vantage to go out. IL We are to hold
boys in school by introducing agrl-
cultural science, it must be presented
with its economic phase continually
before the pupil. He must be made
to believe that it will pay-help him
to earn a living and n surplus. This
is vastly more important than the
logical or pedagogical presentation
of it.

The farmer must be helped to see
that right living is quite as import

Gator must concede to the farmer
that getting a living and getting 1t

A FEAT OF CONJURING.
The Popular Coffee Trick and How
1t Is Performed.

The Popular Coffee Trick and How
1t Is Performed.
A trick always popular with the pro-
| fessional conjurer is that known as
the coffee trick" though some high
falutin title. as, for instance, Mar
about Mocha" is better for a pro-
gram. 1t has the advantage. too, Of
not conveying any idea OF what the
trick is to be. The trick is as suita-
bic for the drawing room as for the
stage, and an amateur with a little
practice may do it easily. Remember,
with little practice, for, like every
thing in conjuring. not only q little
but sometimes a great deal OF practice
is necessary If the performer desires
to do his tricks with ease and skill
and so as to bewilder his audience
When about to present this trick the
performer has on a table three wooden
boxes, a large goblet shaped glass jar
and two German silver shakers or
cups, such as are used In mixing lem
on juice, ice, etc, for q glass Of lem
onade. In one of the boxes is a
quantity of bran, in another some
pieces of chopped up white paper and
per. These, with two pieces Of black
velvet each about nine inches square,
and a paper cylinder. are all that ap-
pear to be used in the trick. Picking
up one shaker, the performer fills 1t
with white paper and Immediately
pours it back into the box. Again he
dips the shaker into the box and. with
a shoveling motion, fills it and stands
it on table so that every one may
see it. The other shaker he fills in
the same way. but with the blue pa
per- Finally the glass jar is filed with
bran and stood on a table by itself.
Over one shaker is spread one of the
velvet squares and on top Of it is
placed a small, round metal plate. The
other shaker is covered with the sec
ond velvet square, but without any
metal plate.
Remember" says the performer.
'@this cup is filed with white paper
and that one with blue" and, pulling
the velvet piece of one cup, he pours
from it into a small pitcher about a
pint of milk-"The milk of human
kindness as extracted from the daily
press" Removing the metal plate and
the velvet from the second cup. he
pours from it into the first cup steam
ing Mocha coffee; no grounds for
complaint" Gcking up the paper cyl

of the glass jar, and, lifting it up al (
most Immediately, it is found that the |
bran is gone and the jar is filed with |
lump sugar.
1t is a snowy trick which is general !
ly followed by applause, that sweetest 1
of music to a performer. Here is the |
explanation:
In each box of paper is a duplicate |
shaker, one filed with milk, the other |
with coffee. Fitted into the mouth of |
