TRICKS THAT ARE LIGHT.

simple chemicals. One of them is the
ball of fire. Take for this barium sui

Donate (CP), one part; gum tragacanth
O. S. This should be mixed and rolled
into marbles and kept at a red heat
for about an hour, then allowed to
cool slowly and placed in a glass-stop-
pered bottle. A few hours before using
place IN the sun, and the marbles at
once become luminous. At the enter
tainment ordinary marbles are passed
among the audience, one or more Of
the luminous marbles being concealed
In the hand. The exhibitor then takes
a marble from some one in the au-
dlence, holds it between his thumb and
forefinger. blows upon it. and asks to
have the lights turned down. AS this
Is done he substitutes the luminous
marble, and the mysterious light is
seen. This is handed around. and
changes again as the light is turned
on, when the magician presents to the
audience several Of the ordinary mar
bles as souvenirs. Another trick is
very effective. Take two similar
punches of artificial flowers; brush one
over with glue or mucilage and powder
1t with the dust from one of the mar
bles described; then place in the sun.
When taken into a darkened room lum-
nous flowers are seen. The magician
EXHIBITS the flowers that have not been
prepared and shows that there is moth
ing peculiar about them: then, as the
light is turned down. he substitutes
the concealed bunch, blows upon the
flowers, and, presto. displays to the

The Little Duties.

Do not try TO do great thing: you
may waste all your life waiting for
the opportunity, which may never
come. But since little things are al
ways claiming your attention. do them
as they come. from a great motive. for
the glory of God, to win his smile and
approval and to do good to men. 1t
is harder to plod on in obScurity. act
ing thus, than to stand on the high
places Of the field, within the view Of
all. and to do deeds of valor at which
rival armies stand still to gaze. To
fulfill faithfully the duties Of your sta
ton. to use to the uttermost the gifts
OF your ministry: to bear chatting an
noyances and trivial irritations as mar
tyrs bore the pillory and the stake;
to lind the one noble trait in people
that try to modest you; to put the kind
est of construction on unkind acts and
words: to love with the love of God
even the unthankful and evil; to be
content to be fountain in the midst
of wild valley of stones. nourishing
few lichens and wild flowers, or now
and again Il thirsty sheep: and to do
this always, and not for the praise of
man, but for the sake of God-this
makes a great life.-Rev F. b. Meyer.

up, the burghers not being on very
good terms with the monks, and caring
not to depend upon them for hospital

sometimes the worthy citizens used
to receive travellers into their houses
and accept payment for entertaining
them. Regular inns were usually dis
tlnguished by the sign of the landlord
with bush attached to it. Hence the
proverb: Good wine needs no BUSH"
The sleeping accommodation in these
inns, judging from old pictures, was
primitive, the beds being arranged in
separate berths like those of a ships
cabin.
Such an inn was the old Seven Stars,

repulsed by the townsfolk, who were
stanch roundheads. "A great and flu

Seven Stars was in the center of the
