The final curtains fall; The actors leave the noisy stage At death's resistless call. The lights go out the music stills The voices lull and cease The strife tor place Is merged at last In deep abiding peace. Beyond the veil we cannot pierce With our earth-blinded eyes. These mighty actors doubtless see Far nobler visions rise. The hopes that guided all through life The dreams they fondly prized In that strange country just beyond May all be realized.

Nothing adds more to the attractive ness of a room than a pot of ferns. But how to manage ferns when they come from the fiorist is what rew housewives know. If the intention d to put them singly they should be re potted in a size larger oniy man uo pots they have occupied. If received by mail, with the soil wasnea irum roots, put the plants into as small pots as will naturally accommodate the size of their roots. Place bits of charcoal or broken pottery an inch in depth in the bottom of the pot for drainage. Cover this with a thin layer of moss or leafy refuse to prevent the soil from washing through. An ideal soil is rioh, flaky leaf mold, with one-fourth part coarse, sharp sand well mixed in. In the absence of leaf mold well-rotted sod, rich in decayed roots, is excellent, or chip dirt, mixed with decayed straw nr such matter with either of these use the same proportion of sand. One need not always go to the woods for leaf mold; in many a sheltered fence corner and under the edge of walks the leaves from shade and other trees find lodgment year after year and de cay. Manure should not be p.dded to the soil for ferns; an exception nia ne - i not be redeemed until each individual made with very strone-growing ane- hand accepted the Christ and hd his ties a little may be added with bene- sins w .shcd white in the blood of the flcial results lr so inoror.gn.y u that It lOOKS UKe ricil, Uiacn. caiiu. mD.

His revelations about the ap pearance and manners of the Inhabi tants of other planets were incorporat ed in my writings, always with the ut most confidence till modern instru ments discovered five satellites of Jupi ter and nine of Saturn, whereas what 1 believed was the spirit of Galileo al ways affirmed to be that Jupiter had four moons and Saturn eight. Yon must understand, however, that I do not renounce a'.l belief in spirituai manifestations, the existence of which has been proved beyond a doubt. 1 have simply reached the eoncluslor that such manifestations cannot be at tributed to the spirits of dead people I see additional proof that the pbenom ena so far as ascribed to the dead really emanates from psychic force pro jected by the living. In fact the called revelations are always confined to things known, suspected or desired by somebody present."

You attached two bills together, ore at the foot ol the other so that it would hang down when the first one was attached to the celling. Then you folded the hills up, with a tack thrust point upward through the top of the bill, with a sil ver dollar ii!i!er it. up against the head and bfiv it and the other folds of paper iu. r it. Then, sometime nen the room was full of people this might be a hotel office or perhaps a barroom-ou tossed the bills up. and there was weight enough in the dollar to drive il-e tack into the celling far enough to told. Then the weight of the paper itself and of the dollar would open the bills out, and the coin would drop and you catch it as it fell. The bills would be seen, fastened up there somehow, most of the people wouldn't know how, and opening out with the lower bill hanging bo you could read it.
