PRE-EXISTENCE.

THE EXISTENCE CENTURIES AGO IN DIFKRENT FORMS OFT HE DIVORCED WIFE OF A PROMINENT "KING" POLITICIAN.

Mrs. Cora Sims Daniels tells the following strange story in the Hartford Times, prefacing it by a statement to the effect tbat tbe iady who told ber of it -was one who "stands not only above suspicion as to her veracity, for sbo is well-known philanthropist, tbe wife of a man whose name stands high among tbe benefactors of tbis country but a lady whose keen intelligence, caltn judgment and philosophical researcb bas resulted in two books, already making her name famous as a deep yet witty writer." Tbe story is as follows "When I was somewhat younger than

I am now, my husband and myself became acquainted with one of America's moat noted artists. Should I tell you his name you would instantly know of whom I am speaking, for it is a household word. His wife was very, very beautiful. Indeed, 1 think of live of tbe most magnificent women American baa ever produced, she would rank third! Her husband, however, treated her with such extreme cruelty that she was divorced from him. Some years later she again married tbis time to a financier and politician, so noted tbat in tbe day of that 'ring* bis name was as prominent as tbe Jay Gould now. By a strange fatality he. too, treated this beautiful womau with such uncalled-for and undeserved brutality that there was an inevitable separation and as tbe friendship between her and ray family had continued, she went about with us, and for nearly a year we were as intimate as sisters. It was not until this time that 1 bad began to be interested in spiritualism but while in Paris we all made a series of Investigations, especially as to to materialization, whicn inevitably convinced us of the fact of spirit return and spirit communication, and we learned many occult truthB, which, however startling, subsequent events have proved to be facts. While we all familiarly conversed with materialised friends, she alone tieemed to be forsaken, and at a most satisfactory seance to every one in tbe room but herself, my lovely friend had no tests, no communications of any importance. But one day she was calk fed to the cabinet by a male spirit wpo proclaimed himself her dual soul, tier mate, her true other half. I myself afterwards talked with him at leisure and listened to his marvelous communications. It would be impossible to state our surprise and amazement when after

fliving

us indisputable tests of bis splrtual being and power, bo addressed my friend as bis wire, and told her that she had lived on'earth with him as his mate twice before. Tbat tbis was tho third time she had been re-incarnated. Tbat she was first born into human form in Greece about three thousand years ago, and lived a most eventful life as a Greek woman she then was re-incarnated at Home, about one thousand years ago, and again lived a romantio life a* his mate and now she had again entered a human form, while he bad not, but followed her career as a guardian spirit. He gave the details ot ber history in both these previous lives with an accuracy as to history which defied criticism, and, strangest of all, as her life (or lives) was unfolded to her and us in gluwlug language, she recognised and supplemented with her own remembrance the tale he told, and often taking tbe worus from his mouth, with wonderful details as if Inspired, renewed in imagination in her pro-existence."

THKRK are civilised nations a large proportion of whose peasantry eat little

p-^'v or no bread. Baked loaves of bread are unknown in many parts of South Austria and of Italy and throughout tbe agricultural districts of Roumania. In

E* the villages of tbe Oberoteiermark, not very many milt from Vienna, bread is never seen, tbe staple food of the people being stern, a kiud of porridge made from ground beech nuta, which is taken I at breakfast with fresh or curdled milk, at dinner with broth or with fried lard, and with milk again for supper. This stent is also known as heiden, and takes iheplaceof bread not only in the Stelermark, but in Carinthia and in many

Italy

arts ol the Tyrol. In the north ot the peasantry live chiefly on polenta, a porridge made of boiled maue. The polenta, however, is not allowed to granulate like Scotch porridge or like the Austrian sters, but is boiled into a v« »olid pudding, which is cut up and p^rtioned out with a string. It is eaten •uold as often as hot, and is in every nensa the.Italian peasant's daily bread.

The modern Roumanians are held by inaov scholars to be descended from a

i^Ronian

colony, in other words, to be the

,-f jieou*ins of the Italians and. curiously enough, a variation of the polenta called Visnamaliga is the national dish of Ron fsStnanim.The mamaliga is like the polen -%a in thai it ia made of boiled uialxe, but it la unlike the latter in one important re*as the grains are not allowed to '-*v**4g»tti.. into a solid mass, but are kept ».dls.inct, after the fashion of oatmeal porridge.

FEMININE FASHIONS.

THE NEW YORK GIRLS TYRING TO BE JUST LIKE LITTLE MEN.

"Clara Belle" says the New York girl is trying once more to be a little man. She bas these spells periodically, and sometimes with considerable violence. The outbreak showed itself this time during tbe spring, and now, with tbe advent of summer, seems likely to rage as never before. It all comes of equestrianism. The trousers which she wears under tbe skirt of her riding habit make her feel masculine, and she bas an uncontrollable desire to extend the manliness of costnme into things visible. Her bosom swells with pride just now under men's neckwear. Flat scarfs ef light colored silk, with a scarf-pin stuck in them "dickeys" of plaited cambric, with standing collars, and arrangements of folded pique are illustrations. Tbe vests of satins, brocades and leather now so fashionable, tbe gloves of heavy embroidered leather, the fancy Jot silk and colored handkerchiefs, and even tbe return of linen cuflfs may be counted as expressions of tbe mania. Linen collars are still high and tight around tbe neck. Tbe cuff's correspond. Many of these are of colored linen. Young girls incline much to dog-collars of ribbon, tied in front and fastened by two or four gold pins with heads of tiny flowers or insects. Standing collars are either buttoned with a single button in front or tied with a narrow ribbon, passing through two button boles. Some, a'so, have collars turned over slightly. Tbis last style is attached to a small chemisette when the form of the dress require* it. Collars of colored percale and of pique, in white and colo'rs, are also liked. The "jaquette gentleman" is much worn. It is of corduroy or of a single row of buttons, and fails loose without darts or small side pieces. The back id very short and almost tight-fit-ting. Around tbe basque is a hem about one inch and a half deep, against which is sewed a second basque hemmed in the same way and falling below the upper one to about tbe depth of tbe hem. Tbis jacket is worn over skirts of coarse fabrics, as well as over elegant lace ones. Tbe silk hat and tbe jockey have long been in use for equestri poses. This season we have as novelty, and a very expensive one, flatcrowned mixed or mottled straw bats, differing from men's straw hats in only one respect—the band is of velvet instead of silk ribbon. These are suited in style, though not in price, to be worn with flannel dresses but, being a novel are to be seen in company with elaborate stieet costumes. Shall I reveal the actual extent of this indulgence in male attire? And yet whv should I, a faithful chronicler of the fashions of my sex, hesitate to do my duty Tbe fact is that tbe chemise of the moment is a shirt. Tbat is to say, it is short, untrimmed, and has the flaps at the sides' —just the same as those of their fathers and brothers.

FASHIONABLE WOMEN. Fashion kills more women than toil and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a greater ti aggression of the laws of woman's nature, a greater injury to ber physical and mental constitution, than poverty and neglect.

It is a sad truth that fashion mmpered women are almost worthless or all the endsof human life they have but little force of character they have still less power of moral will, ana quite as little physical energy. They live for no great purpose in life they accomplish no worthy ends. They are only doll forms in the hands of milliners and servants, to be dressed and fed as order. They write no books, they set no rich examples for virtuous and womanly life. If they rear children, servants and nurses do all save give them birth, and when reared what are they What do they ever amount to but weak scions of the old stock?

WHY MINISTERS ABE NOT HEABD. New York Mall and Express. ••Do you know why ministers do not make more converts asked an observant church-goer. "It is because onehalf of the congregation do not hear them, and the other half are not impressed by what they do hear. There ia oot one minister of liny who speaks clearly or distinctly enough to be understood. They speak loud enough, but the articulation being indistinct the meaning is lost in the sound. In order to persuade or convince any one, the speaker must be clearly understood and must give foroe to tbe meaning as well as emphasis to the words. Aside from the prevalent hsbit of ranting, consequent upon emotion, a great many ministers 'chop off their words in their haste to utter, or rather spurt out the next. In thus 'telescoping* their words they are heard but not understood. It seems impossible to correct tbe ministerial habit of talking through the nose, and saying 'Giwd,' for example. They mistake this whining vernacular for gravity. Their Idea is to use the deep, sweet." !gnuod which would Impart words. Many valuable lessons from tbelrcbolre.

THE CUSTOMS AND LAZY FRIVOLITIES OF A TROPICAL CITY.

In two davs I lost tbe good reputation wbidli it had taken a lifetime to build op. jBeing rather tired by the round of fashionable duties I rah down to Ha vaua, spent three days there and then was back in New York before my friends could realize tbat I had More than got there. Although Havana is only three days distent by steamy, it is three centuries behind-band in some of the customs that obtain there. The women are like slaves, and tbe homes are like barems. I stopped at tbe residence of two Spanish beauties'who bad been my schoolmates in New %'ork. Wbile we were girls together I did not see

any

difference between them and the

Americans, except tbat they bad the most exquisite laces and gorgeous fans, and were lazier than a government clerk, or, to be exact, two government clerks. They were so rich, however, that it made no difference what they did it was 8ure to be all right. Well, last Thursday I was driven up to their door in the Cerro, and out 1 stepped into their unexpectart arms. I was bewildered by the ravishing beauty of their home. It was a low stone house, whose white walls rose out of the dense luxuriance of atropical garden. Oleanders, like a tree on fire, with Ted blossoms, were mingled with fan-leaf palms, olives, cocoanuts, bananas, figs and a score of vegetable curios. Tbe house seemed to be as open as tbe garden. Tbe front door was big enough to let in & Broadway 'bus, and th« window was just as big, and instead of glass was covered with a light ornamental iron screen. The floor was of costly tileing, littered with Oriental rugs, aud for portieres white hand-niHile lace curtains hung in the

doorways.

for doing something seems to ty ahead of my most ardent The two female servants, negro

women, were Miss Conception and Miss Assumption. These two made a raid on me after the coffee episode and carried me bodily to a beautiful marWe bathroom, where I had a bath fit for any of Victoria's daughters. Pretty soon it was "dinner time, and then we had breakfast. After that I began to get uneasy to go out and see Havana. The girls said all right, but I must, wait until afternoonk Iu the course tfrrtarr ti'*" w* and then had dinner and began to tbe window-sill again, exactly like tbe picture of Slaves In a harem. I was dreadfully sick of that sort of thing, but the monotony was presently relieved by a little incident. A goodlooking, well-dressed young man began to pass and repass the bouse. "Who is it?" I asked. "Good Heavens!" said one sister to the othen "It is that wretched Dom Emillo. For goodness'sake, how often has he passed "About three times," said I.

Instantly the girls arose, as if greatly frightened, closed the heavy wooden shutter of the window, and, bidding me follow, went upstairs and occupied rocking.cbairs on the back veranda. "You must know," said Rosa, the eldest, "that is the way tbe men flirt here. The ladles rarely go out, an® never go unaccompanied by a relative ot slave. They spend their time as you, saw us, seated in the windows. Th«fj young men, if they wish to make the acquaintance of a lady, pass and repass her window, as you just saw Don Emillo do. If the lady remains in the window, that is a sign that the young man is pleasing to ber, and he then has the right to come to the window and speak to her. If she leaves the window, heknows his suit is rejected. We were not a moment too soon."

Amazed at this, I piled the girls with questions. I found that they would not «o out of doors except in the evening with toothless old wench Conception, or with their father or toother. If necessity drove them to some store, they must take the old wench in their carriage, and wait in vehicle while the clerks brought the goods out to the curbstone and displayed them one at a time. No young fady could with any aafety see ber sweetheart alone for a minute before her marriage to him. If she remained in his company alone one minute the act would be misconstrued, and be might take advantage of it. No young lady could with any safety walk out of doors alone for ever so short a distance, under any imaginable circumstance. However, 1 upset some of this nonsense though to the great prejudice of my own reputation in Havana—as I intimated at tbe outset.

EVERY WOMAN IN THE LAND owes it to herself and ber family to take oare of her health. When she finds her health failing, aud debility and weak ness, undermines her strength, her surest aud best remedy to

WHY THE SAFE WAS OPEN.

ARE JEWELS LEFT INSECURE TO IN SURE THE PERSONAL SAFETY OF A WIFE.

ELMIRA, N. Y., June 8.—The fact that the recent robbery of $5,000 worth of diamonds from the residence of tbe, Hon. C. O. B. Walker, in Corning, dur-f ing his absence, was committed with the greatest ease, because the safe in which the jewelry was kept was not locked, bas given rise to much surprise and unfavorable comment. No one could understand how a man of the exCongressman's strict businessjnethods could be so careless and thoughtless in regard to the protection of his household treasures, especially as many of them, through association and long family possession, had a value to him much beyond their intrinsic worth. When questioned on the subject by a friand, the latter was still further surprised to be told by Mr. Walker tbat the fact of the safe being left open was not the result of carelessness or thoughtlessness, but was left open by' bis express order and direction. "When I am home," said theebc-Con-gressman, "I always lock the safe and

In the middle

of tllfe bouse was a garden optai to tbe *ky, and behind tbis, as if in a Separate house, were the kitchen and the servants' quarter^. It was as cool as.a miser's reception of an appeal for alms.

That afternoon the two girls and I sat in a trio of rocking-chairs until after dinner, and then we curled up on tbe broad-tiled window-sill and looked out on the carriages aud pedestrian^ passing the house. Next morning we. arose, aud the servants brought us some coffee, so strong that my hair, wbich is as straight as Sitting BUII'R, curled into knots while I was drinking. The girls said I could not. have anything to eat until breakfast, at dinner time,Tstcause tbat is the custom. In Turkey I try to be like a turkey so I suffered agonies of hunger aud said nothing. I ought to tell you what the servants' names were. The porter was named Jesus. He sat in the doorway %nd made cigarettes for a tobacco factory from morning uutil night. I could not find out that be was any good except to keep theives out, but he got paid for that, ahd for making cigarettes alsowbicb, I think, was very clever of him. My idea has alwaye been to get paid for doing nothing, but to get another salary sides, for a"

key away. When I go away home it is understood in my house that the safe must not be locked. You will remember tbat when the Wellsboro* Bank was robbed a few years ago, the cashier and members of his family were threatened with great cruelty and violence by the robbers because of tbeir resisting the demands for the keys to the vaultB and safe. That set me to thinking, and one day I said to myself: 'We have some things in that safe which are valuable aud very dear to us. Now, it is only a question of time when some ruffian or ruffians will come after tbem. If I am home the chances are that they will not get them but I may be away at the time. If they come then, and find that safe locked, they wi'lt hesitate at no personal violence toward yoo in their efforts to effect an entrance to it. All the precious relics and treasures in the world would not be recompense for the results of such treatment. Therefore when I am absent from home, the safe must not be locked.^ Then if robbers come they will secure their booty and retire without disturbing yow.' Robbers came while I was away, secured their booty, and left without disturbing Mrs. Walker or any one else. They were even considerate enough to administer ether to my wife, for fdar of disturbing ber. Suppose tbat safe bad been locked. I don't care to even conjecture what the consequences might have been, and I feel that in saving my family from them, the paying of $5,000 was a trifling matter."

In the course of seventeen years I have steered a gcod many men down on East Broadway, and I never yet failed to amaze them by the crowds of handsome women. The oest way to see them is to start along Grand, street from the Bowery about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, take the south side of tbe street and follow it east as far as East Broadway there you will see hundreds of girls that will make you gasp for breath. There are faces more beautiful than any you ever seen on Broadway, and figures tbat no man can find fault with. After you turn into East Broadway and pro ceud downward, you will catch tbe diamond in the rough. You will see girls there,almost in rags who are more beautiful than any girl you can find in New York above Fourth street. 1 don't care who she is. They live in tenement houses and over the shops along Broadway. It is a social quarter, every one knows every one else, and the women are taken up with the gossip of the neighborhood.

IN THE SICK BOOM. "House Talk" in Peoria Call. Several weeks of illness and a recent experience in nursing have impressed upon my mind the fact that about one person in a hundred is fit to be admitted to a sick room. There are hundreds of in tbeir graves to-day who might ve been alive and well had they been spared the championship of the injudicious visitor. In the midst of giving medicine and anticipating the many wants of the invalid I have had an opportunity to study the idiosyncracies of callers. When the poor lady is fainting with nausea they discuss pork and beans and cabbage and greens and other rank and unsavory viands, the mention of which i^ frequently unpleasant to many persons who are in sound health. All their sick relatives and friends are reviewed, until the patient has in her mind's eye an assemblage more dismal than tbe "Court of Death." The features of small-pox, rheumatism, fever, epilepsy and paralysis are discussed with a minuteness which would be proper at the meeting of a medical society, nut is most pernicious in the hearing of the sick. All the deaths, sudden and lingering, are told, with any harrowing details that have been learned or manufactured. Tbe people who thus torture the helpless invalid are blinder than bats ana mere stolid than oxen. They talk, talk, talk, falling to observe tbe increasing restlessness, the feverish nervousness that increases and continues until outraged nature can endure no more. There is no place where tbe exercises of common sense is more necessary than in ministering to the sick. It requires the tact and forethought of a finished diplomatist to be' able to serve without wearying, to move sfbost without noise, and to perform the tasks required of the attendant, with teader yet firm hands, which never hurt or bnngle. A cheerful countenance, even in the face of despair, is an urgent nectssity, and soft tones that never are lowered to a rasping whisper. The greatest physlciau that ever lived could not save the life of a patient whose door is always open to those who come with mistaken kindness to "entertain" thoso who should be left to the soothing and reviving influence of rest and quiet.

THE SCHOOLMASTER'S PBOM1SE. "Boys," said an old schoolmaster smiling, one day, "I am about to bargain with you for good conduct. I desire that you will behave yourselves- with decorum for one week, and I will promise to show you a curiosity—what no man ever Baw, and, having shown* it to you, what no man will ever see again." An anxious week followed—a week of curiobity, bewilderment, hope, and pleasure in embyro. Out of school it was all tLe talk—"What could it be?" Another and another day, until at last Saturday dawned upon our gladdened young hearts. Nine o'clock camp every urchin was at his post books and'slates all in readiness every task ftilly committed to memory. Altogether a-charm-ing state of affairs. "Tinkle, tinkle!" sounded the bell—that bell had a voice as well as a tongue. Mr. Bircbem entered, seated himself, then raised the lid of his desk, and drew the wonderful thing forth—adjusted bis ominous-looking spectacles astraddle his nasal projection, and proceeded to the solemn ceremony, saying, "The hour has at length arrived. Behold in my upraised finger a--single filbert. In this filbert is a kernel," ceremoniously breaking the shell- and exposing the tiny thing to view,, he continued, "This, no man ever saw then opening his capacious jaws he thrust in the mysterious kernel, crushed and swallowed it 1 "Boys!" exclaimed he trtuyxnn will never—I shall never—no man ever will see that kernal again! To your lesnpns, you rascals, every dog of you!"

HADN'T FAB TO DROP. "Women," said old Mr. Squug. looking up from bis paper, and placidly smoothing the shining surface of his bald head, "woman is strange creeturs. They're different from men. It's a'most impossible to reform 'em once they gets down. When a man falls from grace he soou gets up ag'in but when a woman falls it sorter stuns her like, and she don't have no ambition to rise ag'in. Yes, women is strange creeturs.'r "Yes," said old Mrs.Squaggs, thoughtfully, as she interrupted her knitting for a moment, "a man rises easily after he falls from grace, but you see be hain't fur to fall. With a woman it is different."

HENBY WABD BEECHER^S brother, Rev. W. H. Beecber, of 66 Park Av., Chicago, adds his emphatic testimony to the value of ATKIIOMSOROS as a specific for Rheumatic and Neuralgic affections. He writes^ "Have used ATHLOPHOROS enough to satisfy me tbat it will certainty cure Neuralgia, Sciatica an Inflammatory Rheumatism, and remove all the sharp pains of Chronic Rheumatism. I recommend my friends to try it."

CALLING TIME.

They were sitting iu tbe parlor, and she was getting sleepy. "What time is it?" sbe asked.

He looked at his watch, and replied tbat it lacked five minutes of 11, and then, being struck with an idea, be asked "Why is my watcb like you, my pet?" "I don't know." "Because it is very pretty," he replied. "And why is my watch like you?"sbe asked. "I don't ko^w, I'm sure. Why is your watch like me, my dear "Because it won't go," she replied with a yawn.

Then the young man went home.

THE STAQE-DRIVEB'S STORY.

HOW GENERAL SCOTT'S LIFE WAS SAVED ANI HOW HISDRIVER TWICE ESCAPED DEATH.

The traveler of the present day, as he ia hurried along by the lightning express, in its buffet cars and palace sleepers, seldom reverts in thought to the time when the stage coach and packet were the only means of communication between distant points. It Is rare that one of tbe real old-time stage drivers is met with now-a-days and when the writer recently ran across Fayette Haskell, of Lockport, N. Y., he felt like a bibliographer over the discovery of some rare volume of ^'forgotten lore." Mr. Haskell, although one of the pfoneers in stage driving (he formerly ran from Lewlston to Niagara Falls and BufSalo), is bale and hearty and bids fair to live for many years Tbe strange stories of his early adven' tures would fill a volume. At one time "when going down a mountain near Lewiston with no less a personage than General Scott as a passenger, the brakes gave way and the coach came oa tho heels of the wheel horses. The only remedy was to whip the leaders to a gallop. Gaining additional momentum with each revolution of the wheels the coach swayed aud pitched down the mountain side and into tbe streets of Lewiston. Straight ahead at the foot of the step hill flowed the Niagara river, toward which the four horses dashed, apparently to certain death. Yet tho firm hand never relaxed its hold nor tho clear brain its conception of what must be done in tbe emergency. On dashed the horses until the narrow dock was reached on the river bank, when by masterly exhibition of nerve and daring the coach was turned in scarce its own length and the horses brought to a stand still before the pale lookers-on could realize what bad occurred. A purse wa» raised by General Scott and presented to1

Mr. Haskell with high compliments for his 6klli and bravery. Notwithstanding all his strength and his robust constitution to strain of continuous work and exposure proved to# much for Mr. Haskell's constitution* Tbe constant jolting of the coac^and tbe necessarily cramped position in which he was obliged to sit, oontributed to tbis end, and at times he was obliged to abandon driving altogether.

Speaking of this period he said:

"I found it almost impossible to sleepat night my appetite left me entirely and I had a'tired feeling whioh I never knew before and could not account for." "Did you give up driving entirely?" "No. I tried to keep up but it waa only with the greatest effort. This state of things continued for nearly twenty years until last October when I went all to pieces."

"In what way "Oh, I doubled all up could not walk without a cane and was incapable of any effort or exertion. I bad a constant desire to urinate both day and night and alfbougb I felt like passing a gallon every ten minutes only a few drop» could escape and they thick with sediment. Finally it ceased to flow entirely aftd I thought death was very near.?' "What did you do then "What I should have done long before: listen to my wife. Under her advice I began anew treatment." "And with what result?" "Wonderful. It unstopped theotosed

assages aud what was still more wonregulated the flow. Tbe sediment vanished my appetite re tor bed and I am now well ana good for twenty more years wholly through the aid of Warners' Safe Cure that has done wonders for me as well as for so many others."

Mr. Haskell's experience is repeated every day in the lives of thousands of American men and women. An unknown evil isundermlnlng the existence of an innumerable number wbo do not realize tbe danger tbey are in until health has entirely departed and death perhaps stares them in the face. To neglect such important matters is like drifting in the current of Niagara above the Falls.
