SOME SIMPLE TRICKS.

% A Trick by Using the Princi-
plate filled with water. Cut a cork
and stick two matches into it. Then
take a glass and, after lighting the
matches, place the glass over them.
The burning of the matches creates
a vacuum and all the water will run
into the glass so that you can pick
up the coin without wetting the
hands.
CD To Make Coin Walk.-Place
the coin on covered table between
two forks and under a glass. To get
the coin out without touching either
forks or glass one scratches on the
table cover and the coin will start
walking.
(3) When Coin Will Not Brush
Off.-If one places a small coin in
the palm of the hand it is not at all
easy to remove it with a brush

fake a corked bottle and drive a
pin into the cork, pinching the head
of the pin off with pair of sharp
pinchers, and drive the pin right into
the cork. Then cut two other corks
lengthwise into halves. In each half
cork, put needle into the fiat part,
forming an angle slightly less than
right angle. Place the corks on
the rim of the plate, SO that the fat
part with the forks put into them
and the prongs of the fork touch
the plate, while the handles are in a
hanging position. Then place the
plate on the point of the needle, and
without much trouble you can get a
balance.
(5) Magic with a Ruler.-Balance
ing it, Take ruler in the left hand
between two fingers, and between the
thumb and the first finger fiat piece
of rubber. Rub with a wooden rag
the rubber plate, and it will develop
electricity that will easily travel to
the ruler, which then will lift small
pieces of paper placed under the
| other end of the ruler. AS soon as
the rubber is removed the electricity
vanishes and the paper pieces will
| drop.

Several days ago a young man
claiming TO be from Maysville, ar
rived in the city to, as he said,
spend a few days with some of his
relatives. After his arrival here he
evidently ran out of funds and i'll

began TO give out checks signed by
the manager Of the Maysville Supply
Company. Perhaps 500 worth of
these checks were cashed by local
people before they were returned.
When the checks arrived at Mays

adorned them promptly pronounced
them forgeries. In the meantime,
the man who received the money
for them has disappeared and no

W-a-alL yes, may say I'm proud OF

We've got to have mowers and reap

Yet we didn't forget the" welfare OF

both loud and long,
To the Lord to come down among
us, and I gen'r'ly led them quite

Last spring we got about it. Judge
Simpson, who lives in the city,
Gave us five hundred dollars to fix
things, and l was put on the

We raised five hundred more in the

bridge over navigable waters in the
world. Passing the historic and pref

hour, the shores OF the placid Abe

the route leads over this wonderful
engineering project of modern times
to the little town of Mackeys, origin
ally called Mackey's Ferry. but which
was changed with the passing of the
old ferry steamer John w. Garrett y
