The most beautiful planet, and the one licit comes nearest to the earth and most r> -mbles the earth in size, is at the same Min- the most mysterious. Is Venus a living, world or a dead one? That is to Hiy is it In a condition to support inhabi into, and Is it probable that such inhab--1 tuts are there, or, on the other hand, is it unsuited for their presence and barren of 1:. ,ig forms? These questions astronomers at present, are unable to answer, but their • tT'irls to answer them and the observations tb.it they have made of the mysterious 1 met possess an almost startling interest. First let us briefly recall what Venus is. It is a globe like our earth, and of very irly the same magnitude, having a diam- ■ -t of about 7.700 miles, while that of the • nth is a little more than 7,000 miles. Ho ; irly of the same size are the two planets i h it if we could view them from an equal instance we should be unable, without the aid of instruments of measurement, to det i t any difference between them. The substance of Venus is slightly lighter, bulk for Falk, than that which composes the earth, • ■ut the difference in this respect is so little that again it would require special examina- ’■ at to diminish by weight between a < uliic foot of the soil of Venus and an equal amount of the soil of the earth. It follows ' Fat on Venus the force of gravitation or tin. weight of bodies does not greatly differ Horn that on the earth. If we could step up in Venus we should find that we had 1 tided with a few pounds weight, but the difference would not be very noticeable, except perhaps on the race track. But this planet, so like the earth in many respects, is very different from our globe ia its situation. The earth's distance from the sun is 93,000.000 miles; the distance of ms from the sun is 67.000,000 miles. This < ft rence becomes a matter of great importance when we consider the effects which ’lie sun piroduces upon the two planets. H a and ,ight vary inversely as the square • the distance. When we compare the of the earth’s distance from the sun e square of Venus’s distance, we ! ul that the former is about double the • tier. This means that Venus, on the aver- ■ . gets twice us much heat and light from sun as the earth gets. Hut. on the other hand, we know that all ' ims of life depend for their existence : on the radiant energy of the sun. On the ■ n th, when we pass from the arctic regions f>w rds the equator, we find the number < f iiiii a f ms and the variety and intensity of th< nan.a* stations of life continually in- > ; using, until in the equatorial zone, earth, S' i and air are all crowded with animate a I'd growing things. The touch of the sun ■ • ryw here produces life, and in the abHii • of sunshine Is death. It is but natural ’■ infer that Venus, having twice as much ■“an shine as the earth, should be proportion!y more crowded with animal and vege- <■■■': •• inhabitants, and that the Intensity of • there should be correspondingly greater. Some geologists have thought that there w a time when the climate of the earth ” - so not that tropical plants and beasts lived abundantly around the poles. *' No Quarter t" // There is no sense in trifling n with disease.

TRAITS OF HfIWfIIIANS SATH ES ARE GEXTLE AND NOT ADDICTED TO REAL VICES. Their Home Life Described by an American Woman Who Spent Seven A ears in the Sandwich Inlands. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Mr3. Henry S. Findler, of this city, who spent seven years in Hawaii, and is known at Honolulu as Keonaonalaulanl, gives the following interesting account of life among the natives of the Sandwich islands: In all that recently has crept into print concerning Hawaii, it is odd, to one who has lived in that charming spot and among its lovable, childlike natives that so little of aught but political and economic topics have found place. The home life of the native Hawaiian, so distinctive from American ideas, the poetic language, the poetical and musical side of existence there—all which really constitutes a charm so potent that even in other climes and scenes it never really departs; all the little primitiveness and oddities—these, though sure to awaken interest, have been absolutely ignored. Tall, stalwart, of regular features, the mala is strikingly attractive, with his sunny smile, white teeth and ever-ready “Aloha” (Ah-low-ha.) This one word, signifying in its most comprehensive sense “love and peace to all mankind,” is the real countersign of the islands, typical at once of the spirit and letter of island life. Strangers meeting In mountain passes, in remote sugar plantations, everywhere save, perhaps, the streets of busy Honolulu, would be deemed discourteous did “Aloha” not at once rise to their lips. The women attain physical maturity at nine, beauty at twelve and easily show the signs of age at twenty-five. Marriage is a universal institution; the only trouble is ' hey take no reckoning of the marital vow. Yet the native is rather unmoral—that is, his moral sense is, as a rule, dormant. He does not sin because of sin, but rather because the leaves, the flowers, the stars, the waves do as they please—why not he? The vice and immorality oi which we hear so much has. properly, no piace with the native. This is found—to a terrible extent, it is true—among the half-whites or “haupahaoles,” they who combine in irresitable charm, beauty and sensuous languor the traits of two races. All gifted musicians, with rich, full voices; all adepts at the guitar or its smaller brethren, the taro-patch und ouchou-le-le; white skin as Circassians—these know neither law nor order, and with them can be held the high carnival so muen spoken of by travelers. The national dance, the hula-hula, is practically the “danz du ventre.” In its first stage, the “kiri,” it consists of a mere Delsartean movement of limbs and arms to the accompaniment of guitars and gourds (bursting with seeds), which are rattled in unison, and the following chant; “Auau hea noil oe Eku wai lioha, Etc.” Later it includes the abdominal features. The native’s love for water, for his own beautiful Pacific, is shown in his superb swimming, diving and seamanship; also in the fashion of naming favorite nooks in connection with wai (as he terms it, “wliy-e”). Thus we find Y.’aiklki, the famous swimming resort; Wnllalua (two waters), a famous fall; Wainai, Waimea. etc. In their rhythmic songs every other line is sure to contain the word. NO ACTUAL HOME LIFE. The home life of the Hawaiian is mere phraseology. There is none; a purely eommunial life has taken its place. This is most strikingly illustrated with the children. Nine times out of ten it is impossible to trace parentage. The habit of adoption here reaches unparalleled limits. The native care and love for children is beautiful to the extreme—but notice it is for children, not for a child. An English lady teaching in one of the schools once said to a certain refractory urchin: “Niiliau, go home and get your father wiki-wiki (quick). \'ou are too bad.” The youngster reached the door just as a man passed on horseback. “Him my father, volunteered the youth. Ten minutes later the same incident with another man was repeated. “Step-father,” thought the lady. On the way home from school with her usual bodyguard two other line bronze specimens were pointed out as Niihau’s “papa.” Thoroughly bewildered, Mrs. A. made inquiries, to discover the child had been adopted around in the four houses, though which grass hut first hailed his advent could not be ascertained. And this is typical. Talking of public schools, these are visited annually by government medical officials to examine for leprosy. This disease in Hawaii is wretchedly insidious in character. It can he in the system seven years before developing itself, and twice seven more ere it presents any aspect except sheer callousness of parts affected. So child afte> child is called up and a pin run in to its head under the finger nails. If the child winces it can take its place. If it stands impervious to any feeling it is a pronounced leper, and is at once relegated to Honolulu’s receiving station, thence to Molokai. Aside irom the “luans” (100-ow) or typical native feast—poi. salt fish, roasted pigs and chickens, baked sweet potaoes, salted kukin (coo-coo-e) nuts, shrimps, palatable seaweed, roasted bananas, fresh pomegranates, oranges, guavas, etc. —the native has no meal time. He sleeps and eats with utter disregard for day and night. In a philosophy which even the Stoics tried to emulate and failed he acts and reasons thus: “You hao’es (ha-oi-eis) say, ‘lt is S. 12. 6 o’clock, now you must eat. It. is 10 o’clock, now you must sleep.’ My stomach knows no clock. If I have much to eat I need no food. If I have nothing to eat need food even at 2 in the morning. Also 1 sleep when I feel like it.” At 4 o’clock in the afternoon you may walk into a native hut and find a whole family sound asleep. They are nothing if not improvident, and I tear nerve specialists would not be tolerated among them. “Why should I consider to-morrow? The sea lias fish, the mountains have fruit and the ground the taro root for poi. What else need I? Why worry?” But not being always in the mood to go to the “wai” or the “maunas”* (mountains), if Koloa’s own larder be empty he goes to his neighbor Pahan’s, and with little care if Pahan lie at home or abroad disposes of its contents. Pahan, on returning, recks but little. He in turn goes to his neighbor’s, and he to his, and so on. When the whole native settlement has been depleted (which is the only time one can secure a native’s services) the men all set to work for three days or a week at most. TIIEIR LANGUAGE MUSICAL. Their language is wonderfully soft and musical. Five vowels and seven consonants comprise the whole. They have no poetry proper—their phraseology being so poetical and of such romantic allusions no lack can be felt. They are all born musicians. The Royal Hawaiian Band, trained and organized by Herr Beiger (who left the Berlin court for reasons best known to himseif and the government), is considered of such superior excellence that state fairs in California, Oregon, Washington and even Mexico send for and handsomely’ remunerate it. Three years' novitiate is demanded, and several rigorous examinations ere admittance to the band can be obtained. On the wharf, to welcome and bid Godspeed to all Americans here, in the corridors of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, at receptions and loans or in the little squares that adorn Honolulu proper, it has become a familiar featuie to all. It renders magnificent renditions of Haydn, Liszt and Beethoven, with the soft, appealing native melodies. In the choruses of the latter instruments ate often discarded and the rich baritone and pure tenor of the members of the bar.d lakes their places. In the country distiicts. on the sugar plantations, on Christmas and New Year’s eves, one is awakened by preparatory tuning of guitars and unkuieles. On getting up, there on the lawn, between the roses, oleanders, palms and scarlet hibiscus blossoms, with the scent of the tuberose and the jasmine, and the exquisite tropical moonlight over ail, grouped in various natural yet wondrously graceful positions, eight or ten natives will be seen, and a serenade of bewitching beauty will fall to your lot. One of the prettiest customs of the islands is the stringing of flowers, shells and brightly colored leaves into what is known as a lei (luy-e), resembling the daisy chains of our childhood’s days. One of peacock feathers around the snow-white pupate or sailor hat—six or seven of red seeds, brightly colored shells and flowers, one or two of the fragrant green wralte leaf, one with braided ferns studded with roses—all these at once may serve a* adornment for the spotless white hoiuliu (wrapper—the national dress), and the whole presents average aspect of the Hawaiian girl as sh stroll* to

Milwaukee Letter. Wisconsin has one industry of which little is heard, yet which has been the means of turning a good deal of money into the pockets of the inhabitants of the southern part of the State. At one time, about six years ago, the pearl fisheries of this State were widely exploited then something else caught the popu'ar fancy, and this seven days’ wonder was dropped. \ r et these same fisheries have within the past seven years panned out between 1250,000 and 1300,000 worth of pearls, some of which were sold for a great price and are now’ held in high esteem by their owners. For a year or two it was hard work to pet hands to harvest the crops; in fact, the farmers in the southern tier of counties did not care much whether they had crops or not when easier means of wealth lay right at their doors. During the entire summer season as long as the beds of the little creeks and rivers of that section could be dredged or raked, people were out “pearling,” as it came to be called in the vernacular of the district where the pearls were found in their lodging places in the mouth of the fresh-w’ater clams. Going “pearling” had all the excitement of shaking dice for high stakes, with the exception that the player could lose nothing beyond his time and stood to wdn a big stake by one fortunate stroke. He might work for w’eeks and not turn up a pearlbearing clam, and then the rake would bring to the surface a shell in which was a pearl worth from SSOO to SI,OOO, more money than could be earned by a whole season's work on the farm. The first boom in the industry came through the jewelry firm of Bunde & Upmeyer, of this city. It was this firm that first recognized the worth of the products of the southwestern creeks. The first they knew of the mines of wealth which lay so near was one day when a farmer came into the store with a small pearl which he unearthed from various rolls of wrapping paper, and, with a dash of secrecy, tsked them what they would give him for the exhibit. The owner was not entirely at sea on the subject of value, as he had previously sent it to an Eastern house. Both Mr. Bunde and Mr. Upmeyer examined the pearl and saw at once that it was va'.uuble. They offered the fainter S7O for it, and this sum was accepted. Then they questioned him as to where it w’as found, and when they learned that it had come from a little river in Lafayette county it did not take them .eng to make up their minds that where there was one there were likely to be others, also that there was a profitable business investment in getting hold of as many as possible immediately. It took some courage to jump into an unknown field without consultation or verification 07 judgment, but both Bunde and Upmeyer were willing to back their opinion with cash, and the next day saw Mr. Upmeyer on his way to the pearl-bearing section. with a pocketbook well filled with money. Arriving there, he took a wagon and with a guide drove through the parts where reports hud come of finds of pearls. In a short time the news spread that a Milwaukee man was ready to pay good prices for pearls, and then the rush for the streams began. Before Mr. Upmeyer had returned he invested $30,0X) in pearls and had become the friend of nine-tenths of the inhabitants of the section. This was shown later when the news of the fisheries spread and buyers came from the East and as far as Paris to invest. Upmeyer had the call over them all, for the people trusted him and felt they could get a fair value for their finds. The result was that the most of tiie Wisconsin product —all, in fact, of value—was handled by the Milwaukeeaps, and to-day they are recognized in the jewelry world as experts in fresh-water pearls, and stones are sent to them from all over the country fur app.aisement. But all this did not come at once. After making the first purchases Mr. Upmeyer took some of the most valuable and went to New York. His exhibit astonished the eastern jewelers, who confirmed the original judgment of the young Milwaukeeans and offered good prices for the pearls on hand. Incidentally it worked confusion to other experts, who had held that the pearls were not worth the picking up. Os the pearls found in Wisconsin streams one was sold later for SS,(M), many others brought sl,€oo, and SSOO stones were not at all scarce. When asked what became of the $5,000 stone Mr. Upmeyer said, in recalling the events ot those days, that he did not know’. It had gone East. Many of the pearls were sent abroad, where there is more of a demand for this class of stones than in this country. Mr. Upmeyer gives an interesting account of his first experience in the pearl districts. “As soon as w’e made up our minds that it was worth looking after,” said he, “I started with a good supply of money for Lafayette county. I traveled up and dowm through the county until I had gathered up everything that was purchasable. Then everybody went pearling—women and children as well as the men. On Sundays it was the common practice for the women to spend their time along the streams looking for clams which might bear a fortune. “It was not all clover, by any means. Often a person would work for w’eeks without making any find of Importance, and then, perhaps, the next rakeful would bring to light a good stone. Just to illustrate, 1 will give yoxx an experience of my own w’hen I found the first and only pearl that it was my luck to discover. One day 1 engaged tw r o men, paying them $2 a day, and they began raking the river for clams. They had a kind of dugout into which they would pitch the clams and push them ashore, where the man w’ho was with me and 1 would open them. “I w’orked there in the hot sun all day and opened clams until my hands w’ere raw’, but not a pearl did we find in the whole lot. Then I said to the men: ‘You do not know how’ to find the pearls. Give me the rake.' I went into the stream as far as I could, then cast the rake and drew’ it in. All that was brought up were a half-dozen small clams, so small that the men laughed st me. In one of the clams w’hs a small pearl, worth about $lO. I was disgusted by that time, and went to tb‘‘ station, about half a mile away. “I told the men that if they found anything before I left they could bring it to the station and I would buy it. Sure enough, just before the train arrived they came with a pearl, for which I gave them S7O. That will illustrate the luck which attached to the hunt. “It is true that there have been over $250,000 worth of pearls taken from the streams dow’n there in the past seven years, but there are few found now. During the excitement the streams were worked clean and there are few clams left. All of the finds were made in southern Wisconsin and just over the border in Illinois. “The talk of opening clams with pincers to see if they have a pearl inside, and if not throwing them back without injury, is all bosh. There is not a pair of pincers made strong enough to open a live clam without breaking the shell all to pieces. There is just one way. In one spot there is an opening into which you can stick a knife blade. Then you can cut the muscle, and the clam opens ike a pocketbook, but the clam is of no further use.” Conscientious Woman. Washington Post. A most striking example of rigid adherence to principle has just been brought to my knowledge. It concerns a gentlewoman of Southern birth, who came to Washington several years ago. For a long time she made her home with a kinswoman, who was a teacher, but recently she made up her mind to do something for herself. She succeeded in securing a position in one of the departTreasury, I think it was—and her work had something to do with revenue stamps. To her horror, she discovered, alter some little time had elapsed, that the stamps she worked with were used on packages of intoxicating liquors. She is for the temperance cause, heart and soul, and she could not endure the Idea of assisting in the liquor traffic in any way whatsoever. There was only one thing for her to do/nnd she did it. She simply sent in her resignation, and left the department

TRYING TO SEE THE CZAR * HIS POTENT AID SOUGHT BY ALL SORTS AND CONDITIONS OF PEOPLE. Russia’s General Manager Hard to Get at, but Gracious and Kindly Once His Presence Is Reached. Josiah Flynt, in New York Commercial Advertiser. One of the most interesting characters in Russia is the man who is trying to have an audience with the Czar. Nearly every day somebody turns up in St. Petersburg with a pet scheme or reform which he wants to bring to “his Majesty’s notice,” and he often hangs about the city an entire winter, waiting, generally hopelessly, for a presentation. Some have plans to lay before him about Siberia and the freeing of the prisoners there; others seek mercy for supposedly persecuted sects in the south; and still others desire that he take an interest in this and that railway project. One wandered from New Zealand was anxious to confer with him about making Russia a republic. Probably not ten out of every thousand who make an effort to see him succeed, but these few take up more of his time than a president of one of our great railroads would be willing to sacrifice to such visitors. There is a long road to travel before one cun pass the door of his “office” in the Winter Palace. It is said that the most difficult man in Europe to meet is the Emperor of Austria, but I doubt very much whether he is surrounded with any more protection and “straw men” than the Czar is. To get at him one must first of all find someone who will introduce the would-be caller to the minister of the court. The poor peasants who also come to St. Petersburg with tales of woe to teii to the “little father” have to give up all hope of getting to this official, and generally go direct to the Vv inter Palace and declare bluntly to the guard on duty at the gates, “We want to see our Czar. ’ they are usually toal to “get out” and b© “quick about it, ’ but some of them are very persistent and keep on knocking at the gates day after day until perchance his Majesty goes out tor a urive or walk, and then they touch their foreheads to the ground and whine, “Oh, little lather, listen to our troubles.” Perhaps he listens and perhaps he doesn’t, but they tramp back to their villages greater men in their own estimation as w’ell as in that of their fellow-vifiagers merely trom having accosted him. Persons who weie not peasants have also tried this hanging around the palace gates to get an audience, but the more usual method, even among cranks, is to be regularly presented through the minister of the court. It is comparatively easy to nave an interview with this functionary if one can get a letter to him. and a large percentage of the candidates for a presentation know how to arrange this. The consultation with him is always pleasant and polite, but generally brief. “Bo you desire to see his Majesty, do you?” he will ask. “What is the nature of the maiter you wish to bring to his Majesty’s notice? About your confiscated property in the Caucasus, you say? There is a commission, as, perhaps, you ate aware, that looks into such matters, and i would advise you to apply to it.” He then bows very graciously, frequently shakes hands, helping the caller toward the door with a suggestive pressure of his hand in that direction and then his secretary calls **ll6Xt ** ’ ETIQUETTE OF THE CALL. Occasionally the caller is of such Importance that he cannot be refused an audience, and then the minister must prepare for it. There is a rapid drive to the Winter Palace or wherever else it is that the Czar may be, a hasty final consultation in an anteroom about the etiquet to be observed, and then the ambitious one walks into a not very gorgeous apartment and the Czar greets him. He rattles off his memorized petition, or whatever it is that he has to say, the Czar very possibly toying with a paper cutter or a pen during the speech, and when it is finished the Czar expresses Interest in his remarks, in some cases honors the caller with thanks for having his attention brought to the matter in hand, and then there is a bowing and knocking of heels together, and the Czar’s secretary also calls “next.” Nicholas II is reported to be a very agreeable monarch to meet, and he interests himself in a great many more things than he is given credit for. He does not make as much about his interests as William of Germany, but he has them just the same, and, perhaps, one of the greatest difficulties involved in getting an audience with him is that his enterprises are not always popular w ith the camarilla around him. An interesting character from our far West turned up one day in St. Petersburg with lots of money and a fad about interesting young Russians in a religious organization to which he gave most of his time and income. It ’s difficult to introduce church novelties into Russia, and this w T as made very clear to the Westerner, but he was as good a business man as he was a religionist, and on learning that the Czar was the only one who could help him, he asked; “What will it cost?” This question had never been put to the functionaries so bluntly before, and they were at a loss to know how to reply. The Westerner, however, came to their assistance. “Ain’t you got any hospital he’s interested in that I can give something to?” It was eventually decided that it w’ould be a very gracious act for the stranger to add to the endowment fund of a certain spital, and in due time he was notified that an audience had been arranged. He had met only a President before coming to St. Petersburg, and the possibility of meeting an Emperor went to his head. In the shops in the Neffsky where he made certain purchases necessary for the audience, he notified the salesmen immediately why he needed the things. “Ha-ha-ha! I’m going to see your King!” he said to each one, not a word of which they understood. He managed to gather himself together by the time the presentation was to take place, and he not only had a very charming conversation with his Majesty, but thoroughly interested him in his w’ork. * TWO QUAKERS CALLED. Another story is told in St. Petersburg about two Quakers. One day they arrived in the city for the purpose of interesting the Czar “in the welfare of his ow’n sou! as well as in those of his subjects.” At last, so the story runs, after they had tried in their simple way all the ordinary approaches to his presence, they called one afternoon at the house of the procurator of the holy synod. This gentleman was about to go out for a drive when they rang his bell, and he opened the door himself. “And who are you?” he asked of one of the tw’O strangers. “We have been moved In' come to you by the Spirit of God.” they replied. “Is that so?” he answered. “Well. I cannot close my door to the Spirit of God; come in.” They remained closeted with him for nearly tw’O hours, telling him how they had been impelled to go to Russia, and what it was that they w’ere anxious to bring to the Czar’s notice. The call to make the journey had come to them simultaneously, it seems, but while one was in Africa and the othei in India. Thev met each other for the first time in Germany, and traveled together from there to Russia. The procurator was so struck with their simple faith that he took them to the Czar, who was equally impressed with their peaceful errand. Asa result of the interview they were allowed to do missionary work among the proscribed sects of southern Russia, a privilege never before officially granted to any one outside of Greek Church. Perhaps the most pathetic petition for an audience with the Czar is that of the poor woman who seeks mercy for some relative in Siberia or for funds to take care of her familv. If St. Petersburg has one of these forlorn women it has hundreds, and as long as there is the least hope they keep knocking at the door. I knew a girl in St. Petersburg who was turning every stone she could to persuade the Czar to pay her debts so that she could marry “with a clear conscience,” and I believe he finally did pay them ’ ARMENIAN VISITORS. The Armenian troubles brought an army of audience seekers to Russia. Missionaries, politicians, reformers, mesmerists, refugees, metropolitans, priests and a thousand and one other petitioners flocked to the capital from all over the “near esta.” and not a few knew how to secure an interview. The present “Chinese problem” is without doubt causing numerous similar pilgrimages. From what I know of former cranks who have tried to get to the Czar, I should not be at all surprised if at this moment there is some fool in St. Petersburg trying to have an audience w.th him concerning the prao-

ticability of his Majesty immediately declaring himself Emperor of China. I actually met one man there who was planning to get the Prince of Wales and the Czar to come to an understanding about China. It is often said that Nicholas II rather enjoys meeting w'eird characters of this type, that they refresh him after the tiresome stereotyped audiences with state officials. I should think that they might, but it would be still more interesting to know' what he thinks of the dependence upon him which so many of his aristocrats show when they get down on their luck. Let a Russian prince—and there are thousands of them—get into trouble, financial or otherwise, and. if he can possibly manage it, he will run to the Czar rather than try to pull himself out of his difficulties unaided. The same unwillingness to fail hack on one’s own ingenuity is noticeable In nearly all classes of society in Russia, except. perhaps, among the merchants. Everybody has some superior to appeal to, and, as a last resort, there is the “little father.” There are Russians who claim that the time is coming when this “little father” is to be the final court of appeal of all Asia and of the greater part of Europe. THE VICEROY'S WELCOME. Graphic Picture of .Mr. Cnrron's Reception in Bombay. G. W. Steevens, in London Mail. The thud of three guns, dull In the lazy air, told India that her fifteenth viceroy was at her door. She awoke and hastened to do him due honor. From the Arabia the sights of the shore were muffled, like Its sands, in the breathless haze that expects the sun. We lay on still, colorless water in a channel. To port were shadows of ships and presently, behind them, a thicker bank of gray with the white faces of ghostly buildings shone without lustre. But to the starboard the mainland o? India raised itself on its elbow against a horizon that every minute grew rosier. Broad belts of black and pink fired and melted into liquid carmine; the elbows turned from grav to black, and the water began to stir and laugh over a mile of shining dimples. India was awake. A glance back from the launch showed the Arabia at the very moment of awakening. Along the dark hull three tiers of sleepy yellow portholes blinked at the shadowed water; above, every point, and spar, and rope were picked out in the intensest black against the crimson sky. The flags, with which she was dressed from prow to masthead and on to masthead again, and from masthead to rail, being solemnly motionless. Hugely graceful, the union of power and fineness, revealing unsuspected curves and angles, she had kept the fullness of her beauties coquettishly, until the moment of good-bye. The other ships, as we stolo past them, turned in like manner from film to the clearest silhouette; each was decked with flags sumptuously. On nearing the shore the dim shapes of buildings cleared, separated and combined into a tall, white-limbed city, warming and blushing like a bride. Tne launch stopped at a pier beneath a white and amber pavilion. Then suddenly the sun shot up behind the mainland, -welcoming reflections sprang everywhere to meet aim, tne world pu.sed with color. And I was standing in India. The pavilion was spread partly on Venetian masts, partly on living trees, but their trunks were wrapped around with white and amber also, lest anything dirty should smirch the new viceroy’s gaze. Down the middle ran a broad aisle. On each side of it a battalion of chairs; at the top, above the water, was a clear space for the most notable people, and a triumphal arch in the shape of a tower. A hedge of shrubs around the whole lent it the air of a flower show. Outside these, again, was a hedge of native police—little, sturdy, brown men in navy blue, with bare legs, and sandals and bright yellow caps. At the entrance, on the island side, were British military police in white regulating the traffic. I looked down the broad avenue that led into Bombay—a vista of white, shining palaces set in green, tier and gable and turret climbing skywards out of massed trees. But before there was time to do more than look, a company or two of British infantry inarch up, cool to the eye in their white uniforms, stiffened into line and grounded arms with a rattle along one side of the pavilion. Directly on that arrived the rulers of Bomba y. 'they made a strange blending of splendor and shabbiness. Clear-skinned men and bright-eyed women drove up in victorias that show'ed more dust than paint; a servant in gorgeous livery was on the box, and the stuffing W'as coming out of the horse’s collar. The white men and women wmre w'hite, as befitted the freshness of the golden morning; even generals and colonels snowed no other color than the ribbons of many campaigns on their breasts. The dark and gold and na\al uniforms and court dress, the epaulets of the very consuls looked dull in the shimmer of the sun. But the rich natives paid for all. They shone in the gathering crowd like rainbows. There w r ere women in purple and yellow-green draperies. servants in flaming scarlet, masters ablaze with bullion and Jewels. Nothing was too resplendent for their modesty or too incongruous for their taste. A black gown like a clergyman’s, a spectacled face under a black oilcloth cap—its shape like two hats, one balanced upside down on top of the other—only threw up the neighboring butterfly in a peaked turban of vermilion and gold, a ring in his ear with a bloated bunch of pearls and emeralds, strings of pearls round his neck and a goldembroidered muslin blouse which died away —alas!—below the waist into shrunken pyjamas, no socks, and broken elastic-sided boots, with frayed tabs flapping moodily behind him. Beside this vision of radiance you could hardly see the gentleman in a frock coat and a deerstalker, and the eaglenosed yellow youth in reach-me-down blue striped flannels w'as barely saved from extinction by the green and crimson embroidery on his purple velvet smoking cap. Every race, every creed, every color, every style—the rajah with his diamonds and the thinlegged sweeper outside in the street—they grouped themselves to present to the new' viceroy a living epitome of the hundredheaded problem that awaits him. Boom! came the first gun from the white war ship, the first of thirty-one. A launch flickered across the dazzling water; he was coming. Along the parapet glided a funnel and the point of a flagstaff. The uniforms and court suits and academic gowns clustered at the head of the steps. They stood for a minute, two, three, in the bunched but shifting group that means greeting and Introduction, then broke. “God Save the Queen” crashed the band; all stood uncovered; and the new viceroy stepped serenely into his government. You need to stand close to Lord Curzon of Kedleston before you realize that he is a big man. Neither height nor depth nor breadth stnke you at once, yet all are somewhat ovei the average. What you see first ir. his face is the fresh complexion; he is as rosy and smooth and bright as a country stable lad just from under the pump. Short close wh'skers and a clean-shaven mouth and chin assist that profane comparison, but at tnp second glance the forehead and brow arrest you. and pronounce him a man of mind. Most people dislike a man who looks cleverer than themselves, bat the new viceroy’s ruddy cheeks disarm jealousy. He moves, as he speaks, deliberately, but w'ithout hesitation. giving the air of a man invincibly seifpossessed. yet conscious of some shyness, cautious and calculating, yet resolute to decide, on a clear course and to steer it. He walked along the aisle, bowing to one and shaking hands with another, smiling, but mindful of his supreme dignity. Having passed to the center, he paused, for the municipality of Bombay had an address ready for him; eyes released fell for a moment on the vice-reine, very calm, also, very tall and very stately, queenly in face and figure, and also queenly in graciousness. The procession closed up, and an interval of dead silence hinted that Mr. Bhalchandra Krishna was delivering his address. But when it was over and the viceroy began to reply, even behind him to the far end of the marquee you could hear almost every word. The speeech is published by now; its most remarkable feature is its prudent restraint. Nobody expected a viceroy to commit himself within half an hour after his landing, and curiosity centered on his manner. The voice was penetrating w'ithout being powerful, as of a man who has had to embellish the raw material of oratory by s.udy and practice; the periods were rounded with a touch of the declamatory, as was due to the formality of the occasion. Clapping of hands: it w’as over and the procession was moving again. All natives present stood on chairs. There was a glimpse of a gray, tall hat bowing from a carriage, the scrunch of wheels, white and red lancepennons wheeling into column behind them. Bombay was satisfied that the new governor general is not likely to speak or bear himself otherwise than as a born viceroy. How to Treat a Mother.

HYPNOTIC EXPERIMENTS CI RIOVS MANIFESTATIONS OF SI BLIMINAU CONSCIOUSNESS. s Three Personalities Observed In One Woman by Dr. Prince, of Boston —ln Support of Charcot. New’ York Sun. Following out the experiments in the study of sublime consciousness made famous by Dr. Charcot of tie Saipetiere School in Paris, Dr. Morton Prince, of Bos- | ton, has made the past year a series of curious experiments in hypnosis with results of considerable scientific value. These studies he embodied in a paper entitled. “An Experimental Study of Visions,” which was read before the New York section of the Society of Psychical Research at Columbia University Library last night. Dr. Prince himself w r as absent. Dr. Prince made a series of experiments upon a patient whom he called Miss X. Miss X is a young w oman of high nervous sensitiveness and has been under treatment for hysterico-neurasthenic ailments. Like many persons of similar temperament she is highly susceptible to hypnotic influences and under hypnosis develops two personalities distinct from each other and from her normal self. Moreover, she has the sernihypnotic faculty of projecting visions from her mind into a crystal ball. "Crystal gazing,” which has been made the basis of so much spurious spiritualism, is in reality a form of self-hypnotization. So readily susceptible was Miss X to this form of control that she beheld visions while still possessed of her normal self and able to describe clearly her sensations, though in a state of absorption, where frequent promptings and questionings, such as “What do you see?” “Go on,” and “What next?” were necessary to keep her steady in her explanations of what she saw. The notable feature of these experiments, however, is that in almost all cases the visions were substantiated and explained by the subconsciousness. For the purpose of clearness Dr. Prince considers his hypnotic subject as three distinct persons. 1. The normal Miss X, a young woman of pleasant and kindiy disposition, dign.lied and courteous. Miss X is still Miss X when under the influence of the crystal visions, though there is doubtless a slight degree of hypnosis. (Charcot used what he termed the first degree of hypnosis to induce the visions which Dr. Prince induces by the crystal ball.) 2. A secondary self of Miss X Induced by hypnosis and called X 2, self-conscious and conscious also of the existence of Miss X. Tins seif is languid and inert, a very different character— from the normal Miss X. It. proved of little value in the experiments. 3. A tertiary self, induced by a deeper condition of hypnosis, and called X3. X 3 is vivacious, daring and quick-witted, and exhibits a malicious delight in mishaps which befall Miss X. fc>he Is entirely seifconscious and vividly conscious of the existence and doings of Miss X, who, she declares, is an entirely dmerent person from herself (X 3). She refers always to Miss X as “she.’’ X 2 she refers to as “Miss X asleep. X 3, and not X 2, is always the explainer of Miss X’s visions, X 2 being able to reipember only parts of each. SHE SAW HERSELF. Dr. Prince cites at length a score of experiments establishing perfectly the identity of the three characters in one personality, a few' of which are here given. Looking in the crystal ball one day Miss X described a vision of herself standing in a field overlooking the sea. “A young man comes across lots from the street,” she said. “He looks angry. He has just left Miss Yin the street. He looks almost insane.” (Here she exhibited signs of alarm. Pressed to go on, she continued.) “He takes out letters and tears them up. Now he has his watch in his hand and crushes that. He is like a man out of his mind.’’ On withdrawing her gaze from the globe. Miss X remembered having seen the young | man some years before at the place indiI cated. He had left a friend of hers, Miss Y, and walked across the fields. When he came near he spoke to her, but she could not remember that he looked insane and she was positive that she had not seen him tear up the letters or crush his watch. By hypnosis she was then brought to the personality of X 2. X 2 remembered that the young man looked very fierce, and thought that he had i crushed his watch. X 3, the state of hypnoj sis being deepened, remembered the whole matter at once. “He came out there looking very fierce. He did tear up the letters and crush his w'atch, but she (Miss X) didn't see him do it. Her back was turned. When she turned around again he stopped tearing up the letters, and, as soon as she turned back, finished up and then held his watch in his hand and crushed it. But she didn’t see him.” There was no way to verify this story, hut Dr. Prince, because of the sound basis for many other visions, takes it to be true. It is suggested that the act of tearing the letters w’as not seen by direct vision, but by peripheral vision, and was not recorded on the conscious brain, but on the subconscious brain in which the subliminal selves exist. Similarly the noise of the crushing of the watch was heard but not recorded in conscious memory. On the other hand, these supposed actions may have been merely inferential on the part of X 3, the inference being drawn from the “insane” appearance of the young man, not noted by the normal Miss X. Another experiment, and one which proved the accuracy of the vision, was made shortly after Miss X was hypnotized and became X 3, and X 3 in a particularly malicious mood, for she laughed heartily over a mishap of Miss X, w r ho, she said, had torn up some bank notes in the street and thrown them away. In a fit of absent-mind-edness she had mistaken the bank notes, X 3 said, for a note from a photographer relative to some pictures, and a better joke, she added, hadn’t come to her notice for a long time. The hypnotic spell was removed, and Dr. Prince asked Miss X: “Have you received a note from a photographer lately?” “Yes,” was the reply. “I got one a few days ago.” “Where is it?” “I tore it up yesterday.’* “Are you sure you tore it up?” “Yes: I’m very sure.” “Look in your pocket." TORE UP THE MONEY. A search resulted in her finding the note in her purse; also that two $lO bills were missing. She was much chagrined at the loss of the money. Dr. Prince suggested that she set her mind on the money and try the crystal. In a few minutes she described herself as walking down Washington street and taking the note and bills from her pocket. They w-ere folded up much alike. To her great distress she saw herself put the note back in her pocket and tear up the bills. There is, of course, an element of hypnotic suggestion in this case of crystal vision, but the sequel Is free of lhat taint. Shortly after X 3 said that "she” (Mias X) had been worried very much about the fate of the money, particularly as she had, on a former occasion, thrown some bank bills in the fire while in a brown study. Under the spell of this worriment, continued X 3, she had risen in her sleep, got the rest of her money from her purse and hidden it “under that fluffy thing.” It was with difficulty that X 3 could be constrained to tell where “she” had hidden it. Meantime Miss X had been complaining that she had lost her money. Referring to the crystal globe, she saw herself get up from bed wdth closed eyes, get her money and hide it under a sort of cover on the window seat in her room. The money was found there. X 3, as usual, was much amused by Miss Xs troubles over the lost money. Another source of amusement to the somewhat Bohemian X 3 was a scrape into which she got Miss X. It was revealed by one of the crystal globe visions. Miss X was sitting on a sofa in tne medical institution when she looked into the globe. “Why, I see myself,” she said, “and I’m sitting right on this same sofa. Why—what —oh!” she broke off and gasped. "Well, what’s the matter?” asked Dr. Pierce. “Why—oh dear! It can’t be me. But it is. I never did such a thing in my life.” “Go on,” said the doctor. “Tell me about it. "Why, I’m smoking a cigarette!” The doctor took away the globe and asked Miss X If she couldn’t remember smoking a cigarette there. Much scandalized. Miss X denied It in toto. Never smoked a cigarette in her life, she said. She really felt very badly about it Enter, via the hypnotic trance, X 3. almost tickled to death. ”1 knew it would shock her (Miss X) almost to death, she’s so prudish,” said that

CATARRH OF STOMACH. A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effectual Cure for It. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometime* with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; headaches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of th* stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure of this common and obstinate trouble is found In a treatment which cause* the food to be readiiy, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured flie catarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diatase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart’* Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used .vith perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, 111., writes: “Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane os the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thu* producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three year* for catarrh of stomach without cure, but today I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appropriate words to expres* my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.” Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.

Didn't she make a fuss!” Several days before in that same place Dr. Prince had given X 3 a cigarette to see what she would do with it. She smoked it, but very clumsily. An embarrassing situation into which Mis* X get herself (her No. 1 self) without the connivance of the selfish X 3 was a case of absent-mindedness. In the globe she saw Prof. Z (one of the professors in the institution) w’alking nervously up and down in one of the rooms of the place. He sat down in a chair and put one foot over his knee. Then he hastily removed that and frowned. He went to a desk and began to write, but soon became very uneasy and ran his hands through his hair. Then, with a very angry expression, he ruihed out of the room. This performance Miss X couldn’t explain at all. She remembered having seen Prof. Z in the room, and, as far as she could recollect, she hud been sitting there alone thinking. She did not remember, however, that he was nervous or did any of the things that she had seen him do in the globe. But X 3 remembered all about it and explained it with glee. UNCONSCIOUS IMITATION. "She” (Miss X) was sitting there when Professor Z came in. She fell into a brown study looking at him, and w’herever he went she followed him with her eyes. It marie him so nervous! Pretty soon he sat down and crossed his leg over his kne. She crossed her leg over her knee. lie began to write at the desk. She went through the motions of writing. Every time he dipped his pen slie reached forward and made the same motions. He jumped up and ran his fingers through his hair, and she did the same thing. Then he ran away.” This account of unconscious imitation was afterward verified by Professor Z, who added that it had driven him to the verge of nervous insanity. At another time Miss X saw’ In the globe a girl in a nightgown in a room w’ith a large window. The girl she presently recognized as herself. She took an inkstand from the table, crawled out of the window upon the ledge, and threw the Inkstand into the street. She became very dizzy. While describing this Miss X was obliged to stop twice and remove her gaze from the globe because of overpowering dizziness. Continuing, she saw herself return and get into bed. Then a girl, Miss L, came in and put a plaster on her chest. Try as she would to remember such an incident Miss X could recollect nothing but the room and Miss L. The room was in a house on Columbus avenue, Boston, where she had been staying. It remained for X 3, as usual, to furnish the explanation. “That was wdien ‘she’ (Miss X) w r as ill.” said stie. “She was delirious, and thought she was on the seashore and she climbed out on the cliff. The inkstand she thought was a stone which she was going to throw into the sea. She spilled some Ink into her shoes, too.” Ink stains were found in her shoes. Miss L., who had cared for Miss X., corroborated the account of the delirium and said that the patient imagined herself on the seashore. The particular interest of this ease to medical men lies in the fact that it show* delirium to extend only to the normal self; that under the raving and hallucinations of the delirious personality is a deeper personality, lacking controlling power, but calmly and correctly cognizant in all its senses. Dr. Prince then cited some visions which could not be established as being correct. A recurrent one showed an old woman walking up a steep and stony street, flanked by curious-looking houses, not like any houses in this country. A horseman coming along rode the old woman down. Here Miss X. turned her face from the globe. Several times she has tried to get some clew to this vision, hut is unable to. She is certain that she has never been in such a street as the one seen, and almost certain that It is a foreign street. Miss X. has never been abroad. Neither X 2 nor X 3 knew of any such occurrence. As it is certain that a young woman witnessing such an accident would not forget it, Dr. Prince regards this as a case where an occurrence read in a hook or heard of and then lost from memory is bodied forth in the crystal globe from the subconscious part of the brain. Dr. Prince suggests that such historic visions as those of Joan of Arc and Savonarola were of this order. Cases of lunacy, he said, might be found to be a permanent substitution of the subnormal consciousness with their hallucinations of the past for the normal self. 100 Risky.
