The neate,t Juggling trick of the day
is the following A pony-glass of whisky
and a pony glass of water are placed
side by side. both glasses trimming
full, and wager made that the liquids
can be made to change glasses without
pouring either of them out. If the
wager is accepted thin card is placed
over the glass of water and held tightly
on it while it is turned upside down and
placed on top of the pony of whisky.
The card is then carefully showed aside
until one end of it is hairs breadth be-
yond the rims of the glasses, and tho
whisky will then work itself slowly into
the upper glass, the water descending to
the lower. Care should be taken that
both glasses are full to running over,
and the card should be thin and moved
aside very slightly or the opportunity
for capillary attraction, on which the
trick depends, will be lost -[Chicago

CONSOLIDATION OF NEW YORK.
A Look Ahead at a City OF 100000
Souls.

The Brooklyn bridge and the Black
wells Island bridge, which will soon be
ready for use, will eventually consolidate
all the outlying population around the
metropolis into one city. A bill has
been introduced in the legislature look
ing to that end. 1t will probably be
amended in many particulars, and ultl-
mately embrace the plan of taking into
the municipality of New York all OF
Brooklyn, all of Long Island City, the
greater part of Queens county. Long
Island. that part of Kings county which
includes Coney Island, Staten Island
and on the north of the city of Yonkers
and the city of Mt Vernon. These two
cities have a combined population OF
nearly $4,000. If consolidation is effected,
which takes in this great outlaying dis
trict, the population of New York city
at the time consolidation could be
effected, which would be at least ten
years hence, it is estimated will not be
far from 8. 800 000 making it the second
largest city i'll the world.
