Soap Bubble Over a Flower.
A very pretty experiment Is mating
x big Boap bubble with n flower insido
it. As the bubble ought to last some
time that It may be seen and admired
by everybody in reach, the best pos-
sible soap solution should be used so
thatJhe film may bo strong. This tnay
be accomplished by pouring a little
gxycerlne Into the solution.
Now take n largo dinner plate, and
pour tho solution Into It, to the depth
at about one-eighth of an inch. Then
place a flower—a rose, u carnation, or
iny othor you choose — In the centre
of the plate, and over It place an
• - ordinary tin funnel.
IBlow gently Into the small end of
the funnel, and lift it slowly and
gradually at the same time. Keep on
fC blowing until a good-sized bubble lias
formed, arid then gently disengage tho
runnel. This may ho done by turn
Ipg It at right angles, hut you must
beg you will have tho kindness to
promenade a little!" You now walk
around tile table, and the lady act-
ually as requested, and to the surprise
of tho spectators promenades slowly
upon the table.

There is represented on this clock
face twolvo household articles. When
the names of the articles are written

How to Raise Rabbits.
Wild rabbits are much more Intelli-
gent than others, and if you got ono
or two wild baby bunnies and feed
them on milk they will soon get quite
tamo.

he very careful to avoid breaking the
bubble.
When the funnel his been disen-
gaged there will he a large bubble on
tho plate, In the centre of which is
tho flower, and those who did not seo
the bubble blown will wonder how the
flowor got there.
The Obedient Ball.
For the purpose of this trick a
j; wooden ball, two inches or so in diam-
jeter,will bo required; an old cro-
quet ball will suit the purpose admir-
ably. This hall must be bored with a
red hot Irou, not straight from cud
to end, but so as to form a sort of
angle in the middle, but the points
1 where the hole begins and ends should
be opposite each other.
I .'«$■ Through the lnfle thus formed pass
a piece of thin cord or string, and at
| ijr each end of this tie a large knot, so
as not to allow either of the ends to
1 pass through the hole in the ball.
Now you are ready to perform the
R trick, place one end of the string un-
* der your foot and take tho other la
| your light hand, holding the string
V rather slack. Lift the ball up to the
•f top of the string, and lot go of it when
v it will of course run rapidly down the
| string.
Repeat this several times In order
to show the audience that the bull
| runs down the string quite freely, and
tell them that you can cause tho ball
i to become quite obedient to your will.
Again raise the hall to tho top of
1 the string and allow it to run down
.. quite freely, as before, until it reach
j the centre, then tighten the string;
^ this causes the latter to bo, us it were*,
| gripped by the angle in the centre
■ of the ball, which will thereby be pre-
vented front falling further down tho
i string. Ask the ball to drop to the
* bottom, slacken the string, and the
ball will obey you. Raise the hall ,
* again, and ask it to go down the string
( slowly; this is easily done by keep
; ing the string moderately tight.
Invite any of the company to se-
lect a particular spot in the string at
I which the ball must remain stationary,
I this being accomplished by tightening
* the string as before when the ball
has reached the desired spot.
The trick can be repeated as often
( as desired, as it gives no clue to the
I secret. If the slackening and tiglnen-
! I jng of the string be properly managed
| it will be unonticed by the company.
The Marching Ca-d.
Take the queen of hearts and fasten
to It by means of a little wax a long
auburn hair. The other end of the
hair you attach to your coat button.
Place the card upon the complete
pack, Bhuffle carefully, so that tho
card keeps its place upon the top, and
then lay the pack upon the table and
cry “March!” You do not move, and
of course the card remains quiet. You
repeat the order ' March!” several
times, but the card is motionless.
,You appear to be surprised, reflect a
awhile, however, and then say, that
probably the card is a lady, and of
course not accustomed to obey orders;
that she must be treated with ntor*
politeness. You then approach the
Ubie, take up the top card, when it
^rtll appear that the card in question
is a lady. You then exclaim—“Very
•vreli! we shall persuade her. however,
for no l»dy refuses a polite and cour-
teous request." "My dear madame, I
Bunnies should have their coats
brushed every day, just like you have
your hair combed and brushed, for it
makes their fur grow and keeps it soft
and shiny.
Bran, grain, peas, parsley, carrots,
turnip tops and a few cabbage leaves
are the things that rabbits like to
eat, and a dish of clean water should
always bo kept in the hutch.
Thfe bunnies should be allowed to
run about outside ttieir hutch for half
an hour every day, and only one fam-
ily at a time, or else, I am sorry to
say, there’ll lie ructions, as rabbits are
rather naughty about lighting.
A good hutch can easily he made
from a grocer's box, by covering the
open from with some wire uetting and
making a little door.
The hutch should he raised a
few inches from the "round, and holes
bored In (he bottom for drainage.

on for something to amuse a company.
Right players take part in It. They
seat themselves in a row or a rirr'.e,
ami the first player whispers to his
neighbor on tho left the article "the”
or “a." The second player wh
to his left-hand neighbor an adjective;
the third a noun In the singular num-
ber, the fourth a verb, the fifth an ad-
verb, the sixth a number, the seventh
an adjective and the eighth a nouu
in the plural number.
You may Imagine that these whis-
pered words, when Joined in a sen-
tence, will make an amusing mixture,
for no one knows, of course, what
word his neighbor on the right has.
Suppose, for example, tho first player
whispers the article “the,” the second
“intellectual," the third "camel," tho
fourth "waltzed,” the fifth “amiably”
the sixth “fifty,” the seventh "down-
hearted," the eighth "hyenas." Thera
you have the completed sentence.
“The Intellectual cnmel waltzed
amiably fifty downhearted hyenas.”
Ono ridiculous sentence after an-
other may he formed in this way until
tho party tiros of tho game.
Needles as Spear.
Take a darning needle of medium
size and stand three yards away from
a door, holding the needle between
the thumb and index linger, fi'ltrow
the needle like a spear and try to
fasten it onto the door. You will
never succeed, no niatter how hard
you try.
But by putting a piece of thread
fltrough the eye of tho needle you
Tailor Costumes.
There is no time of year when this
class .of dress is not a necessity In a
woman's wardrobe; it must adapt
Itself to circumstances. To meet tho
needs of spring and summer the coat
must either he discardable or suitable
to w-ear indoors and out. Many are
worn without a shirt or blouse or un-
derbodice of any kind, only a vest at
the threat, generally transparent, or a
lace scarf daintily tied.
This sort of garment "has rather ex-
tended its field -and is being made, not
only In glace sometimes, but very
often in etamlne, canvas. grer*dine
and even In voile and crepe de chine.
So It happens that tho tailor takes tho
dressmaker’s place, and that the
dressmaker is doing tailor s work and
Is even pending out serges, friezes or
cloth suits.
GARDEN PARTY TOILETS.
The Short Skirt Suit.
A pretty way of making a short
skirt suit is shown in a costume of
heavy toile, in a white and black
quadrille pattern. The skirt is
trimmed on the sides by clusters of
long tabs, growing broader toward the
bottom, where they finish with a point
and small gold buttons. The bolero
has a collar making a point over the
sleeve, and a stole in front that fin-
ishes at the bottom of the jacket with
pointed ends. Buttons are also used
here. There is a little inner vest of
tomato red- linen, trimmed with but-
tons. The costume is completed fey a
white linen skirt and a white leather
belt

To Guess Several Drawn Cards.
For this trick you employ a pack,
consisting entirely of similar cards,
from which you lot two or three per-
sons draw cards. They should not sit
too closely together, however, lost one
should see (he cards drawn by the
others.; They note their cards and re-
place them in the pack. Y'ou turn, nr.d
while pretending to look through the
pack, you take two ether cards which
you must have at hand, place with
them a card out of tiro pack, and ap-
proach those persons who have drawn
cards, asking each if his card is cot
among the three. On receiving an
answer in the affirmative you point
out the drawn card.

Decorated Larkspur.
Larkspur is becoming popular for
floral decoration and the new varie-
ties of it are much handsomer than
the old-time blossom with its deep blue
petals. The modern flower is lighter

lighter varieties there are two distinct
shades and they are more decidedly
blue than the larkspur of ottr grand-
mother's day, for that suggested pur-
ple colorings.

Tea Frock.
Tho young English girl of the period
is responsible for a rather nice innova-
tion, namely, the tea frock. The tea
gown is being considered one of her
prerogatives, she has looked around
for something in the nature of a grace-
ful irdoor frock of simplified structure,
and tho tea frock is tlie upshot. With-
out being a princess robe, it is an all-
in-one gown, and, while far from a
.negligee, it Is intended to he worn
without corsets. Voile de sole, crepe
de chine and soft silks are developed
into tea frocks, and lace is used in pro-
fusion, daintiness and elegance being
desiderata. The fact that the tea
frock dispenses with hooks, eyes, pins
and all such weariness is a point in its
favor
Idea From France.
With his costumes tailleur, which
are so near to tailor-made gotlr.s as
French dressmakers approach, a cele-
brated man milliner supplies very-
light slips of fine batiste incrusted all
over with lace incerttons. They are
designed to relieve the severity of the
outer gown, as the popular lingerie
waiste relieves the plainness of the
two-piece linen walking gowns.

TALKS
To tell if a cantaloupe is ripe, dig
lyour„ finger nail into the stem. If you
'«m detect the melon odor on your
finger tip the melon is ripe.
If you need to use-plaster of parls
for stopping cracks, mix It with vine-
gar. Vinegar prevents its settling too
quickly and makes it easy of manipu-
lation.
Put baby’s bathtub on a box, in-
stead of on the floor, and you can give
the little one a bath in greater comfort
to yourself, sit down to it, and have
it the right height.
Chocolate lemonade is said to be a
delicious drink by those fond of the
brown confection. Make an ordinary
plain lemonade, and to each glass

Refrigerator hints;
Do not flood it with boiling water.
Keep the ice compartment full of
ice.
Do r.ot put hot foods into the refrig-
erator.
The more the ico the greater the
economy.
Ice-saving schemes are absurd, de-
feating the purpose of the refrigerator.
Overripe fruits ar.d vegetables are a
menace to the health if left in tho
refrigerator.
If much ice he used on the table and I
for other puposes an authority advises
a storage box for this extra ice.
It is the food that is to be kept in-
stead of the ire. Keeping ice in tho
sick-room or at a picnic is another
matter.
A cellar or other damp place is no
place for tho refrigerator. On the
other hand, it should not he put out of
doors unprotected.
It should be sponged out often with
warm water in which a little soda has
been dissolved and the drain should
not he neglected.
For Shrunken :T!annel.
It is possible to wash flannels with-
out shrinking them, but the average
laundress does not know the process.
Therefore it is worth while to know
how to restore shrunken garments to
their original size, or something, like
it. Try laying the article to be re-
stored on the ironing board, and lay-
on it a piece of cheesecloth which lias
ISten wrung out of cold water. Press
with a hot iron until the cheesecloth
Is perfectly dry. The garment will
show a marked improvement.
