FRAUDS EXPOSED
Some of the Tricks Of So Called Mind
Readers Solved by DIR. Hyslop.

Readers Solved by DIR. Hyslop.
d. Hyslop of Columbia college, says
q writer in the Boston Herald, has help
ed to bring down several SO called mind
readers who have visited New York.
The Taylors, a man and woman who
gave exhibitions in New York two
years ago and convinced nearly every
one who saw them of the ge~nuineness of
their manifestations, gaveA private Sc
ance for the benefit of this Columbia
professor and some Of his scientific
friends. They found hidden objects,
they picked out cards that had f.,en se-
lected from o pack and then shuf1ed in
again, and all the other familiar tricks,
with more than common success, Of
them staying in the oom n being in
the secret, and the other coming in aft
er all was ready and supposedly read
ing the partners mind.
All went well until DR.. Hyslop and a
confederate took the Taylors aback by
announcing that they could do the same
things. They had found that the words
used by one Of tho mind readers in
calling the other into the room were
what gave the desired information. Ii
was discovered that by skillful arrange
meEt of not more than six words a sur
prising amount of information could be
conveyed. This is the first time the fact
that the Taylors were not genuine mind
readers has been made public.
Another mind reader exposed by
On. Hyslop and coinvestigators was
Guibal, who gave exhibitions in New
York recently and astonished hundreds
OF persons, most Of whom suppose 10
this day that his tricks were bona ide
psychic phenomena. Guibal's assistant
was q woman called Greville, who sat
ON the stage. and who, so far as could
be- seen for d long time. gave him abso-
lutely no sign Of what was in her mind.
Guibal apparently read that mind as IL
it were an open book. The whole thing
was found to bs a trick, and the expla-
nation ID now in the archives of the So
ciety for Psychical Research. ID is be-
lieved thar Guibal and Greville were
tho same persons whose performances
had amazed London not long before.
The woman breathed very heavily, and
the code Of signals lay in the manner Of
her breathing, messages being conveyed
by long and short breaths, something
like the dots and dashes In the Morse
telegraph code.

be destroyed by fire. 1t is a saw
ings bank which never breaks, and
t pays large interest to it's deposit
tors. 1t has been truly said that
real estate is the basis Of all
wealth, and he or she who possesses
it, be the quantity ever sc small,
has something tangible on which
to rely in times of adversely, as it
always has a fixed value, which
cannot be said of p~erishable prop
erty.
The owner of a piece of real es-
tate is the owner of a
HON e,
or that out of which he or she can
make a home at pleasure, and the
time is not far distant when the
owner of a home will be independ-
emit indeed as well in this country
as it now is in foreign countries.
Every person expects to be the
owner of q home sometime, but
he masses of the people let the
opportunity for securing a home
pass unheeded, and soon prices and
terms of payment are beyond their
reach, and the consequence is they
live and die without a home, as
poor when they leave the world as
when they entered it, never having
acquired a portion of the earth as
their own, when a little exercise of
good Judgment at the opportune
time, and a small outlay, would
have secured to them a good home,
and the money which they spend
for rent during their lifetime
could be applied to the comforts
and enjoyment of life, or laid by
for a "rainy day"
They who arrive at the shady
side" of life

are indeed to be pitied. Contrast
the condition of the person who
owns his w home with the one
who rents. Which will you select9
You a have either condition; it
remains for you to decide. The
~isest and most prosperous people
in this country are purchasing all
the real estate their mean will
admit of, and are advising their
friends to do likewise. A very
intelligent and wealthy old gen.
tleman who resides in Illinois, and
who has travelled extensively and
been very observing, wrote us a
few days ago, and in his letter he
said:
Real estate in your section of
country must very soon be in &C
tive demand at much advanced
prices, as all of the good, cheap
lands are gone, and your lands
must command prices equal to
those of thestates just east Of you,
and your cities, especially such
BUSINESS centers as Madison, must
grow rapidly and city lots advance
in value accordingly. [ look upon
investments in real estate in your
locality as the best that can be
made at this time"
Opinions coming from men OF
this character are IF value and
should be needed.
Ii the possession of a home were
not within your reach, how earnest
would be your wish that it was
and how great your anxiety to b
the happy possessor of a piece OF

While there is now a most favor
able opportunity for securing such
a home, do you know that this OPP
