MAGIC EXPLAINED.
THE STAR TRICKS OF HINDOO, CON
JURERS MADE EASY.
The Mango Trlrk Explained by Kellar, the
Magician It I the Rama Which Olnbe
Trotter Hteven Claim I Miraculously
Performed by Yogi Men.
The sleight of hnud performances of
Mr. Maskolyno, a remarkably clover
juggler, have 'excited a great deal of in
terest in London. Not only aro bis
tricks skillfully done, but his explana
tions of other tricks have attracted mnch
attention among a class nf men who
seldom visit the hulls whore feats of this
sort are presented.
The Mail and Express rooently pub
lished au article from the London Spec
tator in which tho writer describes one
or two tricks which he saw in India
aud which mystified him greatly. Here
is one, which, by the way, is described
by Thomas Stevens, the globe trottor,
who snys that the Yogi mon, who per
form it, are aided by an occult force that
the world is as yot ignorant of.
A juggler plaood a cloth over the pave
ment of thfl street, and prosontly he
removed it, and there was a mango
growing between tho stones. "The jug
gler," adds tho writer, "one of the he
reditary caste, did undoubtedly make a
leaf spring out of the ground; did mako
it grow into a dwarf mango, and did
hand the mango from it to be eaten. It
looked wonderful because of the appar
ent simplicity of the juggler, but he per
formed his feat in four processes, and
between each he shook out his chudder,
or muslin wrapper, so that it passed for
an instant between the spectators and
the plant Tho writer had no doubt
thou and has no doubt now that this
was dono not to conooal anything, but
to dintract attention momentarily; that
the first loaf, the upgrowth of leaves,
the dwarf mango and the mango on it
were all of wax or other carefully luado
imitation, and that tho whole miracle
was marvelously rapid sleight of huud. "
To Amurioans who aro interested in
this sort of thing this mystery is almost
amusing. It was exposed several years
ago by Hollar, tlig prostidigitatour. Four
or five yours ago Kollar publicly offered
(1,000 to anyone who would perform a
trick which he could not duplicate aud
which ho could not prove to be done by
wholly human aids. A number of per
sons who had recently visited India im
mediately deluged him with descrip
tions of this and. other specimens of
oriental jugglery. Of course as they
could not perform tho trick thomselves
they did not compote for his mouey offer,
and therefore they wr-o not publicly
answored.
Kellar, however, gave me personally
full explanation not only of those
tricks, but of several others whioh have
long baffled the olevorest of the occi
dental investigators. The magician has
spent more than IS years of his profes
sional life in India and the far east, and
ha has closely studied the tricks of the
native jugglers with more or less profit
to himself. This is how he explained
the mango or pineapple trick as nearly
as I can recall it:
"Tbo first time I saw the mango
trick," said be, "was in Bombay in
1879 or thereabouts, and the man who
did it was the most skillful oonjurer I
ever saw in India. Even after I had
learned the secret of his illusion I could
not help admiring its ingenuity and the
dexterity with which it was performed.
The juggler and his two comrades chose
a spot before the Prinoe of Wales' stat
ue on the plaza. Be first laid down a
bag on the hard ground and then drew
from it a large bandanna handkerchief.
Digging a small hole in the ground
with one finger, he buried a pineapple
seed, and over this he plaoed his hand
kerchief. Be carefully smoothed out
the oloth, rubbing swiftly from left to
right After this maneuver was ended
he made several passes with his arms
over the handkerchief, while his com
radea beat industriously upon their
drums and blew upon their pipes.
"Suddenly, to my surprise, I saw the
handkerchief begin to slowly rise in the
oenter and gently sway from side to aide
as though a plant were really sprouting
to life from the seed whioh he had
planted beneath the cloth. When the
handkerchief had risen like a tent to a
hoigbt of about 19 inches, the conjuror
topped his inoautatious and cautiously
lifted up the left hand corner of the
cover and peered beneath it Then,
plunging both bands undoraeath to the
accompaniment of loud and disoordaut
musio, he threw aside tho oloth and
showed a full grown pineapple plant
"This is the way he did the trick, as
he afterward admitted to me:
"In smoothing out the oloth ho reach
ed into the bag, the month of which
was oonvoniontly placed near the hand
kerchief, aud whisked out a hooded co
bra snake. The moment the reptilo was
laid down it began to coll. That mado
the handkerchief rise. When it hod
reached its full height, its angry hiss
ing meanwhile being drowned by the
nnislo of the assistants, the performer
looked under tho cloth, taking care to
draw tho corner close to the month of
the bag. Thou he adroitly whiskod out
a hollow pineapple from the bag under
noath tho cloth. It was now tho work of
a minute only to force the snake into
the nppln, close tho aperture, and tho
trick was dono. "Don jamin Northrop

AN AID TO MILKING.
The Collegian's Advice to Ills Father Which
Itesnlted Disastrously.
A collego student in ono of our west
ern states returned homo nf tor his course
was finished to find that Ills father, a
olergyman with a small salary, was
eking out his living by running a small
farm. One of the adjuncts of tho farm
was a cow, a pretty good animal, which
however, had a strong aversion to being
milked.
Here was an opportunity for a dlsploy
of the lately acquired knowledgo of the
juvenilo collegian.
"Father," said he, "ProfossorG. says
if ono will place a weight upon a cow's
back it will mako her give down tho
milk."
Tho reverend geutloman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learnod from Professor G.,
decided to try the Btmple remedy. In
stead, however, of placing a weight
upon tho cow's back, the clergyman
placed himself upon it But then he
answered tho purpose. The cow, how
ever, was still obstinate.
"Tio my legs under the cow, "said
the father to his son.
Tho son did so. But the cow, unused
to such unusual and arbitrary proceed
ings, manifested her displeasures by
rearing aud plunging, entirely unmind
ful of tho dignity of the porsouage
astridn hor spinal oolumn. It was get
ting altogether too interesting for the
two bipods oonoerned in the transac
tion. "Cut the rope, cnt the ropol" shout
ed Mr, V. to his dutiful son, moaning
the rope by which he was attached to
the oow.
But the son, being somowbat excited,
cnt the rope by which tbo oow was fas
tened to the stanchion. At once avail
ing herself of tho liberty thus offered,
tho cow took an nuccromouions exit
from tho stable, and down through the
street she went. Tho minister accom
panied tho cow, but in a manner not ex
actly befitting tho dignity of his profes
sion. As it happened, one of tho sisters of
tho congregation was on tho street as
tho race was in progress. Surprised at
such a sight, the good sister cried out,
"Why, Brother V., where aro you go
ing?" His sonso of tho ludicrous coming to
I his aid, Brother V. shouted back: "Tho
i Lord and tho cow only know. I dun'tl"
Tho clergyman was eventually rescued
from his awkward porch and never at
tempted the feat again. Voice.
Wellington's Greatest llattle.
A hitherto unpublished lettor of thu
Duke of Wellington written to Colonel
Wilko, one of tho garrison of St Hoi
ena when Napoleon was there, contains
tho following interesting reference to
the duke's greatest battle;
They used to call me the sepoy gen
eral. It is duo to my having been a se
poy general that I won the battle of
Waterloo. It targht me where to place
men with whom I could trust the honor
of England and where to place mon
who were not so satisfactory. I had
troops with me at Waterloo in whose
hands the safety and honor of king and
oonntry oould well be plaoed. I had
numbers of others, some of whom I
oould not trust at all, some I oould bare
ly trust, and others who were not prop
erly trained. It was owing to the foot
of my having learned in the sepoy wars
to place the best of the men in the parts
of the field where the greatest courage
and bravery were required, and others
where those qualities were not required,
that I won the battle of Water loo.

I Frog Fifth?
Is a frog a fish? This is the problem
whioh the offioiulsof the Dominion fish
ery department have rooently had to
oonsider. Petitions were forwarded to
the department from the inhabitants of
Northumberland, Out, praying for a
olose season for frogs. A lucrative trade
in the shipment of frogs' logs had buou
done in that county, but it was discov
ered that the very time when the frogs
are spawning is one when the greatest
havoo is wrought among them. Possi
bly a change will be made in the fishery
laws so as tn embrace frogs. The officers
ay that in their embryotio stuge frogs
are certainly fishes, but later on they
take an amphibious character. Bali

Dinner Service) Worth 100,000.

A lllg Cypres Tree.
We started at 8:80 o'clock, determin
ing to tnko on our way the big cypress
of Tula, which is so largo that it is
worthy to bo ranked above tho big trees
of California. Wo found it in the in
closnro of tho parish church. Thero is ,
no doubt that tho latter was built iu '
that place becanso of the tree, for which
the Indians feel groat veneration. It is
precisely of the samo kind as tho trees
of Chapnltepeo, but the largest there is
only 40 feet in circumference, while this
ono is, by recent measurement, 103 feet
4 inches. Thero is another difference,
and a very marked one, and this is tho
tendency to a flattening of tho lower
and larger branches and of tho peculiar
buttresses which the trunk throws out
In the latter they are almost as flat as
boards, aud in the branches the flatness
is that of a wedge, Tho contrast be
tween theso and tho upper ones, which
aro rounded, is very striking. The
trunk is not liko an ordinary one, but
resembles a bnttrcssod wall, so that tho
two diameters vary enormously. Tho
height must bo less than 200 feet, mak
ing tho appearance in a photogaph al
most dwarfish. Tho spread of the
branches from north to south is gigan
tic, and the effect of light mid shade is
entrancing to the artist Tin to are col
onies of lizards and of various birds in
tho different departments of the trunk
and branches, aud upon tho groen dome
of the top were a group of buzzards that
croaked without intormission during our
wholo stay. Han Francisco Chronic la
The Women of Bella.
Alas for the Greek ideals 1 Here is
what the women of Hollas look like
now, as told by a correspondent: "Tho
women wear short, shapeless tight
skirts reaching a little above the ankles,
mado of the same material as their rugs,
and a short white tunio mado of coarso
serge. Their hair is worn in a long
braid, and to make it reach past the
waist they plait In horsehair or black
tow and decorate it with oheap coins,
beads or ooarso, bright cottons. Greek
children are pretty, and so aro tho very
young girls, but when they step from
childhood to womanhood they soon lose
all thoir good looks. The women toil
not; noithor do they spin. They are as
lazy as the mon and seem to have no
higher idea of life than lying in tho sun
and drinkiug coffee or cold water. The
food ii a cross between German and
Greek. Tho bread is black and under
baked, and tho butter is churned from
sheep's milk and never gets solid. The
cow is not a milk purveyor in Athens,
but a humble beast of toil Our broak
fasts wore served in our rooms and were
severely simple. They consisted of green
too, with sheep's milk, block bread and
tho puro honey of Uymettus. Tho honey
of Uymettus is not so delightful as it
sounds, becanso tho bees browso among
the strong scented asphodels, with
which tho mountain is covered, and the
result is not appetizing. Philadelphia

Personal Consideration.
Mrs. Home, the wifo of tho author
who wroto "Tho Tragedy of Douglas,"
was very infirm and very peculiar and
spent her time on a sofa in the unusual .
occupation of chewing nutmegs.
A gentleman who was a gruut admir
er of her husband's work called ono day
to see him, and not finding him thought
it would bo only less delightful to talk
with tho wifo of so celebratod a man.
Ho was ushered into her prcseneo and
begun to ingratiate himself by praising
hor husband. She made no answer.
Then ho attempted to talk on topics of
general interest, and still she was silent
At last she spoke.
"Any prospect of a peace?" she in
quired. "Yes," he replied enthusiastically,,
certain now that conversation had roal
ly begun, "there is every hope that a.
glorious peace will soon be concluded. "
"Oh, ayel" said she. "Will it mak'
any difference in the price o' nutmugs?"'

Auction Bale.
Sales by auotion, so far from being
an Invention of late years, were known
as far back as the time of the Romans.
It is supposed by some that they chiefly
used the plan to dispose of the spoils
token in war. As these sales were said
to take place under the spear, it is fair
to conclude that they stuck a long spear
in the ground to mark the place where
the sale would be held. It was long
the custom in England to mark the
time during which bids might be offer
ed by burning an inch of oandle, the
last offer before the light went out be
ing of course the one that took the arti
cle on sale. This custom led many to
make no bid until the candle was near
ly out, and many often delayed so long
that the end of the flame still found
them silent St Louis Globe -Democrat
