An addition has just been made to
the show at the Crystal Palace in the
shape of what is described as a talking
and thought-reading horse. Mazeppa
seems to be able to do anything but
talk. and by means of her feet and
head TO answer any questions put TO
her either by her trainer, IL. S.
Mcclure, or any of the audience. She
first starts counting four by striking
the ground four times, and then goes
through a simple examination in addi-
tion, multiplication, and subtraction
with perfect accuracy. After calling
for the number of days in a week, the
number of months in year, and the
day of the month. Mr.. Mcclure asked
how many days in the week she desired
to work, and her vigorous shake Of
the head TO indicate none caused con-
siderable amusement. She also adds
up a four-line sum, dictated from the
audience, and written on n black board
tells the time by different watches, and
performs many other remarkable feats,
which bear testimony to the training
powers of her owner, who was loudly
applauded at the close OF the enter
taipment. London Standard,

Mystery of Indian Corn.

The Indian corn, or maize, was first
found under cultivation by the ma
tives. It's origin has never been de-
termined beyond all question though
many ingenious guesses have been cur
rent. DIR. John w. Harshberger, of
the University of Pennsylvania, has
recently made botanical aud econo-
mical study of the plant, and contends
that its original native home must have
been, "in all probability, north Of the
Isthmus Of Tehuantepec aud south of
the twenty. y.second degree north lati-
tude, near theancient seat OF the II wa
tribes. New York Independent,

dreaded the result of such strain
upon Selma with her sensitive, emo.
tional nature.
'Release me, Selma, and L will with

raising my head.
But as my eyes met her bright ones
delicious sensation stole over me.
My spirits rose with a jump. The
heavy oppression was withdrawn. 1
only realized that Selma was before
me-bright, beautiful, enhancing.
My tongue was now free, and in the
most eloquent language l poured out
the story of my passion. 1 even rose
from my chair and advanced to her
side. She was still sitting motionless,
with her hands hanging listlessly by
her side. She answered my questions

There was no animation or emotion in
her words or voice. She was en-
tranced, hypnotized.
recoiled from her. The truth
flashed across my mind in an instant.
At my bidding she had reliquished her
subtle power over my mind, but in my
enthusiasm had forgotten to release
her. From partial state of hypno-
tism she had then rapidly fallen into
totally quiescent, passive condition. 1
had unconsciously taken undue advan-
tage of her and obtained her mechani-
cal confessions of love. The thought
filled me remorse and disquietude.
1 turned from her and bowed my
head on my hands. The whole nights
experience had been disagreeable and
even horrible to me. l vowed that it
would be the last time 1 should ever
tamper with hypnotism or other un-
seen mental forces. 1 dreaded to look
around and see what effect the whole
occurrence had upon Selma. She was
quiet and immovable, but her hard
breathing fell monotonously upon my
ears.
"Selma," 1 said, finally, turning to
her, ''let us never try this experiment
again.
She looked up at me and shuddered.
She was now in her normal condition.
The feverish brilliancy of her eyes had
disappeared.
"No, never" she murmured. at

dream. But it was a delicious dream,
or at least part of it. 1 thought
that"
A flush tinged her cheeks, and she
dropped her eyes.
"What, Selma?" asked.
''Nothing, except that we were to-
gether, and that was happy"
She remembered nothing. Her con-
fessions of love were secret with me.
With them still ringing in my ears, !

Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1894-03-16

The Rutland Herald recently asked the
town clerks of the several towns in the
State whether they thought the majority
of the voters in their towns preferred
the present town road and school laws
to the old laws. Seven of the town
clerks of Addison county say "yes" as
to the school law and six of them "no" ;
while eight answer the query as to
roads in the affirmative and six in the
negative. OF the l53 answers received
regarding the school law, IS are affirma-
tive and 65 negative; as to the road law,
SO are affirmative and 80 negative. These
replies are of course based on nothing
more substantial than the opinions of
the Individual clerks and are only to
that extent valuable. They do show,
however, that according to the iudg-
ments of these officials the two new
laws, radical as they were, find more
supporters than opponents, even though
they have been in operation hardly long
enough to demonstrate their merits.
The thing to be sought for now would
appear to be letting-alone of both
these laws till people get fully accus-
iomed to them and find out what they
really amount to. The curse of the
schools in recent years has been the
everlasting tampering with the laws
governing them.
