rived in England by the Lane route and that
he had found it very pleasant to see the trees
growing along the lane, and to hear the birds
singing in the branches.
THAT, too, was received by the Englishmen
in profound silence. When the affair was
over we went after our hats and coats, and l

the "fine ear of nature of some thousands of
her choicest melodies per day for the rest of

They have taken just much out os the
charm of the first hour of the dawn, when
with a whisper and a twitter fine as silk, the
waking birds salute the day. They have
robbed the evening of its brooding
melodies of vesper peace. They have
taken from the landscape the swift dart of

row that sounds so wofully, although dumb
to human ears, from brute creation, is a van

transformations Explained.


transformations Explained.
Taking the broad fact of mind and matter
having been adjudged separate entities or
states of being, the theosophists proceed to
build upon this stated fact. They claim that
while the body lies sleeping, or :ert through
trance, the soul, by which they mean the
mind, or win, Is capable of travelling to dis
tant places, noting the events, holding con-
verse, ere she, the soul, returns to her waiting
and unconscious body. A theosophist speaks
of his astral body" of its power to visit those
places which his soul, or mind, or will, has
previously determined upon visiting.
To mention the condition first theosophists
state that an .'auran surrounds them, not
only theosophists in particular, but all people.
Aura" is species of atmosphere, impreg-
mated with the electrical essences, animal
magnetism, or chemical gases that our bodies
are constantly discharging; this, encounter
ing the ordinary air, is not dispelled or dis
seminated, as might be naturally expected;
but, to call it human essence for the sake of
Illustration, this discharged human essence
gathers to itself a certain portion of the
ordinary air that surrounds us, which it
permeateS with our own desires and vitality
Therefore it will be seen that this laura" is
always with us, and ready for all emergencies
The way that transference is affected is that
a theosophist wishing to appear in distant
city or foreign land seeks seclusion, and then
bends the whole force of his mind upon the
desire to reach that place. Finally he either
falls asleep or succumbs to a self-induced
trance. During the sleep or trance the body
lends portion of its vitality, or more cor
rectly a certain portion of having been elected
by the will, the soul is enabled to clothe her.

Abyssinian Economic Productions,

Among the vegetable articles of diet Of the
Abyssinians, the first place is taken by teff, a
herbaceous plant, whose grains are as small
as pins head; the meal from this forms the
bread III general use. \ much inferior black
bread used by the poor is made from a kind
of millet called tucusso, frequenting the low
grounds In addition, the roasted seed of the
lax plant Is sometimes eaten, as il was by
the ancient Romans and Greeks Another
admired vegetable is the flower stalk of the
local plantain, called ensete, the fruit of which
Is unfit for eating. The stem is cooked with
milk and butter. II is cut Off just above the
rootlets, and about two feet high. If old the
green outer coat is peeled off till the white

turnip, with flavor like the best new bread

Almost everybody in Connecticut knows
the "leather man" Everything about him
is leather. His hat, coat, breeches and
travelling sack are made of coarse tanned
stuff which he has patched and sewed to-
gether himself. 1t is seldom that this eccen-
trio individual speaks a word. Year in and
year out he tramps about the state, obtaining
his food from the kind-hearted people along
the route. Always visiting the same houses
knocking at the kitchen door and pointing to
his mouth, his wants are supplied.
With almost no variation he makes his ap-
pearance at each place along his route once
in thirty-four days. On recent occasion a
woman shouted to him: "Come here and get
bowl of coffee" At once the quaint fellow
who is said TO understand no English tongue,
turned and followed her TO the kitchen door
where huge platter of meat, potatoes and
bread was put before him. Depositing on
the ground his huge gripsack of rough
leather. III which he carried his Ak
and other tools, he threw back his

spontaneous Combustion.

q FARMER near Chambersburg, Pa, recently
prepared some home made phosphate from
lime and chicken manure, which he left in a
heap upon his barn floor Some time after it
was discovered that peculiar smell, OF
some substance burning, was issuing from tho
narh- Upon investigation it was found that
lhe phosphate was mass of fire. The diff
ierent compositions of which it had been
made generated such great heat that spon-
taneous combustion was the result With
the aid OF others the farmer succeeded in
pitching the burning mass from the barn.

Have you noticed how some people enter a
car and where they sit! A lady will walk
past dozen vacant seats, often the entire
length of the car, then come back again and
take one OF the seats she has just passed, and
often after she is seated change to another
just exactly like the one she leaves; never ex-
actly decided at home or abroad.
The old traveller walks direct TO the best
seat in the car that is vacant, l. e., the one
nearest the center and on the shady side-not
because it rides easier, but it is safer in case
of any accident. The o. t. never passes va
can't seat If the car is in any way nearly full.
The small boy or his sister must get next
the window, and usually fattens his nose
against it if it IS not open, he being on his
knees on the seat-we mean the small boy on
a small journey. If the trip lengthens out
any he will get ali over the car before he gets
TO the end of the trip.
The backwoodsman viii take the first seat
inside the door, whether the car is crowded
or empty, and will put his entire family on
the one seat if he can squeeze them in between
the arm of the scat and the window Ii its
down in Kentucky or Tennessee they will
take off their hats and bonnets and make
themselves at home.
The colored brother or sister from down

raises the sash quickly, passes his body
through TO the waist and to people he has told
"good-by" he shouts again, "Goo-by, goo'-by;
give my love to Amt Mary; goo'-by; you
must write While the person yelled at is as
innocent of writing as a babe When the
train is on its way he sinks into seat, the
one where he is as good any; he stays
there, looks around with n smile of satisfac-
tion, is glad he is alive, and gladder of all he

the first time that his quaint figure has been

him. The instantaneous photographer has
