are generally convinced of the wisdom of
their present choice and all unwilling to
risk their party chances by division of
votes.

A PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON.
The Peculiar sIanner In Which Approxi
 ,,,~t, rir,na Mar F.. A.rn-tnino.i

The Peculiar Manner Tn Which Approxi-
 msto Time May Ee ascertaincd.
 Actual and repeated experiments have shown that the nearest horr of tho day or night may be ascertsincd in tho fol lowing very curious wa-:
 Make small running loop in piece os sewing thread aboSt foot in.length. place a shilling ia this loop, sec that the coin is accurately bisected by the thread and then draw the loop tight up, so that the shilling is firmly slIng at one end of the thread. Put on solid table glass tumbler with a fairly wide mouth. Rest your right elbow on the taale in c firm and easy position so cs to avoid any shakiness in your land, hold the other end of the thread between your first finger and the "ball'' of your thumb i. C., the fleshy top joint cf the thumb so that the thumb nail Is under,aost and Q few inches above the middle of the mouth of the glass.
 Now, if you keep your hand quite steady, the movement of the coin, which is hanging inside the tumbler, will be- come less and less until the shilling is motionless. Then. in half a minute o.. So, very slight and regular vibration will commence, the coin oscillating from side to side like pendulum and grad ually increasing the length of movement until it gently strikes the sides of the glass. This strike goes on in the ncss regular and automatic way-frst on ono side of the glass and then on the other until, say, eight strokes have been struck Tho vibrations of the coin then diminish in length until the suspended shilling again becomes motionless and hangs in the middle of the tumbler. You look at your watch and find that o'clock is the nearest hour!
 I have tried this over and over again, deliberately setting about the experiment without bias or any intention of inf1u- encing the swingof the coin and also be- ing ignorant of the time, and when my hand has been steady the right time has invariably been struck.
 There Is something very curious about this phenomenon; whether the thread is influenced by the pulse in the "ball' of the thumb or whether there is some un- conscious transference of intention" from the brain to the thread do not know, but in any case the matter is suffi- ciently interesting to be worthy of a critical test by persons who will care fully, and without bias, carry out this singular experiment of telling the time London Tit-Bits.

The water-Piatinum Pyrom.t.r.

Experiments made with the water-plat- mum pyrometer on the boilers of the Pacific mills, Massachusetts, have exhib- ited some important practical results. It was found that in the heart of an an- thracite coal fire the temperature marked 2, ,426 degrees, while at the bridge wall it was 1,341 degrees, S95 at the entering tubes and 373 at the leaving tubes. In this case 20 pounds of air were supplied per pound of coal, usually, however, this amount being greater and having the eff feet of reducing the temperature. The method of making the tests was to heat platinum balls in crucible placed at the point where the temperature is desired, these, when heated, being removed and submerged in water. The weight of the platinum being known and the weight of the water, it is easy to figure from the specific heats of the water and platinum, and the increase in temperature the wa ter shows by immersing the balls, just how high the temperature of the balls must have been.-New York Sun.

Girls Who Hypnotixe.

Two pretty girls sat opposite me at luncheon the other day, two healthy, hearty, rosy, daintily dressed creatures, who are very pretty disciples of Mesmer and understand the force of hypnotic suggestion. When the meal was over and we slipped our coffee in the drawing room, these sisters gave an exhibition of their powers quite terrible to see, since some of their manifestations were really inexplicable. They found and re- placed in selected spot in my head a hairpin l had secreted between the leaves of book, and they came and went from wide eyed dreaminess to active intelli- gence as easily as I pass in and out a door. They are two young English girls who have made of mind reading and mesmerism a study and a livelihood. They are the daughters of a clergyman, we'll bred and refined, and receive so much to come to a luncheon and exhibit their powers after For compensation they will put one into gentle mesmeric trance that one may experience the strange sensation, or they will use hyp- notic influence on each other, and the one under the spell will do all sorts of interesting things by her sisters silent mental suggestion. n.-Demorest's Masa- zine,

 But what shall we do with the palm branch? That We will put in the hand of the generation coming on. Yours is to be the generation for victories. The last and the present generation have been perfecting the steam power, and the electric light, and the electric forces, To these will be added transportation. It will be your mission to use all these forces. Everything is ready now for you to march right up and take this world for God and heaven. Get your heart right by repentance and the pardoning grace of the Lord Jesus, and your mind right by eleyating books and pictures, and your body right by gymnasium and field exercise, and plenty of ozone and by looking as often as you can upon the face of mountain and of sea Then start. !. In Gods name, start! And here is the palm branch. From conquest to con quest, move right on and right up You will soon have the whole field for your self Before another 20 years have gone, We will be out of the pulpits, and the offices, and the stores, and the factories, and the benevolent institutions, and you will be at the front. Forward into the battle! If God be for you. who can be against you? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?''
 And, as for us who are now at the front, having put the garland on the grave of the last generation, and having put the palm branch in the hand of the coming generation, we will cheer each other in the remaining onsets and go in- to the shining gate somewhere about the same time, and greeted by the gener- ation that has preceded us we will have to wait only little while to greet the generation that will come after us. And will not that be glorious? Three genera tions in heaven together-the grandfa- ther, the son and the grandson; the grandmother, the daughter and the granddaughter. And so with wider range and keener faculty we shall real ize the full significance of the text, "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh. '"

A Much Robbed Stayecoach.

There is today in Phoenix, A. T. ~4 stagecoach that has been held up and robbed oftener than any other in exist ence. It has seen its best days and now stands dismantled and dilapidated in the backyard of livery stable, but could it talk many are the tales it could tell of brigandage that would lay the exploits of Claude Duval in their shadow.
 It began running in the seventies be- tween Prescott and Tombstone and has actually been robbed 83 times. Eight drivers and as many express messengers have been killed from it's box. and as passengers in those days went armed to defend themselves and property, not a few fatalities have occurred among them and the brigands. It was originally a handsome Concord coach, pulled by eight mules, and cost $1 800 at Tucson, but its sides gre now split by rife and pistol bull lets, and in more than one place the leath- CT lining shows the wild stroke of bowie knife.-Los Angeles Herald.
 Gladstone's Retirement Is Final.
 Our Chester correspondent states that the reports current that Mr. Gladstone will resume his interest in political con- cerns, should the operation on his eyes prove successful, is unfounded. Mir. Gladstone's withdrawal from public life is final. Yesterday some little stir was caused at the castle by the arrivah of three large furniture vans containing for the most part Mir. Gladstone's things from the prime minister's official resi- dence in Downing street. Extensive al- terations are being carried out at tho castle. No doubts are entertained there that Mir. and Mrs. Gladstone's stay at the castle will, after their return at Whitsuntide, he permanent. London Standard.

GOOD WORD FOR AMERICANS.
Credit Giycn Them as Being the Kind
 Hest Race In the World.


 Hest Race In the World.
 Take them as a whole, the Americans are the kindliest race on the face of the i earth. In spite of their eagernoss, their push, their desire to bei the front rank at all times and all seasons, the true American seldom fails in kindness He wants badly to prevent any one getting ahead of him mentally, physically and morally but if his competitor falls in the struggle he will make untold sacrifices to help him up The rule in American busi- ness Is pure cutthroat competition carried to its logical conclusion. You arc OK pected to press and push every point as far as it can possibly be pushed and pressed, and no one is expected to consider whether in making a commercial coup you will not ruin Brown, Jones and Robinson. The moment, however, that Brown, Jones or Robinson actually goes under he is treated with the utmost generosity and consideration.
 The hand which struck him down is in- stantly stretched forth to help him, and as much care and trouble are used to put him on his feet once again as were origi- nally employed to knock him off them. In social intercourse this kindness and sun niness is specially attractive The Ameri- can will take infinite pains to make the merest stranger happy. He is courteous and pleasant spoken, not, like the French man, from convention, but from the sense of pleasure which his instinctive optimism teaches him to diffuse. His optimism has even proved strong enough to break down the shyness which naturally belongs to the English race. One secs no doubt sur vivals of it in the American, but in most cases the sense that all is for the best in tho best possible of worlds has mastered it altogether. Spectator.
