can't tie them fast enough, and they
get away almost as soon as they are
tied, and disappear before your eyes.
Funny, isn't it?"
And it was funny, and pulling too.
Here IS the secret of the trick Hold
the one end of the handkerchief between
the first and second fingers Of the left
hand, with the end protruding from the
back as shown in the artists sketch It
makes no difference how you hold the
other end. Tie the knot with the right
hand. Tightly grasp the left end of the
handkerchief a little below the knot
with the second finger and thumb of
the left hand, letting go of the extreme
end with first and second fingers. Now
pull with the right hand, and, of course,
the knot slips out Then, instantly,
shift the end back between the two
fingers, as you held It when you began
the trick. and you are ready for another
knot. The sketches will make the mat
ter plain.-Harper's Young People.

CLEANING OIL PIPES.
An Odd Knife Which Is Compelled to
Make Long Trips.

An Odd Knife Which Il Compelled to
Make Long Trips.
To those people of inquiring mind
who have seen or read of the long pipes
that carry crude petroleum from the
wells of western Pennsylvania 10 the
refneries of Philadelphia, it is a source
of wonder how the pipes are cleaned
As the oil flows through these under
ground conduits, the parafine in the
fluid is separated and this residuum in
crusts the sides of the pipes and proves
q serious hindrance TO the free passage
OF the current of oil
The device that is used TO remedy
this evil IS a knife, about two feet in
length, with a sharp edge that is con-
structed exactly like the thread Of a
screw; indeed, the knife itself resembles
a huge headless screw more than any
thing else. 1t IS always slightly smaller
in diameter than the pipe it passes
through
When the thickness of the crust of
paraffine renders a cleansing necessary,
this instrument is inserted in the first
link Of the huge iron chain far off in
the oil fields It receives its motive
power from the stream of petroleum,
which it accompanies all the way to
Philadelphia, revolving rapidly as it
hurries along, and scraping the chan
nels clean from every particle of paraf-
fine.
It turns and twists and cleanses in
this manner throughout its whole long
journey, finally dropping from the pipes
in the midst Of the vast stream of pc
troieum that empties continuously into
the receiving tanks at Philadelphia. Its
edges, to be sure, are duller than when
it set out upon its expedition, but other
wise its condition is perfect.
1t is immediately shipped back to tbs
fields, when it is sharpened again and
laid away, until future parafine &C
cumulaticns require once more its val

marked that my young friend was pick

We'll, Sammy, old sport" said I,
''what'd you think of a betting ring?"

''I've been waiting to find somebody
who was so short that could see over
his shoulders. If encounter man OF
that size will endeavor to look about
me-"
1t was now time for the first race to
be run, and we went out TO see it I
saw it, but Sammy got wedged in be-
hind a sig-footer just as the horses
started, and it was all over before he
could move. Then he went back to the
bookmakers and waited another half
houe or more.
could see that my friend was not
having as good time as he might have
had If had taken him to see the OBJ
elisk, SO in order to awaken his interest
in the proceedings bet ten dollars of
his money on the second race and lost
it. As this sum trenched on our re-
serve we were obliged to get it back, so,
by my advice, we bet twenty dollars on
the third race, and would have won if
the procession had been moving the
other way.
The fourth race was the handicap. AS
the time for starting it approached, |
began to be somewhat nervous myself.
In former days I had noticed that my
money on a horse would anchor hira to
a post more securely than if he were
tied to it with halter, thereby avoid
ing any danger Of his falling down in
front of the others and getting stepped
on, or in any other way interfering
with the successful running of some
strange, new animal whom nobody had
ever heard of, and only the bookmakers
were interested in Well, my luck had
not deserted me. When the Brokedale
started nv horse was headed sou'-sou'-
east, while the others were pointing
nor'-nor'-west, and by the time the
jockey had turned him around there
was nothing in sight but dim and dis
tant cloud OF dust.
Aswe wandered away from the track
told Samuel that the prize fight would be
ever SO much more fun, and besides
knew more about prize fighting, and
could pick a winner if allowed two
guesses. bar draw. I have noticed
that many men when on their way
honeward from a race track develop
spirit Of frankness with themselves
which would be of great use 10 them if
it were not too beautiful to last.

The first thing that struck Sammy
was the vast and hurrying throng. It
struck him IN an elevated railroad train
and nearly tore his clothes off. New
York is very crowded city. The nu-
merous and comparatively cheerful
cemeteries Of Brooklyn, ON the one
hand, and the malaria of New Jersey
on the other, do not furnish sufficient
outlet for our surplus population The
way we fall over each other is appalling
to a stranger. I thought the spectacle
would be novel and instructive to Sam

sets city, where one may walk down
the principal street in business hours
and meet not even creditor.

as could be expected. A forenoon isn't of

myself to beginning day that way.
