JUGGLER’S TRICKS, f >
FEATS THAT 8EEM TO PASS THE BOUNDS
OF POSSIBILITY.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
“When I was younger,” said an
amateur juggler after dinner, “and
waa travelling aronnd the country
with the idea in my bead that the
office of Americans was to teaeb
the world as a consequence I often
got left, as the Arabs say. On this
occasion I went to spend the night
nt a nativo village four or live miles
inland, where it wns reported that
a famous juggler lived. We wore
a jolly party, all besides myself be
ing sailors, and having a bard time
riding on the native ponies they
bad provided ns with; but after
many capsizes we managed to
reaon our destination, where we
found the fakir and made up a
purse of about *3, without which
nothing could be done. Some oi
bis trioks beat anything 1 ever
came across.
“He was a tall, thin, olive-lined
fellow, with long blaok hair caught
up behind and tied with a string.
He was extremely reticent, and
all through tho performance never
smiled nor uttered a word. The
first trick was to arrango our party
about him in a eirclo ol about thirty
feet in diameter, and we were so
olose together that no one could
pass out without our knwing it.
To prevent such a possibility he
gave us a cord to hold. Tills beiU|
done ho and a smaller native wit!
a bundle of wood took their places
in the centre. The yonng man ar
ranged the wood in a pile and light
ed it, and when it blazed up the
older man seized hlm.^hrow him
upon the flames and held him down.
Immediately there aroso a dense,
suffocating smoko that seemed
mixture of flesh and sandalwood.
It rose above their heads and
spread about until it completely
bid them, and from it came such
groans that sovoral of the men
called out that we had better take
a band, as tho boy was being mur
dered. But I reminded them that
it was only a trick, no mattor bow
realistic. We waited perhaps flve
minutes, when tho yells ceased and
the smoke gradually cleared away
and there stood tbo old fakir alone,
tbo young man having to all in
tents and purposes been burned
He was scooping something irom
tho Are—evidently ashes—into a
flask which was banded to u« and
passed around—tho cremated re
mains of the assistant.”
“But," interrupted a gentleman
at the foot of the table, “didn’t he
slip oat in the smoko?” “There
was no place to go to,” was tho re
ply, “as we were in n clearing away
from trees or bushes. But the
strangest part is to come,” he con
tinued. “After passing the flask
around he took it back and placed
it in the centre of tho circle, and
n some wood under it lighted
nost immediately the flask'
began to grow before our eyes; the
Are blazed and a rich odor of san
dalwood floated about, and in ten
minutes the flask had expanded un
til it was the size of a largo keg.
The fire was then put out, and we
were beckoned to come nca. and ex
amine. I touched it, and it seemed
ajar of earth made of piaster or
mud; it bad a ringing sonnd as I
struck it with my seal ring, and, to
the hand wan hot. After looking
it over we returned to our places;
the old fakir then took tho hammer
waved His hands in the air, uttered
some mystic words, and struck the
vessel a hard blow that broke it
in pieces, when out stepped the
boy wo bad seen cremated, as
bright as you please. I should be
glad to have the trick sol veil, but
bnvc never found any one who
could satisfactorily explain it.
Some aver that the old fakir con
cealed the young man with bis own
person, but that was simply impos
sible, as I felt of tho fakir myself
and bo had nothing on but bis
shirt, open in the back, and a pair
of trousers.
These tricks are as remarka
ble,” continued the story teller,
“as those Polo claims to have wit
nessed in China ycats ago.
“One of these consists In the eon-
juror taking a ball of wood that
bad been perforated in several
place*, end through whiolt string*
were passed, and hurling it into
the air. Up it went dragging the
string after it,and finally disappear
ing. The bead man now instructed
n boy assistant to mount, which bo
did,climbing up the cord,until Dual
ly the spectators lost sight of him,
or thought they did. The fakir now
semed to he In distress at losing
him, and called londly; then, as if
in a rage, be seized the rope and
clambered up after him, having a
knife in hlo mouth. In a few mo
ments a dismembered leg, all
bloody, fell to the earth; then an
other, several Ungers, and finally
the head and trunk. Finally the
old fakir himself appeared, his
olothes covered with gore, looking
like a butcher.
“As soon as he recovered from
his evident exertion he went
through some mummery, and col
lected the dismembered and bleed
ing parts, gave the body a push
waved his hands over it, and seiz
ing tbo body hy tho head jerked it
to its feet, and off it walked, noth
ing tbo matter with it.
“In Bangkok a similar feat was
witnessed a few years ago by Mr.
Churchill. The juggler tossed a
rope ladder into tho air and sent
goats, dogs, eats, boys and alliga
tors up ono alter another. All of
them appeared running toward him
from a distant quarter ten minutes
later. These are tricks that seem
almost superhuman, yet are ludi
arously simple when known.”
i Word for the Cranks.
Cranks, my son? The world is
full of them.' What would wo do
were it not for tho cranks? How
slowly the tired old world would
move, did not the cranks keep it
rushing along. Columbus was
crank on the subject of American
discovery and circumnavigation,
and at last he met tbo fate of most
cranks, wo a thrown into prison, and
died in poverty and disgrace.
Greatly venerated now? Oh, yes,
Telemachus, we usually esteem a
crank most profoundly after we
starve him to death. Harvoy was
a crank on tho subject of the cir
culation of the blood; Oalileo was
an astronomical crank, Fulton was
a crank on the subject of steam
navigation; Morse was a telegraph
crank; all the old abolitionists were
cranks. Tho Pilgrim fathers were
oranks; John Bunyan was a crank;
any man who doesn’t think as yon
do, my son, is a crank. And by
and by, the crank you dospise will
have his namo In every man’s
mouth, and a half completed monu
ment to his momory crumbling
down in a dozen cities, wbilo no
body outside of your native vil
lage will know that you ever lived.
Deal gently with the crank, my
hoy. Of course, somo cranks arc
crankier than others, but do you
bo very slow to sneer at a man be
cause be knows only one thing and
you cant understand him.
A crank, Telemachus, is a thing
that turns something, it makes the
wheels go round, it insures pro
gress. True, it turns tho same
wheel all the lime, and it can’t do
anything else, but that’s what kcops
the ship going ahead. Tbo thing
that goes in for variety, versatility,
that changes its position a hundred
times a day, that is no crank; that
is the weather vano, my son. What?
You nevertheless thank heaven you
are not a crank? Dent do that, my
son. May bo you couldn’t ho a
crank, if you would. Heaven is not
very particular when it wants a
weather vane; almost any man will
do for that. But when it wants a
crank, my boy, it looks about very
carefully for the best man in the
community. Before you thank
heaven that you are not a crank,
examine yourself carefully, and see
what is the great deficiency that

The First Hale or New ('ottou.
Houston, Tex., July 24.—The
first hale of the new cotton crop
was received here to-day. The
cotton was grown by Dr. R. L.
Harris at Pcttsviile, Fort Rend
connty. The bale weighed 370
pounds nnd was classed low mid
dling. A second nuw bale was
shipped today from Cuero, DeWitt
county, consigned to a cotton fac
tor in this city.* It was grown by
0. H. Amccko & Son, at Amcckc-
ville, DeWitt county. Thus for
six successive years the first bale
has bale of new cotton in the
United States has been produced
in Texas and shipped to Houston.
Reports from all sections of the
cotton belt state that the cotton
crop, though fully two weeks late,
is in splendid condition. In a few
localities rain Is needed.
VANCE AS A JOKER.
THREE ANECDOTES OF TIIE FOPUI.AR
NORTH CAROLINAS.
Vance, of North Carolina, is a
largo, heavily-built man, with a
heavy gray mustache, a twinkle in
in his eye, and a lover of a joke
that knows no limitation, says an
exchange. He is an inexhaustible
story teller, and he is rarely caught
witbo.ut some retort or reparteo at
band. A newspaper man telling
him one day that he was about
starting for a rather out of the way
portion of the Senator’s own State,
and was asking something about
the accommodation ho was likely
to And. “They’ll give you some
of their fried hog aad eggs,” bo re
plied. “That’s better than noth
ing,” said the newspaper man. “I
don’t know—I don’t know,” the
Senator answered in n dubious
tone. “I’ve tried both.”
Vance was in tho Southern army,
and is little lame as the result. Ho
was in one battle before Richmond,
where the fighting was particularly
hot. A startled rabbit appeared
for a moment on a fallen tree, and
then, at a murderous discharge of
musketry, darted like an arrow for
tho underbrush. General Vanco
had noticed him, and as he flew for
cover the General called out, in a
manner that left no doubts as to
his absolute sincerity: “Go it,
cotton-tail I If I hadn’t a reputa
tion to maintain I would run too.”
One of the liveliest campaigns
that was ever carried on in North
Carolina was the ono In which
Vanco and Judge Settle competed
for tho Governorship. They car
ried on a joint debato. All the
white Democrats turned out to hear
Vance, and ail the colored Repub
licans to hear Settle. On one oc
casion, at the conclusion of the
ig, Vanco was informed that
there were somo charming young
ladies who desired to testify their
devotion to the Democratic party
by kissing the Democratic candid
ate for Governor. Nothing loath,
Vance descended from the platform
and kissed a dozen or so yonng
beauties from tho Old North State,
when he paused long enough to
turn around to his oompolitor anil
shout: “Settle, I’m kissing my
women; you kiss yours I” On ac
count of their raco and previous
condition of servitude, Sottlo did
not kiss tho femlnino Republicans.
Invalids for whom koumiss is
prescribed will hardly care to pay
extravagant prices for it at the
drug store when they learn that it
can ho made for fifteen cents a
quart with very little trouble. Fill
a quart bottlo to tho shoulder with
good milk; then dissolve two table-
spoonfuls of white sugar in a little
water at high heat; add it to the
milk and drop a quarter of a two-
cent eakc of yeast—tho latter must
bo fresh—into the mixture. What
remains to bo douo is mcrclyjto
stopper tho bottlo securely; shake
tho contents well together; leave
tho mixture to ferment for six
hours at any temperature from 00
to 95Jdcgrecs F.: cool it In tho ice
box over night, and drink it at
leisure.
The dwarf trees of China arc
very curious examples of what may
be done to ohango tbo habits of
species. Tho tap roots and any
others which show a tendency to
strike downwards are kept back,
and after a long treatment by this
method, healthy, symmetrical oaks,
chestnuts, pines and cedars are
produced which, when fifty years
old, are not a toot high, and are
kept in pots as any othor pot-plant
would be.
It is said that Lulu Hurst’s en
tertainments in New York netted
her father *4,000. That is consid
erably more, perhaps , tb*n Mr.
Horst bu made out of his Georgia
farm during the last ten years. It
is also said that the slender youDg
man who introduces Lnlu to her
audiences has fallen in love with
the Wonder and wants to marry
her. The old gentleman, however,
thinks that white Lulu is drawing
in the shekels so rapidly they had
better delay the matrimonial put
of the programme. i
The generator of a steam engine
in Orleans, France, suddenly shot
up from its fastenings, smashed
the cornices of two houses, knock
ed over a dustman’s cart, set fire
to a crowded fralt store, knocked
over flve workmen, sailed over sev
eral blocks of houses like a sky
rocket, and came down in the mid-
die of the street without hurting
anybody to speak of, and with its
glass watcrlcvci intact. Nobody
has yet explained this astonishing
freak.
