The Amateur Magician.
Tie a piece of 'cotton thread to
the stem of a pear, and by thi.V
this means suspend the pear from
the chandelier:. The tn read should
nut be more than four or five inch
es in length, as the pear should
hang as high as possible. Under
it place an uncovered table.
Fill a glass with water, and
move it up under the ' pear
until the latter is immersed.
Be sure that you do not touch the
i pear with the side of the glass, for
it is necessary that it shouldhang
perfectly motionless. Having thus
immersed the pear, gently take
away the glass, when the water
that clung to the pear will fall to
the table in a few drops. These
drops will be in a straight line from
the center ot the pear, and that ig
the point that you want, bavins
doue all this in secret, and put the
glass out of sight, call the company
forward, and tell them that yon are
going to hold a table knife in your
hand, and make the pear fall on it
in such a way that it will be cut ex
actly into halves. This will seem
to them impossible, for they do not
known thst the drops of water have
maked the place where you are to
hold the knife blade. When you
are ready, get some ouo to'apply a
lighted. match to the thread above
the pear, and the latter will fall
squarely on the knife. You may
divide the pear into . quarters by
holding two knife blades, crossed
at fight angles, over the spot mark
ed by drops of water. Sharp ateel
kuives are the best to use.
If you had to drive a fine needle
through a nickel or a quarter-dol
lar, perhaps you would not know
how to go about it. Letns.tell you.
Thrust the needle through the mid
dle of a cork so that its point can
barely be felt at the other end.
If that part of ,it projects at the
upper end of the cork, clip it
off flash, by means of a p'air
of shears. Now place a nickel
or a silver quarter ou two blocks
of wood with a little space between
them, put the cotk on the coin so
that the needle poiut will be over
the space, strike the cork a sharp
blow with a heavy hammer, and
the thing is done. The cok keeps
the needle from bending, and as it
is harder than the metal in thecoiu,
aud is bound to move when struck,
it will go right through the coin.

Good Mancers Save d Him.
This anecdote proves the profit

and was told to me by desofndent
of the gentleman who owned them.
.Mr. M. ot was nut in the
Forty-five. Be was taken and
brought to thv tower with Kilmar
nock and Belemriuo. A block
stopped the sad cortege, and a
lady looking from a window,
cried :
'"You.feall rebej (Mr. M. was
6 feet 4 inches). Yon will soon
be shorter by a head !"
"'Does that irive you pleure,
madaiuf" said Mr. M.
."Yes it does."
"Then madam,'''' said Mr.' M.,
taking off his hat and' making a
low bow, I do not die in vaiir"
Lady : was moved. Slie
made interest for Mr. M. There
exists a paper in the hand of
George II, to;this effect: -
"Let Lady (the name is
obliterated) have access to her tall
rebel, and be d d to her."
The royal clemency was extend
ed to Mr. M. I saw his pardon
beautifully engrossed with a
decorative border, and framed, on
the wall of hir descendant's study.
It is fair to add that practically
the whole county of Rosa, and also
the Earl of Sutherland, petitioned
for the life of the courteous Mr. M.

As to the Polish Race.
The Commoner: Polish societies
throughout the country are adopt
ing resolutions of sympathy for
Mrs. McKinley and denouncing
her husband's assassin. At the
same timn they are disavowing the
act of Czolgosz, who is of Polish
decent. In the wave of righteous
indignation aroused by the foul at
tack upon the president' there is
grave danger that an injustice will
be done to a "brave and libertv lov-
iug people. Anarch v is nF thejcpms 1,1 mps io o. J-' - morse,

Schley's Generous Spirit.
Galveston Tribune.
Admiral Evans testifies that
whim he went into Admiral
Schley's cabin to make a report a r
few days after the destruction of
Cevera's fleet: . "Me (Schley) was
sitting at his desk writing. He
put his hand on my shonhier and
said: 'Bobby, I am just writing,
my report of the battle of the. 3d of .
July. I have said of you that you -handled
your ship with- consnmate
skill.' "
Schley's first remark to Sampson
after the battle was: "There's
glory enough-for all." .
This has been his spirit from
first, to last consideration for all,
honor for each, a fair chance for
every man to do his best, and glory
of the navy as a whole.
tie may have erred in not coaling
at sea. He may have been at fault
in not going in and destroying the
Colo'n. Those are points for the.
court of inquiry to. determine.
Considering the high character of I
the members of the conrt, the pub
lic is prepared to accept its verdict.
But whatever the verdict, the peo
ple will always hold Schley in the
fondest esteem.
It is a proud thing to be a great
commander, but it is a lovelier
thing to be a generous man.
Admiral Schley's conduct is in.
striking contrast with the conduct
of the most conspicuous figures
about him, those who are technical
ly above him and those who are
below him, those who served under
him off Cuba and those who are
uow testifying adversely to his in
terests, iu nearly all of whom there
is a contemptible spirit of jealousy, t
envy and general ill will.
