The Power Of Thought.

Human beings often die from the
effects Of Imagination, said DIR. f..
T. Sinclair. "One case, we'll known
in medical annals, but which has
never been given general publicity,
is that Of Il condemned murderer
whom the Royal Medical Society OBJ
tanned the consent of the row to
experiment upon. He was to have
been hanged, but the day before the
execution he was told that instead Of
hanging he was TO be bled to death at
6 o'clock in the morning. At that
time physicians entered. The eyes
of the condemned man were band
aged. his head held over Il basin Of
water. \ sharp, quick stroke with a
knife. made over his temple, not
sufficient, however, to break the skin,
and IA physician dropped tepid water,
a drop at a time, upon the supposed
wound and from there into the basin.
In twenty minutes the man IA un-
conscious. and i'm an hour and a half
he was dead. The cases where lei
have had a premonition, which they
believed. that they would die at a GER
tain time, are explained usually upon
this principle. Premonitions Of this
kind are very apt TO prove fatal. and
then they are considered as occult
and mysterious. '-[St. Louis Globe

Bird SutcheV

Over five million birds are massa-
cred each ycM to plume the hats Of
womankind. Terms from Cape Cod,
black partridgeS, hoopoes, golden
orioles and blue jays, pretty Xiii
wakes from Sunday Island, cgrets
and herons from III southland and
bobolinks and rail birds from our
own fields and woods are murdered TO
feed the female passion for display.
The women OF the period will boot at
the Tamil and the Sinhalese for slit
ting their nostrils for the insertion Of
iewelry, but they will kill and multi
ate harmless carolerS that plumes
may dance from their bonnets.
In the ease Of the kittiwake, the
plumage is taken at a season when
the birds have hardly learned to fly,
and it is usual to teal off the wings
while the bird lives. Then there is
another side to the question. A
great deal Of arsenic is used in the
preparation Of these feathers, and the
eyes and nostrils of the carers are
exposed to danger. A more i'm
portant aspect of the case is that all
life depends or vegetable life. and
Michelet declares there can be no
vegetable life without bird life

a Youthful Crook.

A very young crook was before the
Police Court of New York the other
day. His name is Andrew Brust. and
he is not yet seven years old, but he
is so confirmed a kleptomaniac that
his father had to ask the Court to
have him confined. Ever since he
was old enough to walk Andrew has
been accustomed to steal any and
everything that he could carry of.
Sent to school he stole pencils, books,
handkerchiefs, hats, lunch baskets
and everything else that he could,
and showed no sort of shame when
detected. He would slip into the
houses Of the neighbors and carry off
their portable property. and would
even get out of bed in the night to
rife the pockets Of his father and
mother. He was committed TO the
Juvenile asylum.-INew Orleans Plea

Not till after the wholesale de-
struction Of the alligator has rem
dered them almost extinct did it
dawn upon mans intelligence that
this uncouth saurian has been OF ma
terial assistance to him by Destroy
ing large numbers of the smaller ami
mails which prey upon field and garden
crops. This fact is coming 10 be
recognized in Florida, and also in
Louisiana. The following on the
subject is from the agricultural col
umns of the Times-Democrat:
The demand for alligator skins at
the North, where they are tanned
n made into v~alises, satchels,
pocketbooks, etc, has caused them
to be hunted so closely that il has
almost resulted in their entire de-
struction. Before the demand arose
for their hides the bays and bayous
of Louisiana were full OF the saurians,
which did no particular damage ex-
cept in catching II stray pig or eur
dog, but otherwise they were not
supposed to be of any value at all.

dill-dAoI IL was HOiiIfI tlldl liItIt
was IA marked increase in the number
OF other mischievous animals espec-
tally in the rice fields Of Plaquemine
Parish. The muskrat increased 10
such an extent that it was almost i'm
possible TO keep up the leveS which
were built for the purpOs2 OF keeping
the water on the rice dUring the grow
ing season. The damage caused by
the rats burrowing through the m
bankments necesSitated constant
watchfulness and entailed much hard
labor, either in rebuilding them en-
tire or in digging out the burrows and
filling in with solid earth. The ro-
dents also infect the front l%evCes,
honeycombing them in every direc-
ton, necessitating constant attention
TO avert the disastrous consequences
resulting from IA crevaSse.
Truck farmers i'm the lower part
Of Plaquemine have also complained
that since the determination of the
alligator that the common rabbit, the
raccoon and other wild animals have
increased largely, and that the rab-
bit especially has proved very de-
structive to cauli1ower. cabbage and
lettuce; in fact, our informant said
that if these animals continued TO IN
rease he would be compelled to erect
ii woven-wire fence around his truck
farm or abandon the culture of some
of his most profitable vegetables.
Several years since the police jury
of the parish of Plaquemine passed
an ordinance forbidding the killing
of the alligator, and with their IN
crease came Il corresponding decrease
in the number Of destructive vcrmin.
We understand that the law has since
been repealed. For what reason we
do not know"

The Churches To-Day.

Confidently with the soulful Easter ser.
vices of those churches which observe
with especial honor the festival com
memoratlve of the Resurrection, we are
to have here in Richmond the first of the
meetings for which mammoth
tabernacle has been erected. 1t happens,
however. that Mr. Moody cannot be pres
ent till tomorrow, and others will con-
duct the initial services.
Mr.. Moody is a man who has great
power of speech. Wherever he goes vast
audiences await him. Much of his sue
cess is in his ability to illustrate Bible
truths in a homely, hearty. wholesome
his hearer, and then TO make a lasting
impression upon 1t. So far as We know
OF him, he Is not given TO accusation and
denunciation. 1t is no part Of the plan OF
his work to come into a community to
stir up strife, while with those good peo-
pie who are not of his way Of thinking
he Is respectful and considerate.
Richmond will, therefore. give Mr.
Moody a welcome which she would giva
no evangelist Of unbridled tongue-no
man who attempts 10 teach Christianity
without having first learned for himself
the lessons of love and charity.
Ever since Richmond-in it's early be-
ginning-had two parsons ana never a
church" our people have taken great
pride In making good their claim that
nowhere does greater love exist than here

keep watch over this good name. which
is precious heritage from our fathers,
and which It should be our constant
effort to preserve.
