A TRICK WITH FIRE.
How a Clever BOY Can Do Some Mystify-
ing Conjuring.

How q Clever Boy Can Do Some NIystify.
ing Conjuring.
Did you ever see conjurer hold up a
bit of white paper, touch a match to it,
and have tiny flame start in the CEN
ter of the paper and wind around until
it had drawn the outlines of an animal or
spelled somebody's name, and then die
out, leaving the lines burned in the
paper as though they had been cut out?
1t probably seemed very wonderful to
you, but it is easily done.
Take some saltpeter and dissolve in
water until the water will take up no
more. Then with n wooden point, such
as the sharpened end of a match, use
this solution as ink and write your
name or draw pattern on paper. Any
paper will do, but unsized paper will
not show the mark when the liquid
dries, which it will very soon do.
How are you to know where to start
from? Make a pencil mark at the
spot. When you arc ready apply to the
mark tiny coal or glowing stick that
IS not actually afame. You will see
the burning spread until it has run all
along the line you made, and it will
mystify as well as amuse everybody
who watches it.
After you have learned to do it sue
cessfrlly you can prepare a lot of papers
with Queer patterns and funny animals
and have them tackled up on little
frames, and perhaps give little show
all your own.-Milwaukee Journal.

METHODS OF VINES.

How Climbers May Re Best Trained in
the Garden.
Climbing vines have many different
methods of attaching themselves to
their support. Some encircle a branch
of the post by twining their main bod.
les around the support. A hop vine is
a familiar illustration of this More
delicate ones cannot twist around their
stakes, but have to have string or sim
liar material to cling to. The ordinary
morning glory is an illustration of this
class; but there are some which simply
climb by twisting the leaf stalk around
the support. This is especially true of
different kinds of Gle matises, vet it is
not unusual in some gardens to see
stacks as thick as walking canes put
for the clematis to run up on; but, as
it is unable to do this, they have to be
tied to this pole by Irvine, while the
leaves go on twisting themselves in
order to find something to cling to,
and as consequence the vital powers
of the plant are exhausted. In many
cases the clematis, especially the va
riety known as Jackmanni, will die COM
pletely and suddenly from the attack
of minute fungus; but it is more
likely that this occurs oftener in cases
as described--for want of proper means
of support. Thread or Irvine for the
leaves to twist around, or even little
brushwood, such as we would give to a
crop of peas, is much more likely to
produce healthy and vigorous Glenn
atises than when they are deprived of
all means of using their leaf stalks as
tendrils.-Meehan's Monthly.

Jim was very mischievous crow
indeed. When Grace, the baby, was
learning to walk, he would seize her
slyly by the dress, and cause her to fall.
He would peck at the toes of the bare

and laugh heartily as he drove them
dismaycd from the yard. Sometimes
he would steal unnoticed down into the
cellar. The blows he would give with
his bealz had the force of small ham

for him to turn the spigot of a barrel.

Today both of the pugilists we're
released from their peace bonds upon
their assurance that they would not
fight in this State. In releasing them,
however, Chancellor Martin took
occasion to remind the fighters that
his restraining order stood, and
said: 81 will grant a dismissal of the
peace bond cases at the request of
the Attorney General, and if these
men then violate the agreement, the
Attorney General will be RESPONSE

day to take up subscription
for the purpose OF getting our
pastor Il conference suit. 1t was
the most pleasant task ever per-
formed. l started out to get $15 and
expected it to take me at least three

1t was the only subscription l ever
took that did not have to go
around half a dozen times to collect.
In this instance everybody paid the
cash down. Another thing pleasant
about it, not one raised a murmur,
or complaint of any kind All
seemed not only willing, hut anx-

we got our pastor nice suit and
