Candies from a kerchlef.

TO perform this trick well before a
small party is to become at once
the hero of the evening. The per-
former hands the audience a des-
sert plate and a cambria handkerchief
for examination. These being returned,
he places the plate upon a table near
him. The handkerchief is then spread
out quite fiat over the plate. At COM
mand candies, nuts and raisins pour
into the dessert plate the instant the
handkerchief is lifted mp, producing an
effect that might well have astonished
even the magician OF old.
The way tt is done is this: Make a
calico bag large enough to hold the
nuts and sweetmeats you intend to dis
tribute exactly to the pattern of a
nighteap or the letter A. "A small sell
wage is turned VI. at the bottom of the
bag. Get two pieces Of w%atchspring
and bend them duite fiat, each spring
to be exactly half the diameter of the
bag. These are put into the selvage
and sewn UP, giWhen the bag is
opened. it will close. itself, in. conses
lquenee Of the spr'ngsa IA long pin is
passed through the top of the bag and
bent round, hook shape. If the bag
now be-flled with candies etc. 1t may
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-06-07

The Magic Shower of Sweets.
be suspended by the hook without any
danger of the nuts or anything else
falling out, because, although the
mouth of the bag is downward, the
springs keep it shut.
When this trick is to be shown, the
prepared bag is hung on the side of the
table that is away from the audience.
The plate is also placed on that side,
and when the handkerchief is laid
over the plate a portion is left to fall
over the side of the table. Now the
handkerchief is picked up with the
right hand in the center, Just as a
lady does when she wishes to exhibit
the lace edges, and with it the bag Of
candies, the folds of the cambria hid
ing the bag. The left hand is now
used to draw over the handkerchief
and to press the bag. This causes
the springs to open, and out falls the
good things upon the plate. This
causes sufficient diversion for the mer-
est tyro of a conjuror to drop the
bag behind the table unseen, while he
advances to the audience, politely in
quiring, "Will you take a few sweet
meats?"

JUDGE KNEW THAT DODGE.

But the Prisoner Had Another
Scheme Behind II.
Your worship" said the willy So
%licitor, who was defending the stall
wart prisoner in the dock, you cannot
possibly convict my client of house
breaking. submit, sir, with all rev.
erence, that neither morally MOI legal
ly can you convict him. / will tell
you why.
"Mr. Skies here. as the evidence
clearly proves, did not break into any
house at all. He found the parlor
window open, as the witnesses admit.
and all he did was to put in his right
arm and remove some unimportant ar
ticles.
Now. sir, Llr. Skies arm is not he
himself, and / fan to see how you a
punish the whole individual for a fault
committed by only one OF his limbs"
Very well, sir" said the cautious
Scion of the bench. 81 have heard of
q similar defense before to-day, SO 1
find the prisoners arm guilty and sen
tence 1t to six months Imprisonment.
The gentleman himself can accom-
