Trilby Shattered.

The members of the New York So
cial Culture club, who met to talk
about what they knew about hypnotism,
shattered a popular idol recently. The
speakers, among whom were DR.. Dray-
ton, DR.. Beal and DR.. Fisher, experts
on mesmerism and hypnotism, said
that it was impossible for a young wom-
an like Trilby 10 sing as she Gid un-
der the influence of Svengali. Tney said
she had no voice, no ear for music and
no brains. and even if she had all these
things it would have been improbable
that Svengali could have influenced her
as he did. DR.. Drayton said that he

The Three Generals.

The conduct OF war resembles the
conduct of life. There are rules and
principles which it is well to know; but
for success more is needed than knowl-
edge. The successful man sees the
world as it is, grasps the situation be-
fore him, goes straight TO the point,
and keeps to it. We say of him, in
one aspect, that he has a character; in
another that he has common sense, and
common sense at its best we call gen.
Jus. The command of an army is a
matter of character and common sense.
OF generals not mere ciphers there
are three kinds. There is the COM
mander who has the force of will. but
whose intelligence is not cultivated,
He makes a good subordinate-a Ney
or a Benedek-but is prone to fail when
left to himself Then there is the
intellectual man. apt to take in more
learning than he can carry. He be-
comes a Brunswick, a Massenbach, a
Colley. Sometimes, but not often, a
powerful mind is coupled with a very
strong backbone. Such a man, when
he has a chance, does great things.
Moltke's problems are not conclusive
evidence as to character. but no one
can study them without recognizing
the master quality of mind. Their
author may have had infinite learning,
but it has been digested out of sight.
What is visible is the perfection of com
mon sense

A BRILLIANT WOMAN.
Mrs. John Gordon of England Winning
Fame AS "A Scientist.

Fame as scientist.
Among the most brilliant OF the new
generation Of women in England who
are winning fame as scientists and In
other professions formerly regarded as
open only to men is Mrs. John Gordon.
Before her recent marriage to the we'll
known Scotch physician Mrs. Gordon
was known as Mana NJ. Ogilyie, and
mad won a fame more than national
as one Of the foremost of British palace
ontologists. While this fame may
have been partly due to the iIcongru-
ity OF association between the beauti-
ful woman student and the dead relics
or the past to which she devoted her
name, there can be no question that
her recognition as an authority in this
branch of science would be Justly due
on the ground OF merit alone. Her
books or polaeontology are known TO
students everywhere, and have won her
the degree of doctor of science from
the University of London, very un-
usual honor to be bestowed upon a
woman. Even while yet a student
Mrs. Gordon gave promise OF the brill
liant future in store. capturing the gold
medal and several scholarships at the
Ladies' College of Edinburgh, and also
at Heriot College in the same city. Her
native Scotch town not providing sufii-
cient opportunity for study, she went
to London, and. after passing the pre-
liminary South Kensington examina-
tons, entered the scientific department
of the London University. The most
successful victory her industry won at
the university was the gold medal Of

He felt the need of sympathy with his

he gave a dinner to few of his most
