Ao wtsy trick is that of discovering a Igiven card. One method of doing it is to Ideal the cards into three packs, face up1 ward, and request a spectator to note a Iwd and rememlier in which heap it Is. I Wlien you have dealt, twenty-oue cards I throw the rest aside, these uot being reI quired in the trick. »Vsk in which heap tbe chosen card is, and placing that heap I U'tween the other two deal again as beI (on». Again ask the questiou, place the I heap indicated in the middle, and deal tgnin third time. Note particularly the I fourth or middle cord of e^ich heap, as one 1 of those three cards will be the card thought of. Ask for the last time in which hw»p the chosen canl now is, when you oay IK* certain that it is the card which you .noted as being the middle card of that heap. 1'liis same result, can be produced with •oy number of cards, so long as such namtor is odd and a multiple of three. The middle card in the hist heap indicated will I *hyays be the choscu card.

TWO VIEWS.
Said the cynic to the poet: "All your song is lying verse When you take the world and sUow it
Always better—never worse 1 Life is but a CIOUK of sorrows, Folding down Its somber side Close upon the bright to-inorrowa
That the future has denied. Fondest wishes, if wo gain them, Greet us with a smile and tear Dear desires, if we attain them.
Lose their luster as the near. You who sing in hnppy measure Aye of liRht and love and pleasure,
Uetter keep your fancies furled There is sueh strain of sadnesn Under all the seeming yluduess
In the world!"'
To the cynic said the poet: "Sorrow can not be denied: Yon who hate the world, and know it
Only on its darker hide. Life is but a garment: trouble Is the stormy wind that blows All the fabric backward double,
And the Kleauilag lining shows! Though this life hath sorrow in it, •TIs a garden gay with Jlowers: TlK-y may wear a rose who win it,
In this fair bright world of ours. yIf a Joy come to thee—shore it Take thy cloak, and n«»biy wear it:
Keep thy bitter taticies furled. Theri«. Is sueh a wraith of yiadm\ss Over all the seeming sadiiess^ .-
In the .world." —Fioronee Mny Alt, in Jury.

That Mnieintj Hull wasn popular sanitarium I was well aware, lint I was not prepared for this: what wa-. I In do. where should I jro at that late hour? I. a maiden lady, an entile stranger in the Catskills'.1 1 •insider that fur any man to smile under those eireumstanees. even in a perfunctory and purely professional way, was nothing less than brutal. "There is No. 37." said an attendant satellite, in exactly the tone in which he might have suu'jrested tint North Pole or the equinoctial line, or any other remote and unsubstantial impossibility. "Yes." repeated the doeior, musingly, as i£ a novel and pleasing problem had been unexpectedly submitted for bis consideration. "Yes. there is No. Hi." "l'erliaps the lady mitfht IIO', object." continued the attendant. "Object," said the doctor, suddenly waking up. "Good trra-eious, .lones, why should this lady object why should it in/ one object to No. 37'.'"
The subordinate was about to speak, but the doctor stopped him by a wave of his lmnd. "Let No. 37 be prepared for this lady," he said, jrivinfi to his words all the force of royal mandate. "I wish to know. Jant'." I observed to the housemaid who conducted me to No. 37 half an hour later "l'lease. ma'am." said that younjr person, interrupting:, "inv name Un'l Jane, it's Saliina." "Then I am not pomp to follow the example oS your parents and sponsors, who were clearly foolish persons. .I line. I repeat I wish to know what is the matter with this room?" "Oli, don't ask me, ma'am. I don't wish to frighten yon—lr.it—1 wouldn't Ceep in it— no—not for a hundred thousand million dollars." "Then you area very foolish .'younfr woman: is it damp'.'" "Oh. li". inadam: the whole house is dry as a bone." "It is the—the— ahem—the Ciiviix t'eetularius'.'" "Well. it. is pretty bad. but 1 don't think it's quite as bad as that." returned .lane, slowly, with an air of bewilderment.
It was painful to a lady of mv excessive reliiieni'-nt. exceedingly, painful, but the occasion was urgent, and it was evident that 1 must sink to a common level of expression if I wished to be understood. "It is small, .lane—it is brown—it is alive—very much alive—it—it bites'.*' "Oh. no. ina'am." answered Jam glowing' with sudden enlightenment, "we don't never have none of them 'lasty things in our beds." "Then irlml /.* it?"1"Well, if you must know." replied Jane, with the air (if one struggling vainly with the inevitable, "though it, if worth as innch as my place is worth to tell y«in—it's ghosts!" (iliosts—baugh l'cally the ignorance of the lower classes is colossal: clearly our public school system is far from perfect, but what cultl be expected from a girl called Snbina'.' 1 have always thought there was a great (leal in a name, and 1 don't i'i the least eare what that play writing person may have said to the contrary. There something in a name which insensibly molds the character mine is Sarah Margaret. "Ghosts, .lane, ghosts, when it has been clearly demonstrated by the Society for 1'sychical Ueseareh that there are no such things as ghosts." "It was the gambler, ma'am, what lived here before, it was made into sanitarium," .lane went on. with irrepressible volubility: "they was playing poker, an" he was killed, an' every night —every night—his ghost ".lane, enough of this folly-go. mv good girl, and to-morrow 1 will loan,you a work on the lllogicalness of Superstition."
Iteing a lady of enlightened understanding' and cultivated, indeed. 1 may say advanced thought. 1 at once dis missed the foolish story from my mind, and congratulated myself on having secured a comfortable room. itracing (lull was built on the highest range of the Catskill mountains and was famous for the view it. commanded of the loveliest section of Hip Van Winkle land: niglit now vailed the beauty of the far-stretching mountain-bound-ed intcrplane, but gradually its fairness became apparent, as the shadows below died under the light of early moon rise.
Objects dim and shapeless took form and beauty. Kvery house and hamlet, winding road and mountain streamlet •verc won us if from clioas into life,
while far away the winding Hudson gleamed like a string of silver under the moonlight. Lights in happy homes twinkled like iire-flies through the gloom of dense woods, giving just that touch of life needed to break the solemnity of forest and mountain.
The moon was up. nature awoke, a breeze swept by bearing the music of a tumbling brook, the melody of murmuring pines, the love notes of a belated bird singing to his mate.
How long 1 had slept I cannot tell, when suddenly I was wide-awake with the room brilliantly lit, and presenting an appearance totally different to what it had done when 1 retired. On a sideboard were half-emptied bottles and decanters, and at a table four men wenseated deeply engrossed over a game at iards. Great as was my astonishment to find my apartment thus invaded, I seemed to lose all personal considerations in watching the feverish anxiety the players, and in wondering what would happen next.
Suddenly their voices were raised in ingcr. one of the players accused anther of cheating, anil ill a moment there was a general uproar. The two men wen: struggling desperately together. glasses wen.* upset, chairs were iverturncd and then I caught the glitter a knife and the gleam of a pistol. I he two spectators made no attempt to separate the combatants, although it was evident that a tragedy was imminent. The taller of the two freed his hand from the other's grasp, the'long murderous looking knife was uplifted, but as it. descended t.he other raised his pistol and tired: there was the dull thud if a heavy body falling and then, overcome with horror. 1 lost consciousness.
How I attracted their attention I do not know, but suddenly I became aware that the remaining three were standing iver me calmly discussing my proposed death: my blood seemed to freeze in my veins and into those terrible moments was compressed the agony of years of torture. "She is sound asleep," said one. "an" anyhow I never did take kindly to killin' women." 'She has seen the deed done." said the second significantly. •That dead men tell no tales is just as true and truer of women." said the third, "so 1 hud better make it safe," laying as he spoke a murderous hand on my throat.
With a desperate effort 1 broke through the spell of horror that had held me 1 struck out wildly and en- 1 countered a soft resisting body, the lights were extinguished as I opened my eyes, and nothing remained but the sound as of some one hurriedly retreating. 1 never knew till that moment what a vast amount of stored shrieking force small woman possesses mine was suflieient in an incredibly short time to bring to iny room the doctor, the satellite, Jane Saliina and half a dozen guests, none of whom were remarkable for the careful finish of their dress.
With a graphic power that has entirely deserted me. or 1 should make my fortune as a story writer. I related what, had occurred. "It does not matter whether I was isleep or awake in retard to what I »inr. although of course 1 was awake, but I know 1 heard something hurry away, and I know that 1 felt something when 1 struck." I said in conclusion, pausing only through sheer physical inability to utter another word.
Snbina .lane incoherently remarked something to the effect that it was •just what she'd expected of them nasty ghostesscs" and then in company with the majority of my visitors disippeared. Tin1 doctor looked puz/.led and remained silent, the satellite howver spoke: he was never a voluble person. but on this occasion lie- confined himself to one word.

"Do you really think it—they—was rats'.'" gasped, growing ungramniatica) in my eonfusion.
Had 1 not felt well assured that the doctor was deeply impressed by my ghostly visitation 1 should have suid that he smiled, hut that of course was impossible at sueh a moment. Some people 1 have noticed are afllictcd with muscular twitching and wlieu I glanced at him again he was as solemn as a sphinx: even the satellite put his hand before his mouth and coughed in a nindest. self-deprecatory way. as if his feelings were too much for him. "1 will bring Mrs. Morris to remain with you' until you dress." said the doctor, "and then you had better take a sedative and share her room: to-mor-row I will have a thorough investigation made and if I find that any one is trying to perpetuate a stupid story by plaving a still more stupid practical joke. I'll-"
At this point the doctor's voice sank and although his remarks appeared to gain additional energy. I am under the impression they were not intended for my ears or for publication.
The result of the investigation showed that iny nocturnal visitors were rats, a small colony of which had evidently enjoyed undisputed possession of a spring mattress for a considerable period. And so the ghost of liraeing Hall was laid, but the oddest part was the satellite's guessing it for such a man it was quite remarkable, and showed great, natural perspicacity: the moment he heard my story, when every one else was quite at sea. he looked at the doctor and said: "Hats."—Mary llasbrouck, in Drake's Magazine.
Weight (if (lie Kartll.
As a matter of fact, the earth has no weight. Weight is the pull of gravity toward a center and when speaking of the weight of the earth we must consider the pull of gravity towards the sun. and ill that respect the earth is equally poised. All parts of the earth pressing toward the earth's center equalize each other, so that a tow line would pull the earth thousands of miles out, of its orbit. Hatlier than penetrate ati atmosphere of another body so thin that no animal life could exist in it. our earth would make a great circuit to get around it. The almost imperceptible attraction of onu of the other planets pulls our earth thousands of miles out of its regular path.—St. Joseph Herald.

Notable Feats in Advertising.
Frank Millet, the celebrated painter, was of course an unknown artist struggling for that recognition which the critics are so slow to give even 10 genius. But besides a talent for mixing colors yonng Millet had an advertising instinct and it was this which brought him succefs. He painted a picture of a lady in black sitting on a red sofa, with a yellow back ground. The ellect startled his friends but more liif.n h:« -'."nnunrement that he would take it to the «x— hibition. To the exhibition it went and the critics simply exhausted the English language in abusing it. But Millet's point was gained. He had attracted attention and always after that his pictures recewr-'. special attention from the critics who look the credit of his improvement to their criticism.
