' A prize . should be' awarded to the one who first solves all the picture puzzles, and this prize may be one of the Ailed stockings.1 They can easily be filled at home for 25 cents each. The . same contest "tnay be given ; for older chil dren by using anagrams Instead of the picture puzzles, and these will be foUnd less troublesome to prepare. If desired Christmas boxes may be used instead of the stockings.. Place the . puzzles or anagrams in small boxes, packing in with cotton as if fragile, and tie up and mark, the boxes ' as If they had come by express or tnaiL v PARLOR MAGIC. A Clever Candle Trick That Wil : Amuse the Youngsters. ' Here is a parlor magic trick .which never falls to capture an audience and which, at the same time. Is so simple that any one can do it. Ton need six or more candles and as many candle sticks, or you can get along without the candlesticks by holding a lighted match to the bottom of each of the candles, and then, when it has softened ever so slightly, setting the candle firmly In a saucer. The wax or tallow will harden in a moment, holding the candle erect in its place. Make a hole in one side of each can die, cutting clear through until the wick is severed. These holes must be at various distances from the top dif ferent in each candle. Now, if you should light one of these candles it would burn steadily until the flame got down to the hole, when the "cut in the wick would cause the candle to go out If you should light them all together they would go out 'at different' times, as the holes are. at dif . ferent places. This is where your trick comes in. Place your candles in a row on a table with the boles away from your audience aifd then light all six. Now. you begin to relate a story about a little girl who was alone in the house, and was afraid of the dack and who lighted six candles to keep up her cour age. She heard queer noises about the house, and drew close to the light and then (pointing to the candle with the hole nearest the top) the first candle went out Of course you time -youi first words, so that you say "out" just before the flame reaches the hole. As you reach the second point in your tale ,the second candle goes out and so on throughout the rest of the six You may have the holes vary but a fraction of an inch in their distances from the tep"of the candle and tell a very short story, or you may have your tale a long one, with the distances ) of the holes from the top to vary an, inch or so. By first lighting one candle and watching it burn for a few minutes you wreath lies upon a table. As In the - . k, , r.. If you do not have the candles go out In rotation, but skip around from the first to the, fifth, then' to the second. n mms j m m mm - . w MUM mm m -. r.--. .
