Wizard with the Whip. An Austro-Hungarian, named risks lug, has created a sensation in Vienna by his wonderful performances with a whip—some of which are described by the London Tit-Bits: "The first tiling he does is to take a long-lashed, stout-handled whip In each hand, and, with orchestral accompani ment, proceed to crack or snap them at n. terrific rate. The sound made by his whips lu tliis manner is graduated from a noise like n rifie report to the soft click of a billiard ball. It makes a curi ous sort of music, and serves to show how ho can regulate the force of each stroke. "More Interest Is evinced when ho. seizes a vicious-looking whip with an abnormally long lash. It is provided with a very heavy hamfte of medium length. This is his favorite toy, and what he can do with It is really wonder ful. He first gives nil idea of what fear ful force may lie in a whip-lash in the hands of an expert. "A large frame, over which is stretch ed a calf or sheep skin, is brought on the stage. This is marked with dots of red paint. The man with the whip steps up. and swinging the lash round bis head lets fly at the calfskin. With every blow lie actually pulls a piece out of the leather, leaving n clean-cut hole. These pieces are distributed among the audience to show that there is no trickery about the performance. After this he takes a frame with three shelves. On these there are a dozen or moreof medium-sized apples lying very close together and provided with large numbers. Any one in the audience may designate which apple he wishes struck, and tin* unerring lash snatches It out like a flash. "A still more difficult feat is the snap ping of coins from a narrow-necked bot tle. A piece of silver about the size of a half-crown is put over the cork of the bottle, which stands on the edge of a table. The whip artist, without appear ing to take any sort of aim, sends the long lasli whizzing through the air and picks off the coin without jarring the bottle, much less breaking it."

Tho bono cutter is as noooHsary to tho poullryman as his feed mill. It cunbles him to uso an excellont and cheap food, and givos him a profit where ho might otherwise bo com pelled to suffer a loss. It is claimed that tho bono cutter pays for itself in eggs, and really oosts nothing. Bonos nro now ono of the staple articles of food for poultry, and no rations should have them omitted. They are food, grit and lime, all combined in one, and tbo hens will leavo all other foods to receive the cut bono. If out fine, evou chicks and ducklings will relish such excellent food, while turkeys will grow rapidly ou it. To meet with suc cess requires tho use of tho best ma terials, una green bone beats all other substnnees as food for poultry. There is quite n difference between the green, fresh bone, rich in its juices as it comes from tho butchers, and the hard, dry bono which has lost its suc culence.

"I hato to henv people say thoro's no such thing as luck," remarked the melancholy Mr. Doohttle. "I don't seo why," his wifo re joined. "Bceauso it isn't true," he returned with asperity. "A man can go on trying and trying and never get nlong. And some other person will go ahead nud tumblo into good things without making any effort whatever." "Hiram, nogrcut man hussuccoedcd without hard work." "That's tho kind of talk you always hear. But nino times out of teu it is all owing to the opportunity that pre sented itself. Fortune just seems to lie in wait to kidnap soino men. Look at Sir Issue Newton. His name is handed down from generation to generation. And why? Siuiply be cause he was sitting un*er a tree and nu npplo happened to drop on him. You can't protend that n man is in a position to olaim superior merit simply because, through no action or preference of his own, ho gets hit in the head with an apple, oan you?" "No, Hiram." "Then don't tell me about there not being any such thing as luck." "It soems to mo that you'vo chosen a poor example in support of your argument. The caso of fsaao Newton goes to show that the differonco is in the people. If it had been some men thiit I know of instead ot Newton, the first thingathcy would havo done after the applo fell would havo been to go into the house and moan for the arnica bottle; thon tboy would havo spent two or three hours of precious time talking about their bad luck."—Chi cago Times-Herald.

If your room bo stuffy becanso it has becu lived iu too much, or because home doinesticus has indulged too freely iu the soothing nicotine, you may easily render it sweet and habit able once more by placing one-half ounce of spirits of lavondcr and a lump of salts of ammonia in a wide mouthed fancy jar or bottle and leav ing it uncovered. This makes a pleasant deodorizer and disinfectant, filling tho room with a delicate per fume which will bo soothing to the norves and souses, especially during warm woather. Try it.—New York World. CLEANING OSTR'rut FEATHERS, To clouu white ostrich feathers, cut some pure white soap iu Bmall pieces and pour boiling water ou them and add a little mite of soda. When the soap is dissolved and tho water cool enough, dip tho feathers iu aud draw them through the hand. Do this several times until the lather is dirty, thon make a elcan inthor and repout the operatiou. Afterward rinse the feathers in eold water, slightly blued, t'at the feather batvveeu the bauds aud shake them over the fire until they are perfectly dry. Curl them by drawing each fiber between the thumb aud the dull edge of a Bilver kuife. With a little care aud patience the re sult will he all that cau bo desired. -ARE OF HANGING BASKETS IN WINDOWS. Be sure to see that suspended plants get enough water, advises Eben E. Uexford. Most persons complain that they "haven't much luck with hang ing plants." In nine cases out of ten, the fault is their own. A plaut sus pended at the height of one's head above tho floor is iu a stratum of very warm air where evaporation will take olnoe with groat rapidity, and unless water is given frequently and in lib eral quantities tho soil in pot or oasket will bo very dry beforo you know it. The best plan lltnow of for keeping the soil in baskels evenly moist is this: Take a tin cau and make a small hole iu its bottom. Fill this with water md set it on top of the soil in the basket. By watching development a tittlo you oau toll whether the holo in tho cau is too large, too small, or just the right size. It should ho of a size to allow enough water to escapo to koep t'uo soil moist all the time. It is much easier to fill this cau daily, or eftener if necessary, than it is to ap ply water to tho surfaoe of the soil aud liavo enough soak into it to peuetrate ill parts of it. The foliage of the plaut can bo so arranged about tho can as to effectually oouooal it.—Now England Homestead. RECIPES.

I was talking with n printer the other day who worked for a number of years at Fnrmlugton, Minn., for a man by the name of Hquires. At one time he had a partner by the name of Farmer, tlx* linn name being Farmer & Squires. One day when the press was being loaded the dropped out, leaving plain Fanner Squires, ami the edition was run off before it was noticed; Far mer sold out the next day, but it was Farmer Squires' paper from that on. He made a big Success of the paper, al though he didn't know a four-pica lead from a two-revolution Hoe, and he did not do a thing toward running the paper except making contracts for for eign advertising—that was his strong point; lie got hay knives, fanning mills, sewing machines, pile drivers, washing machines for advertising; lie accepted all propositions. Including patent medi cine and scholarships. The printer had (o do the rest; he built the fires, set the type, got the news, attended to the political and moral end of the paper: smoked the wedding cigars; chased over the county on a hay horse after subscribers, took the blame and looked happy—a ml the proprietor edited tho trading end. He traded farm machin ery for cows, hogs, hens, grain, wo oil. anything to sell, eat or burn. Once he had an angry cow tied to the front door of the printing office that he had traded a hay rake for. The cow tore the clothes almost off the mayor of the (own, who rushed Into the office so mad that lie forgot to stop the paper, but IK? scared the devil so bad that he stopped .lis growth. Sometimes there would e an auction at the office, and Squires would stand on the he.l of the Fair haven press and sell a lot of truck so there would he room in the office to get out the paper, hut he never got stuck on anything and finally sold out for a big figure on the strength of his profits, which quit with him.—Grafton Record. Most Idle Nation. The palm would probably go to the Transvaal Republic as regards Its orig inal burgher population. The Boer does Just as little work as will keep himself and family alive, and the most of that he gets done by Kaffir serv ants, who, in the more out-of-the-way districts, at any rate, are practically slaves. In and about the gold fields and industrial centers he just lets his land on mining and other leases to the Outlauder. and does hardly any thing at all. Of European countries it would be hard to choose between Spain and Turkey. In Spain constitutional Indolence, fertile soil and a magnifi cent climate combine to make life one long dawdle. In Turkey the natural thrift and industry of the real Turkish population are paralyzed into Idleness and apathy by the hopelessness of winning anything worth having which will not at once be stolen by official corruption. Prentice's Advice. Once when George D. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, was coming out of a public building in Louisville, lie was about to pass through a double door which opened both ways. 11c started to push at the door on his right. A young man coming from the opposite direction was pushing at the same door, being his own left. Prentice lost pa tience, and throwing himself against the door, it flew open, and the young man went sprawling on the floor. As sisting the youth to rise, Prentice re marked: "Take my advice, my son. keep to tho right in your way through life, and you'll never run against any body but a blamed fool, and you needn't apologize to him."

Nottoapprecintethe importance of their labors is to acknowledge one's ignorance of the methods of trade. They are the most Intrepid nomads that are left on the earth. They live In sleeping-cars and hotels, brave the per ils of the rail, the lunch counter, and the hotel bed; live single or apart from their families, endure all weathers and any company that offers—and nil that the affinity between good goods and solvent buyers may be discerned and triumph. The attention paid to them during tho late campaign attested their importance in the community. Great pains were taken, especially In Chi cago, to equip them with sound fiscal and political sentiments, so that tlicy mlght scatter good seed wherever they Went. Their national organization is building a home at Hinghamton, N. Y., for worthy indigent commercial trav elers and their dependent families. It is to complete this building that the Commercial Travelers' Fair is being held in the Madison Square Garden. It began on the 15th and doses on the 28th, and through it the travelers aspire to raise $150,000. It is a great fair, full of novel shows and managed by people of enterprise.
