A Story of International Interest

Boston Post
In the Seychelles Islands, north
west OF Madagascar, there was late
ly curious monument, consisting
of a square Of granite with turtle,
some fieurs-de-lys, and the word
Seychelles carved upon it, which
the French creOles called the "pierre
de possession" Its origin is I'M
known, but it is supposed to have
been a mark OF occupation set up
by the French before they were
driven out by the English, who
now own the islands. A short time
ago the monument disappeared,
and on investigation it was found
that 1t had been carried of to
France by the inspector general Of
the French troops in Madagascar,
who had visited the Seychelles
Archipelago and who intended to
give the stone to the Cluny mus
cum. The British officials tele-
graphed to have 1t returned and it
Is now on it's way back. The Brit
ish residents in the islands look on
the Incident as a hint that France
has not forgotten that she once
owned the archipelago and that
she may try to get it back in the
course Of her Madagascar enter
prise. Maize, the capital, is the
nearest telegraph station to the
French ports OF Diego Juarez and
Nossi-Be in Madagascar, and is to
be now the headquarters of a squad.

REsUREcrED MEMORY.

Phep omena of the Mind Subject to
a Thousand Exterior Influences.
From the Paris Revue des Revues.
From time TO time one reads In
the papers an account OF some In
dividual who, without any known
cause, abruptly leaves his business
and home and disappears without
leaving any trace; for some days
nothing is heard Of him then the
traveller returns, but is able to
give no account Of how he employ
I'd his time; he is like ono VINO
awakts aft. along dreamless sleep.
These individuals are often hys-
terIcs or -pIlpptic!. II tn y can be
by pnUtized, they must be put into
a sOmnambulic condition; in this
state they recall everything that
j had happened to them in their
strange journeys.
or late years many experiments
have been made with the "magic
mirrOr;" these experiments pro-
, duce phenomena similar to those
OF hypnotism. They consist in re-
garding fixrdly, for some moments
a somewhat brilliant surface, a
mirror some oil turned into plate,
or the surface OF some large crystal
at the end OF short time the per-
son mkaing the attempt sees i'm
ages on this brilliant surface
landscapes, battles, all sorts of
things. Here also, Is develop

recoIlections appear under the

Even in dreams something OF |
this kind occurs. Maury, who has
made such experimental study
Of dreams, relates that during a |
journey to a place where he had
passed his infancy, he one night |
dreamed that a person came to |
him; she told her name, and he |
recognized her for a person long
ago known TO him. On his arrival,
To his great astOnIShment he recOg-

gotten.
The preceding facts are sufficient |
to illustrate the phenomena OF |
resurrected memory. 1t remains
to show how tho phenomena can
be explained, or at least whether |
they may not be Invested of their |
miraculous character. We do not |
knew just what our memory con-
tains. erans" we can not recall at |

unlarI r,cUII- elton does not not |
give the measure OF our memory. |
In experimenting on this point |
we had list Of fifty words read to |
some one out of these one would be |
able TO repeat ten or twenty. On |
reading list Of sixty wordes, in |
which the forgotten thirty were in
serted iG was almost always the |
greater part of the thirty which
were remembered.
One might then say that there |
is only one row Of recollections
stored up in our minds which are |
at our dispOsals; the two other |
rows are stored up, but are not to |
be recalled at will. We can thus |
'ompr bend the phenomena Of the |
resurre /" n Of memories. II there |
is anything marvellous in these |
Phenomena, it is because it APP

Too Personal an Appeal.

An amusing story is told of a West
Walnut street young woman who, hay
ing read strange tales Of stunning in
London, determined to visit Philadel-
phia's own very tough slun district and
see what life there was like AS q sort
Of preliminary she supplied herself with
q number Of tracts having a vague idea
that the benighted residents there were
il need Of spiritual instruction. Board
ing a Seventh street car, she got of at
Bainbridge, and to the first man she
saw, who was leaning idly against
lamppost, she very politely handed one
of the tracts. He took it good Isltured-
" and after glancing at it returned it
with the smiling remark that he was q
married man. Greatly mystifod by this
expression, she looked at the tract and
saw that it was entitled Abide With
Ne. - She took the next car home, vow

Of our lnheri6ances from Old England
and it has to be drowned or buried.
England wants ''cheap things" to feed

must have cheap labor, for she makes

not for home consumption and that is
one OF the reasons why the rich get
richer and the poor get poorer over
there.

A CORES oondent of the World. re-

A correspondent of the World, re-
plying to some questions, writes as
follows:
There seems to be a difficulty in
answering the question, "Where did
Cain get his wife from?" And the
gentleman who asked it already sup
poses the whole Bible to be untrue.
The fact is that Cain married his sis
ter. Again, the gentleman says the
Bible does not record that Adam had
any daughters. Well, if the gentle
man will look close into the Bible ha
will find that there is not womanr.-
corded between Adam and Abraham.
Is it possible that in ten e nerations
not female was born, and if so.
where did all Of them get their wives?
Where did Noah get his wife? It is be-
cause the women of that time didn't
play any prominent part in the histo-
ry that they are not recorded. In the
$50 years which Adam is supposed to
have lived, it is very likely that he
had few daughters. Ihope that this
will settle Che question.
