The TheOs0phical Heaven

Theosophy has been described as hole
into notbingness, and yet Mrs. Annie
Besant, the great English theosophist, has
been creating quite stir in this country.
Last Monday evening she lectured in
Chick ering hall, New York, on "Life
after Death" She is reported to have
said in part:
"The soul goes to its natural place, the
place made most suitable tor it by its past
life. Where it awakes depends on its own
state. The first world is not one in which
few are apt to awaken. 1t belongs to
those who in life have yielded entirely to
their animal passions. The lot of such a
soul is suffering and pain. The abode OF
trivial soul is the next region. There
abide the souls of the gossips, the people
whose interests are OF the most petty
nature, being principally confined to scan
dals and their neighbors' new clothes.
These souls are as much gossips after they
leave the physical body as they were
before. There are worlds for the people
too literal in religion, people, for instance,
who have materalized the words of St.
John when they should have spir,tualzed
them Lastly there is heaven, and it
should be the work of our lives to train
ourselves to pass through all these inter-
mediate worlds and awaken there"

Judge Henry vs.. Col LogsweH.

The Claremont Advocate has just dis
covered that an effort will be made to have
Judge Hugh Henry of Chester succeed
Col. Cogswell of New Hampshire as pen
sion commissioner for Vermont and New
Hampshire. The Advocate talks as though
it had stumbled onto an important item Of
news; it makes a wry face and doesn't
seem to like the prospect bit. The Ad-
vocate says:
When the muster of Vermont militia was
held at Chester last month, everybody
wondered at the selection. Military men
who went there toslay out the camp were
filled with disgust But it wasn't good
policy to say SO, because there is reason
TOR everything, and because Sena' or
Proctor, who is political power in Yer
mont, thought Chester was good place to
hold it.
AS every body knows, President McKin-
ley went to Chester, and almost everybody
thought he went there to attend the mus
ter But he didn't. He went there to be
entertained by Hon. Hugh Henry. And
the reason he went there to be entertained
was because Mr.. Henry wants to succeed
Col Cogswell as pension commissioner for
New Hampshire and Vermont, and because
he is backed in his aspirations by Senator
Proctor. But President Mckinley had no
suspicion Of all this. He thought he was
having holiday, while in reality he was
furnishing ice for Senator Proctor and Mr.
Henry to cut
Mr.. Henry makes no bones of announc-
ing his wish. The other day in Concord
he plainly told Col. Cogswell he was after
the job After moments thought, Col.
Cogswell said
"Well, Mr.. Henry, you will find Con-
cord pleasant place to live in"
"Pooh," said Mr.. Henry, II shan't live
in Concord. | shall move the office up to
Windsor, and administer affairs from
there"
New Hampshire's congressional delega-
tion hasn't shown much skill yet in Sc
curing new plums, or even in holding what
the state formerly had. Senator Proctor,
on the other hand, seems to get everything
he goes after. 1t will be interesting to see
how Mr. Henry fares in is'endravor. And
it will be especially interesting to observe
the degree of success that attends the at
tempt to remove the office from Concord,
with its exceptional facilities for paying
off the district, to Windsor with its single
line Of railway and restricted mail service.

this section. No person shall at any time
kill any moose or caribou, or have in his
possession any moose or caribou, or part
thereof, killed in this state: and having in
