PEOPLE WHO WAKE AT WILL.
A Peculiar Gift Which Does Away with
Alarm Clocks.

A Peculiar Gift Which Does Away with
Alarm Clocks.
A discussion has been going on in the
English Society for Psychical Research
rs to the existence and nature of the
power by which so many people man.
age to wake themselves precisely at
the hour at which they have resolved to
wake themselves the previous night,
says the London Spectator
There is no question as to the fact.
1t is matter on which probably the
greater number of people Can convince
themselves. You may fix time when
no clock strikes, so that it can not be a
half heard sound which awakes you.
You may fix five minutes before the
hour in house in which no clock
strikes the quarters, or even il house
in which there is no striking clock at
oil. and no church clock within couple
OF miles; and yet not one person only,
but great many-we might, perhaps,
say the majority of persons past middle
aegean wake themselves at the right
hour if on the previous night they go
to bed with the resolve to do so strong
in their minds.
1t is a 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.
Most nurses have it, most servants,
most laborers, most professional men.
Yet it is very difficult to account for,
for when you wake you have no dis.
tinct, nor, ind, ell. indistinct, recogni-
tion 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 at your watch in fright you
find as matter of fact that it has ar
rived and only just arrived.
We believe that the same power would
apply to the daytime under the same
conditions, 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
reused to a sense of the time at a spe-
citic 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 seem
to have the least assurance that it is the
right time without consulting your
watch. If you really "divine" the
time you have no power of recognizing
that you have "divined" it. You feel
as if you had merely guessed it, and
very probably guessed it wrong, until
your watch confirms the guess.

Loved His Neighbor.

Occasionally public speakers will focus
heir attentions on one individual in the
audience ON whom, for illustrations
Iake, their remarks seem to be wholly
md especially addressed. 1t is safe to
Iay that the good man who figured as
ipeaker to western audience in the
present instance, was very much sur
'rised at the literal application of his
ext.

The Sex of the Moon.

In archaic times the moon was re-.
garded as male god. primitive
men,, says q we'll ll-known writer, saw
the moon as most conspicuous object,
whose spots at periods had the SEM
blance Of a mans face, whose waxing
and waning increas ID their wonder,
whose coming and going in the still
and solem night addel to the mystery,
until, from being viewed as o man, it
was seated, especially when apparently
angry, in mist or an eclipse. and sc
reverenced and worshippeI as the
heaven. .man-the monthly god"
We learn from Max Muller that
moon" is a very old word, and in
Anglo-Saxon, where it was used as mas
culine, and not feminine, was mona
In all the Teutonic languages the sun
was feminine, and it is only through
the influence of classical models that in
English moon has been changed into
feminine and sun into masculine. Even
in comparatively recent times the Ger
mans were fond of calling the sun and
moon Frau Some" and Herr Mond. :"
The practice prevailed in ancient
Egypt.
Another reason" says Sir Gardner
Wilkinson, that the moon in the
Egyptian mythology could not be re-
lated to Bubastis is that it is a male and
not female deity, personified in the
god Thoth. This was also the case in
some religions of the West. The Ro-
mans recognized the god Lunus, and
the Germans, like the Arabs, consider
the moon masculine and not feminine,
as were Selene and Luna of the Greeks
and Romans"
In Slavonic, as in Teutonic myth
ology, the moon is male.

The blasts that drove the storm
clouds across the heavens shook the
oak. and the acorn cup, loosened from
Its fruit, fell on the pathway.
A cloud bursts; rain-drop filed the
acorn cup.
A robbin, wearied by the sultry heat
Of an autumn day, and troubled by the
fury of the storm. hoped on the path
when all was calm, and drank of the
rain drop. Refreshed and gladdensd,
he flew to his accustomed place in the
Ivy that overhung the poets window,
and there he trilled his sweetest, hap
piest song.
The poet heard, and rising from his
reverie, wrote chant of graceful re-.
lOicing. The chant went forth into the
world, and entered the house of sorrow,
and uttered It's heart-stirrlng accents by
The couch of sickness. The sorrowful
were comforted. the sick were cheered.
Many voices praised the poet. He
said, The chant was inspired by the
robins song"
Il owe my song to the rain drop"
said the robin.
Il should have spnk into the earth,
had not the acorn cup received me"
'aid the rain drop.
Il had not been there to receive you,
but for the angry blast" said the acorn
sup.
And go they that were comforted
praised the blast; but the blast replied:
Praise Him at whose word the stormy
wind ariseth, and who from darkness
'an bring light, making His mercies
oftentimes to pass through unseen, un-
known and unsuspected channels, and
bringing, in due time. by His own way,
;he grateful chant from the angry storm
cloud"

LIFE.

Close by the murmuring sire n cts flow
The wild flowers bloom all summer long.
Unconscious of the tears and woe
That seem the lot of human throng,
SO calmly fair.
Oh for such sinless peace,
Lulled by the wood-brook's fow,
Such beautiful release
From all the ills we know!
Oh. sweet beneath some spreading tree.
When spring has filed the fields with bloom
Comes silent sleep to set US free
From toll and care. from sombre gloom.
So still. so sweeti
Oh for such soothing sleep.
Blessed with angelic dreams,
So silent, calm, and deep.
The soul in heaven seems!
When music with her witching spell
Enchants the heart with mystic power,
When love and hope and youth as we'll
Thrill as if dawned their natal hour.
Such power hath song.
Oh for a life so fair
Throbbing with music sweet,
symphony so rare.
A harmony complete!
But life is not wild flowers bloom.
n yet the sinlessness of sleep.

Resistlessly with import deep.
So real is life.
Yet through the storm and stress,
Something of wild-hower calm.
Something of sleep to bless,
Something of music's balml

John T. Kelly, the popular Irish COM
edian, comes to the Opera House Thurs
day aud Friday, November 10th and
18th, when he will present for the first
time here a new play by Charles t. Vim
cent and Mr. Kelly, entitled ''McFee OF
Dublin" 1t may be said Of Mr.. Kelly
that he is always funny. Years ago,
when he was making a anne as an Irish
comedian by means of a vaudeville
monolegue, he was funny; and to-day,
in the star part Of q piece called a mer-
ry eccentricity, he continues to be
funny. His brogue is broad and de-
lightful, and he is such a good comedian
that he could make most anything 60.
His new comedy gives him better oppor-
tunities than anything in which he has
ever been seen in here. Ii tells how
Roger O'Mara impersonates an Irish
lord and gets into any amount OF trouble
in consequence.

actress of considerable talent and in
Lady Lii" has every opportunity to
display it. She appears in some gor-
geous costumes, the diamond garter
attracting particular attention. Miss
Arthur Elliott, as the Colonel, the
principal support, IS good, while Mr..
Godfrey Stein, as one OF abe chosen
people keep the audience constantly In

Col. B. R. S~treator. of Washington,

larceny was recorded in the REGISTER
Of yesterday, was arraigned before Jus
tice GiIlespy. and after a hearing was
discharged from custody, the prisoner
being given the ''beneft Of the doubt"
in the charges. The real trouble seems
to have been a disinclination on the
part Of the prosecuting witnesses to
push the cases. In one instance the de-
PENDENT was shown to have bought a
spoon for 55 cents, but in another
there was q clear case of robbery made
out. The witnesses seemed TO think
that there was an absence of ''felonious
INTENT" however, ard in one way and
another the bottom fell ont OF the whole
matter and the defendant was allowed
TO go, and went at once.

Aftsr His Girl Again.

William Lauchlin was 10 Police Court
Yesterday evening to answer q charge
OF disorder. He plead guilty, but was
only fined S. and costs, instead OF the
highest fine, which is the one to be ad-
ministered in cases OF a plea Of gUiTy.
No witnesses were heard, but the state
Eents flying about were to the effect
that Lauchlin went out to Ada Fosters
yesterday morning, broke the door open
and drew 8 revolver, first on Ada Foster
and later con Carrie Palmer, who was
there. The police say Lauchlin
made Palmer get into a hack, when he
took her to a Main street store of which
Lauchlin is the temporary custodian,
and kept her there a considerable time,
and the officers further states that dur
ing the day, at this store, Lauchlin at
tempted to compel Carrie TO take poison
Of some sort, at the muzzle Of a revolt

him. She was in Court last night to
testify, but the plea Of guilty cut out

ABIe FOG.
II Stretched over Ralf the Northssa
states


States
During Thursday aud Friday nights
the fog along this portion Of the Ohio
valley was unusually dense, impeding
navigation on the river, and interfering
greatly with the running OF trains on
the railroads. The fog was not confined
to the river valley, as is usually the
case. but extended throughout the
country, being even heavier forty
or fifty miles over In Ohio THAI
it was about this city. Telegraphic
advices received yesterday show
that the fog was general throughout
the northern States. aud that there VAS
u general interference with the running
Of railroads aud the navigation of the
rivers aud the great Lakes. AT Chicago
and other lake cities, the fog was dense
even at noon, and gas had TO be used In
the middle OF the afternoon In business
houses. Collisions between street cars
and wagons were OF frequent occur
renee ia Chicago. and several bad acci-
dents resulted. The fog was notice.
able from the Mississippi valley 10 the
All an,ic coast, aud as far south as Ken
lucky and the southern portion Of Vlr-
ginia.
Last night there was little fog, and
the trouble is believed to be over.

CITY POLITICS.
The Gas Board Deadlock to Be Resumed
Tuesday evening.

The Gas Board Deadlock to Be Resumed
: Tuesday evening.
Council will meet in regular session
Tuesday evening, and In accordance
with the agreement entered into be-
tween the political leaders on both sides,
the fight for the control Of the City Gas
Board will be resumed and carried on
10 a finish of some SORT. 1t is UNDER
stood that Mr.. Fill n will still cast his
vote with the Republicans, which VIII
of course tie the JOINT session, aud ar
other all night meeting is very
probable unless there is an agreement
reached to defer action upon the matter
until a future time, after q certain num-
Der OF ballots have been gone through
with. During the interval elapsing
since the last joint session, various ma
nouvres have been going on, on both
sides OF the political fence, but whether
anything OF a definite nature has been
accomplished or not, must be reserved
for the ballotinG to show.
Whether the Republicans will renew
their attempt, made SO persistently at
the last session, to force the election OF
a Market Master for the Second ward
before going into the Gas Board cleo
ton, could not be ascertained. 1t Is an
open secret that the Republicans had a
deal made st the last joint session, by
the terms of which they were
sure to elect the Market Mas
ter had they reached ballot,
but the Democrats knew this, and suc-
ceeded, by adroit m%anonverIng, in
getting the Gas Board election in ahead
Of the other, thus breaking up the
combination which had been formed.
A big lobby is to be looked for Tuesday
evening, and there may be some sur
prises before the session is over.
