CARE OF LAcEs.

Iron lace on the right side first. then
on the wrong side to throw up the pat
tern.
When putting lace away, fold as little
rs possible. A good plan is to wind it
round a card, rs they do in the shops.
When ironing laccs. cover them with
clean. white tissue paper. This pre-
vents the shiny look seen on washed
lace.
Use contour instead of ordinary
starch for stiffening laces. This makes
them firm and does not detract from
the lacy appearance.
Laccs and other delicate trifcs should
be placed in Il muslin bag before being
boiled. This prevents their getting lost
and torn in the wash.
After getting up laces do not leave
them to air in damp place-round
the fire when the kettle is boiling, for
instance. This robs them of their fresh
ness and makes them look limp.
All lnccs before being ironed should
be carefully pulled out, each point re-
ceiving attention. You will be repaid
for your trouble. as the lace will look
twice as nice and last clean much
longer time.

AN OPT:Ga. ILLUSION.
One of the Tricks Performed by the
Enkirs OF India.

The falsirs of India perform some re-
marlable tricks. The following one
was witnessed by an Englishman who
was himself an excellent prcstdigi-
tatcur:
The apartment being filled, .he ma
gicians began their performance. The
audience sat on the floor about the
faEirs, so that they had no way of con-
ccaling themselves or of hiding any
thing. At their request examined
them and satisfied myself that they
had nothing about them. Then one of
the women stepped into the inclosure,
the rest rcmaining behind the spec
tators, who formed q close ring about
them. The light was now turned down
face began to be Illuminated by n
ghostly light that extended quickly
over her entire body.
She then began to move around and
around, uttering q low, murMuring
sound the while. gradually quickening
the pace until she was whirling about
like IL top. \ moment of this. and the
light that had clung about her seemed
to be whirled off by centrifugal force
and assumed n pillarlilke form beside
her. AS soon as this was accomplish
ed she stopped. turned and began to
mold the light with her hand, and,
though l could distinctly see her hands
move through the light as If it We're q
cloud it began to assume human form.
We saw the arms, hands and legs all
nodded and finally the face and head
gear. She next called for light, and,
the candles being rclighted. there stood
an utter stranger, n native seemingly,
evolved out of cloudland. He stepped
forward and graspcd me by the hand.
His hands We're moist, as if with per-
spiration, and he was very healthy
spirit.
After he had talked and drunk n
glass of arrack he took his place beside
the woman again and began to whirl
about. The lights We're dimmed, but
not SO that we could not see and in a
few minutes the figure began to fade,
soon assuming the appearance of u
pillar or form Of light and then attach
ing itself to the woman and seemingly
being absorbed by her. All this was
done In very short space of time be-
fore the eyes of Mt least so people and
not ten feet from myself. The girl ap-
peared greatly exhausted afterward.

Pursuing IN Elephant.

Any one who has once followed a

undue haste TO repeat the amusement.
They sail along at an average pace Of
six miles an hour, regardless of the

siesta perhaps once every three days.

Too Surrc.tive

An English clergyman had married
a young woman with a reputed dowry
of about 100000. while he himself had
great expectations" Needless to say,
every soul in the village knew about it.
1t was the first Sunday after their re-
turn from the honeymoon. and when
the sermon was finished the parson
proceeded. as usual. to give out the
hymn. verse for verse, to his rustic
congregation.
All went well until the fifth verse
was reached, and the parson began.
"Forever let my grateful heart" when
suddenly and with some confusion he
exclaimed, "Omit the fifth verse; and
Immediately began to rccite aloud the
sixth verse instead. Those who had
hymnbooks promptly read the fifth
verse:
Forever let my grateful heart
His boundlcss grace adore,
Which gives ten thousand blessings now
And bids me hope for more.
