A THEosoPHICAL COLLEGE

Occultism can hardly be said to enjoy
very great vogue in this country With
n certain few, Of recent years, one form
of it-theosophy--ha been fad, and
the public has been listlessly amused by
the doings of the Theosophical Society in
New York, which is said to be branch
of the one in the East, and perplexed with
the quarrels of the leaders.
Philosophical Society has been
chiefly noted for its unseemly conten.
tions, such as were particularly shocking
in an organization one of whose chief
principles is the brotherhood of man.
The leaders were always in row and de-
noucing one another as humbugs and
frauds, and the great Madame Blavatsky
was posted by another devotee as the most
unmitigated cheat of them ALL 81
Not many months ago in New York n
successor to Madame Blavatsky was
chosen, and there was also fantastic
wedding which excited great deal of
mirth; and presently sort of com
mittee Of theosophists, with the new
queen, started on u voyage round the
world together. The ostensible intention
was to spread the doctrine; some cynical
folk, however, said it was to have n good
time.
Now 1t IS annouced that New York is
to have Theosophical Temple or College.
1t will be constructed upon certain mys-
FERROUS geometrical principles, and the
numbers "7'' and "13' will play a prom
inent part in connection with the dimen-
sions of the rooms and the steps of the
stairways. A real mahatma, it is limited,
will superintend things; but he will not
be visible to the public.
What is the object of all this? Mr..
Buscham Harding informs us that within
the temple the neophyte will be brought
face to face with his own soul. ssBy
what means cannot be revealed; but I
may say that the object of initiation will
be to raise the consciousness of the pupil
to plane where he will see and know his
own divine soul and consciously commun-
icate with it. Once gained, this power
is never lost. From this it can be seen
that occultism is not so unreal as MANY
think, and that the existence of soul is
susceptible of actual demonstration. No
one will be received into the mysteries
until, by means of a long and severe pro-
baton, he has proved nobility Of char
acter. Only persons having Philosophical
training will be eligible, but as any be-
lever in brotherhood may become a The
osophist, all earnest truth seekers will
have an opportunity of admission. Cath

ST. HELENA FAILING TO DECAY.
Napoleon Bonaparte's Prison Island Neg
lected and Barren.


Napoleon effectually prevented ST He
lena from ever sinking into obscurity.
Nevertheless, for some years past the
island has been getting deeper and deeper
into financial straits, while the popula-
ton has been steadily diminishing. ST.
Helena is only some 900 miles distant
from Cape Town, and yet the island Is
comparatively unknown to South African
colonists, as the outward and homeward
steamers to and from Cape Town only
call there once in three weeks and make n
brief stoppage. And yet this historic
island is we'll worthy visit, not only
from it's association with the great Cor
sican, but also because it possesses prob
ably the finest climate in the world. A
constantly southeasterly trade wind,
straight from the pole, blows over the
island, and sweeps away those germs of
disease which lie latent in less favored
spots. AS n consequence the longevity of
the inhabitants is probably much greater
than in any other portion of the globe.
In spite of all this, and the proximity of
the island to the cape hardly solitary
Africander finds his way there from one
years end to the other.
So much i'll reference in ST. Helena as
health resort. Now let me briefly refer
20 a matter that is of more vital impor-
island have been fully recognized by both
naval and military experts, and the royal
commission, which was presided over by
the late Lord Carnarvon, recommend that
1T should be strongly fortified and consti-
tuted an. important naval and coaling
station for the vessels of the suuadrons
within the cape command. These recon-
mendations have, however, not been car
ried into effect. Certainly something
was done to improve the Notifications
ten or twelve years ago, but the guns III
now of an obsolete type and the diminu-
tive garrison maintained in the island is
utterly inadequate to defend it. More
over, though, ST. Helena is supposed to
be naval coaling station, the admiralty
maintained no coal supply there, the coal
for the ships on the cape and west coast
of Africa stations being kept at Ascen-
sion, which does not even possess a soli-
tary gun, but Is cinder heap upon which
many thousands are annually wasted
The defenseless condition of st. Helena
Is a matter that intimately concerns the
South African colonies, and should en-
gage their attention. The island is ut
terly unable to help itself. The opening
OF the Suez- canal ruined it's prosperity,
and ever since it has been drifting nearer
and nearer to bankruptcy. The greater
portion of its adult male population has
migrated to the cape, and the whole reve-
nue. OF the island is now only some &c, 900.
There are only half dozen officials, and
the governor fills innumerable other
offices. including that of chief land only
Justice. 1t is deplorable that Great
Britain should allow ono of Fits posses
sions to sink into sssuch a. condition of
decrepitude, and especially an island
which, lying in the direct route to the
cape, must ever be of considerable import
ance. -Philadelphia Record.

THE TANNING OF a BEAR.
1t Was Frolicsome Baby Who Brought
Him to Terms


ZOn one of the street car rides which
afford such pleasant outing in hot
weather were white. capped nurse and n
lusty baby that was having the time of
his life. His full moon face was a know
ing one, and told that he regarded the
whole entertainment as for his especial
benefit. He was the center of ali ewes
except those of big, scowling, long
bearded man who sat reading a paper be-
side the nurse
His autocracy, the baby, objected to
having the car stopped under any circum-
stances. He would bounce around rs
though suspended from rubber cord, and
when this did not bring the motorman to
sense OF duty, would let out series OF
angry shrieks without shedding a tear
He had recurring craZes to go on n tour
of investigation and the young girl in
charge found her hands full while these
spells lasted

the woman with the cape, under her

form him to do it.''
At this stage of the proceedings the
baby caught sight of cow on the other
side of the car and made quick dive
with the evident purpose of taking her
aboard. He would have stood heels up
on the floor, but his chubby fists fastened
in that flowing whisker and he hung on
with wild shout of delight. The reader
angrily dashed his paper aside. The baby
laughed and beamed on the distorted

In Austria to give n girl Il spray of
pear blossoms indicates affection
The peach blossom indicates submis-
sion, though how it came by this mean
ing is not clear.
The horse chestnut indicates luxury.

The myrtle plant is the emblem of love-
The ancient Greeks and Romans planted
it in their grave yards
In the south of France the pink means

vANDERBILT,s 800, 900 CHECK.

That the present campaign is n fight
between the people on one hand and the
money power on the other is again strik-
jngly evinced by the fact that Cornelius
Vanderbilt has recently subscribed to the
Republican campaign fund the enormous
sum of 100000.
To man of ordinary affairs these fig
uIes are almost staggering. 1t shows
distinctly however, that Mark Hanna is
relying upon the power of Doodle to help
him out in the management of his cam
paign against the people
Cornelius Vanderbilt is a man cf stur-
dy character and has many excellent
traits, but he is not enough of patriot
to go down into his pocket and draw out
the sum of 800, 900 merely for the sake
of patriotism. His shrewd ideas of bus
mess were no doubt at the root of this
seeming benevolence, rs in the case of
other rich New York millionaires who
have subscribed to the campaign fund.
But while VanderbiIt's check shows
Enthusiastically that the fight which is now
on is one between the money power and
the people, it also shows the degree of
alarm which has at last taken possession
of the Republican mind. Such hand
some contributions show that the Demo
Gratis have made some Roadway at least in
the campaign
