Just now in the affairs Of the English govern.
ment recalls good story to be heard ct
New York clubs. Lady Churchill. who was
one Of the brightest girls ever reared in
New York, was one Of the attractive fes-
lures at Q recent charity ball in London.
Her husband, hot-headed but generous was
one Of the fashionable throng.
While Lady Churchill was executing
some brilliant dash on the piano keys tall
young fellow With bangs, eyeglass and all
the rest of dudedoms paraphernalia, stood
near Lord Churchill In feminine lisp
the tall young man remarked for his lord
ships ears: "Deuced fine music, you know;
but it lacks the veal soul, it lacks the veal
soulr' Churchill gave him q half con-
temptuous glance. The tall young man
still dispersed his lisp. He had nothing
original to say, but his criticisms made up
for what they lacked in that direction BY
silly personality. he was in delightful
ignorance Of the identity of his listener, and
seemed amazed BY the spirit Of low praise
that finally few into bis ears sounding very
ike this: "For shilling I'd wallop the life
out of you here on the spot"
A soothing panseea to wounded feelings
came to the tall young man on the following
day, when card unexpectedly invited him
to the Churchill drawing-room. He wasn't
long in responding. Neither was he long
in departing. he got no further than the
hall A burly young man met him there.
1t was the same gentleman whom he favored
with bis hspings last night-Lord Randolph

The White Mountain Hammock Chair
differs from all other stationary or reclining
chairs in that it is better, stronger and simp-
Ter, is adapted to the house, lawn, porch or
camp, and is just chuck full of quiet COM
fort and blessed rest. Is far superior TO the
hammock in every way, and can be put up
so as to be always in the shade.
By its peculiar construction it is balanced
in all positions requiring no fastenings to
keep it in place. The foot-rest can be
quickly and easily adjusted to suit the short.
est or tallest persons. The seat is made OF
strong canvas, fitting perfectly the entire
length, without drawing the clothing tightly
around the body, thus making it much
cooler than hammock; while the annoy
ance of catching buttons, tearing down the
ladies hair, or in any way displaying the
limbs is avoided.

From the Ne,O York World.
WASHING ron, Nov. l4.-Dr. Elliott
| Cones, OF Washington, is well-known
scientific writer. He is the leading author
ity in this country upon the subject OF ma
tive birds. He was formerly a surgeon
in the army, and for many years has been
identified with the Smithsonian lnstitu-
tion as writer upon scientific subjects.
He is a handsome man Of the blonde type,
with blue ewes and regular features.
| The lower part OF his lace Is
buried in a tawny beard and long,
flowing mustaches. His blonde hair is
curly and cut short The doctor
is one of the best known men in Wash
lngton in army and scientific circles. Last
year he went to Europe. and while away
became a convert to, and, as he claimed,
an expert in theos0phy. He is to-day at
the head Of the Eastern Division of the
TheOsophical Society in this country. He
has now visiting him Baba Gahal

practices OF the high-class Hindoos has

in a very methOdcal fashion about mis-

Of reporter he SAID
II cannot tell you what theosophy is,
and worse than that, | cannot give you
the reasons for my secrecy. | am con-
sciOus that this must be very unsatisiac-
tory and seem silly, yet if you unders God
theOsophy you would appreciate my posi-
zion. | am pretty well known here as
scientist, sufficiently So trust, to relieve
me Of the suspicion Of being a humbug,
or vet quite a fool. / have devoted my
whole life to the study of science and
philosophy and in all my researches |
nave been sceptical to the extreme, never
accepting anything as true until | could
prove it bv scientific tests. / have made
a scientific study Of the soul and have alb
sOlutely proven its existence. l am not
at liberty to tell you anything about
theosOphy, but we know, absolutely. the
truths that Christians AXE on faith. Our
proof is purely scientific.
You ask me why this secrecy? There
are many reasons for it, but this alone is
enough. IL everybody knew what Mr.
Joshee and do, The social organism of
the world would be thrown into chaos.
The knowledge could be used for harm as
well as for good, and in the hands of bad
men would be a terrible weapon"
