A GUATEMALAN WIZARD.

What a Washington Lady Heard at q
Party Of strictly Practical People.
A gifted Washington lady who is very
much taken up with the various relig-
ious and scientific issues of the day has
a brother, n prominent politician, saysa
correspondent of the Now York Trib-
n who persistently urges upon her tho
necessity of going into society more and
getting more practical and material no.
tions in her head. The other night no
induced her to go with him to a recep-
ton.
Get away from your theosophical
books and pamphlets" said ne. Come
along and spend an evening with real
fiesh-and-blood people and get a little
good, worldly sense In your noddle."
The first person whom the brother
presented to his sister at the reception
was the distinguished Mexican dele
gate, General Enrique A.. Mercia.
After tho Introduction small-talk about
the weather and the p~leasurable features
of the occasion had been disposed of,
General Mercia was led to confess that
an occasional attack of govt was the one
disturber of his social enjoyment.
"You ought to try h faith cure, said
the lady.
Gen eral Mercia's eyes sparkled with
interest as he said:
81 should like to know something OF
this cure. ] am much Interested in such
subjects-Christian science, mind cure,
s~piritualism, and the new wisdom relig-
ion which you call-what Is 1t you call
him?"
"T~heosophyP" suggested the lady.
Eyes, yes. that is 1t; theosophy. I
have investigated that a little. Down
in Guatemala l heard of a wonderful
man, and l was anxious to see him.
After much effort, however, l found an
acquaintance who wa a trusted friend
of the seer and who gave me a letter of
introduction. Well, l made the long
n difficult journey to his mountain
home, and found the most marvellous
man I nave ever seen. He is ia years
of age, and Is living there in the mount
aims, more than nj hundred miles from
any city and over forty miles from the
nearest railroad line, with his fifth wife
and q daughter aged sixteen. l was
amazed when he showed me through his
cavern, for his dwelling place is in the
blu0 Oh b rOChy mOuHLhin. 1He BredD
rooms are lighted by electricity, yet
there are no wires, NJ dynamos, 40
lamps-none of the apparatus which We
use for electrical lighting. 1t was plain
ly the light of electricity, but where did
it come from? l asked hin how he pro-
cured it and he merely said: y know the
law by which it is DONE"
General Mercia told Of many marvel
Gus things this strange man said and
did. but the most wonderful of them
all was the sending of q message for mo
to my business agents hundreds of miles
away" said he, though there was no
telegraph"
1.-THE people of those parts, continued
Genera Mercia, 'say and believe that
the old man is a wizard. He simply says
he knows the law"
81 am glad you took me out among
flesh-and-blood people," said the lady to
her brother as they were going home;
o learns so many practical and ma.
terial things among such people,"

BOSSED BY BIDDY.
Singular Vioissitudes of n HenpecI
Connecticut Cat.

Singular vioissitudes of n Henpecked
Connecticut Cat.
At Stafford Springs a facetious and
determined old hen wanted to sit, but,
writes a New York Sun correspondent,
her owner took away her eggs; where
upon in querulous mood she quit her
nest and clustered about the home
stead, finding Il great deal Of fault with
life. While she was doing that the fam
lily cat discovered her artistically
wrought and rounded nest, curlod up in
1t, and deposited five kittens In 1t. Then
blddy came back, pitched into pussy,
fairly drove her off the nest, few in and
sat down on the kittens, evidently in
ferrinR they were a new kind of chick
ems she had Matched in a moment of
mental abstraction.
For a day or two the hen brooded
away, and the unhappy cat stalked about
the premises, Watching for an oppor-
tnnity to get back her own. At the end
of three days the hen had to quit the
old stand for food and water, and
promptly the cat slipped into the nest,
and, taking the kittens one by one by
the scruff Of the neck, transported them
All W u ulSJaHI part OF the haynoW.
Then came biddy home again, and when
she found the fledglings flown she raised
another noisy row all about the farm.
She looked allow and aloft, vainly for
awhile, for the missing brood, and final
ly found them ranged like pegs on a tel
egraph pole arm alongside the parent
cat. Again there was q battle, and
again the old cat had to flee from the
furious henpecking, but she took along
n kitten in her teeth, while the hen
held the field Of battle and four feline
spoils.
With the kitten in her teeth the cat
scaled a high scaffold and made for her
self a new home. with her one offspring
by her side, but the old hon is still en-
camped On the rest OF the kittens in the
new-made nest. She lays not neither
does she cackle, but it really looks as II
she was going to bring up the four kits
in spite of all drawbacks and setbacks.
The Stafford Springs man has watched
the proceedings impartially, but with
interest, and he fancies he Is proprietor
of the only case of cat and hen abduc-
ton and reabduction.

An Examination Which No One Afflicted

An Examination Which No One Afflicted
with CoIor-B Blindness Can Pass.
A large number of colored worsteds
are laid upon q table. The set includes
a variety of shades of rod, magenta,
purple, green and violet, and q few yell
low and blue samples, together with
grays, drabs and browns. A pale green
sample is placed on one side, and the
person to be tested is requested lay be-
side it all those which to his eye resem-
BILE 1T in color. II the subject is color
blind, the result is most interesting and
instructive. The ease and certainty
with which he makes his selections are
very striking. His color sense is evil

cording to his standards, az that of an
observer with normal vision, butit leads

worsteds which would be taken by a per-
son not color-blind are left untouched.
In their place he chooses grays and
drabs and browns and pieces of undyed
wool, and sometimes corn and straw
c~OlorS, with certain shades of magenta,
lake and reddish purple. With pale
magenta as II guide, the selections are
no less surprising to IL who witnesses
the test for the first time, but they are
also indicativeo of u definite system. The
results taken in connection with those
obtained with Il scarlet sample is pre-.
sented, afford the data from which the
type of color-blindness may be definitely
determined.-Prof. Edward l.. Nichols,

ization laws apply to the whole Union
alike and provide that nc alien may be
n~aturalized until after five years resi-
dence. Even after Ave years residence
and due naturalization the alien is not
allowed to vote unless the laws of the
State confer the privilege upon him.
In Minnesota he can vote four months
after landing IL he has Immediately de-
clared his intention under the United
States laws to become a citizen. The
conditions under and the manner in
which IN alien may be admitted TO be-
come a citizen of the United States are

bona fide. his intention to become a
citizen of the United States and to
%renounce forever all allegiance and
fidelity to any foreign prince or State,
and particularly to the one OF which he
may be at the time u citizen or subject.
II the alien has borne any hereditary
title or order of nobility he must re-
nounce the same at the time of his APP
plication. Any alien of the age of twon-
ty-one years and upward, who has been
in the armies of the United States and
has been honorably discharged there
from, may become a citizen on his petit
ton, without any previous declaration
of intention, provided that he has ro-
sided in the United States at least one
year previous to his application and is
of good moral character. (Residence Of
one year in a particular State is mot
requisite.) In regard to minors, any
alien under the age of twcnty-one years
who has resided in the United States
three years next preceding his arriving
at that age, and who has continued to
reside therein to the time of his appli.
cation may, after he arrives at the age
of twenty-one years, and after he has
resided five years within the United
States, including the three years of his
minority, be admitted as a citizen, but
he must make "a declaration on oath and
prove to the satisfaction of the court
that for two years next preceding it has
been his bona iide intention to become a
citizen. The children of persons that
have been duly naturaliled, being under
the age of twenty-pne years at the time
of the naturalization of their parents,
