a RAINY DAY.

It rains. What lady loves "a rainy day?
Not she who puts ~pranella on her foot,
Zcphyrs around her neck and silken socks
Upon a graceful ankie-nor she who
Sports her tasseled parasol along
The walks, beau crowded, on some sunny noon.
Or trips in muslin on a winters night
On a cold sleighride To n distant ball.
She loves a rainy day who sweeps the hearth
And threads the busy needle, or applies
The scissors TO the torn or t~hreadbare sleeve;
Who blesses God that she has friends and
home:
Who in the pelting of the storm viii think
OF some poor neighbor hat she can befriend;
Who trims the lamp at night and reads aloud
To a Young hro.acr tales he loves to hear,
Or ventures c~heerfully abroad TO watch
The bedside OF some sick and suffering friend.
Administering that best of medicine
Kindness. tender care and cheering hope;
Such are not sad. cen on a rainy day.

Gelatin Models of Fish.

In the Office Of the New Light company
are displayed several samples Of the mod
els Of Maine fish which are TO be exhib-
tied at Chicago. These models are made
Of gelatin. of life size from living mod
els, and painted so accurately that the
oldest angler would be deceived. a vet
eran fisherman. who saw the models last
evening, could hardly believe that the
skins of the fish had not been put on over
the gelatin forms.
The most striking model is that OF q
9-pound square tailed spotted brook

represented are o large pickerel, q fine
yellow perch, a white perch and q men

SHE HAS THE GRIP.
Annie Besant Fully Accredited for
RECOGNITION i'm India.


Local theosophists have been specializing
on the purport OF the following dispatch
from New York:
Colonel Olcott writes 10 the Telegram under
Madras date regarding The successor of Nine.
Blayatsky as the head OF the Til osopbical So
ciety that he Will recognize no one IN that capa-
city, "unless | should receive two certain pass
words. which years ago. In anticipation of bogus
messages and false messengers, were given 10

means OF Identifying The real from pretended
orders and messages from any mahatma TO

Blavasky's vacant seat had only 10 give The re-
quiied proof TO be most cordially greeted.
Aud the question has bobbed up Is Mrs.
Annie Besant possessed OF these secret
words " bich will alone entitle her to recog-
milton as Mme. Blavatsky's successor at the
headquarters OF the society in Iudia?

said Mrs Besant to THE CALL man who
questioned her on this point. II do not

and am 10 thorough accord with him. This

sary to my. recognition in India l am pos

DIR. Jerome A. Anderson of the local
Theosophlca Society said he had no reason
to doubt the truthfulness of the dispatch.
1t was a fact, he said, that during Nine
Blavatsky's life she aud Colonel Olcott had
agreed upon certain secret words without
knowledge OF which no one would be recog-
nzed In India as duly accredited.
That arrangement had been made to pre-
vent the various frauds who were springing
up here and there from succeeding in their
inimical Intentions. Nine. Biayatsky and
Colonel Olcott had organized the society and
brought 1t up through many trials and per-
secutons to a sound basis. they had with
stood the Misrepresentation OF so-called
spiritualists, and at last had concluded TO
require these secret words, or whatever the
token OF Identification might be, from all
who claimed to be adopts.

this is truth.
And that is why so many OF our people
are rather anxious to check than to spread

s'One of the Mahatmas, writing to Mr..

had no sympathy with this material
