In the early days of the last Mn- tury, Fashion of Spain, by a turn of her capricious wheel, placed tight­ rope walking and dancing on ths summit of poBularitS'. No spectacle wSo so sure to draw an appreciative audience as that of some cool-headed man or woman going through a va­ riety of auties in mid-air, with noth­ ing between life and death but a slender hempen strand. The same spirit that urges th3 Spaniard of to-tlay to the bull-ring, where he knows that an awful trag­ edy may be enactel before his eyes at any moment, prompted his ances­ tors of nearly <two hundred years ago to assemble in thousands, gazing spe'lbound at the performance in which a single false step would prob­ ably mean a swift and terrible death to the performer. For in those days nets formed no part of the paraphernalia of the tight­ rope dancer. In Spain, at all events, the candidate for popular favor who attempted t:> give an exhibition of his skill upon a cord beneath which a net was stretched would have proved no attraction to the sight-see­ ing public. The more pronouueed the danger' of a performance, tire larger and more enthusiastic the au­ dience which it attracted. And so when an Englishman who danced in more venturesome fashion upon the slender rope than any of-lure predecessors made his appearance in Madrid, he quickly became tbe rage. Everybody who wished to do the cor­ rect thiug, and many more who were attracted by the daring tbaitthenew- oomer displayed, flocked to© see him go through his antics om the cord that stretched across tlte 'great hall which he had hired. IT Silvester Anarews soon found him- seif in a fair way to becoming a wealthy man. for the Spanish audi­ ences were generous, aad besides pay­ ing high prices for admission to the hall, were in the habit of showering coins of ail values upon the floor under the twinkling feet«of the*clever acrobat when he werait through any more than usually daring evolutions. Encouraged by the appreciation 'that was shown for li.is-skill, Andrews introduced some novel feat almost every day, and the crowds flocked and llockod to see hitn, >until it seemed that ail Spain musl have determined to watch (aim tempting Fate. His little son, w&ose great ambition was to succeed his father when the time came for him to retire used to fairly fill a gold-euatoroidered bag with the money that Uae delighted audience showered on the ihaar, and displayed his confidence in his father's steadi­ ness by remaining beneath him all the time that he mm #oiog through his performance. But, alas for poor Andrews! One day it was reported .that another marvellous exponent <of the tight­ rope walking liadarrhwed'in Mardrid, and was prepared to do feats that would surpass anything accomplished by the clever Englishman. Connoisseurs shook their heads. "It is impossible." said they, "that any man can oiftdo the reckless Englishman," for this was the name tjiat Andrews had earned in Madrid by his intrepid feats. However, those who first witnessed the performance of the fresh candi­ date for popular favor were so en­ thusiastic about the merit of his pro­ gram that crowds began to flock to see h i m. Those who had day after day made their way to t*»e building in which Andrews displayed his skill began to desert him lor the new attraction and in a few days his rival, who was a Frenchman named Villotte, became as popular as Andrews had been in the zenith of his fame. This man's specialty did aotilie in prancing about on a rope; indeed he never lifted his feet from the cord, but slipped backwards and forwards with a sliding motion that w*g •cer­ tainly not very graceful. The dances and leaps with whieh Andrews attracted the attention of those who crowded to see hitn were replaced in the case of Villotte by leats of skill in which the hand took ! the place of the foot. In fact, the ! Frenchman was a more than ordinary i skilled juggler, and the special feat­ ure of his entertainment was the clever way in which he manipulated knives and balls and weights of all kinds while the only footing afforded him was the precarious one that he Sound upon the rope. The cool manner in which he went through his tricks, as calmly and con­ fidently as though he were stand­ ing <*n tera firiua. roused the great­ est enthusiasm in the crowds that flocked to see the novel spectacle. It was considered little short of marvelous that the elaborate tricks and feat* of skill which Villotte per­ formed with such apparent ease could be accomplished by a man whose nerves'ana muscles were all the time being strained in the effort to keep his balance. The Frenchman's prow­ ess was upon every one's tongue and poof Andrews found his recepts re­ duced almost to the vanishing ptfint. One day a placard appeared upon the main ernrance to the hall In which be performed, stating that* ! through indisposition, to display his powers. "Aha!"8aid the wiseacres, uthe reckless Englishman is tired of eukpty benches, and has taken himself off to his island, where no Frenchman, cleverer at his Dusiness than he, will disturb him." But the wiseacres, as is often the case, were wrong in their surmises. Andrews had not left Madrid in dis­ gust at the success of his rival. He was» not the kind of man to run away, and he had made up his mind to find put what it was that rendered the *iew-com?r more attractive than him- ielf. • < So that afternoon he made his way •towards Villotte's hall, and * paying for his admission with the rest of the crowd, sat down, and waited to see the feats that had turned the tide of popular favor from bis doors. Presently the Frenchman appeared from behind the curtain that hung to one end of the rope, and commenced to fling half a dozen gold balls in the |>ewildering circles that are so dear to jugglers. He had hardly begun his jperforniance, when Andrews gave a start, ar d after gazing intently at his rival for a few moments, hur­ riedly left the building. He hastened j away to his lodgings, dressed himself as rapidily as possible in the costume which he always wore on the tight lope, and then ran back to the place where- Villotte was still porformirg before his delighted audience., Just as he re-entered the hall, «tl»e Frenchman had retired behind his curtain for rest, and the spectators were gazing idly about them, and waiting for him to begin again. vailed and the assisted down position- The triumph of Andrews was com­ plete. His rival left Madrid as soon as possible, and the winner of this unique duel ©nee more found himself the attraction to the sight-seeing in*" habitants of the Spanish capital.-- Saturday Evening Post. j-,i flow HA Escaped Trouble, ^faria," he said, as he entered the house, speaking before his wife had time to sav a word, "this house is in an awful condition." "Why, Henry " she began.. ' "Don't try t-o excuse yourself," Ire interrupted. "Look at this room! I was going to bring home a friend with me, but I refrained for fear that the house would be in just the con­ dition that 1 find it." "If you had sent word, nenry '• "Sent word, Maria! Why should I have to send word? Why should any­ one who claims to be a housekeeper have to be notified so that she can scurry around and make things look respectable? And that gown, Maria! It is outrageous to be dressed in that fashion at this time of day."" "I could have changed it-- "Oh, of course. You could fatir# done lots of things, biut you didn't. You should be ready to entertain your husband's friends at anytime I suppose the dinner is cold, too." "It's not as good as it was. You're: late, you know/' "Of course; and if I had brought friend with me he'd have had to sit down to a cold dinner or one that waa burned to a crisp, and we would This was the very opportunity that j have both felt cheap aud would have Andrews wanted. He had turned into the middle of the lloor,and throw­ ing off his cloak stood before the peo­ ple in the crimson tights with which most of them were familiar. In broken Spanish, he addressed them, saying that he had grown weary of waiting for patrons w'no never came, and had accordingly made up his mind to see the per­ former who had proved such a powers ful counter attraction. He went on to say that something which he had noticed since hi^ arrival in the hall had led him to believe that if he could but place himself be­ side his rival, the onlookers would, on witnessing their respective feats, come to the conclusion ihat his was i the more excellent performance of J the two, and concluded by begging that they would lend their aid in per­ suading Villotte to allow him to match himself against the only tight­ rope walker who had ever yet proved more attractive to the public than himself. Naturally enougn the audience were only too pleased at the prospect of obtaining double value for their money, and loudly vocliferated their acquiescence in the contest that An­ drews proposed. The Frenchman, however, was evidently not at all anxious to compete With his English antagonist. ' He had emerged 'from behind his curtain as soon as Andrews had com­ menced to speak, and now, While the j onlookers were shouting their ap­ proval of the course proposed by the latter, he shook his head vigorously in protest. But Andrews' Idea had taken far i too firm a hold of the spectatofs' im-* agination for them to be willing to I relinquish the treat to which they i had begun to look forward, and yells J of disgust filled the air when it was i seen that Villotte was* unwilling to fall in with the suggestion that had i been laid before them. The Frenchman ,was not slow in { seeing how unpopular he was making himself by his refusal hy.d to apologize. It isn't right, yiaria! It isn't right at all." "Well, Henry, I'm sorry you should feel that way." « "Well, I wislf you would try to do a little better. ^It is very annoying." When he had*settled himself in his chair after dinner he chuckled to himself behind his paper £nd mut­ tered,-- "George! but I should have pot a toasting tor being late if I hadn't soar ted it first. It's a great scheme!" with Andrews, and so with the best grace possible he signifled his acqui­ escence in the latter's proposal. The English acrobat promptly climbed up the ladder that led to the opposite end of the rope to that at which his antagonist was standing, and without further delay proceeded to exhibit the feats that had a short time before proved so popular. He had never done hims?lf greater jus­ tice. and the more ardent supporters of Villotte were forced to admit that their protege would have to surpass himself if the verdict was to be given in his favor. After a final pirouette, Andrews retired to the little plat­ form which was placed at the junc­ tion of the rope and the wall, and waited for his rival to show what he could do, Villotte slid forward in his usual fashion, and after a few preliminary flourishes began to exhibit some diffi­ cult balancing feats. He had scarcely fairly started when Andrews, to his surprise of the audience, stooped along the rope, carrying in his hand two rapiers, which his little son had just handed up to him while the spectators were engaged in watching Villotte With a few hastily spo*ken words, which no one but the French­ man heard, he handed one or the weapons to the astonished juggler; the latter, who had turned as white as a sheet, took the proffered rapier, and in another moment the two men were engaged in perhaps the most re­ markable duel that ever was fought. They lunged and parried with the iirtmost furry, and almost before the •startled spectators had time to real­ ize the extraordinary scence that was •being enacted before them Villotte, wath a shriek, lost his balance and I Jell. For a seeond every one in the j | vast hall was horror struck, but for a ' second only, for the downward course of the Frenchman was mysteriously checked and he hung head downwards from the quivering rope ! The solatiou of the mystery was not long postponed. In exuitaei tones Andrews shouted-- "See. good people, how you have been duped. This man is a swindler --a mere common juggler, who by cunningly tying his feet to the rope has made you believe that he can ac­ complish feats that are impossible to the genuine tight-rope Walker. I saw through his artifice the moment he began his performance and determ­ ined to expose him the mosthumiliat-' ing way possible. Tell me whether this sneaking knave is to be awarded your patronage?" With a united shout of "Xo!" the audience testified their approval of YilLotte's conduct, and some of the mora incensed were "for leaving him to hang head downwards until further performances on the rope should be out of the question for him. But more moderate counsels Older Than History. Telepathy may sound better to modern ears than mesmeric trance Or clairvoyance, but it has no more sub­ stantial foundation It is an at­ tempt to discover whether it is pos­ sible to see without eves, to hear without ears, to receive or convey impressions without the aid of the special senses. The spirit-rappers, the thought-rappers,(the animal mag- netizers, have dropped into darkness and are buried in the mud. Tele­ pathy is an attempt to revive in a pseudo-scientific form, such as self- deception of this kind has always as­ sumed, but in a very feeble form,and with very futile and insane . results, the failures and impostures of the past. Happily, it is confined to a few, and is undoubtedly destined to die before it has causcd any serious trouble. All these delusions, these disordered Visions and hysteric hal­ lucinations, this exploitation of the love of the mysterious, these pseudo- magnetic attractions, these Sham scientific floatings in the air, these fixations of the body, the*<e thought- readings and foreteilings, these vain prononucements concerning unseero worlds and invisible planes of being, these playings on the fears, the hopes, the feeble senses, the eager imagina­ tions, and the ill-balanoed reasom the masses, are as old as--nay, ap­ parently older than--history. Some­ times in this, as in other things, we are tempted to ask, "Does the world make any progress, or are we <stM to compete j nioving on the same planes and in the same grooves of supersttaton, folly, and s^lf-deccptjon?" Sacred Pigeons sT Venice. It may be of interest to such read ers as like to sentimentalize on sacned subjects to know that the "holy pig­ eons of St. Mark's" have tieen reoog- nized as such by the authorities of Venice for more than a thousand years--ever since the year . 877. In the olden times it was the cvstotn of the sacristans of St. Mark's Church to release doves and pigeons, lettered with paper, alter the religious serv­ ices of Pali^Sunday. The fetters partially disabled the poor birds, and such of those as did not escape were caught by the peo­ ple, and who fatted them for Easter dinner. Sometimes one and some­ times a dozen of the poor fluttering creatures would manage to break the paper thongs which bound wings and feet together, whereupon they almost invariably sought refuge on the roof and in the steeples of the historic old church. All of the escaped birds as­ sumed a certain sacredness, and, it being against the law to Kill or harm them in any way, increased to enor­ mous numbers. During the time of the republic the "Sacred Pigeons of St. Mark's" be­ came objects of natjonal solicitude, tons of grain being ainnually supplied for their maintenance. After the fall of the republic thousands of them starved to death and all would have died but for provision made bya pious old lady whose will perpetually pro­ vides for them. Unique aad Cruel Array Experiments. Of all the extraordinary scientific experiments, surely the most'extra­ ordinary is that reported by the Lon- don Times' correspondent as having been made at St. Petersburg last week. Some t ials'of armor plates were going on, and "this trial was made use of to carry out a very curi­ ous experiment to decide the effects of heavy gup-flring upon the nervous system of animals. A number of rab­ bits-were slung up in bags on frames close to the line of fire, and dogs and cats were also tied up under cover be­ neath the muzzle of the gun." The result is not given, but It is easy to imagine that the nervous system of the poor brutes suffered rather se­ verely.--Figara Royal Bdkiiijr Powder.
