She rooled tho Fond Females.

The most remarkable trial on record
was that of Mary Hamilton, an English
woman, who was brought into court ON
Oct. Z, 1746. She was one of the greatest
frauds of the day, having succeeded in de-
luding her own sex in most extraordi-
nary manner 1t being clearly proved at
the trial that she had at different times
and places married not less than IA other
women of various ages.

There is gambling in Chicago-no

"Will you let us have the directory

condition all week. The Southern

not yet been able to get a train
through the Flint Hills. On Monday
it took the west bound passenger on
that road three hours and a half to
get from LaHarpe to lola, with two
engines. and it took it twelve hours
to get from here to Yates Center. The
train men and passengers had moth

freight service on both roads was
practically abandoned for the first
three days of the week.

they broke into chorus of jS.::ous brnys,
the like of which was never heard from
mules before
after q quarter of an hour of that
music they took to kicking, jumping,

stances which prove that their occult
powers are of no use to themselves The
rule is not invariablc, for there have
been great wizards like Paracolsus, Roy

who were acknowledged by those who
consulted or feared them to bo i'll all

ono who possesses reading glass and u

that is not too brightly illuminated pin
a sheet of white paper Oh tho wall oppo-
sito to window that by preference
should face tho north or away from tho
position Of tho sun. Taking first tho
reading glass, hold it between tho Will
dow and tho wall parallel to tho sheet
of paper and u foot or moro distant from
the latter. BY moving it to and fro q
little you will DO able to find IL distance
corresponding to the focal length of tho
lens, at which q picture of tho window
is formed on the paper. This picture,
or image, will DO upside down because
the rays Of light cross at the focus By
moving the glass littlo closer to the
wall you will cause tho picture of tho
window to become indistinct, while q
beautiful image of the houses, trees OF
other objects of tho outdoor world be-
yond will bo formed upon tho paper.
We thus learn that tho distance of tho
image from the lens varies with tho dis
TANGO of the object whose image is form
ed. In precisely similar manner an
imngo is formed ut the focus Of tho OBJ
ject glass of a refracting telescope.
Take next your magnifying OF con-
cave mirror, and dotaching tho sheet of
paper from tho wall hold it nearly in
front of the mirror between tho latter
and the window. When you have adj
justed tho distance to tho focal length
of the mirror, you will SEQ an image Of
the window projected on tho paper. By
varying the distance as before you will
be ablo to produce at will pictures of
