them Unfortunately to the assembled
company and you will have perform d
seemingly impossible feat.
BRIDGED CARD.
This is an excellent trick, and If well
done seemingly accomplishes an extraor-
dinary feat. The performer apparently
hands a deck of ordinary playing cards,
well shuffled, to a person selected from
the company, turns his back or may re-
fire to another portion of the room, while
a card is selected from the deck and re-
tanned, then returned to the deck without
handling by the operator and finally dis
closed without even looking at the race
of the cards, This never fails to win
much applause Any deck may be used.
The modus operandi is as folows:A An
nounce to the company that you are about
to place the complete deck In the hands
of a person selected by them and allow
thea person so chosen to. take from and
retain any card selected without resort
ing to any force of coercion by you of any
kind. While you are making this an
nouncenient hold the deck firmly in your
hands, apparently merely playing with
them, but in reality bending them into
slight bridge, as in Fig 8. Then hand
them TO the party who has been chosen
to select any card he desires and retain
it, being Sure not 'Sto allow any other
person to see it. After this Is done you
again take possession Of the deck. still.
however, allowing the card to remain
in possession of the person, who has W.th7
drawn It, Then talk again to the com!
pany, telling them what you are about to
do, at the same time again playing with
the deck in your hands, but again forni7
ing them into bridge as before, only
this time you are reversing the bridge, orr
10
exactly the opposite angle to what you
did before the card is selected. 1See Fig.4)i
Then ask that the card again be placed
in the deck while resting easily on the,
palm of your hand. After this is done
you shuttle the deck easily, but comp etc
ly taking care, however, not to bend the
bridge of either the deck or the selected
card. While manipulating and shuff1ing
them you can easily and unopserVed
glance at the edges and the selected
card will be perfectly palpable by It's be-
ing bent in an exactly opposite bridge
from the rest of the deck, as in Fig. B.
In shutting you can easily place this card
on the bottom Of the deck (much more
easily than you thinl1)g.J When In this po-
sition observe 1t and again shuttle 1t into
the pack. Draw the attention of the COM
pany to the fact that you have not even
glanced at the faces of any OF the cares
Ask some one to again shuttle the deck
you have now restored to its normal con-
dition by bending out the bridges. After
this is done ask them to hold the entire
deck to your forehead and to intently
think of the card they selected At the
same time close your eges and assume
thoughtful expression After you consid-
er sufficient time has elapsed you tell the
card which you have seen on the bottom

clude this trick for IAN amateur who is

~ DISAPPEARING. COIN.
The object of this trick Is to cause
half-dollar piece to apparently melt IN a
goblet of water held in the hand of any
member of the company. All that is
seen is the glass of water, the coin and
a large white handkerchief preferably
silk) In addition to these articles the
performer requires a piece of glass the
size and thickness of the coin. Select
some lady to hold the glass of water.
Take the eoir md hold it conspicuously
between the thumb and first finger Of
the right hand, first. concealing the piece
OF glass in the palm of the same hand
From the nature of the glass it is easily
concealed, and dexterity in palmng' is
not necessary. GSee Fig. ~ Then throw
the handkerchief over the right hand,
and, while under cover, change the half
dollar for the glass disk. which can be
I,IrI hriS
yersation to distract attention. After
having switched the piece withdraw the
hand retaining the coin therein, and let
the lady grasp the piece under the hand
kerchief, which she imagines Is the coin,
but which really Is the glass piece. Then
cover the tumbler with the folds of the
handkerchief and ask the lady to drop
the "coin." 1t will be distinctly heard
to fall in the glass. Then say presto"
ard ask the lady to remove the hand
kerchief from the tumber. and the coin
will have disappeared. The water can
be emptied from the tumbler, and the
suction will cause the glass disc to re-
main at the bottom, where 1t will be en-
tirely invisible. Gig. 81 This trick can
be elaborated by having the coin pre-
viously marked for future Identification,
ard, after the handkerchief has beer re-
moved and the water emptied, disclose
the original coin from some distant place.
MYSTERIOUS POSTWAR.
This is a remarkably effec i've trick,
and, if properly performed, will create
profound impression, as 1t is seemingly
impossible, although perfectly simple. The
performer distributes to six or eight mem
bers of the company an equal number Of
perfectly clean white envelopes, with
pieces Of plain white blank paper. He re-

MINERS ON THE GOLD BEACH

Three Thousand Have Spent tho
Winter on the Scene of the New
Field to BE Ready for Early Oper-
ations in the springAThree
Creeks Explored With Good Re-
suits I'm Pay Dirt-Nome City.
About 5000 miners are spending the
winter along the beach and in the val
leys near Nome City. the great gold
region Of Alaska which came into promi-
hence last year. It is expected that this
small district will have a population Of
10000 to 10000 miners next summer. Gold
dust to the value Of 100000 was taken
out of the sands in a few months last
summer and fall and the rush for Cape
Nome in the spring is expected to rival
the Klondike immigration of the past two
years.
A small map has just been published
which includes the Cape Nome region.
1t is based upon the work. in September
last, Of four members Of the United
States geological survey. The Cape
Nome district is ON the northwest coast
of Alaska on Behring sea. about 100 miles
steamer 1t is nearly 200 miles from Be-
attic. 1t extends from the promontory
called Cape Nome about thirty miles
along the coast to the northwest and
about twenty miles inland to the north
The natural features of this little dis
trict are divided into the three regions
Of the beach, tundra, and mountains.
Gold ia found in all Of these forma lions.
The beach stretches away comparatively
straight and smooth, and over half Of last
years output of gold. or more than 81 ,0O0.-
900, was produced along the shore. The
gold came originally from the mountains.
1t was washed out Of the disintegrating
rocks and found Judgment in the sands
Of the beach as the waters carried the
metal seaward. Along the beach the gold
is quite fine, having been reduced by
wave action, together with the gravel
and sand, to the size Of bird shot or even
finer. AS It is heavier than the sand, 1t
has worked down into it, and most Of 1t
Is found under two or three feet of sand
on a bottom layer Of clay, which the
miners call bedrock"
HANDLING OF BEACH GOLD.
On the beach the gold is extracted al
most exclusively by the familiar methods
Of sluicing and rocking. The water is
taken from the ocean and, in some cases,
Is raised from the sea by steam power

In connection with charge that I'M

The commissioner said it was impos-
sible to frame any law without having
some special case arise which might
cause difficulty.
He was asked why the local medical
boards told pensioners favorable re-
port would be made. and yet favorable
action did not follow at the bureau.
The commissioner explained that the
local boards are forbidden under the rules
from making known their findings. But
their members Were human and naturally

Moreover. he said. the law Itself caused

DANGEROUS TO LIFE.
rgicaI Operations for Piles Dam

Surgical Operations for Piles Dam
gerOus and Unnecessary.
The failure Of ointments. salves and
pills to permanently cure piles has led
many to believe the only cure to be a
surgical operation.
But surgical operations are dangerous
to life, and. moreover. are often unsuc-
cessful and at this time are no longer
used by the best physicians nor recon-
rnended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of piles. whether itching, bleeding
or protruding. Is to use the Pyramid Pile
Cure, composed of vegetable oils and
acids healing and soothing to the in
famed parts, and containing no opium or
other narcotic.
Dr. Williams. prominent OFFICIAL sur
geon. says: 1T is the duty-of every sur
geon to avoid an operation II possible to
cure In any other way, and after many
trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure 1 I'M
hesitatingly recommend 1t In preference
to an operation.
"The harmless acids and oils contained
IN II cause the blood vessels to contract
TO a natural condition, and the tumors
are absorbed. and the cure is made with
ont pain Inconvenience or detention from
business.
"In bleeding and itching piles the Pyra-
mid is equally valuable"
In some cases a single package of the
Pyramid has cured long standing cases;
being in suppository form 1t is always
ready for use: can be carried in the
pocket when travelling; 1t is applied at
night and does not interfere with the
daily occupation.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only the
safest and surest remedy for piles, but
ia the best known and most popular
from Maine to California Every physi-
clan and druggist knows 1t and what IT
will do.
The Pyramid Pile Cure can be found
ut all drug stores at SOC for full sized
treatment.
