The LONDON MATINEE. au fait
is it to attend the concert matinees at
Floral hall, St. James's and other West
End resorts indeed, a matinee is a
a charming invention for the aristo-
racy for sometimes an afternoon, even
in mid-season, hangs heavily, and then
it is pleasant often to meet old friends
without the necessity of appearing en-
grande tenue. The matinee is the
60 un-dress opera, socially speaking.
I verify believe that the matinee has
been the cause of a revolution in Eng
lish dress. Certain it is that nothing
could be more in taste than the bright,
cheerful, easy, apparently unstudied
costumes which, of an afternoon, you
see in the West End concert halls.
Especially observable is the costume of
the men, with their short, bobby coats,
their neat linen and diminutive neck
ties, their union of abandon and scru-
pulous neatness and fitness. The matt
nee is the place to resort to after lunch,
and the opera after dinner the matt
nee is sort of cosy, aggregate family
affair, and the opera full dress display.
POPULAR FALLACY AND DECEPTIoNs.-
It is an infrmity of man to cling to the
teachings of a past generation, and to
stUbbOrnly resist the lightof reform and
progress. Health-refOrm and temper
ance-growth are jealousy watched over
by the pOisiOn bitters compOunders
One great prevailing deception of the
present age, isthe impression that every
human biped of either sex must be
stimulated, and the poisoned chalice is
labeled Z" Medicated Bitters, the bet
ter to palliate their use and prolOng the
| epidemic. One of the most Jealous
workers to cure this malady, DR.. Joseph
Walker, inventor and proprietor of the
famed California Vinegar Bitters, be-
heves In making bitters that are 90 true
medicine" and advises the sick man to
swallow a draught that Will wash out
the leprosy of his disease. In this faith
he is steadfast, and his Vinegar Bitters,
though a contradiction to the general
| character of all other bitters, are, as
great success and life vitalizer, evidence
of one popular fallacy and corrected.
THE higher development of each civ
iIization is a self-criticism and along
with the condemnation of the past, neat
ly packed in siIken integument, lies a
promise of better things. But this di-
vine verdict, towering at the top of the
plant, can only wither by staying there;
it must be blown, or shaken, orplucked
thence and consigned to that earth which
we all despise so truly, the hearts and
heads of common men. There must it
find the soil and moisture, blood and
tears which bursts its rind and evolve
the God-head within.-HOratiO Green

METHOD IN WORK.-DO instantly
whatever is to be done ; take the hours
of reflection or recreation after business
and never before it. When a regiment
is undsr march, the rear is often thrown
into confusion because the front do not
move steadily and without interruption.
It is the same thing with business. If
that which is first in hand is not in
stantly, steadily and regularly dis
patched other things accumulate be-
hind, till affairs begin to press all at
once, and no human brain can stand the
confusion; pray, mind this, it is one of
your weak points, habit of mind it is
that is very apt to beset men of intellect
and talent, especially when their time is
not filed up regularly, but is left to
their own arrangement. But it is like
the ivy round the oak and ends by
limiting, if it does not destroy the
power of manly and necessary exertion.

What Farmers Should Not Do.

A farmer should never break up more
land than he can thoroughly cultivate;
haIf-tilled land is always growing poor
er, while well-tiIIed land is constantly
improving. A thrifty and prudent far
mer will not devote his sole attention to
the improvement of certain fields on his
farm, because the land is easy to work,
and let other portions of his premises
go uncultivated, and grow nothing but
brush, bogs, briars and stones. A far
mer should never have more cattle,
horses or other live stock than he can
keep in good order. An animal in good
order at the beginning of winter is al
ready half wintered. Nor should he let
his cattle endure the chilling storms of
winter in an open yard or field, while a
few shillings expended in providing
comfortable stables would amply repay
him in saving fodder and afford a grea-
ter quantity OF milk. A farmer should
never depend too much on his neighbor
produce on his own land. He should
not make it common practice to either
buy or beg fruit while he can plant
trees and cultivate them on his own
ground, nor annoy his neighbOr by bor-
rowing tools to work with, while he can
make or buy them. "The borrower is
a servant to the lender" A farmer
should never be so immersed in poIiti-
cal matters as to neglect doing his vari-
GUS kinds of work in due season, and to
tidy up matters and things for the win
ter nor should he be so inattentive to
politics as to remain ignorant of those
great questions of national and state
policy which will always agitate more
or less a free -EDch0nge.

We had the pleasure, on yesterday after
noon, of visit from Mr.. J r. Brown, of
Red Oak, Iowa, the young man endowed
with the wonderful power of seeing the
Invisible. In common with other citizens
we had heard of his presence in the city,
and of his claims to do many most re
markable things, as pertaining to an
ability to tell what persons, with whom
he came in contact, were thinking about,
but we gave the matter hardly a passing
thought, so constantly are humbugs of all
kinds pressed upon the public attention.
A personal examination, however, of
young Browns most extraordinary pow
ers convinced us that he is honest, and
fully able to do all that he claims; indeed,
his exhibitions are of such character as
to, in themselves, amount to an actual
and unmistakable demonst ton, leaving
no opportunity for doubt uncertainty,
showing his mental powers to be one of
| the most wonderful phenomena of this,
or, IN fact, so far as we are aware, any
other age, and destined to attract the pro
found attention of the scientific world
Among his exhibitions were the fol
lowing, which were repeated several
times, until every person present was
| thoroughly convinced that there was no
humbuggery in the matter: He directed
| a gentleman to think OF some object in a
distant part of the building, and taking
the gentleman's left hand, placed it upon
his own forehead, and, after number of
vacillating movements, started out through
the door of the room in which they were
With few deviations he traversed the
various passages, never tripping or stumb-
ling against chairs or tables, and going
through doorways without a bump
straight to the object. Again, number
of alphabetical letters were distributed in
different parts of the room, when he told
a gentleman to call to mind the town in
which he was born, then, being blindfold-
ed, he took hold of the persons hand, and
led him to the several letters, spelling the
name of the place Next he told one
present to think of friend in the city,
and where he lived, this being done, after
little hesitation, he pointed in the exact
direction. He also accomplished the still
more difficult task of telling what gen
tleman was thinking about, by taking
hold of the hand of third party station
ed between them, together with many
more exhibitions of his power equally as
wonderful.
MIR. Brown himself is not aware OF the
! cause Of the means producing these re-
suits. He says that when the subjects
hand is placed against his head, rays of
lambert light appear to emanate from all
sides of his brain, following, as he sup
poses, the thoughts of the other person.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1873-08-14

When an object is selected to be pointed,
out, the mind of the subject being directed
to it, an unusual line of light appears, ana
this he follows steadily, which always
leads him to the object. The size OF TINS
light varies with the size OF
the object. He states that up
to his sixth year he was unaware OF
his singular gift. At that period, when
playing with other children, he found
that contact with them produced IN him
peculiar sensations, sometimes pain; that
in dark room sparks Of what seemed
fire would fly from the ends of his fingers
if his hands were brought suddenly
together. His mother used frequently to
remark oddities about him, and often
spoke of them. Eight years ago he was
led to experiment by the accidental pas
sage of companions hand across his
forehead, resulting in apsychic sympathy
between their minds. Shortly after he
arrived at results similar to those detailed
in the trials aforementioned.
Mr. Brown is about twenty lone years OF
age, and of rather more than ordinary
general intelligence.-Chscago Journal

A Danbury Incident.

When woman puts three mackerel to
soak over night in dish-pan whose sides
are eight inches high, and leaves the pan
on stairway, she has accomplished her
mission and should go hence. This was
what Division-street woman did Friday
night: Filled the pan at the pump, and
then left it standing on the steps to the
stoop, while she went into the next house
to see how many buttons would be
required to 60 down the front Of redin-
cote And mighty important affair
that was 10 be sure And there was her
husband tearing through the house in
search of a handkerchief, and not find
ing it, of course And then he rushed
out into the yard, wondering where On
earth that woman could be, and started
down the steps without seeing the pan, or
even dreaming that anyone could be so
idiotic as to leave it there. Of course he
stepped on it; or, at least, that is the
supposition, as the neighbors who were
brought out by the crash that followed,
