After.DInner Tricks.

1t is now quite the thing to have a
number of clever tricks up ones
sleeve" as it were, with which to be-
guile few moments after dinner, or
to work in at an opportune moment
when there comes a lull in the con-
versation Jugglery was the oldest of
the sciences and every one, old or
young, is interested in strange or
seemingly wonderful feats.
A very simple trick is called "The
Balanced Coin" Take a bottle, cork
1t, and in the cork place a needle. Cut
a slit in another cork so that the
edge of a silver dollar will fit into
1t; then put two forks into the upper
cork. Place the edge of the coin,
which holds the upper cork and forks,
on the point of the needle, and it will
revolve without falling. This will
amuse children, especially child who
may be a prisoner from illness, or on
a rainy day.
To make revolving figure is inter-
esting. Cut a wee man out of thin
bit of wood, make him end in one leg
instead of two; make a pair of long
arms shaped like oars or paddles
Then place him on top of your finger
and blow hard. The little man will
go round and round. Another clever
feat is the Spanish dancer. Cut fig
ure from pasteboard; gum one foot on
the inverted side of a watch crystal,
then place it on clean plate. Hold
the plate slanting and it will slide
down; but drop little water on the
plate; instead of the glass sliding, it
will begin to revolve, and continue to
revolve with increased velocity as the
person chooses. This is in consequence
of the cohesion of water to the two
surfaces, by which a new force is
produced.

WEARING OUT
FARM QUICKLY
Rich Soil Rendered Sterile
Through Continuous Bad Crop
ping and Bad Management
of Fertility.
By ARTHUR S. BILL.)

"Our inexhaustibly rich soil" and
many similar expressions to indicate
that the land would never become less
productive were quite common a dec
ade ago. But you seldom hear such
words now; they are passing away
with many other thoughtless conceits.
But whoever heard of man taking
a piece of virgin soil and literally
wearing it out in his own lifetime?
A most impressive illustration of
this very thing recently came under
the writer's personal observation. a
few miles from Carbonate, in south
ern Illinois.
A man now well along in his nine
ties is living upon a 120-acre farm
which he secured from the govern
ment about sixty years ago at S1.25 an
acre. The place has never been trans
ferred to another person.
It was good ground and used to
produce 35 bushels of wheat per acre,
but has been farmed so constantly to
corn and wheat without any intelli-
gent rotation or provision to return
the plant food taken off in the crops
that now the produce Of the land bare
ly enables the occupants to exist.
The last wheat crop was two bush
els per acre. Probably less than ten
bushels of corn per acre were raised
there this year. The land can be
counted on for little If any more than
a quarter of an average crop. Some
of this land must lie idle every year
to rest up" for the next crop-as the
writer saw.
A nearby farmer has 40 bushels of
corn per acre and may have above 30
bushels per acre this year Land is a
good price in that locality.
For any real farming that contem-

must be white, and even the water
can be used to give white relief to the
colored background.
A more conventional decoration Is
that of the tiger lilies. Green for the
broken stem and leaves, pale yellow
for the bud, and an orange shade to
tip the petals are suggested. The
placing of a monogram adds a per-
sonal touch at the expense of little
time.
The wild-carrot design looks ex-
tremely well on green lids. A darker
shade fills in the leaves and stems.
while white dots show up prettily in
the flowers.
II you prefer, this can be painted
with pale green's upon a white ground.
There are other pinholders which
come in wooden form, hard enough to
admit of the brush and smooth enough
to give a finished appearance on the
little dressing table. The application
of paint or dye will do wonders 20
make these accessories individual and
artistic.
Clever aunts, mothers and friends
will never hesitate to give a personal
touch to these little things which will
lift them from the ready-made variety
to higher plane of decoration

plates more than keeping soul and
body together this farm has been
ruined II will amount to nothing
until it has the effect of right treat
ment, and rather expensive treatment,
for series of years. And many an
other Illinois farm has been practical
ly ruined in the same time, though
perhaps not many by the so-called
farming of one person.
The owner can never ''build up"
such land. The utmost he can do is
to live. He has not even a dollar per
acre to invest in improvement. Money
for such wise investment must come
from outside the farm.
1t takes a little longer to ruin the
richer land of central Illinois, but it
can be done just as certainly, as IS
shown by the 30 years of continuous
corn growing on one OF the university
plots at Urbana
Now every intelligent farmer is be-
ginning to see that without some
proper care and repair his soil will
not maintain itself forever, any more
than would his buildings.
Nothing more significant to Ameri-
can agriculture has ever been uttered
than the two sides of the same prop
osition persistently taught by DR..
Cyril G. Hopkins, the University of
Illinois soil expert, as follows:
ITO permanently maintain profit
able systems of agriculture is our
most important material problem, not
only in Illinois but in the United
States.
"If we shall succeed in Illinois in
discovering and adopting into general
agricultural practice systems of farm
ing that will restore our soils to their
virgin fertility and permanently main
tain a high productive capacity for
these Illinois lands, il will be the first
time for this to be accomplished any
where in the world over such an
area"
This Is getting down to bedrock In
agriculture. The most far-sighted and
unselfish farmers are just beginning
to comprehend the literal meaning of
these facts and the advisability of act
ing upon them before it is too late.

MRS. J. B. RAUL STON TALKS IN

Rauston's copies of satsuma are like
their very self.
When we had examined a plate whose
border highly eonventionalized, was a
marvel of mathematical correctness as
well as wonderful In its colorings and
gracefulness of detail she showed charts
which she uses for spacing. I'm this
plate, for instance she said, the de-
sign is repeated five times. A differ
ence of a fraction of an inch between
the motifs would utterly destroy its
value, and by these lines and figures, to-
gether with carefulness and judgment we
eradicate the difficulty" She then laugh
ingly told of the questions that are
sometimes asked as to the first steps in
china painting. Some one asked me the

did not come already stamped with the
design and ready for painting?" And this
