After you have stepped around to the rear of the box you manage to light a match, holding It below the table ao that It will not be seen. At the proper time you bring the match In contact with the wreath of smoke ascending through the hole In the box lid. Aa the other half of the lid la tamed up It affords a screen, behind w^irh you may apply the match unseen by those In front of the box. The distance from the point In the smoke wreath when you touch the match to the dp of the candle anuff should not be more than four Inches, as the smoke loses Its density and thins cut the higher It ascends.—New York Mall.

la the Oatrfek S<«»ldr It ha* been stated that the ostrich la so silly that It hide* Its head In the sand, thinking that, because It cannot see. no one will see It. One who has studied oatricbes for several years says that, though this statement is not true, they are Just a* stupid aa If it were true. Their tiny beads areao flat aa to leave scarcely any room for brain, and they have therefore lees Intelligence than even a barnyard fowl baa. Let the man who baa fed an ostrich dally for years come to It In s strange dress and It will not be able to recognise him. A farmer was once assaulted and knocked down by an old bird which be had constantly fed, simply because on this occasion be bad come to It wearing a tall bat. It had never seen him In such beadgear before, took him for. a stranger and was proceeding to maul him to death bat for timely rescue. 1

A gentleman In England bad a pet magpie which, although very tame, would still leave the bouse every spring and go to the woods to build and raise a family, returning-borne again afterward. Wanting a young magpie for a friend, the bird's owner followed bis pet and found Its nest In a lofty gum tree. A boy was aent up the tree. Be came down with a bird and reported that the nest waft all made of wire. HJa assertion being laughed at, be went up again, cut the branch off' and brought the neat down to prove bis words. What be bad said was perfectly true. "Hie n

This handkerchief Is just the thing for yon young magicians to pnaaafs. Get two pretty good stood men's handkerchiefs, both exactly alike. In the middle of one of these cut a silt about four Incbas long, which get your alsler to bom round the edges to prevent its becoming larger. Now ask her to lay one handkerchief upon the other and sew together the edges. If the work Is done neatly the whole will appear to be nothing more than a single handkerchief, especially aa, when you draw It from your pocket, you shake It out with the unprepared aide toward those who are watching you. Now borrow a coin or a card from some one In the sodle&ce. ' Next taking the card In the loft baud, you cover tt with the handkerchief, at the same time slipping it Into the pocket-like arrangement between the two. 80, you see, when you ask some one in the audience to "bold the card covered by the handkerchief, please," and then jerk the whole from his hand the effect will be that the card baa disappeared.

CHICAGO. July 19.—In a light growing out of the meat packers' strike at the Chicago stockyards three men were injured, one fatally. A squad of policemen. summoned on a riot call, finally suppressed the disturbance after considerable difficulty. Four colored strike breakers wenattacked by ■ mob composed of eitecUtors at an amateur baseball game In the vicinity of the stockyards and two white men. one policeman, and the four strike breakers were severely Injured. Three of the Injured un-u artin a serious condition. On tbslr way home the negroes bad to pass the baseball grounds. ‘ As the four workmen approached some one yelled “8e»b!" and Instantly a rash was made for the negroes. Two of the negroes had each a revolver and a knife, and as the mob *tarted for them they drew their weapons. Before they could use them, however. they were knocked to the ground by a dosep white men. One of the negroes named Baker scrambled to his feet and began slashing right and left. Before the knife could be taken away from him he stabbed Jam«n Klely near (he heart, perhaps fatally. Another of the negroes tired Into the crowd, two of the bullets bitting William Durand, one of the attacking-parjy^' This opposition '61 the negroes set the crqwd In ■ frenzy, and had not the police made a quick response the strike breakers would undoubtedly have been killed. Several at the rioters were placed under arrest as also were Wood and Baker. All negotiations for a” settlement of the stockyards strike here are off. . Chicago is In grave fear of the result. To what ends the Irresponsible foreigners and roughs among the strikers and their sympathizer* may go to obtain what they call justice Is a matter of the greatest concern. * Just now there Is fear* that a sympathetic strike involving all the trades at the stockyards will be called. Aside from those already on strike, there are 12.000 men employed at the yards connected with unions Beaten, bruised and slugged Into Insensibility by a dozen men god left for dead on the tracks of the Ashland avenue trolley line at West Forty-sev-enth street, Anton Bartnslakovls. an employee at the Swift Packing plaht. to dying at t,be County hospital. Hto Injuries, in the opinion of Police Inspector Hunt, were Inflicted by strike sympathizers and the wheels of a trolley car. The men. according to a wltoesa who baa talked to the police, set upon Bartuslakovls as he was going home from work. When they could not make him join the strikers, they broke hto skull, fractured hto jaw, kicked him about the face, bead and body and then threw him upon the car tracks. The motorman of a car approaching not long afterward saw the body In Ums to stop the car, but not before the wheels bad crushed Bartnslakovto' shoulder. The Injured man was taken to the County hospital He baa not regained consciousness- Mrs. W. Clifford, attracted to her window by the tonnd of men fighting, saw the attack and declares she can identify several of Bartustokoris' assailants. While a heavy addition to the army of police is massed at the stockyards In readiness for any renewal of rioting and both packers and man ars preparing tbalr forces for a desperate fight to tbs end, the leaders of the striking butebar workman assert that the union to backed by « «1,000,000 fund'to win the great struggle. With botS aides thus watching bach other, the police ars fearful of an outbreak of rioting Mka that of Sunday evening, when aevan men were badly injured. Meat prices continue to advance, and a number of shops have boao forced to dose because they cannot secure men* from the packers. In 'Chicago, the center of the great meat Industry df tbs country, the effect «f the strike to fait moat keenly, with business Interests aggregating 1100000.000 tied up and more than 20400 butchers and workers out ot
