PACIFIC SHORT LINK.
PUZZLED BY A FAKIR.
Bostonians Photojrrupi, Indian’s Pent,
But Develop Nothing.
Two young men of Boston, while on
a journey through India last summer,
witnesses an eil>ibition hy a fakir In
a small Tillage outside Calcutta. The
lakir was performing the usual ex
periment of making a rope descend
from the clouds and a man comedown
™;„op?:wh°Tended by th°
route after having his head cut off.
The exhibition was in an open square
before 1,000 spectators. Every one
8a2[tPla*nly what was happening.
The two Bostonians had cameras
with them, and took numerous snap
shots of the exhibition in its various
stages. They intended to write an
article upon the subject fora maga
zine, and illustrate it direct from pho
tographs. They developed the plates
wito much interest upon their return
to Boston recently. They were non
plused when they saw the results,
■the photographs revealed the fakir,
surrounded by the crowd, with aston
ishment, bewilderment and horror
pictured on their faces; but the extra
ordinary decapitation they had wit
nessed did not show upon the sensi
tive plates. The crowd standing
around were apparently looking at
nothing in the photographs
What they saw had not happened at
all, but they merely saw it in their
mind’s eye. While there is nothing
remarkable in the force of suggestion,
when applied to one person, it would
not be impossible for an impression,
such as the event which the Boston
men saw, to be conveyed to one per
son in hypnotio condition. The cir
cumstances at the Indian fakir’s ex
hibition were, however, entirely dif
ferent Here were 1,000 people, fully
awake, who all saw in their mind ex
actly the same picture, and had no
doubt that the wonderful events actu
ally happened.
RULES FOR BICYCLISTS.
Sarcasm Used aa a Means to Teach Co or
tesy on the Roach
L The one object which all cyclists
should keep steadily in view is to be
come “scorchers." There are three
essentials before you can earn this
proud title. First, you must totally
disregard the convenience or safety of
the public. Second, you must ride at
minimum rate of fifteen miles an hour.
Third, you must develop pronounced
curvature of the spine as quickly as is
compatible with your other engage
ments.
3. Races should always be held on
the high roads at a time of day when
traffic is busiest
3. Should you be unfortunate
enough to knock down a pedestrian,
do not trouble to stop and apologize
or Inquire if he’s hurt It is his busi
ness to get out of your way, and you
should remind him of this obligation
in the most forcible language at your
disposal. This will tend to make the
pastime exceedingly popular among
non-cyclists.
t It you notice an old gentleman
crossing the road wait till you get
quite close to him, then emit a wild
warwhoop, blow your trumpet and
enjoy the roaring fun of seeing what
a shock you have given him.
5. A still better plan, if a wayfarer
happens to be walking in the middle
of the road and going in your direc
tion, is not to signal your approach at
all, but to startle him into fits by sud
denly and silently gliding by him
when he believes himself to be quite
alone. The nearer you can shave his
person the better the sport.
6. Of course the last plan is much
improved if the wayfarer should be a
market woman carrying milk or eggs,
and, if in her fright, she drops her
can or basket. Unfortunately few
cyclists have the good fortune to wit
ness this exquisite bit of rural comedy.
| Aluminum.
There is an erroneous idea with ref
erence to aluminum. While it is true
that alumina is present in all day
and nearly all our country rocks there
is no process known for extracting it
from clay as a practical commercial
proposition. The obstacle not yet
overcome is the presence of silica,
which is reduced as a metal with the
aluminum, rendering it brittle and
unfit for use. All the aluminum pro
duced for commercial purposes is from
cryolite and beauxite, the former
coming from Greenland and the latter
from the Allegheny mountains and
other places. Cryolite is a mineral
having the appearance of alum.
Beauxite is a brown mineral resem
bling fine sandstone.
At Rome Do as the Romans Do.
Ambrose, bishop of Milan in the
fourth century, was once visited by
Monica and her son Augustine, the
celebrated bishop of Hippo in North
Africa. There was one point as to
which Augustine was in some trouble,
and he therefore asked Ambrose for
his guidance in the matter. At Borne,
he said, it was the custom to fast on
Saturday, while at Milan they fasted
not; what course was he, Augustine, to
take? “Well,” replied Ambrose,
“when I am here, I dine as they are
in the habit of doing, but when I go
to Borne, I do as Bomans do.” This
sensible saying has passed into a
proverb, and means “Fall in with the
custom of those with whom you hap
pen to bo living. ’*_
Mot Re.
A thorough-going egotist is general
ly devoid of the sense of humor.
Such a person to whom no name need
be given, was one time discoursing,
chiefly of himself, but incidentally of
others. “There’s old Dr. Backbite,”
said he; “that man has the vilest char
acter of any man I ever saw. He
never ope’ns his mouth without speak
ing ill of some one. He’s an intolera
ble nuisance.” No one replied and
the speaker went on. “Now I can’t
understand that- As for me I make
it a rule never to speak any ill of any
one!”
•'LITTLE RED HOUSE.'*
Th« Famous Ilonse of Nathaniel Haw
thorns Will He Restored.
Tho "Little Rid House,” in which
Nathaniel Hfcwthorne wrote "Tangle
wood Tales,” "The House of Seven
Gables,” and other stories, is to be re
stored. For many years the house,
which is'situated on the shore of
Stoekbridge Bowl, near the north
western end, has been closed to the
public.
a year op two ago there came suoh
ft desire from the society and literary
people to see It that it was put in
charge of an old lady, and was visited
almost daily throughout the summer
and autumn season. The house was
destroyed by fire sometime ago and all
that remains is the foundation and a
part of the old fashioned chimney. It
is on the south side of the highway
leading toward Stoekbrldge from Len
nox, Mass.
Many relics, pieces of brick and
stone from the foundation, are carried
away every year by the numerous
curiosity seekers. There are poople
now living who know when the house
was finished, and there are records
showing the room in which Hawthorne
wrote his famous works while llvinir
there.
There are several famous houses
within a radius of a few miles, includ
ing the Plunkett house in Pittsfield,
which Longfellow made famous by
his poem, the “Old Clock on the
Stairs, ” the house of Herman Melville,
now or formerly owned by Colonel
Lathers, Of Now York; “The Perch,”
where Fanny Kemble resided in
Lenox;the Sedgwick amnsion in Stock
bridge, and the Bryant house in Great
Barrington. All these are standing.
The people feel that a restoration of
the “Little Bed House” would be a
valuable and interesting addition to
the number. ' ■*
SIGN LANGUAGE USELESS.
Mistakes That Led Two Men to Oso
Hands Instead of Tongue*
Jones went out to the Boston deaf
and dumb asylum to inspect the insti
tution. On entering he met a man,
evidently an inmate, and he at once en
deavored to explain to the man by
making signs upon his fingers that he
wanted to look through the place.
The man also made signs which Jones
could not comprehend. Then Jones
made other and more elaborate mo
tions, which set the man at work with
greater violence, and for the next half
hour they stood in the hall gesticulat
ing and twisting their fingers without
either being able to comprehend what
the other meant. Finally Jones became
angry, and in an outburst of wrath
exclaimed:
“Oh, get out, you idiot. I’m tired
of bothering with youl”
Thereupon the man said, “That’s
just what I was going to say about
you.”
“Oh, you can speak, can you? Then
why in thunder didn’t you say so and
not keep me standing here motioning
to you? I thought you were deaf and
dumb.”
“And I thought you were,” said the
man.
“I came here to inspect the asylum,”
said Jones, “and I took you for a pa
tient”
“That’s what I came here for, and
I thought you were an attendant,”
said the man.
Here Jones and the man shook
hands and hunted up a genuine at
tendant and went away happy.
After this Jones will always use his
tongue first no matter where he is.
BUSH JUSTICE.
The Judges Disagreed and so the Pris
oner Went Free.
There is a very good story going
the rounds respecting “bush justice.”
If it is not true it ought to be. An
Australian gum-digger had been ac
cused by a store-keeper of larceny of
some gum. The accused was brought
up at an improvised court in a pub
Three justices sat in a row at one end
of the room, the prisoner, constable
and prosecutor at the other. After
hearing the evidence one of the jus
tices, after looking atj the justices*
guide, said to the prisoner:
“We find you guilty; six months’
hard."
No. 3 chimed in with, “You’ve read
the wrong page; it should be page—
and three months;” while No. 3 dis
sented from both awards, and said that
under page—the correct sentence was
a month.
“I won’t have a month,” said the
storekeeper, “it’s not good enough!"
“Silence in the court,” roared the
constable.
“Well, then I withdraw the case.”
said, the prosecutor. Case accordingly
withdrawn. The storekeeper, it is
said got the gum-digger into the back
yard and hammered him. Feeling
somewhat satisfied then, he gave the
.gum-digger a one-pound note as a
shinplaster, and so the affair ended.
Pointed.
Clergymen are supposed to have a
peculiar talent for “improving the oc
casion. One of them did this in
a witty, and, let us hope, an edifying
manner: Iu early life ha had met with
an accident which left him with a
broken nose, a deformity, about which,
in spite of his piety, he was known to
be a little sensitive. One day a new
inquirer propounded the old question:
“How happened you to break your
nose?” The minister answered sol
emnly: “To tell the truth, my friend,
the accident was caused by my poking
my nose into other people's business.”
