THE BEST CARD TRICK.
1t Is Founded ON Mathematics and Is
Worth Learning.

Worth Learning.
Card tricks which require confederate
or depend upon legerdemain are entirely
useless for ordinary purposes, but here is
trick which is worth learning, because it
shows how the power OF numbers can be
applied to cards. 1t is by no means new
trick, yet there are but few who are ac-
quainted with it, The cards should be ar
ranged in suits, and then each suit should
be arranged in the following order: 6, 4, /,
Z, 5, king, 8, 10, 3, knave, 9, 2, queen. Ar
ranged thus, face uppermost, the should
be the top card and the queen the bottom
card of each suit. Place the suits one on
top of the other-hearts on top, then
spades, diamonds clubs-and then the pack
can be cut by any one of the company as
many times as is desired, but the cut must
be even.
Then, beginning with the top of the
pack, place the cards face down in thirteen
piles. When the first thirteen cards have
been placed in a row begin over and place
the fourteenth card on top of the first, the
fifteenth on the second and so on But be-
fore doing this be sure and get II look at
the bottom card of the pack. This can be
done with glance of the eye. Then, after
the cards have been distributed in the
thirteen packs remember in which of
these heaps is the card which was at the
bottom. You will find upon examination
that there ARE four cards in each heap, and
that each heap contains the same cards
four kings, four tens, etc Now the ar
rangemcnts of the heaps will be in the or
der Of the arrangement of cards as already
given, but back ward, and the position Of
each card in the heap will he in the sam"
order
For instance, arrange the cards in the
order given, and to help the memory the
following sentence may be learned: The
Sixtyfourtb Is, A. regiment ID beats the
Seventy-ffth Z, -; up starts the king
Q,ing) with eight (S) thousand O0) and
three (3) men 0lnave) and ninety-two o, p
women (queen) When each auit has been
arranged place them in the or.Icg Of hearts
spades, diamonds, clubs, so that the hearts
will he on top and the clubs at the bottom
Nov, after they have been cut, suppose the
eight of spades is the bottom card, you
deal them out in thirteen heaps, and the
las heap will be all eights, the top card OF
which will be the eight of spades. Folio
ing in the order the next will be the eiGh
of hearts, the next the eight of clubs, the
next the eight of diamonds. Now, th
first heap will contain all the kings, the
second all the fives, etc.
After the heaps have been thus dis,
tributed you have only to ask any one in
the company what card he wants, and you
can at once pick it out for him.

A RAW RECRUIT.

Now the Europeans employ elephants in
their armies in the East. The British
soldier elephants in India today, however,
are not fighters. They are workers; they
bear the baggage and drag the heavy
cannon.
Not long ago seventeen "raw recruits"
were shipped from Rangoon to Madras.
Most of them were newly captured animals
purchased for the government OF India up
in the country of British Burmah. One by
one these huge animals were hoisted from
the wharf in a great sling and lowered into
the hold of the ship, as shown in the ac-
companying picture from Little Men and
Women, which gives its readers the inter
esting facts here quoted. The elephants
did not like going to sea in that way at all.
They struggled nightly. They roared.
They grabbed at the rigging with their
trunks rs they were slung up in midair.
And then down in the hold they were so
furious that it was more difficult TO get
them out Of the sling than it had been to
get them in.

Kerosene EmnIsion.

Next to the assenites, and often fully
equal to them as insect destroyers, is
kerosene emulsion, 1t kills by contact
sucking insects as well as those which
bite and eat the leaves, twigs, etc. In
bulletin No. 73 Professor A. J. Cook, of
the Michigan station, gives the follow
ing formula for its preparation, which is
one he has recommended and used for
years: Dissolve in two quarts Of water
one quart Of soft soap or one-fourth
pound of hard soap by heating to the
boiling point, then add one pint of kero-
sene oil and stir it violentl-- This is
best done by pumping the liquid into
itself through a small nozzle, 80 that it
shall be thoroughly agitated. This, he
claims, mixes the oil permanently 30
that it viii never separate, and it can be
dilnted easily at pleasure by simply
shaking or slightly stirring after adding
the water to dilute it, When ready to
use stir in enough water to make fifteen
pints in all-that is, one-fifteenth of the
liquid applied would be kerosene oil.
The Hubbard Riley formula is as fol-
lows: One half pound Of soap dissolved
in one gallon Of boiling water, when two
gallons of kerosene are added and i'm
mediately stirred as before. Then dilute
with nine parts Of water to one Of the
emulsion. 1t win thus be seen that Pro
fessor Cook uses four times as much
water as kerosene, while DR.. Riley recon-
mends twice as much kerosene as water.
The former also uses more soap
Professor Cook hopes that all station
entomologists and horticultlrists win
thoroughly try both these formula, that
farmers and fruit growers may be wisely
advised as to their respective merits.

"Well, want him to shave me. These

He was directed to n chair, and for
the next fourteen minutes the barber
lathered and shaved and scraped and
sponged, and not a word was uttered.
When the job was completed the stranger
got out of the chair with the remark:
"This is the sort of barber l have been
looking for and 1 want to give him a
quarter extra. He had taken his check,
paid and been brushed, and was just
going out, when the dumb barber bowed
and scraped, and observed:
"Thanks! Please call again!"

Sweet Potatoes.

The land for Lne sweet potato crop
should be got ready at the first oppor-
tunity. Let 1t be well cultivated and
broken fine. 1t should be light and
fibrous, yet not over rich, as this has q
tendency TO make the potatoes run large
ly to vines. The manure should be
finely broken, well rotted and be worked
well into the land. After the land is pre-
pared, throw it into beds or ridges about
three feet from centre to centre, and set
out the slips, which should be previously
hardened by full exposure in the hot
bed to the air day and night, about two
feet apart on the ridges. The plants
always grow best when set out In newly
prepared rows, and seldom make much
progress until the ground Is thoroughly
warmed The planting Of them may,
therefore, be well deferred until the end
Of the month or the beginning Of June.

The frequency with which unloaded

that some Of the alleged deplorable ac-

GIANT SOLDIERS.

Elephants in India Bear the Baggage of
tho Army and Drag the Heavy Cannon.
The very biggest OF the British soldiers
are in the East Indian army. They are
eight or ten feet tall. They weigh five or
six tons apiece. These giant soldiers are
not men, however. They go on four feet
instead of two In fact, they are elephants.
Strange to say, the first elephants ever
seen by Europeans, centuries ago, were sol
diers too. The Europeans had TO fight
them, as well as men, in the great wars Of
the east. In those days, elephants went
into battle clad in armor. Sometimes they
bore towers on their backs, filled with war
riors. Some of these old soldier elephants
were trained to cut and thrust with huge
scimiters, which they carried with their
trunks. An elephant can lift half a ton
with his trunk Think, then, what tre-
mendous weapon such swordsman could
swing.

sometimes tornadoes, and the structure
must be constructed 50 as to withstand tho
shocks which il Is liable 10 receive. A brisk
wind travels at the rate Of about twenty
five miles an hour, n strong wind at the
rate Of thirty miles an hour, high wind at
forty, storm at fifty, violent storm at sixty,
hurricane at eighty, violent hurricane at
a hundred miles an hour From this it
will be seen that the wind pressure is an
important item which must be carefully
considered and calculated in designing any
important structure. In prairie country
q high building or roof should be avoided,
as it offers too large surface for the press
ure of the wind, which in q storm is about
eighteen pounds to each square foot of sur
face, neither should the building have wide
projections Of corniccs for the same reason,
as it would be in danger Of being unroofcd
Mt any time during n storm unless extra
and expensive precautions have been taken
in construction, 1t follows, then, that n
low building with but slight projections of
cornices is best adapted to prairie coun-
try, as being most economical and safe.
The cottage shown in the illustrations
represents sensible, conveniently ar
ranged and substantially constructed cot

three inches thick. The sills are built OF
two pieces of plank, one, 3XG, laid fat upon
the walls and securely anchored in place
by wrought iron bolts set in the brick
work, the other piece, 2xS, is set edgewise
upon the wall and securely spiked to the
plank beneath. The studding is notched
on the lower end to come flush with tho
outside of the brick wall and sill and
spiked to both pieces, thus securing the
framework Of the entire building from be-
ing torn from its foundations by the most
