The Disraeu Sentence.

Every one knows that Lord Dis
raeli's famous first speech in the
commons was noisily interrupted.
Dozens Of writer's and other inter-
ested glossators have sought to find
out how the sentence was to end.
In Sir M. E. Grant Duff's recent
" published diary he tells how.
when Disraeli had got as far as
when the hurried Hudson rushed
through the chambers Of the Vati-
can, with the keys Of Peter in one
hand, and"- he was interrupted
People have wondered what Hudson
had in his other hand The latest
commentator has this to say: "Hud-
son was a kings messenger. He
was in pursuit Of Sir Robert Peel
with a letter from the king sum-
moning Peel to form government
| submit that the sentence which
Disraeli left unfinished should end
thus, And the kings letter in the
other, or, as Disraeli might have
put it, the magic missive of his SOW
ereign in the other. "

Spectral illusions.

People who are troubled with spec
trail illusions and with illusions of
other senses, hearing most notably,
are told by science that they are
simply the subjects Of a reversion
of the process whereby ordinary
sensations from the outer world are
transmitted to and registered by the
brain-in other words, when the
brain centers project forward on to
the receptive parts of eye and ear
the individual becomes conscious Of
sights and sounds which have no ex-
ternal OF objective existence at all.

which trouble US are all manufac-
tured on the premises. The only
specters which can affect us at all
pace the spiritualists and certain
distinguished litterateurs - come
from the inside Of our own heads
