The Wonderful Planchette.
Freund s Weekly


 In the year sos a gentleman named Kirby, who is now living in Kansas Ciiy invented contrivance which he called "planchette." It was an ordinary board oi walnut, shaped like an easel and sup. ported by four small rollers. It was in size about as large IS woman's Gains borough hat.
 The planchet,c would be placed on a table over sheet of Virginia white fools. cap 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 1t. h few minutes he would be in a sort of yeverie. The thoughts in his mind w.uld gradually become absorbed on one point in another minute the plancheue would be- gin to move mechanically on it's rollers. And then, without any apparent volition on his part, the pencil which was held by the easel would slowly trace over the foolsc cap the name of sweetheart, or the date of some engagement or whatever thought was uppermost in his mind.
 This revelation of latent power was thought at first ts be the most surprising. But after some 10000 planchettes had been sold for Sr piece it ceased to be so much of wonder, and MT. Kirby re- tired in 1870 to the west. At the same time the discussion to which the plan chetie gave rise-for craze n was-estab- lished two or three things. The first was that some temperaments possessed ,he electric force 10 ] much greater extent than others. The second vas that. as a general rule, women were more largely endowed with it than men. The secret of the planchette was tha, the electricity which the mind could generate could be exercised through the hands. The secre, of Miss Hurst's inexplicable power," is that magnetism in strong robust bu, not intellectual person may adhere in the hands themselves and thus be used mus. cularly.

Kate Field's Views.

Interview in Kansas City Journal.
 On the subject of voting she has most sensible views She disapproves of a gen. eral franchise, and believes that educa- tion will finally right matters, giving wo- men as well as men their proper place. Of the young people she had much to say. She noticed that the manners of the trav- cling American girl are bad, while she be- lieves their morals are exceptionally good She thinks that the work for the school teacher is without limit, and that through him and by him very much may be ac- complished.
 She then spoke of how she had been misrcpresented in the matter of women and their work, and that while believing heartily in women in journalism, where there was competency, she did not con- sider the average woman capable of ill., ing such positions.
 Journalism" said Miss Field, are- quires broader education than any other profession and should by rights entitle any one engaging in it to the first posi- ton in society. In Paris the journalist is the cock of the walk. Nov if a woman succeeds in it and rises to the emergency 1 say to her, stick to it and l glory in you fancy this woman question is go- ing to regulate itself A broad education will develop her into an individual who will attain just the rights she needs. A higher civilization certainly ought to come through her and by her. You ask me if there is money for her in newsra- per work, and answer you there is none for any one. know of few women in New York who receive as high as 5, 900 a year, but the average good salary is S35 to s4o a week. Even the men do well who earn Sioo week, and the cases are rare when one goes over that"
 A number of other topics were intro. duced and the lady discoursed on spirit ualism, which she declared inexplicable, although TO more wonderful than the telephone and the telegraph, and told some stories of preseniiments and fore bodings. She expects great light eventu- ally to come from Utah. When asked if she is republican, she said: q I am more. l am radical, but take no ipteres, what ever in parties. am a good deal like the woman who saw her husband and bear lighting. don't care which gets killed have no voice in the matter and 1 shan't be affected by the issue"
 Speaking of pleasant living places, she was enthusiastic concerning London.
 ]" If l was not SO thoroughly American, and if l was rich, should live in London. 1 consider il the city of the world New York will hold that position eventually, but London has it now.
 Miss Field is an indefatigable worker, and is untiring in her pursuit of Mormon knowledge. What she proposes to do is for the future to decide, but of this the public may res, assured-that this plucky woman with big brain has purpose in view whose unfolding will be of moment and importance.

IMMEDIATELY after the death of the
Regent of Siam in March, 1843, his re-
mains were inclosed in a vast urn of
costly material, several yards in height,
which was placed in large room open
ing upon the courtyard of his palace,
which stands on creek flowing into the
river that traverses the Capital. Bands
of native priests, relieving each other in
turn, kept repeating prayers night and
day in the death chamber, around which
were displayed all the orders and deco
rations worn by the dead man in his
lifetime. Twelve months after his death
the urn and its contents were carried in
state to kind of temple erected for the
purpose, where the cremation was per-
formed in the. presence. of thousands of
spectators, including the King himself
and his entire Court.

THE Delta metal, the new invention
which seems destined to make vigor-
GUS competition with steel in certain
uses, has been laid before the Polytechnic
Society at Berlin by M. Veltmeier. 1t is
composed of the usual ingredients of
brass with an admixture of iron, is OF
excellent color, polishes easily, and re-
sists oxydation far more effectively than
steel or iron. It's strength when wrought
or rolled (not, however, when cast) Is
greater than that of steel; it can be
hammered and soldered, but not welded,
melts at $50 Cent, but at 100000 Cent,
becomes very malleable, and admits OF
being cast. The price is somewhat
higher than that of superior quality OF
brass. 1t may, above all, be used to adj
vantage in the manufacture of articles
that are exposed to oxydation, and re-
quire great strength. Among others, it
is at present being chiefly used in the
construction of the small steamboats, in
tended for river navigation in the in
terror of Africa.

UNDER. the heading of 1.-THE Depart
ing Bang" the st. Louis Globe has a
humorous article, from which. we take
the following:
Since the memory of middle-aged man
the favorite style of deforming the femi-
nine countenance has been by means of
the bang. Exactly how the the bang
came into use, or how the name origi-
mated, can no longer, with any degree
of certainty, be told; though, since
Webster defines the word as mean
ing "to beat, to thump, to knock
about it has been supposed by some
that the women who were so treated
by their husbands, commonly wore their
hair disordered in front in token of their
misery; while others have conjectured
that it was cut off by the aforesaid hus-
band as a measure of convenience in or
der to secure better hold for the proper
administration of family discipline;
while others again have conjectured that
the women who first wore their hair thus
were cheered and encouraged in the
fashion by the tongues and finally by the
fists of their associates, and thus the
term banged" first applied to the
women themselves, came to be appro-
priately used as indicating their style OF
decoration.

LAST Sunday afternoon Mrs. Halford,
of Hebron, Nebraska, saw her three
year-old boy Juggling for dear life at
something in the back yard. Going to-
ward him, his mother was Mortified to
find that the little one had both hands
tightly grasped about the tail of a venom
GUS rattlesnake, just above the rattles,
whose furious rafting gave notice of the
reptiles anger. While the child was
pulling, the snake was unable to get in
position for striking with his fangs. In an
instant the frightened mother compre-
hended the deadly danger of her child,
and with a frantic scream that caused the
little one to drop his deadly plsything,
she caught him up and sprang away.
When released, the snake instantly
coiled himself to strike, but too late.
The boy fought and yelled so as to get
back to the snake again that his mother
was compelled to give him a severe
spanking.

THE famous Regent diamond originally
weighed 400 carats; but the cutting of it
as brilliant, which took two years la
Dor and cost $4,000, reduced it's size to
173 carats. This diamond, which is also
called the Pitt, was stolen from Golconda
and sold to the grandfather of the Earl
of Chatham, when Governor of Fort st.
George, in the East Indies, for 100000.
The French King purchased it for $780,
600, Mr.. Pitt reserving the fragments
taken off in the cutting; but its. value is
now estimated at double the price paid
for it. This jewel was pawned by Ma
poleon, made political bait by Talley-
rand to seduce Prussia, and was stolen
by robbers. who only returned it because
of the impossibility of disposing of it
without detection. A certain convict in
the French galleys for some time en-
joyed a high prominence among his
fellows as the man who had stolen the
Regent.
