Elements prove that the inhabitants were
ardent hunters and then largely fed on the

when farming occupations were followed
to greater extent, the flesh of tanned
animals was chiefly eaten. The bones have
mostly been split open, doubtless for the
purpose of extracting the marrow.
Among the animals domesticated by the
lake jewellers were the OK. the sheep and
the goat. Their stalls, like their masters
dwellings, were upon the water; and guam
titles of the litter provided for them have
been found in the mud Of the lakes. Moss,
which has also been largely discovered, is
thought to have formed the sleeping
couches of the household. Numerous wild
fruits such as apples, pears, plums, rasp-
berries blackberries and nuts, were in

A TRICK WITH CARDS.
How an Amateur May Easily Fool tn
Oldest Inhabitant.

oldest InnaDltants
Card tricks are always interesting. and
professional magicians have acquired in
the handling of several packs of cards at a
time celebrity which looks mysterious, to
say the least, to their audiences. With a
little practical ingenuity even amateurs
can perform card tricks that mystify their
friends and defy discovery. In this case
the cards are prepared beforehand.
It is necessary to procure sixteen aces of
hearts, eight jacks of diamonds and eight
queens of clubs. The latter sixteen cards
are cut in half diagonally with penknife
and a ruler. These cards are then pasted
on the back of the ace cards in such man
ner that one-half of the card presents the
jack Of diamonds and the other the queen
of clubs. This ends the preparation OF the
game.
A second pack of cards is secured, and
this is composed of thirty cards, contain
ing ten each of the three series of which
the prepared deck is made up. AS only
the bottom of the cards is exposed the sub
terfuge is not discovered by the audience
One of their number is delegated to draw
card from each one of the three series
that are spread out before him. The per-
son choosing the card is of course not
aware that they are all alike.
When the three cards have been chosen
the prestidigateur lays his pack leisurely
on the table, in the meantime engaging
the attention of his audience by constantly
talking to them and placing the pre-
pared cards on top of the deck. They are
then spread out and held up to view SO
that the thumb which holds the cards
covers the lower portion, head and club of
queen, and presenting only the jack Of
diamonds When these cards are returned
to the other pack they are placed at the
bottom of the same.
The same performance is repeated, bring
ing the queen of clubs to view, and at last,
as the cards are turned upside down, the
aces of hearts appear, and are spread out
on the table alongside the other deck and
gathered up again in nonchalant man
ner by the magician.
It frequently happens that some one in
the audience will demand an investigation
of the cards, and for that purpose the pres
tidigitateur has third pack of cards
about him, composed of forty-six cards,
each one different from the other, which
he produces after little hesitation, let
ting the other deck disappear in con-
yenient pocket.-Chicago Times
