A healthy boy has as many as you, but he doesn't know it. That is
the difference between "sick" and "well."
Why don't you cure yourself? It is easy. Don't wait. Paine's

Joke on Hermann.
Vainly have the audiences that witnessed
the mystifying performances of Professor
Alexander Hermann, at the New Haven Op?
era Hou3e, Thursday, Friday and Saturday j
evenings,endeavored to ascertain by what'
means bo- accomplished the many tricks be
did. The audiences of the present day are
too highly educated to believe that there is
anything supernatural about the perform
ancee of magicians, They know that every*
thing is an illusion; there is nothing real
about it, but it was impossible for any one to
detect the modus operandi of any of toe
numerous tricks performed by the world
famed prestidigitateur, Hermann. If any
man was ever fitted naturally for any pro?
fession, he is for the profession he follows.
His bands are long and slim, and have one
peculiarity. The palms are so concave that
he can easily hold an egg in one hand, and
allow that member to hang by his side in an
easy manner, Thi3 peculiarity aids him
greatly in acts of palming ; that is, holding
an object in one hand while appealing to
pass it. to the other, which forms a great
factor in the art of the magician. Moreover,
his bands are wonderfully sirocg, he being
abie to tear a pack of cards in halves with
ease. Hermann seldom tells how any of
his tricks are done, and his natural modesty
causes him to refrain from talking very
much about himself. To a reporter
who visited him recently he give an ex?
hibition of palming and parlor magic, per?
forming some very remarkablo feats with
common objects, such as rings, cane?, etc.
"I once bad a singular experience," ho said,
"while giving a performance at the house of
the governor of Montevideo, in which I had
the tables turned oq me. During my perform?
ance I noticed three half savage Patagon
ians standing aside from the rest of the com?
pany, and I at once determined to have
some funtwith them. From the nose of tbo
first I too'k an orange, from the hair of the
second I took a number of silver coins, and
the third wa3 overpowered with terror when
I extracted a live rat from his nose. Utter?
ing a cry of fright, the Patagonians with?
drew. Wbiie receiving the congratulations
of the guest on the success of tho entertain?
ment, I discovered that my watch and chain,
purse, eye glasats and handkerchief were
missing. In a ehort time the Patagonians
returned, and the one from whoso nose the
rat had been taken handed me the missing
artioles. He had picked my pocket st the
moment he appeared to bo overcome with
fright." Some of the tricks performed by
Herrmann are very simple. The trick of
taking rabbits from a silk hat is especially
so. Oo either side of tho magician's coat
are two deep pockets in which the rab?
bits are concealed. Holding tbo hat near
the coat he by a slight gesture diatrncts the
attention of the audience and by a quite
movement the animal is forced into the bat.
The second one may be introduced in the
same manner, or he stoops down to place
the first rabbit on the floor and then easily
puts the second animal into the hat, which
is held near his breast. Another favorite of
nisi? allowing a person to shoot a pistol which
is loaded with a marked bullet, at him, he
catching the bullet in his hand. The bul?
let is marked by a person in the audience
and is then banded to Hermann. He palms
it, substituting a bullet made of common
black lead or graphite. In ramming, this
bullet in the pistol it is ground to dust, and
is as harmless as if the pistol were only load?
ed with powder. A: soon as the pistol is
discharged he shows the marked bullet he
palmed and mystifies the audience. All of
bis tricks are built upon a plan similar to
these. He does not do what he is expected
to, but by bis dexterity ho leads the aui
dence to believe that he does all be says.
Hermann does not claim to be the professor
of supernatural power, but he does claim he
can mystify an audience.
Cured by Faith.?Referring to the great
number of cures which have been effected
this year at Ste. Anne de Beaupre, province
of Quebec, VEtcndard of Montreal says that
at least three took place during the recent
pilgrimage of the Catholics of Redford, Is.
Y., to that place. The mother of tb6 Rev.
Father Charleowneau, of Lyon Mountain,
who for nearly a year could" neither walk
nor use her hands?her limbs being para?
lyzed?after receiving communion at the
shrine walked back to the boat and gained
complete control of her arms and bands.
Mrs. E. VieDS, of the same place, had been
told by her physicians that she would never
be able to walk. However, after honoring
the relics of the saint, she was able to dis?
card her crutches aud go back to her pew
unaided, and haB been able to walk ever
since. A young lady of Maione, whose
name is not given, had a tumor in one of her
feet, completely deDriving her of the use of j
her foot. After her devotions at the shrine j
the swelling and pain commenced abating j
and she is now completely restored to health.
