WHERE IS IT? 8 KNOT DIFFIQULT TO OPEN 2 & THE SPINNING WATER WHEEL = To open a knot made from human hair would be difficult for even Alexander, who opened the Gordian knot. It seems difficult, indeed, to open such a knot in the regular way, but it is easy when the following directions are given: Wet the left hand near the little finger where a groove appears when the hand is being Open a raw egg a little on both ends to allow some of the white to run out. Take | first-class alcohol of high percentage and pour it in the openings. Close the two openings with your fingers, as shown in illustration, or with little pieces of wax; shake the egg well, so the alcohol can S « RBOIL AN EGG WITHOUT FIRE « closed. Then place the hair in the hand, With the knot in such a position as shown in figure, and close the hand. By hitting the hand against the knee the friction caused by the hitting will open the knot so far that a pin can be inserted. Then it is easy to open the knot altogether. Penetrate every particle of it. After three or four minutes the contents of the esE will apparently be hard, so that the egg can be opened and pressed as hard-boiled. It goes without saying that the egg is not warm, as the alcohol has only made the white solid. The egg does not taste bad, only strongly of alcohol.

Part of the broad end of the wal- nut is cut off and the contents removed. Near the pointed end two holes are bored of the diameter of the straw. In each of the two hazelnuts two holes are bored, as shown in illustration, and the contents of the nuts are carefully removed with the | help of a nutpicker. Both hazelnuts are connected with the walnut by two pieces of straw of even length (about thres inches), as shown in illustration.

Place the walnut with its pointed end en the cork of a bottle, whereby the whole system will be balanced. Pour a thin stream of water in the walnut; the water will run through the long pileces of the straw and the hazelnuts, coming out of the two small pleces of straw. Hereby the whole apparatus will come to a turn- ing motion, as the water exercises a pressure on the side of the hazelnut lying opposite the opening of the small pieces of straw. The holes in the nuts are best bored with the help of a redhot piece of wire to avold breaking the walls of the nuts. il @ fendant—If you were in that condition, your Honor, you probably did see me twice.—Philadelphia Press. “How's th ked the customer in the bookstore. st week the prices on Bacon and Lamb were only $1 25 and now you have marked them up to $3.” ell vou see,” explained the bookseller, the meat trust began cornering - plies—" But the customer hurried away to secure matinee tickets for “A T\ Steer” before the prices went up theater also.—Baltimore American.
