The Boston Herald tells how "Dr." Slade,
whose "wonderful' performances have been
q leading attraction at Lake Pleasant for sew
erRl years, was shown up at Weston, W. Va. :
SHADES room was next to the room Of A
A. Lewis, the floor of which is several inches
lower than that of SHADES. There is a door
between the two rooms aud under the door,
considerable vacancy. 1t occurred TO some
Of the Investigators that II, as they suspected,
Slade alade the physical manifestations by
pbysioaf fpeans, he could be detected by
watching upder the door above mentioned.
Accordingly TO convince themselves. a new
subject Tor a citing was sent in. after the
watchers had been posted st the door, and the
usual phenomena occurred. Al the same
time the watchers were rewarded with com-
plete expose OF the great ~ mediums won
derful powers.
"Slade possesses a remarkably agile foot,
and while the attention OF the visitsc- was di-
rected to the top of the table he a6sf'Seiy
moved his foot around under the table, and
by working bis foot in between the runRs Of
q chair would lift it up, or cause it to move
two or three feet one way or the other across
the room. He would take the slate in his
foot, or between his toes somehow, and cause
it to appear at the edge of the table opposite
into the lap of the investigator. He was seen
to place the slate on his knee under the table,
while apparently waiting the coming of the
spirits, aud wrote with his own hands the
message said to have come from the depart
ed, and, strange to relate, at the same time
would be talking in disconnected way on
various subjects, apparently to distract atten.
tion from his work.
During all these manifestations Slade was
tWitching and comforting, as il undergoing
the most extreme agony. One after another
of the Investigators went to the room of Mr..
Lewis, and looking under the door, saw plain
ly and clearly the trickery of the world re-.
nowned.' This plan Of operation was begun
Sunday afternoon and continued until Mon
day evening, when sufficient evidence had
been procured to justify the arrest of the
parties on a charge of procuring money un.

with civility (our francs have soothing in.

DRIVE WHIST" is the popular craze in the
east this season. Any numb Of tables may
be brought into the game. One hand is
played, aud then the losing couple changes
table, advancing 10 rotation, as in progressive
euchTe, only in drive whist the same partner
is kept throughout the evening. To play
drive whist, the host ar hostess must procure
score cards In sufficient number to provide
each couple with one. These score cards are
made like dancing programmes, TO be fastened
by cord, and give space at the top for the
lady's name and address, and opposite the
gentlemsn's name whose partner she is. Be-
low, the card is ruled in spaces so that there
is one column for points won, and another
for points lost, with third for the number
of your opponents. The manner of choosing
partners for the evening is left to the host
ess, and either of different ways may be
adopted. One is TO write the ladies' names
on the score cRrds, Que name on each, and
then let the gentlemen draw one card each.
The cards are dealt and one hand is played.
At the end one couple at each table has won
a number of points, and the other couple has
lost. The gentlemen then make record,
each on his own card, Of the points won or
lost, with the number Of the other couple.
The losing couples at the tables then change
places, each going to the next table. Anoth-
or hand is dealt and played, another record
made, another change of positions follows,
and the game goes on. At the close of the
game. when the number of hands previously
decided upon has been played, each couple
adds together all the points won and all lost,
and then determine the difference. The cou.
pie that has won the greatest number OF
points is entitled TO the head prize, and then
the couple that has lost the greatest number
of points gets the foot prize. The prizes are
provided by the host or hostess. The score
cards are given TO the ladies at the compile
ton of the game.

Childless, missed not children Of my own,-

And called thee mine, and taught thee sounds An'

And solvedAhe riddle Of thy murmurings,
And stopped to catch thee creeping on the ground,

Ready, n drowsy were those little eyes,
To rock them with lullaby to sleep.

Who was old aud sad and poor.
Once l saw you turn away,
With a cold and frctful nay,
When your little brother came
Begging for some childish game.
Once l saw you sit at ease,
With book upon your kneeH,
while your mother-patient saint
Did your work without complaint.
Alb my pretty Valentine,
Ere / ask you TO be mine,
must know that lovely face
shines with more than surface grace
That your captivating art
Does not hide n careless heart
Lest when tresses brown grow white,
Eyes get dim which now are bright,
Age aud trouble come apace,
Stealing beauty from your face,
should bitterly repne
Choosing you my Valentine.

At Baltimore men were glad to be hired
at eighteen pence day. None, by the
month, asked more than SO. At Fred

A Queer Historical Disease

According to the medical man who
writes in the British Chinese Consular
reports, near Changehow, there is
form of hysterical disease or mania
among adult males. The patient ac-
quires the impression that his abdomen
is inhabited by some animal, often
rat, whose excursions cause violent To-
cal pains. Unheard-of efforts are made
to expel the intruder, and often the saw
ings of whole family for lifetime
are wasted on BONES, sorcerers, doctors
and other quacks in hope of obtaining
relief for the sufferer. 1t is reported
that in many cases death occurs from
suffocation in the course of violent
convulsive paroxism. The patient leads
double life, marked by the use of two
voices of different timbres As rule
his disposition alters In correspondence
with the change of voice. Morally and
mentally he is different being in the
two states. Whatever occurs during
the period betokened by the unnatural
voice is totally forgotten durngthe nor
