' EASY TRIO:CS No. 1335 st I1ow To Make A Coin Vanish • sic. 1, • A This stunt i5 used by many pro- fessional magicians when they wish to cause a coin to vanish. It requires a little skill but the ama- teur will be able to do it Well aft- er half an hoer'spractice. iA half dollar is held between the; finger tips andthumb of the left band. The thumb of the right band is placed under the coin and the fingers closed over it, and the coin apparently carried away in. the •right hand. When the righthand is opened, the .coin has vanished. If. you will try the trick, you will observe that when tbe fingers close over the coin, the: coin can be' dropped' into the: palet of the left hand. The right bund goes through the motion of taking the coin, every effort being made to duplicate the appearance of'actu- ally taking the coin.

A now aeroplane has been invented which has two tails and two bodies, and is able to reverse its direction when in flight without turning round. This machine is known as the "twee way" aeroplane. It has only one set of wings and struts, like the ordinary craft, but it can bestartedwith either end forward. The new machine can take -off and be brought to rest in a;very shortdie- tanoe, and,. in feet, requires only a *Very small Sanding ground. in this respect it approaches the helicopter.

SPRING IlliPURITIES DUE TO POOR BLOOD A Tonic Medicine. a Necessity at This Season. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an all - year -round tonic for the blood and nerves. But they are especially vale= able in the spring whet the system is loaded with impurities as a result of the indoor life of the winter: months. There is . no . other season when the Wool is so much in need of purifying and enriching, and every dose of these pillshelps to enrich the blood. In the spring one -feels weak and tired—Dr. Williams' Pietk Pills ,give strength. In the springthe appetite is often poor- Dr. Williams' Pink Pill's develop . the appetite, tone the : stomach and aid week digestion. It is in -the -spring that poisons iu the..bleed find an outlet in disfiguring pimples, eruptions and boils -Dr. Williams' Pink bilis clear the skin because they go to the root of the trouble in the blood. In the spring anaemia, rheumatis'ni, indiges- tion, neuralgia and many other trou- bles are most persistent becapse of D oor, weak blood, and it is at this time when all nature takes on, new life that the blood most seriously needs atten- tion.

Aro you a "killjoy?" Your negative is indignant and emphatic. Good! But wait a minute: The activities of the ordinary kill- joy we know. The fraternity, are out to spoil in the mass all innocent fun and gaiety. But there are othe@r kill. joys. These are not organized; they don't seek to spoil the fun of crowds. Their line is to take the joy out of in- dividuals., one at a time. And yet they de it without nmaiiers or deliberate in- tent. But the effect Is exactly the salve. Some Parents are killjoy's.

These are the hills, these are the woods, 7,these are my starry solitudes; And there the river by whose brink The roaring lions come to drink.
