Flowers are not the limit OF the work.
These gentle missionaries crave all good
gifts for their poor people. Fruit, food,
milk, money. they will receive and put
to use with thankful hearts. They tell
you proudly of one gift that has come
from far Off Texas; a poor blind old
lady sent fifty cents because some one
had read to her paragraph about their
work, and she wished TO feel that she
had helped 1t, II ever so little" Other

Any who are minded to send flowers

AGED SIX HUNDRED.
Some of tho Main Facts About the Oldest
of ReDnbllcs.

OF hepuDllcNs
In August OF the year 1901, A. D., the
three Swiss Cantons OF Uri, schwyz
and Unterwalden formed league for
self defense. There was a running
fight for freedom till 1915, when the
Swiss beat the Austrians in the battle
Of Morgartcn. Since then Switzerland
has been free.
In l70S-lS03 an attempt was made to
bound the three Cantons into one, but
il failed.
A new constitution was adopted in
ls4S, copied from that OF the United
States. This was amended in 1874 and
again in 1885. Under this constitution
Switzerland has Federal Assembly, u
Federal Executive Council and n Fed
eral Tribunal. The Assembly includes
House and 4 Senate.
Home Rule exists in perfection. In
most OF the communes the meetings are
held in the open air, just as they were
1000 years ago.
Another institution, which is pecu-
liarly Swiss, is the "Refererdum," by
which acts proposed in and passed by
the Legislature, either federal or can
tonial, are referred to the people before
becoming laws.
The federal referendum is optional, a
petition OF 10000 citizens or eight can
tons being necessary to procure the re-
ference OF nm act to the popular will.
This is tho more curious when We
consider the mixed character OF the
people. Out Of a population OF nearly
100000, 1900, 900 speak German SOC, 600
French, 1872 1000 Italian, $4,000 Roman
ish. All religions are tolerated, but
oddly enough, clergymen are dis
franchised.

These illustrations are enough 10 show
that the modern magician follows closely
in the footsteps Of the ancient exhibitors
of automata, and that In all cases ths
effects are due more or less 30 trickery.
No matter how intricate the machinery
used. the secret Of their working Is very
simple, and the human brain and hand
really produce the effects. Yet, while
during many years mechanical figures
have amused millions, the secrets of
their construction have been so jealously
guarded that no public explanations Of
them have been heretofore made.
Nearly every modern prestidigitateur
now adds an exhibition of the Hindoo-
stani black art to his programme. They
also use mechanical devices, as well az
appearing and disappearing figures.
These latter illusions are caused simply
By deftly removing black coverings from
the objects that appear so mysteriously
in the uncertain light or replacing them
to cause the disappearance.
Ancient magicians were credited with
supernatural power. Modern exhibitors
of the black art have made no such
claims, and in view of the simplicity Of
many of their tricks it is wonderful that
the public has been so long mystified and
the secrets so well kept. JEROME.
