[FAMOUS ILLUSIONS. !* SOME SECRETS OF PROFESSIONAL CONJURERS REVEALED. Bow the Mysteries Are Destroyed i and the Tricks Shorn of Their ' s Charm by a Peep at the Mechanism 1 ; Behind the Scenes. ? A behind the scenes view of the fa- j mous illusions with which conjurers j have mystified and delighted genera- j tion after generation has peculiar fasci- ; nations. There are few of us who value our own childish illusions so highly that we will not part with them j for the fun of seeing now we nave Deen fooled. Here are examples of some of the best known tricks: The box trick is a3 clever as well known and as old as any. A heavy, brass bound chest is exhibited. An assistant is placed in a large canvas bag, the mouth of which is securely fas- ' tened, and the bag is placed in the chest, which is locked and roped. The box is concealed for a few seconds, and when it is revealed the occupant is sitting upon it, the closed and sealed bag beside him. The cords and ; seals on the box are intact. This astonishing feat is accomplished thus: The occupant of the bag has inserted a wooden plug in the mouth while the tying is being done. When ( ^ the chest is locked, he pulls it out, slips r out his hand, pulls off the cords, gets out and replaces the cords over the top of the sack. By the time the chest is roped he is j free. The chest has a secret opening, j usually at the end, and while it is hid- j den he crawls out. A slim man is usually employed to do the trick. The vanity fair trick is one of the j most baffling in the repertory of the j black art. A woman stands before a ! large mirror about ten feet high and j placed in a heavy frame. About three j feet from the floor is a small shelf : placed against the mirror, the bottom / of which is about eighteen inches from the floor. The glass having been duly Inspected, the young woman mounts the shelf. }She then turns to arrange her hair by the mirror. She is asked to face the audience, but again and again turns her back, hence the name of the I trick. Finally, losing patience, the perform- j thrn?ta n Rmnll srrppn in front of i her, fires a pistol at the spot where she was standing, snatches away the screen, and she has vanished. The top. bottom and sides of the mirror have been in view all the time and j only the center has been hidden for a few seconds. The secret lies in the fact that the lower part of the. mirror is made double, the bottom of the upper pafrt being concealed by a second sheet of silvered glass placed in front of it. The shelf fits against the line of junction, and enables the mirror to-be | examined by the audience. As soon as j the screen is placed the mirror slides up about a foot into the top of the * frame. The bottom of this mirror is | cut away in the middle, leaving a hole about eighteen inches square, which was previously concealed from view i by the double glass at the tase. Through this hole the lady instantly slips, and escapes by a board which j has been pushed forward from behind the scenes while the vanity fair byplay was going on. The glass then , slides down again, the screen is re- j moved, and the mirror appears just as solid as it was before. Another of the most astounding feats of modern magic is that of making a person or object apparently float in the air. A couple of ordinary chairs are placed on the stage?well toward the back, which is draped with black cloth ?and ujkju these is laid a broad, thick plank. A young lady is then introduced and is assisted to place herself in a recumbent position on the plank. He then draws aside the chairs, and the plank, with the lady on it, remains apparently suspended in the air. To prove that the plank is not supported, the exhibitor takes a large hoop and passes it backward and forward over and around the plank. Yet there is an attachment. As soon as the lady is placed in position on the board a carriage, placed behind the black curtain and supporting a strong iron bar twice bent upon itself, is pushed forward by an assistant so that the iron bar, which is covered with black cloth, comes out through a slit in the curtain while the exhibitor is pretending to mesmerize the lady. The , bar has at its end a very strong clip, and the performer, while making his hypnotic passes, guides this on to the board. The chairs are then removed, and the board remains suspended by the invisible iron bar. The hoop is passed along from one end until it reaches the bend where the bar passes through the curtain. The performer passes it round the end of the board and himself walks behind, passing the ring along in the opposite direction. Next it is brought back again, and the effect is such that the average spectator is convinced that the hoop has really been passed over the lady and the board from end to end. Another very effective illusion, arranged upon the same principle, show3 the head and bust of a lady supported on a three legged stool resting on a small table. One can apparently see not only between the legs of the table to the back of the stage, but through ' At. _ -X 1 ^ 4.-U ^ 4.^ the space Derween tee sukjj auu me iable. ' In this case the three legged stool is arranged with mirrors precisely in the tripod illusion, but the table, which has four legs, is managed differently. A large mirror is placed diagonally under the table, joining to opposite leg*. Thus the spectators really only see# three of the legs, the fourth being simply the reflection of the first.?New .York World. A GOOD PRESCRIPTION. Laughter as a Stomach Care and an Aid to Health. Worry is but one of the many forms of fear, so that vrorrv tends to the production of indigestion. Indigestion tends to put the body of the subject in a condition that favors worry. There is thus established a vicious circle Which tends to perpetuate itself, each element augmentiug the other. It is necessary to secure a cheerful, wholesome atmosphere for the dyspeptic. He should eat his meals at a table where there is good fellowship and where funny stories are told. He should himself make a great effort to contribute his share of this at the table, even if it be necessary, as it was in one case under my care, for him to solemnly and seriously collect funny paragraphs from the press, and at first interject them spasmodically during lulls in the conversation at the table. The very efforts and determination of the mar to correct his own silent habits at table, to correct his feelings of discouragement and worry, were in themselves a promise of success. The effort made was adequate to the obstacles to be overcome. He succeeded, and the spectacle of that man trying to ! be funny at table when he felt tlior- J oughly discouraged and blue is one we j shall never forget. Laughing is in itself also a useful exercise from the standpoint of digestion. It stirs up all the abdominal ! organs, it increases the circulation of | the blood, it increases peristalsis, it increases the secretion of gastric juices. Five minutes' deliberate laughing after each meal would be an excellent pre- , Bcription for some people.?Family Doctor. THE BIRTH OF JAPAN.

Yzanaghi, apparently more enterprising than philosophically inclined, seized his shimmering spear and plunged it into the black and seething flood. Pulling it up again, he discovered seven salt drops on its diamond point, which, dropping, condensed and formed the island of Cusokorosima. Thereupon Yzanaghi and his spouse selected the spot of earth which had thus been created as their permanent dwelling place and peopled it with innumerable genii of animal and. plant life and spirits of the elements. And around this "palace of immortality" rose eight other islands?Awadsit the island of foam: the mountainous Cho, Yamato, blessed with fruit; Yyo, unsurpassed in its beauty; the quinquangular Tslkousi. Sado, rich in copper and gold; Yki, one of the pillars of heaven, and Oko, surrounded by three satellites.

When j the lady said to him in sympathizing | tone, "How tired your foot must be!" ! the man raised his eyes and said: "No, i ma'am; it isn't the foot that works that's tired. It's the foot that stands. , That's it" If you want to keep your strength, ! use it. If you want to get tired, do I nothing. As a matter of fact, we all i know that the last man to give a help!

Put the same man in the woods and let Indian captors bind him to a tree for torture and he would struggle to the last against the bonds. When the stomach is diseased there are bonds being woven every hour about the organs dependent on the stomach? heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The folly of mankind is to passively submit to the fastening of these bonds with no effort to escape until the pain they cause arouses fear. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures diseases of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs, when these diseases, as is often the case, have their origin in the diseased stomach. "For a long time I was suffering and was hardly able to get about," writes Mr. Andrew J. Jennings, of Thomas, Tucker Co., W. Va., Box 194.. "Was bothered with kidney trouble and my whole system was out of order; had no appetite. A friend of mine told me to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I did so and the first bottle restored my appetite. I took si* bottles of ' Golden Medical Discovery' and some of the * Pleasant Pellets' and feel like a new person."

A Qneer Kind of Arannment on Pacillc Ocean Inland. Writing on "Our Equatorial Islands" In the Century, James D. Hague says: It became an amusing diversion to overturn the large flat stones beneath which the rats were hiding in solid masses and watch them as they scampered in all directions, pursued and quickly snatched up by the man-o'-war hawks. These crafty birds were apt to learn that the appearance of a mau walking on the island, especially with a dog, meant rats for them, and any one thus going forth was usually followed by a hovering hock, ready and impatient for the sport they had learned to expect. A rat brought to baud by the dog was quickly tossed in * air. -where the birds were ready to snatch it. sometimes with a contest 011 the wing for the disputed possession. One form of this sport, a sort of aerial polo, which seemed to be as good fun for the birds as for the observers, con sisted in tossing two rats into the air at the same moment, not singly and apart, but tied together with about six feet of strong twine. Instantly the birds made a dash for the rats, and the successful winner of the first prize went sailing oil with one rat in his bill and the other swinging in the air beneath until snatched by the second winner, when, after a quick, sharp struggle and a taut strain on the cord, the bird with the weaker hold was compelled to let go. This then went on as*a continuous performance, with somewhat Jonah-like but rapidly repeated disappearances and reappearances of the little rats, swallowed and reluctantly disgorged by +1\ /-? n 1 A/1 APfil A r* 4r V\ LLiC UHUS Jli 4UH.a BUI.V.CB81UU tllii.ll cue flock, thoroughly exhausted by their Impetuous flight and extraordinary exercise, alighted on the ground for a i short truce, when the two temporary stakeholders would be found sitting face to face, keenly eying each other from opposite ends of the string still connecting them, each anxiously on the sharp lookout for sudden jerks and unpleasant surprises, while all the other pursuers gathered around in a ring, waiting for the two prize birds to- fly. The general aspect of all participants , seemed to verify the familiar adage that the pleasure is not in the game, but in the chase. A Fine Liver Cure. Greenville, TenD.
