The Wonderful Seven.

Editor LIGHT.
We have done it; we have organized a
section TO all political parties that will
surely win. The wonderful sevens are
now before the public. Here is the
scheme. Each one of the seven name a
candidate, seven up is resorted TO as the
discussion, the winner names the candi-
date, seven drinks are taken at the ex-
pense Of the candidate named. ResOlu-
tiOns are made and carried, seven more
drinks on candidate, arguments follow,
result In favor OF candidate, seven more
drinks, resolved to wait on candidate
and acquaint him with the facts, seven
more drinks, must ride in hack, seven
more drinks. Bid goodnight to bar
tender, night caps, seven. Total due
bar by candidate Sl700, adjourned.

Can IMAGINATION KIN ?

This is perhaps, hardly the correct
form OF question that the British and
Colonial Druggist puts to itself In dis
cussing the death Of the young woman
at Hackney under circumstances IN
which certain insect powder largely
figured. As the powder appears, by DR..
Tidy's experiment, to be perfectly harm
less, the suggestion is not unnaturally
made that the deceased. who was pos
sibly OF an hysterical, highly imagin-
alive turn OF mind, took the powder in
the full belief that by Its means her
death might be accomplished. The
writer of the article in our contempt
rary, we think wrongly, brings forward
two remarkable instances Of what may
be regarded as practical jokes with mel
anchOly examinations. In the case of the
convict delivered up to the scientist for
the purpose OF psychological expert
ment (the man was strapped to table
and blindfolded, ostensibly to be bled to
death; a syphon containing water was
placed near his head and the fluid was
allowed to trickle audibly into vessel
below 1t, at the same time that trifing
scratch with q needle was inflicted for
the culprit's neck;it Is said that death
occurred at the end of six minutes), fear
must have played no inoonsiderable
share In the fatal result, and we do not
know whether all the vital organs were
in sound condition, though they were
presumably so. The old story of the case
OF a college porter Is also one In point.
The students entrapped him into room
at night, mock inquiry was held. ana
the punishment of death by decspitat!on
decreed for his want Of consideration to
the students. Ii is small wonder that

he desires TO be considered a candidate
