The town of Platoro is growing rap

A Memory,

"Caruso's bones are musical" says
an English doctor: "if you tap one of
his knuckles it gives out higher
pitched and more resonant tone than
those of the average person" Far be
1t from a layman's thought to dispute
the word of an eminent medical au-
thority, but from our school days we
have lively recollections Of tap on
the knuckles resulting in tones that
for high pitch and resonance would
beat any that Caruso ever uttered

Candle Tricks.

Children and even grownups enjoy
after-dinner tricks and I give these
just as they came to me. They are all
to be performed with candles. I have
not had time to try them. Perhaps
some of you will be kind enough to
write me If they are any good. You
could use them as an adjunct to
bazar. performing them in a separate
booth with curtains hung at the door
to give an air of mystery. and charge
a penny to get in. OF course. this ia
all to be done by young people, as 1t
is within their possibilities.
Put nail in the end OF a candle and
set 1t all in glass filled with water.
The nail will steady the candle. which
will burn until nothing remains. al
ways rising above the surface of the
water by reason of the decrease in
weight.
Take small picture cut from pa
per or book. and wrap 1t tightly
around a candle. Light match or
another candle and hold the flame
near until the paper becomes trans
parent. Unwrap the paper. and every
one will be astonished to find the pic
ture printed on the candle.
Put a candle unlighted in a basin
of water. Let several try to take 1t
out with their mouths. not touching
the candle with their hands. Every
one will fail. Then you put your face
in the water, and. when your mouth Is
near the end OF the candle. draw in a
deep breath. and the suction Of the
water will draw the candle into your
mouth.
Allow some drops from = lighted
candle to fall into q basin Of cold wa

String these on a wire with green
leaves made from paper. and an In
