Houdln was tcnl 1 a sorceter, he challenged him to re peat his petfoimatice in the theatre, and pioduced two pistols "You need not fear," said tho Atnb, "Mute you know how to watd off bullets" with out losing hid self-possession, Houdln explained that his Invulnei ability lay In a talisman which was with his pos sessions in Alglei. "By six hours praer. liowevet, I tan do without that talisman, and at S o'clock tomonow moinlng jou can lire nt me." At the appointed time thoie was a laige concourse of Aiubs, which the news had atttacted The pistols weie ut ought and carefully examined. Th mai.ibout chopped In the powder, Hou dln handed him a bullet fiom the tia, and he lammed it down Iloudin then loaded his own pistol, nnd. walking about fifteen paces iimhj, tinned and fated tho marabout The shut was tired, and the Henchman opened his mouth nnd showed the bullet between his teeth. ' You could not kill me," he said, "and now you shall see what my shot can do" He Hied at the maia bottt, and Immediately a led splash was seen on the wall before which he was standing. The Aiab was un touched, stepping up to the wall, he dipped his linger In the red bplash, tasted it, and, leallylng thut It was blood, collapsed in amazement. Though the trick was simple, only a Houdln could have devised and eai lled it out successfully Dining the night he had melted home wax, black ened It to look llko lead, and run it into a bullet-mold, thus obtaining a hollow globe of wax exactly resemb ling a bullet In appeaianee. It was Willi this bullet tho matahout loaded his pistol, ami In ramming It down crushed It to powder. A second bullet slmllatly made, Houdln lllled v. 1th blood obtained from his own body. Tills he diopped Into his pistol, ami lammed It down very gently, so as nut to ciush It. As It stunk the wall it was biokeit, leaving a led splash of blood. QUEER OCCUPATIONS.
