Marcellne, Famous Clown, Tells How
to Hang Trapeze.

From the Billboard.
Every boy wants to play circus during
the summer days in the back yard or on
a nearby lot Now is the time to plan
and get ready for it. Before you learn
how to lay out your ring and arrange
acts, you must be ready yourself II
you are to be a clown who Will make
people laugh at his funny antics, his rails
and his merry mishaps. you must Dc
strong and acrobatic. Many OF you De-
long to gymnasiums, and this is of great
value to you To 90 the falls that do
to make you laugh you must know now
SO as not to hurt yourself. Anyway, the
first tricks to accomplish are those on a
trapeze, for when you give circus this
can be easily attached to tree, and you
can get a lot of fun, as some real hard
stunts can be gotten out of it.
The best place to put trapeze for
winter practice is in the cellar. Buy six
yards of good strong rope-not clotnes-
line, but something like the cord you see
at the sides of windows. Then get two
very strong screw hooks-about three
inches Is a good size. For your bar, do
not make the mistake so many boys do
and use a broomstick. It is not strong
enough to hold. Get from carpenter or
a wheelwright, If there is one near you.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1909-02-28

a hickory bar about two inches in cir
conference and not less than two feet
long. Do not paint, but before tying the
ends sandpaper 1t carefully or go over
the surface with a piece of glass until
1t is perfectly smooth. It would be best
to let your father or big brother place
the screws in the beams, and to these
fasten your rope. Before this you must
get the ends securely tied on either end
of the bar. It would be safer to drive two
sharp staples through the rope into the
bar to keep It from slipping. Your swing
is now complete.
For safety in practicing you should have
a mat. If you cannot get an old mattress
secure some excelsior from the drug store
get two pieces of old carpet or bagging
and pack the excelsior between very firm
ly, putting most of 1t in the center-keep
packing it until 1t looks like a pin cush-
ion. Then get long needle and with
Irvine sew the edges together with long
stitches. This will make fine amusement
for rainy day. Always have a pad or
mat under the trapeze. Even the best
performers sometimes fall, so 1t is best
to be prepared
With the trapeze, first of all learn to
get up. Grasp the bar and pull your
body up until your waist reaches tho
bar. Then by working your hands !. LID
ehO ioPc you Gail QTdW your legs over anu
through and sit on the bar. Learn to
swing and balance this way. After a
while you will find it easy to hang by the
legs, holding fast with the hands until
you feel the bar secure under your knees
After this skinning the cat and bending
the crab will come easy. If two of you
practice in the same place let your play
mate try handsprings and head-turns
while you are on the bar, and then you
do the same when he tries the swing BY
no means let more than one boy get in
the swing at time. Look after the tie
knots in your ropes on the beam end at
least once week, to see If they are
wearing thin. If they creak and make a
noise while you swing, rub some fat bacon
or sewing machine oil around the knot
For this exercise your every day clothes
will be all right, but you will find 1t easier
to get a pair of knee jersey tights and
shirt, with gum-soled shoes, such as they
wear in gymnasiums

OUR IGNORANCE
OF PERSONALITY

From the Delineator.
II we are, after ALL still ignorant of
all the possible powers of the body, how
much more are we ignorant Of the lin
its to be set for the abilities of the ''self'
which controls that bodyl And especially
does our ignorance appear overwheim-
ing when we consider as we have done
that this self of ours is not single
unit, but includes a whole host of Sub
limtnal' parts, of which we have hardly
as yet proved the existence.
We already have, however, a collection
of phenomena acting as a guide, because
they illustrate very unusual abilities of
this same "subliminal SELF" namely, the
phenomena of hypnotism. The hypnotic
trance, We remember simply means ac-
cording to Myers theory, that the sub
Jects body Is temporarily under the con-
troll of some one of the subliminal parts
of his own Self
Each of these selves which develop I'M
der hypnosis has its own individuality
its own knowledge and feelings and mem
cries. At one stage of hypnosis, for ex-
ample, the subject may be under the con-
troll of part of his sublminal self which
we will call tx" tx" thinks that he is
Professor So-and-so of the University of
So-and-so, and he will act, speak, talk and
think as that professor would Wake
the subject up, and he will have no mem

TX" part OF his personality had control;
but, put him back (by hypnotizing him
again into the "X'' condition and he
will pick up again the professor, life
just where he left off with 1t little be-
fore, remembering all that he did In his
former trance, but nothing of his own
life outside It.

SOME POINTS ON
CONCRETE BUILDING

Cement Age for February contains an
article on the construction Of concrete
houses, written by practical builder.
which is of considerable interest in that
1t confines itself to the concrete house
of moderate cost. The writer of the ar
ticle states that plain or reinforced con-
crete wall is much stronger in every fea-
ture than a brick wall. 1t is. therefore.
not necessary to make the concrete wall
as thick in order to get the proper fac
tor of safety. The Philadelphia building
laws take cognizance of this fact by re-
curing in concrete only two-thirds OF the
thickness called for in brick For house
construction two four-inch walls, with a
four-inch air space are advisable. The
two walls should be tied with metal ties
in concrete webs. This gives wall of
full strength, saves materials, gives an
absolutely damp-proof house, and all the
benefits derived from the four-inch air
space 1t also saves the Turing, lathing
and two brown coats of plaster, the nm
ishing coat being plastered on the CON-
crete This wall will cost from 10 cents
to rs cents per square foot of wall, plus
the finish coat Another method Is to suse'
a six-inch wall, which is strong enough
for any two-story house, with Turing,
lathing or metal sheathing on the inside,
which gives enough air space to Keep
any dampness from coming through.
Plaster in the regular way with two
brown coats and one finish coat. This
will cost from IL cents to Is cents per
square foot for the concrete, plus the fur
ring, lathing and plaster. These prices
are equal to from Sc to SO per cubic yard
for concrete. Concrete partitions two
inches thick which are reliable In every
way-there is nothing better-can be put
up for 16 to 20 cents per square foot.
Floors, by using concrete in connection
with hollow concrete tile, can be placed

REvERsIoN To BARBARIsM.
Criticism of Verdict In Hams Case BY
New England Writer.

From the New Bedford Standard
The verdict of the Hains-Annis case ia
taken by the defendant, and by many
other people as well, as an Endorsement
of the theory that private vengeance is
permissible and even commendable The
inference is that the next time Thornton
Hams feels that his honor or the honor OF
any one Of his family has been trified
with he has a right to go out and shoot
the offender or protect any other person
who desires to engage In the shooting.
The logic Of the contention goes further
than this, for 1t would justify the shoot
ing Of Hams himself If some person had
conceived the idea that Hams was an Of
fender against his honor. In effect this
is the law of the vendetta nay, 1t is the
law Of the savage. Actually it is a reyer-
sion to barbarism. That society will long
agree to such an attitude is not likely.
for 1t is too dangerous. Just now the at
tempt to exalt the cult of private ven
geance may have some vogue, but 1t is a
passing fancy? The protection of society
as a whole has superior claim to the sat
isfaction Of Individual emotion and So
ciety will in good time wake up to inform
the devotees OF the unwritten law that,
after all. they will have to submit to the
wrdttAn lRw.
