I 'Which Pntr.lo the Most Currftll
I Watchers Tho Itaskct Trick.
I Let mo give you a picture of an Indian
jupglcr, writos Frank O. Carpenter from
Jiombny, India. Ono etamls outside my
hotel window as I write. lie is perform
ing his tricks in the dusty road without
a tnlilp, cabinet, pntcnt boxes, or any of
the 'accompaniment of the American
wizard. His sole possessions consist of
three small baskets, ranging in size from
half a peck to a bushel, a couple of cloths
and a tripod made of three sticks, each
two feet long and held together by a
string at the top. Three little wooden
dolls with red cloths tied around their
nccl:s and each not over a foot long, nre
the gods which enable him to do wonder
ful thing's. lie has a flute in his mouth
nnd a little drum in his hand. Ho is
black-faced and black-bearded, and
his shirt sleeves nre pulled up nbove
lits elbows. Ilia only assistant is a littlo
turbaned boy, who sits beside him, whom
he will shortly put into a basket not more
than two feet square, and with him will
perform tho noted basket trick of India.
This trick is one of the wonderful jug
gling tricks of tho world. The boy's
hands are tied and he is put into a net,
which is tied over his head and which in
closes his whole body so that he appar
ently cannot move. lie is now crowded
into this basket. The lid is put down
and tight straps nre buckled over it. Tho
juggler now takes a sword, and with a
few passes of these little Hindoo doll
babies over it nnd the muttering of in
cantations as a preliminary, thrusts the
sword agnin and again into the basket.
There is a crying as though some one was
in terrible pain. It is the voice of a
child, and the sword come out bloody.
You hold your breath, and did you not
know it to be a trick you would feel like
pouncing upon the man. After a mo
ment the basket becomes still, the jug
- gler makes a few more passes, unbuckles
the straps and shows you that there is
nothing within it. He calls: "Babat
babal" and in the distance you hear the
child's voice. How the boy got out of
the basket or escaped being killed by the
sword and where the blood came from I
do not know. I only know it was a
sleight-of-hand performance and wonder
fully well done.
, The mango trick Is performed with the
three sticks in the shape of a tripod. The
juggler takes a pot of water and pours it
over a little pot of earth. He then holds
up a mango bulb about the size of a wal
nut, and, putting this into the earth, he
throws a cloth over the tripod. He now
blows upon his horn, makes mysteriov
passes, and after a few moments raises
cloth and you see tho mango tree s
ing forth from the soil. More pasi
more music follow, and the cloth is pulled
down again. After a few moments, dur
ing which the showing of minor tricks
goes on, he pulls out the pot, and the
plant has grown about a foot nbove it.
There is more watering and more incan
tation, nnd his final triumph comes in
showing you a bush nearly a yard high,
containing great leaves. This he will pull
up by the root and show you the seed at
the bottom. It is a wonderful trick, and
how the man is able to manipulate the
different plants with nothing clso but a
thin cotton cloth to help him, which, by
the way, ho allows you to examine, is
hard to conceive. Ho has a dozen other
sleight-of-hand performances equally
as wonderful. He puts a little shell into
his mouth nnd appears to choke as ho
draws out coin after coin nnd balls of
atone almost as big around as your list.
He spits fire, as does the American wiz
ard, puils miles of string from his stom
ach,sticks pins through his tongue without
hurting himself, and ends tho perform
ance with a snnko trick, which is to me
the most wonderful of all.
In doing this snake trick he asks for a
piece of paper nnd asks you to hold out
your hand. You do so aud he places the
paper upon it. He then begins to play
uHju his pipe and to dart out his eyes as
.houL'Ii he saw something near your liana
His whole frame becomes transformed
ho dunces around vou like a wizard, play
ing all the time and keeping his eyes on
your hand. . Now he starts back and
points at it. You look aud see nothing
and ho begins to plays louder and dance
wilder than ever, liemember his arms
are bare to the elbow and both of his
hands are upon his pipe. Suddenly he
drops the pipe and continues hisice
with incuntations. He no',to the
paper again and whjls-you look and seo
nothing he clapstrs band down upon it
aud pullirtrtTlhree great cobras, which
' 'raise their hooded heads and dart out
their fangs in different directions, and
squirm and wriggle as he holds them up
before you. You jump back, for the bito
of the cobra is deadly, and I am told
that the makes used have in some cases
not had their fangs drawn.
A juggler was killed a week ago in
Benares by the bite of a cobra which he
was using in this way, and they are the
most terrible snakes I have ever seen. At
another performance of this same kind I
was present with a party of four, and we
all decided to ascertain, if we could, how
this trick was done. I stood upon a chair
and overlooked the man as he snatched
up the snakes, but I could not see where
they came from, and I only know that he
had them, and that they were so big that
he crowded them with difficulty into a
little round basket the size of a peck
measure.
THE FARM AND GARDEN.
TIALrNO KESTfl.
If a hen steals a nest somewhere, let
her remain where Bho is, and not remove
her, provided she is comfortable. Pee
that her nest is sheltered, however, in
case of rains, which may destroy all her
expectations. If there is danger from
'varmints" at night, it is better to re
move her to the poultry-house, if she will
remain on a nest; but if not, it is well to
break her from incubntion. It is a waste
of time for her to sit if her chicks are to
be destroyed by rains or animals. Farm
and Firfide.
TlEATdXO A COLT BY It AND.
A motherless colt may as easily be
reared by hand as a calf, and will learn
to drink from a pail readily. At first a
milk pan may bo used for feeding it. A
method of feeding that has been found de
sirable is as follows: Give a two or three
days' old colt one pint of new milk, fresh
from the cow, with a table-spoonful of
molasses mixed with it, four times a day,
and ouco daily give a pint of strained oat
meal gruel with an egg mixed in it,
smoothly. A mare's milk is much sweeter
than cow's milk, and the molasses or some
sugar is needed. As the colt grows tho
quantity of food is to be gradually in
creased. When two or three weeks old
the colt will est grass and should bo put
in a pasture. A'ev York Times.
' ICE-WATER A GOOD INSECTICIDE.
Few people rcalizo how good an inr.ee
ticido is ice-cold water applied to plants
with a force pump. It drenches the
leaves, knocking off and chilling the in
sects too small to bo reached in any other
way. It also destroys myriads of insect
eggs. It is noticed by potato growers
that the potato bug is rnrely destructive
in a wet season. Now, as tho potato
plant loves water, it might, on a small
scale, be protected from injury, and the
crop be greatly increased by thorough
drenching once or twice a week. This
remedy is a good one for tho rose slug.
Few wish to apply poison to preserve this
beautiful flower, while the whale oil ap
plications often recommended are almost
equally objectionable. Baton Cultivator.
BEES AND HONEY POISONED.
Ppraying fruit-trees with the nrscnites
while yet in blossom is a serious matter,
according to Professor A. J. Cook. It
is hoped that tho whole press will call at
tention to it, and caution readers against
tho danger. Mr. J. A. Pearce, Grand
Rapids, Mich., had a fine apiary of fifty
eight colonies this spring, when tho fruit
trees blossomed. A neighbor sprayed
his orchard when in full bloom, whilo
Mr. Pearce's bees wero working in
full force. Hcsult: The bees nro seri
ously poisoned ; nro dying rapidly. Kven
two weeks after tho honey was gathered
the workers, drones and brood are still
feeding on the poisoned honey with fatal
effect. Again, let mo urge that no man
ever spray his fruit treeswith Paris green
or London purple till after the blossoms
fall. Legislatures should enact laws
making it a crime punishable by fine nnd
imprisonment to do so. If the honey
stored contains enough poison to kill
bee s, may it not kill people who cat it I
This is a matter demanding speedy edu
cation. Such a law as suggested would
make fniitmcu apt scholars.

Piuteg Expecting a Flood.
Virginia, Ncv., is full of Piuteg men
women and children, who, fearing a do
luge, are getting out of the valleys. Not
long afo a 1'iute prophet predicted a
great flood that would drown all this part
of the world. He suid theancicnts would
me from their graves and there would
. be a new deal on this continent, iu which
the red men would be restored to their
old rights and repossess the land. Having
been told of the flood in tho East and the
drowning of thousands of white men,
they have got an exaggerated idea of the
disaster and believe that very few whites
remain on that side of tho continent,
Their prophet, of course, claims credit for
what has happened, and they next ex
pect a flood to drown tlie whites of the
est. I hey are laying in a stock of pro
visions with which to flee to the mount
ain tops, und suppose that the whites
will remain in their houses to be drowned
as they did in tho Kast. Virginia (JVet.)

WHAT ABOUT THE SILO?
That there should be some ndvance
mode in silo knowledge, says John Gould
In the American Agriculturist, is not sur
prising, when some fifteen thousand wide
awake farmers in this country are each
constituting himself as the director of an
experiment station, to find out for him
self how much new can bo chanced upon
and yet score success. The wooden silo
has proved its claims as a superior recep
tacle for tho preservation of silage, as it
is not only less costly, but a better non
conductor of heat, and therefore more
easily made frost proof; all of which
means a more uniform temperature lor the
silage, and the nearer approach to the
ideal sweet silage. There is some ques
tion about the walls of the wooden silo,
whether to have them two boards thick,
with tarred paper between, or of one
thickness of matched lumber thoroughly
painted with hot asphaltum. The one can
be constructed with cheap, cull pine lum
ber, the other must have good, well
matched flooring, or an air tight wall can
not be secured. Borne hold that it is yet
better to lath and plaster tho interior of
the silo to make it durable. Others insist
that they get even a better wall by paint
ing with hot gas tar, in which some resin
is melted, or the uso of tho hard finish
asphaltum paints.
It is settled that perfeet development of
the corn plant is essential to tho making
of good silage. Their planting and the
formation of ears are, therefore, insisted
upon, as is also allowing the corn to stand
until the kernels have begun to enter the
glazed condition before cutting for the
silo. This fully developed corn, charged
v ' plant jui es, on the verge of inn
tiui.y when put in the silo, does not un
dergo the extremo ferment incident to
corn fodder less mnture, ana only cie
vclops lactic acid in a mild degree. The
otheri with its juices less charged with
starch and sugar juices, pnsses in the silo
into a more advanced stage of lerment
that often shows traces of acetic acid. It
is now shown that com had best be nl
lowed to stand uncut until wanted, and
then put into the silo without tho usual
two days' wilting. Tho wilting is ftlnyi
to reduce weight, but with liia tnaturo
fodder, this water means. 16od value, and
wilting fodderiavoVves increased cost of
cutting, it'7equires more power, is not
cut-as perfectly, and it cannot be shown
to ue in any way petter or even as goon
silage, as unwiltea ana more mature ioa
dcr.
With fodder of proper -natuuty the
work of silo filling can be "ru. jeer along,
and the necessity of allowing each day s
filling to heat to 125 degrees is obviatea
When the silo is full it is allowed to
stand uncovered for four or even five
days to heat aud throw out tho air, when
it is covered and sweet silage can be con
fidentlv expected. Where there are two
pits, one may bo filled, then the other
The first will have settled, when it can
be again filled to the top, and attention
then can be paid to No.
It was demonstrated last year that any
amount of rain upou silage fodder before
going into tho pits will not injure it or
cause any increase of acidity. Last fall
thousands of loads of fodder dripping
with rnin, went into the pits hut the silage
showed no evil effects from it, nor did a
frost near tho close of silo tilling work
any noticeable injury to tho silage. It
was also found that tramping is not to be
encouraged until after twenty-four hours,
when the silage has begun to wilt. Then
it is only of benefit along the walls to
assist in making it settle. Many cases
of silage spoiling along the walls result
from tramping when fresh 'cut, as it ex
pels the air to an extent which prevents
it from taking on heat and wilting along
the walls as fast as iu the centre. Instead
of kcepina the silo ubout level
filling, it is better to keep it the
along the walls, aud thus get an even
distribution pf the grain without the
necessity of keeping a man in tho pits
all the tune.
A cover to the silo, or weights, are
wholly unnecessary. The silos in this
region that had no covers of any sort did
not show more surface waste of silage
than those covered with paper, boards
and sawdust. Only two or thife inches
of silage molded where no surface pro
tection was used. .The two or three
inches of white mold made an air-tight
cover that offered all tho protection
needed. Tho silos covered with a foot
of dry straw, well tread down, showed
the least loss of any. Those who covered
closely and weighted report the great
est loss. There-is no more necessity of
weighting a silo than of putting two
hundred pounds per square f;ot on a po
tato heap.
"hollow nonN"is A myth.
The most cmineut veterinarian author
ities of the world entirely ignore tho ex
istence of any such disease as "hollow
horn" in cattle. The late Charles L.
Flint, iu his voluminous nnd excellent
work on "Dairy Farming," w hen referring
to the diseases of dairy stock, savs:
"Common sense is especially requisite in
the treatment of stock, and that will very
rarely dictate a resort to bleeding, boring
tho horns, cutting off tho tail, nnd a
thousand other equally absurd practices
too common even within tho memory of
men still living." "Horn oil" and "tail
oil" and "wolf in the tail" and "wolf
teeth" in horses are sometimes mentioned
in the works of our most noted veterina
rians, but ouly for the purpose of ridicule
nnd to exposo ignorance in thoso who
believe in such imaginary ailments. A
cow with garget, milk fever, or even
siinplo fever may have a dry muzzle, slow,
or an entirely suspended rumiuation; tho
horns hot at the base and the tips cold,
and it is these symptoms which ignorant
quack doctors claim ns those indicating
hollow horn. Tho animal usually needs
a dose of physic, and not bleeding or
boring of the Lorns. Arno York Sun.

The following rules for packing apples
are published by nn apple dealer for the
benefit of those who supply our market
with this fruit:
Country shippers and packers of applet
should make it a point to pack their fruit
honestly, that is, have the fruit run all
alike through tho barrel. Do not en
deavor to cause deception by placing
good, sound, large fruit on tho top and
bottom of the barrel nnd nil in the mid
dle with a lot of gnarlv, wormy nnd de
cayed fruit. It does not pay. Tho de
ception is easily detected upon investiga
tion, and merchants do not care to have
fraud practiced upon them, or to practice
it on their customers.
Full regulation sized barrels should bo
used. Take the barrel, ouo head out,
nail the hoops, nnd break oft the ends of
the nails on the inside; place layer or tier
of apples, fair, smooth nnd bright, as
closely as possible, stems downward, on
the lower cud, then hll up a basket at a
tune, throwing out small, wormy, gnarly
aud windfall apples, and shaking the
barrel well after each deposit, until it is
full two inches above the rim; placo tho
head squarely ou the apples, nnd with a
screw or lever press force it into place
nnd nail securely. . Turnover tho barrel
nnd mark namo of applo with red or
black lead, or stencil. Bear in mind
that, to be shipped safely, fruit must be
packed tight, to prevent rattling and con
sequent bruising.
Iu shipping apples the farst of the sea
son early varieties shippers should see
that openings nre cut on the side of the
barrels and also in both ends, to admit of
free circulation of air, which will greatly
help to bring the fruit through in good
condition during the wnrm weather.

A Sub-Marine Bridge.
A "sub-marine bridge" is proposed be
tween Sweden and Copenhagen by a
Swedish engineer, Mr. Rudolph Lillc
jcgrist. Tho distance is two nnd ' one
half miles, and tho proposed structure
would join Elsinore to Ilelsingberg by
a bridge mndo up of 100 foot spans,
carrying a single lino of rails. It is to
bo submerged sufficiently to allow ships
to puss over it. The IrfidgC-would be en-
-efcSd. -in-ft loublo tube, with an outer
skin of iron and nn inner one of steel, aud
the space between the shells filled with J
concrete. It is foreseen that the outer shell
might rust away in time, but it is believed
that the concrete would remain intact aud
protect the steel. Tho piers would lie
ordinary caissons, filled witjicoucrete
and placed 100 feet npu!rajNt tubes
would rest on these piers, and tESjurders
would take a bearing on blocks inside the
tube immediately Qver the piers. The
tube would bo floated out in one
hundred feet lengths and lowered to
place, and a massive collar of concrete
put over the joints. Pontoons, with legs
at each corner, worked by hydraulic
rams, so as to give a stable platform,
would be used in sinking tho tubes.
Tho estimated cost of the submerged
work is about $3, 500,000, not including
the tunnel approaches.
