TO MIDIA. I - In that dearrwvntry which me 1. With somber phrase, "your pretty face," There is no spring, there is no fall. And biting winter finds no pi e. One light, one warmth, one tender air, One endless sumnier harbors there. In that dear country, side by side, Tliere be t we .placid lakes that sleep, •Twere worth s kingdom to divide Each gay, unfathomable deep, And daring all tilings to possess The secrets of your sours recess. In other lands ’tis passing sweet I To watch the whispering western wind I Go ruffling all the whitened wheat Nor leave the tiniest track la-ltind, To see the wanton wavelets rear ' Thefr crests along the grassy mere. •I I So does the zejAryv of your smile Lead on its fairy footed dance From end to enC.of that dear isle And dimples oilthe fair expanse. And stoops its course and floats and file* In ripples o’er your laughing eyes. -Pall Mall Budget ' A CHANG®) CRITIC. -* 1 »*- h J ■ Mt. Aubrey ETerdene looked out Upon Sackvillertretrian’d yawned. Only an instant before hehad written “finis” to a magazine article with a dash of the pan across the last -sheet, arid'now the MSS. lay ready for'the,pqst jitnonp the debris of printer's proofs, hew novels awaiting review, etc., \with which the ' writing table was streW&d. , t One of the best known litterateur* in London and a brilliant conversation ist, his tongue could be as scathing as his pen, and it was said Gif him, with •regard to the latter weapon of warfare, '.that in half a dozen polished sentences he could do more toward -damning a book than any two of his compeers. A big, loosely made mao. was Mr. Everdene, with shrewd gray eyes and the pessim ism of a modern. Studying his face as he lounged by the window, his feands in the pockets of his smoking jacket, one could see that he had a lively sense of humor combined with his other charac teristics and understood the interest his personality aroused. Presently a servant brought him a visiting card on a salver. “The lady would be obliged if yon would grant her an interview, sir. *’ “Lady Hilyard, ” muttered Everdene, reading the inscription. “Icau’t recall the name. Bother the woman! What does she want? However, ask her to come up, Blake. ” When she entered, a fair, elegant woman of perhaps 25, in an irreproach able Parisian toilet, he was still more convinced that he had not the privilege of her acquaintance. “Mr. Aubrey she queried. Mr. Everdene bowed. “Pray take a seat, madame. ” “No,” she said. “I have come to quarrel with you, and I don’t sit down in the houses of my enemies!” “To quarrel with me!” His eyebrows went up. The thought came to him that his visitor was not in her right mind. “Yes. Perhaps I had better explain myself at once. I am the author of 'Fashion and Footlights. ’ ” Mr. Everdene, standing perforce be cause she would, pulled his mustache, while the fair stranger tapped her No. 3 shoe on the carpet with impatience and looked pitchforks and daggers. “‘Fashion and Footlights,ho re ■ fleeted aloud. “ 'Fashion and Foot lights. ’ Hu!” Comprehension stole over his face and ■with .it a slight amusement. Ho fished among a pile of volumes and brought out three bound with an elegance des tined to win the hearts of suburban cir culating libraries. “Here it is. Reviewed it in The Cen turion, didn’t I?” - “No,” she said, “you hanged aud quartered it!” “I am sorry. May I ask how you found out that I was the culprit?” “Oh, by accident. It’s a long story and tfnimportant, since you don't deny the imputation. Now, Mr. Everdene, I - know it is very impertinent of me, a stranger, to come to vour private ad dress and worry yog, tam doing a very unnsri'al thing, I am afraid, and Mrs. Grundy would bo horrified. But ‘fools rash ’ you know, and widows are privilogi d, You must have a little pa tience with me because”—for the first time her lips relaxed, and she smiled a . smile that was sweetness itself—“well, just because I'm a woman and you’re a gentleman. Acknowledge the truth, now, on your honor. Don’t you think you were unnecessarily harsh to my poor little literary effort?” “No,” he said bluntly; “I always give my true opinion of things, and I consider your book had many faults. ” If she had been a man, he would have said, “I thought it was bad,” with the brusqueness of conviction and prob ably declined to discuss the matter, but to a lady it was impossible to be rude. He regarded her absurdly unconvention al presence with a tolerant kindness. “Os course, I admit that there are faults, but upon one or two points in your criticism I cannot agree with you. I should very much like to discuss them with you. May I?” • “Certainly. ” His month was twitch ing under his heavy mustache. “But don’t you think, pending the verdict, that yon had better sit down? You will be fatigued. If you’ll permit me to Wheel'this armchair nearer the fire for you—so!” Having carefully arranged it so that she should face the light, he seated him self opposite her—the A. B. C. of di plomacy, but she did not appear to no tice it. She was drawing arabesques on the carpet with the point of her ivory handled umbrella. “I should very much like to know,” she said, “what you think of my com ing here?” “I think you are plucky—yes, and recklessly unconventional. ’ ’ “Candid, at any rate! And 1 like that.” She looked up. “Now for the first indictment on the list, Mr. Ev< r- You accuse me of improbability. deny it. His manner bordered on preoccupa- tion. In truth, he was thinking Wkat wonderful lashes she had, ami how -be coming a Hush of excitement could rise to a clear, pale skin. “Y ou assert, ” she continued warmly, “thatiit ist ridiculous to suppose tbaiia man and woman of the world could fall in lore at first sight, as I make my hero and heroine do, and that such proceed ings are limited to boys and girls an theiriteens and the pages of penny fic tion. 'I should have thought that Mr. Auhmoy Everdene .would have shown wider sympathies.” “Then you really believe. Lady Hitl yard, that adult, sensible people con ceive such abrupt attachments?” “I .am convinced that it happens fre quently. ’' “G'h, <come, not frequently?’' “Well, sometimes, ” she amended. “13 could .give you a dozen instances.” He lacked the heart to argue wftl’ her. Rcwould have been like breaking a butterfly on a wheel. And, after all, there might be more sentiment ig, Ap, de fflttcle ihumanity than he thought Women ‘have wonderful intuition is these matters. „ “Well, suppose we let that slide for the moment and proceed to indictment No- 2- What, other phrase of mine do you take (exception to?” . “Yon said that I had not the remotest idea of construction, and that ‘Fashion and Footlights’ was evidently a speci men of that objectionable class of fiction which you regretted to see was growing so prevalent—the amateur novel, bora of vanity and a Jack of wholesome oc cupation. ‘ ’ Her voice dxed.away with a tremor. He had only stafced the truth, 'but that fact did not prevent the speechless Mr. Everdene from feeling as if he had com mitted a particularly brutal murder and the ghost of the victim had come to arraign him before all the people whose opinions he valued most. “I—l cried, ” she nsmrmured pathetic ally. Her Sips quivered. Beads.of perspira tion rose to the man’s forehead. “Good heavens, if I had only guessed how much I should hurt you! It was harsh, monstrous. No doubt I was in a bad temper, and your unfortunate book was the first thing that afforded me an opportunity to vent my spleen. ” Lady Hilyard applied six square inches of cambric and lace to the corner of an eyelid. “If you’ll only believe me, my dear Lady Hilyard, when I tell you that I’m sorrier than I can say. ’ ’ “Then you acknowledge that you were needlessly cruel?” ‘‘l was brutal. ’ ’ He would have com mitted blacker perjury as she wiped that tear away. “And that I had just cause for indig nation?” “You were perfectly right ” A smile broke like April sunshine over her face. “In that case, I suppose I must for give you. ’ ’ He was ridiculously grateful. He heaved a sigh of relief and hesitated, with his hand on the button of the elec tric bell. “Lady Hilyard, you know the Arab custom of taking salt with one's friends? As a token of good will permit me to give you the prosaic English equivalent of a cup of tea. ’ ’ The offer was tempting, the room was hot, and she had talked a great deal. She yielded—and more. When the re freshments came, accompanied by won derful sweetmeats from Bond street round the corner, she asked permission to pour it out for him with a winning graciousness which charmed him. It afforded him an odd sense of pleasure, too, to see her white fingers moving about the china. He was unapeustomed to the presence of women in his home. With the Japanese table between them, them chatted for awhile, then the clock on the mantelpiece struck 6. She rose, with a pretty gesture of dismay, like a second Cinderella. “Do you know, Mr. Everdene, that I have been a whole hour wasting your valua ble time?” ‘‘l thought it had been 10 minutes,” ho answered, “and the pleasantest time of my life. ” “Very pretty!” she said, blushing faintly. “And, in return for it, let me tell you my address is on my card, and that my ‘day’ is Thursday. Also I must thank you very heartily for your kind ness and courtesy to an impertinent in truder. Very few men would have been so considerate. ’ ’ "Please don’t thank me. It is I who owe you a debt of gratitude. You have taught me something I never expected I to learn. ” “What?” “That the conduct of your hero and heroine was not improbable at all. ” Their eyes met. The woman’s dropped, self conscious, pleased. “You really mean that?” “On my soul, I do. ” The most delicious softness was in her voice: “It makes me so proud and happy to think I have convinced you. ” There was a silence. She smoothed a wrinkle in her suede glove. He twisted ' a button on his coat. Then she aroused 1 herself, with a little laugh, and extended I her hand. “Well, goodby, Mr. Everdene, and once more, thank you.” He pressed her fingers ever so lightly , —her proselyte. “Not ‘goooby, ’” he murmured. “Au revoir.’’—Black and White. - Sh« Pleaded the Queen. It is said that Miss Majendie, who has just received the much coveted po sition of maid of honor to Queen Vic toria, owed her good luck to a mere freak of magnetic attraction. The queen saw her for the first time when she came to sing at the little Sunday serv ice arranged by Princess Beatrice at the Villa Fabbricotti and was particularly struck by her pleasant face and sweet voice. It was with the utmost surprise that the court circle as well as the young lady herself learned of the hon or designed for her. THE HUSTLE'’ OF ROME, SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 9 1894 MAGIC EXPLAINED. THE STAR TRICKS OF HINDOO CON JURERS MADE EASY. The Mungo Trick Explained Kellar, the Magician—lt I. the Same Which Globe Trotter Steven. Claim. I« Miraculously Performed hy Fogl Men. The sleight of hand performances of Mr. Maskelyne, a remarkably clever juggler, have excited a great.deal of in terest in London. Not only are his tricks skillfully done, but his'txplana tions of other tricks have attracted much attention among a class of .men who seldom visit the halls where feats-of this sort are presented. The Mail and Express recently pub lished an article from the London .'Spec tator in which the writer describes one ■or two tricks which he saw in India and which mystified him greatly. Here •Is one, which, by the way, is described .by Thomas Stevens, the globe 'trotter, Who says that the Yogi men, who per form it, are aided by an occult force that iihe world is as yet ignorant of. A juggler placed a cloth over the pave wrent of the street, and presently he removed it, and there was a mango gnawing between the stones. “The jug ’’ adds the writer, “one of the he reditary caste, did undoubtedly make a leaf spring out of the ground; did wake it jjrow .into a dwarf mango, and did hand ithe mango from it to be eaten. It looked wonderful because of the appar ent riaqplicity of the juggler, but he per formed his feat in four proee*ses, and between.each he shook out his chudder, or muslin wrapper, so that it passed for an instant between the spectators and the plant The writer had no doubt then and has no doubt now that this was done not to conceal anything, but to distract attention momentarily; that the first leaf, the upgrowth of leaves, the dwarf n»ngQ and the mango on it were all of wax or other carefully made imitation, and that the whole miracle was marvelously rapid sleight of hand. ” To Americans who are interested in this sort of thing this mystery is almost amusing. It was exposed several years ago by Kellar, the prestidigitateur. Four or five years ago Kellar publicly offered $ 1,000 to anyone who would perform a trick which he could not duplicate and which he could npt prove to be done by wholly human aids. A number of per sons who had recently visited India im mediately deluged him with descrip tions of this and other specimens of oriental jugglery. Os course as they could not perform the trick themselves they did not compete for his money offer, and therefore they were not publicly answered. Kellar, however, gave me personally a full explanation not only of these tricks, but of several others which have long baffled the cleverest of the occi dental investigators. The magician has spent more than 15 years of his profes sional life in India and the far east, and he has closely studied the tricks of the native jugglers with more or less profit to himself. This is how he explained the mango or pineapple trick as nearly as I can recall it: “The first time I saw the mango trick,” said he, “was in Bombay in 1879 or thereabouts, and the man who did it was the most skillful conjurer 1 ever saw in India. Even after I had learned the secret of his illusion I could not help admiring its ingenuity and the dexterity with which it was performed. The juggler and his two comrades chose a spot before the Prince of Wales’ stat ue on the plaza. He first laid down a bag on the hard ground and then drew from it a large bandanna handkerchief. Digging a small hole in the ground with one finger, he buried a pineapple and over this he placed his hand kerchief. He carefully smoothed out Abe cioeh, rubbing swiftly from left to right. A/f-er this maneuver was ended lid jnade several passes with his arms over t£§ handkerchief, while his com rades beat? judusttjously upon their drums and blew Upon their pipes. “Suddenly, to my surprise, I saw the handkerchief begin to slowly rise in the center and gently sway from side to side as a plant were really sprouting to life from tfre seed which he had planted beneath the cloth. NVheiythe handkerchief had jisen like, a tent to a height of about 12 inches, the conjurer stopped his incantations aud cautiously lifted up the left hand corner of the cover and peered beneath it Then, plunging both hands underneath to the accompaniment of loud and discordant music, he threw aside the cloth and showed a full grow n pineapple plant ‘ ‘This is the way he did the trick, as he afterward admitted to me: “tn smoothing out the cloth he reach ed into the bag, the mouth of which was conveniently placed near the hand kerchief, and whisked out a hooded co bra snake. The moment the /entile was laid (town it began to coil. That made the handkerchief rise. When it had reached its full height, it? angry hiss ing meanwhile being drowned by the music of the assistants, the performer looked under the cloth, taking care to dyaw the gprner close to the mouth of the bag'. Then he adroitly whisked out a hollow pineapple from the bag under neath the cloth. It Ayas now the work of a minute only to force the snake into the apple, close the aperture, and the trick was done. ” —Benjamin Northrup in New York Mail and Express. Lace and Brocade. If you have any treasured short lengths of old brocade, you may produce them now and make the fronts of one of the long Louis Seize waistcoats of them. And if you are happy enough to possess old lace you can make them up en jabot to wear with the same. It is to mount the lace on bands of muslin, keeping the folds quite soft and using as few stitches as possible. In this way the tender sus ceptibilities of the fabric are spared, and when the jabot fashion is over and done with the lace remains to be used in some other way.—Fashion Journal HierilFk>'l ax Sales For Octo-, her 1894.
