SAND BAGS IN THE SICK ROOM.
american Cultivat0r.)

One of the most convenient articles 70
be used in the sick room is q sand bag.
Get,some clean, fine sand, dry it thor
oughly in kettle on the stove, make o
bag about eight inches square, of dan
mel, FIJI it with the dry sand, sew the
opening carefully together and cover
the bag with cotton or linen cloth. This
will prevent the sand from sitting out,
and will also enable you to heat the
bag quickly by placing it in the oven,
or even on the top Of the stove. After
once using this you will never again at.
tempt to warm the feet or hands of o
sick person with bottle of hot water or
brick. The sand holds the heat long
time, and the bag can be tucked up to
the back without hurting the invalid.
1t is good plan to make two or three
of the bags and keep them ready for

Herrmann's bird trick, which has de
lighted and mystifed many audiences,
is thus explained by one who claims to
have solved the riddle: The reader will
remember that 9 small glass box, about
four by nine inches, was exhibited, con
tanning number Of canariss. This was
placed on the side table and d care Of
ordinary size and appearance was passed
among the audience, who were thus en-
abled to see that IL was ''perfectly
empty Tho cage was then suspended
from two wires, which were fastened To
q couple Of upright brass rods fixed in
the centre table. Two large silk pocket
handkerchief were placed over cage
and box, and Hermann, standing ut
the small table, fred a pistol, instantly
Withdrew the pocket handkerchiefs, ana
showed the glass box empty and the
cage full of canaries For q long time
1t is said this trick was q puzzler, but
the following was found to be it's ex-
PLANTATION The ordinary looking cage
had in reality . false top, or rather I.
false bottom to the top. The roof Of the
cage was peaked, and between It's ridge
and the bottom of the caves was what
may be called garnet. Before being
brought on the stage the same number Of
canaries were therein confined AZ the box
contained. The wires which held the
cage suspended were connected with q
battery outside. The glass box was also
peculiarly constructed. The sides were
secured by brass mitre joints, but the
bottom and top were held together by
wires concealed by these joints, ard
could at will he slid down until The ton
formed the bottom, and the bottom,
hung below, sustained by the corner
wires, like the standard of what.notI
When the box is placed on the table Il
rests on spring trap, and the moment
the pistol is fred Hermann presses the
the spring, the trap descends, with it
falls the sliding top and bottom of tho
box, ana the caEaries are thus forced
out Of their quarters. The spring is re-
lieved, the box receives again its ton
and bottom in their places, and the CO.
naries are left in the table. Co.instan.
taneonsly with this mannuvre tho
watchful attendant presses the bottom
Of the battery, tho floor Of the stage
"garret" gives way, and the released
birds flutter down into the cage.

There is strange rumbling noise au-
dIble upon the Red river, Texas, and as
the locality is fifty miles from any rail-
road it cannot be attributed to passing
trains. The inhabitants are much ex-
cited over it, believing that it presages
volcanic action. 1t resembles the sound
ola railway train, the roar of distant
waterfall, and ut night the moaning of
the wind through pine forest. Its
range, which is not changeable, is from
north to northwest, and it recalls the
ominous sounds described by Humboldt
as preceding the great earthquake of
1859 in Mexico, when the volcanic noun
tain Of Jorulio was upheaved. Scientific
investigation will probably be ordered
by the State authorities.
