SECRETS OF MIND-READING.
Methods by which Bishop Was Able
To PerInrm HIa Eenfs.

II am surprised at the suddcnncss IF
Bishops death shock, said DR.. Charles
X. Mills, the neurological expert, to
Philadelphia Record reporter, in com
menting upon the mind-rcader's tragic
end. The feats which he performed
at the Lambs Club on Sunday were
probably rather the occasion than the
cause OF his death. Persons rarely die
directly after cataleptic fit; but the
great nervous overstrain coming 10
man already physically impaired was
bound to result somewhat seriously.
Bishop was probably of the hystcric
cataleptic or hysteric epileptic tempera-
ment, and was subject at intervals 10 at
lacks of this sort They are the results
of an abnormal nervous state, brought
about by the temporary refusal of the
highest levels of the brain to perform
their functions, at which time the per-
ceptive faculties are greatly strength
ened so that man can see, feel and
hear most acutcly, and can follow clews
which in an ordinary state would be en-
tirely lost upon him. This was largely
the secret Of Bishops power.
"The slightest pressure or touch of
the hand was instantly perceived and
Interpreted by him, and he could read
muscles as readily and act out their
suggestions as speedily as an ordinary
man could read a printed page. His
brain became intensified by his hysteric-
cataleptic tendencies, so that he was
able to do what seemed impossible His
powers, when in a cataleptic state, were
very similar ton somnambulist's. There
Is suspension of volition to the sleep
walker, yet he enjoys the keenest posi-
BILE use of his organs and performs acts
of daring which he could never under
take when in full possession of his
senses.
Bishop probably had the power OF
self-proiection into these mystic con-
ditions. He found himself able 10 pass
into hypnotic or mesmeric state more
easily than other persons, and by prac-
tice became able to make transition at
pleasure. But he tried 1t once too
often, and the excitement proved too
much for hims He was peculiarly
lacking in nerve force, and what was
regarded as wonderful power was
really weakness"

She Saved Mount vernon.

Americans refer In the most sentimental
manner TO WashiDgton's mother, yet only
few weeks since the land on which she
was buried was in danger OF being sold for
building purposes. Mount Vernon, with
Westinghouse home on IL, would have gone
in the same way II 1t had not been for the
efforts of Mrs. Harrison Grey Otis, of Bos-
ton, to save IL. Mrs. Otis name has not
once been referred to since the centennial
excitement began, although she was I'M
doubleday the leading spirit OF her day.
She was born just about century ago, her
father being one OF the old school Boston
merchants, named Boardman. When she
reached twenty years OF age she married
young Harrison Grey Otis, who belonged
to o well-known family.
Her father-in-law undertook to invest a
moderate fortune OF her own, but lost it,
and she was early left a widow, owning TO
the house she lived in on Mount Vernon
street. and trihing income In addition.
Here she lived until her death, which oc-

house was sustained the only "Salonn in

Public Dead Beats.

The men who borrow money from per-
sons in public life, without any intention of
paying Il back, is legion, was once talk
ing with James G. Blaine about this phase
of Washington life, when he remarked that,
in twenty years experience, he had never
but once had a loan paid back to him. His
estimation Of the man who paid him was
thereafter of the highest character. Dwight
Lawrence, the political sage of New York,
tells the story of a New York man who had
borrowed 800 from friend, to whom he
afterwards gave a check for the amount.
When the check was presented the holder
of Il was informed that the account was
only good for SIS. He scratched his head
for while, and then taking out SO from
his bocketbook, deliberately made a deposit
Of that amount TO the borrowers credit,
whereupon he got the 800 check paid. He
considered himself $40 ahead of the game.
The remarkable thing about It was that the
man who drew the check complained that
q shabby trick had been played upon him.
