An Unhappy Sequel.

A nice little story, says the indianapolis
journal. recently appeared in the New Jersey
papers about "A man who returned from Cali
fornia and found his long lost daughter at work
in IA mental capacity. The man had amassed a
fortune, of course. as all men do who 90 to Cal
ifornia, and announced his intention of provid-
ing handsomely for his daughter. He at once
purchased a residence for her, and had deed
made out. 1t was a handsome residence, the
girl and all her friends were delighted, and the
story went far and wide. 1t was a touching
tale, and would have satisfied every one had it
ended right there; but it did not. There is a
sequel which is not half so pretty, but. sad to
say, far more true to nature. The father, who
had been so long separated from his beloved
daughter, bought, as has been said. a house. 1t
was inferred, of course, that he paid for it but
the narrative varies from the regulation pat
tern in not mentioning the fact that he laid
down the purchase money in gold. He did, in
fact, nothing of the kind. He was just about to
pay it over when'he happened to discover that
he was $50 short of the required amount. In
order to save the trouble of writing the check
he borrowed the sum of his daughter-it was
exactly the sum she had saved up-and went
down street. He has not yet returned and the
girl, being out of funds, has gone back to work
instead of moving into her new house as she
fondly expected. This story, which was per-
feet as it stood first, is fresh instance of the
folly of publishing seques. A sequel can sell
dom be made to fit on, and destroys the har-
mony and eternal fitness of things.

MI. A. Cary Smith of New York, in speaking
of modern Yacht building, compared with the
past. says the days of guessWork have gone bV.
Even very small boats are made from detailed
drawings, and they may be picked out at a
glance in crowded anchorage by their natty
and finished appearance. The cost of plans
cannot be an objection to their being ordered
as, compared to the amounts often required to
be paid in the Old way for alterations, it is Il
mere bagatele Many, or, in fact. all the i'm
provementS in yacht building can be placed to
the credit of The younger generation of yachts
men. eteranS OF the sport, on the contrary
have frequently stood shoulder to shoulder
against any departure from The time-honored
methods of the olden times, and too often de-
cried the universal right of judicious expert
ment. TO my mind, great Improvements in
yachts will be made in the next few wears
Even now yacht designing is being recognized
as profession. The tendency of the day is
toward >pecialties, and the result will be for
the better. The desire for extended cruises is
growing every day, and an improved type of
boat will, of necessity, be built Every yachts
man cannot afford to build and sail craft 100
feet on the water line, SO that smaller boats
of weather. 1t will not be long before our coast
is made a cruising ground for yachts even as
is the coast of England. The nation is fast
growing wealthy. and yachting will keep pace
with our prosperity. The size of yacht in
the near future will have but little to do with
the length of cruise. Two years ago, while
the fleet of the New York club was at the
eastward, the weather began to look dirty, and
Il signal was made to return to anchorage. One
of the boats that kept on to the last was only 26
feet & inches on the water line; but, of course,
she was deep craft, with weight on the keel
the only kind of boat that can be depended
upon in bad weather."

The Mind Cure.
THE LATEST BOSTON CUL

IHf4 LA tS 1SJSlON GULF.
The Mind Cure" is the latest Boston cult,
says New York Graphic Boston correspond
ent. There are three women who now pose
before the public as accomplished ''mind cur
ers.' and give lectures and instruction on the
subject in public halls or in paror meetings
AT recent meeting in house at the West End
there were present Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson,
Or. Bartol. Mrs Abby Morton Diaz, Mrs.
Maria S. Porter, DR.. Mary J. Stafford and two
or three others. Opinions were divided. The
mind curer' related many singular cures
which she claimed could be proved by investi-
CATION. which she invited. One instance was
to this effect: A young lady had been for many
years confirmed invalid, unable to walk. The
mind curcr' was admitted to her chamber
where She sat down and in her phraseoogy
''bore her on her mind" She soon perceived
She relates, that the invalid was suffering from
nervous fear. She sought the mother and in
qured if her daughter had ever experienced
any severe fright. The mother replied that she
had: that her long illness had resulted from
being chased and tossed by horned animal,
and that she was found senseless. and since
then had never been able to be about. In sleep
she dreamed of the terrible occurrence, and
when awake it haunted her thoughts. The
mind curer' now applied her mental power to
cradicating this impression on the mind of the
Invalid and to lntu>lng new power of hope and
iIlt. 1 ne 9iti Degdu 10 reel l1e lnNlSOfallnS
influence. Each day the mind physician came
and each day the girl grew stronger. Soon she
sat up, then she walked then she came to town
and visited the Foreign Exposition; and it is
claimed that she is to-day as well as any one.
The theory of the metaphysical cure is that
there is really no such thing AS disease; that it
is a deusion a warped and unbalanced mental
condition. Something of this power is more or
less universal. A lady in Boston who is en-
lowed with one of the most noble, generous
and helpful of natures, believes that she can
exercise this influence. Her experience as she
relates il is that the little son of her aundress
had epileptic fits that she put her hands on the
boy. talked to him long and kindly and said:
Now You are not going to have any more of
these; you must believe in me and | will cure
YOU" The attacks diminished, only one or two
appearing after that, and for weeks the child
has been entirely free from them. The mind
curers claim that an invalid or sufferer from
any cause could cure himself, We're he sutfi-
centiy. strong mentally The phenomenon
presents some interesting phases worthy of
scientific attention. There are more things in
heaven and earth, Horatio,'' etc.

United States and Canada reach grand total

increase of 5,6lS over the total number publish

over the total for 1873 was 1913. During the
past year the daies have increased from ,13S
