For the purpose of this trick, you require half a dozen cents, of
which the center portion has been cut out, leaving each a mere rim of
metal. Upon these is placed a complete cent, and the whole are
connected together by a rivet, running through the whole thickness of
the pile. When placed upon the table, with the complete coin upward,
they have all the appearance of a pile of ordinary pennies, the slight
lateral play allowed by the rivet aiding the illusion. A little
leather cap (shaped something like a fez, with a little button on the
top, and of such size as to fit loosely over the pile of cents) with
an ordinary die, such as backgammon is played with, complete the
necessary apparatus.

Another capital dodge is that recommended by Dr

Another capital dodge is that recommended by Dr. Franklin, in which
the buoyant power of water is still more strikingly exemplified.
Procure an egg or lump of chalk of an easily handled shape, and, when
the water is up to your chest, face the shore and let the egg drop in
front of you. Now take breath, shut your mouth, but not your eyes,
which you can open and shut as easily in the water as out, duck under,
and try to pick up the egg. You will find that while your legs rise
from the bottom you will have to struggle with your arms to get down
far enough to reach the ‘egg,’ owing to the great resistance offered
by the water, and two or three attempts may be necessary to accomplish
your object. You can come up at any moment by depressing the feet,
and, as you face the shore, your struggles are working you into
shallower water, so that the experiment is a safe one enough.

In the back somersault great care should be taken that the diver leaps

far, so as to be free and clear of the board when he turns; otherwise
his head may strike with bad results

A boy can practice the above, and I would advise him to do so, but it

takes at least two boys to make a game–just as it takes two to make a
quarrel, and you must never be one of the latter
A boy can practice the above, and I would advise him to do so, but it
takes at least two boys to make a game–just as it takes two to make a
quarrel, and you must never be one of the latter. Just here let me say
that the boy who loses his temper, or who has not the manhood to
accept defeat in the right spirit, does not make a desirable friend or
playmate, for if he cannot conquer himself he is unfit to contest in
the sports of youth or in the business of maturer years.

Bike parties that make explorations lasting for days, or even for

weeks, are now not unusual, and if they travel prepared to make camp
wherever night overtakes them, the more healthful the sport and the
more novel and independent the tour
Bike parties that make explorations lasting for days, or even for
weeks, are now not unusual, and if they travel prepared to make camp
wherever night overtakes them, the more healthful the sport and the
more novel and independent the tour. You should know how to carry the
necessary baggage on your wheel. It is customary in ordinary wheeling
to strip a machine of every ounce of weight not necessary. Many riders
travel without even a tool bag, pump or wrench. The additional weight
of a few tools cannot be sufficient to make much difference to a
rider.
