BISMARCK PLAYED COUSIN FOR A FRIEND

An old Swedish lady recounts the fol-
lowing particulars of Bismarck in his
youth, before his name had become
known beyond his neighborhood and
university. "Fifty-six years ago" she
says, when / was very young girl
| was to spend some time in Rome
Accompanied by an old companion and
two maids l set out on my journey. 1t
was settled that ! should stay a short
time in Berlin. A sister of my father
had married a German, and their son,
the German cousin, as we called him,
studied at that time in Berlin. 1 had
never seen him. A few days before l
set out on my journey my father sent
him a letter asking him to look after
me a little.
II arrived in Berlin and was most
heartily received by my German cousin.
He was a tall youth, with a large mus
tache and peculiarly sparkling eyes: he
seemed to me even somewhat uncanny.
But no; for three days he was my
faithful companion. Certainly he could
not speak word Of Swedish, but he
talked elegant French. 1 never had
such an agreeable cavalier. / was quite
proud of my German cousin The hour
for my departure arrived only too soon.

Mr.. Howard took my place close tc
the hand, where he could read the
writing. He did not, of course, read
it aloud, and it was too private for my
perusal The hand as it reached the
end of each sheet tore it off from the
block book and thrust it wildly at Mr.
Howard and then continued writing.
The circumstances narrated, Mr..
Howard Informed me- contained pre-
eisely the kind of test for which he
had asked, and he said he was per-
fectly satisfied, perfectly.
The number of things said and done
is indeed bewildering. DR.. Hodgson

lie eye his convincing testimony That
is likely to be forthcoming at the end
of this summer.
He complains, naturally, that
the most convincing part of his
investigations he is debarred
from giving, owing to their ex-
IRENE personality, and he init

this restriction will be lifted and
in the near future he be per-
mitted to give out his more con-
vincing facts.

spirit hypothesis only after
testing all others and finding
they do not fit in with the facts,
and he makes no dogmatic
claim that his spirit theory Is
yet conclusive, his claim rather
being that it is the only scien-
tifically reasonable one in face
of indisputable phenomena.
The failures and confusions by being
due to naural causes he finds the
strongest proof OF the spirit hypothesis.
He pictures several persons trying to
hold a conversation with one who is
forced to spell out his words instead of
speaking them in the natural way.
Let the reader imagine himself In
terrupted at every two or three words
by interlocutors who tell him they did
not catch his last word and ask for 1t
to be repeated several times. Further,
suppose that it is so difficult for him
to hear that he hears only part of what
is said Having made this experiment
let the reader then suppose that in
stead of using his own voice to spell
his words with he is placed on one
side of a machine (the medium) so con-
structed that the thoughts running in
his mind have a tendency to be reg
istered in writing on the other side of
the machine, not so fast as he thinks
them, but at the rate OF writing, and
that it is only by reading this writing
that his interlocutors know what he
has to tell them.
Let him further suppose that one or
more persons are standing near him, on
the other side of the machine, and talk
ing to him or to one another within his
hearing, so that the words which they
say tend to be registered in the writ
ing; and let him further suppose that
he is unfamiliar with the machine and
that the writing produced has a tend
ency to vary somewhat from the words
actually thought by him, owing to i'm
projections in the machine.
Let him further suppose that the

The Orleans family in France has
always been famous for it's small econ
omies. King Louis Philippe was
sneered at in his time as a man "who
counted his pennies" His descend
ants also have the reputation Of being
penurious in the use Of their ample
wealth. The head of the house is the
Due dOrleans, who would be king IL
the monarchy were restored. His re-
cent manifesto respecting the Drey-
fus affair confirms the popular view
of the family failing. Instead of send
ing it to the headquarters of his party
in Paris by a messenger empowered
to have it printed as poster and pla-
carded where every one could see it,
he put it in an ordinary envelope and
posted it by mail at the expense OF
Ave cents without warning his agents
by telegraph OF his intentions. In
consequence of his bad management
the manifesto was only placarded in
a few places, and was laughed at
wherever it was read. He was ridi-
culed by the boulevard wits as a pre-
tender, who could not afford to spend
more than five-cent stamp even when
a throne was in sight. There was the
same kind of wit in Louis Philippe's
time. The blind beggar, into whose
hat the smallest French coin was
thrown by a bystander, exclaimed:
THAT must have been an Dreams
nrince," All Paris was stirred with
merriment when the story was told in
print.

APPEAL TO MCKINLEY.
FilipinOs Don't Like American Ac-
tiOns in the Philippines.

Hongkong, Nov. 16. - The Fiiipino
junta, representatives of Gen. Agun-
aldo and the Filipino government here,
have drawn up what they designate an
appeal to President Mckinley and
the American people," but what is in
reality rather in the nature OF an az
raignment Of American actions In the
Philippines. John Barrett. former
United States minister to Siam, was
asked by the junta to present the me-
mortal to the United States govern
ment. Mr.. Barrett replied that while
he could have no official influence re-
yarding the status Of the matter he
was satisfied that n document which
repre- sented the sentiments or the
Filipinos would receive at the hands OF
the Americans all the consideration it
merited.
