Ladies Make Excellent Operators. * * y "The pursuit of mind reading as a profession," says a -writer in the Chicago Herald, "does not effect the nervous system more than other intellectual calling. Although the claims made in circulars of prominent mind readers are, in ? "* Avo^r?nM + !Ar?C' r\f fV?0 T4AC VCry jlJili L y CAa^ua^ivuo vi vuv j^/vw libilities of their performances, and, as such, are probably beyond the power of any man to accomplish, nevertheless, the work may be varied in form as indefinitely as the performer's brain is fertile of invention. "Before attempting the performance, the essential condition should be unmistakably impressed upon the minds of those who are to take part that the person to be led to the secreted article must concentrate the mind upon the > place where the article is hidden until that place has been reached by the mind reader and himself, and then upon the article itself. This mental concentration should be required as constantly as possible to the end. If the mind-reader fails, from the very nature of the work, the fault lies with the subject, for he must succeed if the subject fairly complies with this single condition. However, there occasionally may be found an individual incapable of prolonged or even brief mental concentration, because of great troubles, loss of gt fortune, or ill health and other causes. Such subjects should always be avoided, \ if possible, as the accomplishment of the trick with them is exceeding improbable, / if not altogether impossible. It follows, then, that the best minds available should always be chosen. The mind-reader has then nothing to do but to establish physioal contact between himself and his subject, and after starting a motion of his body in any direction quieily surrender himself to the involuntary muscular leading of his subject, when he will find himself led unconsciously to the proper place. Almost any physical contact will be sufficient, although Brown's method of placing the back of the subject's hand to his forehead is probable the best, because the most impressive. "When you have the back of the subject's hand to your forehead, start a swaying motion around, and go in the direction you find it easiest for the subject and yourself to move; go and you will be led to the place. If you lead him in a different direction than the one he is thinking of, you will find more resistance to moving him or his hand. To be blindfolded is not essential, although helpful, because it presents the appearance of rendering the work of the mindreader more difficult, while it really assists him in being passive to the leadings of his subject", as it shuts out from his mind all exterior directions. The body of any and every person has always an inclination, more or less strong, in the direction of the thoughts of the mind, more especially soil" the body is in motion. For instance, if you think of an object on your right, nccorapanying that thought will be a slight motion of the body in the'same direction. Then place vour mind uoon some other object in # ? ? - 4 ^ t ? | the opposite or any other direction, and over will go the body accordingly. The natural law of mutual dependence between mind and matter?or habit of harmony of action between the brain and body, or man or beast?is the secret of the whole mind-reading. It follows that all the mind-reader has to do is simply to observe carefully the action of the muscles of his subject's hand against his forehead and follow in the direction indicated by the subject's muscles; and he will find himself led unmistakably toward the place upon which the subject's mind is concentrated. Having reached the place, the mind-reader will feel around with one hand until the 6ecreted article is found, and as soon as his hand touches it?although he has no previous knowledge of its nature?he will recognize it instinctively, for his subject has unconsciously imparted such information by the relaxation of his muscles. As mind, unlike matter, is indivisible, or in other words, as it is impossible for a person's mind to be in two places at the same time, it is plainly to be seen that if the subject honestly concentrates his mind upon the article hidden he cannot discover the fact that he is leading the so-called mind-reader, instead of being led himself. It is quite obvious, from the foregoing explanation, that instead of the mind-reader b?ing the operator and leading the subject, as is generally sup- i posed, he is himself led by the subject; | hence the mind-reader is the subject and j . the subject the operator. To sum it up i in very few words, the mind-reader 'must ' fellow the least resistance.' "Ladies-, owing to their delicacy of touch, make excellent operat&rs. None ^ of them have become prominent in the V profession in this country, but a number ' ; abroad have. In conclusion I will give an instance of how a lady betrayed her -N^-^on in mind-reading. At a picnic, at^fled by a number of good friends, where all the amusements had been exhausted, I was asked to give a test in miud reading. Selecting a lady who, I thought, possessed great powers of concentrating her mind, I requested her to think of the one she loved best, and I, blindfolded, would lead her to him. She laughingly agreed, and being blindfolded, I commenced my search. She led me around the circle several times, leading me each time to a person whom she should have loved the best, but each time there was a wavering which convinced me that this was not the person. After much hesitancy on my part as to ,what the result might be we at last stopped in front of an old and dear 'friend of the lady, who she designated as -the one thought of, much to the surprise of the company. She afterward acknowledged that it was almost impossible for her to keep the first person out of her thoughts, which accounted for her indecision." Swallows Trained as Messengers. Swallows are being trained as messengers in France. Recent experiments at Roubaix prove that swallows can carry despatches quite as well as pigeons, and A the scheme is. now to bo officially tested at Lilie by a .Government expert. If the f trials are satisfactory, a'swallow cot will be established at Mount Yalerien, near Paris.' ' Carrier pigeons will be extensively used during the coming German army Imanceuvres, at Emperor William's special reouest. n i w m&MbA \ -v \ f " ' \ r- * ./ \ \ Pneblo Indians of New Mexico. | By far the most interesting inhabitants of the heart of New Mexico are the I Pueblo Indians. As to their origin, much has been, and more may be, surmised. | According to the traditions of the wise men, their forefathers came from the great mountains and lakes far to the northward ages upon ages ago. Fables and myths are interwoven with what may be legends founded upon fact; but the truth is difficult to separate from fiction. Their myths seem to refer to families rather than to entire tribes, and they are so strongly colored with imagery as to be susceptible of almost any interpre' ' ' * A ^ ?J?l.X *1. - + rt ration, /il nrst sigui; iud n.-uipuuiuu w connect the Pueblos dircctly with the ancient cliff-dwellers is very strong. Numerous ruined towns and villages, once belonging to this curious people, occur within the regions now occupied by the Pueblos. Every one has heard of the old stone houses, half hidden, in almost inaccessible nooks,on the steep faces of high bluffs, or built against rocky walls, much like the mud nests of swallows. Less well known are the cave dwellings, which afforded shelter to probably the same people at a later period. In some huge cliff of sandstone they hollowed out communicating caverns of various dimensions. Access from the outside was gained through low, narrow doors. Hound or square openings in the rock wall served as windows and supplied light and air. At favorable points several stories of such caves may be found in the same bluff. From these safe but dungeon-like habitation? the cliff-dwellers issued forth to their daily avocations. They were not a war-like race, but remained on the defensive. Whence they came is a matter of much obscurity. "Rpfpnfc investigation in Arizona bv Cush ? ?. 0 v ing seems to make it probable that they were descendants of that great and prosperous nation -which built large towns in the valleys of mighty rivers, which had a most highly developed civilization, and which was eventually scattered and partly destroyed, possibly by the effect of earthquakes, and subsequent ravages of nomadic Indians.?Harper's Weekly. Compliments of Many Countries. The Hindoo falls in the dust before his superior. The Chinaman dismounts when a gpeat man goes by. It is^ common in Arabia Petraie to put cheek to cheek. In Germany brothers kiss each other every time they meet. Germans consider it an act of politeness to kiss a lady's hand. A Japanese removes his sandals, crosses his hands and cries out: "Spare me." The Burmese pretend to smell of a person s face, pronounces it sweet and ?ol- ?, llcmnll ? aoxv iui a, 4iuv44. A striking salutation of the South Sea Islands is to fling a jar of water over the head of a friend. In some of the South Sea Islands natives spit on their hands and then rub the face of the complimented person. The Australian natives practice the singular custom, -when meeting, of sticking out their tongues at each other. The Arabs hug and kiss each other, making simultaneously a host of inquiries about each other's health and prospects. The Turk crosses his hands upon his breast and makes a profound obeisance, thus manifesting his regard without coming in personal contact with its object. A Moorish gentleman rides at his friends at a gallop, shoots his pistol, and fancies that he has done everything in the line of courtesy which can be expected of him. An Englishman, meeting his brother after twenty years of separation, will say: "How do you do, Jack?" will shake hands, and will be quite contented with an answering "How are you?" Labrador Home Life in Winter. H there be. anything like a social or home-life in Labrador, it exists exclusively in the long, frozen night of the winter. Then the entire inhabitants retire from the howling coast to winter quarters within the trifling shelter of spruce forests and protecting river crags, and from their burrows of sod, hut and ice, sally forth in their sledges or cometiques to "visit" each other in their storm-swept settlements for distances of hundreds of miles. These trips are made over the glistening snow at the rate of sixty to 100 miles per day, by the aid of their gaunt and ferocious dogs which are kept in submission by that cruelest and deadliest of all drivers' scourges, the Esquimaux whip. Its handle is not a foot long, but the lash is often forty feet in length, and the drivers are so skilled in its use that a piece can be struck out of a "leader," or "guide," dog's ear at a distance of from thirty to forty feet. These dogs, fully 150 of which I saw at Hopedale, are simply a species of partly domesticated wolves. They are fed on fish once each clay, in tne summer mey are sources of endfess terror about the coast settlements; but life would be impossible here without their Vise in winter. These visiting tours are marked by the most prodigal hospitality; and a good deal of rude pleasure,indeed all these far-away humans in any manner secure, is enjoyed. But Labradorian life is an endless round of inane, sodden fruitlessness at best. The summer is passed in a scourging effort for winters provision. Winter brings its struggles to prevent death by cold and hunger. These human animals seem born to exist, be robbed and to die. One turns from the slightest glimpse of land and people, heart-sick from irrevocability of the hopelessness of both. Labrador can never be lees than what Jaipies Cartier truly termed it in 153-1, "the land' given to Cain."?Times-Democrat. A Remedy for Insomnia. A writer in the St. Louis Globe-Demo' crat says: The abuse of the eye is the crime of the age. I am prepared to demonstrate that at least nine-tenths of the prevailing sleeplessness of which we hear so much is due to nervousness dircctly traceable to the optic nerve. "We are wearing our eyes out over books and desks and types, and the effect shows itself not only in the appearance of the organ itself but in its retroactive effect on nerve and brain. I have discovered a remedy for sleeplessness, and for the reason I have never known it to fail I am fortified in my opinion that the whole trouble arises from the overstrain of the eyes. Take a soft cloth?say a piece of napped towel?and fold in it two small picces af ice at a distance apart to exactly cover the eyes when the cloth is laid across them. Then lie down, adjust the cloth with the ice over the closed eyes and you will be asleep in a very short while. 1 - .. ' , ,''V - "y ' f jgj| ' HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. PEACH SHORTCAKE. One quart of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking powdw, have them heaping} two tablespoonfnls of butter, one pint rich milk; mix this into a smooth dough just soft enough to handle, divide ihto two equal parts, roll out to the 6ize of an ordinary pie plate and place on buttered tin and bake about twenty minutes; have two dozen peaches peeled and cut in slices, separate the cakes without cutting them, use half of the peaches to cover the bottom halves of the shortcake, sprinkle plentifully with sugar and cream, lay on the top piece, with the crust downward; use the rest of the fruit over them and sugar plentifully.?Nev V^T, TOW/? FOR POTATO SALAD. Nice for tea. Take six large cold, boiled potatoes, three hard-boiled eggs, a few leaves of lettuce or sprigs of parsley, and an onion, if you like (omit the onion if you object to it), chopped up together. Sprinkle celery seed over it and enough salt and pepper to season the salad well; then heat in a stew-pan a tablespoonful of good butter. When it begins to brown add three tablespoonfuls of vinegar and a teaspoonful of sugar. Pour this over the salad and mix thoroughly. Serve on a pretty dish, or heaped on a platter, garnished with alternate slices of hard-boiled egg and pickled beet, or with parsley. I think it quite essential to that desirable sensation we have when we sit. at a pretty, wellarranged and well-laden table, that the principal dishes be garnished in some way.?Farm and Fireside. v TWO RECIPES FOR CEMENT. A French scientific journal gives a recipe for a cement which is coming into use, and which is said to be harder and more enduring than any other known. It is made by mixing glycerine with litharge (oxide of lead). The preparation seems to be very simple; the finely pow dered litharge, after being dried at a high temperature, has glycerine added to it until the mixture is of the necessary consistency, that of thick mortar. Another receipe for a cement for a different purpose, namely for the attachment of paper labels to metal, has also been lately published. The metal is dipped into a strong solution of soda, and is afterward -washed over with the juice of an onion. Paper pasted to a surface so prepared, will, it is said, stick with such tenacity that it is almost impossible to release it without destruction. FISH CHOWDBR. Take two fine, fresh codfish, weighing six pounds each; clean them well; cut the fish lengthwise from the bone, and cut it into pieces two inches square. Chop up the bones and heads; put them into a saucepan; add three quarts of warm water, one red onion sliced, heaping teaspoonful of salt, a dozen bruised pepper-* A ? t ,.t Aalom TJ?51 I'Uma a Liu. a iCT> oiairwo ui uuu until the fish drops from the bones; then strain into another saucepan. Cut into small squares one peck of small potatoes and a pound and a half of salt pork; arrange the fish, pork and potatoes into mounds; divide each equally into four parts; add one quarter of the fish to the stock, next a quarter of the pork, then a quarter of the potato and three pilot crackers, broken into quarters, salt, pepper and a little thyme. Repeat this process until the remaining three-quarters of pork, fish and potato are used ^ cover all with warm milk 5 simmer slowly until the fish is tender, care being taken that the soup does not boil over; now taste for seasoning, serve as neatly as possible. This is the old-fashioned New England fish chowder.?New York Sun. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Baked meat is an abomination. Socalled "roast" meat cooked in ovens is a delusion and a snare. For a black eye: Paint it with a mixture of equal parts of tincture capsici and gum arabic and some glycerine. Applying kerosene with a rag when you are about to put your stoves away for the summer will help to prevent them from rusting. Spiced plums: One gallon plums, one pint of vinegar, one quart sugar, cinnamon and cloves whole. Boil several hours and seal. DelicioHs waffles: Half a pint of cold boiled farina, half a pint of rice flour, two tablespoonfuls of wheat flour, one pint of milk, one tablespoonful of butter, two eggs, well beaten. Butter can be kept in good condition in hot weather by placing over it a large ?? nrnnlr lUi^ia^CU caibucunaiu AU(V? bvvc. Wrap a wet cloth around the crock and set it in a draft of air. Salt sprinkled on any substance burning on the stove will stop the smoke and smell. Salt thrown upon coals blazing from the fat of broiling chops of ham will cause the blaze to subside. Lavender water: Put one pound of fresh lavender with one pint of water into a farina boiler, cover and steep slowly for one hour, take from the lire, add two quarts of alcohol, filter, and bottle for use. Lime and alkali stains may be removed from white goods by simply washing. In the case of colored goods and silks the goods should be moistened and citric acid, much diluted, applied with the finger. To frost a window tie a piece of putty I up in a piece of cheese cloth. Having cleaned the glass perfectly, rub the putty over it in smooth lines, let it dry and then varnish the glass. It wiU "stand" considerable steam. To clean porcelain saucepans, fill them half full of hot watef and put in the water a tablespoonful of powdered borax and let it boil. If this does not remove all the stains, scour well with a cloth rubbed with soap and borax. For hard boiled eggs, cook them twenty minutes in water just bubbling. The yelk of an egg cooked ten minutes in rapidly boiling water is tough and indigestible; cooked twenty minutes it is dry, mealy and easily digested. An Unwritten Law Among Bee Hunters. t There is a common law among them, for there used to be amcng the bee huntI ers of the North and West, that the man i who first finds a bee tree is entitled to (the honey.

He made a successful ascent of the high est peak of the Mount Owen Stanley range, named Mount Victoria, which attains an altitude of 13,121 feet. The climate was perfect, the weather at an altitude of about 8000 feet being clear and cold. On the summit daisies, buttercups, forget-me-nots, grasses and heaths were growing and larks were seen. Icicles and white frosts were met with. No natives were seen above an altitude fi?f four thousand feet. The country traversed by tlje party was very mountainous. No table land was discovered. The geological formation of the country is mainly decomposed slate and quartz. There was no sign of gold specimens. Natives were met on two occasions. They were extremely friendly, but superstitious. They -were stout, well built men, with short legs. "Women were never seen. Cultivation paddocks were fenced in and sweet potatoes, yams and sugar cane were plentiful. Tobacco was also grown. The natives had no warlike implements. Particular attention wiis paid to headdresses, which were mad'! of shells procured from the eastern coast of German New .Guinea, showing that there was friendly communication across the Owen Stanley range. Sir William McGregor collected many specimens of new plants, ;unong others some beautiful yellow rhododendrons, all of which have been forwarded to Baron Von Muelter for report, and a great number of new grasses, large patches of which were discovered on Mount Victoria. Mr. Goodwin, naturalist, secured specimens of several new birds. An animal was seen something like a native bear', but with a long tail. Its color was a d*sty brown black. In the extremities it had five claws and its tail was bushy. Its Estimated weight was sixty ponnds. The birds in the lower altitudes were the same as those before seen except the new paradise bird, similar to the great epinachiis. They procured a female Astrachia Stephania, the only bird of that species being in the museum at Berlin. Among the birds are some identical with the English lark. Unfortunately they were eat?m by one of the Polynesians. A few entomological specimens were obtained, among which were milk white butterflies. Many were seen, but only a few were captured. Spiders Are Animated Fly Traps. rtWhy on earth don't you clean up those cobwebs?" "Just because I want the spiders to increase and multiply and replenish the earth." The speaker was Mr. Tom Minor, whose place of business is on Decatur street, in front of a large wagonyard. "Come back here and I'll show you my spider pastures. You see those stalls there? There are thousands of spiders there, of all ages and sexes. These spiders beat all the fly paper, insect powders and everything else that was ever invented. House flies roost high around herg. Sometimes a new colony will come from across the street and settlo down to business, but they don't live long." "The spiders get them?" "You bet they do. They combine sometimes, and lay for a big house fly. They have to be very patient and cunning, but the first thing the house fly knows one of them nam him and then the rest of the squad gathe* around him,' and such a circus you never saw in your life." "Tin the snidera e?ver ret knocked out?" "Occasionally. The worst I ever saw them whipped was one afternoon last June, whon they tackled one of these big old zooming bumblebees. You ought to have seen those spiders. The bumblebee laid them out right and left, and tore up half the webs in the stalls."?Atlanta Constitution. How Bodies Are Cremated in Alaska. A lady resident of an Alaskan settlement who accompanied us to a cemetery saw a young Indian burned but a few days before and described to us the process and the scene. A sheet is first spread on the ground; on this' is placed a mat of bark which is -covered with gravel; then four logs are laid side by side; the body of the dead, wrapped in his blanket with only the face exposed to view, is placed thereon and other logs are laid along the sides and across the ends of the first, like the building of a "cob house." The whole is then saturated with oil and set on fire. During the process of cremation the clothes and blankets of the deceased are laid on the pile and consumed with the body, the men forming an inner circle and chanting a dirge, the women wailing in an outer circle. The ashes are then fathered up, placed in a box, which is deposited in the family t9mb with some of his personal belongings to' which ho was most attached. Peering into the one tomb we saw a small trunk which had belonged to the child whose ashes it contained, and two dolls daintily dressed were lying upon it and several other toys were suspended near it. On the outside of the chief's tomb was nailed and suspended a Chilcat blanket worth' $60 or $70, according to the price of a similar one which we had been watching a squaw make. About nine-tenths of these Indians burn their dead, a custom which it may be better to perpetuate and 1 imitate than to abolish.? Washington, Star. A Remarkable Organ. An organ whiqh would appear to be unprecedented in some of its parts and appointments has been erectcd in Libau, Russia. Its size is such as to .occupy the whole width of the chorch, about sixty feet, and it has the unqualified number of 131 registers, 8000 pipes and fourteen bellows of large size, and there are also * 1 --1 A lour Iliirp&lCUUlua UUU Ulic ycuait O.UV largest pipe is formed of planks three inches thick and thirty-one feet in length, and has a section of seven square inches, and weighs nearly 1600 pounds. In addition to the large number of registers there are also twenty-one accessory stops which permit of combining various parts of the instrument without having direct recourse to the registers; and by a special pneumatic combination the player can couple the four harpsichords thus obtaining surprising results. The remarkable character of this instrument may be judged of from the fact that the organ in the cathodral of Riga has 125 registers; that of the Garden City cathedral, 120; Albert Hall, London, 100; cathedral ol Ulm, 100; St. George's Hall, Liverpool, 100?

An oculist who has made the human eye a Study for thirty years, and who has examined many famous men's eyes, declared the other day that the "thoroughbred American" eye was steel blue in color. "Would you iay that blaok-eyed and brown-eyed men are deficient in intellect?" "Not that, to be sure, since history has afforded some examples of able men who9e eyes possessed this pigment. But, undeniably, among the people of higher civilization eyes grow lighter in hue, and there are to-day far more blue-eyed persons than there were a century ago. If you will be at pains to inquire the color of the eyes of Bismarck, Gladstone, Huxley, Virchow, Buchner, Benan, in fact of any of the living great, as -well as of the gfeat army of the dead who in life distinguished themselves, you will learn that most of them have, or had, eyes of blue or gray. It has seemed to me that the pigment is in the way; that it obscures the objects presented to the visual organ, and that the aspiring mind seeking the greatest light casts it off."? Philadelphia Press. A Blue Lobster. A genuine blue lobster of good size has been captured *t Marshfield, Mass. Nothing of the sort has been found before in those waters, although a case was reported some years ago from Long Island Sound. This lobster is of a pure ultramarine blue of handsome shade. Along the back the color of this singular crustacean is almost as dark as indigo, but at the sides it is as light as a robin's egg, and in the joints of the shell shades away to a delicate cream color. In an. ordinary lobster these parts would be shaded in dark and light greens. The claw of the blue lobster are slightly mottled in shades of blue and purple on top and a most delicate cream undeineath. The lobster car has been a cen u:r ox iQbcrcsb iui wc buiuuo ouw capture. It was caught in an ordinary pot, and it differs in no way except in color from other lobsters. It -will be boiled for the sake of seeing to . what color it will turn during the process.? New York Timet. > How a Breed of Sheep Originated. The well-known Ancon or otter breed of sheep, now extinct, arose in the last century in Massachusetts by the accidental birth of a ram with crookecl legs and a long back like a turnspit. These peculiarities rendered him unable to leap fences, and as this was a point of great importance to the early settlers this ram was selected for breeding, and his abnormalities of structure was faithfully transmitted. The breeds of Mauchamp sheep and Ifiata cattle had a somewhat similar origin.?Chamber8 Journal. Card of Thank*.

After mnch suffering 1 discarded all ether treatment, and began taking Swift's Specific, and the cancer coon began to heal, and in a short time it was completely healed and I wa* entirely well. It is nam over three years since I got well, and there haa bear no sign of any retnrn ct the disease. I know It war cancer, and I know it was cared alone by S. 8.8. ( E. V. Febbabd, Euston, La. S. S.
