quired of him as in a picture, whatever
it is, n hence does it, he knows not
how or why.
A few nights ago. "Sevengala' amazed
five of the sharp-witted newspapar men
of Passaic, N. j., by challenging'them
to go out of the hall, jump into a car
riage, drive away a mile or so, and
hide any article they liked in any spot
they pleased, while he remained in the
hall, and when they returned he would
get into the same carriage, blindfolded,
take the lines, drive over the same
route and go straight to the secret spot
and find the hidden thing. He made
good his challenge. All the aid he had
in his ride was by holding the wrist Of
one of the party who did the hiding,
while he held the ines and drove with
the other. He drove at a rapid gait,
went over every street the hiding party
had gone, and found the secreted ar
ticle in a drug store where it had been
put. How did he do it? He calls it
"pulse-reading," and that is all the ex-
PLANTATION he will give of it. 1t would
take half the pleasure Out of this world
if all it's mysteries We're made plain.

The Surgical Aunt.

The native Brazilian, far removed as
he usually is from doctors and sur
geons. depends upon a little ant to
sew up his wounds when he is slashed
or scratched. Truth to tell, the aver
age surgeon could DE- no better than
these little insects.
The ant has two strong nippers On
his head. They are his weapons for
battle or a forage.
When a Brazilian has cut himself,
for example, he picks up an ant, press
es the nippers against the wound, one
on each side, and then gives the bug
a squeeze. The indignant insect natur-
ally snaps his nippers together, pierre
ing the flesh and bringing the lacerated
parts close together. The Brasilian at
that moment gives the ants body a
jerk, and away it flies, leaving the nip
pers imbedded in the flesh. To be sure,
that kills the ant, but, as he has serv-
ed his most useful purpose in life, it is
we'll. The operation is repeated until
the wound is sewed up neatly and
thoroughly.

FOR SECOND TIME HE REFUSES
70 RELEASE PRISONERS.
J ustifies His Action BY Quoting In
ternationaI Rule Of Reprisal,
Until Spain Comes to Time.

Manila, Philippine Islands. Nov. 90
Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, has
addressed a second communication to
Major General Otis, the American mill
tary commander, on the subject of the
Spanish prisoners in the hands of the
insurgents. He declined to release the
clericals and civilians, arguing that
both carried arms voluntarily against
the insurgents.
Aguaa1aldo then refers General Otis
to the local papers published since the
insurrection for "irrefutable proof" Of
his assertion that the clericals were
1.-The most active and vengeful agents
in sacrificing the lives and honor of
innocent natives"
Continuing, Aguinaldo quotes the in
ternational rule of reprisal, claiming
the right to retain the prisoners in the
hope Of causing Spain to "liberate the
Filipinos and cease torturing and
shooting natives, whose only crime has
been the love Of liberty"
AS to his saying in a former letter
that international laws must recede
before the just wishes Of the people,
Aguinaldo asserts hat he meant un-
der the existing circumstances recog-
nized laws must "accede to the wishes
Of those fighting for the recognition
Of the bulk Of said laws"
The i%nsurgent leader also maintains
his right to detain the prisoners until
''the vatican recognizes the rights of
the Filipino c%lericals and civilians or
until they are changed"
