He spoke with an air of authority
that gave new aspect to his mysterious
character. The man seemed to change

men change their clothes.

She left the room. and Garcia turned
to the CONT, who sat white and trem-
bling i'll his chair.
"You are to be brought back to the
station in life from which you rose,"
said lie. "The deeds which you are to
sign transfers your property to others.
You will execute a paper stating your
true name and confessing that you are
the murderer of Harry Trent. This will be
used against you in case you should ~

The count bent his head. Sallie re-
entered the room with the papers. They
were placed before him, pen was put
in his hand, and he affixed his signature
to each document. Words were spoken,
but he did not comprehend them. The
objects of the material world seemed to
flow and dissolve around him like the
phantasmagory of dream. He was
fully conscious of nothing until he found
himself standing on the end of a wharf
by the river staring into the stream.

A Stud v.

I saw sweet faced young lady seated in
car the other day oblivious to the pres
ence of all other passengers as she studied
away from the pages of an open book lying
on her lap She was not more than eight
cen years old, slight of figure, and while
apparently in good health was not strong.
She wouldn't be able to do general house
work. Two or three days service behind
a counter would in all probability COM
pletely PROSTATE her, while steady employ
ment on a sewing machine or piano was
beyond her physical reach. AS she studied
l concluded, realizing that she had a gen.
eral air of refinement and intelligence, that
her aim was to fit herself as teacher.
Just then she closed her book, and on the
cover ! read the title, G System of Pho
nograpy."
Then I understood that the young stu
dent had carefully weighed her mental and
physical resources in the selection Of an
to her most suitable. Then l called to
mind a number of acquaintance who are
expert stenographers and typewriters, and
work ten hours day for salaries ranging
from six dollars to ten dollars a week, who
claim that their work is very eXacting
mentally and physically, and who are con-
tinually wishing they had chosen some
other occupation. After all, this habit of
working for a living is an Objectionable
practice viewed from any standpoint.-De-

St. Louis TO Colorado via wichita.


Commencing Sunday, July 1880, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from st. Louis via Pleasant
He'll, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account OF a great many peo-
pie from the east going to Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours giving all 4
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1t also gives the citizens Of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Be
turning, it gives us through sleeping car
service Wichita toSt. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people chance to go east via
Wichita. This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita. If
you are going east or west 60 via the pop
ular new through route. Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to st. Louis or
Colorado.

MIR, Reading and Muscle Reading.

The methods of mind readers NAV be
shown to be those of the conjurer and the
mounrcbank. Muscle reading, on the
other hand, is subject worthy of serious
investigation. Muscle reading is the per-
ception by one person of an extremely
slight, involuntary action of the muscles
of another with whom he is in contact.
The contact is usually made by taking the
hand or wrist of the subject, though there
are various other methods. Connection is
made sometimes even by means of a cop
per wire. The muscular action that is
felt by the principal is so slight as to be
almost imperceptible. In fact, in many
cases it is so delicate that, while the prin-
cipal's own muscles are affected by it, it Is
not m de knowHsto consciousness.
The muscle reader receives from his sub
ject intelligence in regard to only two
things-direction and time In seeking a
hidden object he learns nothing of its ma
ture, of its locality, or of whether it is one
foot or one mile distant from his out
stretched hand. The conditions amount
to tacit understanding between principal
and subject that the one is to signal the
other at the instant when he names Or
points to the letter or figure that is the OBJ
ject of inquiry. Involuntarily the subject
carries out his part of the agreement. A
statement of these facts is a sufficient an
swer to those who contend that, since
there is nothing in name, muscle reading
may, after all, be mind reading.
An intelligent comprehension of the sub
ject will establish the fact that muscle
reading is just what the term implies. But
mind reading cannot be SO favorably con-
sidered. 1t is a species Of trickery, in the
performance of which the ordinary COM
mittee will, unwittingly, aid and abet the
performer. Moreover, the mind reader
never permits himself to be subjected to
test conditions, nor does every one know
how to impose them. Mr.. Bishop deceived
the late Professor William B. Carpenter
by simple trick with cards that three
card monte man would have detected in
an instant. An expert should always be
set to catch an expert.-Dr. Charles Catch

InGcrSoli on California.

In a recent magazine article. Mr.. Ernest
In2ersoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that OF Egypt.
Its equability is constant. and its dryness
is proverbial The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that a rousing storm would give them
a grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from a superfluity OF wetness and
chilling gales To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise. and to the in-
valid dreading the advance of disease, the
still, arid atmosphere is as the breath of
life
The most comfortable way to reach the
Pacific coast Is via Santa Fe Route.
