The WONDERFUL Planehests.
[Freund's Weekly.l
49,

lIltula , NNchA1 l
In the year 1868 a gentleman named Kirby,
who is now living in Kansas City, invented a
contrivnnce which he called ~planchette.p It
was an ordinary board of walnut, shaped
like an easel and supported by four small
rollers. II was In size about as large as a
woman's Gainsborough hat
The planchette would be placed on a table
over a sheet Of Virginia white foolscap. A
man would be told to shut both of his eyes
and think Of something he held dear. His
fingers would rest ON the easel and he was to
forget all about them and about it. In a few
minutes he would be in a sort Of reverie- The
thoughts in his mind would gradually become
absorbed on one point. In another minute
the planchette would begin TO move mechan-
ically ON its rollers. And then, without any
apparent volition m his part, the pencil
which was held by the easel would slowly
trace over the f~ooiscap the name OF a rweet-
heart, or the date Of some engagement or
whatever thought was uppermost in his mind.
This revelation OF u latent power was
thought at first to be most surprising. But
after some 1000 planchettes had been sold
for 81 apiece it ceased TO be 50 much of a
wonder, and Mr.. Kirby retired in 1870 to the
west. At the same time the discussion to
which the planchette gave rise-for craze 1t
was-established two or three things. The
first was that some Compartments possessed
the electric force to a much greater extent
than Others The second was that, as a gem
eral rule, women were more largely en-
dowed with it than men The secret Of the
planchette was that tho electricity which the
mind could generate could be exercised
through the hands. The secret Of Miss
Hurst's @~inexplicable power" is that magnet
ism in a strong, robust but not intellectual
person may adhere in the hands themselves
and thus be used ~muscularly.

The Mexican is a courteous man. Ask
him a question and he Invariably gives you
the best answer at his command. He Is gem
orally willing to spend time and effort for
your accommodation. He is never en-
barrassed. The girl by the roadside never
bushes and never runs away. Look at a
Mexican gentleman and he is wont TO smile
and salute you. Ask him a question on the
street and he will shake hands with you on
parting. People whom you never saw before
and in all probability will never see again,
viii willingly show you through museums
and libraries, give you their time for an
hour. shake hands and bid you goodbye,
merely because you are a stranger, and dur
ing the whole time never ask you a personal
question
The Mexicans are slow. 1t is best not to
push them. and to avoid inpatient gestures;
you must wait, and it is wise to be patient.
There is no need in Mexico Of great variety
in clothing. The best is OF moderately thick
material in light colors. The Mexican
climate is warm in the sun, cool in the shade,
and chilly at nightfall There is no day in
the Mexican year when light flannel under
wear ought not to be worn.

And ! never will be a wife,
For the yoke mayn't always with roses be

But the years danced on, a flirting with

And the pretty maid often would sigh
For the something that never came INTO her
life, q.
And she couldn't keep happiness nigh
And the spring-time of life was wearing
away, -
While the summer was nearing apace.
And stin she would sigh for the something
unknown,
For the goal that was worthy the race
But 1t came one day In a great honest love,
And her heart didn't turn 1t away,
For a new world had opened Its portals to
her,
And her signs turned to singing. they say.
And she sang that no freedom Is ever com

For the heart where a love doesn't dwell;
As they only are free who can love and be
loved,
And the truest are freest as welll-
