A email toy theater atage preaenta tha beat setting for tha trick, although Prom Behind tha Scenes. ft can be dwe ou u ordinary table, but with the stage setting by far tha beet affects may be obtained. You can easily fashion a aat of mountain scenery by cutting oat moun tain» from colored pictures In old sug aslnes and sailing them vp either la the slita of the atage or oa small wood en stand mounts If you have no toy theater. Two "wings" of Mountain acenery will be enough—that la, tha front arlag which la tha mountain aide la the fore ground, and the other "wing" made up of the hills la the background as ahown in the picture. Now cut out a very small picture at a sheep and paste It on the "wlag" la the foreground at point A. Now cut out a small eagle from flaa tissue paper. A small aewlag needle should be procuipd. Thread It with a piece of fine thread about a toot la length and run It lenfthwlae through the body of the paper eagle. The moat Important thing of all to secure la a very atrong msgaec You place the theater or table la such a way as to enable you to stand directly behind the stage, where you can use both hands at the same time. Take the magnet in your right baad and place It at the point marked A behind the mountain and out of night of the audi ence The needle eagle starts to ty toward the iartoiole magnet.

The audience seea only the eagle, and, of course. Is greatly mystified. If your hand is steady you may di rect the eagle's flight at will, being careful to always keep the Magnet oat of sight beblud the scenes. The Left Hand. It to strange that so strong a preju dice against the left hand has lived and Increased for centuries when there ia no natural or physiological reason for It. Examination of the skeleton of a person who was strong, healthy and well formed la life ahows that tha. bones of the left hand and arm are Just as large and capable aa thoae of tha right. The study of phyalology shows, too, that the musclsa aad ligaments and oariilages that fastened that person's arms to his body aad gave him tha power of motion were made to do their work Just as waif oa one aide of tha body as on tha other. If the left side waa the weaker ft waa because of the failure to exercise it aa freely aa tha other. Monkeys, cats, dogs aad other ani mals would be likely to amlle —If they could —at the absurdity of their pawa "being rights and lsfls or that the paw on one side to stronger, thaa oa tha other. And yet we hear boys aad girls say that they can throw a ban. handle a racket or do anything else only with tha tight hand, which seems to prove that they are not ao well formed aa tha aalmala named. On the contrary, a hu man being is ths moat perfectly formed of all creatures. It is all ajaiatter of education. Chil dren should be taaght to use the left hand as much aa the right There would be ao dUtealty about ft at all; but when a person who haa been taught to use the right haad to the ex clusion of the left attempts to nas tha left, of course he finds it awkward and discouraging.

This bear made no sound whatever when I flirt bit It. aad 1 do not thl&k it wan charg ing. I believe It was simply dazed, and by accident raa the wrong way, and so almost came Into collision with as. However, when it found itself face to face with the white hunter, and only four or Ave feet jiway. It pre pared for hostilities, and I think woald hav* mauled him If I had not brained It with another ballet; for I was myself standing but all feet or so to one aide of It. None of the bears shot on this Colorado trip made a sound when hit; they all died ailent ly, like so many wolves. Ordinarily, my experience has been that bears were not flurried when I anddenly came upon them. They Impressed me as U they were always keeping In mind the place to ward which they wished to retreat In the event of daager, and for this iflace, which was Invariably a piece mi rough ground or denae timber, they mado off with all possible speed, not seeming to loae their heads. frequently I have been able to watch bears for some time while my self nnobaerved. With other game I have very often done this even when within cloee range, not wishing to kill creatures needle«sly. or withP'it a good object; bnt with bears, my experience has been that chances to ascure them come so seldom as to make It very distinctly worth while Improving any that do come.—New York Mall.
