Table, once upon time injected into his

Table" once upon time injected into his
pleasant talk startling question like this:
"You strike man on the head with Il
club, and he is unconscious or dead for a
minute. Where was tho mind or soul for
that minute Strike man harder blow.
and he never revives. Where does the
soul go Hhcns'' this is the substance of the
question by DIR, Holmes. Will the ex-
perience of Mr.. Schrack enable him and
other keen analysts to come nearer to a
satisfactory answer to all such questions: :
When Mr.. Schrack lost the sense of be-
ing on his sick bed he did not become nm
conscious. There was. he says. an unin-
terrupted line of consciousness. his indi-
viduality simply experiencing an instanta-
neous transfer 10 other surroundings. One
instant he felt that his friends were lifting
him-the next he saw. what? Let him tell
the story in his own words,
IL found myself in another land. The
vision l looked upon was the most beauti-
full that man ever saw. 1t would be i'm
possible for me to give description that
would do it justice. My first feeling was
that of falling down great height. and
then l found myself in valley. l walked
along until came to a terrible. dark. black
river, at sight Of which l shud(lered and
feared. Before me and beyond the river
was black cloud. Others were walking
over the river, and although dreaded 1t.
urged me on, and felt that
had to 90 with the others. As got near
er to the black cloud it became bright and
and expanding it opened and
the most beautiful sight. The
first l saw was jesus. saw a great tenn
pie and great throne. l saw my little
boy. who was drowned two years ago. and
my other dear child. saw my dead wife
bU. could not touch them. l saw people
whom l had almost forgotten. saw my
old gray haired grandfather. who died
when was but ? years old. There were
many whom looked tor, but J. did not
see them.
''Ihen the vision began rece'ling; and
never can describe the terrible disap-
pointment felt when found myselfag,in
in bed. l felt, indeed. grieved. 1t was II
o'clock when 1 regained consciousness.
and at ohce felt as though my life had
been renewed. was new man. had
not then, nor have now, an ache or a
pain. My eyesight, my hearing, and my
speech had fully returned. and teel now
IS well as ever did in my life.''
Explain this rs the learned men may
call it a glimpse of the world beyond. Or Il
dream or 4 vision, or what they will. there
remains the strange features OF the case to
attract attention and invite study.

HAVE MIRACLES CONE AGAIN:
A Sensational story from Nauch
Chunk.

MAucH CHUNK, Pa, Feb. 2.-The good
Catholics OF this section of the country are
thoroughly excited over miracle that is
alleged to have been wrought upon the
person of Miss Amelia Greth, Il lady about
36 years of age, an intelligent and deyout
church woman, by Father Heinan, the
parish priest at Maucll Chunk. Miss Greth
has been III a long time with consumption,
attended by violent hemorrhages of the
lungs. A short while ago Il lady friend of
the invalid died, and Miss Greth avOwed
that the spirit Of the former appeared to
her with the interesting information that
she was eaptiating her sins in purgatory.
Miss Greth thereupOn avowed her willing
ness to suffer any penance by which her
deceased friend might be relieved. The
spirit then told her that she should die at
O'Clock this Saturday morning, and one
hour afterwarl Father Heinan would have
the power Of working the miracle Of he,
resurrection III the flesh. The prophec:
was fulfilled. according to the testimony of
apparently truthful. however credulous,
witnesses, in the withdrawal Of her soul
from the body at the appointed hour. Miss
Greth seemed inanimate. was unconscious.
andwas perfectly pOwerless physically.
While lying in this condition the body was
visited, and viewed by several thousand
people. who seemed perfectly satisfied
with the verify of her death. There was
most intense excitement meanwhile. and
the subject engaged the attention of the
whole community. At last the hour ex-
plred, and Father Heinan came forward.
and, in the presence of gocdly number
of witnesses, ard said, IL will now call
her." He then pronounced the Christian
name Of the deceased. ''Amelia." in a loud
voice. There was no response. He then
called second time. ''.Amelia," and still
there was no response, and no motion OF
the corpse. A third cali, Amelia was
then made, whcreupon she arose, to the
astonishment of the people, and pronounc-
ed herself perfectly well, She then dressed
herself without day, and WI, xed to church.
three-quarters Of mile away, at a rapid
gait, without assistance, but followed BY
hundreds Of spectators. She then attended
High Mass, celebrated by Father He;nan.
at which profound gratitude was returned
to Almighty God by the whole congrega-
tion in view of the wonderful miracle that
had been wrought in their midst.
Miss Greth, then returned home, and
seems to be as well as ever, and boldly an
nounces herself the subject Of a miracle.
She declines to say what happened to her.
self while her soul was out Of the body,
and doubtless will not do so unless ORDER
ed to do so by her spiritual adviser. Father
Heinan. who Is credited with being Il e di-
vine Instrument in the work, is good
priest, in good standing, greatly beloved
for his filth and works.
The affair created intense excitement,
and will be thoroughly Investigated by the
ecclesiastical authorities.

HOW INDIANS TRADE.
Their idea Of Weighing and Xcas.
uPiMg.

The Manitoba correspondent Of the New
York Eoening Post writes: ''Sometinics,
however, the trade does not 90 on 80
smoothly. When the stock of pemmican
and robes is small the Indians object tc
seeing their pile go for little parcel of
tea and sugar. The weighing-balance and
steelyartl are their especial object OF dis
IKE. Failing to comprehend the nature of
those machines, or how small quantity
OF one article may equal large quantity
of another. they PROFOUND conundrums
like this: For why you put on one side
tea or sugar, and on the other size little
bit OF iron? We don't see what medicine that
is; but, look here, put on one side of that
thing that swings a bag of pemmican, and
put on the other side blankets and tea and
sugar, and then, when the two sides stop
swinging, you take the pemmican and we
will take the blankets and tea; that will be
fair, for one side will he as large rs the
other.'
''This very luminous idea elicits univer-
sal satisfaction all around. Every Indian
of them all gr,nts his unqualified approval,
until the trader quietly observes: We'll,
let it be as you say. We will make the
balance swing level between the pemmican
and the blankets, but we will carry out the
idea still further. You will put your beaver
and marten skins on one side, will put
against them on the other my blankets,
and my gun and ball and powder; then
when both sides are level you will take the
ball and powder and blankets, and will
take the narten and the rest of the fine
furs" This unique proposition suddenly
illumines the mind of the ingenious Indian
on the question Of weighing-balances and
steelyards, and after some deliberation it is
firmly resolved to abide by the old plan of
letting the white trader decide the weight
himself in his own way; for it is clear that
the steelyard is very great medicine
which no brave man can understand, and
which can only be manipulated by white
medicine man.

Odds and Ends.

The New Haven Upion pertinen!ly asks:
What is the difference between fool and
u man who leaves his horse on the cross
walk? .
! The young mans mind now turns to-
ward hops, and they go to his head or his
heels. rs lie takes them in beer or ball
rooms.
| a Baltimore man was fooling with \ toy
pistol. the other day. and was so astonish-
ed when it went off and killed him that he
hasn't spoken word since.
a Mott Haven. n. V, lady put placard
''liar" on her boys breast and placed him
out on the front portico of her house to
break him of the habit of lying.
Serious defects in the construction of the
New York post Office have been discovered.
Large cracks in the walls. ceilings and
roof. cause considerable alarm among the
occupants Of the building.
Here is a note we received from delin-
1uent subscriber Few days ago: God
loves man when lie reff;ins from sin, the
devil loves man wien lie persists therein;
the world loves man when riches on him
flow, and you'd love me could pay you
what owe"
There are now thirty-six reigning soycr-
eigns in Christentlonl. OF these ten are
nominally Roman Catholics. twenty-four
Pro,estants. ans! two members of the
Greek Church. Thirty-two of TIE sover-
eigns are married. and have among them
ninety-iive children.
Tie only sure method of killing a town
is as follows: When new arrival comes
in town and is looking for location. tell
him the churches are no account. and the
ministers are no speakers whatever; enlarge
the vices of the oeople-especially the chill
drcn; tell him there is no enterprise to the
business portion of the community, and.
when you have anything to sell or p,,r-
chase. you go to the adjacent towns, and
thus deprive the merchants Of the benefit
they otherwise would derive from your pat
ronage. Follow the above rules carefully,
and you will soon have the satisfaction of
seeing the town ruined beyond redemption.
Another form of type-setting machine
has been contrived by II German inventor.
BY means Ofa lever. which is worked by
series ofnotes, something like piano, the
letters are raised ont of u box in which
they are kept. and placed in position fix
ed for them. BY employing very simple
mechanism. a second setting apparatus ear
be adjusted. and by means of this arrange
ment the sentence is twice set in Tie same
time. Tie machine is claimed to possess
the advantages over all Others of the sort,
OF uncomplicated construction. so that it is
not only easy to be worked. but performs
the setting in quick and correct manner.
From all that appears, however. in relation
to this machine. its efficiency is not likely
to come into serious rivalry with hand
composition.

The New Chorch Doctrine.

There's come sing lar doctrine, Sue,
Into our church to-day;
These GURUS words are what the new
Young preachers had to say:
That literal everlastin' nre
Was mostly in our eye;
That sinners dead, If they desire,
Can ;-ci another try; @
He dOaOted if warmer cline
Than this world could be proved;
The little snip-I fear some time
He'll get his doubts removed.
I've watched my duty, straigl: an true,
An tried to do 1t well; ~
Fart Of the time kept heaven In view,
An part steercd clear o. hell; 1f
D An now, half Of this work Is naught,
III must list to him,
An this 'ere devil have fought
Was only just a whim;
Vain are the dangers have braYed,
The sncrxnce they cost;
For what fun Is it to be saved
limo one else Is lostq
Just think! Suppose, when once view
The heaven I've toiled to win,
A lot Of unsaved sinners, too,
Comes walkin' grandly in!
An acts 10 home, same as IL they
Had read their titles clear.
An looks at me, rs II to say,
"We're glad to see You here!'
As If to say, "While you have BEN
So fast to toe the mark,
We waited ILL ]. rained, an then
Got tickets for the ark!''
Yet there would be some in that crowd
I'D rather like to see:
My hoy Jack-it must be allowed,
There was no worse than he!
I've always felt somewhat to blame,
In several different ways,
That he lay down on ihorns o. shame
To end his boyhood's days,
An I'D he willin' to endure,
Ifihat the Lord thought best,
A minutes quite hot temperature,
To clasp him to my breast.
Old Captain Barnes was evils son
With heterOdoxy crammed;
used to think he ID bs the onc
Ifanv one was damned;
Still, when saw a LOT o. poor,
That he had clothed and fed,
Cry desolately round his door
As soon as he was dead,
There came thought couldn't control,
That in some neutral land
I'D like to meet that scorched-up soul
An shake it by the hand.
Poor Jennie Willis, with a cry
Ofholeless, sad distress,
Sank sudden down, one night, to die
All IN her ballroom 6rcsss -. .s~.s %.
She had y precious little while
To pack mp an away;
She even let her sweet, good smile
Twas on the face next day;
Her sou! W ent of unc!o;hed by even
One stitch OF saving grace;
How could she hope to 90 TO heaven
An start from such place?
But once, when lay sick an weak,
She came, aa' begged to stay;
She kissed my faded, wrinklcd cheek
She sooihed my Jain :.way;
She brought me sweet bouquets Of flowers
As fresh as her young heart
Through many long an tedious hours
She played a Christian part;
An ere long will stand aroun'
The singin' saints among,
I'll try to take some water down.
To cool poor Jennie's tongue.
Blu: tears can never quench my creed,
Nor smooth Gods righteous frown.
Though all zee preachers learn to read
Their Bibles upside down,
! hold mine right side up with care
To shield my eyes from sin,
An coax the Lord, with daily prayer,
To call poor wanderers In;
But II the sinners WONT draw nigh. n
An take salvation = plan,
IN have to stand an see 'em try ~ e.
To dodge hell II they can.

The chief and almost only

As India is under Christian rule and China
