(Frau Last Week.)SiEDICMS. CIRCLES, ETC.

There are, undoubtedly, more 'home circles being held at this time than a t any tim e in the history of Spiritualism. It is not an uncommon thing to find three or four or or a half dozen different circles far development being held in a small tows.

Thousands of mediums are being developed, though most of them, for one reason or another, work entirely in private; however, new mediums for various phases are coming into the public work from time to time.

The publishing of "The Great Psychological Crime” and the prolonged debate upon the subject of “Obsession.” together with the discussion of the subject of “Fraud" by friend and foe, has in some measure discouraged medium* in their development but we think this win not be lasting. In fact these are but passing clouds reflecting their shadows for the moment; following them the sun will shine ibe dearer.

The consideration of all these questions may prove beneficial in the end though for the time being it makes it harde* for the mediums,

THE FRAUD QUESTION.The fraud practiced by an oc-

|nas pretending physical rr.c- ■vMwwrvlvev—no* mizw ear twwvwwmuch as that other class of rascals do who advertise extensively in our great dailies, circulate naming po • ters, etc. telling the public that they are "the greatest clairvoyants, palmists, astrologers.’’ etc. “bo earth” and “can read everyone* life like an open book,” “tell whether ones wife or husband is true or not," “bring back lost lovers,” “develop any phase of mediumship desired.” “Find stolen property, hidden treasure, oil wells and gold mines.” “Terms fifty cents and up.”

These conscienceless creatures infest the cities and towns of this country in swarms, not a place of any size that has not been visited time and time again by them. Some of them have gamed the confidence of their intended victims, who are usually persons who know but little or nothing at all about Spiritualism—and in its sacred name, through one method or another, rob their victims.

At Denver, Colorado we met the License Collector who told us that if we, or the National Association would help the city to find a certain man whom he named, we would confer a great favor upon the people of Denver and besides, the city would gladly reward us therefor.

This worse than highwayman had posed as a great clairvoyant, astrologer, palmist, etc. and through his subtle arts of devlishness possessed himself of $500,00 of one widow's money and $1000,00 of another under the pretext that the r Spirit husbands wanted him to invest it where they should direct and it would bring their widows “big returns,”

After getting possession of the money this “crook" left town and Spiritualism is blamed for the robbery.

This and sundry other tricks and fraudulent practices in the name of mediumship and clairvoyance coupled with the claim of being the greatest “mahtmas ” Astrologers, "palmists,” etc. “in the world” have been practiced in St. Louis, Mo,, Rockford, 111., several times, Peoria,111., at least four times; in each case these robbers carried away a

■large amount of money. In Dan- ville, 111., there were two cases in Iwhich they got six hundred dollars lo f innocent peoples cash. In Bloom

ington. Ill-, several cases occured in which good people were robbed of hundreds of dollars. In fact we find such cases of this kind where- ever we go, sad probably not ooc case in a dozen ever comes to tight,' as people are not generally anxious to let the public know they have been deceived by these frauds.

AO of this rascality is laid to spiritualists and mediums and is the real or greatest reason why Spiritualism is not more popular with the outside world- Mediums and Spiritualists are fighting this evil constantly, and yet, they must bear this humiliating burden terrible as it is, the innocent must suffer for the guilty.

We hope this Convention will pass resolutions condemning these practices in the strongest terms, and by so doing furnish the evidence to all that such nefarious works have no more relation to medium- ship or Spiritualism than falsehood has to troth.

CITY LICENCES FOR MEDIUMS.

The Councils of a number of cities have sought to get rid of these frauds and have taken a very strange way to do it, viz; by granting them licences to practice. This is just what the fakirs want. The license fee is nothing to them. The privilege of working in a town, where they plot and scheme unmolested is of great value to them. On the other hand." the license fee placed upon s poor medium is an unjust burden. Some of these cities, however, do not collect a license fee from mediums who have credentials from the N. S- A.

Mediums do not wish to become yV-’-.t.'—*of tr.f law; nor do they wish to give up their work, neither should they be obliged to submit to this injustice. 'Gome action should be taken by this Convention that will lead to the removing of this burden from the shoulders of our mediums.

False statements regarding the X. S, A. and its work have been industriously circulated. They evidently originated, with the frauds who are not able to get the endorsement of our State and National Associations.

One of these false statements accuses the N, S. A. of being opposed to phenomena: another that theorganization - has fallen into the hands of the frauds and carried on by them for the purpose of making money, these stories and many mere equally as false, have been doing injury to our cause, and Spiritualists were glad when we came and proved by the resolutions addpted at every National Convention, and by its Ordination Usages, etc that it upholds every phase of med himship, and furthermore, endorses, and protects those that are worthy and qualified.

We think that a copy of the Ordination Usage of the N. S. A. should be placed in the hands of every medium and speaker in the land, and that every Spiritualist should inform herself of its contents. Its adoption was a movement in the right direction.

STATE ASSOCIATIONS.Most of the State Associations

are doing excellent work, and are increasing in favor among the Spiritualists in general. They are growing stronger in point of systematic work as well as in finances each year, as their reports will undoubtedly show.

There should be State organizations in all of the States. We think a good strong State Association could be organized in Colorado if the Spiritualists there would take hold of the matter.THE INDIANA STATE ASSOCIATION.The Indiana State Spiritualists

Association that we organized one year ago last February has proved to be a success. The executive board is thoroughly competent, full of zeal and entirely harmonious. Its work has been of a high charac-

Kindly allow me a little space in your esteemed paper for a reply to the statement of a contriboter in the November 4th issue. I am a student of Astrology and Nature's Forces, and I take some exceptions to assertions made in the article in your paper, under the head line, “Yott Are Free.” The writer says, “AU pis notary influence is subject to the will of the individual. Events may he controlled, etc.**

Subject means being under authority. Will means to command, to determine, or the faculty of choosing. Individual means numerically one or a single person. Planetary means pertaining to or consisting of planets. The earth on which we live is but a planet, so also are Jupiter, Mars. Saturn Uranus, Neptune and others. These are the planetary influences. A part of the universal forces or principles in nature’s great laboratory. Influence means or refers to moving or directing power; to act upon.

It has been learned by observation, that the above named planets each have an influence, also move1 in perfect accord with the principles of nature. The earth moves on its axis every 24 hours; each planet has its own natural motion and time for making its revolution. There is no human will that is capable of stopping for one moment the revolution of the earth on its axis, neither are anv of the various

The statement has hitherto been made that the stars indicate, but do not compel, showing that there is no recognition of a force or a law operative m nature superior to the mind of roam.

We wish, therefore, to emphasize the statement, that law rules supreme thru all nature, and "not one jot or title of the law can be set aside; all must be fulfilled.”

to Or Spiritualists of If scats*.The State Spiritualist Association

is pleased to announce that the arrangements for the missionary work are progressing nicely, and many towns are being beard from.

Our missionaries, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Noyes, will very shortly be in the vicinity of Madison, Bara boo, Poali. Beloit and several other points in that section.

Now friends, this is your chance for meetings. Look up your location on the map and tell us which is the nearest point in which meetings can be held. No matter if you cannot get a hall—have parlor meetings if you can do no better, but get a hall whenever possible. This is what we ask—entertainment for the workers, and a free meeting place— they to take the collections’or the door fees. Write at once to the undersigned if you want these good workers to visit you. Remember they, will be within a few miles of your home.

Our other missionary, Wilt j . Erwood. will soon be at Grand Rapids. Stevens Point, Superior. Xeffls- ville, and many other points in the northern section. Do you want him to visit your If you do you have r—*y tr, Nicr- ;fint fie

mand of any individual. So as each planet has its influence or directing power and mode of motion, each moves right along irrespective of the belief or disbelief, will or command of any individual or person, and when, in accord with the planets' respective mode of motion, they come into certain aspects or relation with each other, their is, in connection with there nature, certain results, per combination of forces in operation.

Such men as Huxley, Tyndal, Dryden. Spencer and Flammarion. were not fools. They reached into the depths of these natural forces and testified to the accuracy of these principles in nature.

It seems to me there is some discrepancy in the statement of the writer in the article referred to. In the first statement the writer says: "All planetary influence is subject to the will of the individual: events may be controlled, etc." That is a positive statement. If the writer has confidence in that assertion why in the second place does he sgy: “If an event is indicated and we direct the affirmation of wili or mind, to offset it (event) and it will occur in spite of our efforts, we must know that a higher law than our intelligence sees it necessary," etc.

The writer makes, in the first place, a positive assertion, but secondly seems to have some doubt, and that there was a possibility that the affirmation of mind or will would not or could not offset the event indicated. If the first statement is correct, it would leave no room for doubt; hence there would not have been any need for the second statement because the positive assertion of the first statement leaves no inference of a conclusion.

“The wind bloweth and we hear the sound thereof," and no affirmation of mind or will is capable of stopping the wind or the earth in its revolution*, or the ceaseless rounds of each or any of the planets that are in- operation in accord with the ptinciples of nature. It seems much more reasonable to say that each individual is more or less subservient to the principles of nature’s universal forces, than it is to say that these forces are under the authority of an individual, (single person.)

arrange to visit you while en routt This is the way to spread the truth —will you not join in the work No matter if you are the only Spiritualist in your town or vicinity— if you are, glory all the more in the fact that you have courage enough to say so: write and say what you can do and you will find the State Association ready and willing to meet you half way.

Remember all these workers are sent out as missionaries of the State Association and are in the field to build up Spiritualism. Are you one of us friends? Spiritualists, this is- important! We can best serve you while in the neighborhood of your town. We will send advertising circulars for advertising the meetings. Do you want to hear spiritual truths? If you do write now. the’ routes are fast filling up. No town in which there are Spiritualists will be too small for us to visit.

This is the time for a genuine revival of interest in the good Cause. We know you are interested—let us hear from you'.

Again let us call attention to your personal membership: youhave forgotten to renew. A note from you to the secretary, Rev. Nellie K. Baker will receive prompt attention. Send in your membership now.

Remember to send all communications relative to the missionary’ work to Will J. Erwood, Milton, Rock Co., Wis. R. F. D. 10.

Every true lover knows the word is transformed by his spiritual awakening. The rose has a deeper tint, a fairer breath of fragrance. The hills are more beautiful, the faces of common men and womeh are more fair. If this be true of the manifestation of divinity which we perceive in the mortal we are draw- to commune with, how much more shall we not finally see of beauty and grace and joy when we come to a perfect comprehension-and unity with that God who ever lives and loves in perfection and unlimited power.

At every fork of the road the route to heaven is along the way of self-denial.

P U R E G O L D INH U M A N N A T U R E

The grandest lesson ot life is to team the true meaning of the "not me," the outer world of nature and of t a x

Everything has a deep, spiritual significance and it is a part of wisdom for each one of us to team the great lesson of life.

We are a great spiritual empire that is ruled and guided by infinite wisdom and a perfect love.

The man or woman who realizes this fact drinks from the fountain of eternal love.

Man is a spirit here and now; a spirit in the human form, with a complete human organization; having spiritual senses adapted to spiritual objects, as he also has his natural senses adapted to natural objects. The natural body is no part of the real man, but simply the sustaining basis of the spiritual substance of which the real man is formed—the instrument he uses to perfect his complete spiritual organization, and lay the foundation for the glorious, superstructure of his future life.

“Gold is tried in the fire and accepted; men in the furnace of adversity."

The efficacy of fire in purifying and tempering metals is well shown in the case of steel. For a long time the secret of making the best steel was supposed to be lost, but the conditions are known now and one of them is that the iron selected

.bo-..if ,7,V p u re s t .and m a s ; ,malleable and ductile sort. It must be exposed to the intensest heat, and when fire has done its utmost the hammer and anvil are used mercilessly, the metal worked again and again.

The very- soul of the metal is tried. Then come baths of boiling greese and of cold water, purifying it. Without fire there can be no steel.

What the ductile iron is to the fine Damascus blade, or what the ore of gold is to the perfect ornament of the neck or the wrist, that human nature is to human character.

The first is the mere raw material; loose, soft, crude; the last is the finished product that glorifies beauty and strengthens strength.

Human nature is the raw material from which the pure gold of fine human character is fashioned.

It is found in all sorts and conditions of men, as gold and iron are found in mines. It runs thru our modern society in veins and in strata. Sometimes thick — now wide and now narrow. Sometime it is got out in big nuggets of human love, seeking to help and Mess the human family—sometimes it must be sifted out and picked up like fine dust. It is often found mixed in with foreign substances that in Nh* fusion of humanity- have been melted and run together, the lead and copper and nickel that also have their-analogues in the organic world. There is a large admixture of' worm, lizard, snake; of the owl and bat; of wolf and hyena; of wild cat and panther; of lion and gorilla.

In its crude state, human nature is not attractive and seems of little worth. Men often abuse it, call it by hard names, say it is vain to try’ fire and water on it. Even the inner fires of the inner earth will not refine it.

But such judgment is as unwise as a similar judgment of gold or iron would be.

.Human culture is-very crude and imperfect, we must confess—but it is the best that we have. Dwell as much as you will on its corruption and debasements, recount the histories of wars and slavery, yet human nature in itself and its prepotent possibilities, is the best thing we

TO SAVE YOUNG MEN.

November IS,

Plttabttrjrer’s Nov*?! Pla ■ •f laatrlai

SPEECH►. Talk happiness. The world is sad

enoughW ithout your woes. No path is

wholly rough!Look for the places that are smooth

and clear,And speak of these to rest the

weary earOf earth, so hurt by one continuous

strainOf human^discontent and grief and

pain. *

Talk faith. The world is better off without

Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.

If you have faith, in God, or man, or self.

Say so; if'not push back upon the shelf

Of silence all your thots, till faith* shall com e;

No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.

Talk health. The dreary never-! ' changing taleOf mortal maladies is worn and

stale.You cannot charm, or interest, or

pleaseB y harping on. that minor chord—

disease.Say you are well, or all is well with

youAnd God will hear your words and

make them true.Ella Wheeler W ilcox.

HOW TO WALK.

Never allow your physical standard to drop. Keep up your energy; talk as if you were somebody and was going to' do som ething worth while in the world, so that even a stranger will note your bearings and mark your superiority. If you have fallen into a habit of walking in a listless, indolent way, turn right about face at once and make a

along like the failures you see sitting around on park benches, or lolling about the streets w ith their hands in their pockets, or haunting intelligence offices and wondering why fate had been so hard on them . You don’t w ant *o give people the impression that you are discouraged or that you are already falling to the rear. Straighten up, then! Stand erect! B e a m a n ! You are a child of the Infinite King. You have royal blood in your veins. Em phasize it by your bearing. A m an who is conscious of his kinship

“w ith God, and of his power and who believes thoroly in himself, walks w ith a firm, vigorous step, w ith his head erect, and his chin in, his shoulders thrown back and down, and his chest well projected in order to give a large lungfcapac- ity— he is the man who does things.

You cannot aspire or accomplish great or noble things so long as you have the attitude and bearing of a coward or weakling. If you would be noble and do noble things, you m ust look up. You were made to look upward, and walk upright, not to look down and to shamble along

• in a semi-horizontal position. Put character, dignity, nobility into your walk.'

— Success.

T H E VA LUE OP TALK ING TO Y O UR SELF; OR, AUTO

SUGGESTION.

BY OLIVER OAKLEY.Every act, whether it be mental,

moral or spiritual, perpetuates itself indefinitely or until' it fulfils its errand, by the force with which it is sent. Jnst as when a stone is thrown into the water each wave or circle caused by its introduction widens until it reaches the rim of its environm ent. To realize this

. fact would be to stay the angry thot and word, which impeaches our further effort and weakens our influence among our fellows. It is much easier than we think to succor ourselves from the attrition and after effects o f our actions and thots.

You know what it is to talk to yourself? Well, this is one of the, finest avenues of escape from the s e 1 f-indulgent, s e 1 f-coneei vable!

There is no possibility of being overheard. and even tho the "other self” will "talk back" sometimes, yet, if you will take him or her, as the case m ay be, when good humor is feasting in the heart, you will be able to hold the floor until you get in your. work.

Mr. Hudson calls this "auto-suggestion” and impressing the "subjective mind ’; but whatever it is, it is a m ost valuable method of getting cured of things you wish to get rid of. You can get rid of the worst habit thru talking earnestly to yourself and making good your argument by believing it and desiring it with your thot. This is a belief worth working for.

Faith m ay be worked for the same as for the culture of music or painting or any desired acquirement. We gain understanding thru such endeavor. Faith is the direct result of knowledge. To become acquainted with any subject or thing; to know its meaning and character and power, is to have faith in it. This is a practical faith that will bring results. It is an acquirement, the acquirement reached thru the, Paul planting and Apollos watering kind, to which the Spirit giveth increase. Nothing is ever gained without the

•fulfilling seeds of desire, patience, honesty, sincerity, faithfulness and persistent attention.

To be of practical value, faith must be founded on knowledge; knowledge must be*the base for any permanent thing.

As we rise above our infirmities and difficulties thru the assertion of our faith in the progressive perfection of all things, they become as naught to us.

The twiq of every human soul is faith. As Emerson has said, we are born believing. Trust is as natural as the blossom is to the bud. It is the poise o f the angel within, in whose guardianship we have come here, and who, if we do not drive it away by doubt, will teach us to rise' 1HJ j ft , i 11 j 9 11 l i . L 1 L -----------— -------

m s« lie t^ v ^ u l^ sU o n n i^ T £ ignis oi that consciousness which knows that it knows; into the substance o f that which gives evidence of the invisible side, from which all things come that are made visible.

We spring from' the root to the bough; from sap to bloom by the vitalizing power of faith To make ourselves know this truth is to push ourselves forward into the knowledge of self-possession very rapidly.

I holding these self-communings we can say anything to ourselves we please and suggest extrem e means of im provem ent,. for no one outside of ourselves knows just the form of the desire, and the thing we know we ought to be and do!

Remember th is also, you can no more waste life than you can em pty the sea by shaking its spray from your eyelashes; it would be like picking thistles in seed time to try to waste life, but you can miss (for a time and an incarnation) the opportunity that is sure to come your way. and by neglecting to cultivate some gift that has been con- contrated in you— which is another form of opportunity.

Remember in this alito-sugges- tion— which is the most valuable and easy method— you can make of vourself very nearly (if not quite)

| anything you desire.■ M agazin e of Mysteries.

Ajcatnwt D r » k e i a « « a ,The Pittsburg Dispatch publishes t

•etter from an anonymous contribute signing himself *'A Father'’ suggest Ini a novel scheme for keeping young met from drinking alcoholic liquors i hl "father'1 says:

■“One of the many evils that even young man who wants to succeed should avoid is the use of Jmoxlcauu; llquore.

•There are many good m and worn •n who have formed societies, wbt have good plans, who devote their timi and money to save young men fron this evil, who will be blessed am thanked for their good work by tbi men and their families for saving them

"As this is the age for estaldishin) funds to take care of heroes, peusioi old age and long service, endow col leges and libraries, why not endow «• establish a fund to save young men 7

'The plan I hare In mind is this A young man will call at the Offlce o- the society, .make application to becoim a member by paying a fee of »1, slgt a pledge to abstain from the use o Intoxicating drink for -a period of lif teen years. If at the expiration of tba time he has kept his pledge and bee. faithful to Ills trust there shall be pah from this fund to him the sum of gluo with 4 per cent Interest added for Hf teen years.

“When we consider what It costs tb< taxpayer of the country to take cart of the evils that are caused by drtnl and when we consider the stake—tfat young men of the future—will not tbt taxpayer be willing to contribute « small yearly tax 7 Are there not manj good men and firms that would con tribute for this caiise and consider It f good investment?

"I have tried this plan in a amah way myaeif and know a money Induce ment has Its charms to young met where other plans fall. Ay It haa proved a good thing in a small way, 1 would like to put It before the public.'

“ Ladies and gentlem en: You arehere as th e guests of th e couple standing before us, Mr. H om er Briggs and Miss Pearl Chown. You are here by the ir invita tion , to w itness the ratification of a m arriage which has taken place in the ir own hearts

“ Marriage is n a tu ra l; it ex ists everywhere, in th e mineral, the vegetab le and th e anim al kingdom alike. I t exists in the anim al kingdom from the tin iest insect o r th e lowest reptile up to th e highest

I - -expression of^ life in m an and

•"Marriage has tw o .objects: th e first is companionship, co-operat on, assistance and love fo r each o ther under all circum stances; the o ther is the perpetuation of th e race. No license th a t can be issued b y the sta te , o r word th a t can be said by a m inister can m ake th e couple any more m an and wife th a n they are now. All we can -do here is to ra tify and advertise a union which already exists betw een them .

“ I ask th is couple no questions, as a ll questions betw een them belong to them selves alone—and no t to th e p u b lic ; an d have been asked an d answered perhaps to th e ir en tire satisfaction. I never ask either p a rty to obey th e o ther. The m arriage relation is no t th e relation of m aster and slave b u t th a t of equal pa rtn e rs; i t is a relation of inter-de-pendence, where each is under th e sam e obligation as th e other.

T now ask those here assem bled, does anv one know any reason w hy th e m arriage of th is couple should n o t be here an d now ratified? H earing no reply ' we will now p ro ceed.” .

Then tu rn in g to th e couple, th e speaker said; “ Y ou will now sign- nify to these friends your m arriage, and vour desire to hereafter be known as m an an d wife by joining your righ t hands. Mar- your b e a n s and lives ever be as closely and tkoroly un ited as you r hands are now joined.”

Then, handing Mr. Briggs a gold ring. Rev. H ull said : "M r. Briggs,you will signify to Miss Chown, in th e presence of these witnesses, th e endowment of all > ou have and all you are upon hex by placing th is ring upon her finger: and Miss Chown. you win signify in th e presence of these friends .the pcesenta- a: joe o f all you have and all yon are by perm itting him to place th is ring upon your finger.

“May your lives and your love be as pure and as untarn ished as th e gold in th e ring w hich is presented and received, an d as endless a s th eCMig.

“And now, by th e au th o rity of th is license, and b y th e a u th o rity vested in m e a s a m in ister o f th e gospel I pronounce th e ratification of your m arriage com plete. You are m an and wife.

“ Before th e benediction o r cong ratu lations. I will ask Mrs. H ull to give a short im provisation .”

Mrs. H ull responded w ith the following:“ I t was said in days of old,There was an archer w ith bow of

gold.H e ne 'e r missed h is aim when he

sent his dart.I t alw ays W ent to some tender

Following the congratu lations of th e one hundred guests, w ho also offered best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Chown, th is day being th e tw enty- six th anniversary of th e ir m arriage, th ey were seated a t th ree long tab les and an elaborate d inner was served.

The bridal tab le was beautifully decorated, th e color scheme here, a s well as on the o ther tab les being yellow and white, yellow and w hite chrysanthem um s and yellow candles w ith yellow shades, assisted in carry ing ou t the a rtistic idea. The gifts were m any a n d formed an a rray of china, silver and cu t glass.

aged thirty-seven and recently widow ed, decided to make the “grand tour* of the continent witii hi* son Edmund aged fourteen. He gave a list of da clothes that were to he sent after their to Lyons. I t included “6 Fine night capps Laced marked V in black sflfce and 2 Fine capps pifline.” for hi- own use, end “4 lew plame capp* marked V la Blew stike” for the boy There were also numerous elaborate shirts with lace and “New Cambric! double Ruffle Cuffes marked V In blew thread, r. paires of little Holland Caffes for Men. 3 pa ires of Oambrick double Boot-hose,*’ and a large number of “fine Holland Handkerchers Buttoned/ Also “2 Tufted Holland W&stcoates Lined 2 Dimothy Wasteoates, 4 Face Napkins and 2 old Handkerchers and 2 pa Ires of old Lixwen Stockings.” Ai Lyons a “Blacke trunke with 3 lockes and Wooden Rarres” was packed to gc to Florence and the widowed baronet's careful inventory of its contents shows that there was a great deal of the heavy mourning which the “etiquette of grief” required. “Black Cloatb Doublets. Black Breeches and Cloake, Blacke Cloath Cape for a Cloake and 2 other peeces of Black Cloath, Black Hats and Hatbands, Old Blacke Tafaty garters and new Black ribbon roses and several! peeces of extra crape.”

Sir Ralph Yerney’s baggage contained no fewer than “6 serge under- capps and 6 Browne callico under- capps.” These were for wearing by day when the wig was taken off. And “3 plaine new night capps coarse and 30 Fine Peaked night capps and 2 Night Periwiggs.” His toilet equipment included “12 Tortus shell Agendas, 2 gold Picktooths, Hair Powder, 2 Paires new Barbing Larmes, Sizars, and 3 Head-rubbers.” And there were “Musks for Powder, Cipros Powder, and a Puffe.” For emergencies there were a “Black Leather needle case with a great gold Bodkin, Papers of Finns. Blew Thread. Shirt Buttons, and old White Bound Buttons, Cap-strings and Tape.” In the interests of health “3 papers about Phisick” and “Sir R. Hastings’ piaster for a straine” were taken, but “rose water, rose riniger and elder viniger” were perforce left behind, though considered most necessary for his comfort for the winter.

Of precious possessions subjected to > the risks of travel there were a few rings “whereof one hath 3 Diamonds like harts,” two silver rings of the boy’s and Bundle*’ of Mary’s hair. He took to Florence as a gift torn friend

Brushes and Boxes.” and in reply to the thanks he received for them said, “These are such inconsiderable Toyes that I must intreate you to speake no more of them,”—Chicago News.

The politeness ©f children is only skin deep. One cannot help sympathizing with the little London girl who said sleepily to her hostess a t a party she had not been old enough to enjoy. “Please, will you tell me which is the lady what’s giving this party, ’cause I promised mummy to say, •'Goodby, thank yon very much for the nice party,* and I can’t go home till Fve said it, and—and I do so w ant to get away from this horrible place!” But erne’s whole heart goes out to the fittSe boy who. having greatly enjoyed one small insufficient chocolate, was asked sharply, “Weil, Johnny, what do you sayT* “Mare,” answered Johnny.

It is the last term of progress, the last result of the groaning and travail of creation, the last stage of development, the last achievement of the evolution of life on the planet.It is the most complete victory yet won in the terrible struggle that has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years to elaborate organised beings- And as we are bound to accept it as good stuff on the whole, even after making allowance full and fair for its imperfections. it is good stuff.

Now and then a piece Of It got out of the quarry SO pure in quality that we are ready to think that it needs no refuting whatever.

The God-man seem to be such to those who accept them. The gentle Buddha taught that every act has endless results, and takes hold upon the forever. What we now are and now experience is the fruit of what wwhave been and what we shaft he depends upon what we do or refrain from doing sag. The present condition of each is the written record, the cumulative result of his own past.

It was mv privilege some years ago to be able to aid a widow with five young children, of whose need t had read in a daily paper. Her husband bad takf a his owa life upon hearing from their physician that his wife was fatally ill; and she passed out of the physical body some ten months after my meeting her. After her passing, the children were adopted by parties having no children of their own, there being no relatives who could care for them.

Some three or four years later, while having a reading by a medium. to whose public seances I had been casually attracted the evening before, he mentioned some names of deceased relatives which he had received clairaudiently. and then gave me the name George. Shaking my hand heartily he said, "George wants me to shake your hands and to thank you so much for what you did for him." I was about to say I never had a friend named George, when the medium gave the mother's name, and then the names of the five young children in the order of their age. and added that George must have passed our vt the.' body by drowning or hanging, for ha felt a very strong sensation of choking when George came.

Then I knew who George was, for it came hack to my that that I had many times heard the widow speak of her husband, George, and of the strong affection they had for each other, which was indeed the cause of the unhappy man seek- the head, nor the reflex action of s ing relief by drowning from the tW heart beat, grief he felt at her approaching Generally these sounds will act in death. conformity with my desire mentally -
