SOME VERY STRANGE PETS
One Congressman Has WIG eoHr !" Yard; Another Owns an Aneora
 Goat.

Some of the members of congress have strange pets. For instance 'nele is Chairman Ben Johnson, ol 'ne house district committee. lie laVlenes b;s excess of affections upon "iie boar. q fine young animal that noios sw.v in the yard of the Johnson nome at Bardstown, Ky. Constant assooi" tion with humanity has made him ae docile as a married man begging TOT night out.
 When MT. Johnson reaches nome the first thing he does is to Whls'ie for that boar. The boar immedlalely shows up. trotting to his master "i.h the devotion of Mary's little lano The representative then strokes the bristling head, and the boar utters happy little grunts of joy.
 Representative Rothermel or fenh- svlvania has goat which he processes he loves. The obvious thing for some wag to say is that everybody Ill COT eress owns a goat, and that the cnlei occ,patiop of the members ot that body is to endeavor to capture some ones else beast of that species.
 That of Representative Rothermei is an Angora goat, a beautiful huny creature, and it's master declares that it can smile. Representative Rother- mel. we'll known through his c|n state as a fighter, was first won to the anf nal when he saw it arguing with the hired man out by the stable o1 ms home one day. The man was trying to put the goat inside the stable and the goat objected. The hired man talked to the Angora as it's own uncle might have talked. And just as ne was getting on intimate terms with the creature it turned on it's reverse speed. ported it's helm and bumped him on the green grass.
 Representative Rothermel went out and calmed the goat just as the hlred man was arranging for murder with the aid of an ax. The goat became his master thereafter. It trots about the lawn, bleating gently whenever the legislator calls. Representative Rothermel is authority for the state. ment that the goat has never as yet butted him.

 So if you hear that the wife of the ambassador from No Mans Land and Miss Debutante are booked for mortal combat at the rooms of the club or that Madam Dowager is making dainty pink boomers to wear in her bout with the Venus-like Miss Blank, just set it down that both are either skilled swordswomen or good shots.
 It is positively decided that the Washington Fencing club, which is de termined to do everything to rejuven. ate the fencing sport in the national capital, will have an annex for wom- en- An instructor in the art of swords manship and revolver shooting will teach society women two mornings and one afternoon each week, at which times mere man will be absolutely barred from entering the club.

Proposed New System Intended to Save Time by Eliminating Fill.
 clustering Tactics.

The spectacle of members of the house voting by means of electric buttons placed at their seats and con- meeting with big switchboard near the speakers desk soon may be a reality. The house rules committee recently decided to report favorably 8 resolution looking to the creation of special committee to report to the house plans and specifications for such a system. The chief purpose of the proposed system is to gain time through the elimination of long roll calls. Roll calls are usually demand. ed for filibustering purposes. Each roll call takes 45 minutes, and when it is possible to demand a roll call on every clause of bill whole day can be filibustered away in roll calls. With the electric bell roll call things will be different

HOLIDAY MAGIC.

Christmas and New Years usually present good opportunities for boys to give home entertainments, because with grandfather and grandmother, fa- ther and mother, uncles and aunts, and sisters and cousins at the house, you have good material to draw, upon to make up an enthusiastic audience. Arrange to have the show directly after dinner, and you will catch ev- erybody in unusually good humor to enjoy the performance.
 Home magic furnishes splendid ma terial for one-boy show, and requires no apparatus other than what boy can make himself The following are among the best of the simpler, easily. performed tricks.
 You need a table on which to hold apparatus, and any small table will do, but Fig. 1 shows how you can make a small stand like those used by real magicians. The top consists of a shallow box, and this is sup ported upon a broom-handle or piece of curtain-pole mounted upon a base made like a Christmas tree standard. The open end of the box forms con- venient pocket for slipping things into at various times. Cover the top and sides of the box with red cloth, and slash the lower edge of the side cov- ering, as shown, for fringe.
 The Ege-and-Handkerchief Trick.
 In this trick after exposing both sides of handkerchief to the view of the audience, the boy magician folds the handkerchief and then causes an egg to slide out of one end of the fold. This is how it is done: The egg is blown so as to make it light, and the blown shell is suspended on one end of a thread attached to the cen | ter of one edge of a large handker- chief Zig. 2). The thread must be about inches shorter than the dis tance across the handkerchief. In performing the trick, place hat upon your table and inform the audience that you will cause an egg to drop from an ordinary handkerchief into it.

Through this tube the coin is slipped into the inside box Place ths tube between the cover and front of each box, and pass a rubberband around the outside box each way (Fig 12). The rubberbands will not only keep the tube in place, but will spring the covers shut as soon as the coin has been passed into the inside box and the tube has been removed. Keen the nest of boxes covered with hand kerchief until after you have com. manded the coin to pass from the can into the inside box; then, when you remove the handkerchief it is sim. pie matter, under cover of it, to slip in the coin and remove the tube.
 The Chinese Paradox.
 This is a very simple trick, yet one of the most mystifying nature when cleverly performed In appearance to the audience the apparatus consists of three small corks threaded upon two pieces of cord (Fig. 14) First exhibit the three corks and two cords IS inches long. In addition to these cords you must have two others ol equal length, looped as shown in Flg If, and the loops tied together wltl fine thread. These cords must Df concealed and be substituted for u' other cords after they have been ez hibited for inspection. Thread ln' m corks upon the looped cords (f)s 1s) and ask two of the audience to tax hold of the ends; then ask each pe' son to hand you one of the cord eao and keep hold of the other one' an taking the ends handed to you u u. them together as shown in f1g' IL Grasp the three corks with one nan' then, and direct the persons holal.
