Good TricIS,

Here is trick that will amuse
you. Puncture the she'll of a raw
egg with pin, and through the
hole thus made extract the con-
tents. When the shell has become
dry pour fine sand through the pin
hole until the egg is about one
fourth filed. Then seal up the
hole with white wax, and your imi-
tation egg will be as natural in APP
pearance as real one. Then tell
your companions that you can
make an egg obey your slightest
wish standing on the edge of a
knife, the rim of a glass, or what
ever you will. OF course, no one
will believe you, but you can prove
you are right. The only secret is
to tap the egg gently every time
you change its position, so that the
sand will settle at the bottom, and
keep the egg upright in just the
position you wish.

hopper time was near the corner
of Seventh and Delaware and watch
ed the approach of the insects from

that it was in the afternoon. At

tween myself and the sun. 1t was
not long, however. before they
seemed to come IN clouds The sun
became darkened exactly as though
8 thunderstorm were coming up.
They were flying perhaps 400 or 500
feet high. It must have been less
than an hour when the town was
literally covered with grasshoppe
and IN less than day there was not
q green thing to be seen anywhere.
A great many people dug trenches
IN their yards, IN the bottom of
which they had piled paper and
kindling wood After sweeping
hundreds of the pests into these
trenches they were burned up In
walking along the streets one would
crush hoppers under his feet. They
went as they had dome. almost in a

GREEK FIRE.
How the 1srrible Engine OF DestruetIol
was Used In Warfare.

Was Used In Warfare.
Joinvii1e, who served under King
Louis TX in the seventh crusade of 124s,
gives graphic description of the ter
rors of Greek fire: 1T happened one
night that the Turks brought up am en-
CINE that they called the perriere Cstone
thrower), terrible engine of destruc-
tion, and placed it in front of some cat
castles (chaz chateil) that NJ. Gaultier
de Cure1 and were guarding that
night, and from this engine they threw
Greek fire at MS IN great quantities Ga
plante). It was the most horrible thing
that ever saw. When the good knight
NJ. Gaultier, my comrade. saw the fire.
he cried out and said to us: sSeigneurs,
we are lost forever without remedy, for
if they set fire to our cat castles we
shall be consumed and burned, and if
we leave our post we shall be disgraced,
and so ] conclude that there is no one
who can defend us from this peril *
cept God, our blessed Creator. Order all
our mon, every time the enemy throws
the Greek fire, to throw themselves on
their hands and knees and cry, Thanks
to our Lord, IN whom is all power r -
And whenever the Turks fred the first
shot we threw ourselves thus ON our
hands and knees, as our commanderh had
ordered Che nature of Greek fire was
such that it advanced towardu asbig as
q tuns and its tail extended yard in
length (une denye dequatre pansl:
1t made such noise in coming that it
seemed as though it were q thunderbolt
falling from heaven and appeared to me
like a great dragon flying in the air 1t
threw ont such brilliant light that it
was as clear as daylight in our host, so
great was its fame of fire. Three times
that night they threw this Greek fire at
MS from the aforesaid perriere and four
times from tine great crossbow (arbeleste
tour), and every time our good KING
ST. Louis heard that they were throwing
the fire at us in this manner he cast
himself upon the ground, and stretch
ing out his hands, with his face uprais.
ed tn heaven, he cried in a loud voice to
our Lord and exclaimed as he shed greet
tears, Bean Sire Diem Jesus GhriSt,

The cat castles mentioned by Joinyille
were wooden towers used In sieges. and
the word canine is q French measure of
length equivalent to six feet and loom
sisting of eight pans of nine inches
each. There was nothing novel in the
mere throwing of fire. it has always
BEEN one of tho usual Incidents of siegea.

"A certain school teacher in a
near by town, the name of the lat
ter might be Hartford, has for
some time been giving his scholars
the benefit of a morning lecture on
the evils of life such as gambling,
using intoxicants; tobacco, ETC.
One morning last week he talked
on the practice of a great many
young men of parting their hair
in the middle and he admonished
his scholars not to follow in their
footsteps.
The scholars decided to put the
matter to the test and at the after
noon session each pupil had his
hair parted in the middle. The
teacher was not to be outdone
however, and leaving the room he
soon returned with large comb
and the work of parting the hair
in the usual manner was begun by
the teacher, the girls of the school
assisting in the work by loaning
them their side=combs.
