Take a piece of card board, cut to the shape of a chick’s foot, with a small piece to go up the leg. Rub the chick's foot with vaseline and wrap each toe and the leg in cotton wool, then sew the toes straight out on the cardboard with some soft mending wool, taking care not to prick the toes, and tie the leg piece round the leg. This _keeps it firm. Keep the splint on for forty-eight hours, and when taken off the toes will be found quite straight. It is best to put the splint on as soon as possible after the chicken is hatched, as it keeps quiet- er and also its toes are more supple, but I did one the other day that was sed it for kidney — Mrs. E.

In the course of his introductory remarks to the audience, he states that he is but an ordinary human being, but possesses the power to release him- self from any manacle that any mem- ber of the audience wishes to put on him, and that, furthermore, in most cases he can escape in a shorter time than it takes to bind him. His challenge is forthwith accepted and a small delegation of citizens or police officials, chosen from the audience, proceeds to lock and se- cure him in such a manner that it seems manifestly impossibly for him to free himself. Yet after disappear- ing into his cabinet for a few seconds, , he reappears as entirely free from his manacles as though they had never been locked on him. lengthy illustrated article in tne June number of Popular Mechanics.
