ing exactly like a sneeze if properly
played.
Resembling The whistling game In
that it has q victim but differing totally
from it in every other way, is a play
called mesmerism. The one to be mes.
merized, called the subject, who mus,
be unacquainted with the trick, is told
to sit opposite the operator while the
other players merely look on. The
operator calls for two soup plates By
previous arrangement with the others,
the bottom of one plate has been black.
ened by holding it over candle, and
this one has been given to the subject.
The latter is directed to fix his eyes
steadily on the operators face and to
initiate every motion as exactly as
possible. The operator then dips his
fingers in the water in his plate, rubs
on his face. The subject does the
same, except that as the bottom of his
plate is blackened he thus makes a
black mark on his face. AS his eyes
are fixed on the opera tors face, he does
not perceive that his finger tip is black.
When the operator has thus caused him
to decorate his face as much as he
chooses, he tells the subject that his
will must be very strong, as he finds ii
impossible to place him under the mes
meric influence. The subject may then
be shown his face in a mirror.
Mind reading is both game and an
experiment and played by any number
of persons, one of whom leaves the
room, while the others agree on some
simple thing for him to do. The player
without is then called in and one of the
company takes him by the hand, at the
same time thinking intently of the
thing agreed upon. He must not move
unless the first player moves. The
player who went out must keep his
mind quiet, trying to think Of nothing
in particular. moving in any direction
he feels impelled to move ana doing
whatever he feels impelled to do. The
player will very often do tho 2
thing he was required by the compa y
to do.
There is no general agreement as to
why this should be the case. It is
argued by some that the players mad
is really infenced by that of the one
who holds his hand. Others maintain
that the success of the experiment is
usually the result of chance. Again
it is alleged that the player who has
his mind bent upon the act in question
thinks Of it SO intently that he cannot

Now if one of the young women will

only raise chair and girl readily from
the floor but carry the two about the
room. Then let an empty chair be
carried about by the same four in the
same manner and the effect will be
found very painful and fatiguing to
the arm. One explanation is that the
pleasure of carrying the young woman
about makes the difference. but the
fallacy Of this theory will become at
once apparent by seating heavy man

then, after going through a mock cere-

The players should pretend TO pass the

Bookbinder is another holiday time
diversion that looks simple and tame,
but can be made highly exciting. Any
number of persons sit in a circle, each
holding q book on the back of his
clinched fists One who has been
chosen boolsbinder and stands in the
middle of the circle, goes to any player
and selling that players book at
tempts to rap his knuckles. which the
holder of the book tries TO avoid by
pulling back his hands quickly. If
player whose knuckles ne raps changes
places with him; otherwise. he replaces
the book and tries to do the same with
some one else. The bookbinder NAV
pretend to seize book without actual
" doing so and if the holder pulls
away his hands so that the book falls,
he must take the leaders place as if
his knuckles had been raped The
leader can make this game very exc,t-
ing if he run quickly from one to
another, pretending 70 take up one
book and then Selling another. thus
keeping the players constantly on the
lookout

move the pips from the orange quarters
you should throw them into a small basin
OF boiling water, and wash them well
until ali the gelatinous matter round
them is in the water. and strain this
into the boiling pulp. This liquor
adds good deal 10 the lellying OF the
marmalade, and gives q delicate, but
not too strong flavor. Some people allow
the pips TO boil with the pulp. but this is
apt to make il taste strong and rough.
Now add the sugar requisite to the
strained orange juice and let it boil sharp
ly for seven or eight minutes till IL is al
most a jelly. then stir in the chips and let
it all boil four or five minutes more till
the chips are nicely cooked; aid
four ounces of sugar 10 each pound
OF juice and cover when cold. The
quantity OF the peel chips you add is
more or less a matter OF taste; and on the
quantity otthem Won use must depend the
amount of sugar. as you allow one pound
OF sugar to each pint of juice and
four ounces of sugar to each pound of
chips. so, OF course. you must regulate
the quantity to q certain extent for your
self. ! know this to be q really salts

less sugar for different tastes. Only re-

case the boiling must be quick or the
color will suffer, and when the chips are
added they must be carefully watched,
for if left in minute longer than IL neces-
sary to sweeten them properly
they will harden. You must re-
member that the degree TO which
your marmaade jeIies depends q good
deal on the amount Of water you add to
the pulp in the first place. and. OF course,
you must not forget 10 allow for the water
in which the pips are washed. presume
it is needless to observe shat the oranges
should be thoroughly we'll washed in cold

EVIDENCE OF MURDER.
But the Details of the Crime Remain
Mystery.

ST. LOUIS. April 1.-THE police have
found evidence at Venice, H.. OF what
they believe to have been most brutal
murder. The discoveries began with the
finding OF huge bludgeon lying on the
door ELL 81 shanty boat about 500 yards
from the Venice elevator and about 200
yards from the rivors edge. Blood that
had the appearance OF being but recently
drawn. q small bunch OF gray and aburn
hair, the gray predominating, and the APP
pearance OF "A portion of human brain
adhered 10 the club abOuta foot from It's
end The floor OF the shanty boat was
covered with blood and large quantity
was found near tho door.
= bloody handkerchief found in an
other shanty looked an though it had
been used as murderer's towel. The
scene af the supposed crime is a tough
locality frequented by low gamblers, and
tho theory is that some one has been
murdered for his money and thyown into
the river. This is strengthened BY the fact
that Sunday morning. Capt. McChiskey of
the harbor boat, saw near the scene of the
murder In the river, the body OF q white
man, which foated away before it could
be caught. A theory which is generally
adopted in connection with the blood
stains and the other evidence OF murder
is that the same two men who garroted
e. A. r. veteran Giile. in this city are
the perpetrators OF the mysterious deed
at Venice
