The Bullet 'trick.
, The probability was 99- to 1 that he
would be shot, yet an Indian juggler took
that one chance rather than acknowledge
his inability to catoh the bullet. Dr.
Hoffman, the government ethnologist at
Washington, tells the story:
The bravest act 1 have ever known was
performed by an Indian juggler. A favor-
ite trick of his was o cr that hatg often been
performed by white nagiclang.
I t consisted in pe Hang himself to be
shot at, the hoeus po,us being an arrange-
ment by which the ullet fell out of the
barrel tato a cavity ih the stock before the
weapon was dlsohared. Meanwhile the
man had another b net concealed in his
mouth, which at th instant of firing he
pushed outward wlti his tongue, so as to
make itappear that he caught the projec-
tile between his teeth.
New, it happened that this man had a
rival, who was enga d in the conjuring
business in a ncighh ring village. On an.
occasion when the tri k was to be perform-
ed, the juggler havin announced as usual
that he was ready to e shot at by any one
present, the rival stepped forward and said
that he would do th shooting, but he de-
manded, permission t use his own gun.
Naturally the jug ler objected, but his
protest was overruled It was decided that
the riva1 magician might use his own
weapon. This meant almost sure death to
the performer. Yet h did not blench. To
refuse thelest Would mve been permanent
disgrace.
There was 1 chance out of 100 perhaps
that the marksman ight miss. He de-
cided to take that cha co and so permitted
the volunteer exeoutio • er to take deliberate
aim and -Ere at him f om a distance of half
Et dozen. paces. An natant later he fell
dagia; the bullet had passed through his
brain.—Youth's Com nion.
Famous 1. teetives.
England hasiprodu 'ed naany famous de-
tectives, but notwithe nding the skill of

their inirnediate pred ceseors theydo not
seem to hold anythin like the record that
American and French facials eangproduce.
Even America would seem to rank seemed
to France, where the ystem of -espionage
is of long standing. The intrigues of court,
and nestably.of the rench court in the
middle ages, seem to lave bred the detect-
ive spirit among Frcjachmen, and today,
as of old, it is a notor ous fact that secret
serviceds in vogue to ijnmense dimensicins.
Men are 'followed ev rywhere and their •
movements watched. One does not know
who may be a spy, an.4 even in private cir-
cles a- so,called. friend may be the agent of

tutes the Frenchman a a natural detective,
with the consequence that largenunaber

ferreting out crimin Is and political of-
fenders. This also a counts for the ac-
knowledged fact tha crimes are more
surely traced back to ffenders there than
they are here and else here. The number
of undiscovered crime in England va,stly
exceeds that of Fran e, notwithstanding

When Making Fast he Flag Halyards.
"Many a slender flagpole has been
ruined," said a riggra, "by drawing the
halyards down too ssugly when making
them fast after haulin down the flag. If
this is done in dry we ther and it come'S
on wet, the sluinki • g of the halyards

TORONTO, Augast 5th.—Trade,.Was a littl
more brisk, and prices for. export cattle
though scarcely quotably advanced, wer
firmer. The outside price paid was
for shipping eattle,though 823.75 was talked
about, but it was mot paid. The encourag-
ing advicee from England had •a, stimulating
effect, and prices Were nominally advanced;
but to say they were quotably better would
be unfair. As far- as butehers' cattle were '
concerned the less, perhaps, said the better;
there was no good butchers' stuff here, and
it had to its e something really good that
brought 3eg per lb. Common stuff graded
down to 2e, and occasionally lower; a few
picked lots did sell at 3*c. We had a con-
siderable number of Montreal buyers here,
and a good quantity of cattle went there.
Sales were of no value in a repTresentative
sense. Sheep and Iambs were toe plentiful;
export sheep were- worth 3c, butchers', 2ic
per lb ; lambs (if really choice) fetched 3ic;
only choice lambs eand sheep are wanted.
Milkers are unchanged, and were in ample
supply to -day, selling at from 820 to 830
.each. Calves are only wanted if choice.
Hogs are steady at from 40 to 4ic for the
best offered.
