A Card Mystery
This is a trick with "'the joker

p ete pack of playing cards.
The joker is shown and Is placed
on, the top of the pack. The magic.
ian asks_ whether his spectators
would like to have it placed near
the top of the pack, near the bottom
or in the middle. Whatever the
choice, he takes the joker and places
it where he is told.
He places the cards ,belaincle his
back for an instant and then brings
them out. Fie "snaps his fingers,
says a magic word and the joker
appears on the top of the pack.
This Is how it is done.
"When he shows the joker he holds
it so that the presence of another
caiele 'behind the joker, is not ob
served. This is done by holding the
cards so that they curve slightly,

ence. He places the two -cards Jar),

A great menace to the public health
presents itself in the slip -shod way
some vendors have in serving ice
cream and soft drinks. A rinse
through cold water is sometimes prac-
tically all, that the utensils get. Vari-
ous investigations have shown that
the ordinary methods of washing soda
water glasses and ice cream dishes
neither cleanses nor sterilizes them..
Contagious disease germs could thus
be transmitted from mouth to mouth.
The following disinfectant is recom-
mended by certain boards of health,
for the cleansing of soda water
glasses and other drinking and eating!
utensils:
Solution No. 1. Chlorinated lime, 12
ozs. ` avoirdupois, sodium carbonate,
31/9,' ozs. and , 66 grains avoirdupois.
Water to make 50 fluid ounces. Grind
the chlorinated lime in a mortar with
20 fluid ounces of water until a thick
paste is made. Transfer the paste to
a gallon bottle, „washing "it from the
mortar with 14 fluid ounces of water.
The chlorinated lime must be of full
strength. Dissolve the 'sodium car-
bonate in 17 ounces of hot water. Add
the soda solution to the lime solution
in the bottle. Shake thoroughly. If
the mixture becomes gelatinous, set
the bottle in warm water until the.
gelatin has dissolved. Strain through
wet muslin until liquid becomes clear.
Wash with successive, portions of
warm water until the amount of the
solution totals 50 fluid ounces.
Solution No. 2. Hydrochloric acid,
3 fluid ounces, apothecaries' measure.
Water 29 fluid ounces. Mix and stir
well. To one •.gallon of water,, add
11-3 fluid' ounces of solution No. 1.
When ready to use, add one fluid
ounce of No. 2, to the above mixture.
This makes a solution which is prac-
tically neutral and which contains
2.81 per cent.' free chlorine.
The best method of disinfecting a
soda water glass with the above de-
scribed solution is to first rinse it
with warm water; next, with the 'solu-
tion and, finally, wash off the solution
with clear, clean, cold water.
To wash eating utensils first clean
off- the grease and dirt; with soap and
hot water. :Rinse: Put in disinfec-
tant. Rinse with clean, clear, -cold
water.

Women Organists.

that none has as yet achieved any

of the nineteenth century. The elder
of these, Ann Shepherd, held import-
