HinDOO ACROBATS.
Tlior Per ' , -viii Womlrrful Ft* ntn of
Iliu * itcl i? uittl JukVH'ik.
There Is always an abundant supply
of stories of the expertness of Hindoo
Jugglers uud acrobats. Due who moves
about perched upon a Mingle long stick
Is remarkably clever. This performer
Is mounted on a bamboo pule about fif
teen feet high, the top of which is tle<l
to a girdle around his waist. A small
cushion is .fastened a few feet down
the pole, which acts as a leg rest. The
acrobat hops around a large space In
the liveliest way, uttering cheerful
shouts and accompanied by the tappiug
of a curious drum. He also executes a
sort of dance and goes through a little
pantomime. It is a marvelous feat of
equilibrium. To walk on a pair of
stilts as high as this would be a per
formance worthy of comment, but to
hop around on one Is quite another j
thing.
The same man can do many other |
wonderful things. He appears abso- 1
lutely perfect In the art of balancing. ;
He can balance a very light stick on
his uose and a heavy one on his chhj,
and then throw the heavy one Into
the air and catch It on the end of the
light one. When balancing these two
sticks, end* on end. he will make one
revolve In one direction and the other
the reverse. He puts one hand on a
flat, circular stone, throws his feet up
Into the air nnd balances a stick on
each of them. At the same time- he
revolves rapidly on the pivot formed by
hla arm and the stone.
THE MAHOGANY TREE.
It Frequently Spriu^x From the Crev
leen of Great Rocks.
The tree which produces that beau
tiful and well known wood, mahogany.
Is one of the most elegant, If not the
largest, of the country In which It is
found and frequently grows In the
crevices of rocks. The appearance of
so largo n vegetable production In such
a sltuatlou Is extremely curious and
picturesque and is to be accounted for
from the construction of the seed,
which Is like that of the thistle,
winged, or capable of being borne
along by the action of the air and In
that manner deposited In holes and
fissures In the rocks, where It speedily
vegetates and springs up. As long as
the plant remains young the place In
which It is found Is sufficiently large
for Its growth, but as It Increases In
sl^e the roots .gradually but Irresistibly
force asunder the walls of their rocky
prisons and throw off large portions of
stone. ^
It Is not always, however, found In
these situations, the largest timber be
ing produced In some of the flat anp
marshy spots on the coast of America.
Such Is the Honduras mahogany, which
Is much looser In texture and of less
value than that from the mountainous
districts of Cuba and Haiti. This last
kind Is known In commerce as Spanish
mahogany and Is chiefly purcllased for
the DUTDOse of belnir cut Into vectors

The Influence of the Farm*
The farm Is the best security we
have for our -octal well beliijf, nnd
whatever promotes Interest there,
whatever rai"e> it in intelligence, and
?cleulltlc spirit. Is one of the most
comforting inlliieii. . of our civiliza
tion. And so to have our young men
lmbueil with the true agricultural spir
it, to turn away from the adventures
I of the commercial life and the allure
ments of mere money making to the
simple, productive. Independent life on
the farm. Is one of the richest promises
111 our educational system. For there
Is where it belongs to the expanding
mind force of the nation. The liuest
triumphs of the next fifty years, re
sults tli it will go further than all
other euterpr e In blessing men, will
be won on the fanu. There is a science
of soil culture, and the art that Is to
he based upon It will open, wide the
door to men of thought and refinement.
The answefof the old artist that he
mixed his paint with brains Is aklu to
the experience In the farming of the
future, which will mix brains with the

Hunting the flird of I'nrntllfte.
Inside a queer, birdcage-like wicker
contrivance built high up in a tree the
Aru Islander will watch patiently for
days to get a shot at a bird of paradise,
perhaps the loveliest of nature's crea
tions. ills food is supplied every morn
ing by another native, who remains at
the foot of the tree during the day to
secure any bird which may fall, killed
or stunned. < >nly the adult males, with
long pinnies, are sought after, for were
uot tills the case this beautiful species
would long ago have become extinct.
To secure living specimens the natives
employ an arrow having three prongs
at the end. These prongs are barbed
on the Inside, junl the object Is to shoot
at the legs of the bird, which, when
hit, flutters helplessly to the ground.?

THANKS CUTICURA
FOR COMPLETE CURE
"Some time ago I wrote you for a
book on the Cuticura Remedies and
received it O. K. and went and bought
the Soap, Ointment, and Pills. They did
me more good than any medicine 1 ever
used. They cured me of my skin disease,
and I am very thankful to you. My
trouble was eruption of the skin, which
broke out in spots all over my body,
and caused a continual itching which
nearly drove me wild at times. 1 got
medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure
me, and when I saw in a paper your
iid., I sent to you for the Cuticura book
ana I studied my easo in it. I then
-went to the drug store and bought one
cake of Cuticura Soap, one bor of Cu
ticura Ointment, and one vial of Cuti
cura Pills. From the first application
1 received relief. I used the first set
and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap,
and was ^completely cured. I had
suffered for two years, and I again
thank Cuticura for my cure. If you
wish, you may publish this. Your
