What Would You po7

Do you ever think, when studying
your history. what you would have
done had you been this person or
that? 1t is an easy thing to see where
certain persons made serious mis-
takes. and we naturally think We
would have done differently. II
Julius Caesar had stayed at home that
day instead of going up to the capt
toI-if Napoleon had been content
when he was ruler Of France. instead
of trying to control all Europe-if
Benedict Arnold had remained loyal
to his country instead Of trying to be
tray it to the enemy.
The idea suggests a good game. Let
each player write for ten minutes on
the subject, Some Things Would
Do If l Were President" or Some
Things | Would Do If l Were Gar OF
Russia" In a similar way it may be
supposed that you are a school teach
er, a policeman, a tramp. a dog chas-
ing a rabbit, a man with a hundred
million dollars and no relatives. a boy
in a runaway balloon drifting away
over the ocean, a sailor shipwrecked
on a very small desert island, etc.
When all have written about a
character the fancies are read and

In order to demonstrate that the
earth rotates on it's axis, DR.. Fou-
cault invented that w~ell-known me
chanical toy known as the gyroscope
top. Probably many of you boys have
seen it.
The interesting thing about the
top is that when a string that has
been wound around it has been al
lowed to unroll. giving a rapid rotary
motion to the top, the axis remains
horizontal. although supported only
at one end. so long as the rotary mo-
ton of the top lasts.
You can make a similar experiment
with an ordinary top. Try it.
Take extremely fine, firm Irvine that
will not tangle o catch on anything.
Twist it as closely as possible. with
out knotting it, and slip the end of
the twist over the foot of the top.
Then wind the twisted Irvine around
the top.
Now hold the top and the end of
the twine in your hand in your usual
manner, and giving the top a sudden,
vigorous downward release. causing a
rapid rotary motion.
When the string has entirely IN
wound, see if the top does not con-
tinue for some time tn spin in. a hori-
zontal position, although only sup
ported at one end by the string.

~ A AAZM

Don't let the summer go by, boys
and girls. without having at least one
soap bubble contest. It is too much
fun for you to miss.
1t is a charming sight to see a doz-
en- or so boys and girls on each side
of the lawn or tennis court blowing
bubbles against each other.
Provide the players with clay
pipes tied with pretty ribbons, a diff
ferent color for each side. Give each
side a table with a bowl of soapy
water placed on it. Add a tablespoon
full of ~glycerin to the water. 1t will
heighten the rainbow beauties Of the
bubbles.
Let the girls make the bubbles and
let the boys blow them over against
the opposing side. The game is to see
how many they can blow into the
opponents territory. and how success
fully they can prevent the opponents
bubbles from entering their own ter
ritory.

One of the best sTight-of-hand tricks

lighted candle, which has been pre-.

which has the drawer half pulled out,

handkerchief from the flame and let il

Raphael.

In a cottage in Wibino. Italy, Ra-
phael Sanzio was born. During his
early life he determined to be an
artist. His father undertook to teach
Raphael, but he soon found thai his
son was a better artist than himself,
so he sent him to Perugino. a we'll
known artist. His teacher, however,
discovered that he was not competent
to teach young Sanzio. Raphael paint
ed many sacred pictures. among which
are The Holy Family" and The
TRANSPORTATION of Christ"
In 1903 he was directed by the Pope,
Julius II, to paint upon the walls of st.
Peters, which he did very cleverly.
He died of fever in 1920. and the world
lost one of its greatest painters.

Significance Of Recent s~enefactIons
to Colleges.
After all, the principal use Of the
college Is as a place where the lex
generation is to get right ideas of
what is worth while in life itself. The
e facts which, to the ignorant.
e the advantages of education. are
OF minor Importance. We hear much
in the periods of college commence
ments OF the necessities of the mod
ern university in the way of enlarged
endowments and increased equipment.
Some of this talk is, of course. rea-
sonable enough. 1t is addressed main
ly to the rich as a demand for the
recognition by them of a duty Of gen.
crosby, one which in our days has
had a most remarkable response. But
apparatus is an impossible substitute
Tor ideals, and the best endowment
OF a college is the character of its
graduates. The $1,000 bequest, for
example, to his Alma Mater, which
the will of the late William H. Bald
win contained, was small if consider
ed as a mere matter of money, but his
character and the ideals Of public
service which his life expressed form

NEW USES FOR HYPNorIsm.
Able to Cure Alcohol and Tobacco
indulgence.


A London hypnotist who says he Is
able to cure the appetite for liquor
explains the method as follow=' so
merely sag. You will feel an tnteuse
antlpathy to wine, beer and spirits;
but. Of course, this can't be done with
out their consent. One of our so
ciety told the son Of a dipsomantac
that II he drank he would be sick
and for six years he has not touched
liquor. 1t is the same with smot-
ing. This same doctor had a patiebt
who, whenever he was not eating oe
sleeping, was smoking. He there
fore hypnotized him. saying: If you
ever put a pipe or cigar into your
mouth you will be sick. He then woke
him and watched him fill his pipe. He
put It between his lips, but he became
sick Immediately. The patient has not
smoked since, nor shown any wish to
smoke.
"Dr. Jung, of The Hague" says this
hypnotist, has treated ~forty-one
%drunkards, and has had nineteen COM
plete cures. The suggestion aids IN
establishing self-control, not in estab-
lishing a mere negative feeling toward
artnk. DR.. Milne Bramwell has made
t~wenty-eight cures, while Tokarsky OF
Moscow has treated 700 patients and
had so per cent of cures. Fifteen to
twenty suggestions are usually sufh-

Suggestion in the treatment of dis

neglected, but it is u aim to have 1t
restored. How much OF the benefit is
derived from faith and how much
from psychic force we have yet to
learn. Five thousand years ago India

mo- disoern Drawn Cards

Turn unperceived the bottom card
of a pack face upward; then let sew
eral of the company draw a card. Re
verse the pack rapidly, so that the
bottom is now the top card, and thus
all the other cards are turned face
upwards, unseen by the spectators.
Hold the pack firmly in your fin.
gers, and request those who have
drawn to replace their cards in the
pack. Thus all the drawn cards win
lie with their faces downward, while
the other cards will lie with their
faces upward. Step aside. select the
