A Simple Little Trick at Once Ell.

A Simple Little Trick at Once Eff
fective md Mysterious.
Here is trick that Is always effec-
tive, and, while it is very simple in
deed, still it is bound to appear just a
wee bit mysterious, and many, espe-
cially your little brothers ind sisters,
will be unable to explain 1t.
Take two ordinary claret glasses and
fill one to the brim with claret and the
other equally full with clear water.
Cover the top of the glass containing
water with an ordinary visiting card
80 that there are no places around the
edge uncovered by the card. Turn the
glass upside down and place it on the
top Of the glass containing claret and
adjust the glasses so that their edges
meet exactly all the way around.
Now move the card slightly to one
side so that there will be little space
at one side Of the glasses inside uncov-
cred by card. At once a thin stream
Of claret will begin to rise through this
space, not mixing with the water at
all, but its edges clear and sharply de-
fined. The water, too, will begin to de-
scend into the glass containing the
claret, pure, glistening white stream
against the ruddy red.
The stream of claret, too, rising
through the sparkling white of the wa
ter presents beautiful effect, and In q
moment the claret will begin to spread
about the top of the upper glass like
the unfolding of red rose and the wa
ter will spread in the bottom Of the
lower glass. The two fluids will not
mix, but will present a delightful con-
trast Of red and white with sharply de-
fined edges.
In very short time the claret and
water will have changed places, the
claret being in the upper glass and the
water in the lower. This is due to the
difference in weight of the liquids; wa
ter, being the heavier, forces itself into
the lower glass. and portion of the
claret is moved up to take the place Of
the descending water.-New York Her

Si1killer's Arm q Deadly Weapon.
Another man has been killed by a
blow Of the fist, which suggests the
thought that at times the naked fist of
man, given proper impetus by well
developed biceps, Is an exceedingly
dangerous and destructive instrument"
said man who for many years lived
at Vinita, in the Cherokee Nation. !;
1T recalls bit of history local to the
Indian Territory" he continued. "Not
far. from the Arkansas line there lived
a half breed who went by the name Of
John Sixkiller. He was a, bad man,
but not bad in the ordinary southwest
ern way-that is to say, he was not a
gun fighter although he, enjoyed
general mixup Immensely, and until
the Cherokee council interviewed he in
dulged in many such ARRAYS. I&..a
after three men whom he had laid
out had died of their injuries the coun-
ell (tribal legislature) met and passed
an act declaring that John Sixksllcr's
right! arm is a deadly weapon and that
he. is forbidden to use it against an iiad-
versary except to protect himself from
death or great bodily injury.'"

CURE FOR CATARRH.

A Remedy Which an Old virgInian
fe Says IL Infa1lible.
An old Virginia horse breeder who is
visiting in New York claims to have an
infallible cure for catarrh. 1T seems to
me-" he said "that 80 per cent of the
people Of New York city suffer more
or less from catarrh. If they will do
as suggest, they can cure themselves
In short order.
"a friend of mine who used to liv.
In Yonkers had such q severe case of
catarrh that he was compelled to give
up his business and go to Colorado.
The doctors told him that the high alti-
tude Of that state would benefit him.
He remained in Colorado nearly a year
and then found himself as badly off as
when he left Yonkers. After he had
made up his mind that nothing could
cure him and that he might as we'll
die at home us among strangers he met
an old tinker, who gave him the rene
dy, which cured him in three months.

pint Of cider vinegar. Use the solution

It won't do any harm If you swallow
some Of it. Two or three times a day,
but particularly just before going to
bed, dip chicken feather in vaseline
and stick the feather up the nostrils.
l suppose any contrivance bought at a
drug store for the purpose will do just
as we'll as chicken feather, but the
old tinker insisted that there was some
medicinal virtue in the feather.
'The gargle clears the throat and the
lower portions of the air passages from
the nostrils. The vasellne heals the dis
eased condition of the affected parts.
In week the sufferer will feel better,
and If he will keep up the treatment he
can be assured that he will be cured"
