EASY TRICKS No. 40 A Card Mystery This is a trick with the joker Which will be found in every com- plete pack of playing cards. The joker is shown and is placed on the top of the pack. The magic- ian askswhether his epectators , 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 bebind his back for an instant and then brings them out. He 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 card, behind the joker, is not obi' served. This Is done by holding the cards sq that they curve slightly, the convex side toward the audi- ence. He places the two cards (ap-: parently only one) on the top of the pack. The card he takes off the top and places anywhere desired in the pack the audience believes to be. the joker. Really, 1t Is the other card. The joker stays on the top of the pack for the finish of the trick. (Clop this out and paste it, with other of the series, in a scrapbook.) SUMMER HEAT HARD ON BABY HEALTH EDUCATION BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario Dr. Middleton will be glad to answer questlona on Public Health nate. ters through this column. Address him at Spadi is House, Statin Crescent, Toronto. 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, 831. 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 linos must be of full strength. Dissolve the sodium car- bonate in 17 ounces of hot water. Add No season of the year is so danger- ous to the life of little ones as is the summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby May be beyond all human help before the mother realizes he is 1.11.

So many women play the organ in church these days that it is surprising that none bas as yet achieved any very great distinction, :considering the lightness of touch of the modern organ. Probably the first women to attain distinction in this 'field were Ann and Elizabeth Mounsey, two Eng- lish lakes who lived in'tho first half of the nineteenth century. The elder of these, Ann Shepherd, held import- ant posts 1n London, and wo learn with, interest that in 1843 she gave the first of six series of Classical Concerts at Crosby Hall, London, for one of which Meudelssohn composed "Hear My Prayer," for voices and organ, first performed January 8, 1845. The younger sister, Elizabeth, was for many years organist of St. Peter's, Cornhill. Besides the organ and plane we discover with some amazement, She was also a virtuoso on the guitar, and appeared in public as a performer on the instrument. This to as bad as Dussek, the virtuoso pianist, whoalso played the musical glasses. MONEY ORDERS. Send a Deminien Express Money. Odder.
