While talking, Herrmann was also doing the most surprising things with a pask of card#, making an ace appear at the bottom, then at the top and then get lost iu the middle of the pack without anybody being able to detect a movement of the card. Fixing his «lark eyes upon the face of one of the party, he hade him think of a card and keep it in hi* mind. Then handing the pack to him, Herrmann a*kHl him to look it through and see if bis card waa there. The gentleman replied that it was in the bark, and then returned them, Herrmann seemed merely to touch the card*, and then pass them to hit subject again, who was then unable to find the card. Another shuffile, and the gentleman discovered the lost card back in the pack, but did not name it. "Deal from the top,

and stop

whenever

you pleajse," said Herrmann gazing fixedly into hi« subject's eyes. Well, I'll «top h**re. said the gentleman, after throwing off a few cards, and the very next care prove*! to be the one he thought of.

"That him bothered me. and if I can be made to *ee through that hu.siness, I'll understand several thing* more than 1 do now."

Herrmann smiled ami sh»ok hits head. I'll give vou a bond not to reveal the secret to a living soul," said the other eagerly.

What good will it do you?*1 asked Herrmann. "Oh, I just want lodo it around among the boys. "Hut the boys would detect you, my friend. You could not do that trick as ex|«*rtly a„s Slade, if you tried tifty years. No, my friend it would do you no

IMITATING TALMAGF:.

B«* »n Actor )tad« I^o* IJk» tb* Brooklyn Pr«*cher. This is how Mr. Howson, who introduces an imitation of Rev. Dr. Talmage on the boards of the Bijou theater. New York, does the trick, according to a reporter:

He arranged a lot of articles that looked like cosmetics and pomades, in sticks and pots, on the dresser under the glass, against which he leaned a card photograph of Talmage. Thrusting a forefinger and thumb into a pot. he drew out some plastic material and began to lay it around tfre end of his nose. "This is a mixture of beeswax and putty. he said, as he deftly squeezed and patted it, "and we use it to build out the features—the nose, the cheeks, the chin, as the case mav be. Mr own nose as vou see, is wholly unlike Mr.-Talmage's. His is longer and less bulbous tlian mine. So I increase my nasal protuberance, taking care to keep to the outlines of his picture.

Mr. Howaon's nose was prO|*»rly extended, the work being done with neat celerity but the addition was of a grayish hue, as though the organ had been frozen solid, or dreadfully pinched. "This is grease paint." he said, taking up a stick of pinkish mixture, "and it is made in a varipty of colors taking the place of the dry materials with which actors formerly streaked their faces."

As he stroked his nose and its addition with the stick of paint, and rubl»edin the color with the tip of a linger, the whole speedily liecame the hue of flesh, and no sign of the jointure could be seen. "Now I have Mr. Talmage's nose. Sometimes 1 am happier in the likeness than to-night, and at others don't do so well. It is a trifle chilly here, and the mutton fat in the paint cools too quickly —like a chop on a cold plate. So I warm this stick by the gas.

The flesh stick was of a higher pink than the other, and with rapid strokes he gave his face a tint that, in the glare of the footlights, would match Talmage's complexion. Then lie rublied the same color into his eyebrows, covering them all except a narrow line. "My eyebrows are very heavy," he exclaimed. "and his are thin. So 1 turn most of mine into flesh. Actors have to sacrifice their mustaches to the exigences of the profession, but not their eyebrows. I cover as much of mine as 1 choo«e, you see, and streak the remainder with white. Did 1 study Talmage from life? Oh, yes 1 went to hear him preach several times, hut my chief guide in the -make-up' was "a photograph. When I accepted the part of John Wellington Wells 1 felt like adding some attractiveness to it if possible.

He is a smug. glib. Knglish tradesman, you, know, and, at the same time, a dealer in magic and spells. The portrait of Mr. Talmage caught my eye in a store window,and the face somehow impressed me a.s suitable for the character. 1 reBolved to put him on the stage as Wells', and privately made all the preparations. When the opera was ready for production and the first dress reheassal was held, I went on the stage in the Talmage'make up.' I had resolved to take the risk of not labelling myself 'This is Talmage,' but the orchestra, the chorus, and everybody else present immediately pro-

nothing of my intention, I was convinced that an audience would not miss the likeness. I intended no attack on the minister, and 1 don't believe he resents it at all though some persons have condemned the liberty 1 have taken with him."

While talking, the actor had wrinkled his forehead by putting on two tones of flesh color. Next he dipped a small brush in reddish brown paint, and drew lines on his face, adding a year to his age at every stroke. "I use no black for lines," he said. "You never saw an artist do that on a portrait. Actresses who do it make a mistake. I lave you sometimes seen them when their eyes looked like burnt holes a blanket That was because they had ringed their lids with black. As these grease paints have come intogeneral use, the practice of gridiron and blotching the face with black and white has gone out. Mr. Jefferson's use of them for Rip Van Winkle is extremely artistic, and so was Fechter's, while Walter Montgomery was an expert. Montgomery had around face, and was not \erv old but, in making up for a young part, lie not only tinted his face with the utmost nicety, but went so far as to give his ears that shell-like, delicate hue which is found in youth. Now I come to an important point in my jwrtraiture of Mr. Talmage. Observe that my eyes are far out and full. This picture shows his to le deep set— cavernous* 1 can't set zuy eyes back? Ah. but I can. See.

He dipped the tij» of his fingers in a orownish paint, and rubbed them around his eves. They receded instantly, for the darkening of the skin made apstmit cavities. I made on Oscar Widle of Bun-' thorne in Patience,' and the aesthete was kind enough to say that I had not travestied him. A ig like his long hair, and some painting a Unit the eyes and mouth, to produce a lachrymose expression. was all the artificial aid available in the case. Mr. Talmage has stronger facial peculiarities to setae upon. Now I will enlarge my mouth to the size of his» by means of ml paint and a brush, thus. Is this grease paint? Yes and the utility of it is that by bruahing ami rubbing. the tints can easily be blended. Urease paints used to be imported from Germany, but are now made here. The German actors, to my mind, lead the *?orkl in the make up of their faces. Versatility is cultivated by them, and they play two or three parts in an evening, so that it is pecnliarly desirable for them to change eir faces wholly. What the (iermans call episode actors—thai is, player* of incidental bit* of character— take great pain* to look exactly right. With us the aun is usually to excel in ore apecialty rather than to attain versatility. &jmI doubtfam more money is made in that direction. I am now ready for hair And whiskers, except for a few dabs of powder, whk-fc softens tl«e effect a trifle. You ik* any great resemblance to Mr. Talmage, yek probably, for I lack

his long locks and side whiskers, l^have left bare spots on my cheeks, and here are patches of hair which I stick in place with spirit gum. Observe in the photograph that his whiskers straggle thinly up his cheeks, being gray an1 very thin along the upper sides. I paint that part with black and white, running my lines in the real hair.

That completed the work, except for the ig. which had bald spots, and the upper section of a high forehead. When it was in place, the line of the false piece across the brow was deftly painted out Putting on a turndowu collar, black cravat. and frock, coat, the actor stepped back for inspection. Not only was he a close imitation of Talmage. but the artificiality was scarcely to be detected at a distance of 10 feet. Twenty-five minutes had not been consumed in the metamorphosis.

It EI. ICS OF SA EM IT1HCRA FT.

A Few MrmmtOM Still Preserved of th« Persecutions of 169'i. Tn the busy little city of Salem are preserved a few relics of the horrible year of 169'i. when a number of the l»est citizens of the town were hanged on the accusation of some poor, deluded persons, mostly girls in their teens, who asserted that they had been bewitched and tortured by the prisoners. The relics are displayed on a large stand in the center of the main office of the registerof deels. The first thing that attracts attention is a bottle containing a half-dozen witch pins. These implements are nothing more than the

ordinary

pins used two

centuries ago. when pins were still manufactured by hand. The interest attaching to these specimens comes from the fact that they are the very pins that were used at Salem

stick

into

the ac

cused persons to see whether they were witches. If the unfortunates were hurt by this treatment it was a sure sign that they were witches and unfit to live.

Beside the bottle of witch pins is the official seal of the court of oyer and terminer, before which the prisoners were tried. It is a little iron stamp fitted with a black wooden handle, and its impress is seen upon the only warrant for the hanging of one of the prisoners that has been preserved. This warrant, as it was written out by the clerk of the court, fills the greater part of a sheet of paper about foolscap size. It is written in a crabbed hand but is quite legible. It is addressed to the .sheriff, recites the crime for which one of the female prisoners had been tried and convicted, and orders for the sheriff to hang her on a certain day. On the lower part of the page appears the sheriff's return, written in a bold round hand, certifying that he has carried out the mandate of the court. Photographs of this interesting document are on sale.

But the most interesting relic is the court record of the trials of these unfornate prisoners. These papers are kept in a large volume so arranged that every document may l»e read without being touched. Here are th«* affidavits of the ignorant girls and lnys who tell of the tortures the alleged witches made them suffer. Here is the alleged examination of the prisoners, giving question and answer. The record was neatly ritten, and is still as legible as though it was recently committed to paper. It was doubtleas written out each day by the clerk from his notes after the adjournment of the court. It tells the story of a great delusion, and probably no original documents that have come down from our forefathers are so replete with tragic interest.

Mil* Garrett's Triumph in llitsidkhm.

Robert Garrett's recovery of mental and physical health is the first gleam of sunshine that has come to the Garrett family for more than live years. No household with millions in its possession has ever been so afflicted as theGarretts. Within half a decade Mrs. John W. Garrett has been thrown from her carriage and died of her injuries. Her husband soon afterward succumbed to a malady aggravated by the death of his wife: then their eldest son. Robert Garrett, lost his mind, and while his physicians were taking him on a tour of the world in the hope that this would restore his mental powers his brother, Harrison Garrett, was drowned by the collision of hisvacht with a steamer in Chesapeake bay. But the friends of Robert Garrett have never ceased to predict that he would one day be himself again and re-enter the railroad and finance field with vigor and wisdom. The prophecy may soon le realized. The increase of the Garrett capital during the illness of Robert Garrett is an accepted fact in financial circles, notwithstanding that the family holdings of Baltimore and Ohio railroad stock have drawn no dividends for three years,? This increase is due altogether to the sound business sense of Miss Mary Garrett, the only daughter of John W. Garrett and sister of Robert. -Jt seems incredible, but it is the truth," said a Baltimore lawyer to a Philadelphia friend recently, "that this young lady has virtually handled the Garrett railroad and hanking interests ever since one of her brothers was attacked with disease and the other lost his life. She is not yet TO years of age and is a handsome woman of the blonde type. She obtained her business training from her father, to whom site was a constant companion in his later years, and she turned it to good actionnt^wlien the Garrett family vis actually deprived of a male head. No woman has ever had gttch a responsibility of this kind placed upon her as that which Miss Garrett voluntarily shouldered, and if the whole story of her work could told it would be a narrative of th« ux at extra* r,Unary business qualifications ttvat any woman has ever altow Phe millions of the family have been added to during her stewardship, Site poetsesae# some three millions in her own name and she lias made Robert Garrett a weahheir man than tie was when he inherited his father's seat as president of he Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
