FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How a Bright Boy May Perform Mag
ic With Siphon.

Here is little feat that any boy
can perform and yet it looks like a
trick of magician. If you wish to
entertain a company with it, tell
them that you have a bottle and a
goblet, both full to the brim of wa
ter, and that you are going to emp
ty the goblet by means of the bottle
without taking drop of water from
the latter.
This is the way to prepare for 1t:
With a redhot wire bore two holes
through a cork and into them in
sert two straws, one of them extend
ing above the cork as high as the
goblet is deep, the other about twice
as high.
Now, with little kneaded bread
or wax close the upper end OF the
shorter straw and then force the
cork into the mouth of the bottle
until the water spurts out through
the longer straw.
Meanwhile you have the goblet Of
water on the table near you and also
a basin or bowl and pair Of scls-
sors. Hold the goblet over the basin
with your left hand and with your
right hand turn the bottle upside
down, putting the shorter straw IN
side the goblet. As YOU do this have
some one take the scissors and cut
off the closed end of the shorter
straw. Water will at once begin to
run out of the longer straw into the
basin and will continue to run until
the goblet is empty. You must, OF
course, hold the bottle so that the
short straw will reach down to the
bottom of the goblet.
This is simply the operation of a
siphon.

The Wily Giraffe.

Perhaps the most difficult of all
wild animals to capture is the 81
rafTe. In addition to being very
rare, giralTcs are exceedingly timld
and are very swift footed. There is
no special way to capture giraffe,
as almost every way has been tried,
and all have been almost equally
unsuccessful. The method which
has occasionally resulted in cap
ture is by using long cord, at each
end of which is a round weight.
This cord is thrown by the hunter
in such Il manner as to wind round
the animals LEGS, either bringing it
to ground or rendering it incapable
of escaping before it is made a pri>-
Oner. Most of the giraffcs in captiy-
ity have been caught by chance
when young.

Literature and Art In japan.


Literature has handed down no tales
in Japan better loved than those which
embody the tenderness of women. Their
charms are sung in the brightest verses
and in the exquisite art before which
the world bows woman has furnished
chief inspiration. OF the sovereigns of
Japan nine have been women, one of
them, Jingu, the conqueror of Korea,
having been deified. Images of Kwan-
non, goddess of mercy draw the pray
ers of the people all over the land, and
the sun goddess, the chief deity of ia
pan mythology, symbolized in the mir
ror that occupies central place in every
Shinto temple, compels the worship Of
all followers of that faith, including
the imperial household and the mika-
do himself. In the eleventh century,
when it was considered learned for
men to devote themselves to Chinese,
literature in the Japanese language
had women as it's chief opponents.
Among the fruits of that period was
"Genji Monogatzari," one of the most
celebrated classics in the language,
and the many other works then pro
duced by women contributed not lit
tie to confirm Japanese as the literary
language of this people.

Could Do Better.

Some years ago there lived in coun
try town an old man who had pro
pensity for stealing small and portable
articles that came in his way.
AS he was poor and past labor and
well known about town, no further no
tice was taken of his populations than
to keep a sharp lookout when he was
about.
A dealer had a quantity of dry fish
landed on the wharf at an hour toe
late to get them into his shop, and as
he was about covering them with a
piece of sailcloth he espied old Brown
apparently accommodating.

Here, Brown, l must leave these
fish out here tonight, and l will give
you these two if you promise me that
you will not steal any,"
"That is fair offer, Mr.. Allen, but
we'll, I don't know" with a glance at
the offered fish and then at the pile;
