Chair and Broomstick Tricks

GONE interesting chair and broom
y stick tricks were described in a re-
cent number of the American Boy,
which we reproduce in part with accom-
panying diagrams.
No. shows an interesting trial of the
accuracy of the eye. Place chair at one
end of a room and then let some one
walk rapidly towards the chair. his right
arm held stiffly in front of him. AS he
passes the chair he will attempt to snap
off q cork balanced ON the back of the
chair. Nine people out Of ten will snap at
least an inch to high. The way to sue
coed in hitting the cork is to quietly get
close enough to the chair to make .
mental note of the exact button, wrinkle
or seam in your clothing which Is exactly
on level with the cork. 1t is then an
easy matter to hold your hand at just
the right height as you approach the
cork.
Diagram three shows an experiment in
which the feminine sex easily outclass
allmasculiner rivals. have never known

more than one or two boys who could
successfully regain their equilibrium
after taking the position shown; but at
least two girls in every three can do 1t
quite readily. Measure back three of
your own feet from the wall of a room and
place a chair between you and the wall;
then bend over the chair until your head
rests against the wall. Now raise the
chair and attempt, without moving your
feet or touching the chair to the floor or
wall, to regain your upright position. Any
boy, unless he differs materially from the
rest of his sex, will find that the thing
simply can't be done. l suppose the
relative size of the feet has something to
do with the success which usually at
tends a girl in this experiment. The
extra weight which man carries in the
shoulders may also have something to
do with 1t.
Diagram number six shows some fun
with one of the broomsticks. Place one
end against the angle formed by the wall
of a room and ask some friend to pass
his body under it without lifting his feet
from the floor. He will naturally face
the wall in his undertaking, and in this
position it is next to impossible to get

you will succeed in doing this the first
time you try, but little practice will
make the performance quite easy.
Good practice in limbering the shout
ders is to be had by grasping the stick
with the hands, perhaps two feet apart.
and then without loosening the hands
raise the stick over your head and bring
it down across the back. Gradually re-
duce the distance as your arms and Shout
ders become more plant.
In trying the position shown in dia-
gram number eight be sure that the
chairs are we'll braced so as not to slip
from under you. have known men who
would let me sit on their chest while they
were in this position, but any boy may
be satisfied simply to hold it without any
additional weight.
Remember that the boy who is con.
tinually getting hurt is not the boy who
wins the confidence of the home rulers
or the admiration of his comrades. AL
ways have profound respect for your
limbs; they are worth taking care of.
Work up to your feats by slow degrees,
until what an unframed man could do
only at the risk of his neck will be to you
as safe as any ordinary movement.
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1903-11-26

safely under the stick. With your back
to the wall, however, you can to your
friends deep chagrin pass under the
stick quite easily. This is also an excel
lent way to practice the bend back which
is so essential to any kind of tumbling.
The first time tried to climb around
stick, as shown in diagram seven. it
seemed to me that even professional
contortionist could not possibly extrt-
cate himself from such snarl without
dislocating every joint in his body. The
feat, however. 10 not really difficult for
boy who is at all supple. Grasp the
stick firmly, leaving two and half or
three feet space between the hands. You
can easily Judge Of the distance best
suited to you after the first trial. Slip
your left foot over the stick, put your
head under your right arm and then the
test will come. II your back and shoul-
ders are flexible they will allow you to
carry the stick on around and to finally
draw your right leg over without letting

ling I purchased the house, mouse and
wheel. Enclosing it in a Handkerchief
on my journey homeward, was CON-
PEELED to contemplate its favorite
amusement. But how to apply half
ounce power, which is the weight
Of a mouse, to a useful purpose was
the difficulty. At length the manufac-
turing Of sewing thread seemed the
most practicable"
Mr. Hatton had one mouse that ran
the amazing distance of 10 miles a day,
but he proved that an ordinary mouse
could run ten and one-half miles, on
an average. A halfpenny's worth of
oatmeal was SUFFICIENT for it's support
for IS days, during which time it ran
1876 half miles. He had actually two
mice constantly employed in the max
ing of sewing thread for more than a
year. The mouse thread mill was so
constructed that the common house
mouse was enabled to make atone
ment to society for past offenses by
twisting, twining and Keeling from 100
to 12O threads a day. Sundays not ex-
copied
70 perform this task the little pedes-
trian had to run ten and one-half miles
and this journey it performed with
ease every day. A halfpenny's worth
of oatmeal served one of these
thread mill culprits for the long period
of five weeks in that time it had
made 1880 threads of Is inches, and,
as penny was paid to women for ev-
cry hank made in the ordinary way,
the mouse, at that rate, earned 9 pence
every six week, just one farthing a
day, or seven shillings and six pence
a year. Taking six pence of for board
and allowing one shilling for machin-
cry, there was a clear yearly profit
from each mouse Of six shillings.
Mr.. Hatton firmly intended to apply
for the loan of an old empty cathedral
in Dunfermline, which would have
held he calculated, 10000 mouse mills,
sufficient room being left for keepers
and some hundreds Of spectators.
Death, however, overlook the inven-
tor before his marvellous project could
be carried out.-Cincinnati CONNER

How . Thrifty Scotchman Made Com

Think of a thread factory being run

of a fairy story, yet it is not.
Scotch people, as you perhaps know
are noted for their thrift, and one OF
the thriftiest Scotchmen who ever lived
was David Hatton, of Dunfermline, who
actually proved that even mice, those
acknowledged pests of mankind, could
be made not only to earn their own liv-
ing, but also to yield respectable in

CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PE=Ru=NA.
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
E. Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

A woman confined to the mouse 1of
several years with chronic female
arrangement had finally given up hope
of being cured.
She had tried physician after physi-
clan, and remedy after remedy, without
any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband
who was a poor man, hundreds OF dol
lars They had been Obliged to deny
themselves many comforts Of life In
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause Of the want Of a mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that DR.. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp-
toms.
She soon received a letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began tho
treatment (the principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in few weeks she
was well and strong again. able to do
her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may need
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment Will
be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.
Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas
Of Yemassee Council Of Red Men
(Women's Branch), writes from S77
Eighth Ave., New York: .....-
Three months ago I was troubled
with backache and troublesome heavi-
ness about the stomach. Sleep brought
me no rest for 1t was restless sleep.
The doctor said my nervous system
was out Of order, but his prescriptions
didn't seem to relieve me. was told
that Peruna was good for building up
the nervous system. After using It for
two months know now that 1t 10. !

Of me. The torturing symptoms have
all disappeared and feel myselfagain.
Peruna did me more good than all the
other medicines have taken"

Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles.
Louisiana, writes:
Il sincerely believe that Peruna p
woman's best friend, for 1t has certainly
been that to me. I had had headaches.
backaches and other aches every month
for a long time. but shortly after be-
gan taking Peruna this was thing OF
the past, and I have good reason to be
grateful. l take q bottle every spring
and fall now, and that keeps my health
perfect, and certainly am more robust
now than I have been before and am
weighing more. do not think any
one will be disappointed in the results
obtained from the use of Peruna."
