We should like to give a new chimney for every one that breaks in use.
 We sell to the wholesale dealer; he to the retail dealer; and he to you.
 It is a little awkward to guarantee our chimneys at three removes from you.
 We'll give you this hint. Not one in a hundred breaks from heat; there is almost no risk in guaranteeing them. Talk with your dealer about it It would be a good advertise ment for him.

Practice this until you feel quite at ease with the coin in your hand, and re- member, in practice, to keep the back of the hand uppermOst or outwards, otherwise the nickel would be seen by the audience. When you have arrived at this stage you may study one or two 'passes." By a ''pass" is indicated the apparent passing coin from one hand to the other, although it does not leave the hand in which it is first seen, and this is effected by palming. Thus, hold the nickel lightly in the right hand be- tween the second and third fingers and the thumb. Draw the thumb quickly out of the way, close the fingers smart ly, and you will have the nickel in the right spot for palming; contract the thumb and open the fingers and to any one standing in front of you the hand will appear empty.
 Practise this until you can make sure of safely slowing away the coin in a

Next, in front of a looking-glass try it again, while moving the right hand towards the left, which is held open, and which immediately, on the fingers of the right hand touching it, closes upon the coin it is supposed to contain. Let your eyes follow your left hand. for where your eyes are directed those of your audience are sure to fol- low; drop your right hand carelessly to your side and let it hang as if empty.

THE FLYING FOX.
A Queer Creature Which Inhabits tn
 Forests Oi India.

Queer Creature Which Inhabits the
 Forests Oi India.
 The flying fox is most peculiar ami nal, not unlike mammoth bat. One sees them in surprising numbers in diff ferent parts of India, especially on moonlight nights. They are very dis astrous to choice fruits. but their princi- pal food is the young leaves of the gum trees. At times they visit certain culti- vated sections in such hordes as to sweep away every green leaf, like a swarm of locusts. European sportsmen have eaten them and pronounce the flesh to be palatable, but the natives never eat them. The flying fox is un- able to take flight from the ground. By means of its sharp claws, however, it rapidly climbs tree, from the branch es of which it throws itself into the air and skins about by expanding thin membrane which opens beneath its limbs. It directs it's course through the atmosphere with great precision without any vibratory motion. During the day time these animals retire to the seclu- sion of the forest, coming forth at night with the bats and owls. They sleep hanging head downward from the branches, to which they adhere by the natural hook attached to the points of their shoulders. One also sees in India the flying opossum, which ''shoots" across considerable spaces at high elc- vation by expanding thin membrane attached to either side of its body, and which connects the fore and hind legs

How to help your digestion
