SHE SEES THE FUTURE.
Five-Year-Old Girls Remarkable
Gift of Prophecy.
Reared in Humble Surroundings and HeI
Parents Are Unable to Explain the
Phenomenon-Some Samples
of Her Power.

Little Mabel Miller, five years of age,
living on Houston avenue, near Nine
teenth street, South Chicago, is a
prophecies, a natural one, who does not
deem it necessary to go into trance
when she wants to foretell events. She
simply tells what is to happen, in the
most matter-of-fact way, and thinks no
more about it.
She delivered her first prophecies
when but two years of age, when she
began to learn to talk, and at first they
excited no particular comment, as her
mother is plain, unimaginative wom-
an, who possesses no knowledge of &C.
cult matters, and therefore gave no
heed to the chatter of the infant phe-
nomenon. MabeIs father is German,
but her mothers father is a French
man, NJ. Jovine. German is the Ian.
guage spoken in the house altogether
and, although Mabel has never heard
anything else, she is able to speak
English quite as fuently.
Illness in the family she invariably
predicts, and there has not as yet been
an instance where she was in error
When asked how it is she can tell when
a member of the household is about to
be i'll she invariably says: 81 sees 'em
in the bed" AS a rule her prophecies
are without solicitation, as she usually
makes no reply when asked concerning
future events, and if she does not feel
like talking nothing can induce her to
say word.
Mabers home is modest two-story
frame house, like hundreds of others
in the vicinity, and the family are in
modest circumstances, the father be-
ing workman in neighboring fac
tory. All the members of the family
are attendants upon the Lutheran
church, know nothing of spiritualism,
never heard of such thing, and would
not know what it meant if told. The
little girl has never been brought into
contact with anything of the sort, and
does not realize that she is doing any
thing remarkable in thus peering into
the future. In fact, she is but baby,
is childish in everything she does, and

This Happened in England.

The church, in the person of the wife
of the bishop of Winchester, has taken
to cycling, says the Lady's Pictorial.
Rev. E. Husband, by the way, the WELL
known vicar of st. Michael's, Folkstone,
preached special sermon to cyclists
recently, in which he not only followed
some of the old divines by seeing no
harm in taking punning text-"They
toll not, neither do they spin!"-but
further remarked he firmly believed
that, had velocipedes been in existence
in ancient days, the sacred writings
would have contained approving refer
ences to them. 1t may interest the ex-
cellent vicar to know that in a country
church of which have heard cyclist

CAT IN THE PULPIT.
Pastor Caught 1t by the Neck and the
Usher Took 1t Away.

An inquisitive black cat strayed into
the Bristol Methodist Episcopal church
on recent Sunday evening just before
the services began, says the Pittsburgh
Chronicle-Telegraph.
There were very few people in the
church at the time, but the loud and
plaintive mewing of the stranger at
tracted their attention, and they
watched it's movements with interest.
The animal climbed up into the choir
loft, perched upon the railing and
looked down upon the congregation.
After time several members of the
choir arrived and the cat scampeTed
away, finally climbing down one of the
wooden pillars which supported the
choir loft and walked down into the
aisle.
Several of the congregation endeav-
ored to coax the cat into their pews,
but the proud pussy ignored them and
with stately dignity climbed up into
the pulpit and sat on the Bible. When
the pastor came in moment later he
found the cat in possession of the pull
pit, but the animal took kindly to the
preacher and began to purr and arch
his back at the latter's approach.
The pastor took the cat by the back
OF the neck and handed it down to an
usher, who carried puss out of the
church. This is good omen, breth-
ren," said the pastor and then he went
on and preached his sermon.

THE DIVINE NAME.
The Inensbls Word That Is Never Spoken
BY Many IsraeIites.

by Many Israelites.
Rev. DR.. Wise, president of the He
brew Union college at Cincinnati, has
given his view of the ancient Jewish
rendering of the name of the Deity, re-
ports the New York Sun. He says that
the term Jehovah" the inelfable tetra-
grammaton, is never pronounced by
many Israelites. They use the word
"Adonoi," which signifies "the Lord"
The translators of the Bible followed
this custom, rendering the word "Je-
hovah" MS Lord" In ancient times
the Pharisees replaced the tetragram-
maton by Shem; they used "Shemo,"
which is also Biblical, as the sacred
name, and this name is yet retained, to
some extent, among the Jews. But it
would appear from passages in the
Psalms that Adonoi, or Lord, for Je-
hovah was more ancient even than the
times of the Pharisees. 1t thus occurs
eight times in Psalm lxXXiv. 1t also ap-
pears in the book of Exodus where "Je-
hovah" had been used in the original
Hebrew. This substitution would
seem to be older than any other, and it
is yet common among all Jews.
DIR. Wise says he has found that the
ancient translations testify in favor of
"Adonoi"
Looking at the English translation
of the Old Testament it will be found
that the name Jehovah appears in the
books of Genesis, Exodus, Judges, the
Psalms and Isaiah. 1t is not in the New
Testament.

has no conception of anything beyond
her own little childish pleasures.
1t is true she does not predict wars,
revolutions, changes in government
and the overthrow of dynasties, for
they are beyond her comprehension,
but as she grows older she may be en-.
abled, through the exercise of her pc
culiar powers, to foreteu all sorts OF
happenings. At present she confines
herself to predicting sickness in the
family and the families of relatives, the
arrival of visitors at the house, and
things that are to happen to her little
playmates.
Her mother does not pretend to I'm,
derstand the child. AS for the father
he says nothing. The grandfather, 10,
vine, thinks she is of the supernatural
and the neighbors agree with the grand
father.
One day when her grandfather wa
visiting at the house she asked him for
soue pennies. He replied, in jest: II
have none; I am poor, and can't give
pennies to little girls"
She quickly answered: you've got
some money in your pocket, and pretty
soon, when you sell the house, you will
have lot of money the man will give
you"
The grandfather at the same time was
negotiating the sale of a house, and a
few days afterwards the deal was con-
summated, but the old man had not said
a word to any member of the family on
the subject.
AS early as three years ago Mabel
could read the future in regard to events
that were of interest to her. One day
she told her mother: aunt Anna is
coming this afternoon, mamma; so you
had better hurry through with your
work"
Another day she said: Grandma is
coming tomorrow, and I am going
home with her."
In each case the relative came, as
prophesied, and Mabel went home with
her grandmother, as she said she would.
At another time, when playing with
some other children, she said to one of
them: elsie, you are going to the cir
Gus; your uncle is going to take you"
Sure enough, Elsie went to the circus
with her uncle, although she had not
known the treat was in store for her.
Mabel is also an adept at telling the
nationality of those with whom she is
brought into contact, a popularity her
parents cannot understand. She can
tell at a glance whether person is
French, English, American or German,
but how she does it none of the family
knows. From what source her inspira-
ton comes no one can tell. She is a nat
ural musician and can sing any song she
has ever heard, although she has had no
sort of musical training, and is also a
natural actress and lover of the beau
tiful In everything.

Matchmaking In Sweden.

Sweden has the oldest and largest
match factory in the world. Matches
were made there long before the old,
roughly trimmed splinter of wood
tipped with sulphur was discarded with
the finder boxes for which they were
used. In IS years the export trade of
Sweden in modern matches increased
to 100000 boxes year. Some of the
machines orm making the matches which
we use in these days make 200 revolu-
tions a minute each and turn out about
2,500,00O boxes annually. Altogether
there are in Europe about $4,000 fac
tories, and they yearly produce matches
valued at 100000.
