Many of the signs on the papers are we'll

the crosses of letters generally have "Sp1ritus
Sanctus' between the two crosses. and it is a
superstition that if so written and always car

Ran Away From Three Wives.

Artist Samuel ]. Cowley, from whose studio
$4,000 worth of diamonds were alleged to have
been stolen few days ago, has skipped out for
parts unknown. The much advertising Mr..
Cowley received resulted in bringing three Mrs
Cowleys to the front, each of whom claimed
the artist as her husband. One of the women,
the one whom he was living with at the time
of the diamond sensation, procured warrant
for his arrest for bigamy. Mr.. Cowley got
wind Of the trouble and ran away.

How to Enjoy n Cigarette.


From the London GIoDe.I
Cheap handmade cigarettes form delicious
smoke, particularly if while you are enjoying
them you let your mind dwell in pleasant
reverie upon their origin. To.one who knows,
this daily luxury of the cabman and waiter is
redolent of associations, for whence have been
gathered the materials? There is a three
volume novel in every cigarette What a
splendid exercise in imagination 1t is to figure
in ones mind who the smokers were who con-
tributed each cigar end, or the remains of a
cigarette, or the emptyiDgs Of a pipe for the
gamin to dry and frizzle till it was ready 10 be
a cigarette again. Youth, beauty, fashion, old
age, vice and virtue may all have smoked the
tobacco in its earlier form. 1t must be highly
pleasing to construct a group OF shadow
smokers for acquainrances.

down and become a physical wreck. Miss

By invitation of Mr.. Joseph Keagy, the
brother of the owner of the glass, went out to
the farm to test the glass myself At first, he
did not believe in the glass, but he says he has
had such wonderful experiences with it that
his faith in it now is as wonderful to an un-
believer as the virtues of the glass. Mr.. Curby
]. Smith, also of this city. made the third of
the party. Mr.. Keagy guards the glass with
great care, and keeps it in a silk handkerchief
and other wrappings, to prevent breaking It.
1t is piece of very heavy plate glass 6x8 inches
in size, Beneath it is a sheet OF white paper
containing words and symbols. On the glass is

in each point. Around the edges are more
signs and symbols. The glass with the paper
beneath is heavily framed in hard wood, be-
cause the white paper must be kept white and
free from air. Besides the stars and planet
signs, the following is on the glass:

A Marvellous Gift.

Only certain persons have the power to see
in the glass Those born on Christmas Day, or
Immediately after, it is claimed, see perfectly
in it. and to them the glass reveals its inmost
secrets. Those born on May l, also it is
claimed. have the wonderful sight The reason
for this is that Christmas and the 1st of May
always come on the same day of the week.
Those who are fortunate enough to see in the
glass say that it must be dark for perfect
effect. Those who have seen it say that the
glass at first looks dark, then grayish cloud
passes over it, which grows blue, and finally
breaks into bright light, like the sun from
behind a cloud. The light is so intense that it
almost burns the eye, but you must keep on
looking, and then the thing wished for is seen.
Mr.. John Keagy's sister-in-law is about the
only one of his immediate family who can see
in his glass. Mr.. Joseph Keagy went to visit
some time ago an old lady who lived at Mari
eta, Pa, and whom he did not know, but as
soon as she saw him she told him things he had
been doing, and described the finding of ore on
his place SO correctly that he was mystifed,
and when told by the lady that she learned it
by the aid of her Erdspiegel, the mystery was
explained,

History of the Efdspiesei.y

Mr.. Keagy secured his Erdspiegel some Is
years ago. 1t was made by famous old man
in Lancaster, Pa. The glass and paper were
brought to this locality and buried, according
to the rule, one year in the earth under some
crossroads. 1t must also, to obtain Its virtues,
be buried on Christmas night, between IL and
II o'clock, and unearthed one year later, on the
same date and hour. This Erdspiegel was
buried at the crossroads near McSherrystown,
but unfortunately it was not put in a box, and
when dug up it was found that the paper had
faded and the writing was gone. So the old
man wrote another paper. and the glass and
paper were framed and buried once more. AS
the glass alone must stay a year, it was un-
earthed after three months after the second
burial and tested, and found to be all right.
