position, nearly in the same terms as in
the case of the thumbs. All the slack of
the binding of one wrist is added to that
Of the other, 80 as to permit of the with
drawal of one hand. That being
achieved, everything else is as casy as
eating; but in order to accomplish this
feat, the ends OF the rope must be tied
to the legs or ronnds, so as to afford the
necessary leverage.
If the spirits really united the hands
it would not be necessary to secure the
ends of tho rope in this way, thing
always insisted upon by the pretended
mediums, under pretense of securing
themselves moro tightly than if the
hands were simply bound and suffered
to rest on the lap. DR.. Wright then
performed all the tricks in the light,
showing how the hands could be with
drawn and replaced as easily as putting
on and off an old pair OF gloves, by
economizing the slack and using the
leverage afforded by tying the rope ends
to the chair rounds.
The Emmerson trick was next exposed.
The Doctor retired behind his screen,
tied himself up with a whole clothes
limo, tied his legs, tied his hands, tied
his body to chair 80 that he could do
nothing but sit, and then called for some
one to help him on the stage. The key
to the trick was in the wrists and the
slack, the same principle as before illus
trated, the legs drawn up or stretched
out, afording more or less leverage, and
making the wrist loops appear more or
less tightly drawn.
These principles underlie the Daven-
port Brothers tricks in the cabinet;
they underlie the guitar and music in
the air business. In oil cases the medi-
um frees himself, and then he can per-
form any trick on the stage. The guitar,
daubed with phosphorus, is sent flying
about ovor the heads of the audience,
and drawn back to the medium by an
elastic cord, like boys return ball;
the position of his feet, marked on paper
to detect any movement, is assured by
the use of little paste on the soles of
his shoes. The lecturer, in conclusion,
showed up the whole medium business
as humbug OF the first water, and en-
tertained the company gathered to see
his illustrations for over three hours,
and finally sent them away we'll pleased
with the entertainment, except few
who still shook their wise heads and
doubted.

FRUIT-GRAFTING.

As the time will soon be here when grating will
be in order, we repeat our former advice that every
farmer should do his own grating. 1t is a very
easy operation when once understood, and this is
readily done by seeing it done. A sharp penknife
and Il good fine saw are indispensable. Splitting
the stalk that the bark shall not be bruised-and
shaping the scion wedgc-lashion both ways, pre-
serving also the bark uniniured-and placing the
RIM OF the wood of both stock and scion exactly to-
gethef so that the sap ntermingle--there is no
danger OF failure if properly waXed We make n
shoulder to the graft and think il adds TO the GER
tanty of success, though it probably weakens if.
We prefer also two eyes or buds to a graft and
would rather have only one than more than two
one years wood should always be used when if
can be obtained as it is more certain to take and
grows more vigorously.
We WISH TO remind those preparing grating wax,
that we have found four parts of rosin one part of
proportions. Melt them together in skillet (Which
remain in n vessel and be used as needed Twenty
or thirty scions can be waXed with one heating M.
When much grating is to be done, little fire for
heating the wax should be made on the spot, be-
tween two bricks or stones.
We have seen various preparations for making
grating wax and believe we have tried them Mi
but prefer our own. Applying it warm or hot
does no injury to the graft. The object to attain in
the proportion is that the wax will not crack in
cool dry weather, or run in warm weather. IT,
however, upon trial, different portions be required
the foregoing can be altered, though after trying
them in several ways, we have come back to those

HOW THE SQUIRE REvENGED HIMSELF

The squire had friend to visit him on bl-
smcss, and was very much annoyed to be in
terrupted by his wife, who came to ask what
he wanted for dinner
"Go away! let us alone!" impatiently said
the Squire.
Business detained the friend until after din
ner time, and the Squire urged him to remain
The Squire was a generous provder, proud
of his table, and he compacently escorted
his friend to q seat. A little to the surprise
of both they saw nothing on the board but a
huge dish of salad, which the good wife be-
gan quietly to dish up.
my DEAR said the Squire, "where are
the meats"
There are none to day." said his lady.
'No meats? What in the name of poverty?
The vegetables then. Why don't you have
them brought n?''
You didn't order any,
s'Order! | didn't order anything" said
the amazed Squire.
"You forget" coolly answered the house.

you said, lettuce alone Here it is''
The friend burst into a laugh. and the
Squire, after looking lugubrious q moment,
Joined in.
"Wife, give it up. owe you one Here
is that fifty dollars you wanted tor that car
pet which denied you.' The Squire torked
over ''IIow let us have peace and some din
ner."
The good woman pockcted the paper, rung
the bell, and sumptuous repast of fish, poul-
try and vegetables was brought in
A few days afterward the Squire remained
working in the garden later than the usual tea
hour. His wife grew impatient of delay, and
went to find him. His excuse when asked
what he was waiting for, threw her into a
t1utter of excitement.
"Some ones to come to SUPPER she ex-
claimed.
.'Why don't you tell me? declare you are
the provokingest of men,
And without asking which of his friends
was expected, she fastened to change her
dress and slick up her hair for the occasion.
This done, she came out and found the
Squire seated at the table reading the news
paper.
'Wheres your company
"Nly company! haven't any company"
"But you said you expected somebody to
SUPPER" exclaimed the Indignant wife.
''My dear, l said no such thing You ask
ed me what was waiting for, and said sum
mons to come to supper-that's what was
waiting for my dear and came at once"
"And you have made me go and change

The YEARS.

What do I owe the years, that should bring
Green leaves to crown them king?
Blown, barren sands, the thistle and the brier;
Dead love. aud Knocked desire,
And sorrow, vast and pitiless as the sea-
These are their gifts to me.
What do owe the years, that should love
And sing the praise thereof?
Perhaps the lark's clear carol wakes with morn.
And winds, amid the corn.
Clash fairy cymbals; but miss the joys,
Missing the tender voice
Sweet as a throstles after April rain
That may not sing again.
What do / owe the years, that l should greet
Their bitter and not sweet,
With wine, and wit, and laughter: Rather thrust
The wine cup to the dust!
What have they brought to me, these many years
Silence and bitter tears.
