Tricks of Indian JuM!r Tom my' Creat Invention Our Lit tle One THm Reindeer Ori gin of Tip-Cat Wilber and the Cow. Tricks of Indian Jugglers. As commooly described in travelers' tales, tbetree growing trick might well seem, impossible of explanation. But if the spectator expects to see a seed placed in the ground, the leaves start ing up above the soil, the growth in creasing, the shrub spreading and the fruit appearing and ripening directly under his eyes, he will be grievously disappointed. The juggler makes a little heap of moist earth, perhaps six or eight in ches high, on the stone step or the hard carriage drive in front ot the hotel where the traveller is staying. The jugjjler himself, dressed in a loin cloth only, squutaOii the ground be hind the heap places in it a nut, usual ly that of he mango tree, and spreads a cloth over the whole. After a short time, during which he waves his hand in the air or assumes to call upon a pagan divinity to help him, he snatched away the clotfi, and two or three tender leaves are seen appearing above the soil. He spreads the cloth over it once more. The plant appears to be grow- ing rapidly and pushing the cloth up. The juggler again snatches the cloth away, and a large and wide-spreading shrub is seen, its leaves covered with dew. Sometimes a tripod frame is used, over which the cloth is thrown, so that, the plant may "grow" freely beneath the email tent thus formed. When the leaves are just visible above the ground, the juggler lifts the plant from the earth and shows the spectators how the nut has apparent ly swollen and germinated, minting out the rootlets that extend from tho. nut through the moist earth. If, when it litis fully grown, there is no fruit on the tree, the'jugglor covers the piant once more with the cloth and after another short interval of waiting, again removes it. Two or three mangoes ave seen which the jug gler breaks oil and presents to the spectators. The best performance of it I have ever seen was in Madras, and I learned from the lugglers exactly how it wtw done. When the juggler apparently places the now mango nut in tho earth he really places an old split nut there, which he has held concealed in the palm of his hand. The new nut he conceals in tho place previously occu pied uy me om nut; in otner words, lie "palms it." After spreading the cloth, he drops . the new nut from the palm of his hand into a fold of his loin cloth, whence ho takes and "palms" a small plant, two or three inches long some times a httle twig of manga with the root of another plant fastened to the end of it. This he does while the attention of the spectators is given to the waving 01 Jiis otner nana in tno air, or to his gestures upward for the help of a cod. He then removes the cloth for the first time. No leaves appar. While replacmg the cloth, he inserts the root of the twig m theold nut, andarranges the soil so that the top of the stem and one or two small leaves appear auove me sunoce. This done, and the cloth being fully spread, he waves his hands again in : the air, and after a short time re moves the cloth for the second time, end reveals tho plant in its first stage. While with one hand showing the pianc witu its roots, etc., to the spec tators, he takes with the other hand from life loin-cloth a piece of branch half an inch or more in diameter, . which is wall provided with twigs and leaves. All of tliese are pressed close to the branch, and the whole wrapped round tightly with a pieceof wetcloth. I have seen this branch aa much as a foot and a lialf long. , The juggler conceals this behind his bare arm, and with a swift movement slides it under the cloth white ho is ap parency replacing the small plant. While spreadhig the cloth he un wraps the branch, sticks it iato the soil, expands the twigs andleaves,and squeezes over them the water from the wet cleth. Then, "palming" and with drawing the small plant, he proceeds as before with his gesticulations, re moves the covering and shows tho spreading shrub. In the samo manner slips the fruit, provided with stalks, under tho cloth in tho next stage, and twists the end of each stalk round one of the twigs. When he pulls the fruit after ward, he takes care to break the stalk ciose to the fruit. The cleverness lies in the wonderful dexterity which the juggler display's in making his important movements without being observed. Scarcely one of my readers, even with tins knowledge of tho way in which the trick is done, would actual ly see the juggler make any ono of the movements which he desires to be concealed.

I've thought, and tried, and I can't stem to find any way to flop that little door when the mouse goes in.

Johnny's mother had occasion to explain to him: "I am your only real mamma, if I die and you have an other mamma she will not be your real mamma, but just your step mamma." Johnny was also much interested in Indians, bavins seen some real Indians at a circus. Ilisthrae- year-aid-ahalf-o!d majesty stopped not long since and examined with in terest a cigar store Indian. Is it a real Indian?" inquired mamma. "So'." said Johnny, "it's just a step-Indian." It was Johnny who described at three years of age a skiff ride on the river as follows: "And papa just took the shovels and shoveled the river oway; and the boat went right along." iiut it was another thrce-vear o d who replied when asked at' her first view of a river, "Wliat is it, Katie?" "It's just a great big drink." A sturdy eight-year-old. with the craft of a Tallyraud, informed hi mother upon his return from school that "Will Brown and another fcflow got a licking today."

The precise population of New Eng land, either Indian orwhite.at thetime of Philip's war cannot be stated, but for the purpose of war it may be said that the forces on one side and on the other were equal. At that time the Indians were as well used to firearms as the w hites, but the firelock of those days was but an inefficient weapon compared with the musket of later times or, with the rifle of today. It seems certain that in urope flintlocks had been introduced before this time; but, on tho whole, the concurrence of evidence shows that such loeks were not used in tho civil war in England, and that both the king's party and the Purtians still relied on the matchlock. The form of this can bo readily explained to any person who has seen the old flintlock of the present century. A hammer a good deal larger than the hammer which afterward held the flint, but quite like it had a screw which tightened or loosened the hold which two pieces of iron had upon a match. Each soldier was obliged to carry some yards of this match with him, and when the battle began he lighted the piece of this match which was fixed in the hammer of the gun. A pa which held powder, exactly as tho pan of a flintlock afterward did, was in fronjs of the hammer, with a cover projecting,.fcoui which a sort of a horn raji up nearly vertical, to ba opened uy the hammer wlcn thesoluicrpuueu the trigger. The fire of the match com municated with the powder, and the day.' The Reindeer.' Tho rcindear is found throughout the at tic regions of Europe, Asia and America. Tho finest animals are those of Lapland and Spitsbergen. The Laplander finds his chief wealth in he possession of the rindr, which not only serves him as a beast of burden, but furnishes him also with food and clothing. A Laplander in good circii instances possesses three or four hundred 'deer, wlkich enable him to live in comfort. Thero is a gad-fly that annoys the reindeer very much, so much in fact that the Lap lander is forced to make periodical migrations to the mountains in order to escape it and tho equally dreaded mssquitoes, which are more ferocious in the cold climates rtian in the warm ones.

This is because the fire of the matches was extinguished by tho rain To change this rather clumsy lock into a flintlock simply requiredth.it a flint of sufficient sizesbould be screwed into tho hammer in the place made for the match. Tho flint, then strik ing upon the cover of the pan, made a spark which fell at the moment tho pan oponed iuto the oowdet .

In 1740 the Connecticut Lecialature cranted to Me-srs.

A hypothesis should bo to the I'hysicitst simply a provisional artifice for the convenient grouping or explaining of a number, of determined phenomena; and, to our view, a bal loon is a similar artifice, the present usps of which may be valuable.

"I suppose then you'll invent a jack knife that won't get lost, and a pock et that will never wear out, and a gold watch that can be bought for twonty Cve tents." Tommy didn't half hear, being very busyv'th his little box. "Would you liko to eee my inven tion, Untie Peter?" said ho nt last. "I've got it all fixed but just one little Eoint. It's a mousa-trap. See, here e comes, looking for his mipper. And here's a sort o' little feed-box full of cake and cheese. And ho smell the cheese, and keeps sniffing' round till he sees it, and then in he goes at this hole, and flop comes the little door, and there's Mr. Mouse! Oh, it's lots better than a cat!" "Wh, of course 'tis," said Uncle refer. "It'll never scratch the babv, or drink out of the milk-pan, or keep folks awake in tho night. I can see it's better tlwn a cat!"

Colonial Steel-makers. In 1728 Samuel Higley, ofSimsbury, and Joseph Dewey, of Hebron, in Hartford County, Connecticut, repre sented to the Legislature that the said Higley had, 'with greafe pains and cost, found out and obtained a curioua art by which to convert, change, or transmute common iron intogood steel sufficient for any use, and was the first that ever performed such an operation in America." Swank gives on the authority of Mr. Charles J. lloadly, Librarian of the Connecticut State Library, a certifi cate, bigned by Timothy Phelps and John Drake, blacksmiths, which statt s that, in June, 1725, Mr'. Uigtey obtained from the subscribers several pieces of iron, so shaped that, they could be known again, and tiiat a few d-ys later "ho brought the samo pitxies which we let him have, and wo pitted them and found them good steel, which was the lirst steel that ever was made in this country that we ever saw or heard of." A patent was granted Higley and Dewey for ten years, provided "tho petitioners itnprovo the art to any good and reasonable perfect ion within two years from the data of thia act." It is insensitive to shock and can be exploded at will. The inventors assert that the ex plosive can always be used without danger. It has withstood a blow of 27,000 pounds, and a lighted match simply sets it on fire so that it burns like a candle. Neither is it affected by friction, aud an inexperienced porton can handle it without running the risk of a premature explosion. Gen. 0. 0, Howard has, therofore recommended the adoption of it by tha Government. "The advantages of being able," ho says, "to use nn explosive of a force equal to nitro-glycerine with safety, hral trora any gun now in existence and witli terrific effect at extreme range, is evident. With such a pow erful agent the problem of coast de fense is resolved almost to one of range, and our great seaboard cities can be made comparatively safe with out excessive expenditure."
