Mind Reading.

Any number OF people can join in
mind reading, and the game is both
interesting and mystifying, A ring is
formed, all joining hands, and there
must be two sitting next to each other
who know the secret OF the game. Let
us call these two Alice and May, Alice,
who is introduced as a professional
mind reader leaves the room, and
those remaining choose any word, a
short one preferably. The object of
the game Is for Alice, who Is ignorant
Of The word, to return and guess it,
and this may be done by a simple little
trick so that II attracts no attention
whatever. All are told to close Their
eyes. and think hard OF the word
chosen. Then Alice is called back and
sits down in the circle, taking hold oil

The Trading Mouse.

The trading mouse, as he is called
in Florida, is a queer little fellow with
a ple of conduct very different from
that of others of his species. When
he carries anything away he always
puts something in place of the arti. 4
Gle taken. This Exchanging" seems
to be the business of his life, for he
will carry of things of which he can
make NJ use.
He may take away "A finger ring
and put in its place some seeds, or
carry of a brooch or locket and re-
place 1t with n number of shells. A
very lopsided exchange at best, but
then he may think we cannot tell the
difference between a bean and n

there was no chance Of escape, for the
