Effect of Tree Destruction.

The influence of forests in protecting the water supply is well illustrated in the case of Greece. In ancient days she possessed 7,500,000 acres of forest. To- day she has hardly 100000 acres, and the scarcity of water and other injuri- ous climatic effects are traceable to the destruction of the trees.

A Japanese Lady Politician.


 The most remarkable woman in poli- tics in Japan is Mime. Hatoyama. When her husband, a leader of the progress sionist party, ran for parliament, she took the stump and made speeches in his interest-a very extraordinary thing for Japanese lady to do.

A Busy Archbishop,

The archbishop Of Canterbury is
busy man. He is bishop Of Kent and
part Of Surrey. That means much trav-
cling about. He has to act as final ref.
cree in affairs Of the English church all
over the world. That means selecting
bishops and settling difficult questions.
He is head Of all the English bishops,
and has to hold frequent meetings to
discuss all questions touching the
church. He is governor Of several great
schools, and has to consult with other
governors as to how they are to be
managed. Then he must attend the
house of lords, where the archbishop is
bound not to be party man.
So much for the archibshop's duties
Now about the way he performs them.
To large extent by writing letters, in
answer to the missives which pour into
Lambeth palace from early morn to
night. The archbishop opens as many
letters himself as he can, always him.
self reading those marked "private,
and the secretaries, three in number, do
the rest. Then the secretaries come in
with their baskets, read the letters out
and take notes, while the archbishop
says how they are to be answered.
All day long this is going on. When
ever there is spare moment it is "let-
tiers, letters. - The secretaries drive with
him sometimes as he goes to a meeting,
and read letters to him all the time as
they go.-London Tit-Bits

A Theater For Girls.

Nine. Marie Samary, distinguished
French actress, has conceived the idea
of founding theater for girls. She is
the sister of the late Jeanne Samary of
the Comedie Francaise, and she hopes
soon to open her playhouse Oh the Rue
de Ponthieu, Paris. One of the first
plays to be performed will be Duvey-
rier's "Foute de s'enterdre. Mime.
Samary says that she thought Of the
plan early in the winter, when heA
niece wanted to see play. She glanced
over the list Of entertainments and
found that there was only one perform
ance to which she could safely take a
young and innocent relative. NJ. Jules
Lemaitre supports her scheme and prom
ises to provide unobjectionablep plays OF

new venture.

Iilienthal. the Filler.

One Of the best known and most skill
ful fliers is German named Lilienthal,
who, after years of study and trials,
made in the summer Of 1891 pair Of
wings curved like great birds. AS the
II suit Of his studies and experiments
he believes curved surfaces better than
fiat planes, in which he agrees with LIE
Bris Goppil 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 60 against the wind-a
strange effect which the French have
named respiration. "
Provided, then, with wings and tail,
Lilienthal began to practice, at first
upon a spring board, and afterward in
hilly region near Berlin. Even after
he was able to sail as far as 80 feet, he
found that it was best to arrange the
wings so that they could be easily
thrown off, Otherwise, he coolly says,
II might have had a broken neck in
stead Of sprains which always healed in
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
a favoring wind. Since then Lilienthal
has attached to his wings a powerful
little engine, and he is now making at
tempts to learn its management. Just
what he has done is not known yet, but
he has fewer accidents and improves as
time goes n.--Tudor jerks in st. Mich

Religious Faith Of I'res;dentss

The religious convictions and church
affiliations Of our presidents have often
excited the curiosity and interest not
only of church members but of serious
people generally. Washington was a
communicant Of the Episcopal church.
Jefferson, though accused Of being an
atheist, alludes in his writings to his be-
lief in a supreme being. Jefferson, how
ever. never connected himself with any
denomination and not very often at
tended any place of worship. John Ad-
ans was Unitarian. Madison and Mon
roe were Episcopalians. John Quincy
Adams was Unitarian. jackson join

death Of his wife. Van Buren attended
the Dutch Reformed church, but was
not a member. W. H Harrison was an
Episcopalian. So also was Tyler. Polk
was rot church member, but on his
deathbed was baptized by Methodist
clergyman. Taylor was regular at
tendant at the Episcopal church. Fill
more was Unitarian, Pierce Congre-
gationalist Buchanan belonged to the
Presbyterian church.
President Lincoln belonged to no de-
nomination, though before his election
and frequently afrerward he attended
the Presbyterian church. johnson at

General Grant was tolerably regular
attendant on the services of the Metho-

An OEe7aWed HiShwayman.

The hue and cry was frequently
raised in England during the eighteenth
century, against highwaynen who in
tested the public roads and made even
the environs of London unsafe for well
to do travellers. These knights OF the
road were tremendously respectful to
the persons they robbed after their first
greeting, "Your money or your life"
emphasized by pistol and occasionally
they became champions of the dis
tressed.
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 creditor
and bailif in 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 80 guineas and rode off, much
pleased with his inexpensive charity.
On another occasion this same high
wayman was "bluffed" by all impe-
rious, rough nobleman, who was also
deaf. Lord O., the nobleman, while
travelling in his postchaise, was reused
from nap by the stopping of the car
riage. Seeing man on horseback, pistol
in hand, the nobleman angrily asked:
'sWhat do you want?"
'tMoney, my lord" answered the
man.
"What money? Are you the rascal
who has just awoke me so suddenly"
BE quick, my lord! I've no time to
lose. Hand over your purse. ."
'My purse! You shall not have it.
You carry on a fine trade, don't you?'
Lord O. then quietly pulled out a
full purse, and with his finger and
thumb deliberately took out three guin.
cas-, which he handed to the highway
man, saying: "There, that's enough for
a scoundrel like you. I hope may live
to see you hanged"
The robber was so surprised by the
noblehan's rough manner and con-
temptuous indifference that he did not
insist in his demand Of the purse,
though he had a pistol to enforce it.

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


entists Call Double Consciousness.
At recent meeting Of the Clinical
society, says the London Medical Press,
a distinguished suburabn practitioner,
whose name is withheld, in order not to
afford any clew to the identity Of the
patient, showed girl, 10 years of age,
who exhibited in the most complete ard
indubitable form the condition known
as ssdual 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 in an entirely differ
ent character. In her normal condition
she could read and write and speak flu
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 in the abnormal condi-
ton she has been enabled to Sive things
their names, though she still preserves
baby fashion of pronouncing.
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
may, and she forthwith resumes posses
sion of her memory for events Of her or
dinary life to the exclusion Of those
which have ranspired during the alb
normal state. During the last month or
so she appears to have entered on new
phase, for, after a mental blank Of a
fortnight's duration, she awakened COM
pletely oblivious Of all that had happened
since June, 1895, and she allu6es to
events that took place just anterior to
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 insrequently met with, and they
have been carefully studied. especially IN
France, where women appear more prone
to neurotic manifestations. The hy-
pothesis that finds most favor is that the
two halves of the brain do not, work In
unison-in other words, that there has
been some interference with the connec-
tions 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, and
sunetimes the other, takes possession Of
the field of psyehical activity, and, as
each part works to the exclusion Of the
other, we get the Dr.. Jekyll and Mr.:
HYDE transformations.
