What Takes cognisance of Time Will
You Sleen?

-s- lou SieepF
A discussion has been going on in the
English Society for Psychial Research
as to the existence and the nature of the
power by which so many people manage
to wake themselves precisely at the hour
at which they have resolved to wake
themselves the previous night. 1t is a
matter on which probably the greater
number of people can convince them
selves. You may fix time when no
clock strikes, so that it cannot be half
heard sound which wakes you.
You may fix five minutes before the
hour in house in which no clock strikes
the quarter or even In house in which
there is no striking clock at all, and no
church clock within couple of miles,
and yet not one person only, but great
many--we might perhaps say the ma
iority of persons past middle AEGEAN
wake themselves at the right hour If on
the previous night they 60 to bed with
the resolve to do SO strong in their minds
1t is n power which belongs to all sorts
of persons--not only persons who have
been in the habit Of getting up at given
hours, but to persons who have not. D..
Most nurses have 1t, most servants,
most laborers, most professional men.
Yet il is very difficult to account for,
for when you wake you have no dis
tinct, nor, indeed, indistinct, recognition
of the time on you. You only know
what time you ought to have been
awake, but not in the least consciously
that this time has arrived, though, when
you look al your watch in a fright, you
lind as matter of fact that il has
arrived, and only just arrived. We be-
lieye that the same power would apply
TO the daytime under the same condi-
tons, namely, that you fix firmly in
your mind some hours, or at least some
considerable time, earlier that you are
TO do something specific and to be
aroused to a sense of the time at a
specific minute; only people notice this
| less since there are SO many things in
the daytime which warn us and thus
put Us on the watch as to how time is
flying.
The curious thing is that, though you
can arrest your own attention and wake
up at the required time, you never seen
to have the least assurance that 1t is the
right time without consulting YOU
watch. If you do really "divine" time
you have no power of recognizing tina
You have "divinGd" it. You feel as i
you had merely guessed it, and very
probably guessed wrong, until YOU
watch confirms the guess.
The mind measures duration chief,
by the succession of its own thoughts
but, as we have seen, it isnot duration
but something quite different from dura
ton, Of which il appears to be conscious
thus il can wake the body at any givel
hour without even knowing (consciousl
at leas) how much time has elapseI
since the resolve to wake was frs
formed.

Work is Managed in a Great City of
Germany.
Editor Gdzotee:: The estimated
population of Berlin is 100000. The
first thing that impresses the traveller on
his arrival is the cleanliness and the ex-
cellent condition of all the streets, and
the constant series of brushings and
scrapings they undergo. After one has
lived year in Berlin, and has walked
all over the city, been through its mar
rowest alleys and crookedest streets,
and has seen that they are as clean and
as well kept as the broad boulevards
and avenues where the hotels frequented
by the tourists are located, he becomes
convinced that Berlin is model city
Tor cleanliness.
The sidewalks and every street are
brushed daily, and thus kept free from
horse dirt, paper, &C., which would
make them look untidy. The streets
undergo, through scraping, washing and
brushing three times week. Those in
the business portions of the city are
narrow and much used, and are cleaned
daily; others less used; three times; others
twice, and few lying on the outskirts OF
the city once week. The STRENGTHENING

into which the city is divided for pur

Awful Vengeance Upon Two
Negroes In South Carolina.

Plugged by the Husband of the Woman
They Had Assauitcd--Then Hanged and
Their Bodies Rlddled With Bullets.
New York sun special.
COLUMBIA, S. c., July 30.-Two ne
groes who committed an assault upon
Mrs. Sightler of CASTOR were lynched
to-day.
VIII Thompson, an overgrown, 16-
years-old negro, was caught near Col
umbia and taken to CASTOR early this
morning, where his captors were met
by mob of 200 people, who were
Joined by hundred men from this city.
Thompson confessed that he and Tom
Preston and Andy Kaigler, all colored,
committed the crime one week ago. The
turpentine barrel and burn him; instead
he was hanged to a small tree.
Before the hanging Arch Sightler,
husband OF the woman, laid 90 lashes
upon the negro's bare back with heavy
buggy trace, every blow bringing blood.
When he got tired another man took his
place and continued the whipping.
Thompson could not yell, as the rope
around his neck choked him. After
the hanging hundred men fred into
MS pody with pistols, shotguns ana
rifles. Hardly square inch OF his body
escaped bullet.
At IL o'clock Preston was captured
seven miles from CASTOR, and was taken
to the scene of the early morning trag-
edy. Here all the horrors of the Thomp.
son lynching were re.enacted.
Preston was stripped and. pinioned to
the same scaffold which had served for
Thompson. Arch Sightler, with the
same heavy buggy trace, beat the un.
fortunate wretch, and when he was ex.
hausted, the whipping was continued
by others of the mob until the negro's
entire body was mass of bleeding flesh
At l o'clock, after Preston had re.
gained consciousness, he was swung VI
to the same limb to which Thompson
had been hanged four hours before and
his body riddled- with bullets. Preston
declared his innocence to the last.
AT 0 o'clock tonight the mob at Lex
ington court house has swelled to fully
1000 people and an attack upon the jal
where Kaigler is confined was momen
tarily expected. 1t is not believed tina
the sheriff will offer any serious resist
ance.

The choir consists of 81 men. and fol

by one of its own members. Its Italian

In the time of Gregory the Great the
honor of membership was so highly re-
garded that persons of most noble birth
contended eagerly for places, and many
of the choir went TO take charge of the
music i'll the principal churches of other
countries. After various changes the
number in the choir was fixed at 80 in
1850 and has remained at that ever since
That was during the short period that
the famous Palestrina was master of the
choir. He was the only married man

by Pope Paul " for that reason. 1t
was long thought very remarkable that
such fine soprano voices were heard in
this exclusive male choir, and many Gu
rious stories We're told to account for it,
but it is now known to have been the
result of special training begun in
childhood. This system, known as the

voices thus trained retain their sweet
