items made as to her object. People who
at first accused her of having some per-
fidios purpose changed their opinions
when the quiet. commonplace character
of her past lne became known. Her SIN
&C rity and honesty are not doubted, al
though her claim that she is the mouth
piece of the Angel Gabriel is too prepos-
ferrous for general acceptance.
With a number of doctors and men and
women interested in psychological mat
ters, / called upon Mile. Couedon just
before her departure from this city. The
party was ushered into the dining room
OF the apartments where Mile. Couedon
and her father, an unusually tall and
portly gentleman with broad, fat face
and white hair and mustache, were In
waiting. Mile. Couedon was the most or
binary looking person in the room. She
saf in a large chair piled up with cush-
ions near the window and her father
stood near her.
After the introductions Mile. Couedon
excused herself for a few minutes. and
when she had left the room her father
explained that his daughter made her
communications while in trance. You
must address her." he said, when she is
under the influence, as My Angel" Mile.
Couedon returned and resumed her seat
near the window. The father signaled to
US and we kept silent. The girls body
began to grow rigid and her hair, which
is very fine, seemed to become dry and
stiff Her eyes were remarkable. The pu-
pills contracted until they seemed almost
to fade away, leaving only a pale iris,
changing in color from topaz to sapphire
and then to sea green. Her eyes began
to roll in an unusual way and much of the
time only the whites could be seen.
ASK what you WILL" said the father;
and one of the gentlemen asked about his
past life. Mile. Couedon answered in a
peculiar kind of gutteral tone, stringing
the words together in a rough doggerel
which it would be impossible to translate.
She said that the gentleman came from
tire sea coast, that he was in great trou-
BILE because his sister had an incurable
malady and that he had one brother who
was a Free Mason. All of this was true,
the questioner afterward said, with the
exception of his brothers being a Free
Mason. He had not seen his brother,
however. for several years and he said
1t was quite probable that he was Free
Mason.
Others put various questions with
much the same result. One curious blum
der was made. One of the ladies in the
party asked IL her son would marry and
the answer was that he had been mar.
FED nine years. The son of this lady was
q boy IA years old.
In a majority of cases, however, Mile
| Couedon has made communications which
| are little short of miraculous. Two week:

trouble In the Soudan she predicted tina
all of Europe would soon be entangled II

RAISE BEANS WITH sUNFLOWERs
How 1t May BE Carried Out in a
Scientific Manner.

A reader in Nebraska wishes to raise
the Practical Farmer. He wants to know
whether sunf1owers might be planted in
the hills to serve as support for the beans.
The plan has often been suggested and
tried. 1t can be carried out successfully
without doubt. OF course you will want
only single plant in the hill, and that
of the Mammoth Russian variety, which
does not branch. The sunfiower seeds are
most excellent feed for chickens, in
deed for all kinds of poultry and other
stock as we'll. There is nothing that l
know of that will bring gloss to skin or
plumage more quickly than a moderate
daily feed of sunf1ower seed. AS to sup
port for pole beans, am in about the
same boat with our correspondent. Poles
are a scarce article with me. They are
not indispensable, however. On the con-
trary, I prefer my wire trellis to poles
both in point of economy and ornament
Heavy posts are set deeply into the
A strong wire is stretched from post to
post, about six feet high, and some sup
ports given at proper intervals by small
er posts or stakes. Then a light wire is
strung from post to post about six inches
above the ground and some cheap Irvine
wound zigzag fashion around the two
wires. This Irvine serves as support for
beans, morning glory, etc. 1t is effective,
and when vine-covered, very ornamental.

CATHCHING SHARKS IN HAWAII
Conjecture Based Upon the Contents
of the Stomach.

Lieutenant Coyne and some Is members
o. Company e started out on a steam
launch a little after 10 a. m. Sunday, for
| the purpose of doing what they could
| with a certain family of sharks reported
| to have been seen outside the harbor
They stocked the launch well, prepare
| tory to an all days hunt, says the Pacific
| Commercial Advertiser.
| Just outside the harbor unmistakable
| signs in the shape of several fms were
| noticed projecting above the surface of
the water, and they made the soldiers
| hair bristle with excitement A hook,
baited with large piece of pork and at
tached to heavy line, was thrown over
board. There was a bite and a pull, and
before long good sized shark was hauled
| alongside and filled with rifle and re-
volver bullets. This was excitement
| enough, but when, after the line had been
| thrown over again. another shark was
| captured in the same manner, the men
in the launch could hardly remain in their
places.
The line was cast overheard once more,
and soon there was tug that caused a
very burning sensation to pass over the
hands of the four men who held it. The
| launch was pulled here and there by what
seemed to be a monster twice the size of
| the others. This seemed to be proven
| when the shark stuck his fin above water.
At this seven or eight bullets pierced the
head of the monster and after a hard
| fight. during which the launch was in
| Imminent danger of being capsized, the
| prize was brought alongside and towed
| with the other two to the Aloha boat
| house, where it was found to be II feet 8
inches from head to tip Of tail, and 5S1s
| inches around at its largest part. The
| largest Of the remaining two measures
9 feet inches.
| Upon being cut open the large shark
| proved to have a stomach exceptionally
void. which in some degree accounted for
| the tug given the line. One of the smaller
| ones stomach was found to contain two
hats, one towel, and half of the top of a
| barrel, which one of the soldiers con-
| strued as meaning that two native women
had gone out in canoe with a key of
beer, and had been met by the shark.
which had devoured one woman, the head
of another and tapped the key in a Pc

Bridget Had Happy Way of Getting

An old Irish woman who has received
many benefits at the hands of benevo-

that occasionally the large-hearted cou-
pie lose all patience with her, but she has
such sense OF humor and such begull-

them and finally to win them back, says
the Youths Companion. At one time
when money was given to her to buy

upon a large plush photograph album
The minister spoke to her with considera-
BILE severity, as did also his wife, and for
some time Bridget received no calls from

the minister relented and stopped at
Bridgets door on his way to see sick

IS more ;intense than ever. 1t is only
a little more than two months ago that
this young woman suddenly announced
to her parents and friends that she had
been appointed the earthly representa-

Ordinarily an announcement OF this kind
would be accepted as first class symp-
tom of insanity, and no one would have
given 1t second thought. But no one
has yet accused Mile. Couedon of being
insane. Some have said that she Is the
victim of highly strung religious nature,
but great many people have been SO i'm

place great faith in her sayings.

from Vancouver to Yokohama, Shanghai,

as good as Queen Victoria on our ships;
and, in fact, any ship coming from Europe.
Asia or Oceanica to America will do the

that America has coined have not been de-
