experiences in Ireland referring TO
the serious factiODAl fight OF Last week.
he'd proved that the policy Of the Liber-
al UDionists was the only correct one.
A letter from Jos. Chamberlain was
read. He said that the Gladstonians
had lost confidence In the home rule
movement, and that they we're trying
TO pass a bill to establish home rule,

An old sea dog, Sawyer by name,
was privil ged character on a certain
man-of- war because of his age and the
length of time he had been in the serv-
ice. He eked out his pay by making
and selling uniforms for the other men.
and as he had the market entirely to
himself il was natural that he should
become a little autOcratie in his deal
ings. On one occasion a young sailor
wished to buy a pair of white duck
working trousers.
Old Sawyer, holding pair of second
hand trousers at arms length, descant-
ed upon their various excellencies until
he was compelled to pause for breath.
At that point the young fellow ventured
TO ask meekly:
"And what might the price be. Mr.
Sawyer
The old man hemmed and hawed
and began thus:
"Waal. young feller, l reckon you
know what white duck costs from the
paymaster, don't youl Fifty cents a
yard, amt itl And sc many yards is
two dollars altogether. Then there's
the thread, ten cents well call it, two
dollars and ten cents; and the making
will bring it up to three fifty. caIker-
late We won't quarrel with that; and
then there's this blue patch, " be con-
tinued. strokingit lovingly, Il put that
in myself last summer, an it's a good
piece of work. I'm 'fraid | shall have
70 charge you twenty cents extry for
that patch. say three dollars and sew
enty cents altogether"
The money was paid and received
without a word. neither party seeming
10 think it surprising that patched
trousers should cost more than whole
ones. Youths Companion.

of his sharpened faculties, the hypnousr
will sometimes divine, though he can
not tread" the thought of another.
Ofmodern mind readers the late Wash
ington Irving Bishop was the best known
in this country. Mr.. Bishop was at the
same time an expert muscle reader and a
clever trickster. His most famous feat,
the one from which he gained the great
est notoriety and eclat, was that of driv-
ing team of horses, while he was os-
tensibly blindfolded, at break neck speed
by circuitous route through crowded
streets and finding at distant point an
object or name in book, previously
selected by committee.
For the amusement of my friends I
have several times performed this SEEM
iIgly impossible feat, and in no instance
have my methods been detected. Its sue
cessful accomplishment depends upon
two things-the fact that one who is APP
parently blindfolded can see distinctly
all the time, and the fact that the mem
bers of his committee are betrayed into
becoming his unwilling accomplices.
HARDLY KNOW THEMSELVES.
The testimony of all muscle readers.
especially during their first attempts,
has been that they do not know what
their methods are. Early success is a
self surprise. Il creates the impression
that one is possessed Of a weird power.
This was my own experience. But, after
repeated experiment and close observs-
ton, am convinced that the facts AL
NIT of rational explanation.
Primarily the results are all due to a
single cause, but several different con-
ditions enter into their execution. In
making his way TO the location Of a hid
den object the subject usually does not
lead the muscle reader, but the muscle
reader leads the subject That is TO say,
so long as the muscle reader moves in
the right direction the subject gives no
indication, but passively moves with
him. The muscle reader perceiveS moth
ing unusual. But, the subjects mind
being intently fixed on a certain course,
the instant that the muscle reader de-
yiates from that course there is slight,
involuntary tremor, or muscular thrill,
on the part Of the subject, due 70 the sud
den interruption of his previous state Of
mental tension.
The muscle reader almost unconscious
" takes note of the delicate signal ard
alters his course 10 the proper one, again
leading his willing subject In word,
ne follows the lines Of least resistance.
In other cases the conditions are reversed
the subject unwit1nsly leads the p-ln-
cipal. He becomes 50 much interested
and his mind IS so intently fixed upon the
object Of his search that he is obhvious OF
everything save the attempt 70 find IL

WHAT MIND READING Is.
NOTHING BUT CLEVER TRlCKERY
OR MUSCLE READING.

DR.. Gatchen Explains How Stuart Cum
berIand and Washington irving Bishop
Performed Their Surprising Feats-The
Scientific Explanation.
The credulity of the American people
has often been imposed upon. The
Locke Moon Hoax" and the Cardiff
giant have been followed by the modern
mind reader" who claims for himself
powers of divination excelling anything
that has been known since the time of
Christ Mind reading, in the sense in
which the word is used by those who
pretend to possess the alleged power,
may be defined as the transference of
thought-that is, mental conception,
or an idea-from the mind of one person
to the mind of another, without the use
of the known mediums of communica-
ton, which consist Of the nerves of gen.
eral sensation and those of special sense.
Mind readers claim that this feat is
possible. In opposition to such claims,
l submit that profane history contains
no trustworthy account of its accom-
plishment 1t never will be brought
about so long as man remains constituted
as he is at present. 1t is opposed to the
principles of evolution and TO all known
facts of physiology. Notwithstanding
all that may be adduced TO the contrary,
many believe that mind reading is one of
the possibilities, even if it is not one of
the actualitieS of life. But the belief,
in every instance, is founded either on
insufficient evidence or on faulty OBJ
servation, or on disposition TO mistake
the marvellous for the miraculous.
Many accounts of alleged mind read
ing are purely fictitious Others are ex-
aggerations of trivial incidents or misin-
terpretstions of observed phenomena.
Others still are accounts of muscle read
ing. Those cases that do not belong TO
the classes named are accomplished by
trickery.
NOT EVEN N HYPNoTISN.
II there were anv conditions under
which thought transference might occur
they would seem to be supplied by hyp-
norism. In the hypnotic state the mind
of one person exerts over the mind of an
other an influence that surpasses any
thing with which we are acquainted
under ordinary conditions. But the i'm
possible canrot be accomplished even by
the aid of hypnotiSln.
1t must be born in mind that in the
hypnotic state ones senses are intensely
acute. That which ordinarily escapes
the attention ofthe most careful observer
is quickly detected by the sharpened
senses of the hypnotist. 1t is impossible
TO make a motion that he does not see
and interpret accurately. Thus, by virtue
