She Jumps Her Horse over Dining
Table.
A late sensation in Paris was tho re-
suit OF a novel bet made between two
leading lights OF the fashionable jockey
club IN that city. 1t came about In this
way. During dinner given in honor
Of the winner Of the grand autumn
races, the guests began 20 tell stories
of Cine horscmanship. An elderly of
ficcr present said that he thought the
young men of the generation did not
ride so well as they did in the good old
DAYS This led To an animated dispute,
which ended by Max Lebaudy Offering
70 bet that he knew n lady rider that
could do anything with a horse that
any man of this or any other genera
ton had done.
The old officer accepted the bet, stip-
ulating that tho lady should ride her
horse into the banquet hall, and take
flying leap over the table without dis
turbing or touching the wine bottles,
flowers or anything else on the table.
Nobody dreamed that the bet would
be accepted.
II was done, however, and next even
ing, when the same party was gathered
around the festive board, the event
took place. The world famous eques-
tricnne, Camilla Won Wahlburg Snounted
on her favorite full-blooded Arabian
horse, and attired in the regular rid
ing habit suddenly appeared In the
door OF the dining-room. With CHEEKY
''Good evening, gentlemep," she gave
the spur 10 her animal, and, before the
thoroughly surprised and amazed din
ers had time 10 collect their thoughts,
she had been carried over the table
In the most graceful and approved
fashion by her spirited horse. Not
even the filled wine glasses were Jared,
and Max won his bet, and the crowd
did homage 10 and toasted the dashing

Uncanny Result OF AN Experiment In
Hypnotism Made by y Paris Doctor.
A series Of very wonderful expert
ments which have just been concluded
by DR. Luys, OF Paris, whose obscrva-
ti.ns and discoveries in connection
with magnetism and electricity In re-
lation TO hypnotism made profound
impression upon the scientific world
some time ago, has led 20 rcmnrlSa-
bic result The latest discovery, says
the London Telegraph, establishes the
fact that a cerebral activity can be
transferred 20 crown OF magnstized
iron. in which the activity can be re-
tnincd and subsequently passed on 20
n second person. Incredible as this
may seem, DIR. Luys has proved It's pos
ability 10y tho experiments just re-
fcrred 20. lie placed the crown, which
In reality Is only circular band OF
magnetizcd iron, on the head OF n fe-
male patient suffering from Nolan
cholin, with q mania for selt-dcstruc-
ton, and with such success was the
ewperimcnt attended that within a
fortnight the patient could be allowed
TO 90 free without danger, the crown
having absorbed all her marked ten
denotes About two weeks afterwnrd
he put the same crown, which mean
while had been carefully kept free
from contact with anything else, on
the head Of n male patient suffering
from hysterin, complicated by frequent
rccurrcnt periods OF lothargy. Tho
patient was then hypnotizcd and immc-
I a
aiatcly conducted himself after the
mnnncr OF the woman who had pre-
viously worn the crown. Indeed, no
practically assumed her personality
and uttered exactly the same com
olnints as she had done. Similar pho
nomcna have, IL Is reported, been OBJ
served in the case Of every patient cx-
pcrimcntcd upon. Another expert
ment showed that the crown retained
Inc impression acquired until 1t was
made rcd hot.

THE poMINlcAL LETTER.



Abstruseiy Set Forth.
Take down your 1894 almanac and
after wading through eclipse tables,
rules for finding the greatest clonga-
ton of polaris, table of ember days,
etc, you will find double column Of
four lines each entitled Chronological
Cycles" says an exchange. The first
thing in that table is this; IA Domin-
zeal or Sunday letter, G." That tells
you very little, 10 be sure, but IL Is
really something valuable In the way
of keeping track of chronology, pro-
viding you know how to use IT, Find
ing the dominical letter will enable
one to tell what day OF the week any
given date In the year is; and, further.
the dominica letter being known for
any one year, can be found for any
other by simply remembering that an
ordinary year has flfty-two weeks and
one day; leap year fifty-two weeks
and two days.
4. The rule is that the letter which falls
against the first Sunday in January
falls against every Sunday In that year,
unless IL be leap year, in which case
there are always two dominica let
ters. The whole problem reverts TO n
simple calculation in arithmetic. To
the number OF tho year add one-quar-
ter OF itself (neglecting fractions) and
divide the same by seven, then, for the
nineteenth century, subtract the re-
mainder from eight, or IL IL is o, from
one, and the new remainder will indi-
cate the place of the dominical letter
in the alphabet.
For the eighteenth century subtract
from seven; for the seventeenth, and
on back 10 1882, the year the Gregorian
calendar was adopted, subtract from
six, or II the remainder be six, from
thirteen. For dates previous TO 1857
subtract from three, or IL the remain
der be three, from ten. But the do
minical letter thus obtained for lear
wear belongs only TO the time follow
! inp February 30, and for the previous
two months IL will be for the succeed
ing letter in the alphabet. This new
remainder is also the date of the first
Sunday in January for that year.
The same date in February will fall
on Wednesday; in March on Wedncs
day; in April on Saturday, etc.i as may
be seen from the fact that the fips'
days OF the twelve months have an
nexed to them In the calendar the in
itials of the words: "At Dover dwell'
George Brown, Esquire. Good Chris
topher Finch and David Friar."
Take this as sample examples; The
day Of the week upon which New Yorl
n Ia h0as
found: 1865 added to 4l6. onc-quartei
OF itself, divided by seven, eqsals 297
with remainder of two; and II being
in the seventeenth century, six minus
two equals four, which shows that the
dominica letter for that year was tho
fourth In the alphabet, or ID. Then, a.
June begins with L, June 1, 1905, wa
Mon day, and June II was q Friday.

vAnDAL TOURISTS IN EGYPT.
Priceless Relics of Vanished Civilization

Priceless KniicA OF NunshnsN AhAAtaNNioH
being Rutii:cssly Destroyed.
A correspondent OF the London Times
bcwails the destruction OF monuments
and historical records which Is going
ON continually in Egypt lie says that
''cvery season secs buildings ruthlessly
destroyed for the sake Of materials, and
a host OF objects plundercd by the ma
tivcs from towns and cemeteries, in
order that they may be scattered with
ont name or record among the tourist
flock Even those objects which pass
into museums have lost most of their
Importance and OF their value ia losing
all record Of their original place and
circumstances. The laws Of Egypt may
be excellent in theory, but in practice
IL Is perfectly well known that hum
drcds Of persons join in this dcstruc-
tion-yet no man Is punished for II.
There IS, then, the most urgent need OF
saving all that IS possible 10y complete
and careful excavation, in which the
history and meaning Of every object
shall be traced and recorded as IL Is
found. To any person not acquainted
with the practical work OF excavation
IL might seem that SO long as things are
not actually destroyed IL does not mat
ter whether IL be an Arab or a trained
observer that may find them. But there
Is generally more history involved in
the position and details Of discovery
than In the object found. Fossils are
worth but little IL their strata arc un-
known More scientific material has
beca destroyed than preserved in many,
or most, excavations-evcn by Euro
peans and Psychologists" lie then
proceeds TO solicit for the Egyptian re-
search account, which, he says, has
been established mot Go undertake

country, but to Ct men for work of the
highest class nrchmologically, and at
the same time benefit our knowledge
and our museums, as far as may be, by

PEARLS ARE MANUFACTURED.
And Oysters for the Purpose Arc Extern

And Oysters for the Purpose Arc Extern
sIveiy Cultivated In Chinese Waters.
The cultivation of the pearl oyster
has for years been carried on with
great success in the bay OF Ago, In
Japan, under direction and restriction
OF governmental supervision. The proc
ess of nature Is, however, too slow for
modern requirements. A Frenchman
has been boring holes in the shells OF
pearl oysters and introducing therein
small glass beads and stopping up the
holes with cork. In six months he has
pure surface pearls with glass founda-
ton. The nacrc OF the pearl molluslks
varies In color. according TO It's loca-
ton, and almost any color of pearl, as
white, black, pink, or gray, can read
lily be produced by lodging the nucleus
on the appropriate part of the mol
lusl's body. The Chinese are wonder
fully expert in the manufacture OF
pearls. They introduce small balls OF
earth inside tho pearl mussel by very
delicatcly opening the shell and plac-
ing the nuclei under the mouth Of the
animal and allowing the shell 20 close.
This initial process occurs In May or
June; the mussels are then deposited
in canals or pools and in November the
molluslSs are opened, the pearls re-
moved, holes bored therein, the nuclei
extracted, the hollow pearl filed with
melted resin and the orifcc slxillfully
filed with mother of pearl. These
Chinese pearls are fiat on the bottom
and are nearly hemispherical In shape.
Pearls can be made Of almost any de-
sired shade or color by chemical means.
The black pearl, for instance, is indeli-
bly, colored In bath of nitrate Of
silver.
Pearls being partly Of animal sub
stance are subject TO deterioration and
decay, and none Of the famous pearls
Of to-day can be traced back many
/ generations.

NEW WORK ron The HORSE.
The DOCTORS Have Taken Him In Hand for
Medical Uses.


Between the steam engine, the BIZ
cycle, the trolley car and the storage
battery it began 20 look as II the horse
would lose his job. just In the nick OF
time, however, when scientists were
wondering whether the friend OF man
would be allowed 20 relapse into wild
ness, or whether nc would bc turned
over 90 the western packers and made
into extract of beef. q new occupation
rises up before him, says the Buffalo
Express. This Is the manufacture OF
serum for the treatment Of diphtheria.
There ought 90 be quite field OF
usefulness for the horse IN thiscapacity.
The manufacture OF serum Is n slow
process. and it Is likely good many
horses will be needed for 1t. Consul
General dc Kay writes from Berlin
that the establishment at Schering
has forty horses under treatment, yet
the demand for the serum has been so
great that the hospitals ran out OF IL
IN September. The remedy takes
long time 20 prepare and must be
comparatively fresh. At least nine
months, and sometimes year, are re-
quired TO get the animals into condl-
ton. One animal does not furnish
much blood at time-only two quarts
The horse must be carefully fed be-
tween the dates Of tapping, and, as In
time the strength OF the blood as n
means ~ cure gives out, IL is necessary
20 repeat the process Of eultivating the
bacillus.
Altogether the Indications arc that
this new field Of usefulness for the
horse viii bc wide one Whether he
will like his new occupation Is doubt
full. Even hauling n heavy stage is
preferable in some respects 10 being
fed high for n time, only 20 have your
blood then drawn of for medicine.
There Is something ogrcish about IL,
and the horse may well object. But II
Is hardly likely that humanity will
spare him. The benefits OF the serum
treatment appear 60 be too evident "a
allow Of any computations. Thus an
other change is impending in the status
OF tho horse, and the image Of the
proud animal which was once localized
MS Pegasus ard bore poets flying
through the air, may yet be seer
adorned with spcctaclcs and holding
out bottle in his hoof, upon the label
of medicine bottle.
