the company streets smoking a cigar
when an officer approached. King sa-
luted

mouth? How long have you been
here?"
Three days. replied King
you are excused this time" said the
officer but don't let me catch you do
ing that again"
In short time King met the same
officer and walked by without saluting.
why didn't you salute?" demanded
the officer, stopping him.
well, you just told me not TO salute
when | had a cigar in my mouth" re-
piled the raw recruit.
But he spent three days in the kitch-
EN- peeling potatoes for this offense.-

One hand, If it's true. is as good as an

Or make for it's owner a name
Or fold in its grasp all the dainties Of

Not more in the sight of the mute under

Or mock at his lowly birth.
We are all of us Gods. Let US earnestly
labor

MAGIC FIRE WRITING.
How TO Perform an Amusing and Mys-
tifying Trick.

How TO Perform an Amusing and mys'
tifying Trick.
This recipe for magic fire writing"
is given by the Pathfinder: Dissolve
saltpeter In water until the water will
take up no more. Then take the
wrong end of a penholder and, dip
ping II in the solution. draw in thick
strokes some name or design on a
piece of light paper. taking care not
TO break the continuity of the writing
anywhere-that is. all words must be
Joined When dry the writing will
be invisible. Fold over or roll up half
an inch of each end Of such paper
after It has been allowed to get dry
and stand It on something that will
not burn. Light q match. then blow
It out and apply the glowing tip to
some spot touched by the design you
can make an ink mark before apply
ing the saltpeter TO serve as guidel.
and a tiny glowworm OF fire will
travel all along the lines traced and
end by leaving the device burned out
of the paper. no other part of It being
destroyed.
BY the use of little ingenuity all
sorts of amusing designs for this pur
pose can be got up. For example, you
can draw in pencil or ink on the paper
picture OF one boy throwing a base
ball to another and also trace an in
visible curved line IN the saltpeter
from the hand OF the thrower TO that
OF the catcher. Then when you touch
fire to the throwers hand the fire will
follow the saltpeter line right to the
others hand.
Those who see the thing and are not
in the secret will be much mystifed
as to why the fire follows this line and
does not burn the rest of the paper.
Saltpeter enters into gunpowder, and
wherever II has touched the paper it
makes II burn.

SnslIs and doors.

Snails perceive the odor of many sub
stances. but only when not far away.
In order to prove this it is necessary
merely to dip glass rod in a strongly
smelling substance and bring il near
the large tentacles Of snail in mo.
ton. If It is put close to these horns
the tentacles are violently drawn back.
As the animal perceives the odor II
changes its course. Snails also smell
by means Of their skin. Contact Is not
necessary, for the mere vicinity Of a
perfume causes an indentation OF the
skin.

This dust is breathed continuously by
the women. many of whom complain
Of chronic coughs anf colds. The
dust and dirt are so thick upon the
clothes Of the girls that at the noon
hour, which in many cases consists
of but few minutes, and at the close
OF the days or nights labor, the
girls have to sweep each other clean
with brooms."

Leap Year Note

The newest thing in leap-year
proposal was brought to light this
morning when coy little note at
tached to a cantaloupe with wire
hairpin was found on a bench ip
Tenth street park by a local officer.
The note read:
I'D like to meet you, but canta-
loupe yet. Please leave name on
bench.r
Two young girls, scarcely in their
teens, took their lunch on the bench
at II O'Clock today. and were seen
munching the melons. Half an hour
later the officers attention was at
tracted to the.cantaloupe on the
bench and he found the note. Search
for the girls WAS unavsiling.
The officer did not leave his name
on the bench, for he is sufficiently
married already. He retained the
hairpin and the note and ate the
melon. Thus was an intended ro-
nance nipped In the bud by au un-
feeling bluecoat, and the lougings
for consort rudely shattered.
Any further proposals by the
can;aloupe route viii be placed in the
hands of the county probation Of
ticer.
