ANOTHER AMUSING PUZZLE
How to Make Fragile Pendulum
Which Will Prove Surprise
to All Who See It.

You know, of course, that if you fill q
tumbler or goblet to the brim, or little
above the brim-for you can "pile up
the water little bit by pouring very
carefully-and then press large card
down tightly on the top of the filled glass
with one hand, grasp the glass with the
other and turn it upside down, you can
take away the hand that holds the card
without splitting drop of water. The
card will stick to the edge of the glass
as if it were glued there, and it will hold
up the glassful of water.
You know, too, that it is the pressure
of the air that supports the card and the
water. The air presses upward on the
lower face of the card with force of Is
pounds for every square inch of surface,
and as the top of the glass measures five
or six square inches, there will be pres
sure of Is or 80 pounds to hold up the
card and water, which weigh only about
half a pound.
1t is only the size of the mouth of the
glass, not the size of the whole card,
that counts, because on the outside part
of the card the air presses up and down
with equal force, and so has no effect.
Now, as the force of the air is many
times stronger than is needed to lift the
water, suppose We make it lift some
thing else in addition, say the heavy
glass.
To do this, press the card on the full
glass as before, but instead of inverting
the glass life up the card by two opposite
corners. If you are very careful and the
card is very stiff you may succeed in lift
ing glass, water, and all in this way, but
the card is apt to bend and let in little
air somewhere, which, Of course, spoils
the trick. Here is better plan.
Make little hole in the middle of
the card, pass a cord through the hole,

FELL INTO THE WATER.

strings and settled down to mouse
catching, they one and all decided that
it would never do to call such staid old
cat such kittenish name. So Myrtle
named her Lady Gray.
AS she grew in size and strength it
seemed to fit her perfectly. She had
beautiful fur of soft silver maltese with
a tiny bow of white under her chin and
a touch of it on one slender paw. She
was very proud Of these marks and took
great care to keep them spotlessly
white
Lady Gray considered the shed her
special property. There was hole cut
through the wall so that she might come
and go when she pleased and her basket
and saucer were always kept in this
room. When she strolled in after
Tommy went out, she spied the rabbits
the very first thing.
"Ho, no. she thought, $50 Tommy has
been hunting, has he? I wondered
where he was going when saw him 60
through the corn field. He frightened
away the gopher I was watching and
never so much as said he was sorry
How would he like to have somebody
scare away his game when he had it al
most caught?"
Lady Gray was an honest cat. She
was proud of the fact and so were all
the family. They often left her alone
in the kitchen within easy reach of the
most delicious smelling dishes and she
never once had touched them. But now
she was hungry and disappointed over
the loss of her gopher. She looked visit
fully at the rabbits.
"They are very fat" she thought.
II wonder if Myrtle will save some for
me. Rabbit stews are very good, so are
rabbits raw
chops. 1T is a long Jump. I never
could make it. There is nothing to cling
to but the rabbits themselves. If fell
I should hurt my head"
Sniff, sniff, she came a little nearer
and little nearer, until she stood be-
meath them. Then she gathered her 1.-the
body together, just as if she were going
to pounce on mouse, and jumped. She
caught the bodies of the rabbits with her
sharp claws and there she hung, swing
ing back and forth, for all the world
like canary in cage. Before she had
time to take so much as bite, the door
opened. and there stood Myrtle.
why, Lady Gray" she said, 81
thought you were an honest pussy"
Poor Lady Gray was so ashamed she
did not know what to do. She wished she
could crawl away. under the barn and
hide. Without ever looking to see
where she was going to land, she jumped
and went head first into pail of water.
She was a sorry sight when she
scrambled out. Tiny rivulets of water
dripped from her pretty fur coat and
she shivered with the cold How she did
wish she had left those rabbits alone.
When Myrtle saw how cold she was,
she stopped laughing and took her into
the kitchen. Then she rubbed her until
her fur was quite dry. But not until
many weeks afterward could she be in
duced to go into the shed and she never
has touched rabbit since. If Tommy
hangs them within reach she rretenGs
not to see them.-Pearl Howard Camp

cHlLDREN's SMALL DEeEITs
Signs Of Depravity in Little Ones
That Bode Ill for Their
Future ..

Natural depravity OF the youthful
mind was fully shown in North side
confectionery store, when three little
girls entered the shop in Indian file
and made Decline for the candy
counter in the rear. Their faces wore
an expression of injured innocence,
says the Chicago Tibune.
"Well. what do you want now?"
the old woman who was proprietor o.
the place inquired.
"Oh," said the eldest girl, barely
seven years old. jerking her elbow ex-
pressively in the direction of one of
her small companions, "she gave you
nickel instead of a cent" The old
woman went behind the counter and
took out tin box containing a num-
Der of coppers. She peered into the
box, she shook it, to make sure there
was no nickel lurking among the other
coins, and then held it under the
noses of the little girls, exclaiming
sharply: 'There, now! Do you see any
nickel there?"
Without replying the girls filed out
expression of hopeless disappoint-
ment
"You wouldn't believe it,, said tho
old woman, bitterly. Il wouldn't be-
lieve it myself if I didn't stand here
all day and see it with my own eyes.
The deceits of children are almost
enough to drive me crazy. They look
you right in the face with angel eyes
and lie to you as easily as if their
tongues were oiled. Many a penny I
lost because l could not believe that
mere babes were trying to swindle me.
When catch them at it they run out
just as those girls did without saying
anything. That does not keep them
from coming back here again, though.
1.-The boys around here are just as
bad as the girls. Half a dozen boys
were in here getting candy one day,
and they had got their candy and
hadn't paid for it, when a boy stuck
his head in the door and shouted:
Say, missus, your sign has tumbled
DOWN. His eyes bulged out as if he
was scared, and my heart gave such a
Jump that I could scarcely get out to
the sidewalk. The sign was all right.
The boys left the store by rear door
while I was looking for the boy. At
forwards they declared that they paid
for the candy when they got it. 1t is
dreadful to think what men and wom-
en- these boys and girls will be when
they grow up"

METUChEM CATHOLICS
REAR A $40, 600 CHURCH.

Three days less than a year after st.
Francis's r, @. church, at Metuchen,
was destroyed by fire, a new st.
Franois's church was depicated here
with solemn and impressive cere-
monies II was while preparing for
the customary Christmas celebration
twelve months z that the church
huildinR caught fire and burned to the
ground. No other explanation of the
cause Of the fire was made. There
were those who knew just who it was
that let fall the spark that wrought
such damage, but her name has v
been emna'ioned. The priest of the
parish Rev. Father John Graham,
commended this course, which was
the oue suggested by the loyalty Of
the young people to each other.
Filled with Christmas tree trim
minRs, the interior of the sacred sdi-
fee was a mass of fame before it was
fully realized that the building was
burning The youuR people, gay and
happy q moment before, ran s~hrieking
from the church and one or two Of
them had narrow escapes. For a time
there was an report that one
girl had persisted.
Father Graham never hesitated for
an instant, but almost before the
rnins had quit smolderina he secured
n, Lease of Washington Hall, and there
the Catholics of st. Franois's pari sh
worshipped until last Sunday, when
they held their first service in the new
building. 1t was regarded as a credit
able accomplishment and one which
caused the people of the borough to
rejoice, without regard to the denom-
national lines.
The settlement of the insurance
took several weeks. Plans lIad to be
prepared and the contract awarded be-
fore the actual work could begin.
The new church home of the Catholics
| cost $40, 600, and it vas constructed
with a view of accommodating the
needs of the parish for many years to
come.
st. Francis's parish includes q large
territory adjacent to Metuchen, and it
all belonged originally to st. Peters
in New Brunswick. The parish is a
strong one. and the way the contribu-
tions for the new church were made
indicates the healthy interest The peo-
pie feel in the work of their church.
Bishop McFaul was present at the
dedication and he spoke warmly of
the good work done.

Aunt Jane tied an old green harese veil
round her head and lay despairingiy
down upon the lounge with her smell
ing salts.
She took heart of grace, however, for
she still believed a little in her bargain,
and begged her aunt to let her display
one of the parasols-only one-in the
shop window. Aunt Jane said she
should expect to be sent to the Insane
asylum, having a parasol in her shop
window in December, but she was SO
discouraged that she did not care.
The parasol had been in the window
only an hour or two when Aunt Jane
was thrown into a futter by the sight
of a very stylish young woman cross
ing the street.
Its Miss Betty Armstrong;" she de-
clared. Il heard the family had come.
with a lot Of visitors, to spend the holt
days. That great house on the hill is
where they spend their summers. I'll
leave you to wait on her, because l
amt dressed up Aunt Jane hurried
into the back room, but she left the
door ajar.
II want to look at that parasol-it's
such a lovely shaded" said Miss Betty
Armstrong, who had come rustling in,
accompanied by a tall young man. 'And
what a delightful handle!" she added,
as Judy passed it acros the counter.
Judy vas glad Aunt Jane had left the
door ajar.
"We ought to have decorations like
this for the girls to carry in the min
strel show" said Miss Betty. It's too
bad we didn't think of it,
Il have q few more" The color
rushed to Judy's temples and her heart
thumped as she drew from the packing
case under the counter, one after an
| other, the parasols she had thought she
would never care to look at again.
They'd be lovely for favors, Aft"
murmured Betty, a~dmiringly. "And to

man had seen the price marked on the

Judy made figures on-a piece of pa
per, knitting her brows; she was try
ng to calculate how much profit her
conscience would allow her to take.

garded her hesitation as business diplo-
