sheep-owners, who have driven their hocks to

Experiments In Boston Show Wonderful
Results of the New Light.
1t seems not altogether improbable
that in the investigation of the x rays
there has been discovered an extra sense,
or fifth sense, for the blind, and, il for
the blind, then possibly another, or q
sixth sense, for those who can see. For
q few weeks great variety Of expert
ments have been carried on at the Bos-
ton University Medical school with DR..
James r. Cooke, the results of which
have been most wonderful.
The doctor is an eminent physician,
being a graduate of both the Boston
University Medical school and the Har-
ward Medical school, an expert in psy-
chology and hypnotism, and, having be-
como blind from the very earliest in
fancy. his faculties and senses had been
trained to the finest point.
Two evenings have been devoted to
tests with DR.. Cooke, and from them it
is believed by some of those who wit
messed them that it is possible by means
OF tha K ray to so train the blind in
mental perception that they can dis
tinguish mentally the very letters upon
q screen.
The experiments which have been al.
ready made have demonstrated that let
ters cutsout of foil and pasted ON paper
can be distinguished and identified by
Dr.. Cooke with unvarying accuracy and
without,apparent effort ON his part.

Thrllling Ohject Lesson on Slavery In
.4 Plymouth Pulpit.
Mira Henry Ward Beecher writes In The
Ladies' Home Journal of "When Mr.
Beecher Sold Slaves In Plymouth Pulpit"
and thus describes tho sensation created
by tho sale OF Sarah, which occurred on
June I, 1850: "The solemn, impressive ST.
lence of that vast Plymouth assemblage
was absolutely painful as a young women
slowly assembled the stairs leading to the
pulpit and sank into chair by Mr.. Beech
er's side Instantly assuming the look and
manner OF a slave auotioneer he called for
bids. Look, no exclaimed, at this mar
ketable oommodity-human flesh and
blood, like yourselves. You see the white
blood Of her father In her regular features
and high, thoughtful brow. Who bids2
You will have to pay extra for that white
blood, because 1t Is supposed to give intel
ligence Stand up Sarahl Now look at
her trim figure and her wavy hair. How
much do you bid for themf She Is sound
In wind and limb I'll warrant heri Who
bidsy Her feet and hands-hold them out
Sarah-are small and finely formed. What
do you bid for herp She Is a Christian
woman-I mean, praying nigger-and
that makes her more valuable, because 10
insures her docility and obedience to yonr
wishes. Servants, obey your masters
you know. Well, she believes in that doc
trine. How much for her? Will you allow
this praying woman to be sent back to
Richmond to meet the fate for which her
father sold her? II not, who bids? Who
bids?'' -
The congregation was wrought to the
highest pitch Of excitement. Women grew
hysterical, and men were greatly wrought
up. Some ore near the pulpit laid bank
note at Mr.. Beecher's s feet Then the con-
tribution baskets were passed and for hall
an hour money and jewelry were heaped
into them. Women took of their brace
let's, brooches and rings and put them In
the baskets, and men unfastened their
watches and handed them to the ushers.
Mr.. Beecher's voice I'm the tone Of an auc-
tioneer rang out, "In the name OF Christ,
men and women, how much do you bidp"
The people were stirred beyond expires
sion, and one of the congregation arose
and said that whatever deficiency lin the
price demanded for Sarah) there existed
above the collec ion would be made up by
several gentlem. Il, members of the church.
"Then your are free, Sarah" cried Mr..
Beecher, turning to the girl beside him,
and the audience broke into the widest
demonstration Of enthusiastic applause,
and quiet was not restored for several
minutes The collection left no deficiency.
Instead, enough money to buy Sarah
freedom, 81 ,20G. besides sufficient to pur-
chase her o. nfortable home, had been

INDIAN REMAINS.

Skeletons OF Thirteen Warriors Unearthod
by workmen In Springfield, Mass.
One Of the most important discoveries
of Indian remains ever made in New
England has just been made in Spring
field, Mass Workmen, in cutting away
q bluff in the southern part of the city,
in the neighborhood of the place where
history says an Indian fort was located,
dug up 13 skeletons Of Indians in an
excellent state of preservation.
The skeletons were found imbedded
in the smooth red sand Of the bluff.
Each lay with the head to the south,
the region where the Indian god was
supposed to dwell, the face turned to-
ward the east, whence the Manitou, the
Indian messiah, was to come. The
right hand was under the cheek, the
were drawn up under the chin, such po-
sitions being due to the fact that thus
less digging was required with the
rough implements Of the aborigines.
Above the bodies, about 18 inches
from the surface Of the ground, is con-
tinuous line of charcoal. left from the
fires which were kept burning to warm
the departed spirit on his journey to the
happy hunting grounds.
Near this place the skeletons Of two
white men were also unearthed They
are believed to be the remains Of two
Hessians who, being mortally wounded
in the battle Of Bennington, sought
