1 JUNK 28, 1888. It ft.. . I'Mltl'Olt.tll'KH. A n t of Hriitlmrnt Indulged In lut 111 fori) Hie lrfiiriiiiinee Hanger llreiidul la More Tlinn llnlf Inrlleit JnpHiirM. Jugglitra. Tho Voltll nlstora are two pretty KiiIIhIj frlrla who do Homo very good trupezo. work One of tliem pcrforuiB a tllvo, lieiul fore most, from tho very top of tlio pronco nlum nrcli, a dizzy height, Into a nut mis ponded Junt nboro tho houds of tho Hpoc ttttow In tho parquet. That Is ono of tho most tlirilllufrly oflectlvo feats over hIiowii hnro In public, but, In point of fact, Is very llttlo If any mora iluiiirorous than a numlwr of thltifra that they do toguthor on tho trapozo boforo that llnalo. so long an tho performer comes down Into tho not thorn need ba no fear Tlioro Is moro dafigcr In tho breaking of a tightly Ntralnod irny wlro at a critical moment, by which the trapnzo might bo violently Jorkud out of plnco und tho performer thrown off, awuy oiiliilrio of tho net, to fall upon tho bttcKHof tho orchestra clmlrs and bo picked up a maun of broken liones and mamtlod lloh, porlianit dend. To gunrd Bgiilnat thin in fur at posnlblo tho irrontost caro Is oxorclaod In tho Htrotch Inif of tho wlro and ropo kuvh, which If) all irono over and examined boforo iwh performauco. Thin, with tho ntrotchliitf of tho not, takes mivornl uiliiutoH, a hit ok m:.nh.mi:.nt. Whtlo theso thlngH are bolnjr dono tho two Hlators stand waiting lu tho 1 1 rut cm trance, on tho "prompt" sltloof tho otago, with big cloaks draped about their Hcalit lly clad forms, and their mother close lxi hind thorn. When tho Nlgnal Is given that nil Is ready, tlio mother draws off their cloaks. Then tho two girls emhracn and kiss each othnr'H linnilrt After that thoy dint nut on thu stage, and it moment later they arc up In tho nlr risking tholr necks, If that little bit of Heutlmental business were dono lu public, It would bo understood oh it tawdry conceit for effect, llko many other things In which gym mists and acrobats Indulge, with a view to Impressing the Kxx:tatorH. Hut It Id not. The embracing and kissing aro nil done "In tho wings," whom It Is only by accident that a person near tho footlights In tho parquet on tho oppo Kilo Hide of the stage may percliaiico see It. Tho general disposition to uscrlbo to superstition of some sort tlio motive 1m polling people to do somewhat unusual things naturally suggests that us it reason for the Valill girls' demonstration, Dut upon luiulry It Is learned that this In prompted by simple itlfectlon, nothing moro. Knelt knows that It Is well within tho range of possibilities that tho slipping of her baud, tho failure by n hulr s breadth of tho others grasp or it break of tho up parnttis may can mo her slstrr's plunge to death, or that that fnto may bo her own, within tho next fow minutes. With that finding in mind, tlio hand clasps, embrace and kisses between tlio girls aro simply it tenderer demonstration of tho Impulse tint prompts rouirtides, when going Into battle, to shako hands silently. It may bo for tho last time, and they know It. There Is llttlo suHtrstltlou among tho limb and life venturing classes of publlo performers, far lest tliuu exists among people lu tho histrionic profession. Whether It Is that the vigorous life of tho former develops it mom healthful and con sequently sounder philosophy, or that their training has drilled them Into n higher confidence In themselves and np preclatlon of tho K)sslbllltle.t of human control over what weaker lutures deem fate and luck, need not bo discussed hero. Tho fact Is enough for present consider Hon Of course there aro exceptions to this, us to every other rule, but even when they do occur they uro not violent, and generally have some pretty fair rou sou back of tlio seeming sUorstltloii al leged. Muttlo Jackson, for Instance, will not rldo lu tho circus ring on dotal 1'rl day She ttvows it fear that somn accl dent will happen to her If she does, as one did once upon it time when she broke tho rule, or perhaps More she made It. Hut the fact Is that sho has a vague Idea that .It Isn't right. And several other well known riders have the name notion. A. UANUIUI llllUUIKll. i It Indeed appears that tho dread of hav ing it superstition U moro rife among circus people than any superstition Is, for tho excellent reason that they know a danger dreaded Is moro than half invited A man whoso nerves uro to tho slightest degreo unstrung by expectancy of accident Is likely to ivallxo his expectation whe'i attempting some feat that demands nil the utrengtli, skill, cooluets und ncrvo that ho possesses Very often it rider's jHrform anew Is made timid mid measurably lu olTiwtlvu simply by it griHun's report to lilm that his horse "does not seem to 1m feellni? all rleht " Thero is no suivrstition ubout that, but acouscloukuesstiutt If tho lioro Is not "all right" and up to good n itiMiibriiiieotiiul observance of Ids training, the breaking of Ids rider's leg. or perhaps his niH'k, may Ih the iniiMiuitnre. It may hardly Is.) fair to classify as superstitious tho practice of carrying xi tnU.ert or liorso eheitiiuts In tho pockets us fetiche ajralust rheumatism.

While a number of convicts woro en gaged In games of hazard In the corridor, most of those In tho rooms woro absorbed in another occupation. Heavy metallic strokes rang through tho prison, tho fall Ing of chains upon tho floor could bo heard from time to time, hut tlioiiolRodlHttirlxJ nobody, neither thoso who were fa: asleep In tho same rooms nor the c, i inaiidlng ollieer or tho soldiers who sb , lu tho same building.

Thus tho chains could bo c.i iled on tho soldier or around the wul Instead of around tho legs, and wulkl.i was much easier. Of courso, tho soldiers and their con mntider know well what tho metal! sounds meant, but they did not airo to In torfero. Some of tho escort ofllcers wei good natured men, und puld no attention to thoso "llttlo transgressions" of the law; others woro strict and rigid, not tolerating any such liberties on tho part of tho convicts, and us tho latter had n marvelous ability for "sizing up" their rommandors, they marched ono day with tho chains around their legs and another with tho chains uround their waists. .Many of tho convicts managvd to throw off tho chains even from their arm.
