CHIcAGo's claims to be the second city
in the Union are confirmed by the latest re-
turns of the census. The gain in population in
ten years was over half a million or more than
one hundred per cent. The chances are that
in 1900 Chicago. having annexed the small resi-
due of Illinois now beyond her borders, will
make bold stagger for first place. New York
will have to hustle to hold the lead.

wonderful stories OF Mammoth shell Fish
Told By n Dutch Historian.
From the New York Sun.l
The Holsters caught in the neighborhood Of
the East river islands are mostly OF small size,
but find ready market, and the men who
catch them find their occupation one which
pays them for their toll, though somewhat
poorly. The renowned Dutch historian. Van
DER Donk, speaks of HOLSTERS being very plenty
at New Amsterdam in his day, and says that
some Of these are very large, being from i've
to six feet in length"
Prof. Peter Kahn, who visited New York in
l74s seems TO have fallen a victim to the tales
imposed upon interviewers by the fishermen Of
all periods. for he gravely states that in the
days OF Dutch ascendancy no Holsters were to
be met with in these waters, and they were.
therefore, continually brought in great well
boats from New England" but on one occasion
boat "broke in pieces near Hell Gate, about
ten English miles from New York. and all the
Holsters in it got of. Since that time" he
adds with charming faith in the accuracy of
his information, they have so multiplied in
this part OF the sea that they are now caught in
the greatest abundance"

The humor OF Bob Burdette is equsled
only by bis modesty. In a reply to Bishop Por-
ter's assertion that the grand old lecturers of
the day when there were giants on the plat
form have given place to the lend men," Bur
dette shows that in the Boston Lyceum Bureau,
the oldest in the country, there is but one name
bracketed humorous" namely, that of Mr..
Burdette himself; "and that one Is not very
funny, either" to use Burdettes own words.

In Germany the Government encourages the

forbidden because the book is bad. The trouble
with governments on both sides of the water is

A N entertainment fit for the gods, a feast Of
music and song that found an answer in
the soul of every Chautauquan with the least

these excellent artistes to surpass themselves.

"The Unconscious Man" was the subject of a
lecture, by DIR. Henry q. Hanchett excellent
in thought and we'll delivered. DR.. Ranchett
has.been connected with various colleges and
at present is secretary of the Academy of
Anthropology in New York City The lecturer
began his address by remarking that when cell
life. animal life and mental life were all taken
into account, 1t would be found that
the conscious are to the unconscious activities
that 60 to make up man as one to ten. In
fact, the conscious man is little more than an
inattentive and preoccuDied spectator of the
doings of the unconscious. Beginning tha
study of the unconscious man with cell life, it
was plain that intention and preference, quail
ties of mind could be traced here, where there
is no sign of consciousness. Even atoms and
particles which have no life, manifest deter
mination and choice. as shown In the con-
structiOn of crystals, where atoms are free. and
leave one combination to enter another. Cells,
upon which organic life is based, manifest
these qualities of the mind to remarkable
degree.

Mrs, Roherfs, Rail.
Poor Mrs. Mackay.

MRS. MAcKAY has long been the victim of
malice of the most venomous type She
offers reward in the journals to discover, if
possible the offenders; but it is always difficult
to trace falsehoods to their original source, as
slanderers are invariably towards, and take
refuge, when confronted. in the most miser-
able subterfuges Mrs. Mackay need not bother
her mind about these abominable pests of soci-
ETY., as all who have the pleasure of her ac-
quaintance know her to be a lady an fond, and
that the stories SO industriously circulated are
sheer lying inventions got up by people whom
Mr. and Mrs. Mackay cannot. for social rea-
sons, recognize. This mean form of revenge IL
in frequent use among low-minded persons,
but, happily it has little or no effect.

TITS impossible to kill or destroy the life Of
atoms, although they may have to wait
thousands of years to display it. The stomach
does not truly tell its state to the conscious but
the unconscious man not only knows exactly
what is going on there but directs it ALL recog-
nizing the character and destination of each
norsel and treating 1t differently. according to
its value rejecting this and appropriating that
and continuing his supervision through all the
processes of nutrition and repair. Still more
Wonderful is his building of the unborn body,
which he fits up with prophets faith. He
forms the eye for light before it has seen the
light and maps out the curves Of the body 40
years before they are completed But II all
these are called routine work we can see in
telligence in the way the unconscious man
hanlles peculiar problems.
When a person breaks a bone 1t IS the un-
conscious man who directs all the steps In the
repair, and as physician he has shown himself
capable of meeting almost every disease un-
aided and with success. He it is that breathes,
talks walks and eats, and no mechanical
function is performed well by our bodies till 1t
is performed unconsciously as by habit. Piano
playing ia conspicuous example, and Mr.:
Sherwood's recent performance of the whole Of
a Beethoven sonata in the dark shows how per-
fectly the unconscious man learns what he is
carefully taught.

,sciousness and Memory.

SENSATIONS are received first by the uncon-
scious man who protects us from impend-
ing dangers often before we know of their ex-
istence. Absent-minded persons even respond
to questions and do things unconsciously that
make them regret the assurance and effrontery
of the unconscious man. He lets US sleep
through loud usual noises, but wakes us at the
slightest unusual and suspicious sound. He
remembers even when impressions received by
him are not at once reported to consciousness.
things 'come to US, which at first we thought
were lost, and through the magnetic sense'' the
unconscious man learns of things where
no impression was made through any of the
five senses. Clairvoyance, mental telegraphy
and like Manifestations come wholly within
the realm of the unconscious man. In the
mental life the unconscious man is active, in

AS one passes from North Carolina to South Carolina across the Blue Ridge he discovers 8 wonderful change. On the North Carolina side is an apparent want of self esteem, 8 tranquility and almost peasant character, which, so far from be- ing repulsive to strangers, is to all men of experience sign of more hopeful future strength As soon as one descends the: mountains into South Carolina he notices that people regard him with more interest, ss if they at once picked him out for stranger and wondered what he was doing there. The young men carry self-con soiousness in their countenances. They are unquestionable better looking physically than the people of North Carolina, bus one can go through western North Caro- lima a whole week and find nothing to annoy his personal sensibilities.-@GathH in Cincinnati EnQuirer

A Real Curiosity Shop in Santa Fe.

A Real Curiosity Shop in Santa Fe.
 Santa Fe, is to some extent, the treasure ground of curiosity seekers. In many of the shops there are collections of Indian goods, blankets, pottery, bows and stone utensils that are half real and half manu- factured goods. One needs to be an acute judge of the articles offered for sale to es- cape being deceived. But if he waits, the stranger need not fear paying his money for contraband objects. Sooner or later an old, gray-haired senorita will appear, loaded down with Indian-made baskets, in which are specimens of pueblo pottery, bits of turquois, a blanket or two, and arrows and bows enough to start mu- seum with. SquaEting down in some sunny corner the good dame waits with he patience of Job for customers, and a, evening steals silently of to her cabin on he banks of some neighboring stream She is type of race fast dying out l. was her ancestors who first inhabited thC pueblo of Santa Fe who rebelled against the Spaniards.
