"Old Uncle Jed" was SO fond OF his
coppers as TO have acquired the repu-
tation in Efillville of being "leetle

ture comforts. Somehow it taxed his
ingenuity to reconcile these conflicting
tastes.
The citizens of Millville were muc4
addicted to entertainments of a so

tion parties" aud Uncle Jed was al
most invariably one of the partici-
pants. He sacrificed his desire for
economy. however, by fasting for a

A GOOD TRICK.
Swinging a Glass Of Water Held by
Flat Piece Of Cardboard.

We all know that when we cover a
drinking glass quite full OF water with
a sheet of stout paper in such man
ner that not single bubble of air re-
mains between the liquid and the
sheet, the paper will cling to the rim
of the tumbler, on account OF the pres
sure of the atmosphere. closely enough
to enable us to turn the glass upside
down without the water being able to
escape. The following is one applica-
tion Of this principle;
Attach a string to the center of a
square of cardboard covering a glass
by means of simple knot on the in
side, and securely seal the aperture
with wax so that no air may gain an
entrance.
Now suspend the glass by means OF
this string to hook fixed to the cell
ing, and you will have pendulum that
you may safely swing without the dan
ger OF the glass falling, the whole day
if desired.
The experimenter will do well to
grease the rim Of the glass. so that no
