THE VANISHING COIN.
Amusing ParIor Trick to Try Before an
Audience.

Audience.
To do this coin trick place on a
small table rather large cloth and
let it hang twelve inches over the front
edge and about thirty inches over the
side fartheSt from the audience. Pin
this side Of the cloth at each end so as
to form bag. In this bag is put II
p!ate. and another one is set on the ta-
bile with a number of coins beside it.
Borrow handkerchief and place it
on the table until needed. When work
ing the trick take up the plate and
show your audience that it is unpre-
pared. Hold it behind the table over
the plate in the bag and sweep off the
coins on the plate, really letting them
fall on the hidden plate. Every one
will think the coins are on the one you
are holding. which you now cover with
the handkerchiefs before raising 1t
above the edge of the table. You have
only to bring the plate forward and
raise the handkerchief to show that

Bert burnside regarded the little pile
Of silver laid out upon the table before
him. There were two Mexican dollars,
an American coin of the same demon
ination and double the value, two Mex
lean halves and some copper coins. Ills
board WAS paid until the end of the
week ut the obscure hotel to which he
had removed when his funds gave out
After the week was ended there was
tramp of more than 1000 miles home
and this must be his capital
Bert had come down to old Mexico to
look up some mines in which his "a
thcr was interested. 1t was his first
important commission. and he had been
proud indeed when he had perceived
the clever manner in which the mines
had been saltcd. He had reported the
fact back home; then, still having plen'
ty of funds, he had remained on in the
quaint old country until he had met
the little knot of good fellows at the
Hotel Rio 4rande.
That they fieeced him of every cent
he possessed in revenge for his discov,
cry Of the sailing of the mines was
something that Bert did not know. He
only knew that he had been so foolish
as to play cards with acquaintance OF
a week and that it had served him right
to be stripped of all his possessions.
He knew better than to write asking
his father for assistance.
He did write Jessie Picard, the
daughter Of his fathers partner, and
confessed freely his foolishncss. 10
his father he wrote only that he would
not be home as soon as he anticipated.
In the long run the incident might
be to his advantage. Both his father
and Henry Picard were of the opinion
that the young people should wait at
least five years before being married.
If Bert should prove his ability to
take care Of himself it might shorten
the period Of probation.
With shrug of his shoulders he
dropped the coins back into his pock-
ct and descended to the hotel lobby.
A new bill on the dingy wall attract
ed his attention. Several men were
gathered about 1t. discussing the an
nouncement in animated tones. There
had been bullfight the previous Sun
day at which a new matadore had
gained especial favor, and the bill an
nounced his retention for second
Sunday.
Beneath the announcement that four
black bulls from Tayagua would be
fought to the death and that Corcita
Chico would receive the charge Of the
bull kneeling came the lines:
"a fifth bull for the volunteers. with
$50 on his horns, will be turned into
the ring. The manager refuses to be
responsible for any injuries to ANA
teurs."
Rather dangerous he suggested to
one of the bystanders. The Mexican
shrugged his shoulders.

Just For the Boys and Girls
BOWLING WITH BUBBLES.
A Capital Game In Which Two Teams
Contest For Points.


Bubble blowing is certainly lots Of
fun. but bubble bowling Is much more
exciting, says the Washington Star.

come.
Goals must be marked in chalk at
both ends Of the table. Each goal con-
sists Of two marks eight inches apart.
Any number can play this game-in
fact, the more the merrier-but there
must be an equal number Of players
on each side. A captain must be
chosen for each team, and the names
must all be written on a slate or piece
Of paper. Each player is provided
with n clay pipe, and there Is one
bowl of soapsuds to be used by ALL
The teams gather at opposite ends
Of the table, and the person standing
next to his captain blows n bubble
not too large, which he tosses upon
the table. The captain as first bowler
| stands ready to blow the bubble on Its
course down through the opponents
goal. When the captain has had three
trials the captain on the other side
becomes bowler, and the one standing
next to him blows bubbles for him.
| " nen this captain retires the MEM
ber of the opposite party next to the
captain takes the bowler's place and Is
assisted by the one whose name Is
| nett on the list, after him the player
next to the captain on the other side,
and so on until the last on the list
has his turn, when the captains then
become assistants and blow the bub-
bles. Each player has three trials.
The bubbles which break before the
bowler has started them are not count
ed. Every time {: player sends a bub-
BILE through his opponents goal point
is won and mark Is written opposite

is recorded. The game is twenty five
points.

SIMPLE EXPERIMENT..
Weighing a Letter With the Aid Of Z
Broom stick

weighing Letter WIth the Ala OF
Brooms stick.
Did you ever know you could weigh
letter with a broomstick? Letters
are of such light weight that deli
cate balance is needed. So this will
be Just the thing. The handle Of an
old broom about foot long should be
put into a long jar or deep vase filled
with water. A weight Of some kind
should be attached to the lower end.
so that about three-fourths of the
broom handle is under the water. A
piece of cardboard, glued to the top,
will serve as platform for the balance
The last thing to do is to graduate
the weight-that is, to mark of scale
on the end above the water. That can
be done by borrowing half ounce and
a one ounce weight and placing them
on the balance. one at time. II the
broomstick goes just below the ounce
mark then double postage is neces-
sary, and If the gauge is fairly accu-
rate the letter weigher will serve for
ordinary purposes.
