The chilly dampness will render it impossible
before the middle Of April to permanently lay
aside the winter clothing and assume the livery
Of spring. New apparel already completed and
in its owners possession must, with rare excep-
tons, be enjoyed rather in contemplation and
anticipation than in the actual wearing. But
down south, where roses bloom in December,
the fortunate residents and soiourners are
even now reveling in light dainty attire such
as is only possible FOR northerners in mid-sum-
mer. Such gowns in wool crepons, chAllies and
China silks Redfern is now making up by the
dozen. The model here shown is one Of those
handsome dresses which is equally suitable for
mouse or outdoor wear. In fashioning it Red
fern has responded to the increasing demand
for the longer skirt, which in this case means
four inches in length (on the ground).

MUSCLE READING,

MUSCLE READING.
The methods Of mind readers may thus be
shown to be those of the conjurer and mounte.
bank. Muscle reading. on the other hand, is a
subject worthy Of serious investigation. II ia
the perception by one person of an extremely
slight, involuntary action Of the muscles of
another, with whom he il in contact. The con-
tact 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 copper wire. The muscular &C.
ton that is felt by the principal is 80 slight as
to he almost imperceptible. In fact in many
cases it is delicate that, while the principals
own muscles are affected by it, it is not made
known to consciousness. In order to attain
success q muscle reader must have 4
good subject, that is, person whose
muscles will give the necessary indications.
Not every one fuihlls this condition. My ex-
perience is that. among young people, about
one person in five possesses the requisite quail
ties; among adults, but one in ten or twenty
The required condition is that the subject shall
exert no muscular self-control, but shall per-
NIT his muscles to act spontaneously. In
muscle reading vision is not necessary. In
fact it IL often an advantage to have the ewes
blinded, for this permits greater concentration
OF the attention upon the main object-the per
ception of the indications given by the muscles
of the subject
The feat most commonly performed by
muscle readers is the finding OF hidden OBJ
ject. Any small object, such as q penknife or
o pin, is hidden from sight in an adjoining
room, in another part Of the house or even In
o distant locality. The muscle reader takes
the hand of the subject, who must know the
whereabouts Of the hidden object For few
moments he stands motionless; then he starts
of in the right direction, and he seldom fails
to find the object even when 1t is hidden In an
unusual place. The dagger scens," e. II is
called, 10 but modification Of this. One per-
son goes through the motions of stabbine
another with paper dagger, which il then
hidden. The muscle reader selects q subject.
finds the dagger and repeats the scene.
LErrxRs AND YIaunxs.
Another feat performed by muscle readers Il
the reading Of the number ON . bank note, or
Of any arbitrary set Of figures. This may be
done in several waya Usually the person who
has the number in mind lightly clasps the
hand OF the muscle reader, who asks film 10
think Of the FIRST figure Of the periss. The
muscle reader then slowly and sudibly repeats
the names Of the nine di9its In order. AZ The
instant when he speaks the name Of the figure
that the subject has IN mind he perceises
slight muscular tremor or thrill involuntsrily
made by the subject This process d repeated
with each figure until the entire number &
obtained 4 variation Of this feat i performed
with the letters Of the alphabet vrittsn on
blackboard or chart A person sslscts any
word he plsasss, and then, at the muscle
readers request, thinks Of the letters that
composs Il. one ct . time. Ths muscle rsndsr
