The man who' ‘wrote the question is then culled for, he rises, receives his envelope, unspects it carefully to see that it has not been tam- ' pend with, opens it and displays the l question, which, of course, is the one , ,. just read and answered by the performer. .Now, this seems truly wonderful, but when it is known that the pads are care- fully prepared with a sheet of carbon m concealed inside, some three or four M below the one on which the ques- tion is written, and that the writing plainly with the hard pencil leaves its impression so that all the operator has to ' do when the pads are returned to him is totear 08 the first three or four leaves and read each one of the questions plain~ ly written by the carbor underneath, the ‘ mystery disappears. The name pad is never used twice, and, the attention of the audience being riveted on the envel- opes, which are placed in a hat or basket, the inspection of the pads in not detected oreva thought of. _ ' Anot er favorite trick is to collect a .nnmbsr of watches on a tray, the per- former declaring that the clairvoyant whom he is assisting will rend the num- bersof these watches correctly without looking or handling the timepiece. All that is necessary for the successful per- formance of the trick in the knowledge of one watch on the tray. This watch is supplied by a confederate in the. audience and when the first watch is picked up the number on the inside of the case of the . mfederate’n watch is read ofl, the au- ' tit-Ice is requested to pencil the number m . Mn, and when the watchesnre returned toths owners they are found to be cor- rect in every case, as the possession of the first number enables the performer to up parentiyread it out of allollwr wntch,‘ and when this watch in opcnrd he gets luother number, and no proceeds until the collection is exhausted. ’l‘his unex- plained is one of the moat wmulcrful tricks in second night. Another form of necond sight business is by two performers, usually a male and a female, who will appear upon the stage. The female will be carefully mesmerized. seated in a chair, blindfoldcd and n hood arbor; placed over head: then the assist: ant will pass rapidly through the au- dience and touch articles here and there, while the blindfolded pi-rforiucr calls ofl' the names of them as rapidly as they can be touched. All this is done without ask- lng a single question, in it has been pre- viously arranged that when [pissing through the audience he in in touch a number of articles, a list of which in care fully committed to un-Inory. it always being so managed that articles to be found in every audience nrc flielf‘ltlk'll.

It is impossible to understood, without making a careful study of the umttor, to what extent a series of (mentions may be carried.

Popular prim. - ‘ , .5 LINES or .fg The Chicago Tribune has taken the trouble to“ hunt out the women of the city who are earning a living in the various ways which used to he man’s exclusive property, and it would seem from the result that what women cannot do in the field of employment is much more simple than what she can accom- plish. ' The first on the list is the story of a woman undertaker, who has been in the busines 15 years. Several other women are engaged in the same unuti rnctiveem- ployment. They make their olliccs cosey and homelike with dainty things, hiding the grewsome reality of their work as much as possible, and in most cases are very successful. A dozen different barber shops are con- ducted by women, with women assist- ants, and most of their customers are men. , Women engaged in the art of various degrees of excellence are legion, but now and then one masters the art of photog- raphy, and Chicago has several success- fully employed in this business. One secret of theirsuccess is their appreciation of the fact that photographs must flatter to be quite satisfactory, and another is their winning way of making each man believe he is a perfect Adonis. Dentistry is found to be a lucrative business for a doaeu women, and they express their confidence in woman’s skill in this profession with a great deal of assurance. Many of their patients are children, for by winning their confidence women succeed better than mcu. Miss Sara Steeuberg is an insurance broker, and the only one in Chicago. Another woman is a pension agent, and has been looking after soldiers' pensions for years. Chicago claims morn woulcn lawyers than any other city in the ifnitm, and these number nearly a dozen. The rep- rcnentnlivc woman in the [limit-anion is the wife of a lawyer, and i'Il-npi'l‘lltefi with his firm to such on r‘Vls‘lllv as is customary among lawyers who find it to their advantage to work together. Women in the medical [brilll'h‘hliln are so numerous and Well established that they are accepted as a matter of course in every city. and Chicago has her propon tion. In connection with them are the professional nurses, who are employed in hospitals, mnlturiums. and private fam- ilies: and the demand for teachers in burning schools in a growing our. Physical culture furnishes a wide field for woman's work,and parlors filled with all the appliances of n lll‘nf t'lihV‘ gymna- sium are successfully conducted by wom- en, who direct the, exercises scientifically with specific results from each cmc. The laundry business in not, one which suggests case and pretty surroundings or possible lame, but a great many women in Chicago are making a nil-e living out of if. A few women have ventured into the catcrer's field, and the making of pics, cakes, bread. preserves and jellies is a profitable business for many others. One woman in the suburbs of (‘h cage has a butcher shop and Kiothcr one a milk roulc, and still unollwr carries on the, largo-st coopernge llllaillu'aa in the city.
