ladies and gentlemen, to pleatc you this
evening, thai is. if you tvin be pleated
with anybody so small. Little people,
all the world over, have been great fa
vorites. I rememlur when I waa smiller
than I now am, and when my mine
used to take me up with nno haud and

'Tootsey, wootsey, he is a little toottey,
wooiey," or words of tho same meaning,
then they would nil fall to kissing me,
as I hopo o:uo of you will do this cveu
inp. This was Charley 'a Christmas Evo
speech, as he stood with immense boots
on his little feet, and gesticulating must
violeutly with his unnatural looking
trms. In other words, Caarley was pur
lonatiug a dwarf.
In the second picture you see how t'is
thing is done. He puts a p sir of bouts
on his hands, rostiug thorn on the piano,
while a companion stands behind him
and reaches his hands over Coarlio's
shoulders. A loose cloak or shawl is
arranged about the dwarf so at to allow
the anus of No. 2 to project and appoar
as if they belonged to No. 1, the dwarf.
Tois erfortuauee should take place in a
doorway, where a curtain can bo so
urmu-cd as to hido thu head aud bojy
of No. Without further explanation
it can be seen that the "dwarf
I rick'' is very easily performed, and
it always affords great aiuusemeut.
The next piece of fun was the entrance
of the elephant. This was very funny.

apearance. lie would not hurt a sick
kitten. In the fun rlU pictute you will
ice how he is made.
Two gentlemen wr aring rubbers place
themselves ill the position represented,
while fho foremost one holds something
in his hands. This is a gray shawl or table
cover, rolled ti t to reniesent the ele
phant's trunk, which the perfnimt-r
swings about to rroduce a life-like ef
fect. All that now remains to be none is
to proiiiico a gray blanket and spread it
over the united operators, fastening two
! pieces of round paper with back dots on
' them, in tliu proper planes lor eyes nnd
n couple of wsfi or old mittens lor ears.
I he elephant is now c unp'ete, rare the
tusks. T.ieto can bs made of twisted
white paper, pinned to the inside of t.ie
blanket, and then you have a first-rate
elephant lor a part; .
After the elephant had left In cime a
more ferocious though smaller animal,
called the California jrnscutus, or night
howler. Previous to the entrance into
Ihe pnrtar was hoard in tho adjoining
room the cht.king of chains, with un
earthly bowls nnd tr.arp (ummanding
voice of the keeper. Suddenly the door
opened and in he walked, as shown in
the tilth picture, uttering most hideous
noies throueti his lon-i pasteboard snout,
assisted in tho tipnnr by the shouts of i
children, cither terrified or trving to he so. I
All that is wanted to make a nigh: 1
howler is a pair of boots and a brown
paper cap, a rough shawl, or, n in tint
is.:, a be ir skin fleighing robu and the
gyacutns is complete.
The door opened ayah, and in bobbed f
a monster, ms youtniui lace a lileilto
his gteat slattm was the i.diniiatiou of
all. Alter satisfying lii.nself by examin.
ing tliu pictures on tho wall, tha top
border of the wall paper nnd other ob
jects of high art, he bobbed himself out.
His cane was uothing moro or less than
the long-swecpiuj brush handle, and
his cloak of a past fashion; still a giant
ii allowed to have some eccentricities.
The deception was good, und bow it
( line about was this wise:
A small boy is p'.nced on the shoulders
of a man, a long oat or overcoat over
tliu two, and the monster is ma iu. If
quite youug the ridiculousness of tho
ttgtiru would bo helped by a pair of fals
iiiiittachcs and a ha; about six s..?s too
hi;, and you have a giant complete.
Now was hcaid front ill J adjoining i
room plaintive strains fro:n the melo- i
deou, and we were told it was I ho funer- I

One of the principal duck farms on
Long Island, Now York, is becoming
quite noted for its choice fowls. Oj tbe
south is the great South Bay, extending
nearly the length of Long Island, and
on tbe east and weit sides of tbe farm
tie small streams, tbe land having s
gradual slope to the water. 1'ekia
ducks are tbe specialty, and on the
banks ol tbeio streams the yards of tbe
breeders and tbe fattening peus are situ
utod, where thousands of these ducks
may bo seen every season. Tbero an

devoted to poultry, tho total floor apace
being 15,000 iquato feet. This lirm
