Telepathy.

A young married lady related to me
the following remarkable experience of
this kind: Shortly after her marriage she
had accompanied her husband to India.
It was toward the end of the mutiny,
and she was separated from him-he be-
ing about forty miles away, and, as she
believed, in great personal danger. For
the first time in her young life she was
left alone. One night, on retiring to rest,
feeling far from well, depressed, too, by
the sense of loneliness and by anxiety on
her husbands account, she ''could not
help crying" and fell, as she thought,
into troubled sleep, in which she
dreamed or fancied that an elderly
gentleman who had shown them
much kindness on their first ar
rival in India, but who was then
residing at considerable distance,
entered her room, and approaching the
bed, said, "My dear child, know well
what you are suffering, and, believe me,
I feel deeply for you," and that he
stopped down and kissed her. Though
quite aware, she said, that it was merely
vision, she felt greatly consoled.
The mutiny ended, she was with her
husband in Calcutta at an evening party,
at which she met their friend. He ex-
pressed his pleasure at seeing her again
after long interval. 'sIt is not so
long" she replied, "since l saw you"
and she described the vision. With ex-
pressions of the utmost astonishment, he
declared that he himself had had sim
liar vision, or rather dream. 81 dreamed
that saw you crying and tried to con-
sole you and kissed you. "-.Blackw0od's
Magazine.

a ringing noise
in the ears, headache, deafness, eyes
weak; obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, bloody and

Not all of these symptoms at once.
Probably only few of them.
That's Catarrh.
A medicine that by its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties has cured the most hope

that doesn't simply palliate for
time, but produces perfect and per
manent cures.
That's DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
A cash payment of $500, not By
you, as you might expect, but to
you, if you can't be cured. It's an
offer that's made in good faith, to

That's the kind of medicine to try.
Doesn't it seem SO?

Among the great masses who must
oil for their daily bread, certainly many
lave not yet devoted themselves to till
ng the soil, and on this account their
.nenies have devised the charge that
Jews are Of no use in agriculture, that
hey are ayerse to all hard work. Here
also experience gives a refutation. In
he lands where Jews have been per-
nitted to acquire landed property, where
they have found opportunity to devote
themselves to agriculture, they have
proved themselves excellent farmers.
For example, in Hungary they form a
very large part Of the tillers Of the soil,
and thisfsct is acknowledged to such an
extent that the high Catholic clergy In
Hungary almost exclusively have Jews
IS tenants on mortmain properties, and
almost all large landholders give prefer
ence to the Jews on account Of their in
1ustry, their rectitude and their dex-
terity. These are facts that cannot be
hid, and that have force. SO that the
Semitic movement, which for a
long time fourished in Hungary, must
expire.
II will expire because every one sees
that so important factor in the pro-
ductive activity Of the country-especi-
ally in sgriculture-cannot be spared.
My own personal experience, too, has led
me to recognize that the Jews have very
good ability in agriculture. have seen
this personally in the Jewish agricul-
tural colonies Of Turkey, and the re-
ports from the expedition that have
sent to the Argentine Republic plainly
show the same fact.-Baron de Hirsch
