an exhibit which must result in great
benefit to their city, showing as it does
the superb advantages Charleston has as
port.
The Assembly Room of the Woman's
Building is to be decorated by Mrs. An
drew Simonds, of Charleston, and when
it is completed there will be no greater
monument to the taste Of Southern wo-
men in this lovely building, which is a
"Dream of Fair Women" fast material
izing.
This is but an outline of what South
Carolina is doing at the Fair. Too much
praise cannot be given to those engaged
in the work. Mr. Roche is vertable
Aladdin without lamp. Moses making
brick without straw. He has accomp-
lished q great work under many difficult
ties. He has had to rely on voluntary
contributions and individual efforts and
still he will have, when the work Is COM
plete, the best State exhibit on the
grounds. It Joins Louisiana, and whilo
that has not been fully placed it is safe to
say that 1t will not compare with South
Carolina Arkansas faces the Palmetto
State. Whilst very ornamental its e1-
hibit consists almost entirely of fruits,
grain and grasses.
This brief description of the extent
and variety of the display South Carolina
is making shows how far this exhibit OF
the resources of the State surpasses all
others. Heretofore, at Atlanta, New
Orleans, Charleston, Augusta and else
where this work was done under the
direction of the Department of Agricul-
ture, with money for the purpose and
corps of enthusiastic workers, and when
this is recalled, the work accomplished
by Mr.. Roche here will prove all the
more surprising and gratifying to al
patriotic South Carolinisns.-L. Il. r., IN

South Carolina at the Fair.

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 2S.-The Cotton
States and International Exposition hav-
ing passed its first week, is now under
full headway, and although the good
work still goes on, there is enough Of the
beautiful aud instructive ready for in
spection to keep an intelligent person
busy for weeks.
Among all these attractions South Car
olina comes to the front with splendid
exhibit; or, to speak more correctly, with
seven exhibits which, taken separately
or as whole, reflect great crsdit upon
the State and those who have collected
and contributed to them. Mr.. T.. L..
Roche, the veteran exhibitor of South
Cardinals resources, being in charge of
the State exhibit, assures every South
Carolinian ofits success. He has secured
a large square in the Agricultural Build
ing and is rapidly finishing the various
branches here displayed.
The most prominent feature in the
square is the large grain pavilion, whose
roof and pillars are ornamented with the
different cereals grown in the State.
Under its shelter will be shown the lus-
cious fruits OF South Carolina. Here also
the Dispensary will display the Kind or
LIQUID refreshments allowed to its sub

erals and fossils, arranged by DR.. Philip
E. Chazal, the eminent Charleston expert,
make an instructive show, whilst blocks
of marble from different sections add to
the symmetry of the display as we'll as to
it's richness. A large double case contains
on one side the beautiful birds and other
curiosities brought by DR.. Manieault from
the Museum Of the College Of Charleston.
The opposite side will contain specimens
of food fish taken from the waters of
South Carolina, prepared by skilled tax
idermists especially for this occasion.
Sections of large trees having one side
polished and the rest ofits circumference
still in its own bark, enclose the side OF
the square devoted to South Carolina. No
other State in the building makes so fine
an exhibit Of its native woods. Glass
showcases filled with manufactured cot
ton goods will reflect great credit upon
the factories exhibiting them, but there
should be many more from State with
so many busy spindles at work as South
Carolina has.
Deserving especial mention here is the
exhibit of the Courtenay Manufacturing

There are as many cases reported
from America as from other countries,
but they are not generally as striking
as those concerning foreign subjects,
which seems to show that Americans
are not as progressive in this matter
as they should be. One Of the strang-
est of the American apparitions was
seen by man living at Lima, Ind,
who was large stockholder in bank
at Coldwater, Mich. In the middle Of
one night he was awakened by sup
posed explosion, arose and walked all
through the city to place it, but found
that he was mistaken. The next day
he heard that the bank at Coldwater,
in the other State, had been robbed at
the same hour Of his dream, the safe
being blown open with dynamite. His
money was doubtless uppermost in his
thought before going to sleep and
hence the establishment of telepathic
or telegraphic line between his mind
and the money vault.
From it's branch in this country the
society has also received testimony
regarding the supposed medical value
of hypnotism. This includes the case
Of young New York school teacher
who from witnessing an accident re-
ceived severe mental shock, result
ing in paralysis of the face and limbs.

sible for her to walk about in less than
three weeks. At the same time she
recovered her senses and diu not re-
member anything which had happened
since the day of her fright, which she
called yesterday On her further
recovery the doctor found that she was
what hynotists call ga sensitive. !"
She could feel his presence when he
was not visible and could distinguish
objects held between her hands and
his, by their tastes coming to her
mouth. Water over which hypnotic
passes had previously been made tast-
ed to her like mineral water, and could
be distinguished from other water not
so treated.

kind. His mother, when she began
to teach him the multiplication table,
found that he could say it as we'll as
she herself, although he had never
looked at it before. He gave correct
answers to the most complicated prob
lens in mental arithmetic without
pause. Some of those who examined
him found that he could translate any
sentence in English, Spanish or Greek,
merely on hearing it spoken, although
he had not hitherto studied those
languages. After thorough examina-
tion, however, it was found that all
of these fcats were due merely to
mental telepathy. He generally fail
cd to give the proper answers unless
his questioner mind was fixed upon
the same answers before he gave them.
1t was quite natural that they should
do so, hence he unconsciously baffied
everyone for long time. He also
could repeat equally we'll anything
that his mother happened to be think
ing about. 1t was very difficult
matter to teach him to read. When
his mother looked upon the page at
the same time he pronounced the
words as they met her eyes, not as he
saw them himself. Upon the advice
of the doctors the mother has since
striven to break him of these mind
reading tendencies, for fear that his
intellect might become permanently
dependent upon hers. From this case
it would appear that thought-reading
can be innate in some persons and is
not necessarily cultivated. That the
mother had the most marked influence
over the child 8 mind would suggest
that the telepathic affinity might be
due to physiological causes.
Another case of mind reading, OF
rather prophetic vision, on the part Of
child is that Of an English girl who,
on being taken to a strange place, OF
on seeing strange objects, frequently
experienced the sensation that she had
seen them before. The faculty was
noticed by her parents in early child
hood, and during her attendance at
school. Recently, on leaving school,

tries which she had never visited be.

The walk to the hilltop was by way OF

ascent the young lady was struck with
her apparent familiarity with every

she became so positive that she hao
