Now that Hermann the Great is gone, there can be no harm in explaining how his wonder¬ ful trick of catching the bullets shot at him by six National Guardsman was done. It will be remembered that Hermann performed the striking feat twice for the benefit of the Her¬ ald free ice fund-once on Au¬ gust 1 , 1891, and again last May. On both occasions the famous prestidigitator stoo l alone up on the stage, while six picked marksmen from the State Na tional Guard fired point blank upon him from a platform built in the audience. Oo both occa¬ sions Hemiian. pale of face aud painfully alert, caught the bul¬ lets, previously -marked by a committee of noted army men, and handed thorn back hot from tlio barrels for indeutifica tion. Of cour c, it was a trick, but it was a dingii'ous trick, and one that Herrmann disliked to do. But he was less nervous than the marksmen, who, ac¬ ting in perfect gao l faith, fear¬ ed that they might kill the plucky magician. Many have seen the alleged explanations of this trick pub¬ lished in various newspapers - I'hoy have all been wrong. Herr¬ mann himself tol l the Herald how it was done, and hare it is; Of course there was an ac¬ complice, and t!\is accomplice was not one of the marksmen but the sergeant in charge of them. T iis sergeant took the six regulation army bullet cart¬ ridges on a silver platter to the committee. ALL IN THE PLATTER. The committee examined fehem. mid.! sure that they were genuine, marked them plainly and replaced them on the platter. The seageant in¬ stantly raised the platter iu plaiti eight at arm’s length above his head, walked over to th? marksmen, and they them, selves each took a cartridge, examined it and placed it in the ritie - Then came the shooting. The trick-lay in the platter, which had a false bottom. Un dor this lay six other cartridges, identical iu size, weight and ap. pearenee, but holding bullets made of composition of plum¬ ha go and mercury. When the sergeant held the platter aloft, he touched a spring aud by a clever mechanism these six ‘ fake” cartridges jumped into the platter, while the genuine cartridges disappeared beneath the false bottom, kio , it the composition . . was cartridge- that riie marksmen unknowingly pufc into their rifles, and, on fireing, this com¬ position was instantly melted bv friction through the barrels and disa-pated 111 the air. ,, Menu, nne, however now evei, the me sun' sup p F ; S ed eniptv platter was taken " behind 1 , he . where . the , gen wings, nine cartfidres were drawn out; fl ,,ick ^ ,!tJated and carful] >* p l aC ed by an attended on a table, where Hermann, just be foro the carlessly picked them up and palmed them. Holding them in his hands during the firing, he immediatly p-.oducedthem as the smoke cleared. A simple trick, but a very dangerous one, for if the plat¬ ter’s mechanism failed to wo*k completely, one or more of the genuine cartridges might have got into tbe rifles of the marks¬ men and thence into Herrmann’s body.—New York Herald. -- • Armed to teeth and equipped for war, a company of 300 men, with cannon and camp utensils will leave Denver, Col, in a few days to cast their fate with the Cuban insurgents. in Incur business it m 5STJSiX>-*-«-g Hi handling our goods.

A Scotcli poultry dealer has entered suit against a neigh¬ boring distillery for making his hens disreputably drunk. He exhibited one of the inebriated chickens in court as an awful example. It seems that some of the 1 1 poison’'ran into a “burn” or creek, where the hens had been accustomed to drink. They soon grew fond of their tipple, and like old topers, made for the creek as soon as they left their perches in the early morn¬ ing. Before the day was far advanced they were in a state of maudlin imbecility, and sprawled about the yard with blinking eyes, or idiotic cackle. The hens went out of the busi¬ ness of laying, and the egg bas¬ ket fell info innocuous desue¬ tude. It was this state of things that caused the owner of the chickens to bring suit for dama¬ ges against the distiller.—Ex.
