pure and profound philosophers,
searching for high spiritual verities

the ignorance of the vulgar and the
lynx eyed hierarchs of the Inquisition

forms as sulphur, mercury and salt,

virgins milk, red bridegrooms, lily
brides, ruby lions, sol, luna, etc, only
to veil the lofty mysteries of man, of
the body and the soul, of conscience

the exaltation of the human mind and

the quaintness often, too, Of hand

A Bad Fright.

While riding in a Sixth avenue L
road train last evening | was more
than astonished at the appearance OF
the conductor His fase presented
that of man scarcely 80 years, yet
his neatly trimmed mustache and
hair were snowy white. Between
stations he told me his name was
Arthur Chalmers. Four years ago,
while in Baltimore, he attended flu
neral, the interment taking place in
the vaults of church which had not
been opened for years. The funeral
was the opportunity he longed for, as
he wanted to explore the place. Hav
ing provided himself with candle and
matches, he remained behind to ex-
plore. The door had been closed and
firmly fastened on the outside when
the mourners and friends had depart
ed, and he found himself a prisoner
The horrors of that night and next
day, when he was released, turned his
hair from jet black to its present
snowy whiteness. Even now, Con-
ductor Chalmers never likes to talk
about his experience. New York Star.

The Collection of Works ON Alchemy in n
St. Louis Library.

In this age of electrical develop
ment and mechanical progress-this
prosaic age, when the minds of men
are bent to the solution Of the practi-
cal problems Of daily life-it is re-
freshing to glance occasionally at the
embodied thought of three or four
centuries ago, when science was in its
infancy; astronomy was, as yet, but
astrology; chemistry was alchemy;
mechanical invention was black art
or magic; philosophy was dream and
vision; religion was, on the one hand,
autocratic dogma, and on the other,
unquestioning superstition. Such a
peep into the past is afforded by a col
lection of books recently placed by
Mr.. Henry Hitchcock in the Mercan
tile library 1t consists of 266 vol
umes of the works of the alchemists,
astrologers and other Hermetical phi
losophers of the Middle Ages, gathered
by Gen. Ethan A. Hitchcock while

his Remarks on Alchemy and the
Alchemists, and other kindred works.

An Editors Experience.

Maj. Sidney Herbert. a well-know1
journalist in agricultural circles, writes
April IS, 1889: Some five years ago / wrots
letter stating that Swift's Specific q
cured me of severe rheumatism. Since
that time have had no return of the rheu
matte troubles, although frequently ex
posed to theinfluences that produced former
attacks Several of my friends had sim
liar experience, and are firm IN their con.
vlctlon that S. S. S. brought permanent
cure. The searching power of this medi
cine is shown in the fact that it developed
a scrofulous faint that was conspicuous in
my blood over thirty years ago, and has re.
moved the last trace of it. / have also
tested S. s. 3. as tonic after a severe at.
tack of malarial fever, which kept me IN

that its curative and strengthening proper

dered figures straining to fasien them in
front Now the corset which opens in the
back expands the chest and draws the
shoulders oac< and gives a woman an erect
instead OF stopping carriage. That's why
actresses like such ones for boys parts, TO
assist IN catching the masculine walk and
pose. Mrs. Langtry has worn the one-piece
corset so long that she holds herself straight
always. Rose Eytiuge, as / said, wears the
same, and so does that healthy, wholesome
blonde, Helen Russell, who was J. NJ. Hills
leading lady in the Philip Hearne' Com
pany. If you ever looked at her, she
stands like a queen. Her figure is a good
deal like Mrs. Langtry's and make her
corsets on the same pattern. Ada Rehan
was measured for one-piece corset, but
she concluded it was too much trouble to
lace IL and went back t. the old pattern.
Eleanor Carey is particular about her
corsets, and always has satin ones made to
measure. There was sister Of Alice Cakes

laced trinity every moment of taeir waking
time. Women of leisure allow themselves
good deal of freedom mornings and in
doors. You would be surprised to know
how many dressy women never wear cor

New York has many interesting women,
and not the least among them is DR.. Helen
Densmore. Helen Densmore used to be
Helen Barnard, and under that name there
are many newspaper men who remember her
as tall, handsome woman, with a shapelv
head and a. profusion of yellow hair who
sat for years the only woman in the re-
porters' gallery of the Houe of Representa-
tives taking notes and writing letters as if
mainland clever man--were knocking
off the sentences. Helen Barnard was a
figure in the political and journalistic cir
cles of Washington. Lamar, Garfield, But
Ter and Jerry Black held many an animated
discussion with her. When a commission
was organized to look into the treatment of
emigrantS IN the Storage crossing the At
lantic, Butler went to President Grant and
had Mrs. Barnard appointed on it at the
same salary received by the men. The
gentlemen on that commission had fine
time at the Vienna exposition but saw few
emigrants. Helen Barnard put on an old
dress and sailed from Liverpool to New
York in the storage of the Inman line.
Unless she found the privations and abuse
of taat passage considerably less than did
when investigated the changes made in a
dozen or fifteen years, it is easy to believe
that de j OF earne ;tness went into her re-
port which was pronounced one of the
ablest state papers on file at Washington.
From journalism Helen Barnard went into
medicine and the same graceful woman
with firm set chin and decisive mouth is the
physician best known as successor to Bant-
ing in the cure of obesity. Dr. Densmore
eats only one meal and is personally strict

1t is not very often that woman gets
her life insured. Indeed it is only recently
that it has been possible for her to do so.
The mutual benefit societies which working
men have organized in such numbers have
been copied to some extent by working
women, and the growth of such orders as,
for instance, the D lighters of Pocanoatas,
among the shoe shop operatives of Massa-
chusetts has set the old line companies
thi king. Formerly nearly all these corn
panies refused female risks. Some O, them
do SO still, aud many of those which insure
women exact higher rates from the wife
than from the husband. This is always ac-
counted for on the ground of her special
dangers in collaborating, but after all stat
isticS 60 to show that the woman's expecta-
ton of life at any age is greater taan the
mans. Collaborating and unhealthful
clothing are not enough to Offset liquor,
tobacco and the accidsnts to which the
mans more active life exposes him. Some
companies are taking things into account
and are even employing women p lyscians
to examine womel applicants anu so pro-
mote an interest in insurance nong, them.
New York has one insurance company
which has been in existence some wears
whose president, secretary and incorpora-
tors are all women, and which finds its
business chiefly among self-supporting
women, most of whom have others depend
ent on their earnings. 1t is probable that
the issuance of endowment policies to women
will be quite large in the next few years.
