Their Conditions Changed.

When Charles Foster was governor OF
Ohio, Brice owed him $4,000. Brice
went to the governor and asked him for
a place. Foster said he could not appoint
him because he was a Democrat. Br1ce
responded dryly that unless he got
place he could never pay that 81, OOO.
Foster said that he would rather lose the
money than appoint him. The result OF
the conference, however, was that Eos
ter gave Brice $500 and told him to go
into Wall street, and gave him advice
where to place the money. Brlce took
the money, disregarded all advice and
rounded up $40, 900 in the street. Foster
was so pleased he gave Brice half the
money. The latter returned to the street,
and by shrewd speculation built up an
immense fortune. He has since that time
turned the market upside down several
times. Today Charles Foster is practi-
callv a poor man. He met Brice in the
lobby Of the Fifth Avenue hotel within
the last few days, and Brice said to him
90 See here, you gave me start. Let me
help YOU now" Mr.. Foster felt touched
by the offer to repay, but declined. Mr..
Foster said: "Nobody knows what Brice
is doing. He may be bankrupt today
but he viii be a rich man again tomor-
row. He leads an odd financial lie. -

Religious Faith of Presidents.

The religious convictions and church
affiliations Ct our presidents have often
excited the curiosity and interest not
only Of church members, but of a serious
people generally. Washington was a
communicate Of the Episcopal church
jefferson, though accused OF being an
atheist, alludes in his writings to his be-
lief i'll supreme being. Jefferson, how
ever. never connected himself with any
denomination and not very often at
tended any place Of worship. John Adj
ans was a Unitarian. Madison and Mon
roe were Episcopalians. John Quincy
Adams was a Unitarian. Jackson join
ed the Presbyterian church after the
death of his wife. Van Buren, attended
the Dutch Reformed church, but was
not member w. II. Harrison was an
Episcopalian So also was Tyler. Polk
was not church member, but on his
deathbed was baptized by Methodist
clergyman. Taylor was regular at
tendant at the Episcopal church. Fill
more was a Unitarian, Pierce Congre-
gatiS1alist. Buchanan belonged to the
Presbyterian church
President Lincoln belonged to no de-
nomination, though before his election
and frequently afterward he attended
the Presbyterian church. johnson at
tended the same church as Lincoln.
General Grant was tolerably regular
attendant ON the services of the Metho'
dist church, though not member CT any.
Hayes was a Methodist communicate.
Garfield attended the Church OF the
Disciples, sometimes also called the
Christian or "Campbellite, " of which
he had once been a preacher. Arthur
was an Episcopalian, Harrison is Pres
bytefian elder, and Mr.. Cleveland at
tends the Presbyterian church. -Phila

IiIienthaI. the Filler.

One CT the best known and most skill
full fiers is a German named Lilienthal,
who, after years of study and trials,
made in the summer Of 1891 pair OF
wings curved like a great birds. As the
result of his studies and experiments
he believes curved surfaces better than
fiat planes, in which he agrees with lie
Bris, Goupil and Phillips, other students
Of the subject All these men believe
that the curved shape Of birds wings
has much to do with their flying, help
ing them to go against the wind-a
strange effect which the French have
named aspiration. "
Provided, then, with wings and tail,
Lilienthal began to practice, at first
upon a spring board, and afterward III
n hillv region near Berlin. Even after
he was able to sail as far as so feet, he
found that it was best to arrange the
wings so that they could be easily
thrown off. Otherwise, he coolly says,
Il might have had a broken neck IN
stead of sprains which always healed III
few weeks"
In 1892 he made larger wings, and
learned to sail farther than before, ris
ing 20 or 80 feet from the ground upon
favoring wind. Since then Lilienthal
has attached to his wings powerful
little engine, and he is now making at
tempts to learn its management JUS
what he has done is not known yet, but
he has fewer accidents and improves al
time goes on.-Tudor jerks in st. Mich

HAS TWO ExlSTENCES.
An English Girl Has Acquired What Sci
entists Call Double Consciousness.


At recent meeting Of the Clinical
society, says the London Medical Press,
distinguished suburban practitioner,
whose name is withheld, in order not to
afford any clew to the identity OF the
patient, showed girl, IL years OF age,
who exhibited in the MOST complete and
indubitable form the condition known
as dual existence, " or double con-
sciousness.
Last year after severe illness, which
was diagnosed to be meningitis, she be-
came subject to temporary attacks OF
Inconsistencies, on awakening from
which she appeared i'll an entirely differ
ent character. In her normal conditions
she could read and write and speak tu-
entity and with comparative correctness
In the altered mental condition follow
ING the attack she loses all memory OF
ordinary events, though she can recall
things that have taken place during pre-
vious attacks So complete is this alter
alton of memory that at first she was
unable to remember even her own name,
or to identify herself or her parents. by
patient training i'll the abnormal condl-
ton she has been enabled to give things
their names, though she still preserves
baby fashion of prOnOunclng.
She sometimes remains in the abnor-
NAL condition for days together, and the
change to her real self takes place sud
denly, without exciting surprise or dis
NAV. and she forthwith resumes posses
sion of her memory for events OF her Or
binary life to the exclusion OF those
which have transpired during the alb
normal state. During the last month or
so she appears to have entered on a new
nhase. for, after mental blank OF a
| fortnight's duration, she awakened COM
pletely oblivious of all that had happened
since June, 1895, and she alludes tc
events that took place just anterior tc
that date as though they were OF quite
recent occurrence. In fact, she is living
mentally in July, 1895.
These cases, though rare, are OF course
not infrequently met with, and they
have been carefully studied, especially IL
France, where women appear more prone
to neurotic manifestations. The ny
pothesis that finds most favor is that the
two halves of the brain do not work IL
unison-in other words, that there has
been some interference with the connec'
lions which, in the ordinary normal be-
ing. make of a wonderfully composite
organ like the brain one organic whole.
Sometimes one part Of the brain, anc
sometimes the other, takes possession OF
the field Of psychical activity, and, as
each part works to the exclusion Of the
other, we get the DR.. Jekyll and Mr.

Enoch Arden Up to Date.

Some few days back a lady who be-
lieved herself to be widow suddenly
received, under peculiar circumstances,
visit from her husband, who, one
night during the commune, in 1871, dis
appeared completely, as indeed did
many others at that time. AT the meet
ing between husband and wife the for
mer was muffled up and consequently not
recognized by his spouse, who sent him
about his business. He eventually OBJ
tanned hearing, at which he explained
that a relative had died, leaving small
property to her and the husband, whom
she supposed dead After conveying this
piece of news the strange visitor received
more attention, and the woman readily
consented to go next morning in his
company to notary's office, where the
title deeds would be given over to her.
All went well until the pair were safe
ly inside the lawyers room, when the
mysterious stranger threw aside the
wrappings with which he had previous
ly enveloped himself, and the astonishod
wife then beheld her husband. So over
come was she by the apparition that she
mechanically signed various papers sci
before her without inquiring into their
contents. Once outside the office the
man turned to his wife and said, "You
have just put your signature to certain
documents without which l could not
enter into possession of the property left
me- That is all l want Of you. Good
by" Thereupon the husband jumped
into cab and has not been seen since.

The hue and cry was frequently
raised i'll England during the eighteenth
century, against highwaymen who i'll
tested the public roads and made even
the environs Of Lcndon unsafe for well

One highWayman, named Boulter,
who was hung in ITS, met young
woman weeping as he was riding on
horseback Learning that her distress
was caused by the presence of a creditor
and bailiff in a neighboring house TO
take her husband to prison for debt Of
80 guineas, the highwayman gave her
money to pay the debt. Then, when the
creditor came along the road, he took
back the 30 guineas and rode off, much
pleased with his inexpensive charity.

The Rash Student.

The old gentleman who was principal
of Jesus college, Oxford, had the feeling
that Young men were for the most part
pushing and required to be kept III their
proper place, and possibly he was right.
Yet Sunday after Sunday he had under
graduate dinner parties, and gave his
guests freely of his best, both III the
way of provender and OF snubblng. AT
one Of these parties the principal, who
was a bit of a gormand, and, although
very short sighted, most excellent and
scientific carver, was preparing to attack
a mighty goose which had been put be-
fore him.
"Will you allow me to do that for
You, Mr.. Principals" exclaimed young
Welshman, with more politeness than
discretion.
Put that bird in front of Mr.. NJ, "
said the principal, addressing the but
Ter, but eying NJ. all the time with
considerable disfavor, which eventually
eliminated in most expressive snlH.
Nj. was rather startled at being thus sud
denly taken at his word, but he set to
work manfully enough on the goose with
the sort of happy go lucky feeling that
where there is will there is way.
But of few things does that insidious
proverb hold less good than of carving q
goose. And of this fact Nj. was soon
paiufully conscious when it came to dis
secting a wing. Fortunately the primer
pal, after another prolonged sniff' came
to his rescue.
"Take that bird away from Mr.. M.
and bring it back to me" and them ad'
dressing NJ, he added, 81 have OFTEN

young men are very fond of undertaking
tasks which they have no idea OF per
