De,sobt. of a Rose Scent lar

Gather the rose petals IN the morning. let

for one hour to dry of, then put them in lay

large covered dish--a glass berry dish is q

for several mornings til you have enough
stock-from one pint to q quart, according 10
the size OF the jaT-stir every morning and
let the whole stand for ten days Then trans
fer it TO glass fruit jar, in the bottom Of
which you have placed two ounces OF allspice,
coarsely ground, and as much stick CHINA

for six weeks, closely covered, when II Is

Have ready one ounce each Of cloves, all

shredded, two ounces Of lavender flowers s1d
a small quantity Of any other sweet scented
dried flowers or herbs; mix together and put
into the jar in alternate layers with the rose

An Extraordinary Mental Power.

! know of a case where the person who
recognized evidence of a power Of infiu-
encing another's mind through some SYM
pathetic action, was most unwilling to be
convinced. He was doctor and opposed to
all belief in faith cures, and to all which
seemed to favor the doctrine that mind can
influence mind He had conceived also
strong feeling OF personal dislike for the
thought reader-an American of some celeb
rity or notoriety, will not say which He
offered himself as q subject believing
that the exhibition was chiefly humbug, the
other subjects" mostly confederates. He
mentally located a ''pain"-that is, he
thought of pain-in a particular nerve,
To his surprise the thought reader began to
pass his hand over his the exhibitors
right jaw, and presently marked with his
finger the precise course of the nerve along
which the doctor had imagined the pain TO
extend.
We see in such experiments an inchoate
form of the power which seems in some
cases TO have been possessed by persons I'M
der strong mental emotion, Of influencing
others at a distance l do not know how
the evidence can be rejected showing that
on certain occasions such power has been
exerted-usually without any conscious
effort 1t seems much more incautious to
reject the evidence than to admit the ex-
istence of such a power-not, however, as
something supernatural, nor even IS pre-
ternatural or extra natural, but simply as
quality not vet explained or understood, and
recognized, as it seems to merit, special in
yestigation.-Richard A. Proctor in Boston

suPEEsTlTIoNs OF THE STAGE.
The Opinion of London Professionals on
Omens and the Like.

The Opinion of London Professionals on
Omens and the Like.
Mr. Toole, the comedian, being interviewed
on the subject, says that although not in
tersely superstitious himself, he still believes
in ghosts-not the ordinary ghosts, however,
but one that walks every week-on pay day.
As for omens. he confesses that when he
passes the theatre at Z so and sees crowd CT
people right across the street waiting for the
doors to open, he usually considers the omen
good
. Mr.. Edward Terry, another popular
London actor, is very fond OF Friday. He
SAYS that his new pieces have invariably been
produced on that day, and that he usually
travels with company Of thirteen players.
The same boldness is a characteristic Of Mr..
Marius His opinions Of stage superstitions
are rs follows:
II would rather produce successful play
on a Friday than bad one on Saturday.
would rather receive e13 than e12 at any
time would rather sit down thirteen to a
good dinner than twelve to bad one. / do
not believe in unlucky theatres or unlucky
actors, but l believe In a good play, well
acted, drawing good houses, wherever it may
be. If there is one superstition have it is
to get the best OF everything at the cheapest
rate
On the other hand, Mrs. Bernard-Beere
confesses that she is exceedingly superstitious.
Miss MiIlward is even more 50 and Miss
Fanny Leslie, the burlesque actress, consid-
ers it unlucky to place an umbrella on the
prompt table, and also TO drop the play part
during rehearsal Black cats she believes are
very lucky, but she will never sign con-
tract on Friday Miss Lefty Lind has also
some strong opinions on the same subject.
81 am peculiar enough" says Miss Lind, ito
believe the number thirteen to be very lucky.
1t was the number Of my dressing room at
the Gaiety theatre when a London audience
was kind to me for the first time. On my
return to that theatre l shall ask to be
allowed to have the same room. At one
time | went to see q manager and met a
woman with an evil eye, or rather a cross
eyed women. l walked deliberately home
again, knowing that the manager in ques-
ton would not believe in me. White flowers,
| believe, are very unfortunate Go under a
Lad Ter will not. And l have found that if
l happen to meet any one on the stairs when
| am going ON for dance don't get an en-
CORE
From these few examples it may be seen
that the English actors and actresses, though
not quite SO superstitious as their French
brothers and sisters, are yet not wholly free
from the same influences. Philadelphia
