1t Will Be useful.

The instantaneous photograph pro-
cess is now used in Paris, to take, with
out his knowing it, the portrait of any
suspicious looking person presenting
draft or check at the banks; and also
by means of clock-work to expose Sc
ries of sensitive plates for hours in sue
cession, so as to inform an absent en-
ployer how his clerks conducted them
selves-whether they attended to bust
ness, or smoked, lounged and went out :.
and to give an account of the children's
behavior when their mother or school
master shall leave them to themselves.
Its success will probably bring it into
general use. A jealous husband can go
to Chicago feeling assured that the tell
tale camera will give an account of the
way in which his wife spent her time.
1t will be very useful to wives who
spend the summer with the children in
the country, enabling them to know
how deeply Charles Augustus and
William Henry had occasion to regret
their absence and whether they really
did tread. in the lonely library until they
were sleepy and went to bed before 1O."

g Trancevoyance."

Some interesting scientific expert
ments demonstrating the truth OF the dis
puted phenomena of clairvoyance have
recently been made by DIR. G.. M. Beard,
of this city. The :" sensitive y was a
lady, the wife of a lecturer on mesmer-
ism. A first experiment failed, but. on
a second trial the lady, whose eyes were
covered with cotton and closely; ban
daged, was able to name accurately
cards drawn at random from pack and
held by the doctor upon her forehead.
She also read the title-page of volume
which the doctor took from his pocket.
Other experiments with coarse print
were equally successful, but she was un-
able to read fine print. gA6
DIR. Beard calls the faculty tranceyoy-
ance, and thinks that it may be devel-
oped to such degree that the person
gifted with it can read entire pages of
ordinary print held against the forehead.
The lady, describing her sensations
when in the trancevoyant state, saws that
an electric light seemed to be thrown
forward from the back of the brain up
on her forehead. Illuminating it and en-
abling her to see it distinctly. A further
study Of this curious power of reading
without eyes will no doubt be of great
value to the development OF the still
rudimentary science Of brain and nerve
action. Such experiments as those Of
DR.. Beard are heavy blows at the
theories of the materialists who claim
that all mental action is physical phe-
nomenon depending on the organs of
sensation. What power is it, will they
tell us, that reads coarse print when the
eyes are practically blindedp There
must be a faculty of perception in the
brain quite independent of the organs
of sight, which, under certain rare con-
ditions, comes into play. What is it
that sees without the aid of optic nerve or
retina? Here is question which opens
a wide and interesting field for .specula

Self.doctoring.

The desire to be sshis own doctor''
seems, like hope, to ttspring eternal in
the human breast" and often leads to
most disastrous consequences. Many q
man who, il his horse or COW Is sick,
sends at once for the veterinary practi-
toner, will run the risk of prescribing
for ailments of his own that are on the
face of them quite as serious and as
much in need Of professional treatment.
He will take the advice OF an ignorant
neighbor. as to what is ssgood for" an
illness. when he would laugh at the idea
of going to the same person for counsel
in any other business or concern what
ever. In the days of our grandmothers,
when the household materia medica con-
sisted of ssroots and YARDS" with few
simple drugs like epson salts, this do
mestic or sslay" prescribing was less
dangerous than in these days, when con-
centrated and powerful agents have be-
come so common and familiar. The
household remedies of the olden time
were rarely liable to do much harm,
oven If they did no good. The cure was
generally in reality left to nature, though
the 'sroots and YARDS" got the credit OF
it. But most of the drugs of our day are
not of this inert or negative character,
and the danger in their use by the igno-
rant is real and serious danger. The
most powerful medicines that unprofes-
sional people of former generation
ventured to fool with bore about the
same relation to those now in vogue that
gunpowder does to snitro-g lycerine; yet
Che latter are used even more reckiessly

Grecian Beauty.

Much has been said in praise of Gre
clan beauty, and the men are hand
some in every sense of the word; we
might well imagine them to have been
the models of Phidias and Praxiteles.
Their large eyes, black as jet, sparkle
with chances of fire, while the long silky
eye-lashes soften the expression and
give dreamy appearance of melan-
choly.. Their. teeth: are small, white,
and well set; . fine regular profile, a
pale-oliye complexion, and tall, elegant
figure realize an accomplished type of
distinction. As to the women, they
seem to have left physical perfection to
the men; some possess fine eyes and
hair, but as a rule they have bad figures,
and some defect in the face generally
spoils the good features. It is among
them, however, that the old Oriental
customs are most strictly preserved;
while the men are gradually undergoing
the process of civilization, they, in
moral point Of view, remain stationary,
and are just as they were fifty years ago.
1t may, indeed, be said that, with the
exception of Athens, the women pos
sess no individual existence, and count
as nothing in society; the men have re-
served every privilege for themselves,
leaving to their helpmates the care Of the
house and family. In the towns, where
servants are kept, they are of the poor
est class OF peasant, who know nothing,
and receive miserable wages. The
families are generally large seven or
eight little children demands mothers
constant attention. The morning be-
gins BY directing the work of each SER
want, repeating the. same thing a hum
.dred times, scolding, screaming. even
beating them, to be understood. In the
evening, when the children aresleeping,
if there remain some little time, the poor
wornout mother sits down to her spin
ning-wheel TO spin silk, to sew or knit,
or, II it be summertime, to look after
her silk-worms and, coeoons, happy if
she has not to do the work of her in
competent servants over again.

A Squaw's Patrinlony.

I IA suit has been brought in the United
S6tes Circuit Court at Pittsburgh. in
volving the title to q large amount of
property. Many readers will remem-
Der the case of Cuba out Quit, daugh-
ter of William Mowry, formerly of Pitts
burgh, which was tried about two years
ago, and in which the defendants were
successful. The recent suits similar in
nature, but varies in one important par
ticular.. In the Cub "a You Quit case the
plaintiffs failed to prove a legal mar
riage between the mother of the girl and
William Mowry, but in the present case,
instituted by a cousin of Cub-a-You-
Quit, it is claimed there will be no diff
Guilty on that score. The history of the
case is as follows: Alexander Addison
Mowry, brother of William Mowry,
settled in Saginaw Valley, Michigan, in
1874 or thefeabouts. That section of
the country vas then q Wilderness in
habited only by Indians and few white
traders. Addison Mowry. who was a
sort of hale-fellow-wen- met, followed
the general custom of the whites and
took to himself as wife O-GawBaish-

formal marriage ceremony performed
by Seth Willy, at that time Justice of
the Peace in East Saginaw. He died in
1852, leaving to survive him his Indian
widow and his and her daughter, Nancy,
or, in the Indian tongue, Waw-Se-Ge-
Zhe-Goquav. The plaintiffs in the
present suit, Nancy and her mother,
now come into court and demand that
those who have long occupied lands in
Pittsburgh of great value, once the
property OF Addison Mowry's father, be
elected and the property given to the
widow and her daughter as heirs of Adj
Olson Mowry. The attorneys in the case
include some of the ablest lawyers in
Pennsylvania and Michigan. The value
of the property in dispute is estimated
at from 5000, 600 to 100000.
