Exploits of a Fakir. In a short time the fakir bad sufficiently recovered lroin hie trance to stand up. and when the sheik pointed to the brazier, be thrust hie hand into it, seized some of the live coals, blew them until they' emitted sparks, bit off pieces of them, as one would bite an apple, and eagerly ate them up. He then went to a large priekly cactus, which was standing on the platform, plucked a leaf armed with strong spines, bit of a piece, and swallowed it. With equal avidity he crunched avw? nf rrl u Cftjuu VV'JUOUiliCVi bum cuvviv v* Fragments of the cactus and the glnss were handed to the spectators, who examined them and convinced themselves that they were really the substances they were represented to he. An attendant brought in a shovel, the iron part of which was red hct, so that a bit of paper thrown upon it flashed at once into flame. The fakir took the wooden handle ol the shovel with the right hand, placed his left on the glowing iron plate, which he also licked with apparent relish, and then stood ? upon it with his bare feet until it bo came black. This last exploit filled the air with a faint odor of burned horn. A sword, so sharp that it cut a piece of paper in two when drawn across the edge, was handed to the fakir, who thrust it with all his force against his throat, his breast and hie Bides. Tee sword was tnen neiu m a horizontal position about tliree feet from the ground with the edge upward, by the servant who took hold of the point, which was wrapped in several folds of cloth for the protection of his hand, and by another 'Aissaui, who held it by the hilt. The fakir placed his hands on the shoulders of the two men and, leaping up barefoot on the edge of the 6word, stood there for some seconds. He then stripped and, resting his naked abdomen on the edge of the sword, balanced himself in the air without touching the flocr with his feet, the eheik meanwhile pressing down upon the fakir's back with the whole weight of his body. ?

An English woman, Mrs. Sidgwick, has been for some time engaged in gathering vital statistics concerning the women who have studied at Oxford and Cambridge. She has gotten data about some 600 of them, and says that these women and their children prove to be above the British average of physical perfection. An exactly similar result has followed the researches of the Association of College Alumnje in this country, where a very much larger number of cases were ..used to base deductions upon. The higher education of women, so far from being a danger to their physical health, is a positive benefit.?New Orleans Picayune. JEWELS 07 AX AMERICAN COUNTESS. The jewels of the youthful Countess Craven, says a London society gossip, will probably excite some envy among our society ladies. It is not often that a bride of eighteen can boast the possession of three such superb pieces of jewelry as the magnificent tiara of diamonds, a duplicate of the Empress Josephine's, given to her daughter by Mrs. Bradley-Martin; the exquisite and very valuable necklace of three rows of perfectly matched pearls, which was the present of her grandmother, Mrs. Sherman, the widow of the founder of the family fortune; and the beautiful old diamond collarette, taken from her own wedding presents of half a century ago by the Dowager Countess Craven as a wedding gift to her 6on's bride. HAND-MADE UNDERWEAR. For thousands of years refined femininity has delighted in needlework. And even in our day, when the ingenuity of man has invented the wonderful machines that work with such -i i-A J ?? ausoiuiti twjcurtwjy uuu C.U|UIDIIC UCMIU, needlework, pure and simple, has never been held in higher estimation or taken as a greater indication of refinement and dainty living. Handmade underwear is, therefore, in as great demand as ever, in spite of the perfection of machinery; and there are quantities of rich and ultra-fastidious women who never allow machine work of any kind upon their body linen. All the fine stitching, elaborate embroidery, and even the lace itself, must be made by hand. When it is considered that a great number of women are necessarily helped to make a livelihood by such pretty extravagance, it is seen to be a fad that cannot be too highly commended; but while milady indulges her luxurious instincts, her kind heart should teach her to be womanly as well as dainty, and she should order these "cunningly wrought garments" from the sewing women themselves. THE DAINTY GLOVE. Dainty gloves have always a special fascination to a woman who studies her attire at all, and even in these items there are points to be studied if one would be up to date. The shops are now Bhowing all the new makes of gloves for the spring and summer season, and a really wonderfully attractive show it is. There are kid and suede glores in a host of different shades, from the lightest tan to the darkest seal' brown, and including some very charming delicate shades of fawn, drab and stone color, while the gray shades are positively lovely, varying from French gray to the darkest slate. The very light grays with broad stitchings in black will be very fashionable, and are exceedingly pretty. So, too, are some four-button black Brussels kid with bright colored sewing down the fingers and twist stitching on the backs. These fasten with big buttons, and are quite the newest thing, and will be much worn this season. A stout chevrette suede, more durable than ordinary suede, wearing admirably, in fact, and having selftwist points, is to be found this season. In kid and suede gloves the number of different colors is wonderful, includ ing inauve, petunia, lilac, heliotrope, old rose, rose pink, salmon, old gold, cream, ficelle and all the very newest shades for evening wear.?New York Commercial Advertiser. SUPERIORITY OF THE AMERICAN GIRL. While possessing charm and ability, the American girl canuot be eaid to be greater in beauty than the English girl. In fact, the American women are not noted for physical charm. Their complexions have not the couleur de rose of other nations. The piquancy and abandon of the French woman far surpasses that of this favorite of ours. And in personal ornamentation she is her rival most decidedly, and with accomplishments more varied. Where is that charm of voice that is so "excellent a thing in woman ?" We posL<nou iwkl TVip finft. pnflprtpnc fhp mellowness of tones, are not ours. What attribute so clever does this creature possess that wins all hearts? What charm tloes she wield that entrances all beholders? Perhaps it is the liberty that is accorded her, the freedom from restraint, the independence of thought, that gives her this manner so bewitching, a graciousness to persuasive, a persor ality so captivating. Here is a yonn girl who maintains herself with cred: and respect under all adverse circun stances; who defends her person wit i.1?

All these qualities are he: And something more which makes he of our land the ruler! We cannot d< fine it. But we know that across tl ocean, in Eastern lands, on every ehoi where this charm of her presence felt, this indefinable gift of her cha acter is honored and appreciated, tl question is, who is she? Why, tl American girl!?Harper's Bazar. GIRLS IN SLEEPING CARS. The wise girl knows that nothing quite so desirable for wear in the Blee; ing car as a wrapper of dark colon flannel. It may be stated as a positr fact that women who try to make thei selves look coquettish in a sleepii car, and wear elaborate negliges or la trimmed wrappers, show extremely b* taste, writes Buth Ashmore in a seaso able article on "The Art of Travelii Easily" in the Ladies' Home Jourm Experience has taught that a wrapp of soft flannel in stripes of black ai blue, made in the simplest. fashion, most useful. When she is ready to ( to bed, and the porter arranges h berth for her, she goes to the toil room, taking -with her her sha strapped package. She removes h< shoes and stocks, puts on the knitt< slippers that she has taken out of h bag, removes any garments which s] pleases, and assuming her wrappe which has been folded in her sha strap, repairs to her berth. Aft fastening the buttons of the curtail she disposes of her clothing as bt she can, folding each article smooth and carefully, and placing her mone watch, and tickets in her wrapp pocket. And then she should try rest?the porter will call her in go< season, and her ticket will not be ask for during the night. In her sha strap, which shows as its outer wra ping a shawl or traveling rug, she m have her own pillow if she desires | But this is not a necessity, as the cs are supplied with linen that is usuai fresh and clean.

The signal of hoisting was given by the sound of a whistle, and the man to whom fell the duty oi blowing this 6tood out of sight of the engine attendant. !I7 One day Frankie and a small friend were standing as close to the rope as pal they were allowed to come when the ng whistler was called away for a moment. The man who made the stone fast wenl ,he for a drink of water, and the two boye iol crept up to the tackle. Unluckily the other boy spied the le{^ whistle lying on a timber, and just as rB? Frankie had seized the rope his friend gave a shrill blast. The engine inside the sned began to ' a puff, and, with a squeal, up went J 7 Frankie into the air. The workmen came running, shouting to the attendlet ant to reverse the machine, and to the sle boy not to let go. The lad was up to the second story before he could be jly stopped, but here a carpenter managed ill- to seize him and draw him unhurt into a window. j?. "You did well to hold on, little felJow," he said, as he got the boy into es. Bafety.

What u Sinioou Is. 'Perhaps the Asiatic type of cyclone, kDOwn as the simoon, is the most remarkable phenomenon of the earth," began Colonel Samuel Knoop, who is at the Laclede. "In my travels about the world I have never as yet observed any such appalling scene as that of a simoon sweeping its course in the distance. Cvcloncs in this Western hemiepere are usually accompanied by great masses of clouds and drenching rainetorms. The simoon of Asia is quite different. I have stood on the Arabian desert where my eye could sweep the distant horizon in every direction without encountering one object to vary " ? **" ?

Such knowledge was of little avail, however, for on that wide limitless stretch of inland sea, like the great bosom ol the ocean, one place was as safe ns another. "The great sand storm would come and sweep its way without any Melinite path and with no prospect of any sudden variation from its course. Here we have a storm heralded Dy fierce winds, clouds, lightning and, thunder.

The speck in question does not develop into a eky mantle ox clouds, but its destructive force is none the less diminished.
