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

Here is a little feat that any boy can
perform and yet it looks like trick OF
magician. II you wish to entertain a
company with it tell them that you have
bottle and 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
4 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
bottle so that the short straw will reach
down to the bottom of the goblet.
This is simply the operation Of q

We were lucky enough to be present at
the wedding of rich peasant girl of
the province Of st. Georgen, in the Black
forest. The bride. Cresenz B., wore the
wonderful head-dress which girls Of that
district have been married in from time
immemorial; crown, twice the height
of her head and wide as her shoulders,
one solid mass of tinsel flowers, beads
and bright-colored glass balls like
Christmas-tree ornaments. A wide
starched ruff encircled her neck, and her
green silk apron was half-covered with
floating ribbons of every bright color.
Silver-gilt chains laced her bodice, but
here the splendor ended. Sober wooden
stuff, warranted to wear a lifetime, and
coarse, handknit stockings completed
her visible costume.
Johann, the bridegroom, was very sim
pie in attire, save for red waistcoat and
green tie.

once wrote Heine, the famous lyric poet
and his words can be commended to tn,
notice Of men who are inclined to doub
a woman's love because she lacks tina
effusiveness SO characteristic Of tn,
sentimental girl.
There is certain type Of lover who l,

that he is the dearest fellow in existencei
that the world would be q dreary plac,

Such assurances, Of course, may b.
made with all sincerity, but the possible
tiles are that they are not. Earnest ant
enduring love Is usually silent and un
demonstrative. A gentle pressure of thu
hand, and kind, loving look, full d
consideration and meaning, are far mort
eloquent than words, and, in the major

it is against her nature to be otherwise;

happiness in these silent tokens than IL

JAPANESE TERRApIN.
Experts to Study Methods Of
Culture In Far East.

The United States fsh commission
has sent an expert to Japan for the
purpose of studying terrapin culture
as practised in that country, where they
seem to nave succeeded in breeding the
turtles by artif1ce. It is true that the
Japanese terrapin is not the same spe-
cies 40 ours, but its habits are similar.
and there is reason to suppose that
like methods of culture might be sue
cessful in the United States, says the
New York Herald.
The matter Is Of no small i'm.
portance, inasmuch as our terrapin IL
on the verge of extinction. 1t used to
be vastly numerous, especially in the
neighborhood Of the Chesapeake, and
in 1850 diamond backs sold in Balti-
more for 1211 cents apiece. But they
have been literally hunted almost to
the point Of determination. and at the
present time they fetch $50 dozen.
The japanese species, which is said
to be equal to our own In flavor, is
known as the ''suppon." and, like the
American terrapin, is an inhabitant Of
tidal waters and salt marshes. Arti-
fetal ponds with a muddy bottom are
employed for rearing purposes, with
low fence to prevent the turtles from.
escaping. The pond is shallow, and at
laying time, in early summer, the fe-
males climb out on the bank, scratch a
shallow hole and deposit their eggs,
finally covering them up and leaving
them to be Matched by the heat Of the
sun. Nets are spread to prevent birds
from digging up the eggs.
