FOR THE CHILDREN
The Mnrio Gnn Ict.

To perform the first trick successful
" and astonish your friends with it
you must have a convenient gas burner
fitted with a metal tip, not lava one.
If the tip is not metal do not make the
experiment, as that is essential to its
success.
If therefore you have the metal tip
tell the spectators that you propose to
make the gas burn through a handker-
chief and leave the handkerchief unin-
jured.
OF course they will not have suhi-
cient confidence In your magical pow.
ers to lend you a handkerchief for the
experiment, so you must have one Of
your own ready. Tie it tight around
the burner, then turn on the gas and
light ii, and you will find that 1t will
burn with the usual steady fame with
out even scOrching the handkerchief.
After allowing it to burn for a little
while turn off the gas and, having tax
en- of the handkerchief, pass it around
for examination. The reason the hand
kerchief does not burn is because the
lower part of the fame has not much
heat and that little is conducted rapid
ly away by the metal tip. With any
other but a metal tip the handkerchief
would be scorched.

Many people feel a remarkable re-
pugnance or even dread for spiders.
This in many cases at least is due to
the supposed venom In their bite. Yet,
except the famous tarantula, no spi-
ders really infiict a painful, wound.
Tales Of fearsome black spiders are
common enough. One Of the spiders
known as Zine weavers" is reputed to
have very poisonous bite. To test the
truth of this, one authority on spiders
repeatedly allowed himself to be bit
ten, yet suffered no Inconvenience. In
the early and barbarous days OF med
ical practice a spider was frequently
applied TO the wrists of patients suf-
fering from fever.

A NOnagenarian Younger
Than Many Women
of Sixty

The tendency of civilized people to-
day is to live longer than their ances-
tors did ard at the same time preserve
their powers in full vigor A remark
able example of this is Mrs. Lemuel
Bangs, president of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church Home For Aged Women
in New York city.
Mrs. Bangs is now we'll into the
ninety-second year Of her age, yet many
a woman Of sixty is far more decrepit
and, so far as all the real activities Of
life go, is generations older than she.
This wonderful nonagenarian does all
the marketing and catering for her
family, because she likes to be certain
they are well fed and cared for. She
keeps abreast Of current events and
literature and delights in reading aloud
to others. Whenever a picnic or party
Of any kind is on Mrs. Bangs is count
ed in as much as the youngest member
of the family.
Perhaps the main thing that keeps
Mrs. Bangs alive and young is the fact
that she is and has always been inter
ested in all that goes on in the world.
She does not even have her daughter
write her letters for her, as SO many
mothers do, but attends to her cor
respondence herself. She takes a daily
bath in cold water like a young athlete
and simply eats what is set before her
making no to do about It.
No doubt much Of this venerable
lady's vigor and genuine youthfulness

Social Etiquette Makes Them Walk

New York. April 20-women are far
less graceful than men, have a poorer
anatomical mechanism, and skirts are
chiefly useful TO hide the ugly angles
at the female knee, according TO the
opinion of DR.. 70. H.. Arnold. director
Of the New Haven normal school of
gymnastics. as expressed at the con-
vention OF the American Physical Edu-
cation Association. He thought dancing
was very much more valuable scien-
tifically for women than for men as
strengthening the weakest portions Of
their frames. DIR. Arnold denounced
the social etiquette which bade women
trip with mincing steps and forbade
them to run and jump so that the cir
culation of the blood In the lower
limbs was impeded He advocated the
hopping dance, saying that the social
dance. with It's glide or walk is useless
