just over the edge of the glass all

Let the card remain on the glass for
half an hour or so, and you will then
see that the moist vapor rising from the

arch in the center. Then take the card
carefully by one Of its corners and re-
place it on the glass, with the arched
side reversed.
Having cut out of paper the figure of

the top of a vial cork, place the cork
carefully upon the center of the card

will make the card swell in the opposite
direction, and, with little clap, up

A Simple Game.

A game which is both amusing and
instructive, and which can be played
without pencil, paper or paraphernalia
of any sort, has been enjoyed by party
of bright young people at summer
boarding house.
The game is simply this: One men,
ber of company-which may consist
of any number of people from two up
ward-is to give out in their proper Or
der the first three letters of word
which he has in his mind, and which
the company are to guess. For instance,
he may have i'll his mind the word Ca
lamity, in which case he Announces, 81
think Of word which begins CAL.
As fast as one of the others thinks Of
a word beginning with those letters he
presents it orally for approval. There is
no method in the group of guessers as
to the order III which they speak. SO
that whenever two people hit upon the
right word simultaneously, both receive
credit for it, in case they announce their
guesses at the same moment.
The difficulty and interest of the
game are much increased by placing
limit upon the number of letters which
the word shall contain. The party Of
young people referred to above limited
the number to eight. This, of course.
makes it more difficult to find word
which will puzzle the guessers.
Two prizes are usually assigned-one
to the person who guesses the largest
number of words correctly and the other
to the one who has given the greatest
number of words which have puzzled
the guessers for five minutes or more.

people who were much amused when it
at last appeared that "beau" had been

after much guessing, elongated into
"canoe" and "p-u-r" into purity"
Tho shortest and most ordinary words
often prove the most puzzling, owing to
some popularity of their formation.

A pretty story is told of Mrs. Harold

in which she regarded her father s great
wealth.
The incident occurred when she was
pupil at one of the fashionable New

from her class, presented herself at a GER
tain furniture Dealers to choose u gift
for Il favorite teacher. The price Of the
pretty writing desk, however, was more
than the sum in their possession. The
girls suggested that if the desk was
sent they would forward the balance as
soon as possible,
The proprietor very politely, but also
very decidedly, Informed the girls that
he could not do as they asked. but, "

"Why," said the daughter Of the

Possibly we can get the money there. "
"Who is your father?" queried the

A careful perusal OF the speech from
which these excerpts are made convinces
one that the gold standard Democrats as
charged by Senator Beck, were drifting
away from true Democracy ten years ago
and have been drifting further away ever
since, until now they are willing to over
ride the will Of the people and to set
aside the decision of the majority at
Chicago, thus striking down the most
vital principle underlying true Demo

false teachers? When Senator Beck
said: 81 can, however, get the facts be-
fore the people," he evidently did not
think SO. He evidently believed that
the people when once informed as to the
nature and cause OF a great wrong would
right that wrong, The great issue which
Senator Beck outlined ten years ago is
now placed squarely before the people
for the first time. You can right the
wrong in November by voting for Bryan
