The collar Is pointed, as Is also the cuff, which finishes the bishop sleeve., The skirt Is circular In shaping, and the deep plaits give not only a pretty effect, but add fullness to the skirt. The design Is appropriate for wash goods, silk or woolen, and will make a charming little school frock when made up of dark blue serge, trimmed with large buttons, or shaped hands of contrasting material might be used over the Bhoulder and on the skirt in place of buttons. With such a little cress one might wear a leather belt and the result would be most gratifying. , . -- A Word on 8kirti and Sleeves.

An ordinary slate, such a3 children write on, is shown to the auuience; to prove that nothing is written upon It, both sides are rubbed with a wet A chair is brought to the sponge. foreground, the seat of which Is covered with a black cioth. Then the performer asks any girl In the audience be kind enough to give her first name and offers to let the slate guess the date of .her birth. After the name Is given, the performer places the slate on the chair, and lays a piece of chalk upon It. After making a few motions over the slate io Indicate that the writing Is going on, the performer lifts up the slate and behold! One side of the slate shows the correct name and date of birth. . This seems to be a trick hard to explain, but nevertheless It Is a very simple one. Take a plain slate, on one side of which the name and the date is previously written. A friend of the performer Is instructed to call the name so quickly that no one else can get ahead of hire. All that is left to do is to secrete the name and date on the slate until it is time for it to appear. To do this you will have to get a piece of cardboard, fitting exactly over the black part of the slate, both side of which are covered smoothly with black slate paper. Sheet b is laid over the side of the slate with the writing on it (at. Place the slate with the sheet over it face down on the chair. When you are going to show the secret writing to the audience, lift the slate la such a way that the sheet You say there war The Lady some very affectionate passenger In the car you came on.

Cut off the flap of paper that laps over and bind all the edges with cheap blue or pink ribbon, allowing strings and a bow to hang up. Make bows at the corners as shown, and if desired paste a piece of tinted paper across the front and paint a spray of flowers in the center. The youngest Outlook could made less dense by heating, its pressure so long as it remained hot was equal to that of the outside air; but, after It cooled, its pressure was less, so that the outside air pressed the glasses tightly together. The paper Is very likely to burst during the experiment, but that makes no difference, sb even when the air In the two glasses Is mixed together It is, on the whole; lighter and rarer than the external air, and therefore exerts . less pressure. Perhaps yon may wonder why this experiment is called The Magdeburg as the tumblers are Hemispheres, cylindrical or conical, not hemispherical, and the trick may be done in Hohokus as well as Magdeburg. This is why: Is Magdeburg, Germany, some 2S0 years ago there lived a burgomaster (mayor) named Otto von Guericke, who was also a man of science, so far as there was any science In those days. He made the first electrical machine and also the first air pump, or apparatus for rarlfy-in- g and exhausting the air from a globe, jar or other vessel. .. To show the pressure of the air, he made two hollow hemispheres of brass, fitted their edges together, pumped out the air from the space of paper stays upon the black cloth, within, attached eight horses to each waere It (being black too) cannot be hemisphere and then tried to drive r t discerned. the two eight-horsteams in opposite directions.
