ONE VIEW OF THE BIBLE.

Theories Advanced by Eliot Coues, the
Eminent Naturalist and President of the
Guosiic TheosophicaI Society Crime
and Spirirnalism.
First-The New Testament is the holiest
ghost story and best account of the super
natural e1tant. Rightly read, the books
which compose that record of the divine
possibilities OF human nature, IS we'll as its
devilish foolishness in some respects, consti-
tutes. perhaps, the most instructive and
valuable treatise on psychic science in exist
ence. 1 wonder that it is not more generally
used as a manual or text book by our an
thropological societies and our societies for
psychical research. 1t is full of "white
magic" and contains most precious truths,
carefully veiled, like an occult teaching,
from the proclamation OF the vulgar. 1t is
badly translated from the Greek in many
places, and full of forgeries. But, making
due allowance for all these defects, it is q
mastery effort to set forth the fundamental
principles OF spiritualism and theosophv.
Its connection with the earlier Jewish
treatises on psychics is reasonable and
logical, and it is pity that both these i'm
portant works should be practically lett to
the priesthood instead of being expounded
by competent psychists. Scarcely n word
reaches the ears of the faithful conveying
its real significance, or indeed with any
Ineligible meaning. The New Testament
is unintelligible unless it be studied in
connection with the Hermetic. Gnostic and
other apocryphal writings of the first three
centuries after Christ, just as the writings
enormously ascribed to Moses are sealed
book to allbut students OF Jewish esoteri-
cism. How many Pittsburgers, for example,
know that the account in Genesis is
mutilated fragment of an earlier Chaldean
astrological story OF creation. or that our
traditions of Noah are derived from SINH
lar deluge tablet?
Second-1 believe that some of them do,

from the soil remains within ten .eet OF Tn
ground and that none of it rises above 30 feet;
therefore, it may be said, that the second
story is a safe place for sleeping room, the
third story a safer place and the fourth and
higher stories safest of all. Az eminent
physician of New York always advises
"high" living, explaining very quickly
that he means high from the ground.
But one-story cottages are demanded,
often BY the inexorable limit of cost, some
times because long timbers are not available
and sometimes because the owner declares
that his father lived in a one-story cottage
and the same is good enough tor him. The
last reason implies something vigorous and
admirable in the character of the father and
always suggests the reflection that if the
father were living in this progressive age
and the son had been the representative Of
the family in the past generation, the father
would not follow the example of the son.
The one-story cottage illustrating this ar
ticle has the one merit of being considered
pretty. Following will be found some
what detailed description OF it:
General Dimensions-Width, 81 feet; depth
including veranda. 81 feet 6 inches; height Of
story 9 feet

use of rugs.

LIKE GUARDIAN ANGELS,

The Spirits of the Dend Stay on Earth,
says Alexander Wilder, the Occuliist-
Edition of the Kndemr.
First-Miss Anna Maria Porter, sister of
the author OF ''Thaddeus Of Warsaw" and
Scottish Chiefs" relates that during her
residence IN Esher, in Surrey, England, an
old gentleman was in the habit of visiting
her house of evenings, reading the newspaper
and drinking a cup OF tea. One evening
she saw him enter as usual, and seat himself
at the table, but without speaking. She ad-
dressed some remark to him, but he made no
reply. After few seconds she saw him rise
and leave the room without uttering word.
Astonished and alarmed at this conduct, she
Immediately sent servant to his house to
make inquiries. The reply was brought
back that the old gentleman had expired
about an hour before. Prof. De Witte, of
the university at Halle, in Germany, was
preserved from deadly peril by the appari-
tion of himself in his own apartment. Pastor
Johann Frederick Oberlin, of Waldbach,
saw and conversed repeatedly with his de-
ceased vie.
Second-I doubt whether thev really leave
the earth. Human spirits do not part with
matter and material conditions by the change
called death, The nerxengeist, or lingham-
saniam still remains, and that is not quite
distinct from earthly matter. They follow
their ruling loves, and if these lead them 10
earth, or rather to esoteric manifestation,
then certainly they "come back" Some,
too, are protectors, ministering spirits, and
the like. Very generally we don't perceive,
much less see them; vet. all the same they
are about US and infowing into our affec-
tions and thoughts. When we are alone,
away from the presence and psychic aura of
others, they sometimes make their presence
felt. The objective manifest action, how
ever, though perhaps more convincing, is
inferior to the subjective, as the external
knowledge Of truth is lower than the intui-
tive. DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in his
his little work, 'The Guardian Angel" has
admirably set forth certain modes in which
spirits return, and he is right in his sugges-
tion that this corporesl vehicle of ours is an
omnibus with many passengers.
Third-This phrase is absurd. 1t is not
found or even applied in the New Testa-
ment. The resurrection or anasrasis can
only relate to what does die. Even Paul de-
clares that "hesh and blood doth not in
herit the kingdom of God" or have any
sort OF station in it. Jesus is recorded as
proving the resurrection, by the names of
the Hebrew patriarchs, declaring that God
is not God of the dead, but OF the living.
The body is but matter seized upon and put
to use, every moment wasting and being
supplied anew. That which is dust returns
thither, never getting into celestial or spirit
ual conditions. Man was man before ne
was invested with it, and will continue such,
perfect and entire, when he leaves mundane
conditions.

and that more frequently than is generally
supposed. hold the cardinal point of the
Spiritualists of the continuity of life beyond
the grave, and communication between
those spirits which are here in the flesh and
those which are there dsembodied. 90
even a step further. and think there are a
good many spirits of the dead that do not
get away from the earth-at least not very
far, or not very soon. A good deal of the
actual crime and vice Of the world is proba-
bly, due to the influence OF these earth-bound
spirits upon congenial natures here in the
flesh.
Third-No; I have no scintilla OF evil
dence in favor of such an opinion. Re-
specting the single case OF Jesus OF Nazareth
alleged to have occurred, 1 have no means
Of coming to any valid conclusion. All
nature seems to say "No" to any such un-
yerifable hypothesis.

might say that Bulwer's imagination
has suggested some remarkable flights in
''Zauoni," and it is strange story, but so
far as the connection with anything actual
or scientific is concerned, or so far as they
are to be regarded as contributing to our
knowledge, think the effect is wholly neg
ative. They do not contribute anything.
'Seraphita," by Balzac, attempts to
make connection between the natural and
supernatural on Swedenborgian basis, in
some beautiful descriptions in the book, but
as work of art the result is very unsatis-
factory. Balzac's genius is almost that of
Shakespeare in analysis OF the human char
acter-but it seems to have utterly failed
when he has come to deal with such topics
as relate to the supernatural or mans rela-
ton to the supernatural. I am inclined to
believe that Bulwer's works on the whole
are the best that we have.
In nv work published in 1883, entitled
"The Religious Sentiment in the Human
Mind," have endeavored to set forth con-

in future state, and in the continuity of
personal existence after death. 1 think
there is a scientific warrant for this belief,
and that the proofs for it are strong. 1t
must be said, however, that if we believe in
future lite. it is very hard to get rid OF
belief in prior existence of the soul, and
that, therefore, the doctrine of personal i'm
mortality entails very largely the doctrine
of metempsychosis, which is held by mill
ions of the human race to-day in the East.
If cannot be destroyed, 1 never could have

). This is the doctrine, and it is much harder
to overthrow it then superficial philosophers
of the present day seem to think. I am
firmly OF the opinion that we have a great
deal to learn from the East; and genuine
philosophy is not barbarous. 1t is much
more profound than we have any idea of,
and whatever may be the words and follies
of the preachers of theosophy and of the
kindred Eastern doctrines, it will be we'll
for US to turn with some humility and q
reverential spirit, or at least spirit open to
conviction to the results of the human
thought as manifest in those strange Oriental
nations OF which we know so little and from
which we can learn, am persuaded, so
much.

which you should keep carefully corked in
a bottle by your side, and when the varnish
is dry the fly is finished. When you can
tie a hackle you have acquired the rudi-
ments of the Hy-making art.
You may have wondered at the seeming
prolongation OF the gut indicated by 81 in
Fig. 2. The gut must be cut off at X, and,
when an ornamented hackle is wanted, o
piece of tinsel should be inserted before the
floss is wrapped on as indicated by H. This
tinsel is used for the tip of the tail of the
fy, and Is not necessary for tine plain
hackle, but it adds greatly to the beauty of
the fly, and very frequently enhances Its
value in practical use. Several turns of the
tinsel toward the bend Of the hook and back
again to x, where it is fastened by the
wrapping-silk, completes the operation.
To tie Palmer with a floss body, proceed
as you did with the hackle, always remem-
bering that the material you tie in last must
be wound on first. Wind on the floss to Y
in Fig. s; next the tinsel and then the
hackle in the spaces lett between tine spiral
coils of the tinsel. They are fastened with
two twines of the silk and the ends cut
off in the order mentioned. The head is
made as first directed. This will give you
fly with the hackle extending the entire
length of the body, broken by the silver
bands of tinsel. A particularly heavy
hackie can be made bv using two hackles
and tying as when one is used.
The great Thaddeus Norris, the anglers
famous monitor, very neatly describes the
necessity OF judiciously choosing an appro-
pirate hackle. He says: In choosing your
feathers the length OF the fbers should be in
proportion to the size of the hook, or rather
the length of its shank. The fibers of the
hackle, while they may reach the bottom of
the hook, should never extend much, if at
all, below it. :"
All you need to know, now that you have
learned this much. is what kind of fy you
want to tie, and you can make your wish a
reality. In the two plates of trout and bass
flies which accompany this article you will
find all the models needed for nse. Here
are some bass flies: No. l, the brandreth,
has gray wings. yellow mohair body with
gold tinsel, scarlet tail and yellow and red
hackle legs. No. 2, the silver doctor, has
yellow and red wings, silver tinsel and RED
silk body, golden tail and blue legs. No.
3, the academy, has wild turkey wings, pea
cock head body, and scarlet tail and brown
legs. No. 4, the Governor Alvord, is made
with bright brown and slate colored wings,
peacock body and red tail. The legs are of
brown hackie. No. 3, the white miller, has
white wings. white body and red tail. No.
6, the scarlet ibis, has red wings, red body
with gold tinsel and red tail and legs. No.
Z, the grizzly king, is made with gray and
red wings, green body, red tail and gray
legs.
Now suggestion as to your trout flies:
No. l is the black gnat. The wings and
body are black. When legs are used they
are made of black hackle. No. 2 is
the abbey, one of the most popu-
lar trout flies in use. The wings
are gray and the body is red with gold

forth from his pocket and in trice the bare
hook takes the form of life and lures the vic
tim from the pool Ali that is required are
patience, little instruction and the proper
materials. These are the implements that
are needed: A small hand vice, pair of
spring-pliers. a large darnlng needle, q
knit. and pair of scissors. These, with a
wallet or small tin box to keep the materials
in, constitute the first part of the outfit.
The requisite materials vary with the am
bition OF the angler and the kind of flies he
wants to make, The first thing that is
necessary to a beginner is an assortment of
hooks. For trout flies prefer the Sproat
hook, size from Nos. 8 to IA, depending on
the locality. For black bass my choice is
the Sproat hook, from Nos. 2 TO 30. They
should be unmounted, so to speak, for the
fy-tyer must snood his own hook as we'll as
fashion his fly. After the hooks come the
gut, wrlpping-silk, wax. dye-stuf, tlnsel,
floss, clubbing or herls, wings and hackles,
and some sheliac.
The hackle is the long, narrow feather
that comes from the cocks neck and body,
over the wings, and you will find clubbing
for the body everywhere. A bit OF fur or a
be carefully boarded as the necessity for
their use may come at any moment. In
dyeing your feathers, let me advise you to
consult your druggist
Having got together this collection, let us
first tie gingu hackle, one OF the simplest
as well as one of the most useful flies in the
anglers clip. The fly will be used as a
dropper. First, we will spread out the
materials on our workbench. They are
a medium-sized hook, say No. s, some wrap
ping-silk, floss silk, a gingu hackle, and a
short piece of gut which has first been
soaked in water.
Hold the hook in the position shown in il-
lustration No. l, in the jaws of the pin wise.
Then lay on the wrapping silk, which has
first been carefully waxed near the bend of
the hook, making four or five loose turns
around the shank of the hook. Lay the gut,
which has been slightly indented by the
teeth. on top of the shank, as shown in Fig.
2, wind it up tightly to the point X,
where bit of silk floss, tawny in hue and
six inches in length, must be fastened. Take
lew turns of the wrapping silk up to the
point Y in Fig. 8, following it with the
floss, which increases the body of the fly
that is to be.
Now, fasten the end of the floss at Y. and
tie the tip end of the hackle to the shank at
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-03-23

that point with three or four turns of the
wrapping silk. The under part of the
hackle should be uppermost. so that its back
will lie next to the hook when it is wound.
Fasten the spring-pliers to the butt of the
hackle to straighten it out by their weight
while the winding is in progress. Now,
wind the hackle around the hook, until the
work has reached the stage shown in Fig. 4.
With few turns of the wrapping silk,
which has not been cut since it was first
attached to the hook, the end of the hackle
is secured in place.
Having done this lay the wrapping-silk
q u in the shank of the hook and make
the loop q NJ. Then take three turns
with the slack (M) over the end Il u
toward the end of the hook. and, holding it
in place. draw in the slack L. ND and cut
it off, making an invisible Knot.
The fly is now nearly finished. 1t the
fibers of the hackle point in different
directions they can easily be s.raigntened
out with the darning needle. Now, touch

With n Joke on Crutches.
New York Press.l
John Chamberlin, the Washington cat
erer, has within two weeks broken ground
for his new hotel at Old Point Comfort, and
it is to be completed and opened in about a
year. He had come out OF the Hoffman House
with his face wreathed in smiles when met
him. His smiles were due to an encounter
he had inside with Colonel Bob Ingersoll.
81 presume you have heard what hap
pened to your old friend, Colonel Tom
Ochiltree?" inquired Chamberlin, gravely,
of the Colonel.
"Another accident?" asked Colonel In
gersoll, excitedly. "Oh, 1 hope not. That
would be too bad. But speak out, man.
What is it?''
"He's paralyzed in his left crutch," said
Chamberlin. Pretty bad, too"
The genial scoffer laughed until his rotund
sides shook, and within an hour had told 40
different acquaintances how Chamberlin
had sold him. The joke was so good that
John S. Wise, of Virginia, got bitten on it
twice in ten minutes, and thereupon de-
clared that if he heard Ochiltree was with
McGinty he would ask no more questions
about him.

The last modification suggested is the most

the appearance of it. For the two-story cot
tage the direction Of the roof ridge is changed
to run parallel with the greater width of plan.
(The large veranda makes an exception to this
rule in covering the one-story cottage) The
first floor plan is altered by making the hall one
foot wider, by closing the hall door to kitchen
and opening hall door to pantry. and by
building hall stairway feet inces wide. to
the second story. The stairway should start on
the dining room side of hall one foot to the rear
of the wide opening, and by twelve risers reach

risers reach the hallway above.
