Why the Audience Laughed.

AT public entertainment recent
ly a conjurer had an experience
which was highly comical, though
quite disastrous from a professional
point of view. Having produced an
egg from a previously empty bag,
he announced that he would follow
up this trick by bringing from the
bag the hen that laid the egg. This
little arrangement he left to his
confederate to- carry out. He pro-
ceeded to draw the bird from the
bag, but what was his surprise on
finding that the alleged hen was an
old rooster, which strutted about
the stage with ruffled feathers and
offended dignity and set up as Wig
orous a growing as if it had just
awakened from its nocturnal slum-
bers. The whole audience shrieked
with laughter, and the unfortunate
conjurer made a bolt for the dress
ing room.-London Mail.

Carefully Guarded Trade Secret

Among the finest and nose distinc.
tive varieties OF textile fabrics are the
cloths technically known as cuttings.
which, however, have nothing TO do
with bedquilts, but include such fab
RIGS as piques, diamonds, mattings and
materials for gentlemen's light waist
coats.
The important processes in the man.
ufacture of cuttings are zealously
guarded as trade secrets. They repre-
sent the finest achievements in cotton
cloth.
The extreme delicacy of their manu-
facture may be gathered from the fact
that down to even twenty-five years
ago they were still largely made on the
hand loom, the work being done not in
mills, but given out to the workers
in their own homes. By constant eX-
pertinent and after many failures a
quilting loom was constructed which
could be driven by power, though it's
production was only slightly faster
than the hand loom. During the last
twenty years great improvements have
been introduced, especially at Bury,
England, which came to be the center
for the making of quiltings.-London

If the nursery window is not pro-
tected by outside bars hammer large
screw or nail into the lower sash, so
that the window cannot be raised more
than six inches.
If the top sash is drawn down this
is quite enough for ventilation, and no
matter how ingenious or venturesome
the little ones may be they cannot
wriggle through the small lower OPEN
ing.
Provide each little one in the nursery
with its own towel, sponge, hair and
tooth brush and teach the children that
1t is not right to use each others
things.
Hairbrushes should be kept perfectly
clean and frequently washed in soda
water.
Sponges, too, should be treated in the
same way, and when they are greasy
and Shiny they should be cleansed
by placing them in boiling water in
which soda-two ounces to each quart
of water-has been dissolved and left
for twenty-four hours to soak. After

Good Words for Hyde Park
from the Ludlow Tribune.

from the Ludlow Tribune.
Hyde Park is energetically planning to
rebuild its burned district, and will soon
be ''as good as new" and little better.
from the Rutland Herald
Hyde Park is going ahead with its re
building activities in way which shows
that that little village is ready to profit
by fires lesson. An improved water sys-
tenn is one big step.
From the Burlington Free Press.
Judging from the manner in which the
people of Hyde Park are going about the
work of rebuilding, that progressive vii
lage will soon be more beautiful than
ever. The decision of the voters to in
stall gravity water system at an ex-
pense not to exceed $40, 900, has been fol-
lowed by the announcement that public
buildings and private residences are to be
promptly erected, and it is safe to say
that the county structures will be in
cluded in the list.
From the Bellows Falls Times
Hyde Park suffered a dsasterous fire
on April 18th and large part of its village
was wiped out. 1t is still ION the map,"
however, and very much alive. The town
has appropriated $4,000 for a new town
hall, the Congregational church is to put
up $4,000 structure, the Odd Fellows
are to build new hall and several new
residences are being planned. The village
has voted to arrange a gravity water sys-
tenn at an expense not to exceed 500, 900.
A village improvement society has also
been organized and over $4,000 of stock
sold. Hyde Park is one of the thrifty
communities which are the pride of the
state.

TRAINING OF SEALS.
Old Circus Man Tells How Tricks
Are Taught.
Balancing the Ball, Beating the Drum
and cymbaIs Are All Based on
the mature Of the
Brute"

New York-The mere spectator
usually thinks that trained seals are
the finest product Of the circus me-
nagerie; but according to an old
trainer, 1t is simple trick to teach
them their feats. The cardinal prin-
ciple is, not to attempt to make an
animal do anything contrary to the
nature Of its particular species To
be successful, then. the trainer must
animals to enable him to fit the tricks
to- their needs. He must not try to
make an elephant climb or lion play
the drum
You begin with one seal, lot OF
little pieces of fish, and bit Of
string. You let the seal sit on his
pedestal, which he likes to do by ma
ture; then you throw him one of the
pieces of fish, and he naturally and
easily catches it.
''Next you tie a piece of fish on the
end of your string, and swing 1t to-
ward the seal. he catches that, too,
and you keep moving away from him,
and swinging the reward to him from
an increasing distance Now you are
ready to begin with the hat or cornu-
copia; placing and tying bit OF the
fish up in the tip of it, you toss it to
the seal. He Is dextrous by nature.
and his nose, detecting the fish up in
the cone, quickly seeks it. He bites
1t out and losses the cone aside Be-
fore long he comes to associate that
cone with his loved fish. and he will
catch any number of similar ones,
and toss them aside when he fails to
find what he wants. That's all there
is to the trick. you see.
Balancing the big rubber ball is
based on the same principle. The
ball is soaked in fsby brine. and
thrown to the seal He gets the odor
and tries his best to get into the ball
and find what he's after. This re
suits in his balancing the ball on his
nose, feat for which his quickness,
