Walla iv tba midst of an animated relig'onfl dißOQßslon a native Sikh, or leader, appeared followed by two attendants. The Sikh «r».a the ■or»nnleit, most o DSimptivd-looking ■peolmen lerer saw. He w»a hollow-eyed and tallow, and wore no o.othes except a turban and a aoanty. waist-oloth. The attandacti leemed to be eoj sying batter hoiUh, and each carried a large bontiie of : bamboo pole<r, tied round the middle *tth a bit of re pe. : " (Ihat fellow, aaid our hoi^, 'li a : sleigh*-jt-btjrid mau, or jangler,j and if yon wlib be will perform some feetr that will aatoniih yon.'

- "We s'gnifiod obt desire to be Mton Uhed, wherenpon the host i^nalled the juggler to go ahead with hli show, And I muit say it wrt the moit mirrelloai »ffite ;- of the kind lever saw.

As far ac we oould see, the entire ovtfit consisted of those bamboo pole*. They bad absolutely .nottlge meahanlam or paraphernalia em ployed by the.civilised oonjurer. " The 81kb stood mutely by with folded arms while hit helpers went to work with the poles, and in a remarkably short apace of time produoed a light jointed ladder at least eighty feet long, with rnnga one footaptrt. When tho ladder was finished, it w*s laid fit on tbe ground, tbe two helpers:taking their place at one end and : tbe Sikh at the other. Removing his turban, the juggler,' ■ who w&b at tbe bottom of t'io ladder, stood with bia heck on the grouad, aad with tho balls of his ;feet renting en the extreme ends of the ledder. Then the helpers raised the other end o: the ladder, and moved rapidly towards thsir chief, raising the laddf-r up wiih their hat.ds as the; came In this nssoner the ladder was placed in a perpendicular position ut the Sikh's feet. "Then the atiaudints withdrew a short dUtacoa aad Bit apon the ground, hum mlng a low, monotouons cha; t, t> the ffiUßlo of whioh the jugglur si)wly mounted the ladder, oalanctng It as ha went. Keeping his eyas fixed on the top, he mounted step by step, removing each rang with bis tooa ss hs olimbed, and tnoking them- under his armi.

Tbe oscillations at first were terrible, but, the Sikh bad wonderful control ot his legs, and, grada allf VdeoreMlng the swsylng motion, he finally stood motionless as a otstne nt that dfzzy height. Then st a given signal, which .we didn't ace, the atteadan s, jainped dp and removed tbe two poleß. laying them oarefally on the groaad; « 4 "1 turned to onr kost tpeeobless with. amazement, but he only smiled and can . itooed me to be silent, pointing at the I same time to the juggler, still standing I . motion'eßß eighty teet in tbe air i bad ■een some juggling myself, but never any .

FIRE ALARMS

f Two alarms of fire within forty-eight hours, just at the time when , water is worth a good ■ deal and cannot be procured for love or. money. It is a str&nge concidence that for while the reservoir was overflowing and the channel running full, the fie beU never, gave a single clang, and the only use fcr the engines was to afford practice to the tricade.' But just so soon as a real scarcity .of water occurs the bells begin to scream out their ghoul like alarms. In-both the alarms of Saturday and this afternoon there was noth ing to fear very much as it happened. The Saturday's fire consumed about half an acre of broom, gorse, and toi-toi in the river bed, and wai confined to that spoc by the strenuous efforts of a large number of young men with branches of broom used as whippers. The fire this afcerooon was of a similar nature and took its rise in a triangular paadock st the junction of Seafield Road with the road leading down to Smith's gardens^ No very serious damage was <l:>:i?, a.i .o-r,..r.. •>pne time it.was reported i.hisi !>.:!.p:i; !■ "ijouse was the scene of the fire• On both occasions the Brigade tuned out- with,!.the steam yiengine,bbut,t t , their services, except on the second occasion, could not be availed of ( owing to the want of water,
