a Smart Trick.

Every child likes to do tricks, and
the mystifying the trick the bet
ter he likes to do it. l will tell you a
good one to show to your, friends.
Throw a ring or coin into a basin
full Of water and tell them you are
going to recover the object with your
hand, but that you will not wet it. in
the least.
In order so to do it will suffice to
sprinkle the surface of the liquid with
some powder which has no attraction
for the water and will not adhere to
it-something that water will not wet.
Powdered lycopodium. which you will
find in almost every drug store, is just
the thing.
Having thrown a half handful of
! this preparation on the surface Of the
water, plunge your hand in boldly, re-
cover YOU prey and show the specta-
tors that your hand Is as dry as ever 1t
was in your life. The reason OF this is
that the lycopodium has formed q
verltable glove around your hand and
fingers. for which the water has not
had the least affinity, any more than
for the feathers Of ducks and other
water birds. You know that these
may dive into the deep ever SO often
before your eyes and come up as dry
as before, thanks to the peculiar oil
secreted by their archaeological
Experiments.

A Remarkable Dog That
Really Speaks Words.

There have been many Sc called
speaking ~dogs-that is, dogs who have
been trained to give a certain number
of banks to indicate certain wants
but this remarkable dog can really
speak, although its vocabulary is
limited as yet to about ten words.
The wonderful gift that enables the
dog to a~rticulate was discovered quite
accidentally by its owner, Herr Her
mann Ebers, a German royal game
keeper. One day the dog was begging
al the table and his master asked him
Gin German, of course), What will
you have?" The dog answered ha-
benz (have), and since then has been
taught eight or nine other words. His
name is Don, and this word he can say
very distinctly, also 'ruhe" Quiet
and hunger" (hunger). That he can
really articulate has been proved not
only by the fact that he does speak
the words. but also by examination by
scientists.

gates are two small pegs driven into
the ground quite close together or two
bricks placed side by side a short dis
lance apart.
Half the players have hoops AMI half

ers with hoops start off. trunding the
hoop slowly or quickly. as they please,
and they must pass the hoop through
every gate. Ii the hoop touches either
of the gateposts or goes outside them
the keeper takes the hoop. while the

Apples baked with figs are very nice.
Select the plumpest and j%uiciest dried
figs you a get and wash them, care
fully pinching them into their natural
shape. Then select good, firm apples
and wash them. Scoop out the cores
and into each of these holes pack two
or three whole figs. Place them in a
baking pan and bake in a hot oven.
While they are baking basic them
with strip made from the juice Of half
a lemon, two tablespoonfuls Of sugar
and half a cup Of water. If when
they look done they are not soft to
the core, place a cover over your bak-
Ing dish and let them steam for a few
minutes. Then remove the cover and
brown the fruit slightly. These apples
may be served either alone or with
farina, bominy or other breakfast food.
