You will understand that with noise,

MAGICAL EXPERIMENT.
Feat That Any Boy May Perform to
Astonish Friends or Entertain
His Elders.

Here is little feat that any boy can
perform and yet it looks like trick of
a 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 water, and that you are going
to empty the goblet by means of the
bottle without taking drop Of water
from the latter.
This is the way to prepare for it: With
q red-hot wire bore two holes through a
cork and into them insert two straws,
one of them extending above the cork
as high as the goblet is deep, the other
about twice as high.
Now, with little kneaded bread or
wax close to 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 goblet Of water
on the table before you, and also basin
Or bowl and pair of scissors. Hold the
goblet over the basin with your left
hand and with your right turn the bot
tie upside down, putting the shorter
straw inside the goblet AS you do this
have some one take the scissors and cut
of 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
hottie so that the short straw will reach
aown to the bottom of the goblet.
This is simply the operation of a
siphon.-Chicago Chronicle.

CHAIN OF SUGGESTION.
One Barber After the Other Had an
Idea to Offer the Pcrtinaci0us
Customer. -

"A man up in my country had mclan-
Frye, of Maine. "This man determined to
get a shave every other day and to let
every barber cut his hair who suggested
it. At the end of a week three different
BARRIERS had intimated that the hair need.
ed trimming and were told to go ahead
and TRIM As the hair was now beyond
the trimming stage, the fourth barber'e

was accepted. Now thought the man,

nothing more. Yet when the fifth barber
mentioned 'singeing' he permitted his close.
ly-cropped hair to be singed. The sixth
night was on Saturday. He went to still
another barber, now satisfied that when
he said shave no barber would have the
temerity to hint at an attempt to reduce
the length of his hair.

inside in order to fasten in windows,
to tack up curtains, and to complete
various other arrangements for the
comfort of her cats. Nearly the whole

of port-cochere, on the roof of which
the cats like to lie and sun themselves,
and underneath which their hammock
can be hung.
One day, when the cats mistress was
inside the tiny house, sitting on the
floor and hard at work, Buff came in,
jumped up on crossbeam high in his
house, and stretched his head up as If
to look out of the little gable window.
well, Buff" said the mistress, you
shall have an upstairs, since you want
it so badly" So she put in a sort of
floor up there, leaving an opening, Of
course. with shelf half way up, at the
back of the first floor room, to serve as
cat stairway. When Buff and Bounc-
er go to their second story they jump
up or this shelf-stair, then easily
spring through the opening into their
attic room. There is piece of thick
carpet for them to lie on, and there
they love to stay, doing or looking
lazily out of their little front window.
The little house is further fitted up
with a movable fight Of steps, which
stand sometimes at the front, some
times at the side of the piazza. but
which, you may be sure, Buff and
Bouncer do not stop to use. 1t also
has a hammock and a bedstead for
each cat. And Buff and Bouncer will
lie in the hammock, allow themselves
to be tucked in bed, or ride in their
carriage-a doll carriage-and seem to
enjoy themselves hugely. They will
also sit up in little chairs at small
table and eat, though they much prefer
their customary way. One has his dish
set on the floor of the piazza, and gen.
orally dimes there; the other has his
dish on the upper balcony or roof OF
the piazza.
They seem to like to lie and sleep in
or take ride in their carriage, though,
of course, they have to take turns. And
they like to lie in their hammock when
their mistress puts them there-that Is,
they will lie still and pretend to sleep,
and have never said they didn't like
it, which is a pretty sure sign that it Is
agreeable to them, don't you think so?
In the winter this home of Buff and
Bourcer is closed and covered with
canvas and oilcloth to keep it from be-
ing spoiled by storms and snowdrifts.
At that Indictment season these wise
Boston cats prefer to live in the warm,
coy kitchen of the big house; so you
see what aristocrats they are. They
not only have a home all their own.
but it is their summer home, their
resort, to which they 60 as soon as the
spring weather begins and which is

Mr.. Mill says
