One of tto Scemiajrly Otaemu Trick* of Conjuror*. The adage that there is nothing new under the sun has only been questioned on the matter of tricks performed by magicians, conjurers, prestidigators and others who deal in that which is a mystery to the eye. The catching of bullets by Prof. Herrmann seems to climax a series of mysteries for which that clever dealer in the mvstie art was responsible. Speaking of the bullet-catching trick in particular, Prof. P. D. Hewes, who is also a dealer in the art of mystic, says: “There are literally but few tricks in magic. The so-called new ones presented to the public from time to time by our leading magicians, conjurers or ■whatever they call themselves, are simply the revival of some old experiment clothed in a new form. The catching of bullets is not by any means a new trick, lor it is almost as old as magic itself. | I remember seeing the old ‘Fakir of Ava’ perform the same trick only in a different manner, when I was a small boy. The eatehing of the bullets is very easily explained. In the first place to accomplish it the conjurer must procure an old-style cap-lock smooth-bore musket, some powder, caps and a leaden bullet. All these must he perfectly free from any deception. Now we come to the ramrod. Therein lies the whole mystery of the trick. It is constructed with a small metallic tube, closed at the end so arranged as to become detached from the end of the ramrod at will. “Having explained the construction of all the appliances, we will now proceed to do the trick. The gun. bullet, powder and caps are freely given for examination. The performer requests someone to put the charge of powder into the gun. Next he inserts a small piece of paper and rams it down, and by a twist of the ramrod to the left the small metal tube is dislodged from the point, and remains within the gun barrel Now the bullet is Marked and placed in the gun by one of the audience:; again the performer rams it down. Now, by a contrary twist, the metal tube becomes fast to the ramrod, so that ih withdrawing it the bullet is removed. “The performer now palms the marked bullet, and all that remains to do is to go through the motion of catching it when the gun is discharged, and the spectators are thoroughly mystified. You see, it is all very simple when you know how.”—Boston Post.A Valuable Acquaintance. Brite Daze—Dere goes a gal dat we arter git acquainted wid. Sloppy Wedder—Why? Brite Daze—I jest heard dat dude say dat she intoxicates ’im ev’y time ha’s wid ’er.—Brooklyn Life.

A YOUNG GIRL'S TRIALS. - I Nervous TitJublea End in St. Vitu3‘ Da.noe. . Physicians Pcw.rle**—The Story Told by ibi CbUtt's Mother. [From ths Reporter, Somerset. Ky.J Among the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains, near the town of Flat Rock is the happy home of James McPberron. Fou r months ago the daughter of the family, a happy girl of sixteen, was stricken with 8k Vitus' dance. The leading physicians were consulted but; without avail. She grew pale and thin under the terrible nervous strain and was fast losing her mental powers. In fact the thought of placing her in an asylum was seriously considered. Her ease has been so widely talked about that the report of her cure w as like modernizing a miracle of o ld. To a .reporter who visited the home the mother said: “Yes, the reports of my daughter's sickness and cute are true as you hear them. Her affliction grew into 8k Vitus* dance from an aggravated form of weakness and nervous trouble peculiar to her sex. Every source of help was followed to the end, but it seemed that physicians and medicine were powerless. f>ny by day she grew worse until vre despaired of her life. At times she almost went into convulsions. She got so that we had to witch her to keep her from wandering away and you can imagine the care she was. “About the time when our misery was greatest and hll hope had fled, I read of another case, almost similar, that had been cured by a medicine known as Dr. Williams* Pink Pills. Almost in desperation I secured some of the pills and from that day on the wonderful work of restoration commenced; the nervousness left, her cheeks grew bright with the co lor of heal th, she gained flesh and grew strong both mentally and physically until 1,0-day she is the very picture of good health and happiness. e “It is no wonder that I speak in glowing terms of Pink 1*111* to every ailing person i meet. They saved my daughter’s life and I am grateful.” The f orei?oing is but one of many wonderful, cures that have beeu credited to Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for Pale People. In many cases the reported cures have been investigated by the leading newspapers and verified in every possible manner. Their fame has spread to the far euds of civilization and there is hardly a drug store ia this country or abroad where they cannot, be found.' Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for Pale People are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing ail forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price (50 cents a box, or six boxes for f 2.50—they are never so ld in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady,

AGRICULTURAL HINTS. MANSER FOR CR1BBER& A Contrivance Calculated to Corn Hotum of a U»il Habit Wlvcn a horse acquires the habit of cribbing its market value and endurance are somewhat reduced. There are, however, a few exceptions to this, some of the most persistent cribbers being- noted for their -free driving and staring power as roadsters. . The habit of cribbing is clearly attributable to domestication, as it is said to tie unknown among the wild horses on the plains. The cause is usually attributed to i ndigestion and the impure air of stables. While this may be the leadW c&nse in manv cases it is not in all.

CONTRIVANCE FOR PREVENTING CRIBBING. as colts at pasture often come into win* te:r quarter* inveterate eribbfrs. While most veterinarians have given the subject considerable study, no specific has yet been discovered for this trouble. Many suggestions. as to food, time of feeding, watering, ventilation, wearing certain kinds of bits and other appliances are offered, but they usually prove of but little value. When cribbing the animal gra sps the top of post. rail, fence, manger or any object within reach that can be admitted between the jaws; hence, if these objects be removed it is plain that the act of cribbing cannot take place, and as a partial preventive w hile in the stable a slightly concave manger is erected, being for a 14-hand horse three feet from the floor. Its general position is shown in the sketch by L. D. Snook. It is as long as the manger is wide and not less than 3K feet wide. The center is depressed six inches. At a, on both sides of the stall, is* secured a chain or strap with a snap in one end of which is snapped into each side of the halter. While the horse has free use of his jaws and can eat freely any food placed within a certain radius, he is so confined that he cannot reach the front side of the manger and if the top of the manger lie covered with sheet iron, no attempt will be made to grasp this flat surface. The contrivance may be hinged to the front of the stall and folded up out of the way at night or when not in use. If need be it can be placed directly above one of the common mangers. Of course the horse - should have more freedom at night.—American Agricnl Jurist.

THE CORRECT Wtlun I. Kind of Hoc* from Which the Most Money Cob Be Mode. Experiments made for the purpose of determining the economic weight of a hog show conclusively that he never should be fed beyond eight or nine months of age. and the largest profit is found, as a rule, in weight not to exceed 200 pounds. What is known as the food of support plays a very important part in the profit or loss of large weights. Suppose, as many farmers say, that a resolution is made to turn the hog when he reaches 300 pounds. He must take from his food an increasing amount each day to support the weight already gained or else he drops back. The German experiments indicate that two per eent. of the live weight in food must be taken each day to support that live weight. If the hog weighs 300 pounds, this amounts to six pounds of food daily. The only profit is in the food that is applied to make new weight. A recent pig-feeding experiment at the Maine station illustrates this principle excellently. The pigs were taken at ages ranging from five to eight weeks. During the first 100 days of the experiment not far from two pounds of digestible food produced one pound of growth, while during the last fifty days the ratio was four pounds of digestible food to one of growth. Every pound, of pork made during the last fifty days costs double that made in the first one hundred days. The lesson taught by this principle is practically stated that the» most money can be made from young hogs turned at a medium weight.—Rural World._;_ NOTES ABOUT SHEEP. Svpfly ewes with salt and clean drinking water at all times. Clover aftermath is the best pasture for lambs that haTe been weaned. Give the flock, including the lambs, the aftermath of timothy and clover. The thrift of the ewes and lambs depends on change of pasture in summer. A grain-fed flock will yield two pounds per head more wool than one poorly fed. ’ r All ewes witi unsound mouths, injured udders and bad coats should be fed for market. Whatever the ewes may be, remember that profit depends upon using a pure-bred ram. Teach the lambs to eat a mixture of two parts^ran a^& oue part oil meal by weight as early as possible. Whatever fluctuation there has been in the price of wool, the price of good mutton has been maintained with great evenness.—Farmer’s Voice. Odor* of tike Poultry House. Cleanliness is the best mode of getting rid of odors, but even with the greatest care in that respect, odors will often prevail. The best remedy is to burn a spoonful of sulphur in the poultry house once a week, first dosing it. The use of a tablespoonful of carbolic arid in a gallon of water, freely sprinkled in the poultry house once a week, will be found very effective in disinfecting it.
