diaeva1 Superstition.
'SorCery is Science Seen Upside
Down PSeudo-SCientifi
Names and JargOnS.

In the Century Daniel G.. Brinton has
an article on Popular Superstitions
OF Europe" DR.. Brinton closes MS
article by saying:
From some strange reason there has
been a wonderful revival within he
last decade OF nearly every medieval
superstition. under various guises, IN
the most enlightened centers Of the
world. The practitioners of this mod
ern sorcery. instead Of concealing, Id
vertise their claims, and urge them on
the community under pseudo-sc!entific
names and paragons. Palmistry, astrol-
ogy, sympathetic magic, the doctrine OF
signatures, hierotherapeautics and all
the farrago OF fifteenth century thau-
maturgy, flourish today in Boston and
New York, in Paris and Chicago, 20 a
degree surprising anything known
three centuries ago.
There is q reason for this. Sorcery
is science seen upside down. There Is
a confused groundwork of truth, a
fallacious method Of viewing facts, at
the basis OF these "Reminiscences. Yet
the truth and the facts exist, and these
explain the success of the receptions.
They dazzle and daze minds not
trained in sound reasoning; and how
few arei The societies for "psychical
research" and. theOsophic speculation
begin with an acknowledgment of the
possible truth OF ghost-seeing and of
communion with the divine. This pos
sible ground is seized by the charlatan
a. proved basis for his illuSory edifice.
SuperStitionS are at core the same
everywhere and at all times, because
they are based on those desires and
that ignorance which are and will ever
be a part of mans nature. He is dimly
aware OF mighty, unmeaSured forces in
ceaseless activity around him, control
ling his own destiny; the ominous and
Omnipresent portent of death meets
him at every turn; dissatisfaction with
his present condition, intense longing
for a life and JOY which it can never
offer, gOad him 70 seek a knowledge
which weights and measures are impo-
tent TO accofd him. Yet such restricted
knowledge is all that science can sup
ply Therefore he turns in despair TO
the mysteries and the adopts, the Gag
liostros and the Humes, who stand
ready to beacon him into their illusory
temples OF folly.

For Mr.. Moody.

An item IS going the rounds of the
religious press to the effect that a

church for Dwight l.. Moody. Mr..
Moody is known to favor such a plan,
it is said, not to become his permanent
field of labor, but to he a center for
evangelical efforts of the whole coun-

aim would be to bring famous preach
ers from abroad, 10 provide for Bible
instruction on q large scale, to get
together choruseS of great size, and to
make an evangelical headquarters, the

WASHINGTON-Senator George F.
Hoar. of Massachusetts. TO whom the
President offered the English mission,
has positively declined the honor and
the President has asked Secretary Long
to accept the place 1t is not likely
that Mr.. Long will accept. although he
has not yet declined. His inclinations
are those of Il studious man of affairs.
and he does not care for the active
social life he would be obliged TO lead
as Ambassador TO the Court OF ST
James. 1t was said tonight that Mr..
Long had the offer of the Secretary
ship of State after it was decided that
Mr.. Day should retire to become a
member of the Peace Commission. but
declined on account of the eXacting
| social duties made necessary by that
| official place.
There is no man in the Cabinet for
| whom the President has a higher re-
| gard than for Secretary Long 1t is
we'll known that Mr.. Mckinley esteems
| Mr.. Long as one of the ablest of his
counsellorS, and between the two men
| there is a feeling approaching affec-
| ton. The President is anxious to show
| additional honor to his Secretary OF
| the Navy, and while he would be sorry
| to part with his services, particularly
after Mr.. Long demonstrated his great
| fitness for holding the naval portfolio
