The Planchette.

There are some indications that the
mysterious little planchette board, like
roller skating, is coming into fashion
again. No adequate explanation of it
has ever been received. though many
have been offered. The construction is
as you see, plain. heart shaped cedar
board fixed upon two metal legs, to
which are adjr sted wheels that move
easily and lightly in all directions. At
the point of the heart hole is made,
and sort of round case is fixed 10
hold an ordinary pencil firmly. That
is all there is OF it.
Put pencil at the point, rs you see,
put two hands upon the board. as you
also see. After keeping the hands
lightly and quietly in their places few
minutes. planchette will often begin to
write. 1t usually scribbbles out yes
and no, and senseless gabble of one
sort or another, to which no import
ance must be attached. 1t is claimed
positively, however. that the board has
written intelligent answers to ques-
tions, which those holding their hands
upon it could not possibly be aware of.
1t may be. But, before believing this
is true, ask some questions and see for
yourself: 1t is enc of those cases in
which the word of no second person
must be taken. Above all, do not have
any superstitions about the thing, TAX
ing for granted that the writing is done
by spirits.
Planchette is merely a puzzle, to be
investigated as any other scientific sub
ject would be, on the same sort of evil
dence, and weighed by the same judg-
ment. Don't admit the element of
humbug and witchcraft and nonsense
and superstition into your soul. Thus
you will not be likely to lose your head.
even when amusing yourself with plan
Ghetto. 1t is a fascinating study in
psychological science, nothing more.
1t may be that there are powers and
forces in the human organization that
have hitherto been undeyeloped in all
but few exceptional cases. 1t may
be that we are on the verge of some
marvellous discoveries in mental science.
So much it is safe to admit.
The board writes best in the position
shown, with two hands, right and
left, upon it. What does the writing
nobody knows. The best authorities
have concluded that it is done uncon-
sciously by the person whose hands are
upon the board. A nervous fluid is
supposed to pass from the hands and
form a current that moves the board.
The explanation at best is 4 lame one.
But this much is certain; Planchette
writing as an entertainment can do no
harm as long as the experimenter does
not let go his common sense and put. u
superstitious faith in its revelations. -

The Grateful Dog.


Prof. Bouley. of Paris, gives this re-
markable Instance of memory in anil
mails: A watchdog, belonging to the
General Omnibus Company, named
Jupiter, was always spoken of as .
''ferocious" animal, its instincts and
habits being exceptionally savage and
sullen. Only one of the men in the
yard ever ventured within his reach
The dog one day got a kick from an
omnibus horse which broke its front

was too tight. and caused infamma-
ton, which threatened to turn to gam
CREME As it was suffering intense
pain it was taken to NJ. Yatel. veteri-
nary surgeon, and NJ. Bouley applied
an anasthetie of ether before it under
went an operation by NJ. Vatel. About
month afterward M. Bouley had oc-
casion to accompany NJ Vatel to the
omnibus establishment at Montrouge,
of which place he was the veterinary
surgeon. The moment Jupiter saw n.
Bouley he manifested the most demon
strative signs of pleasure. All present
were astonished when NJ. Bouley patted
his head. while the poor dog showed
unmistakable signs OF recognition and
sympathy. NJ. BOuley remarks that
the singular point in the affair was the
very short time in which he had been en-
rapport with the dog, the application
of the ether being effected in few
moments. The intensity of the pain at
the time, and the sudden relief, must
nave made the deepest impression on
the suffering animal, and We know that
the memory of such impressions is the
most vivid.

lev, s'suiiiced to fix in the brain of the
log the impression of my personality,
whether conveyed by sight or by scent;
and the association of ideas reproduced,

experienced on the relief of the severe
pain by the ausesthetic. = Leisure

The Yelled Mystery.

There is woman in the Treasury
who has attracted much attention on
account of the mystery surrounding
her. She has been in the department
for years, not less than ten-and
though she is marked by everybody, 1
have never met anybody who has seen
her face. 1t is the talk of the clerks
brought most in contact with her. She
is a woman of magnificent presence. a
tall, fine figure, and one of the most
perfect forms | have ever seen. Her
appearance is that of woman who
might possess remarkable beauty, but
she always has her face enVeloped in q
thick veil. In the Office or out, at
work or walking through the halls, the
veil is never removed, and the efforts
of the inquisitive fellow clerks to peep
under it are vain Many susceptible
young men, struck by her fine figure,
have quickened their step to catch up
with her in the halls, only to find her
face hid from sight No one can tell
whether she is old or young, but she is
probably not very either. The mo-
tive for concealing her features is not
known. Whether, like the Yelled
Prophet" she seeks to hide vision of
ugliness, or whether she has some other
reason. is a mere matter of conjecture,

A Convenient Scrap-Book.

Many a literary man and politician
keeps brains in his scrap-book. Charles
Reade was systematic scrap-book
keeper. George Augustus Sala has the
largest.and completest lot of scrap
books in the world. Many people,
however, have not the patience to clip,
paste. and index every good thing they
find in the papers A very convenient
scrap-book is paste-board box. nine
inches long, six and one-half broad,
and four deep. When you take the lid
off you see twenty-six compartments,
each lettered. Keep several of these
boxes. Label one biography" an
other "politics, another ''literature, %.
and so on. You cut cut an article on
"Grant." You fold it up and slip it In
the &C. department of your biography
box and it is all right. No pasting, no
trouble. When You want to throw
away clipping all you have to do is
to draw ont the slip. For busy people
this Is a capital arrangement. Rubber
bands should be kept on the boxes and
the boxes should be kept on desk or
