A Toy EIectroscope.

Some very pretty experiments may
be made with the simple apparatus
herein described. An ingenious boy
can make all the necessary prepara-
tions and without expense.
Get piece of wire about six inches
in length and bend two inches of 1t
down at right angles. Then bend the
other end. also at right angles, but in
a direction opposite to the first.
Place the upper horizontal branch
OF the wire on the rim of an ordinary
glass tumbler, and let 1t hang there
SO that the vertical part of the wire
shall not touch the inside of the glass.
Over the lower branch of the wire
hand piece of tin foil, and then place
on top of the glass an ordinary tin
plate.
Now what you have to do is to cleo
trify the tin foil. and this you can do
by rubbing a glass rod, or a stick OF
sealing wax, with a wooden cloth and
holding 1t close to the tin plate, when
the two ends of the tin foil will fly
apart suddenly. This shows that you
have electrified the foil by means of
the electricity awakened in the glass
rod or sealing wax by rubbing 1t.

rh. Manic Penknife.

Take any good-sized dark bottle,
like a champagne bottle. and an ordi-
nary penknife. You should, before
hand, prepare length of fine, strong
black thread. Wax one end of it for
two or three inches and roll this end
up into wad, which you should slip
in where it will be caught between
the butt of the blade and the knife
handle when you open the knife. Be-
fore you do this, and while you are
allowing your audience to inspect the
knife, have the waxed end of the
thread stuck to a button or some
other hard object on your clothes
where it will not be noticed and will
be handy when you want it.
Having gotten the waxed end fas-
tened to the knife as described drop
the knife down into the bottle, sit
down before the bottle, and while
you are talking quietly pin the other
end of the thread to your dress or
trousers so that by a mere motion
of your leg you can cause the knife
in the bottle to move up and down.
Now inform your audience that the

in the diagram, and to the right side
OF each of the outer corks small
piece of gum camphor is fastened by
means of sealing wax. If the corks
are now placed on the surface of water
they will turn in the direction of the
arrow for several days. The expert
ment may be made more amusing by
attaching two little figures, repre-
senting a waltzing couple to the CEN
trail cork.
The smallest trace of grease will pre-
vent the motion. The hands should
be washed carefully before making
the apparatus, and If 1t still refuses
to work 1t should be held with pincers
and dipped III weak ammonia tc re
move any particle of oil.

dear old Billy Binss.
I'll never love him as / used to love my

For. now he has new head and legs

My Billy had the brownest eyes that ever
have been seen
And this new head has eyes of blue
but. no. l think they're green!
His hairs now brown and crimpy, while
1t used to be pure gold:
He used to have baby face. and now 1t
looks quite old.
His legs were dmpled. chubby things,
and now they're stiff and squeak
Like forty-leven buzzing saws, though
they've been on a week.
He used to have such cunning feet, with
really baby toes
And now his feet have pointed shoes he
wears where'er he goes.
Now. tell me- mothers. would it be the
very same to you
II they should cut your baby up to give
IL features new?
And don't you think perhaps you'd shed
some bitter tears,
II they should hurt your precious child

My Billys dead: I'll never love another
doll again.
His arms and body now are all OF Billy
that remain.
And while IN always love each scrap
belonging to my boy,
My Billy's gone. and all that's left Is just

How the Bear Got His Short Tall,

A Norwegian fable satisfactorily ac-
counts for the short tail of the bear.
The bear, it seems. was once met by
the fox, who carried load of fishes.
and who in answer to the question
how he had obtained them, replied
that he had obtained them by fishing.
The bear expressed a desire to know
an art so useful. when the fox in
formed him that he had only to make
hole in the ice, and insert his tail

mind if it hurts you little" said the

Congressman Lacey of Iowa, tells
how a specimen of young America
upset him on one occasion. Mr..
Lacey was endeavoring to show his
audience that great evil was sure to
result from the Wilson tariff bill and
dwelt on the alleged fact that capital
lists were afraid to invest their
money. 81 ask any one of you gentle

suddenly a youngster. sitting on he

Judge Lacey. I'D buy tombstone"
was the answer. and such roar of
laughter went up that Mr.. Lacey was
forced to cut short his remarks.

sensions that led to the overthrow of
Irish independence. The king held an
assembly of the kings and princes of
Ireland at Tara in 554 at which Cur.

slew nobleman. By ancient usage,
such an offense. committed at such an
assemblage, was punishable by death.
knowing his fate under the civil law,
Curnan fled to Columcille for refuge.
This the saint endeavored to give him,
but in spite of Columcille's opposition,
Curnan was seized by Dairmait and
hanged. The northern Hui Neill, who
We're the kinsmen of Columcille, took
his part against Dairmait, and defeat
ed him in battle, A. d. 555. But Diar-
matt did not withdraw his refusal to
recognize the right of the church to
give sanctuary to offenders against
the civil power, and when one of his
heralds had been killed by the chief
of Hui Maine, who sought refuge with
st. Ruadan of Lothra, Diarmait siezed
the offender by force. Thereupon the
saint, accompanied by st. Brendan of
Birr, followed the king to Tara and
cursed the place so effectually that
after 55S, when Diarmait died, Tara
was deserted, never again becoming
the seat Of regal power, and never
again being the place of assembly of
the kings and princes of Ireland.
According to Irish historians the
celebrity Of Tara goes back to 800 or
$50 years before the Christian era. In
that dim past, they assert, when the
mainland of Europe was overrun by
barbarians, Ireland was under the
rule of law. The triennial convention
known as the Fes of Tara was estab-
lished by Ollam Fodlah at that time.
When business was over, the princes
sat down to a banquet, each below his
shield, suspended on the wall by the
chief herald in the order of precedency
Of it's owner. In the reign of Cormac,
the palace of Tara was 900 feet
square, containing $50 apartments and
as many dormitories, each with ac-
comodations for sixty sleepers. Hun
dreds of guests were daily entertained
in the hall.
The desertion of Tara, after the
curse, put an end to the idea of cen.
trail government, which had taken firm
root. 1t entrenched the tribal system,
perpetuated the disintegration of the
Irish, and made them an easier prey
to foreign conquerors.

the early days, land the state which
he founded on the eternal principle Of
religious liberation. Tie American

in winning the liberty and in framing
the constitution of the country which

The great doctrines of the Declaration
may be clouded and hidden only, as
we hope, to shine again with new
and brighter lustre when the clouds
have passed by. The constitution may
be amended or altered or disregarded
or may perish. Other forms Of rule
may take the place of the simple but
sublime mechanism our fathers de-
vised. But the nation shall abide. The
one principle which holds this nation
