REMARKABLE ENTERTAINING.
The Host Furnished Everything for His
Guests.

The Host Furnished Everything for His
Guests.
A young woman has confded to a
writer in the New York Times some
what extraordinary account of the
manner in which a wealthy and we'll
known New Yorker treats those who
are invited to the house-parties at his
suburban home. She was informed by
a note from her hostess that a carriage
would call for her and her luggage at
a certain hour, take her to the ferry,
where Mr.. x. would meet and take
charge of her. At the ferry she found
the entire house-party, including ma
irons with their husbands, young men
and maidens, assembled to be looked
after by Mr.. x. The valet checked
their luggage and in each instance
round-trip ticket was returned with the
checks. At the house, in each room the
writing desk was supplied not only
with an ample stock of letter paper,
engraved with the estate name, but al
so with box filled with postage
stamps of various denominations, in
Guiding special delivery ones. A long
distance telephone, connecting with,
among other places, the station tele-
graph Office, made it possible to talk
or wire all over the country and quite
impossible to pay for the service. On
the little guest card in each room,
which gave the hours Of meals and the
schedule of mails and trains, was lit
tie notice: Visitors are kindly request
ed not to fee the servants" Finally, to
cap the climax, on Sunday morning a
maid brought to the young womans
door, on tray which was loaded with
similar missives, a small envelope
which she proffered with the simple
message: For the church box" 1t
contained money for me offertory plate
and one of these envelopes was left
with each guest.

A DOUBTFUL GOOD.
The Women of the Present Day Do Too
Much.

| AHo WOheH Oh inc PRESENT Dhy 10 100
Much.
The women OF the present day-a,
least many of them are remarkable
for lack of reposeful atmosphere. OF
that leisurely individuality which made
an older generation SO charming and
refreshing, says Harper's Bazaar. II
may be inevitable, If woman has too
much to do that she should always be
at high pressure, no sooner through
one task than graphing with the next
but why has she too much to do?
Simply, in the majority Of cases, be.
cause she attempts to do too much, un.
der the mistaken notion that activity
in whatver direction, is more useful
and praiseworthy than repose. In the
effort to do great deal she ceases 10
be her true and possible self. For in
stance, have we never been in sum-
mer resort in the mountains where
some intelligent and active women hap
pen to be spending the summer? Do
they rest in the delicious atmosphere
Of the hills, breathe in its balm, as
simulate the feast of beauty so gener-
ously spread about them, and enrich
their very souls and hearts by deep
communion with nature? Do they, as
the poet so truly although whimsically
puts 1t, Loaf and invite their souls?"
Not at all. They make balsam pillows,
securing the woods for the material
without stopping by the way, and pass
ing the glorious mountain days sitting
in their rooms, cutting up the spicy
branches and sewing the covers on and
the ruftles around them; and some
times, by organizing a band to sell the
results for the benefit of some charity
to their fellOw-guests they manage to
occupy nearly all the hours Of all the
summer in this praiseworthy pursuit.
Or they get up concert, or theatrlcals,
the practice and preparation for which
absorb a week Of their time at least,
out Of the very heart of the golden
weather. Or, worst of all, they play
duplicate whist in the parlor in new
er-ending series of games, with their
American Leads in their laps to refer
to, an excellent mind training, no
doubt, but hardly that relaxation and
refreshing of soul and body which |
spells recreation" Of both.
These same overdriven women, at |
home, in the winter will be found do
ing embroidery in every spare moment |
between social engagements, club du-
ties, visits among the poor or church |
work; and, while they are rushing eV-
erywhere their presence brings no
where that peace, that deep helpful
ness, that quiet charm that belong to
reposeful and individual womanhood.
If only they would not attempt to do so
much, but to be something instead, not
to touch the world at so many points,
but to lift and strengthen where they
do come in contact with it, it would be
an incalculable gain.

DR.. Baraduo Announces His Success and
shOWs the Plates.
1t may be rash to pronounce that
anything is beyond the photographers
art. But the communication Just made
to the Paris Academic de Medicine by
DR.. Baraduc is so astonishing that If
he had made 1t before DR.. Roentgen
had rendered his discovery public, very
few people would have been inclined
even to inquire into the matter. In
deed, Dr. Baraduc aflrms he has sue
ceeded in photographing thought, and
he has shown numerous photographs
in proof Of his assertion.
His usual method Of proceeding n
simple enough. The person whose
thought is to be photographed enters
a dark room, places his hand on a
Photographic plate, and thinks intent
ly OF the object the image Of which
he wishes to see produced. It is stated
by those who have examined DR.. Bara-
dues photographs that the most Of
them are very cloudy, but that a few
are comparatively distinct, represent
ing the features Of persons and outlines
Of things DR.. Baraduc goes
further, and declares that IL
is possible to produce a pho
tographic image at a great distance.
In his communication to the Acad-
emile de Medicine he relates that DR..
Istrate, when he was going to Cam
pana, declared he would appear on a
Photographic plate Of his friend. M.
Hasden, at Bucharest. On the 4th OF
August, 1893, M. Hasden at Bucharest
went to bed with a Photographic Mate
at his feet and another at his head.
DR.. Istrate went to sleep at Campana.
at a distance Of about 300 Kilometres
from Bucharest. but before closing his
eyes he willed with all his might that
his image should appear on the photo
graphic plate of his friend
According to DR.. Baraduc that marvel
was accomplished. Journalists who
have examined the photograph in ques-
ton state that 1t consists In q kind Of
luminous spot on the Photographic
plate, In the midst of which can be
traced the profile of a man.-London

meath which, for at least two centuries
the mariners who touched at what is
now Cape Town were wont to deposit
their letters to await the visit of the
next homeward or outward bound YES
sci.
1t is Of hexagonal shape, about five
feet in diameter, and bears in old Eng
fish lettering the date of 1922. After
this homely auxiliary to the precarious
letter carrying service Of the time was
superseded, and Cape Town sprung
into being, 1t was lost sight of until the
other day. Now it will be placed in a
museum.
There is no doubt about this stone
being authentic, in which respect it
differs from many another reputed find,
like that, for instance, Of the Runic
stone which was dredged up in the har-
Dor at HaVre not long ago. This at
first excited no end Of speculation and
controversy, as it was thought to be a
relic of the old Viking settlers of Nor
mandy. 1t subsequently transplred that
1t had formed part of Norwegian ex-
hibit at the Paris exposition in 1867,
and had been lost overheard on its re-
turn to Norway shortly afterward.
Though the Blarney stone-the only
and Origlnal-was reputed to have been
at the Chicago exposition, and is said
to be yet in this country, the one in the
oouf1a uyo1l ~ pIarpay Iybioh hos boaD
sanctifed by the kisses of so many
generations Of pilgrims, is still on view,
as it has been near three hundred years,
since Cormac MacCarthy's soft prom
ises and delusive delays made his be-
sieger, the Lord President, the laugh
ing stock of Elizabeth's court.
Another example of the occasional
fallacy Of lapidary legend is furnished
by the so-called "Stone Of job" stu
ated not far from Damascus. From
time immemorial it has been asserted
that 1t was upon this hard couch that
the patriarch rested in the course Of
his wanderings. 1t was only recently
that it's inscription was deciphered and
round TO REFER TO Harnesses H., Oh ESypL,
who fourished after Job had been dead
and dust two hundred years.
Probably there is no stone in the
world about which more legend clings
than that upon which the rulers of
England have been crowned since the
days when Edward 1. brought it from
Scotland to Westminster This corona
ton stone is also called Jacobs Pill
low" and the stone of Destiny" Ac-
cording to the most ancient traditions
it was the stone on which Jacob slept
when he had his dream Of the ladder,
and was originally preserved in Solo
mons temple, whence it was conveyed
to Egypt by jeremiah.

AS to the moral status of the streets
west and north of Chinatown, l need
scarcely do more than mention that
these are Mulberry, Baxter and Bay

of Mott street is the notorious "Mul-

hiding place Of criminals, and the last

a very able speech on the money ques-

which Judge Williams was introduced by

a very strong speech from the frce-silver
side of the question.
The campaign is getting warm in this
