But every one of these articles, he AYERS, sets
up vibrations in the human system, affecting
the head and circulation.
DOCTORS MUST LOOK OUT.
Space is too short to go into detail as to
this system of stars, and garden stuff, and
weeds. Suffice it TO say that this member of
the Magi claims that combinations
of the active principles of the seven
planets ruling in each sign, and af-
ecting the human system, comes as near to
scientific theory of medicine as it is possi-
BILE to get." In fact he asserts that he has
demonstrated this as a truth himself, and
the effects thereof are Of magnetic nature.
1t would seem then that it was time for the
ordinary run OF doctors to wake up. This
man with his head among the stars holding
communion with Spirits on demand, NAV
secure a divine spark that will fire all of
their system OF guesswork from the face OF
the earth. Among the many mysteries as
noted in this spiritualist paper none are
more funny than ths advertisements.

WHAT PITTsBURG IL LOSING.
There is no telling what Pittsbnrg has
lost already, and may lose hereafter by its
narrow goodness and bisoied conservatism
in regarding with suspicion, and refusing a
welcome, to those whose astral forces and
magnetic powers enable them to read what
is written in the stars, aud indelibly i'm

home and come straight to Chicago, there to
set up a temple, establish the Order of the
Magi, and constitute The Thinker the
official organ of this mysterious brother
hood. This has been done, and now the
prophet holds forth in lectures on such COM
prehensive subjects as astral Magnetism,
or the Occult Forces of Nature" "Zodiacal
Differentiation in Man." and "Infnitv."
The reports of these lectures are illustrated
by the old almanac pictures of the signs
of the Zodiac, with the Ram and the Bull,
the Grab, the Fishes, the Goat, the Scor-
pion, the Lion, the Twins, and all the rest
of the consultations distributed around the
form of a woman.
From spiritual point Of view we are
gravely told the signs begin at Libra. But
owing to the specific effects OF the astral
vibrations, this high priest of mysterious
revelations makes different arrangement
of the signs, the meaning of which, in his
own words, is that man has developed so
highly as to be differentiated to II places of
vibration-the highest of all earthly crea-
tions" 1t is likely that this piece OF pro-
found knowledge will be comfort to the
'seekers Of light" even If they do not know
what, under the shining heavens, 1t all
means.
SOME HIGH-soUNDING PHRASES.
Furthermore, it will doubtless be matter
of rejoicing to many to hear that man car
differentiate to but one more. place in the
physical body. He covers the II Zodiacal
signs now-the center only is to come. The
center is the SUM-" The brethren and
the sisters "must all become the sons and
daughters of Light" They must become
possessed of "the thirteenth power" and
when enough of the inhabitants of the earth
have differentiated to that point the long
sought-for millennium will have come" In
fact, it seems to be dawning in Chicago at
the present time by virtue of spiritualism
and these revelations.

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH ]

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.I
While awaiting the next oration by some
master mind now in the spirit land, a little
time may be spent In contemplation of the
teachings and manifestations of occult phen-
omeua as set forth by the "Order OF the
Magi" in Chicago. These mysteries are
said to be absolutely amazing, and are ex-
hiDited under the stricrest test conditions.
As illustrating the things wonderful that
have occurred already, it is stated that u
reporter detailed to write them up was par
alyzed by having his own cane turned into
what seemed to be a snake. Prognostica-
tions were uttered and afterward, literally
fulfilled.
The editor of The Thinker, although pre-
pared for almost anything in the way of
the action of the astral forces upon the soul
of man, when shown some of the spiritual
mysteries was almost overcome with the
vastness of the new light that has dawned
upon the earth. While be was attempting
to take in the tremendousness of this start
ling revelation he saw a book lying upon
the table before him, in which was predic-
tion written in plain English which stated
that this said editor would visit the house
of the prophet on that very day, and per-
form certain mysteries with certain results.
The prediction proved to be true in every
detail. 1t was written with good ink, and
'purported to have been made almost month
before.
WHAT THE RESULT WAS.
The editor being a spiritualist OF the most
ultra order was of course convinced that all
these wonderful things were true. He there
upon urged the occult philosopher and high
priest of the Magi to pack up his duds at

or weasels' heads as the objective garniture.
Just at the present time the warm effects in

THE SOCIAL SEASON AT WASHINGTON

rcoRREsPoNpENcE OF THE pIsPAroH.l
WAsHIN GToN, Jan. 3.-The social sea-
son which opened with January /, is in full
blast. Dinners and receptions will be given
BY the score every week from now on until
Lent, and money is flowing like water in
the spring.
Washington has never seen more elegant
dresses than are worn here this winter. Most
of the noted women got new wardrobes last
summer from Paris and there are acres of
new velvets and satins and diamonds and
pearls and gold galore. I can't estimate
the value of the diamonds which will be
worn at the Diplomatic reception at the
White House. On this occasion the most
magnificent dressing is invariably to be seen.
The invitations are limited to compare
lively small number and 40 natural Sc
quence every one SO bidden is sure to attend.
And should it so chance that Mrs. Morton,
Mrs Letter, Mrs. Leland Stanford, Mrs.
Stockbridge, Mrs. Hit, Mrs. John Hay,
Mrs. John d. Langhorne, Mrs. Hearst
and Mrs. Richard Townsend stand together,
those women alone would represent by their
jewels between $500 900 and $500, 900, while
Mrs. Wanamaker, Madam Romero, Mrs.
Warder, Mrs. Blaine, Countess Esterhazy
and Mrs. Eugene Hale would each repre-
sent a comfortable fortune in the stones
sparkling from throat, ears and hair.
WHAT MRS. HARRISON WILL WEAR.
Mrs. Harrison, though the acknowledged
head of official society from her position as
first lady of the land, does not by any means
lead in the matter of elegant jewels, as her
possessions in this respect are of quite mod
crate dimensions. Nor does she dress so as
to attact attention in any way when on the
street or down town on a shopping expedi-
tion. Generally on such occasions she wears
plain tailor-made gown OF broadcloth or
similar handsome material with a short,
close-ftting sealskin coat and cottage bon
net to match the prevailing color OF her cos
tune. Ali this, however, is changed when
any public ceremonial requires her to appear
in full dress, for on these occasions her cos
tunes are marked by degree of quiet ele-
gsnce befittlng the position which she aptly
fills in the White House.
1t is unnecessary to give more than
passing mention to the inaugural gown of
white satin brocaded in bullion thread In
sprays of golden-rod, as that has already be-
come thoroughly familiar to the American
public. As a rule Mrs. Harrison's gowns
are of satin, either brocaded or plain, and of
velvet, for it is of rare occurrence that she
appears in silk when in evening attire.
French gray, dark heliotrope and black are
her favorite colors. Diamond corsage pins

Cook pledges me his word that he did not
laugh at this performance. I suppose I
must believe him. Then after all this and
lot of similar performances each young
woman in turn-and there were over 40 ofthem
walked around the block while the judges
stood on the steps and shivered. Suddenly
the eyes of the one-time Yale oarsman rested
upon young woman who, to use his own
graphic language, appeared to float through
the air." As he has probably told his wife
all about the matter before this, I need not
hesitate to add that he further informed me
that this wonderful feminine creation was
the only one among her sisters who did not
have an air of self-consciousness; that, un-
like nearly all of the girls of her country,
she did not walk or shuttle from the knees,
but gracefully strobe forward with full
swing from the hips like her English sister;
rather that she didn't appear to walk at all,
but seemed to glide in the perfection Of
grace.
"That's the winner" said Cook, pointing
toward her.
Fright you are, said General Porter, and
thus the matter was decided.
Now, where do you suppose she hailed
from? Let the girls of the East hide their
diminished feet and no longer laugh at the
awkwardness and uncouthness of the big
feet of the beauties of the West. She was
born under one of the new stars in the con-
stellatlon of the Union. She lives in Idaho,
and her name is-we.l, that promised not
to tell.
Looking out in one way it may be an
nounced that we are at once the most chiv-
alric and the worst hammered nation in the
world. Too much independence of consti-
