NO COMBINATION.
The Whitney Line Not
So Inclined.
The San Rafael Had a Mishap-An
Anchor Lost From the Susque-
fIanna-Marine Notes.

The Davie Company announced that
there were negotiations pending to ar
range with the Whitney Company that
one line might do all the freighting busi-
ness and the other attend to the passenger
tr ffic. Manager McGoverno states that
his line will not form combination.
Mr.. Morgan of the Davie Company is
authority for the statement published in
The CALL to the effect that there is a
movement to consolidate the two COM
panies. The. Davle people still claim that
a negotiation is / OuAnt of, while Whitney
& Co. insist that they are out for both
freight and passengers and will not con-
solidate with any concern.
This is good news TO the public, as two
lines are none too many. and the success
of DO th is assured.

A "Reminiscences of Fanny Kemhle.

The late Fanny Kemble is remembered
by old residents of Germantown and
Philadelphia as a superb horsewoman.
She had a fiery temper, which matched
that of her husband, Pierce Butler, and
speedily brought about what is still one
n of the most noted divorce trials re-
ported in the law books. In her youth
she was remarkably beautiful, and in the
role Of Juliet she was the ~personifica-
ton of dazzling loneliness. She was not
ed for her keenness of wit even in the
days of her old age. Once, when an i'm
pertinent street lounger stepped up to
her while she was looking in the window
of a bric-a-brac store and said, Are you
fond of Antiquities" Mrs. Kemble quick
ly unpinned her veil and turning on the

The Thumb.

Thumbs have been appreciated ever
since the world began. The ancients
used to call the thumb the other hand
Barbarous kings used to swear and make
compacts by their thumbs. In Rome it
was a sign of favor to wiring and kiss the
thumb, and of. disfavor or disgrace to
lift them up or turn them outward. A
man who was hurt in his thumbs was
excused from serving in the Roman wars.
Some of the scoundrelly citizens used T.
cut off their thumbs, so as to remain
home and get rich. Teachers used to
punish their pupils by biting their
thumbs.
The thumb is a great and influential
member. l can look at the thumb of a
young woman and describe her figure. !
can tell whether she is thin and bony. or
plump and round; whether her joints
are large and i'll shapen, or small and
perfectly proportional. By examining
a mans thumb l a tell what ought to
be his vocation.-New York Tribune.

A Matter Of Fact Dog.

There are prosaic men and women,
and there are matter of fact dogs. For
purely business purposes they are often
the best.
We once owned an excellent retriev-
ing spaniel of the simple order of mind,
without a grain of humor. This dog ac-
companied US unasked when we wanted
to shoot a bullfnch in the garden to
stuff. The gun went off. and the poor
bullfnch dropped.
Now, this dog had been used, when
the gun was fired, to go and look for a
dead or wounded rabbit. So, instead
of looking under the apple tree, he dis
appeared into the hedge, and in a few
minutes he returned with a rabbit in his
mouth! So much for the value of a
matter of fact dog.-London Spectator.

he held up his left hand, which was al
most encircled by a deep scar. ''Tht
boys were ordered to charge, and l had
emptied my pistols and had just drawn
my saber when | saw bearing down upon
me one of the largest men l ever saw.
"Our horses were both going at full
speed, and he was headed directly for
me. He launched his blow first, and
instinctively threw up my hand and
lowered my head. The saber struck my
hand, which fell helplessly by my side.
The man flew past me, and | turned my
horse to one side and rode far enough
away to examine my wound. No blood

lief from pain."-St. Louis Republic.

sound of its love notes bearing great
resemblance to the noise produced by
filing the teeth of a large saw. These
notes, when coming, as they frequently
do, from the interior of a deep forest,
produce a very peculiar effect on the
traveller, who, not being aware of their
real nature. expects as he advances on
his route to meet with shelter under a
sawmill at no great distance. Until |

been more than once deceived in this

...:i...fslim,an Who Could Do Many Thing,
FOR Teachers of Hypnotism.

: .l.s..,sin,an Who Could DO Many Thing,
FOR Teachers Of Hypnotism.
The subject who came to me had been
shining light in the profession, and ]
lave reason to know that he was ex.
~ceptionally gifted. He had performed tc
crowded houses under several great
artists at the Aquarium, and elsewhere
in London and the provinces. He had
figured at select seances of scientific hyp
nOtists. He had been privately operated
on by medical men a~nxiously seeking
after truth. And, by his own statement
he had humbugged them oil. What
proof had l, then, that he was not hum
bugging mea Ample proof. He offered.
in the first place, to do under my direc
ton everything which he had done il
public and private when under
supposed hypnotic control. l contem
plated, in the first instance, accepting
this offer and giving a demonstration tc
a select circle, and it was solely owing tt
myself that this was not done.
AS a preliminary, l asked him to ex.
hibit a few of his powers for my private
edification. he complied without hesita
ton. He first of all passed himself int
the "cataleptic" state and lay on the
floor rigid. Two members of my staff
took him in this condition and laid him
across the backs Of two chairs-the back
of his head resting OF mi and his heels
on the other. He remained so for several
minutes. On a pass being made ovel
him with the hand, his body became
arched upward n downward. Two
fairly robust individuals next sat OH his
body, and the "cataleptic" supported
them without signs of inconvenience.
He then himself thrust a needle into his
arm and through the lobe of his ear, tc
prove that he was insensible to pain while
in the cataleptic state.
Next he showed how one side of his
face could be drawn down by toothache
("suggested" by the operator), while the
other side was distended in a broad grin.
Again, at the suggestion" of the oper-
ator, the grin and the toothache changed
sides, and SO on. He offered to swallow
an ounce of cayenne pepper in a glass Of
water, but unfortunately l had no cay
enne pepper at hand. l asked him
whether he could take a wineglassful Of
~ipecacuanha, and he professed readiness
to do it at once. The cayenne pepper ]
could partly understand. 1t would be
a mere question of standing a certain
amount of pain. But l asked him how
he managed to control the effect of the
ip%ecacuanha. I'VE only do it for a
time" he said. "You can learn to do it
with practice, like the rest of the tricks.
But we always bring the stuff up after
the performance"
He also expressed his readiness to
drink oil. Among novel tricks which
he offered to perform was that of ''slow-
ing" the pulse while under hypnotic infu-
ence. Of this he claimed to be the orig
inal inventor. asked him whether all
the subjects" were equal imposters.
"All," he said. He knew them all per-
sonally and would answer for them. He
ridiculed the mere suggestion hat there
could be anything genuine in hypnotism,
whether in Paris, London or anywhere
else, but here he may have spoken be-
You'd his neutrality-suspicious. Truth.

The Restless Man.

Of all tiresome things a restless man is
the worst. Arestless woman cannot be-
gin to come up to a restless man. She
gets physically tired out after awhile and
must sit down. But a mamie can go
on and on forever.
In cafes, railroad trains, theaters-in
fact, wherever men do congregate-there
also is the restless man, driving every
n distracted with his ceaseless tramp
ing. He goes up, and he goes down, but
he is never weary.-New York Herald.
