Women Who Imagine They See Objects
That No One Else Sees.

Says a writer III The Popular Science
Monthly: among the curiosities of
thought which the physician meets
with, unexpected perceptions suddenly
appearing before the mind with tho
same vividness as ordinary perceptions,
but without any accompanying external
excitant, are not uncommon. A person
may look at an empty chair and yet SEQ
u familiar form seated in that chair,
and may even hear remarks made by
this imaginary figure, and not doubt for
a. moment that the figure is an actual
entity. Ihaye seen persons talking with
such imaginary individuals, and have
had them assure me that they were as
sure of their presence and of their voices
as they were of my own. have seen
persons manifest the greatest alarm at
the presence of animals about them,
and refuse to believe from assurance
that those animals were not there.

MONEY No OBJECT.
When It Allowed Telling Henry Clay the
Sort of Partner He Was.


Zone of my boyhood recollections, "
said General Wade Hampton, "refers to
Henry Clay. He was frequent visitor
at my fathers house in South Carolina.
Both Clay and my father were ardent
whist players, and nothing was more to
their minds than the collection of a
brace of gentlemen equally addicted to
whist, and then the quartet would play
for hours. While the name Of whist
might serve to imply a game where 81
lence reigned, my father and Clay
didn t play whist that way. They ex-
ulted audibly over success, and did
not hesitate when they were playing as
partners to violently point out mistakes
the other had made and attributed de-
feat to the others ignorance and utter
lack of natural intelligence. Indeed, ON
occasions particularly trying, they were
even known to apply hard names to one
another. This they did in no slanderous
spirit, but to brighten up and sharpen
the wits of the other to the improve
ments of his play. As they were sitting
down to q game as partners ono evening
Clay remarked:
e" It's great outrage the way we
talk to each other, and my idea now
at the outset, is for each of us to put up
$40, to belong to the one who is first
called hard names by the other. Ii you
assail me, the money is mine; if l for
get myself, you take it.
My father readily agreed. He felt
i'll mild, agreeable mood He was con-
tident he would never again be prey to
the slightest impulse to speak harshly
to his dear friend Clay And, besides, 1t
was his recollection that Clay was the
man who ragged and did the loud talk
ing. SO my father cheerfully placed the
$50 on top of Clay's. He thought it
would be good lesson to the blue grass
orator to lose it. AS they proceeded
with the game Clay made some excess
lively thick headed and i'll advised plays.
He led the wrong cards; he trumped
the wrong tricks; he did everything
idiotic in whist that he well could. My
fathers blood began to boil. AS he and
Clay lost game after game his wrath ran
higher and higher Still he bit his lip
and suffered in silence 1t went on for
hours, until Clay made some play Of
crowning imbecility which lost him and
my father the eleventh game. Flesh and
blood could stand no more. My father
sternly pushed the $40 over to Clay.
"'Why, said Clay, opening his gray
eyes with look of innocence and amaze
ment, why do you do that? You haven :
said word.
Ono, retorted my father, but I'm
going to tell you, sir, that you are tho
most abject idiot, the most boundless
imbecile that ever dealta hand at whist.
Yes, sir; repeat it, you are the -
fool I ever met i'll my life. ''-Chicago

THE New York Herald, in enumer-
ating the disastrous effects that fol
lowed the enactment of the Mckinley
law, gives the following more promi-
neht cases!
To estimate the extent and mean
ing OF the present revival, we must
take q glance backward. When the
Mckinley tariff became q law, in Oc-
tober, 1890, disastrous results soon
followed, especially in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois. In December, 1890,
at Bethlehem, Penn, 1,000iron work
ers were thrown out of employment.
In January, 1891, wages were reduced
8 per cent. at the large steel works at
Homestead, Pa, and in the following
February 1000 men were thrown out
| of work-reverses followed in April
by second reduction of wages (5 per
cent. and in July, 1899, by the great
and bloody strike of 1900 men against
wage reductions. On January 90,
1891, at Youngstown, 10000 men were
thrown out of work and the wages OF
1000 men were reduced at ] Johnstown,
Pa. Within year after the McKin-
ley law took effect, 24,400 mill hands
were thrown out of work or had their
wages cut down. In March, 1892
one Western steel company had $500
men idle and in July Of that year or,
dered a reduction of As per cent in
wages. Strikes, shut downs, work

Right, for once. The Democratic

under it most all industries were Grip
