Farm houses of the better class NOWADAYS are
commonly provided with bath rooms and running

Within the last few weeks the Government has
taken first step in the direction of the establish

A School on Wheels

A LREADY there is in existence in this country
n one movable school of housewifery of the sort
described, which has been established by an agri-
cultural institute in Virginia. The work it does is
called domestic science teaching and the instruc-
ton it gives comprises cooking, plain sewing dress
making, and other household arts. Several teachers
employed, who go from place to place. each one
carrying the necessary equipment in buggy. They
give talks school children, which illustrated
in a practical way, the vegetables utilized iii the
culinary processes being supplied in many instances
from school gardens managed by the boys and girls.
This plan for the special training of farmers
children is merely the latest development of the
great movement which during the last few years
has elevated the industrious agricuturist plane
far higher than he has hitherto occupied. AS
type he is to-day different possible from what
he generation ago. In appearance and dress
he is not easily distinguished from the every day

and even dabbles in scientific matters where they

And finally, illustrate the prosperity he enjoys,

DERHAPS the most renlarka BILE phase OF modern
II social development is exhibited in the great
change which within the last few years has
taken place in the condition of the American farmer
He is no longer man aloof from most of the
Invites of the world-ignorant of its larger affairs
and pursuing sort of vegetative existence, with
small opportunity to make the best OF the brains he
possesses and condemned, together with his wife
and family, to all of the multitude OF discomforts
incidental to a relative isolation. A order of
things has arrived, and he finds himself to-day
possessed of practically all the advantages which
are enjoyed by the dweller in cities.
For example, there is the telephone which the
farmers have shown themselves both able and willing
to install and manage The extent to which this has
already been accom- pished is by means generally
farnsteads in the United States are provided with
telephones, which a rule have been put in by
farmers cooperative associations formed for the
purpose, the subscribers many instances cutting
the poles and stringing the wires themselves. The
fundamental patents having out, they are able
to purchase the requisite instruments without diff
The rental charge never exceeds dollar month,
while, where the simplest outfits are installed it is
sometimes less than four dollars year.
Expansion of the Service
THE beginning of rural telephone system is
combination of few farmers, who are enabled
arranged calls, each subscriber recognizing certain
rings. Next, line is pushed out to connect with
another group not far distant; and after awhile
communication is established with the nearest
town. Naturally, congeries of little systems thus
started is likely to develop eventually into a big
system with first class service, covering a wide
area and reaching many points far from the rail-
roads and inaccessible by telegraph.
Indeed, in parts of Indiana and Ohio, within the
territory embraced by some of the larger systems,

the wires to the individuals for whom they are
intended. On some OF the systems at certain hour
of the day, all circuits thrown open and Central"

latest editions OF the newspapers, including market
reports and weather predictions, every subscriber

the farmers get the advantage OF the freshest in

vantage to them enabling them, for example, to
know just when to send kind of produce or
another to the city, when, let say to take in
their hay in expectation of coming storm.

Burglar Trick" he went on, and it is one of
the most amusing ones know, though not at
all difficult.
First we shall pick out three jacks and one
king to use for characters in our story. The
three jacks are three bold and daring burglars
and the king IS policeman who is trying to
catch them. The rest of the pack of cards is
the house the burglars intend to rob.
They stealthiy creep up, and one burglar
enters by the cellar window" AS he said
this. Uncle Bob put one jack at the bottom of
the pack Zone climbed in at the parlor win
dow" Here he inserted another jack in the
middle of the pack. And the third burglar
climbed to the roof and entered through the
placed at the top of the pack. Of course, all
the cards of the pack were backs uppermost.
The policeman saw the last burglar clam
bering down through the skylight, so he climbed
down after him. Here Uncle Bob placed the
king on top of the jack which had been placed
on the pack last.
Now" he proceeded, 1.-THE policeman has
been clever enough to catch all three of the
wicked burglars. But of course, to do so,
greatly upset the house. Lucy, to represent
the upsetting of the house, will you please cut
the pack?"
Lucy did SO, and then Uncle Bob turned the
pack over, face up, and spreading the cards
apart, showed the three jacks and the king
all together. Why" cried Lucy. "how could
they get together, when l saw you put them
in three different parts of the pack!"
A Clever Policeman
TIL show you again what a clever police
1 this is, went on Uncle Bob. He told
the three rogues that he would take them to
the station house. With that, they started
running, and hid from the policeman in an old
warehouse. One hid in the cellar. one in the
second story, and the other behind chimney
on the roof"
Again. as he spoke. he put the three jacks
at the bottom, middle, and top of the pack.
then. laying the king on the top jack, he said,
" But the policeman collared the fellow on the
roof, and then skipped down through the
house and caught the other two"
And sure enough. after both the children
had cut the cards. Uncle Bob spread them
out, and there were the policeman and his
three prisoners all together again.
Its fine trick!' cried Fred enthusi-
astically. do tell US how to do it. please,
uncle"
Its so easy, you ought to guess it for your
self; but this is the way it's done. Before you
begin your story. privately place the other
jack of the pack, the fourth one, at the ottom
of the pack. Then when you place one of
your three burglar jacks also at the bottom,
take care not to lift the pack high enough to
show this. Then put jack in the middle of

not just the same three that were selected
to be the burglars.
ooh, that's lovely trick" said Lucy" but
it's short one. Do show us another, pleaser'
Well, just one more. Here's good one !:
but you must pay close attention. Draw
card, one of you; but don't let me see it."
Uncle Bob spread the pack, fanwise, backs
up, and Lucy pulled one out. 1t was the six
of spades.
Look at it well, both of you, so you'll re-
member it. Now return it to the pack. Slip
it in anywhere"
Lucy slipped the card in among the others.
and then, turning the cards face uppermost.
Uncle Bob asked the children to make sure it
was still there and that they remembered it.
Yes, we see it, said Fred.

Crisis of the Trick

THEN Uncle Bob put both hands behind him,
still holding the pack, and in moment
he said, a." command the card you selected to
nail itself to the doorl"
as it hit it, every. card dropped to the floor,
except the six of spades which remained
staring at them, tightly nailed to the door
"Whew! that beats all the rest" cried Fred.
DO it again, uncle"
Again they selected a card, careful that
Uncle Bob should not see it. Again they
tucked it back in the pack.
Uncle Bob put the pack behind him for a
few seconds. then with a quick motion he
flung the pack at the door again. And sure
nailed up beside the six of spades.
That's the loveliest trick you ever showed
us, said Lucy; "but l don't believe could
do it, even if you show me how"
Oh yes, you can. It's really very simple.
First, you must ascertain what card is picked
out from the pack. As | have told you before,
there are several ways to do this; but one of
the simplest is, after the card is drawn, bend
the rest of the pack by its two ends until it is
slightly curved. You can do this without being
noticed, if you just hold the pack carelessly
in your two hands, and bend the ends toward
each other Then when the straight or unbent
card is returned to the pack you can discern
it in an instant Then get it to the bottom of
the pack, or rather, the top, as it must have its
face toward the pack.
Have in your pocket small sharp thumb
tack, such as you can get at any stationery
shop. With your hands behind you, stick this
tack through the chosen card SO that the head
of the tack will be on the back of the card.
Then place the rest of the pack on the back of
the prepared card. and bring your hands to
the front again. Dash the pack against the
door, and the force of the pack itself will drive
the tack into the wood. Of course, all the cards
except the tackled one will fall to the floor in
stantly, and that will remain in full view"
