SINGULAR FEATS OF MAGIC.

Onc 6f lny best friends in Chicago1
laid the traveling man "is a magician.
He is a great man in magic too but the
world lius never heard of him for he ia
' cot a professional. He deals in magic
merely as pastime. He is as clever at
mil the tricks cs any man on the stage.
And be dabbles in all the departments of
the occult. Casting horoscopes is easy
for him and lie is away up in slate

"One night last summer he and I

visiting old places we used to know
togetherr.and late in the evening wc
dropped into a police station where
the desk sergeant was an.old acquaintance-
AVestood out on the pavement
smoking and talking and finally- the
desk sergeant -asked our friend to do
something in his art for the entertain-
ment of the crowd.
"lie modestly declined in that man-
ner you know which suggested that he
only needed urging. The policemen
crowded about and everybody put in
his request for ti friek. Finally he
yielded and footing about as if in
doubt what ub do his eyes rested on the
patrol wagon standing in the center
of the stable the horses in their stalls
on either side.. - There was only a dim
light in t)ie stable and the headlight on
the front of the wagon shone on our
faces.
"All eyes followed his. We gazed
silently on the bull's-eye on the patrol
wagOn. The magician said: 'I will give
you an example of the power of mind
over matter. I will make that wagon
come up to me by willing it to do so.'
"He struck an attitude made a few
' Svengali-like grabs in the air in the
direction of the wagon and darn my
buttons if that wagon didn't move up
slowly until the tongue touched his
hand! Well you never saw such an
astonished party of men as those po-
licemen and it made my scalp creep
It was so mysterious and uncanny.

CHAPTEB IX. CoxnjOJED.
Kiss Brewster looked up languidly
from her book during the first part of
this recital. Then she sprang sudden-
ly to herfeet and threw the book on the
deck.
"Who is it that will take' tho tele-
grams?" she asked the steward.
"The mate miss. There he is stand-
Ing yonder miss."
She made her way quickly to that
official.

VYes miss. Ia it a lonfr one?" he
aaked. i
"Yes it is a very long one."
"Well miss" was the answer "von
haven't much time; to write it. Wo
leave now in a few minutes.""
"It is all written out; I have only to
add a few words to it" Miss Urewstcr
at once flew to her stateroom. The
telegram about the mine was soon be-
fore her with the words counted and
the silver and gold that were to jay for
it piled on the table. She resolved to
run no risk of delay by having th".
message sent "to collect.'' Then she
dashed off as quickly as she could a
brief and verj- graphic account of th
disaster which had overtaken the
Calorie If this account was slightly
exaggerated. Miss IJrewwster had no
time to tone it down. Picturesque and
dramatic .description was what she
aimed at. Iler pen flew over the paper
with great rapidity and she looked up
every now and then through her state-
room window to sec danglir.ir from the
ropes the boat that was to nuike the at-
tempt to reach the Irish coiist. As she
could thus see how the preparations for
the departure were going forward she
lingered longer than she might other-
wise have done and added line after line
to the dispatch which told of the dis-
aster. At last she saw the men take
their places in the long boat. She
hurriedly counted the words in the new-
dispatch she had written and quickly
frcm her purse piled the gold that was
necessary to pay for their transmission.
Then she sealed the two dispatches in
an envelope put. the two pJlcs of gold

sprang to her feet but as s4ie didoh"
gave a shriek and took a step back-
ward. Standing with her back to the door
was Kdi tii Longvvorth. When she
had entered the stateroom Miss Urews-
tcr did not know but her heart beat
wildly ns she saw the girl standing
silently there as if she had risen up
through the lloor.
"What are you doing here?" she de-
mauded.
"I am here" paid Miss Longworth
"because 1 wish to talk vjthyou."
"Stand asiile; I have no time to talk
with von just now. I told ou I didn't
want to see you again. Stand aside I
tell you."
"1. shall not stand aside."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that I shall not stand aside."
"Then 1 shall ring the bell and have
you thrust out of here for v our impu-
dence." "You shall not ring the bell." said
Edith calmly put ting her hand over the
white china arrangement that held in
its center the black elect rh button.
"Do you mean to tell me that. you in-
tend to keep me from leaving my own
stateroom?"
"I mean to tell vou exac-lv that."
"Do vou know that voU can be im- !
prisoned for attempting siil-h a thing?"
"I don't care."

window showed Miss Urelvstcr that the
mate had got into the boat and that
they were steadily lowering away.
"Let me pass you yoit wretch!"
"All in good time" replied IMith
Longvvorth whose gaze was also upon
the boat swinging in midair. Jenny
Urewstcr saw at once that if it came
to a hand-to-hand encounter she would
have no chance whatever against the
Knglish girl who was in every way her
physical superior. . She. had her en-
velope in one hand and the gold in the
other. She thrust botK of them into
her pocket which aftersonic fumbling
she found. Then she rr-iscd her voice
in one of the most appMIing screams
Edith Longworth had e'er heard. As
if in answer to thatcar-picreingscreani
there arose from the steamer a loud
and ringing cheer. Doth glanced up
to see where the boat was but it was
not in sight. Several ro-cs were dang-
ling down past the portholes. Miss
Brewster sprang up on the sofa and
with her small bauds turned round
the screw which held the deadlight
closed.
Edith Longworth looked at her with-
out making uny attempt to prevent the
unfastening of the window.
JennicBrewster flung open the heavy
brass circle which held the thick green
glass and ngainshc screamed at the top
of her voice crying 'Help!" and "Mur-

heard and 'again a rousing cheer rang
out from those who were left upon the
jriqtipnless steamer. Edith Longworth
raised herself on tiptoe and looked out
of -the open window. On the crest of
a wave 500 yards away from the vessel
she saw the boat for a "moment appear
showing the white glitter of her six
dripping oars; then it vanished down
the ot'-cr side of the wave into the
trough of the sea.
"Now Miss Brewster you nrc-at lib-
erty to go."
CHAPTER X.
After Edith Longworth left her
Jennie Brewster indulged in a brief
spasm of hysterics. Her good sense
however speedily got her out of that
and as she became more or less calm
she began to wonder why she had not
assaulted the girl who had dared to im-
prison her. She dimly remembered
that she thought of a fierce onslaught
at the time and she also remembered
that the fear of the boat leaving during
the row had stayed herhand. Butnow
that the boat had left she bitterly re-
gretted her inaction and grieved un-
nvailingly over the fact that she had
stopped to write the account of the dis-
aster which befell the CaloricHad she
not done so all might have been well
but her great ambition to be counted
the best newspaper woman in New-
York and to show the editor that she
was equal to any emergency that might
arise had undone her. While it would
have been possible for her to send away
one telegram her desire to write the
second had resulted in her sending none
at all. Although she impugned her
own conduct in language that one
would not have expected to have heard
from the lips of a danghtcrof a million-
aire her anger against Edith Long-
worth became more intense and a
fierce desire to have revenge took pos-
session of tho fair correspondent. She
resolved that she would go up on deck
and shame this woman In-fore every-
body. She would attract public atten-
tion to the affair by tearing Edith
Longworth from Jier deck chair and
in her present state of mind she had
no doubt she had the strength to do it.
With the yearning i'or revenge tierce
and strong upon her the newspaper
woman put on her hat and departed for
the deck. Like an cut aged tigre-s she
passed up one side and dovv n the other
but her would-be victim was not vis-il-le.
The rage of Miss Urewstcr in-
ci eased when he found her prey war
not. where she expected. She hail a
fear that when she calmed down her
own good scum- would axsert itself and
her revenge would be lost. In going
to and fro along the deck she met Ken
yon and Fleming walking together.
Fleming had just that moment come up
to Keiivon. who was moodilv pacing
the deck alone and 'dapping him on
the shoulder asked him to have a
drink.
"It seems t o me" he said. "t ha t.I never
have had the pleasure of offering urn
a drink since we came on board the ship.
1 want to drink with everybody who is
here and esjeeialry now when some-
thing has happened to make it worth
while."
"I am cry much obliged to you" aid
John Ken; on. coldly "but 1 never drink
with anybody."
"What never touch it at all? Not even
ale?"
"Not even ale."
"Well. I am astonished to hear that.
I thought every Iliiglishmau drank ale."
"There is at least one Englishman
who docs not."
"All right then no harm don' and
no offence given I hope. 1 may say.
however that vou miss lot of fun in
this woi Id."
"I presume I miss a few headaches
also."
""Oh not necessarily. I have one great
recipe for not having a headache. You
see. this is the philosophy of head-
aches." and then much to John's cha-
grin he liuKed arm with him and
changed his step to suit Ke:iyo-"s talk-
ing all the time as if they were the rno-t
intimate friends in the wrold.
"1 have a sure plan for avoiding a
headache. You -e w hen vou look into
th- matter it is this way. The head-
ache only cume-. when you arc sober.
Very well then. It is as simple as A IJ

"Ah. true: I had forgotten that. Well.
I took this barkeeper here in hand and
he know s now how to make a reasonably
good cocktail; ami. as I fay that secret
will be worth money to him from Amer-
ican passengers."
John Kenyon was revolving in his
mind the pioblem of how to get rid of
this loquacious and gem rou.s individual
when he saw. sailing down upon them
the irate figure of Miss Jennie I'.rcwster.
ami he wondered what was the cause of
the look of bitter imFgiintion Hashing
from her e.e. He thought that she in-'
tended to'addre the American ioli-
tician. but he was mistaken. She came
directly at him and with her ffst
clenched said in a loud voice:
"Well John Kenyon what dj you
think of your work?"
"What work?" asked the bewildered
man.
"You know very well what work I
mean. A fine specimen of a man you
are! Without the courage yourself to
prevent my sending that telegram you
Induced your dupe to come down tomy
stateroom and brazenly keep me from
sending it."
The look of utter astonishment that
camo upon the face of honest John Ken-
Xpn would have convinced any wornsn
!l ? that be kw ootbtof t
all af what she was speaking. A dim
idea of this indeed flashed across the
young woman's heated brain. But be-
fore Bhe could speak Fleming said:
"Tut tut my dear girl you are talk-
ing too loud altogether. Do you want
to attract the attention of everybody
on the 'deck? You-mustn't make a
scandal in this way on board ship."
"Scandal!" she cried. "We will soon
sec whether there will be a scandal or
not. Attract the attention of those on
deck! That is exactly what I am going
to do until I show up the villainy of this
man you tire talking to. 31c was the
concoctor of it and he knows it. She
never had brains enough to think of it.
lie was tot) much of a coward to carry it
out himself and so he set her to do his
dastardly piece of work."
"Well well" said Fleming "even if
he has done all that whatever it is it
will do no good to attraet the attention
to it here on deck. Sec how everybody
is listeniug to what you are saying. My
dear girl you are too angry to talk just
now; the best thing you can do is to go
to your stateroom."
"You shut your silly mouth will
you?" she cried turning furiously upon
him. "I'll thank you to mind your own
business and let me attend to mine. I
should Lave thought that you would
have found out before this that I am ca-
pable of attending to my ovv n affairs."
"Certainly certainly my dear girl"
answered the politician soothingly.
"Fin sorry I can't tell you all to come
and have a drink with me and talk the
mntterovefquictly. That's t he correct
way to do things. Not to stand here
screeching m the deck with everybody
listening. Now if you will quietly dis-
cussthematter with John here I'm sure
everything will be all right."
"You don't know what you arc talk-
ing about" replied the young lady. "Do
you know that I had an important dis-
patch to send to the Argus and that
this man's friend doubtless at his in-
stigation camt into my room and prac-
tically held me prisoner there until the
boat had left so that 1 could not send I
the dispatch? Think of the cheek and
villainv of that and speak to me of talk-
ing wildly!"
A look of relief mid astonishment
came into Kern mi's face that quite con-
vinced the newspaper woman more
than all his protestations would have
done that he knew nothing of the es-
capade whatever.
"And who kept you from coming
out?" asked Fleming.
"It is none of your business" she re-
plied tartly.
"If you will believe mc." said Kenvon
at last "I knew nothWig whatever of all
this so you see there is no u-e s .caking
to mc about it. I won't pretend 1 am
sorry because I am not."
This added fuel to tl Ha me. and sdie
was about to bla.e out again when Ken-
yon turned on his heel and left her and
Fleming standing facing each other.
Then th" voting woman herself turned
and quickly departed leaving the aston-
ished politician entirely alone so that
there was nothing for him to do but io
go into the smoking-room ami ask
somebody to have a drink with him
which he promptly did.
Miss Urewstcr made her way to the
captain's room and rapped at I lie door.
On being told to enter she found that
ofiiecr seated at his table with some
charts before him and a haggaid look
upon his face which might have
warned her that this was not the proper
time to air any personal grievances.
"Well?" he said brieJly as she
entered.
1 came to see you. captain she he- j
grin "because an outrageous thing has
been done on board this ship and I de-
sire reparation what is more 1 will

"What is (he "outrageous thing?"
asked the captain.
"I hr.d some di-p:itelics to send to
Xew York to the New York Argus on

"Yes" said the captain with Miterest:
"dispatches relating to what has hap-
pened to the ship?"
"One of them did the other did not."
"Well. I hope" said the captain "you
have not given an exaggerated account
of tiie condition wc are in."
"I have given noaccount at all simply
because I was prevented from sending
the cablegrams."
"Ah. indeed" said tiie captain a
look of relief coming over his face in
spite of his efforts to conceal it. "and
pray what prevented you from sending
Vour cablegrams? The mate would
have t'ikeii any messages that were
given to hiiiu"
"I know that" cried the young
woman; "and when 1 was in my room

"Why diil you not ring your bell?"
"1 couldn't ring my bell because .she-

the bell it is not likely any hotly would
have answered it; everybody seemed
to be gawking after the boat that w:u

"You can hardly blame them for that.

think about it you will sec that what-
ever grievance you may have it is after
all a very trivial one compared to the
burden that weighs on mc just now

thing to do with disputes between the

TEMPERANCE.
THE SCOTCH ELDER.
Row He Took the VlrUsre to Save a
Lost Mrsl.
An honest shopkeeper in the north of
Scotland a worthy man and an elder
of the church was deeply imbued with
all the peculiar prejudices against tee-
totalfsm which we find even in America
beset some men of highly respectable j
chnracler. Be looked upon it a? a thing
unreasonable and unscriptural. "God
who gave us our reason" he argued
"desires that we should make use of it
in restraining and governing our np-
petitcs not In starving and denying
them. He who created the good things
....... .
of this life intended us to enjoy them
in -moderation when placed within our
power. In Scripture." he said "tire
moderate use of spirituous liquors is
nowhere forbidden." Anil he thought
that some temperance people were put-
ting reformation in place of vital god-
liness. Thus the good elder schooled
himself against teetotalisin.
One day w bile engaged in measuring
i off some yards of cloth a neighbor and
customer whom he knew to have be-
come almost a wreck through the use
of intoxicating liquors entered
ljs
shop. The poor man's face was Hushed
and his eye excited and anxious; but
this tinie he was perfectly sober.
"Mr. A " said he "will you save
a lost man? I want to take the pledge."
"Well do so; it's the best thing you
can do."
"Dut you know it would become a
brand for the like of me. if men of re-
spectable character such as you were
not often found to take it too. Will
you (join the teetotalers and I'll join
with you? If not. I mu.-t go to ruin.
It's my only chance. Mr. A will
you save a lost soul?"
The elder was staggered and star-
i tied; soiue dim recollection of "who is.
! my neighbor".'" and the jwirable of the ;
liooil r:iitiaritnti awoke in Jus heart:
nnd the fellow-creature before him. los-
i ing health wealth reputation reason

SNUFF INEBRIETY.

It is a well-known fact that a large
number of persons use tobacco snuff to
excess.
In some sections of the country this
nddictiou is very general and promi-
nent in the marked degeneration of the
victims.
The narcotic effect of tobacco used as
snuff seems to cause a profound depres
sion of all the senses and the body gen-
erallv. The higher physical life ap-
pears to suffer most manifest in loss of
J pride of character and appearance di
minished ambition to excel in any
j work
k disregard of surroundings and
S I
I opinions of others. Later delusions of
i "i I
persecution and injury with suspicion
I mid doubts of anything that is true.

many cases the mind has lost all power
of appreciating its real condition. Yol-
untarv efforts are usuallv confined to
ehangin:
to some other narcotic used '
bv the mouth. The effects of cocaine by
i the nose in most cases differs but little
' from that used in other ways. Yet
there Is a certain mental fascination in
the inhalation as in the use of tl.e
needle which is hard to overcome. The
delirium and pleasing relief with mild
excitement which follows makes this
form of inebriety most attractive.
The rapid exhalations of the sense of
comfort and strength. and sudden disap-
pearance of pain and mental fears ami
worriment all make a powerful iu
press on the mind and nerve centers.
This for a long time is far more power-
ful than the depression and suffering
which follows.
There can be no question that this
form of inebriety exists to a consid-
erable extent in all our large towns and
cities. A very sensational story of a
large number of persons in a certain
eastern village affected in this way has
some foundation in fact. It appears
that a certain druggist pushed the sale
of a nostrum containing cocaine used
in this way until the demand was very
large. The appearance of the toxic ef-
fects of cocaine in several person re
sulted in an exposure of .he danger
of the drug ami its sale pr.n-ti-..!I
ended. No doubt similar instances an-oceurring-iujnilividual
casus where tho
drug is not abandoned and cocaine in-
ebriety or other drug taking fallows.
As a nasal remedy it is exceedingly
dangerous and should be concealed and
guarded by the physician with great
care. The use by inhalation is more
likely to become an addiction than b
the mouth or needle. The treatment is
.surrounded with great dilliculties. ami
often taxes all the resources of the
physician to the utiiio-t.-.Ioitr:i.il
