Washington Star. Cdd Way to Lift a Glass. You can surprise people very much by laying your hand, with apparent carelessness, on a tumbler or wine glass nearly full of water and then lifting the glass, water and all, by raisins your hand, with the flngors outstretched in order to prove that von do not take hold of the glass in anv way. Probably there will be some people whom you will not sur prise. These will say, "Oh, that's easy," try to do tiie trick themselves and lull. The secret of success Is this: Though your lingers are straight when you litt the glass, they must be bent downward sharply when you place your palm upon it. You must press your hand down rather firmly in or dor to make an air-tight joint between it and the rim of the glass, which should be wet to make the joint tight er. Now suddenly straighten your fingers and lift your hand. This mo tion of the fingers causes the flesh ol the palm to move In such a way as-' to cause a partial vacuum, a suc tion which you can feel distinctly. The space between the water and your hand is made a little larger, and therefore the air in that space is rare fied or made thinner and exerts less pressure. Therefore, the greater air pressure outside, acting on the bot tom and sides of the glass, forces it upward against your hand strongly enough to lift both glass and water when you raise your hand. This trick requires some practice before it can be done with certainty and had better not be attempted with a very thin oi valuable glass or in a place where spilled water will do linnn. Above all, do not use a very thin BLy.-.-'. : . : . . . Lifting a Glass of Water, glass, for even If It does not drop you may break It by mere pressure and cut your hnud.x Besides, thin glasses are very apt to have little nicks In the edge which will both cut you and spoil the trick by letting In air. Tho glass must bo a small one, as It has to be well covered by the palm of your hand. An egg cup or a wine glass with a stem Is best. If you use a tumbler which, being small In diameter, will probably bo not very tall you will have to hold It in the other hand or set It on an inverted tumbler or a block of wood In order to get room to bend your fingers down properly. The trick seems especially difficult because the hand is fiat aud the glass nearly full of water, but these are the very things that make It possible. You cannot lift the glass with your fingers bent unless, of course, you actually take hold of It as it is the straight ening of the fingers that causes the suction. You cannot lift an empty glass tin; less It is a very small one. The longer the space under your hand Is, the greater change in tho air pressure you can make by the motion of your fingers. A Hen With a Collar. One of our readers who lives in tho city received a fluffy little yellow chick for an Easter present. He kept Esther and Her Collar, it about the house for some time, and it grew so fast that one could almost see it get larger. At last it quite lost all its daintiness and became a scrawny, coarse-voiced, stubby-feathered nuisance, but its little owner thought as much of it as ever. It was too big to have about the house and was finally sent to tho country and its owner did not -see It for a year. Months later the llttlu fellow visit ed his grandparents at their country place and found Esther, his pet, grown to a full-fledged hen. Strange to say, while she evidently remembered him, she was shy. for some time, and it was several days before the two were on their former friendly terms. Now came a complication. As n was garden time and fresh, tender, green things were springing up on eery side, the chickens were all shut up in a great wire chicken yard. Roy did not caro to go there every time ho wanted to see Esther, and it would never do lo give her liberty, for she would bo sure to destroy a lot of gar den things. Roy's grandfather solved tho problem. He took an old umbrella rib, bent it till it formed a circle, lashed the ends firmly together, and covered the hoop so formed with some strong mus lin. In the center of this a hole was cut just large enough to go over Es. User's head. When Esther's head was poppet1! through this hole she was a very much surprised and indignant hen, aud she made an awful fuss about it. Still, she had to submit, for she could not get out of her strange collar, so after a time she became resigned to it. It kept Esther from going about picking tho gardens, and she would not scratch because she could not see what she was scratching, and so her liberty did no harm. Has Lincoln's Old Wagon.
