Bells OF Christmas soon will chime,
And their tuneful notes will fly
From the steeples white with rime
To the clear Star-froSted sky.
Soon the organ pipes will blow
Strains triumphant, loud and long,
And the happy choir arrow
Fill the whispering church with song.
Soon the pungent scent OF pine
VIII perfume the chilly hall,
Holly sprays and cedar Irvine
Precious pictures on the wall.
Soon the Christmas fires will flare
With consciousness OF light,
And home windows everywhere
Flood with golden mist the night.
Christmas bells, prepare to ring,
Let us have joyful time,
From your lofty rafters swing
Till the angels hear you chime.
Cricket on the poor mans hearth,

That shall sing OF JOY on eaTGn
Till his heart with laughter fill

With the children In their glee,
And when midnigh hit hour shall fare
Out each lamp Of heaven blow,
And in silence fill the air

with lock. One way in which it is often used
| is for the magician to borrow a watch, have one
| person put the watch in the box, and lock it.
| taking the key The magician hands it to another
person to hold. "DO you hear the watch tick
ing?" the magician will ask. and the person
holding the box will hear it distinctly by put
ting his ear to the LID. Finally the watch ap-
pears around pigeons neck. or hanging to q
chair back, after pistol has been fired, or one
OF many ways, according to the fancy of the
magician. One end Of the little box swings out
on pivots when released from its catch by
sharp pressure at one end Of the bottom. 1t can
readily be manipulated with one hand. so that
in the interval between the depositing Of the
watch and the handing of the box to some one
to hold the watch slips out into the magician's
hand and a watch movement hidden in the lid
of the box keeps up deceptive ticking. Such
box sells for $12.
The Indian box trick, which is a favorite piece
with magicians, is just as simple. In this a big
gentlemen are invited to examine it. They find
an empty box. as roughly made as q packing
case. The nails seem to run through the cor
ners. the ends clinched into the wood. The ma
gician's assistant is put i'm bag Its end is tied
up and sealed. The box is tied round and
round with a rope as well as locked. The
bagged-up man is laid on the tied-up box. and
a screen Is drawn in front for q short time.
When the screen is drawn back the empty bag
is seen with unbroken seal lying on the box.
WHICH, ITO COfuS are uHtleO anu the LOCK Is
opened, is found to contain the man. The only
difficulty Is the bag part. There must be two
bags. one within another. The junction Of their
mouths is concealed by the magician, who with
great show of zeal ties the mouths with his
hand kerchief at that portion, and then invites
the committee to tie and seal the protruding
ends of a bag which is really alongside OF his
assistant inside another bag confined simply by
the handkerchief. The nails Of the box are
shams at one end, being simply heads and points
which do not meet. The end swings in like q
trap door when properly manipulated. the assis-
tanf lays the sealed-up bag on top OF the box,
