The Popular Coffee Trick, and
How It Is Performed.
METHODS OF THE MAGICIAN.
Changing Whit Paper Into Milk, Blut
Paper Into Mocha and Bran Into Cut
8ugar la Comparatively Easy When
You Have Been Shewn the Way.
A trick always popular will) the pro-
fesslotiul conjurer la dial known a
the "coffee irlok." though some high
inlutlu title, oh, for liiHlmice, "Mur
, about Mocha." Is better for u pro
grain. It Ims the advantage, too. ot
. ' not conveying any Idea of what the
trick Is to be. The trick la us suita
ble for the drawing room us for the
etnge, and an amateur wltb u little
practice may do It easily. Itnineinlier.
jwlth a little practice, for, like every
thing In conjuring, not only n little
fcut sometimes a great deal of practice
to necessary If the performer desires
to do bis tricks wltb ease uud nk III
and so as to bewilder bis audience.
When about to present this trick the
performer bus on a table three wooden
boxes, a large goblet shaped glass Jar
and two" German silver "shakers" or
upB, such as are used In mixing lem
n Juice, ice, etc., for a glass of lein
node. In one of the boxes Is a
quantity of bran. In another some
pieces of chopped up white paper and
In the third a similar lot of blue pa
per. These, wltb two pieces of black
yelvet, each about ulne Inches square,
- ' and a paper cylinder, are all that ap
pear to be used In the trick. Picking
up one shaker, the performer fills It
with white paper and Immediately
pours It back Into the box. Again he
dips the shaker Into tlw box and. with
shoveling motion, tills It and stands
It on a table so that every one tuny
see It. The other shaker he Oils in
tho same wny, but with the blue pa
per. Finally the glass Jar Is filled with
- bran and stood on a tnble by itself.
Over one shaker Is spread one of the
velvet squares and on top of It Is
placed a small, round metal plate. The
other shaker Is covered with the sec
ond velvet square, but without any
metal plute.
"KemcTiiher," says the performer,
"this cup Is tilled with white paper
and that ouo with blue," and, pulling
the velvet piece off one cup, he pours
from It Into n small pitcher about a
pint of milk "Tho milk of uuuiau
kindness as extracted from the dully
pres." .Koiimvl'ig the metal plate nnd
the velvet from the second cup, he
V pour from It Into the first cup "steam
ing Mocha coffee; U" grounds for
complaint." ricking up the paper cyl
inder, he drops It over the upper part
- cf the glass Jar, aud. lifting It up nl
, most Immediately. It Is found that the
bran Is gone ami the Jar Is tilled wtth
Uiimi sugiir
IT Is a showy trick which Is general
ly followed by applause, that sweetest
mimic to a performer. Here Is the
explanation',
, In each box of paper Is n duplicate
shaker, one tilled with milk; the other
with coft'ee Fitted into the mouth ft
at h shaker is a shallow metal saucer,
tbe edges flaring out bo as to rest on
the mouth of the cup. At one rotnt on
tbe ede of each saucer Is soldered a
arnilclrcle ot stiff wire about the size
f dime, so thut tbe performer may
easily grasp it. Ou each saucer Is
fined some bits of tbe paper with
which the shaker is supposed to be
filled. These shakers stanc' upright In
tbe box In such position that the wire
piece of the Saucer will be toward the
performer when he is ready to remove
tbe velvet cover. As he shovels the
paper 'Into the shaker he leaves thai
one In the box. crasps the other tilled
wiih milk or coll re and brngs It but
nine of the loose lilts of paper cling
to rouni' the h;,i. These he brushes

"HE GOT THE GOODS.
Business Deal Between Potter Palmer
and A. T. Stewart.
At the time of the civil war Poller
rainier was In the dry goods business
tu Chicago, aud Levi Z. loiter anil
Marshall Field were working for him
I'altner wasn't so well known, but he
hiul n good repututloii In the trade,
ii ml he didn't have to Introduce him
self when he called ou old A. T. Stew
art to buy some goods. After some
dickering they agreed upon the price,
nnd rnlmer calmly said that he would
take nhout $100,000 worth. It was a
little larger bill than Stewart exactly
enred to sell young rainier on credit,
but be concluded to make the denl and
told hi in to come In the next morning
and arrange some final details. Thai
night, some big war uews came, mur u
didn't require any declaration by the
government to Inform every dry goods
man In the country that the price ot
goods would take a big spurt up
Stewart recognized It as soou as he
bad the news, uud he Immediately
thought of l'nlmer. He ulso thought
of the big bill of goods l'nlmer had
bought of hi in. It didn't particularly
tickle Stewart, that thought didn't.
But It required only a few scratches of
bis red bead to fix things to his satis
faction. He would simply tell rainier
that be was sorry, but that be didn't
feel that be could sell such a big bill
on credit, and as he knew that I'ulmer
couldn't raise the cash Immediately,
why, that would end It, and the sale
would be off. Well, young Calmer
called early, and Stewart greeted him
In his very abruptest manner, telling
him bow sorry he was. etc.. but really
be didn't think it wise business to ex
tend credit for such an atnoulit
"Just bow much does tbe bill come
to?" said yo'ung l'nlmer, seemingly sorrowful-like.
"Just $110,000," Stewart replied, nnd
then be strnlgbtway gulped for breath
as young rainier drew an immense
pocketbook from his iuside vest pocket
and, opening it, counted out 110 thou
sand dollar bills and, laying them
quietly on Stewart's desk, said: "If
you will kindly count them nnd give
me a receipt I'll be obliged, as I must
take tho next train home. Ship tbe
goods soou as you can, and wheu
you're out our way drop In. ' Always
glad to see our friends."
AN ARTFUL REPORTER.
Got
the Oil King Unconsciously to
Submit to an Interview.
rinywrlght Eugene Walter Is num
bered among the newspaper men who
obtained the "first interview with
John D. Itockefellcr." When the First
Interview With Itockefellcr club Is
formed Mr. Wnlter will be one of the
charter members.
This is how he managed it: In the
days when be was a newspaper re
porter in Cleveland Walter was an
extremely youthful looking young
man. He decided to capitalize tils
i puerile appearance, for It was not an
easy task even at that time to get
I Rockefeller to sny anything. He wus
utterly "Improachable," ns a colored
man once remarked.
' Walter got into the Forest Hill '
grounds from tbe rear and walked
about, looking nt the flowers and
shrubbery wltb an apparent lack of
purpose. Just as a boy would.
Rockefeller finally noticed him gaz
ing abstractedly ot o tlfcwer bed and
went up to talk to him.
"Ah, my tine lad," began John D..
"are you fond of flowers ?"-
"Indeed 1 am, sir," replied Walter
In true McGuffcy Reader style.
"Well, 1 am always glad to see a
boy who appreciates the beauties of
nature. Would you care to walk over
and look at tbe pond lilies'
"Ah, sir, I should enjoy that more
than 1 can tell you I" ' '
Thus tbe conversational Ice was bro
ken. 'aud the youthful visitor 'wus so
enthusiastic over nil he saw that tbe
master of Forest Hill passed him out
platitudes for about an hour. The in
terviewer didn't even have to nsk ques
tions. Next morning Walter's Interview
was the best thing In tbe pnper

Speak For Yourself, John,
The Lord Leicester of u. century ago
hud no sous by his first marriage aud,
being well ou in years, was anxious to
see his heir apparent, a nephew, hap
pily wedded. His wish was that a
charming daughter of bis neighbor,
the Earl of Albemarle, should be the
future Lady Leicester. With her and
her sisters he used to enjoy his morn
ing rides. One murfiiig she came
alone, aud during tho rldo ho asked,
thinking to forward his nepheW's in
terests, "Anno, my dear, how should
you like to bo mistress of Holkliam?"
"There Is nothing I should like bettor,"
she replied. "Then I shall send my
iepliew William to court you," suld
tho earl, glad that the fates seemed to
favor his project. Hut tho Indy calmly
aud gravely answered, "I bIiiiII never
bo mistress of llolkliuin on thoso
terms." "Why," cxclulmed tho nston
lslied old gentleman, looking the Indy
hard In the face, "you don't mean to
say you would marry inc!" "Yes, in
deed I would," wus tho answer, "and
nothing I should wish better." And as
a consequence tho nephew did not suc
ceed to tbe earldom. I.oieJoii Chronicle.
Peraeverance.
Tlinour, the greut Asiatic conqueror,
commonly known by the name of Tam
erlane, had extraordinary persever
ance. No difficulties ever led him to
recede from what be bad once under
taken, and he often persisted in bis
efforts under circumstances which led
all around him to despair. On such
occasions he used to rein to to Ills
friend an anecdote of bis enrly life.
"I once," be said, "was forced to take
shelter from my enemies In a ruined
building, where I snt alone many
hours. Desiring to divert my mind
from my hopeless condition, I fixed
my eyes on an ant that was carrying a
grnlu of corn larger thun itself up a
high wall. I numbered the efforts it
mndo to accomplish this object. Tho
grain fell sixty-nine times to the
ground, but tho insect persevered, nnd
the seventieth tlmo.lt reached the top.
This sight gnvo mo courago nt tho mo
ment, nnd I never forgot tho lesson."
The Landscape Near Jerusalem.
Tho country about Jerusalem Is es
sentially a pale country. Indeed, I
often thought It looked stricken, as
If Its pallor bad coinu upon It abrupt
ly, bad been sent to It as a visitation.
I was not sorry that I saw It first
under groyness nnd swept by winds.
The grayncss, the winds, seemed to
mo 'to emphasize Its truth, to drive
home Its reality. And there was some
thing noble in its candor. Even na
ture can tnko on an aspect of trickl
ncss at times, or at least ai certain co
quetry, a daintiness not wholly free
from suggestions of artificiality. Tho
landscape in the midst of which Je
rusalem lies Is dreary. Is sad; In
stormy weather is almost forbidding.
Yet It hns n bnre frankness that ren
ders It dignified, a largo simplicity that
Is very striking. The frame Is sober,
the picture. within it Is nmuzing, and
neither, onco seen, enn ever be forgot

What Happened to Bill.
Mrs. Dixon wus putting Frank, aged
six. and Willie, aged four, to Bleep
with a bedtime story when she wus
suddenly compelled to answer tho
.doorbell. Hastening away with the in
tention pt Immediately returning, Mrs.
Dixon was dotalued by a caller. The
boys grew restless. Flnnily. running to
the top of the stairs, where he knew
his mother could get a perfect view of
him, Frank used nearly all his small
stock of diplomacy in trying to attract
his mother's attention without disturb
ing tho visitor. After several futile at
tempts at gesticulations he called out
in a loud whisper perfectly audible to
both ladles below, "Mamma,- you'd
better come up," then in a most awe
inspiring tone adding, "'cause Bill's
nose Is comln' unwiped!" Youth's

Tibetan Penal Coda.
The Tibetan penal code Is curious.
Murder is puulshed with a flue vary
ing according to the Importance 0f the
slain, theft by a tine tf seven to one
hundred times the value of the article
stolen. Here, again, the line depends
on the social Importance of the person
from whom tbe theft baa been commit
ted. The horborer of a thief is looked
upon as a worse criminal than tbe
thief himself. Ordeals by fire and by
boiling water are still used as proofs
of innocence or guilt, exactly as was
tbe custom in Europe in the middle
ages. And if the lamas never Inflict
death they are adepts at torture.

Of all the superb victuals which, by
tbelr great variety and unique colloca

Arcadia of every man who loves good
eating, the plur.ked shad Is probubly
the most powerful uud poignant in its

Water Under Desarta.
Some of the most curious phenomena
of the world are the underground wa
ter supplies beneath deserts. In the
Itajputnna deserts water Is held In
vast quantities in sandstone beds un
der the scorched surface and Is drawn
up from wells sunk Into tbe strata.
Blkaner raises Its walls In tbe midst
of a weary, almost rainless waste of
sand and depends on these bidden cis
terns for Us very existence. Whence
It comes, where Is the outfall and what
quantity runs under tbe baked sand
remain a mystery. In one well at
Blkaner it has been ascertained that
tho water supply Is equal to 20,000 gal
lons an hour, which Is held to point to
the conclusion that there Is an enor
mous subterranean flow and that tbe
snow fed rivers of tho Himalayas must
be the source. I'eople In Blkaner say
that pieces of wood dropped Into one
-well have come up In another. The
idea of an underground river opens up

Dashing Into Danger,
"When I was younger," a big Broad
way traffic cop remarked, "1 used to
cuss at everybody who Insisted on
dashing across the street in front of a
car or truck. I cuss tbe act still, but
not the person.- Fact is, I've learned
that a majority' of people Just can't
help 1L An approaching vehicle about
to cross their path Is like a red rag to
a bull. It's a sort of challenge, a dare.
And tho Impulse to defeat its purpose
can't be controlled. There Isn't any
plan of action. It's a case of dash
first and think afterward, and some
times, of course, tho thinking Is done
In a hospital.
"It's a sort of disease of the nerves,
I guess, because the head of a busi
ness bouse will do this fool thing Just

the cop and tbe driver are to blame
