The said boy, by curling himself around~the edges of the basket, allows plenty 01‘ room for the sword to pass through it in several directions abOVe his cody. The conjuror, with abundance of de« liberation and cautioul aim, makes his stabs accordingly, and the audi- once is supposed to be overcome with wonder that the boy is produced from the basket alive. The dictates of pruc. dence and humanity alike point out to the conjuror the advisability of allowing nobody but himself to use the sword, and thin circumstance probably etcounts for the fact that the performance of even the first part of the trick is quite rare. One strik- ing incident, however, is common both to the real trick and its bur- lesqueâ€"the collection. The second trick of which one hears so much is the “aerial rope” trick. Briefly it is as follows: The conjuror has a. coil of thin rope. Keeping hold of one end he throws the coil up into the air. The rope, instead of falling down on to his head again, -a 1L hum-tome acumen. amou- mama: to believe that it is only performed in the inner sanctuary of that most .erelous 'of oontrivances, the .human imagination. The mild and ingenious indu has heard of this feat. Pos- 1 the substitute for, or rather the bur esgue 01" this trick, so common« 1y presented to Europeans, took its rise from inquiriw for the real an- ticlo. The performance is as follows: A)- - The conjuror who could perform this feat to large audiences could not fail to make an enormous fortune. That Eastern conjurors are not indif- ferent to monetary considerations is notorious. Neither are they averse to visiting Europe, if it is made worth their while. It will be remembered that a party of them performed at the Indian and Colonial Exhibiton. Yet one hardly ever hears a. qud in India of the “aerial “rope” trick. Nevertheless, there is some evidence to account for, if not to justify its tradition. Here and there a man is met with who says that he has seen it. Generally he was alone. or the only European. On occasions. two Europeans have been present, and one declares that he has seen it. while the other has not. It is said that the men who profess to have seen the marvel are m‘ti-n honest. trust- WOrthy, hardâ€"headed. and skeptical people, not likely eit-her to deceive or to be deceived. v- â€"â€"7~_ D _ as one would naturally suppose, if it obeyed the law of gravity, remains standing up into the air as if it were an iron rod. Then the conjuror's companion swarms up the rope, and when he gets to the top absolutely disappears. â€"xlaé! this trick, as performed hi Southem India. is quite beneath the dignity of the European export. To see the trick once is enough, for it explains itself as it goes along. The conjuror has three bags, and abun- dance; of Pat’ggr. y only the patter could cove} tHe bags, So that 9 knew not What the bags coV‘ere ! first of all the conjuror solemnly plants the mango stone. This he Covers over with the smallest of the three bags, which, of course, contains the mango bush in its infancy. Poor Soul! How hard he pattors, and his friend patters, While he is busv with his fingers inside that bag, planting the sapling in its little patch of earth and deftly arranging the leaves that it may look fresh and natural when the bag is lifted; oh, so care- fully, lest the mango plant come with it. Hi-la! there you are. Won- derful] Needless to go on. The next bag contains a larger edition of the mango plant; and the third a larger still. Probably the only bag which at the beginning of the visit contains noan and at the end is occupied is the collection bag. An admirable fea- ture of the performance is the neat deftness displayed in the planting. It must require a good deal of skill to extricate and arrange the plants so that the stand securely upright when the bag is removed, and do not look stale or rumpled. The third is the “mango trick.” In English fiction this is a. sight well worth seeing. A mango stone is planted, and is groWn into a small tree in a. few moments under the eyes of the audience. regardless of the season; ripe mangoes are only with- held from motives of economy, clean- liness. or perhaps from a desire not to excite trade jealousy in the fruit market. for the ordinary English amateur juggler. It is most amusing to watch him while the amateur is firing of! his feat. The immemorial courtesy of the East prescribes a face of won- dering deference. The amateur pauses, flushed with pleasure and an- ticipated triumph. The Hindu never abatw his air of deference, nor al- lows the Oriental equivalent of “Rats!” to escape him. He merely does the trick infinitely more neatly, and generally with some variation that leaves the amateur writhing With impotent envy. The feeling one has about the Hindoo juggler, or con- juror, is, first, that he is exceedingly expert, but probably not so expert as either the Chinaman or the JapaneSe. Secondly, he is unfortunate in having his really creditable performances dis- counted in advance by. misinformed, eredulous, or untruthful travelers.â€" Lamina Globe. The Hindu is very expert at palm- ing, and his feats gain in force from the circumstance that the whole of the upper part of his body is gener- ally naked. The neatness with which he produces eggs or rupees from his elbows, armpits, and ears is quite pretfy to see. It is a drawback, how- ever, to be informed the next day by your domestics that your fowls have been neglecting their duties. Prob- ..bly it is the patter which has dis- tracted them. One bit of palming generally raises a laugh if you have not seen it be- fore. After panning a couple of ru- pees into your hand from nowhere in particular, you suddenly find on your hand a hoary old scorpion, about the size of a young crab. Your jump of terror is exceedingly amusingâ€"to your friends. Of course, the scorfiâ€" ion’s sting has been previously ex- tracted.

The.ear1ier lamp-posts in London. Says The Magazine of Art, wcru evolved from the c-nnnon discarded as obsoleto or faulty after the Napol- eonic Wars. These actual service cannon were freely used at Woolwich and probably other garrison towns, as street cornerâ€"posts, the bore be- ing pluggrd with oak to keep out the rain and refuse, the emerging end of the plug being shaped in hemispher- ical form to represent the issue of a cannonâ€"ball. Later on these real cannon were superseded by imitation iron castings, the half cannon-ball and all. This Cannon pattern {or corner-posts found its way to Lonâ€" don, where it may still be seen in many of our older streets and squares.
