Nagiea! Illusions.

To melt lead in piece of paper
wrap up a smooth ball of lead in paper,
taking care that there be no wrinkles
in it, and that it be everywhere in con
tact with the ball; if it be held in this
state over the flame of a taper the lead
Will be melted without the paper being
burnt The lead, indeed, being once
fused, will not fail, in a short time, to
pierce the paper and run through.
Take glass bottle; put into it some
volatile alkali, in which have been dis
solved copper filings, which Will pro-
duce blue color, looking like liquid
of some kind Ask some one to cork it
while indulging in some pleasantly,
and then call the attention of the com
pany to the liquid, when, to their aston
ishment, they Will find that the suppos-
ed liquid has disappeared as soon as it
was corked. You can cause it to reap
pear by simply taking out the stopper,
and this change Will appear equally as
tonishing.
4 very funny trick is done in this way
at a very little expense. Put into a
crucible four ounces of bismuth, and,
when in a state of fusion, throw in two
ounces and half of lead and one ounce
and half of tin. These medicines Will
combine, forming an alloy, fusible in
boiling water Mold the alloy into bars
and take them to a siIversmith to be
made into teaspoons. Give one to a
stranger to stir his tea. As soon as the
spoon touches the hot tea it Will melt
in his fingers, causing a great deal OF
merriment.
To make bird seem as dead take any
bird out of the cage and lay it on the
table and wave a small feather over its
eyes. 1t viii appear as dead; but di-
rectly you take the feather away it will
revive again. Let it lay hold of the
stem part of the feather with its feet and
it VIII twist and turn about like a par
rot. You may also roll it about the
table any way you like.

1nafter Of cornnarafive1v small concern

matter Of comparatively small concern.
Above all, let none of us be turned
aside from our great purpose by the cum
ming cries of political leaders, who must
have, something to talk about. For three
years the politicians have tried to beat
back this issue of Prohibition out Of poll
ties, and without success. Now they are
trying to suppiant it, just as they tried to
supplant the question of abolition in tho
ffties, with the false cry Of tariff. Not a
saloon keeper but is glad to help them in
this. Nearly eight months ago The Bar,
the liquor organ Of this CITY, said (and
every Prohibitionist out TO learn it by
heart1:
1.-THE tariff is, therefore, friend Of the
Qiquor) trade, and all should lend them
selves to stirring it up. While politicians
have their hands full with the tariff they
will be very sure to let everything else
slide, and Prohibition, which has lately
been making so much noise, will evapor-
ate.'
The tariff, as Political issue, has beer
pushed to the front by the politicans-not
by the people. The issue of Prohibition
has been pushed to tho front by the peo-
pie In spite Of the politicians. Which will
you stand by? The former in its best estate
is an industrial problem only; the latter,
while Of much greater Importance as an
industrial problem even, is a moral pro-
blem as well, of wide and deep reaching

not be done, and when and where,
said he, Lincoln "was more uni
formly right and less frequently
wrong than any man we had."-
