An Indian Jugglerm Anteks. There was nothing very, remarkable In the appearance or dress of our conjurer. An elderly man, short and sparely made, dressed In dingy white cotton, wIlth very tight sleeves to his be Vid very tight legs to his drawers, he n ght have been a re spectable servant out of place, but actually was a small land-ownar who had taken to conjuring for his amusement. When he entered the room lie spread a white cloth upn the floor and sat down upon it with hi6 back to the wall, the door of the room being on his right hand. Ilis spectators were disposed of in the following fashion: Mr. Smyth sat on a chair nearly in the middle of the room, I was sitting on a sofa near the door, the Parsee merchant stood In the doorway about arm's length from me. The servants stood about in groups, the largest group being between the door and the conjuror. As soon as lie had settled himself, he turned to the Parsee and asked or the loan of a rupee. The peddler at first demurred a little, but on being guaran eed aat *t los's, hie produced the coin. Ho was oing to put it into the conjuror's aand, but the latter refused and told the Parsee to hand it to Mr. Smyth's bearer. The bearer took it, and at the reguest of the conjuror, looked at it and declared it to I be really a rupee. The conjuror then told him to hand it to his master. Mr. Smyth took It, and then followed this dia'ogue: I Conjuror-Are you sure that is a rupeeg Smyth-Yes. Conjuror'Close your hand on it and I hold it tight. Now, think of sonic country In Europe, but do not tell me your houghts. Then the conjuror ran over the names of several countries, such as France, Germany, Russia, Turkey and America-for the na tive of India is under the impression that America is in Europe. After a moment's pause, Mr. Smith said he had thought of a country. " Then open your hand," said the jug gler; "see what you have got and tell me if it is a coin of the country you thought of." It was a five-franc piece, and Mr. Smyth had thought of France. He was going to hand the coin to the conjuror, but the latter said, "No, pass It to the other salub." Mr. Smyth accordingly put the five-franc piece into my hand; I looked closely at It, then shut my hand and thought of Russia. When I opened It I found, not, a Russian, but a Turkish silver pice about the size of a five-franc piece or of our own I crown piece. This I handed to Mr. Smyth and suggested that lie name America,which lie did, and found a Mexican dollar in his hand. The coin, whatever it was, had never been in the conjuror's haud from the time the rupee was borrowed from the Par see merchant. Mr. Smyth and his hearer 1 had both of them closely examined the ru pee, and Mr. Smyth and I turned over sev eral times the flve-franc piece, the Turkish t coin and the aollar; so the trick did not ( ciepend on a reversible coin. Indeed, it < could not, for the coin underwent three I thanges, as has been seen. I need only add, for the information of those who know not India, that a rupee is only about the size of a florin, and, therefore, about half the weight of a five-franc piece. The jug gler performed several other tricks that day, but they were of a commonplace kind, I and in no way comparable to the coin trick which I have never seen rivalled by any other conjuror in India or Europe.. Too Many Weddings. During the last trip I took over the Pacific Iallroad, I noticed that after we left Omaha the man in the seat In front of me appeared to have something upon his mind. He would scowl dreadfully for a moment, then lie would gaze with ia far away look out of his window. Thenm he~ would dlraw a huge bowie-knife from his cov. pocket, and, after strappling it upon his oot, he wvould run his thumb along the edhge. A fter scowling a fewv minutes more, lie would take omr a revolver, examine the chambers. to assure himself they were loaded, mutter a few vigorous senteuces, and put it away again. I watched him a day or two, andi at last lhe saw me looking at him. Hie said' "I reckon you think I am excitedi about, something? Well I am I I ami going ump to Salt Lake to kill a man."C "Indeed, llow terrible I What's the I matter 1"' ''Well, you scc-by' the way, do you know Jhn Stephens? . ~,no; I think not.". "Well, this is the way it came abouti Twelve years ago Jim and I were friends, and when I got marriedi Jimi madhe me a present of the most splendid silver cake basket you ever saw in your life." "That's not what you are going to kill I him for, is it?" "Of course not I And I felt so grateful that I toek him by the hand, and said. 'Jim, I'll get you a cake basket as hand-1 some as that whenever you are married, as sure as my name is Jonathan Lockwood.' Made him a solid pledge, you know." "Did lie marry subsequently?7" "Marry? 0 thunder 1 Let me tell you aboumt It. About a year after lie went to Utah and became a Mormon. Within a month he sent me cards for his wedding to Hannah Watson. So I went out and bought a sublime cake basket, and for warded it by express. Two weeks later lhe wrote to say that Hannah's sister, Ethel botta, had been sealed to him, and lie askel me out to the wedding." "Did you go?9" "No; but 1 sent him another cake basket. But hardly had a fortnight elapsed when Stephens telegraphed to me that asold Mrs. Watson, Hahnah's and Ethielberta's mother, seemed so lonely now that the girls were -gone, lhe had, concluded to annex lier, also. lHe promised to send full particulars by mall. That night a third resplendent cake basket went west In charge of the express companmy." "You have paid three to one, then." "Three? Walt till I get done. Well, I heard nothing more from him for a year or more, when one day cards came for his marriage with Louisa G. Carboy. I was pretty poor about that time, and hardly able to make presents to anybody, but I had pledged my word ; so out went another kmposig cake basket." "Did he get it ?" "He wrote and said his darling Louisa thought It was beautiful, and he added a posteeript In 'which lie mentioned that he had arranged fo: a further consolidation on the following Thursday with Helene Blk ersam relict of oldBllkershamtime popular hatter.4 "Did you respond ?" "I did ; I borrow06 some money from a friend, and forwarded the m~ost stupen dous cake basket I could find. At thme same time I wrote to him and asked him I if he didn't think It most time to knock off.1 He replied and said he .was sorry I had such narrow vIews about matrimony, par ticularly as he had everything red for an other parriage on the following Tesday with Jane Wllberforce, a charming girl of property." oet'rdi "You.dldn't send on ohrddyou 9" "tO 40ise i Couldn't breaicmy word i She gotithe most impressive cake basket I could 1afay hands on.

Very few of them are reVerse<. Tihe other night the Justice sat in anil easy chair on the shore of the bay. Wavelets rippled over the good-sized pebbles on the beach, and a silvery moonlightedimmed the Chinese lanterni-that swung in the arbor. "Judge" said I, "t y te, 'ne that you once fdl into thle hands of a policeman whil visiting New York, and that lie ac cused you of stealing a silver tea-pot." The Justice smiled and drew his collar up around Il neck, for the night air was a little chilly. "Well," lie replied, "there is a grain of truth In the report, but the inci dents were much exaggerated at the time. My wife had a silver tea-pot, on which she sat great -tore. From constant use it re ceiveA several dents on the sides, and she Was ajixious to have them taken out. I told her tnit when we went to New York we could take the tea-pot down with us, and have some export jeweler pound out the dents. This was ten or twelve years ago. Soon afterward we visited the city and put up at the St. Nicholas I lotel. She had wrapped the tea-pot in anl old newspa per and packed it in the trunk. One after noon after dinner, I tucked it under my cloak and started for Tilfany's. As I was going down the corridor of the hotel I felt a tag on the shoulder. Oin turning, a po lice oflicer caught me by the arm. "I'here's been a good many things stolen in tis hotel lately,' said lie, 'and I i want to see what you've got under your cloak.' "I told hhu that I was a guest, and that I was taking my wife's silver tea-pot to the jeweler's to have the dents taken out of it. lie gazed at me doubtfully for a few seconds, and walked away as though perfectly satis fled. I went across Broadway, left the tea pot at Tiffainy's, and returned to. the hotel within a few minutes. As I was going up to our room I met the saie officer. Think ing lie had consulted the register and learn ed who I was, I said: '1 presume you are now perfectly satisfied that I am all right?' "1 'Oh, yes,' lie answered. '1low did you find out ?' I asked. 'Find dut ?' lie repeated, in anll off hand manner. 'Why, I followed you, of course.' I y The Justice paused, and a small meteor flashed in the moonlit sky. "I have never seen the man since," lie continued, after a yawn, "but I have always thought that lie displayed remarkable comion sense." Resend from Hoars. In Montreal, Joe Boef, has a bear pit under his canteen in Comnion street. It extends all along iuder the house, and is roled over by a big black . bear weigbing over 400 poumds. Tnere are also a she bear and two comparatively young cubs, which Joe reckons among his domestic pets. Strangers frequently visit the place and are generally escorted to see the bears through a trap-door in the floor. Recently, while a colored preacher was holding ser vice in the "'singing room," three American strangers came to visit the place, and the tral) door was thrown open to show the bears. While Joe went into the bar-room his little boy, six years old, went too near the edge and fell into the (ell. The old bears were in a dark corner, but one of tile cubs at once ran towards the child, who had uttered a frightened scream. The cook lay down on the floor anl reaching down caught thle little fellow and raised him up. The she bear had heard the child's cries and~ with a growl rushed towards the trap) d ooor and seized the child just as lie was be inlg lifted up. Thle little fellowv was in an Instant dIragged into the den, encircled by the claws of the old she bear. Joe hearing the noise wichl the fearful sight caused caime to tile dloor anid asked wvhat was the matter. Seeing lisa child, at, It were, in the jaws of death, lie did not hesitate for a me m lent to think, but leaped from the floor into the. pilt, lightning on the head of one of the bears, He maniaged by a frantic effort to tear his child from the savage monster aiid thirewv him behmnd. In another instan~t lie haunded the little fellowv up among tihe almost parlhized spectators. The muen around seetned so suddlenly struck with ter ror that they could do nothing to hl~cp Joe, whlo had placed himnself in such Imminent danger. The moment the child wvas out of tile pit the she bear growled fiercely and sprang on Joe, who hiad no arms to dlefend hhufelf. The savage brute seized him by the right knee, throwing him on lisa back. 11er teeth were driven fully an mch deep into his flesh. He was was thlen complete ly at the mercy of the animal, whlose tame ness hadi disappeared, 1,t being enraged at having tile. child taken away. The men looking on st~ill seemed powerless to hlelp, though one of tile visitors had a revolver In lis pocket. Joe, hlowever, did no)t lose lia presence of mmld, but seized a b~rick~ wJ)lich lay .llear'hh, an'd stirlzbk the ?bea~odii thu. snout with all his might.

Joe was then rescued from- tile pit, his loge being covered- with blood. The trousers' which he had on were torn to shreds and his stoc kings were saturated with blood. Thle child had not been Injured at all beyond a lIght scratch on tile head. Joe says that the she bear was alwvafs a contrary beast, and that when 'he trained hler first 110 used to put her In a puncheon of water and pushl her hlead under 'with a broom, and 'when the culb was nearly drowned it would bite the broom. Joe refused all muedical attendance and applied hiighwines to the bites. A WonderAlt MII. There is a mull near BradfOrd, in York Ishire, England, which, when set at work at the begianing of the week, goes on witha out attenutlon or care, except to keep thle engine running, until Saturday night, and . would continue working indetinitely until tile machinery was worn out if it were Blip-. piled with materIal, turning out constaIntly," night and day, thle finished goods, which are cords and trimuminigs of various kinds of silk and -wool. No persons- are em ployd In it except the engineer, a book keepr, a feiw ch&Uiers of machinery and p cers fdput ulp tihe finishled product' for market. Mr. .tunas, the inventor' and owner of thIs mill, Is a- man of great in-, ventive resources, but-not hitherto remark.. ably prosperous. Throlugh some disagree ment with a company whlih had purchased tihe rlghit. to use certain of lisa inventions, he has lately been thr~own Into bankruptcy, but is still cheery and self-rellant. A nIght visit to the mill Is thus described: " As we approached the mill through the darkness, thieroar and rattle of machInery .ould be haeerd high above the gurgijngo ile brook. We sat on the bridge. . The dark outline of thie mill could -be seen,:and from it come the busy sound of machinery. It was a gaht -at work In the dark. The electrio ight.is of no use to Mr. Bin.

And as he won't le mne off from my promise I'm going out t( massacre him.

Then Mr. Lockwood turned glooml: iway, sharpened his knife again on hi oot, ind relapsed into silence. It was a little hard on hin, I think my Dory-Fishuing. With, perhaps, an exception In favor o he capricious canoe, there Is no species o ,raft, which can glide from beneath its utn iccustomed occupant with more startlinE 3ase than a fisherman's dory. This charac cristic, with the fact that it is light, sharp tarrow, and flat-bottomed, suggests to th iverage landsnan that a dory is not a very mfe craft. Yet the (uestion of safety de )ends largely upon the man having th( nanagement. If skilfully handled, a dory Avill ride out a gale in midocean with corn )mrative ease, when a ship's long boa ,voild probably be swamped.
