ALLEGED PECULIAR METHODS.
A. }. Creigh Accused of a Fraudu-
lent Real Estate Transaction.


In the district court yesterday afternoon
Annie NJ. and Charles IL. Hegernger flied
papers commencing an action against Ben
nett d. Marks, to recover certain real es-
tate. In the complaint Annie Hegernger
states that on Sept. IL. 1886, she was the
owner of lot and the north half of lot 5,
block 2, Fisk's addition to Minneapolis;
that at this time A. j. Creigh, real estate
dealer, came to her and wanted to get the
lots to dispose of. She claims that he told
her he knew all about the land and that if
she could sell it for 81, $50 she had better
do so. On Creigh's representation the lots
were sold to Bennett ID. Marks, and Mrs.
Hegernger received for them 81, $50. At
the time the lots were sold there was on
them numerous improvements which made
the lots worth So. $50. These improve
mentS Mr. Creigh said nothing about, and
the plaintiffs aver that had they known
such improvements existed they never
would have sold the land. In the COM
plant il is charged that Mr.. Creigh sold
the land and buildings on it to Mr.. Marks
for So, 500 and put all the money over the
81. go III his own pocket. thus making HIM
profit of 81, 900. On going to hIr. Cregh
and asking him to make things right, the
defendants state that he refused to do So.
They ask, therefore, that the deed to the
property be declared null and void, and
that an order be made restoring the PROD
erty to them.

to any measure likely to rob them of the
bugaboo with which they have frightened
timid citizens for the past six months.
of course denounced the action, and pre-
sented interviews with tin-hOrn gamblers
in proof of the probability that the order
would not be enforced longer than week
or month. The wise-headS among the
gambling fraternity seem to regard the
movement as meaning that if gambling
is to be permitted by the
administration hereafter it must
be conducted upon a much more mod
est scale. 1t is likely that there are about
two hundred sO-called gamblers and ICON"
men in the city, and these have been or
dered to leave. Major" Pond, who is the
leader of the largest gang. is still in the
city, but the ugly mugs of his followers are
conspicuous by their absence from their
usual haunts. The gambling houses gener-
ally respected the order as meaning bust
ness. and have remained closed without ex-
ceDtOQ.

vhe Process of Thought rransference.

The Process of Thought Transference.
"As to the process by which thought
is transferred from one brain to another,
it IN impossible at present to determine.
The committee on thought transference
observe;
1T is q;lite open to surmise some sort
of analogy to the familiar phenomena of
the transmission and reception of vibra-
tory energy. A swinging pendulum sus-
pended from q solid support will throw
into synchronous vibration another pen
dulum attached to the same support, Il
the period or oscillation of the two be
the same; the medium of transmission
here being the solid material of the sup
port. One tuning fork or string in unison
with another will communicate its im-
pulses through the medium of the air.
Glowing particles of a gas, acting
through the luminiferous ether, can
throw into sympathetic vibration cool
molecules of the same substance at a
distance. A permanent magnet brought
into a room will throw any surrounding
iron into condition similar to its own;
and here the medium of Communication
is unknown. Similarly we may conceive,
if we please, with many modern philoso-
pliers, that for every thought there is a
corresponding motion of the brain, and
that this vibration of molecules of BRAIN
stuff may be communicated to an inter-
vening medium, and SO pass under GER
tain circumstances from one brain to
another, with corresponding stimuli
taneity of impressions no more than in
the case of the magnetic phenomena is
any Investigator bound to determine
the medium before inquiry into the fact

Easiest Recipe for q Novel.

Hearken to the ceaseless demand and
the perpetual prayer of an even unsatis-
fed and an always suffering humanity
How is book to answer the ceaseless
demand? Self-forgetfulness is of tbs
essence of enjoyment, and the author
who would confer pleasure must possess
the ar: or know the trick Of destroying
for the time the readers own personality.
Undoubtedly the easiest way of doing
this is by the creation of a host of rival
observation-disclosures the number and
popularity of novels. Whenever novel
list fails his book is said to flag; that is
the reader suddenly (as in skating) comes
bump down upon his own personality,
and curses the unskillful author. No lack
of characters and continual motion is the
easiest recipe for a novel, which like
beggar, should always be kept moving
on" Nobody knew this better than
Fielding, whose novels, like most good
ones, are full of inns.-Macmillan'

Topers Of the Seventeenth Century.


Most of the Saxon drinking cups were
made without foot or stand, so that they
must be emptied before they could be
set down again on the table. But these
seventeenth century topers required that
h man, after drinking, should turn up
his cup and make pearl with what was
left on his nail, (which if shed, and can
not make it stand on by reason there is too
much, must drink again for his penance."
This was drinking "supernagulum," or
as Fletcher phrases it, lad unguem."
Another proof of having tossed off his
cup like man was for the drinker to
turn it bottom upward, and, in ostenta-
ton of his dexterity, give it FLIP to
make it cry ting" After all these tip
pings man was held to be sober who
could put his finger into the flame of
the candle without playing hit I, miss l."

Cider Cure for Gout and Rh eumatism.
The bluegrass craze and the boiling
water remedy for dyspepsia are now sue
ceeded by the cider cure for govt and
and rheumatism, which, strange to say,
is receiving the sanction of some of the
best physicians in Europe. Cider must
in such cases be drank sweet, and cele-
brated chemist gives the following for
mula to prepare this cheap acid agree
able beverage: "Cider should be made of
good sound apples and then left to fer
ment in the barrel. When the fermen-
tation has almost ceased, it should be
racked off into smaller barrel by a
siphon Ga rubber tube) from the bung of
the first barrel into that of the second.
In this way your second barrel will
contain cider almost clear. Let it settle
for two or three days, bottle in cham
payne bottles, cork, wire or fasten the
cork with strings, and lay the bottles on
their side. If the cider is bottled too
soon, or before fermentation has almost
ceased, it will burst the bottles. If this is
likely to happen, stand them up again
for almost a month; then lay them down
again. In this way you will keep your
cider sweet for more than a year. 1t
will have plenty of fig in it, and makes
an excellent drink, particularly in sum-
mer."
The new cure has already many adj
herents, and a. beautiful resort is about
to be opened in Devonshire, one of the
loveliest counties in England, where the
treatment can be carried on under the
4 most advantageous circumstances. as is
the case with the celebrated grape-cul-
| ture establishments on the Rhine and
! Moselle. A correspondent in the London
Times claims that he has been cured of
rheumatism of long standing by the use
cider, and it would be well to try the ex-
pertinent in the midst of some of our or.
chards, situated in picturesque sites,
where the inyalids can pursue their rou-
tine of treatment to the best advantage.

Gardens of the Luxembourg

The magnifcence of the historic
palaces of France has been wonderfully
diminished of late years, and their ex-
tensive parks and gardens, now no
longer for the exclusive enjoyment of
those of royal station or aristocratic
birth, have been greatly curtailed. Il:
the gardens of the Luxembourg there
are now comparatively few relics of its
former grandeur, but among these is the
grotto of Marie de Medici, built some $50
years ago. 1t is broad basin, where
the ladies of the court were wont to go
and battle, and though everywhere sur
rounded by trees forms itself a sunny
space that seems hewn out of the forest,
the surrounding trees having formerly
been kept trimmed and clipped above.
The fountain and the highly ornamented
miniature temple or arcade, the costly
sculptures and the collections of rare
flowers, make up picture to delight the
senses, and almost imperceptibly lead
the imagination to coDjure up the APP
pearance of the brilliant throngs for
whose enjoyment such lavish expenditure

to form healthy, strong, valiant, glad

strength and endurance to render him
fit to undergo the hardships of
march and the work of the
camp and battlefield. Vanity and
empty swagger are restrained; chastity
