1t will be found intensely interest

buds of various trees as they prepare
to unfold in the spring. They should
be taken under observation just be-
fore they actually open, when they

A Home. Made Magic Lantern.

Those boys and girls who are not the
happy owners OF magic lantern will
be interested to know that almost the
same results may be obtained with
materials that may be very easily cb-
tanned. They consist Of the white
cloth-or paper will answer-upou
which the pictures are thrown, OF a
mirror, candle and some paper
figures.
Equally simple is the performance,
Having stretched the cloth against a
wall in a darkened room, set lighted
candle opposite to it on a table, with
book or a similar object intervening.
so that the light will not directly
strike the cloth, but keep it in COM
paratiye darkness. Then hold the mir
an angle that the reflection of it will
be thrown on the cloth. You have thus
secured the slide itself, square or
round as the form Of the mirror may
be- 1t yet remains to introduce the
picture. This is easily done. You must
only hold a paper inquire between the
candle and the glass, and its shadow
on the mirror. reflected on the cloth,
gives in silhouette the form of the pa
per.
Moving it forward between the
candle and the glass, the figure will
appear to walk more or less leisurely,
or a regular promenade may be ar
ranged, with two or more figures NOV
ing in opposite directions. Other
motions will readily suggest them
selves to the imaginative mind.
1t is, however. necessary to remem-
her that the picture show in silhoutte
only, so that only the outlines of the
paper can be depended upon to give
shape and form.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER rs
MADE

The Health Department OF New
York has seized a quantity OF so-called
cheap baking powder which 1t found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to 1t by the low price at which II was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples were taken and the chemist
of the Health Department reported
the stuff TO be AN alum powder"
which analysis showed to be compos-
ed chiefly OF alum and pulyerized
rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous TO health, and several thou
sand pounds were carted 10 the offal
dock and destroyed. II is unsafe to
experiment with these so-called
cheap" articles OF food They are
sure TO be made from alum, rock, or
other injurious matter. In baking
powders, the high class. cream OF tar
tar brands are the most economical.
because they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

Paris Prohibits Piacards

In Paris II was usual at every gen.
eral election to see all the public build
ings disfigured by the enormous guam
tity OF election addresses and other
placards posted upon them. At the
time OF the Boulanger incidents bill
posters would follow In rapid success
sion and stick bill upon bill until
there was not more than one inch of
paper. The extremely ugly effect of
such placards and the damage done by
scraping down the posters after the
electoral battle induced the chamber
to make a law prohibiting the posting
up of placards on what was termed
artistic monuments.-Paris Messenger.

a rich pasha wants to secure the favor
of the sultan he offers him one OF his
daughters with a suitable dowry as a
wife, and if she is accepted it is a
sign of friendliness as well as a mark
OF distinction. When the governor Of
the Circassians' province, which Is
said to have the most beautiful women
in Turkey, wishes to please his i'm
perial master he will send him a
handsome young wife as gift, or
when any OF his subordinates discov-
er a young woman of remarkable at
fractions they secure her for the
royal harem.
The ladies of the harem are called
sultanas. They enter as slaves, and
the younger become the servants of
the elder and attend upon them until
they are promoted. If the sultan takes
a fancy to any one of his wives her
fortune is made, for she is rapidly
promoted her allowance for dresses
and jewels is increased, and II she
becomes a mother she can live apart
from the rest as becomes a princess.
All children born in the harem, wheth-
er of free women or slaves, are le-
climate and of equal lineage and may
inherit the throne if they ever be-
come the head of the family, for, ac-
cording to custom, the succession is
vested in the oldest male of the royal
family. whether he be son, brother or
cousin of the reigning sovereign.
Ladies of the imperial harem almost
without exception wear European
dress. Only the most recent arrivals,
girls who come from the interior of
the country. retain the native cos
tune. The ladies have French maids
and order their gowns and hats in
Paris. Every now and then French
modiste or milliner arrives in Con
stantinople with samples for the in
spection of the sultanas, from whom
she receives very large and liberal or

Games OF Ancient savsgc..

The little savages of years gone by
were much more fond of and devoted
to games and sports than we are now
adays. Perhaps that was because
they hadn't as much to do as the
people of modern times. The rough
er the game was the more they liked
it.
The ancient Australians most popu
lar sport was a wild game called "Marn
Crook" 1t was very much like foot
ball. only, II possible, rougher. They
had ball made of SKINS there were
no goals, and the object OF the game
was for each side to keep the ball in
its possession, and this often result
eo in small battle, for as many as
liked could play, an even number be-
ing on each side.

The Wall, OF SPARTA.

When you tell your chum that he's
"a brick" you probably do not realize
that this bit OF slang is over 1000
years old. An ambassador from Epirus
came to see the king of Sparta. and
knowing that the latter ruled all
Greece, was astonished to find that
his city had no walls. He expressed
his surprise to the king. The latter
laughed and replied that the ambas-
sador could not nave looked carefully
Next day he would show him the
walls of Sparta. The following morn

Another, called the Dome of the

Is said to be occupied with a large col
lection of sacred books and records
centuries old; but no Christian is al.

The mosque is divided into three
aisles by rows of columns which ex-
tend the whole of it's vast length. The
columns are twenty-four feet high,
OF the choicest marble, with beautiful
ly carved Corinthian capitals. The
material OF the walls is various col
ored marbles from the finest quarries
OF the ancient world, and the upper
part OF the walls and the dome are en-
riched with tiles and mosaics. 1t is
said that 1900 artists were engaged
for thirty years in the decoration. In
the center of the mosque four mas
sive pillars support a dome 120 feet
high and 100 feet in circumference,
whose surface is embellished with mo-
sales and frescoes formed of texts
from the Koran in the beautiful cali
graphy which the Arabs delight to
display. The marble floor is covered
with rugs of the rarest texture. The
pulpit is of alabaster and the fretwork
of its sides represents the highest
skill of oriental artists. The "mu-

ders. Although they are seldom seen
by men, the inmates of the harem
have all the feminine instincts and
here is great deal of rivalry
among them. We saw one of the sui
tan's favorite wives and her daughter
driving the other day, accompanied
by a negro eunuch and a military es-
cort, writes William Il. Curtis in the
Chicago Record-Herald. They were
dressed like any other ladies. but
were closely yelled so that their fea-
lures could not be distinguished.
The apartments of the harem are
equipped with European furniture.
Meals are served in European style
and the cooks are French. The French
language is spoken generally among
the sultanas and they read French
novels. Turkish customs are almost
obsolete. The traditional harem in
which hours sit around upon silk
rugs with their legs crossed and
play guitars and eat sweetmeats ex-
lists only in the imagination. The
women live just like any other royal
family, except that they are not al
lowed to receive company or enter so
ciety, and when they leave the palace
they must wear heavy wells.

NO COURTESY IN STREET CARS
New York Paper Tells of Somewhat
Pathetic Happening.

His face was very white and tired
and the deep lines in it showed plainly
that he was either in the clutch of a
new illness or was only just recover
ing from an old one. He had found a
seat in a corner of one of the cars on
the Sixth avenue elevated. A woman
with baby and a child five or six
years old entered. No one offered
them seat; the sick man looked at
the woman and the babies, and 1t was
evident he was engaged in a great
wrestling match with his sense OF
courtesy. Presently his sense Of
courtesy won. The woman scarcely
acknowledged his act. She took the
baby in her lap and the child leaned
against her knees. The man hung
limp from an opposite strap. At Fiji
tieth street a passenger left the seat
next to the woman and two babies
The sick man started for il anxiously
but before he had reached it the wo-
man had lifted the child that had been
leaning against her knee into the seat
The sick man CROPPED feebly for his
strap. Then the seat next to the older
child became vacant. Again the man
started for 1t, but he was weaker in
the knees now, and before he had
really obtained his balance the baby
was occupying the seat. An over
grown office boy, hanging from q
neighboring strap swung himself out
OF line, and in a considerably loud
voice, shouted to the sick man, That
what you get!"-New York Post.

A pear suspended from the ceiling
by piece of thread is to be cut eX
actly in halves as it falls, after burn
ing the thread on which II hangs. How
can we find the exact spot to place
the knife on a chair or the floor SO
that the pear in falling will be cut?
This is done by dipping the pear in
glass Of water. After suspending the
pear few drops of water will fall on
the exact spot, which must be noted.
These preparations must be made be-
fore your exhibition, so that the audi
ence will only see the suspended pear,
without knowing anything of the drops
of water When the moment for he
performance has arrived, place the

There Is much amusement in Ores
den Parliamentary circles over a little
joke which was played on one of the
oldest members. The gentleman in
question, although somewhat misery,
is very popular. Recently he injured
his finger. and, not caring to consult
his own doctor, sought the advice Of
a brother member, an NJ. D., who
told him what to do.
On the following day, however, the
old gentleman received a bill of 10
shillings from the doctor for medical
attendance. In his perplexity he con-
fided in another colleague-a lawyer
this time-who pointed out his liability
and advised him to pay the bill.
The aged members astonishment
can best be imagined when he received
later the lawyers claim for 10 shill-
ings for advice given" He indig-
nantly complained to a third member
of this unbrotherly treatment, but this
third gentleman, entering into the
joke, brought the matter before the
committee which decides personal diff
ferences OF the members.

accuser, and he was impeached for Ere
