He told it with great warmth and with such an air of truth that it would be hard to believe that he had fabricated it. The story, about the way he used to tell it, was thin: , "I got my memory back and a bul let on the tongue in a jiffy. Yes, sir, a jiffy.

McLennan, in his paper on "The Worship of Plants and Ani show many indications of animal worship r. lr.ong the Israelites, which must have lasted for ages before the prohibition inculcated in the second line of thedecalogue was formulated. At a comparative late date "Jehovah was worshiped under the popular symbol of a bull, while the 12 oxen upholding the laver in Solomon's t,, n waII nn th bnma nrWr,. ing the altar were (lrawn from tlie 1 prevalent bull worship." Modern research has also proved that the cherubim were represented in the j form of winged bulls. M.

A trick in which a sword is appar ently passed through a person's ab domen is explained as follows : The sword employed is a thin, flexi ble, dull blade. The prestidigitator, whose body the sword will simply pass around, but not pierce, carries concealed beneath his vest a sheath that consists of a hollow tube, semi circular in shape, the two extremities of which are bent in contrary direc tions in such a way that they are situated in the same straight line, tho two orifices opening in front and be hind at right angles with the abdo men. .. This tube runs around the farther side of the man, who, appear ing instinctively to grasp the point of the sword as if to protect himself, directs it into the metallic tube. The flexible sword makes its exit between the tails of the coat. It is necessary to operate rapidly, so that the spec tators shall not have time to see that the length of the sword has dimin ished, the curved line that it follows not being tho shortest passage from one point to another. Cincinnati En quirer. ' A Deaf IVlan at the Opera. - When opera was running in New York, there was no more attentive member of the audience than a slight, fair man, who was perfect in dress and had a pleasant . suavity of manner. He was always present with his wife, but it was noticed that they rarely talked together, and he never seemed to take offense, as so many of the audience used to do, at the talking and laughter in the boxes. He was stone deaf. He en joyed color and dancing and pictur esque groupings, and he went to the opera to see it. He could sometimes get the gist of a sentence by watch ing the lips of a speaker," but he had not even that comfort at operas where the .-singing was! done in tiei--man and Italian. --New York Sun.
