TO HAVE THREE EYES.

Developed Human Beings About to
Appear, According to Theosophists.
From the Chicago Herald.
In her lectures In this country the Count
ess Wachtmeister, next to Annie Besant
the most famous Of women theosophists
and for many years the most intimate COM
panion Of Mime. Blavatsky, has said con-
stantly that the sixth race is preparing to
appear and that 1t would make its appear
ance in America. 1t Is not at all new
among theosophists, this idea that the sixth
race Is about to appear, but 1t has not be-
come generally known outside Of the soci-
ETY.. The lectures of the Countess Wacht-
meister have called popular attention to 1t.
New Yorh's foremost and most learned
theosophist. William G. Judge, today gave
some suggestion Of the person al appearance
and characteristics Of the sixth race. which
will have men thlrty-three feet tall, who
will wear no clothes and will weigh a ton.
Mr.. Judge explained that theosophic philos-
ophy divided life on this globe into seven
races, or seven great families Of people.
This septer,nary division is an assertion
based upon rules of nature which have been
remarked by sages of all ages. Each race
is marked by the development Of a sense
which the previous race had not at all or
possessed only in q rudimentary degree.
The theosophists believe that America will
because here are gathered people from all
nations Of the globe. The amalgamation Of
different people Is here more complete. 1t
Is held that preparations for the coming of
the new race have been going on for some
time. Mr.. Judge thinks that the first of
the new race will be looked upon as being
eccentric, cranky and abnormal, but they
will soon be in the majority. The theoso-
phists say that the first race was not sep
arated into sexes and that the individuals
had two spinal cords. and in the sixth age.
when the race is approaching Its perfection
upon this globe individuals will again have
two spinal cords In the seventh race sex
will disappear altogether.
With regard to the personal appearance
Of individuals of the sixth race Mr.. Judge
says frankly his opinion can be taken for
nothing more than q guess. but 1t is a guess
based upon philosophic study and many
hours reflection. To begin with. Mr.. Judge
thinks that the individuals Of the sixth race
will be thirty-two feet tall on an average
They will have a third eye just above the
forehead, which will possess ever 30 much
more power than eyes now have. They will
appear in a luminous atmosphere personal
to themselves, discarding trousers, waist
coats. shoes, frocks and bonnets. The men
will have no boards. They will have fine,
noble features and thin, silky, flowing hair
The individuals will live 1000 years.

More Boys Than Girls Stutter.

From the Boston Transcript.
The report Of the director Of physical
training in the Boston schools for the pres
ent year has some interesting statements
in regard to suffering among school chill
dren. After remarking that the suffering
nabit almost always proceeds from lack of
control Of the breath for speech on the part
Of the subject, the report goes on to say
that efforts to cure suffering are largely
wasted unless the central breathing mus
Giles are first set right. Successful treat
ment begins with gymnastic exercise Of the
breathing muscles, and later deals with the
development of normal habits Of action,
first In the muscles of phonation, and then
in those Of articulation. In other words,
successful treatment is the application of
the principles OF physical training. 1t is
cafe to say that out of every 1000 children
in the Boston schools, Z stutter or stammer
or all boys in the schools, LIP per cent are
Sufferers, while only 40 per cent of all
girls stutter This is in accord with OBJ
servations Of European experts, who say
that three or four times as many boys as
girls stutter habitually. Boston schools
show a smaller proportion Of Sufferers
than German and Russian schools.

humble gratitude and shambled Off on to
the road he proceeded to leave hieroglyphics
upon some prominent-displayed surface like
a gate post. fence rail or flat, stationary
rock along the roadside near the entertain
er's house. which conveyed to every other
tramp coming that way that good cheer in
profusion awaited his asking at yonder
kitchen door.
If the first conner has been fired out or
chewed up by the dog, what then? He
would have left an indelible warning to
that effect in the same manner that would
have caused all his brethren who might fol-
low to quicken their steps in passing such
a dangerous dwelling.
That is the language spoken Of at the be-
ginning Of this article-the language Of the
great army Of worthless hulks Of humanity.
derelicts in the path Of decency, who Meth
er toll nor spin; who are too cowardly to
steal when there is any possible chance of
their mourning personal danger and who
conf1ne their peculations largely to the
lunch barkets Of frightened school children,
and who shuttle up and down the roads and
lanes Of the country and the back streets
and alleys Of cities preying on the sympa-
thies Of the pitiful and eking out an exis-
tence appalling in its utter uselessness.
These professional tramps have a system of
signs and signals which they leave In their
wake and which are understood by every
member of the multitude which is COM
prised within their fraternity. A small
diamond-shaped chalk drawing on a fence
or gate post near house is a gladdening
sight TO the eyes OF Moist Mike or Hungry
Henry. 1t means that the residents are
full of the milk Of human kindness and
will give food or other assistance when ask
ed, without question.
The simple sign Of the cross on the other
hand warns the tramp to pass the house
as Its occupants are cold and unsympa-
thetic, and have no ears to lend to the
plant Of poverty, either real or assumed.
The triangle pointed downward indicates
that the house 1t refers to has been pretty
steadily visited by tramps and that its
people may have become tired Of the con-
tinued assaults upon pantry and patience,
but that no harm could ensue from a trial.
cross within a circle suggests a proper
line of procedure to him who tramps and
reads. 1t tells the nomad to go to the house
and be Undetermined sinner Of a deep
religious turn and speak Of holy things, and
assures him that such hyprocisy will be
we'll repaid by the really pious people with
In. A square with one corner cut off
makes the average tramp shudder. It
means that the house In sight is occupied
by people who believe in the dignity of la
Dor and that If he wishes to get assistance
from them he must work for 1t. There are
only q few cases on record where a tramp
has approached a house pointed out by
such a mark, and these prove that sudden
insanity does not discriminate among class
es in attacking society. He also makes q
detour around the house, whose Ratepost
