The turning down Of corner OF 4

good form. There are cards OF cere-

also after entertainments TO which you
have been asked, within week after q

Calls OF courtesy and compliments arc
those made To formally announce De-

all connections and friends OF the two
families. This Ia q formal announce

pie a little token OF remembrance

who suggested the rainbow for their

that the spectators might consider that
the open back would afford good means
for the entrance or departure OF con-

Up to this point the illusionist has not
passed back OF the cabinet at any time
except when the curtains are shut
down closely over the two back sections.

tiny, and far from the centre the crown
is, there is sham crown put under that

used on hats and bonnets, the only diff

choice and rare bits OF paste

Cut No. shows the magician In the
cabinet and the four doors opened.
Locking at the divisions back OF him
the reader can see the line or the cur
curtain edge and the still lower line Oh
green material which covers part OF the
stage. The dark tint OF back curtain IS
not shown here, as the picture is small
aud wish TO show the Stating plainly.
The back, as shown at this point, Is
dummy back OF thia material. 1t Is
provlden with cleverly painted face OF
yellow Stats and green background,
with a triangular space at the bottom
painted to match the floor OF the caoi-
net On first thought the iolnting OF
the floor and the hanging dummy
might be supposed to be apparent,
but readers who have seen stage cur
tain which so exactly matches the 1oor
dressing as TO make them think that the
stage runs far back OF the actual line
where 1t ends will see how easy 1t is for
the eye to be fooled with this effect.
The dummy may be perfectly fat and
hanz straight down 10 the floor, leaving
space between it and the real Stats
back OF it. This space Is quite large
enough for the princess or the grena-
der, neither OF whom is large, TO be ell
fectually concealed In 1t without dis
comfort or cJntortion.
When the princess steps into the cab
met and the blinds are pulled down she
and the young man change places.
When the grenadler steps out the blind
is again pulled down before the cabinet
Is moved forward.
Cut No shows the dummy section,
and this diagram indicates how the
painted section may be swung out to
allow OF the two confederates changing
places.
During the time occupied by the
operators In the cablnet-which is now
closely urtained-forward and It's
swinging above the stage the girl who
was left behind Ia the dummy has had
ample time to go out into the center OF
the cabinet and adjust the dummy In
such way that when the final touch
is given to the trick the few who may
have suspected the exlstenct OF dunn
my will again doubt their power OF
discovery.
The dummy section has string or
wire which runs from rings at the
bottom up to the top Of the cabinet and
through very small rings across this
space to the brass rod which fronts
the cabinet. The wire runs through

When the double comes down the aisle
and goes 10 the smaller cage TO be shut
in she is prepared the moment the doors
are shut to make a spring from the
back OF this cage and through \ slit In
the green curtain. She may De Drovid-
ed with a dark material 10 cover her
and make her inconspicuous against the
dark background II curious eyes are
turned that way. As rule, every one
is waiting for developments at tho front,
and when the final signal tells the
princess TO raise the curtains and dis
close herself the curtains OF the smaller
cage are sprung by an assistant who
knows that the double has fed.
What more contributes TO bewilder
the average investigation Is the pains
taken by the operators 10 give the i'm
presslon that the back sections were al
vays open where the Stats are. They
uarsde the fact after the cage has been
swung ND and brought down, but not
before. that they can be seen through 81
all points. But to see through the trick
isl still better thing, AID the above Is
offered as the solution Of very cleyerly
arranged Illusion.

rings on the inner side Of this post.
When the girl raises the painted dummy
she pulls on this cord until the light
screen is fiat against the top OF the cab
met and then attaches the end OF the
wire TO n hook. The inner side OF the
screen is painted to match the wood
work, and In the hustle which follows
the letting down OF the cage no one
would not notice the slight break In the
smoothness OF the top. which might be
apparent on closer examination.
Cut No. 5 will give good idea OF how
the dummy Is swung mp against the
TOD OF the cabinet with the painted side
in. and the triangular space az the top
OF the cut represents the space. as seen
from above, IN which the confederates
were hidden.

1t undermines the self-reIiance of our people
and substitutes in its place dependence upon
government favoritism. 1t stiles the spirit of
true Americanism and stupefies every emo
bling trait of American citizenship. The les
sons OF paternalism ought to be unlearned and
the better lesson taught that while the people
should periodically and chee'fully support
their government its functions do not include
the support of the people,
Leads to a Challenge.
The acceptance of this principle leads to
refusal of bounties and subs dies which bur-
den the labor and thrift of portion of our
citizens to aid i'll advised or languishing en-
terprises in which they have no concern. 1t
leads also to a challenge of wild and reck-
less pension expenditure, which overleaps
the bounds of grateful recognition of patri-
otto service and prostitutes to vicious uses the
peoples prompt and and generous impulse to
aid those disabled in their countrys defense.
Every thoughtful American must realize the
Importance of checking at its beginning any
tendency in public private station, to re-
gard frugaily and economy as virtues which
we may safely outgrow. The liberation Of
this idea results in the waste of the
peoples money by their chosen servants and
encourages prodigality and extravaganza in
the home life of our countrymen. Under our
scheme of government the waste of public
money is a crime against the citizen; and the
contempt of our people for economy and frugal
