this far% This meas incessant train-
unreinitting prantwe. ,
' I shall always remember one un-
foreseen mishap with mixed feelings.
The trick being performed was that
well-known one of making a raagie
omelet.
To add novelty,- one of the ingredi-
ents popped- into this omeletwas a
-gold ring borrowed from a lady in
the audience. -1 ,
When the omelet was cooked it was
uncovered to reveal a live dove, whic
'was released. Upon the dove's den -
der neck glittered 'the gold ring.
The magic -omelet trick was very
-popular. But, alas, upon this accas-
• ion the dove noticed that there was
an open window. It flew towards it,
perched for a`` moment on the ledge -
you, mar imagine the feelings of the
poor magician -and finally disappear-
ed for ever over the house -tops with
-its gelden treasure.
As everybody knows, it is not only
the quickness of. the hand that de-
ceives the eye, but also the rapidity
and humor of the magician's patter
which di;- 'Teets 'attention from the op-
eration in hand.
• One day a well known magician was
about to perform a disappearing
trick. As he made his preparations
he walked alertly about the stage,
talking, talkipg, talking.
Suddenly, to the amazement of the
audience, he disappeared from view.
This was magic, indeed! The poor
fellow had inadvertently stepped up-
on an insecure trapdoor!
Magicians find that the mild, non -
malicious joke against some member
of the audience is a very good way
of keeping things going. But I once
caught a Tartar.
I had been producing eggs from the
ears, nose, mouth and clothes of a
member of the audience in full view
of the theatre. On this occasion my
subject was a typical school -boy oe
holiday.
He was watching me like a lynx,
and I think his inability to detect how
it was done peeved the little fellow
somewhat.
As he stood hp to walk back to his
place I fired my last joke at him:
"Ah!" I said, "your Thother can't
get eggs without chickens, can she?"
Quick as a flash came hisclarion-
like answer:
"Oh, yes, she can -every day, too!"
"How is that?" I queried, myself.
"We keep ducks,f answered the
young himeful.
Houdini who died recently, was a
very great magician.
Once, however, the police of Mos-
cow played a trick on him. Houdini
had successfully escaped from a Mos-
cow prison cell in a few minutes. 'ins
• achievement considerably annoyed
the police authorities.
They suggested another test. Hon -
dial was invited to enter a Siberian
prison van. He agreed. The massive
ments that, after thirty-six hours, he
didescape,
• The MoseOw police, with what is
perhaps best described as a Russian
sense of itamor, had soldered up the
massive iron door!
I remember my father -telling me
of a very comic mishap that -set the
audience into gales 2f laughter.
• A magician -was about to perform
a levitation trick -that is, was about
to make his assistant rise in the air
without apparent material .aid.
Everything went well until the mo-
ment -when the actual levitation took
place. Then, lo and behold, both ma-
gician and assistant soared upwards!
A WEAK STOMACH
Can Be Strengthened Through the
Use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.
Wonderful is the process by which
the chemistry of the body changes
the food we eat into blood. And the
whole of our well-being depends upon
this being Maintained day after day,
year in and year out. Sometimes the
process becomes faulty, and then food
begins to poison the blood instead of
feeding it. This is followed by all
the pangs of indigestion such as gas
on the stomach, pains around the
heart, often nausea after eating, and
a dislike for all kinds of food.
The only way to overcome these
troubles is to tone up the digestion so
that you can assimilate all your food.
To do this you have only to take Dr.,
Williams' Pink Pills. A short course
of these pills will quickly tone up the
stomach and banish indigestion. Her.,
is a bit of convincing proof given by
Mrs. Chas. Ladner, Ellerslie, P.F,.I.,
who says: -"For some years I was .1
sufferer from stomach trouble. Every-
thing I ate caused distress, sour stom-
ach and belching. I could not ent
meat or potatoes, and I grew weak
and nervous. No medicine seemed to
help me until I was persuaded, to take
Dr. Williams' Pink • Pills, and these
simply worked wonders. I took the
pills faithfully for a couple of months
by which time every symptom of .tho
trouble disappeared, and there has
not since been the slightest symptom
of stomach trouble. No wonder I
praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
You can get these pills through any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents
a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont.

O'b
CHEERFUL NEWS FOR THOSE
WHO MAY IME•
We take pleasure in making the
announcement that death as the con-
sequence of disease or old age is gen-
erally painless, and that one noted
physician, Dr. Arthur' Macdonald, of
Washington, is devoting himself to
collecting facts and figures, which
may moderate the prospect of death
to millions. It is curious that medi-
cal science, perhaps controlled by
the law, makes little provision for I
easing the last moments of persons
about to die. Medical science is
concerned mainly with the other
side of the shield -helping people to
live. But it is also true that only
in a few diseases, such for instance
as lockjaw, does death come in an
agony. It is the fear of death which
is terrifying and it is probable that
a man must have his own philoso-
phy to conquer it But the fear that
the business of dying is 5 painful
one is just another superstition
which may be swept away. Then-,
are plenty of people who would not
shrink from laying down their heavy
load if they knew that the process
is in most cases as easy as falling
asleep. Above all it must'be a relief
to those who watch their loved ones'
passing to know that it is without,
suffering, that indeed the act of dy-
ing ends whatever suffering may have
preceded it.
Whatever may be found in that
undiscovered country, the entrance
to it does not stain the fortitude
of those least used to suffering. The
mall whose death ensues after a long
life is proof of the saying that we
die by degrees. One sense after an-
other becomes dulled. The eyes and
the ears weaken in their functions.
At the end there is really not much
left to die, and it dies as painlessly
as the other senses. *Dr. Macdonald
is sending out a questionnaire to
physicians in the United States ask-
ing for their experiences, trying to
find out how the dhath of children,
• in what might be called the
mechanics of the operation, differs
from the death of adults. His own
experience and the data so far col-
lected convince him that dying is
much like falling asleep. There is
the Same surrender to languor, often
the same contented look. Dr. Mac-
donald hopes to broadcast his know-
ledge when it is complete, so that
the average man will not Iodic for-
ward 'to his deathbed with less
courage -than was displayed by many
of the ancients, or •indeed by such
a modern as Charles Prohman, who
when faced with certain death by
• drowning,apobe of it as a wonderful

In his last hones Iltreiart joined
with his tc-4friends in. singing a re-
quiem he had thoughtfully composed
for the occasion. When Seneca was
ordered to die for the good of Rome
he opened a vein in his arm, but not
finding this quick enough he said:
"Death seems to be a matter of some
dilB.culty." So he ordered his slaves
to prepare a bath, opened the veins
in his legs, composed himself in the
bath and passed` out as though falling
asleep. A very similar ending was
that devised by John Galsworthy for
the hero .of "The Stoic," or "Old Eng-
lish" as it was called when adapted
for the stage. His hero literally com-
mitted suicide by eatiing a tremend-
ous dinner and drinking heroically,
knowing that apoplexy would be the
certain. result. The saying that "The
brave man dies but once. The cow-
ard dies a thousand times," applies
rather to death in battle, or rather
to the courage that makes a brave
man face death and take his chances.
Violent death must be at the best un-
comfortable "in that revolting second
of the wrench when the blind soul is
flung upon he air," as Masefield has
it. 'Nor can death be less than hor-
rible to the man with his senses fully
alive who, caught in some trap, sees
it certainly approaching. But the ap-
proach is worse than the arrival.
Dr. Macdonald believes that most
of the dread of the act of death is
due to the poets and writers who
have rarely treated it in any spirit,

PREPARING FOR THE BREEDING
SEASON
The poultry flock on the average
Canadian farm will be made up of one
of the generall purpose breeds, that
is, a breed that will give good table
fowl and also lay a fair number of
eggs.
The egg production end of the busi-
ness is the one frpm which the great-
est profits may be expected and even
when mating the general purpose flock
egg prodttction must be kept promin-
ently in mind if the Best returns are
to be secured.
Vigour is the foundation on Which
all mating must...be built. Continued
heavy egg production over eprolong-
ed period is one of the hest indications
of this desirable quality. This is
especially true when there is, in con-
junction with this, the ability to give
fertility and hatchability to the eggs
and vitality to the chicks.

There is no place in Paris where
at tea time one sees more elegant,
women assembled than at Claridge's, i
in the Avenue des Champs Elysees.
This fashionable hotel is in the centre
of the exclusive Etoile district; its
windows overlook the most pic-
turesque thoroughfare in Europe, and
its orchestra is far famed on the
continent.
These are some of the reasons why
it attracts the crowd it does. Mme.1
Jenny's is next door. Drecoll's is a
stone's throw away, and Louise Bou-
langer's is no fert.her. Elegant
Parisiennes makes this their after-
noon place of rendezvous as they go
to and from these sources of Parisian
"chic."
The first thing one notices is the
dominance of small black hats, with
no trimming, or, if any, extremely
little. The only trimming is a fea-
ther flower or a pin of atriking sim-
plicity and originality. The pin, if
any color appears in it, matches the
dress, and the hat it -elf, if not black,
matches the trimming of the dress.
Oftentimes, too, th, pin is of the
same color as the hat.
The feather flowers will he the

hats throughout the spring and sum-
