can be very pleasant They are hos

considered to be the case, they pos

but it is a peculiar humor."
'In what way peculiar, Mr.. Col
quhoun?"
"Well, there are curious twists II

think il comical TO see a corpse on
the roadside, and they find cause f.
amusement in the worst misfortune:
of their friends. But apart from
these singularities they have a sense

How to Light a Pair Of Candles With.

Two candles are brought BY the
performer TO her table. She begs
the pardon Of her audience for
bringing them on unlit and says she

pretending 10 hear a remark that
there's nothing remarkable in light
ing candles in that fashion, she
merely cries, CHATS So"
Then she waves her wand and
touches each wick with il; then she
brings the wicks together, when
each candle instantly flames up and
continues TO burn, says the Delinea-
tor.
The secret of this trick lies in a
previous preparation Of the wicks
Of the candles. One Is treated with
preparation Of chlorate Of potas-
stun and sugar, and the extreme enl
of the other Is moistened with sui
phuric acid.
The acid should not be applied to
the latter until few moments BE-
fore the candles are brought from
behind the screen OF from whatever
other place the performer goes in,o
