PARLOR MAGIC.

Borrow a Panama hat, the
more expensive the better, and
hold it mp so that your audience
can see that it does not contain
either a savings bank or a white !
whale. You then procure an or.
dinary kerosene lamp, remove the
shade and light the wick. You
are now ready. Pass the hat five
or six times over the light, or un'
til it is a complete blaze then
quickly placing the hat in a box
into which you have previously
deposited two pounds OF common
gunpowder-the hat and box will
instantly disappear. This trick
fails TO astonish.
A very amusing, although ex-
citing trick, is 10 cause q person
in the audience to start from his
seat without the aid of machinery,
bent pins, or the placing of hands.
This feat requires a little prepa-
ration during the day, as will be
seen. You open s. book and pre-
tend to read as if from its con
tents, and Immediately a young
LADY in the audience will start to.
ward you with Shrek, and ifyou
are wise you will have a rear win
dow open, through which you can
pass. The secret of the trick con-
sists in your reading a purloined
letter of your sisters from her
lover. -......
Lay a wager with some gen
tleman in front Of you that he can
not walk to within three feet Of
you without pausiug and throw
ing back his head, assuring him
that the floor will not be obstruct-
ed in any manner. This trick
never fails, and its success de.
pends upon having well-waxed
thread stretched icross the room
ct the height of the gcntleman's
throat. Do not attempt this with
your father.
A good conclusion to an even
ine's entertainment Of this kind is
called "Dissolving Feat" in which
you turn out the gas for sixty
seconds, and on lighting 1t the
room will be vacated of all but
yourself. The moment the gas is
turned out you produce from q
hermetically sealed box about
u pound of Limberger cheese. The
} effect is wonderful, especially i
the evening be very warm.

quite nccesse"y for you to have
complete and perfect rest for some

it in nursing that old uncle in the

in the morning, and have conse'
quently not had a good nights

on the first degree by officers of Seneca
Lodge of Milton, and on the second and
third degrees by MacDonough Lodge-the
work being rendered on actual candidates
and subject TO the criticisms and corrections
OF the grand officers present. 1t was con-
sidered well and correctly done and in accord
ance with the standard adopted by the
Grand Lodge The object, in fact, OF the
district meetings now annually held through
out the State is TO bring about q
uniformity of work, and this end is being &C
complished. At about 8 p. m, after the
close of the lodge labors, W. NJ. {. 5. Pal
mer in behalf of McDonough lodge invited
all present to partake of a supper in the town
hall underneath the lodge room. The guests
there found three long tables laden with lux
uries and substantials, to which right ample
Masonic justice was done. There was no
speech-making, but several hours were pleas
antly passed in social intercourse, interspersed
with some excellent vocal music. The occa
sion was very agreeable one and was great
ly enjoyed by all present. The following
Grand officers were present: l.. {. Butler
