A very pretty eniicrltnenl Is making a big sosp but. t.le with s flower Inside It As th buhlile ought to last some time that It may he seen and admired by everybody In rcai h. the best pos-slbl pos-slbl soap solution should be uccd so thst the lm may be strong. This may be accomplished by pouring a little gryrerlne Into the solution. Now take a large dinner piste, rnd pour thol"tlnn Into It, to th depth of about one-eighth of an Inch. Then plac a flower a rose, a rarnatlon, or any other you choose In the centre of the flnte. and over It place an ordinary tin funnel. lllow pently Into the small end of th funnel, and lift It slowly and graduallf st tho same time. Keep on blowing mill a good sized bubble hss formed, snd then gently dlnencago the funnel, 'This may be dune by turn-Ing turn-Ing It at right angles, but you must I i'L'ni il i Y lrf ' How Old th Rose Get Theref be very careful to avoid breaking tho bubble. Wliun the funnel his been disengaged disen-gaged there will be a large bubble on the plate. In the centra of which la th flower, and those who did not see the buhlile blown will woudur bow the flower got there. The Obedient Ball. For the purpose of this trick a woodes baU, two Inches or so In dlam-tor. dlam-tor. .RliaJiO required; an old croquet cro-quet bill will arti 1 1 tho purpose admirably. admir-ably. Dili ball must be bored with a rod bat iron, nut straight from end to end, but so as to form a sort of anglo in the middle, but the points where the hole begins and ends should be oppnslto each other. Through tho hole thus formed psss a plecs of thin cord or string, and at each and of this tie a large knot, so as not to allow either of the ends to pass through tha hole In tbe ball. Now ou arn ready to perform tbe trick. I'luro one end of the string under un-der your foot and tako the otlior In vour tight band, holding the string rather Hack. I. lit the ball up to the top of the string, and lot go of It when It w ill of courso run rapidly down the string. ' to show th audience, that th ball rum dnwn the string quite freely, and tell tlirm that you ran cause the ball to become quite obedient to your .will. Ar.nl raise the ball to tho top of the string and allow It to run down qulto freely, as liefore, until It reaches the centro. then tighten the string; this rsuios the latter to be, as It were, gripped by tho angle In th centra .of the ball, which will thereby bs pre-vtmtoil pre-vtmtoil from falling further down tho string. Ask tho ball to drop to tha bottom, slacken the string, snd the ball obey you. Ifulnu tho ball ai;a!n, and auk It to go down the string slowly: this Is cnxlly done- by kocp-Ing kocp-Ing the Itrlng moderately tight. Invite any of the company to soled so-led a particular spot In tho string at which tfc" bull ui'ist remain slntlutiary, this li'l1 aecoippMsliod by lightening the strliK as before when tho ball has rcsrlied tho do ilred spot. The trick can ho repeated as often as desired, as It gives no clue to the secret. If the slackening and tlithteu-ing tlithteu-ing of the string bo properly managed It will be uuontlccd by the conipuny. The Mjirchlng Card.
