barVrs were also surgeons in a small way, particularly in tho operac: biceäimj. lo assist operation it was necessary for the patient to grasp a staff, and the barber always kept one ready, as well as Btrip3 of cloth for bandaging tha patient's arm. When tho 6taff was not in use the bandage was tied to it so that they might be together when wanted, and the barber usually hung them at his door as a sfcn. Is vhe course of time, however, a painted pole took the place at in door of the one used in the opera tion, and thus came the sign.

Xone, of i-ourisp. is invdfd. The explosion is enough. Tin apple is already preurt'd, hang been cut into pieces and stui k together with an adhesive sub? tarn e. and a thread with a knot at the end, pulled through it from tin 'Vings," sc that it flic to bits when the gun is fired, is "how it is done." Generally the mere dangerous a feat appears the more carefully is all danger guarded against. In tin "William Tell" act the thread is often tied to the assistant's foot. When, again, the ash is shot off a cigar which the assistant is smoking a piece of wire is pushed bv his

tongue through a hollow passage in . the cigar, thus thrusting off the ash ( at the moment of firing. A favorite but simple trick is the ' Ehooting frtmi some distance at an oranTe held in a lady's hand. Great applause, is invariably forthcoming when the bullet drops out on her cutting open the fruit. It is inserted by hand earlier in the evening. Another popular trick is that of 6nuftiug out lighted cnndlei. Half a1 dozen are placed in front of a Ecreen, in which as many mal' holes are bored, one against earh candle wick. At the moment of firing a confederate behind th-

Ecreen sharply mows out eacu can die with a pair of bellows. In most instances where a ball or other object has to be broken on a livinc person's head blank car

tridge is used and the effect pro duced by other means. A special wig with a spring concealed in it worked by a wire under the clothe is generally used, the confederate manipulating the spring simultaneously wh the firing of tho rifle. As the ball is of extremely thin glass, a mere touch suffices to shatter it. In these exhibitions some of the rifle "experts" invite gentlemen from the audience to testify that the weapon is indeed loaded. The cartridge shown looks very well, but it is a "shell of thin wax blackened to resemble a 1 ,t!-'i ballot. I would not huit u i!y. I.ondo:i Ti' Bits.

Actordin to travelers in that neck of saml and sagebrush, you can dispense with any kind of telephone, with or without wiros, at least up to a certain distance. Two men a mile apart can carry on a conversation in an ordinary tone of voice, particularly if there happens to be a small hill behind each, writos Harvey Hall Kessler in the Travel Magazine. The prevailing Eilence is so intense that it might be called deafening.

Perhaps, after all, the weirdest

among many strange features of the desert is the mirage. Wo have camped perhaps and gone to bed early in the evening with the thermometer registering not far below the hundred mark. We awake, shivering with cold beneath our blankets, and look toward the east. There is the slightest suggestion of light in the sky there, which as we watch grows slowly in strength. A grayish haze marks the horizon's edge, which stands out more sharplv

at one point, from which broad,

pale ravs creep up and out high above in the sky. These again slowly fade as a point of brilliant

licht annears at their base. This

point crows to a half circle, then

breaks and runs along the sky line

in a surging, golden lake. Upon the shores of this lake cities spring up, towers, spires and solid blocks. These fade into fields and forests and farming scenesfields of golden grain, cattle stand

ing in green alfalfa, shiets of water. The mountains near the edge of the lake separate from their bases and float upward, topple over and stand on their heads, their unwieldy feet in air. Soon our lake begins to contract and! collect into a big round ball of dazzling brilliance hung just above the horizon. Farms and forest disappear. The mountains, as though abashed at being caught in such an unsecmlv attitude by the broad

light of day, quickly resume their

fflE OLD EXCUSES, "There's no hurry," "I can wait a little longer for my insurance" have left many a family to face a bitter fight with poverty and privation. If there is one thing that should receive the first consideration of married men, it is LIFE INSURANCE. Now is the time to apply for a policy. Arch C. Doane Jasper Indiana
