Reduced by the Railway Commission. caren The railway commission Monday, at regarding express rates by issuing wo Wi circulars. The first is as follows: - “The maximum charge per 100 pounds over 1 mile and not over 25 miles on shipments of classified mer- chandise and classes B, C, and D, shall not exceed 30 cents.” This a reduction of 10 cents. The second circular is as follows: “On all shipments cf freight originat- ing and terminating in this State which shall pass over the whole or portions of two or more roads not under the same control, the maximum rates charged shall not be greater than the sums of the local rates on such freight less 10 per cent, for the distance hauled over each road.” A Curious Oath. The following curious vath was un- til recently administered in the courts of the isle of Man: “By this book, and the holy contents thereof, and by the woncerful works that God has mir- aculously wrought in heaven and_ the earth beneath in six days and seven nights, I do swear that I will, without respect of favor or friendship, love or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or malice, execute the laws of this isle, and between party and party as indifferent- ly as a herrin’s back bone doth lie in the middle of the fish.” A Few Tongue-Twisters. Most of you probably are the posses- sors cfa limber tongue; but if you want some good exercise for it just try to repeat these sentences rapidly seve- ral times in succession. You can also derive a great deal of fun getting your friends to do the same : Six little thistle sticks. Flesh cf freshly-tried fish. ‘Iwo toads totally tired, tried to trot to Tedbury.

His Accomplice in a Trick Did Not Live Up to His Agreement, An illusicnist was talking the other day of some of the accidents that some- times spoil the art of the conjurer. “Tt was in Nashville, Tenn.,” he said, “that I experienced a real knock-down hiow. I was performing the well- known trick of passing a marked coin into the center of an uncut orange. At least, that’s what a good many people thought I was doing. I used a silver dollar and emphasized the trick by passing the coin into the pocket of some boy whom I had enticed on to the stage. I will openly confess that the boy had to be a confederate and that the marked coin had its fellow in cne previously prepared by me. One night as 1 was entering the theater, I looked around for a likely youth to aid me in mv double dealing. I picked a boy and promised to pass him in if he would follow. my instructions. “‘T am a -conjurer,’ I said. ‘I want yon to put this dollar in your right- hand trousers pocket. I'll get you a seat in the front row. When I ask for somebody to come on the stage you must come. Then I will ask you to produce the dollar.’ “The boy promised everything, and, after making arrangements for him at the door, I left him. When I was ready for the dollar trick, I saw my young confederate sitting open-mouthed in the front row. I had prevailed upon another member of the audience to lend me a dollar marked exactly as was that I had given to the boy. “I passed that borrowed dollar into the orange, cut the fruit open and out dropped the coin. Then 1] wenton: “*And now, ladies and gentlemen, I will perform a still more «dittcult feat. TI have passed the dollar into the orange. Now I will ask some member of the au- dience to step on the stage, and, with- out going anywhere near him, I will pass the same dollar, marked as you have seen, into the righthand trousers pocket,’ “True to his bargain, the boy dacged to the stage, I stepped opposite himand asled: “ ‘Now, sir, have you ever seen ine be- fore?’ | ‘No, sit,’ was theanswer. “*T have here a dollar,’ I continued. ‘I am going ‘to pass it into your right- hand trousers pocket. One~two— three—go!’ “I made the proper magician’s pass, and smiled upon my audience. “ ‘Now,’ I said to my assistant, ‘put your hand into your right-hand troue sers pockct, and give me the dollar.’ “The boy looked a bit sheepish, but |. he dived his fist.down, Then, to my. unutterable horror, he produced. a handful of silver and said: sir,’ ye Awkward “What. you say ray 4 db Schmidie, | the merchant, has gone blind?)
