Here is a favorite trick explained. It
Is merely a simple chemical action, but
If. tbe trick la carefully performed a
good deal can be made out of it
Take two large glasses and flit one
with the solution representing Ink and
the other with the solution represent
ing wafer.
Then cover these two glasses with
colored handkerchiefs, and. taking a
pistol and firing It command the Ink
and water to change places. On lift
ing the handkerchiefs It Is found that
this has been done, and the glass con
taining water now holds Ink, and vice
versa.
This chemical change can bo brought
about In several different ways, but
ohe, the best, is as follows:
Pill both the glasses with ordinary
water, adding to one a small quantity
of granulated sulphate of Iron, together
with a very small quantity of tannin.
ber that last spring-A;sident\Biib<e-
velt brought home from his western
trip a little badger which was given
him by a little Kansas girl.
The badger was named jostah and
became a favorite pet of tbe Roosevelt
children. He spent the summer with
them at Oyster Bay and'might have
remained an indefinite time if he had
kept up being as playful aad harmless
as he started out to be.
But, alas, he developed an ngly tem
per and showed his teeth, and It was
decided that he could not be retained
in the president’s household.
So he was given to a New York 100,
and there he Is today.

Messrs. Atkinson and Simpson have
purchased an interest with Sasser and
Vick, and the two stocks have been con
solidated. The new firm will do busi
ness in the large store house formerly'
occupied by J. N. Carter. This union
makes a stirring team. The firm name
will be The Atkinson Mercantile Co.
This forms the ink
In tbe other glass dissolve a small
quantity of the graulated sulphate of
iron only. This will leave a perfectly
transparent liquid resembling water.
The trick Is now ready to be per
formed, and all the performer has to do
Is to drop a pinch of tannin in the liq
uid resembling water while be is cov
ering tbe glass with the colored hand
kerchiefs and a pinch of powdered
oxalic acid into tbe liquid resembling
the ink.
The performer should contrive to give
both glasses n shake if possible and to
leave them covered up for a few sec
onds to allow the chemical change to
work.

More country butter has been bronght

than ever before. That means that the
people have plenty meat backbone and
'tatoes, and don’t eat butter now. A

The Game of Langh.
The game of laugh is new and very
funny if a large number plays. The
one who is “It” points his finger to
some one and says, “Laugh I” The one
Indicated must say, “Hal” If he smiles,
be must pay a forfeit, or If any one
else shows signs of merriment he must
do the same. The next one pointed at
must say, “Ha, ha!” the next, “Ha, ha,
ha!” and so on as far as it Is possi
ble. If the right nnmber of “Ha’sC is
not said, a forfeit must be paid. It is
very bard to keep from laughing, and
the game usually ends with a hearty
laugh from all.
Tbe Partrldffe and tbe Monkey-
The partridge, passing down the
street, came across the tailor monkey,
who was engaged on some work for
one of his customers.
“How are you getting along?” asked
the partridge.
“Oh, Just 8o-sol” replied the tailor
monkey.
“Sew-so ?” inquired the partridge.
“Yes, sew-so and so-so, too,” answer
ed the good natured monkey as he took
another stitch In tbe cloth.
“Do you find the work hard?” in
quired the partridge.
“Yes, but I have little ideas that help
replied the monkey.
The patrons of the Conter Hill school
where this deponent has been hearing
lessons for several years, are to be com
mended for their promptness and will
ingness to make the change in school
books. All acted with one accord. At
the same time, and almost in a day the:
change was made, and the school is in -
fine condition. They are a fine set of :
patrons.

The house belongs to me N

My pa and ma to tea.
'“Now. ma'am,” I say, “don’t let mn

Your cup of tea too sweet;
And, doctor, take a piece of cake;
It's from a new receipt.” >
Then pa replies: "My dear Miss Brown.
Your cake is always nice.
You make the very best In town;
I'll have another slice!”
Then mamma asks what luck I had
With my last raspberry Jam.
And papa says he should be glad
To try my cold boiled ham.

“For instance, I hold the thread on my
toe to keep It from getting tangled.”
“TOto?” asked the partridge,
“Yes, toto and toe to too.”
“You have a noose in the thread
now.”
“No, that is a knot, not noose.”
“Not-not?”
“Yes, not not and knot not also.”
“Did you know I was a punsteM”
“Did I know? No.”
“No-no?”^ *
“No; no no-no. Know? No.” \
And then tbe two started laughing,
and they laughed so heartily over their
word twister* that it broke up the
whole day's work of tbe tailor monkey.
