Duality OF the Mind.

The idea is held by DR.. B. w
Richardson that the two lobes OF the
cerebrum give every person two dis
tinct brains, and that any congrega

at twice its individual number before
its mental constitution and strength
can be properly appraised. The two
brains are never exactly balanced
They sometimes work together, some

SHRlNKAGES IN 1893.
The Crisis Has Passed and the Pro.
cess OF RecuPeratfOn Is Mt Work.

Shrinkage in values, says The Age o.
Steel, epitomizes the commercial anG
and industrial history of 1898. 1t has
been general and without respect ol
persons and places, the waistband
tightening everywhere.
In the output of iron the curtail.
ment has approximated 40 per cent
leather and shoes, about 80 per cent
heavy woolen goods, 80 per cent, and
some branches of cotton goods, 10 pei
cent. In prices, the rule has been re-
duction. Pig iron, steel billets and
rails have been in the toboggan slide,
the first reaching a lower notch by
about 20 to 25 per cent, billets keep
ing in close company, and rails nomi-
nally about II per cent. Cotton and
wool show a 20 per cent. reduction.
Grain and food stuffs have had a zero
tendency. from oats to pork and lard
and sugar. AS panic period, the net
losses in finance, commerce and indus
try are placed as being the most Sc.
we're OF any like scare in 80 years. In
the first IL months Of the year the
falling off in bank clearings represents
the enormous volume of $4,000, 600, )
600. The liabilities of suspended
banks in the same period were %
times in excess of the same period in
1892. The liabilities OF other suspend
ed business institutions, in comparison
with the same date, show an increase
of 400 per cent. In exports, domestic
and foreign, the decrease was 8 pei
cent, and in imports about 6 per cent.
In the number of wage-earners en-
ployed in 1892, the shrinkage approx
mates 100000. The net loss in bust.
ness by competent observers is esti-
mated at about 81, ,OOO,O0O,OOO.
These figures are simply enormous,
and evidence the severity of the crisis
through which the nation has not al.
together yet made its way. According
to the law of extremes, reaction, if not
immediate, is certain. The process oi
recuperation is at work, with this favor

1t is calculated that in 174S nearly
100000 Africans were shipped from
the west coast. The number exported
during the century are said to have
been something like 100000. That
does not mean OF course that all were
safely delivered. Many-of the goods
were damaged before they were
shipped, for each OF the innumerable
petty trading ports along the coast
had its bonded and stockaded ware
house, which was fetid and deadly
poison. There the ill-fated captives
awaited the arrival of ship. The
overcrowding. the short commons, the
epidemics and the lingering deaths

somnambultsm Extraordinary.

The London News reports one of the
most remarkable cases of somnambu.
lism on record. 1t is that of young
ecclesiastic in Roman Catholic sem.
mary in England. 1t was was discov-
cred that the young man was accus-
toned to get up in the night and
write sermons while asleep. The
bishop of the diocese became very
much interested in the case, and many
times went to the young mans room
in the night and saw him write ser
mons with his eyes shut. The young
man would write page and then read
it aloud, and when it did not suit him
would correct it with great care and
exactitude. He also wrote music and
letters in the same state. Numerous
experiments were tried upon the sub.
ject to determine whether he was &C
tually asleep, and they all showed tha,
he was.

SHAWNEE DEMOCRATS.


They Have an Old-FashlOned Time at Their
County Convention.
Anyone who happened 10 be within
ear shot Of the court house in Topeka
last Saturday could easily have told
that there were some democrats alive
and kicking in this county. It was the
occasion OF their county convention, and
they had q lively time. The net result
was that they elected delegates to their
state and congressional conventions, sat
on the Cleveland administration and the
Kansas stalWarts by indOrsing Frank
Thomas and disspproving Of his removal
from the Topeka poBtmRstoEShip, and
then read Eugene Hagan, the boss stall
wart Of this bailiwiok, clear out OF the
party. It was q sight calculated 10 re-
call the days Of long ago when parliA-
mentsry uSageS out a small figure in
convention.
The delegates spoke their sentiments
without fear or favor, and sometimes
without regard to courtesy or personal
feelings II one wanted to dispute what
another said, he called him Q liar, and
the chances were to / the compliment
would be returned without hesitation.
There were the usual disssntions and
accusations Of packing the convention,
but oil agreed on the Endorsement Of
Frank Thomas and Senator Martin. A
resolution TO indorse Cleveland was
voted down almost unanimously. After
Frank Thomas had succeeded in "vindi-
eating" himself, he brought up the same
resolution, and had 1t passed. Another
motion to instruct the delegates FOR
David OVsrmyer was lost.
Mrs. A. Fl. Case and several other
ladies were given permission to address
the delegates on the suffrage question,
but they did not seem to make many
converts. L. A. StebbinS spoke In favor
Of the civil service rules, bat he was
equally unsuccessful.

evidence to prove the truth Of the
charges.
