Hart adds in his notes; "The studs were sent to me by MT, Pelham us @ remembrance of his son. I knew at that time that they had been taken from George Pelham's body, and after ward ascertained that his stepmother had taken them from the body and sug- gested that they would do to send to me, having previously written to ask that some little memento be sent to me-"
 The resemblance of this incident to the ordinary mediumistlc tricks is strong enough to prevent any serious conclusions from it until it is made free from suspicion But 1t is a sample of the many that lay claim to that ex- emption. We have only to remember that MT. Hart was an entire stranger to Mrs. Piper, and that his name had not been mentioned to her. <, In the same sitting the names of James and Mary (Mr and Mrs.) Howard were mentioned; and in this connection with Mrs. Howard came the name of Kath- ar1ne. This was the name of her daughter, ''Tell her." said the alleged George Pelham, shell know. I will solve the problems, Katharine" MT. Hart explains in a note: This had no special significance for me at the time, though I was aware that Kath- arine, the daughter of Jim Howard, was known to George, who used to live with the Towards. On the day follow ing the sitting I gave MT. Howard a detailed account of it. These words, I will solve the problems, Katharine impressed him more than anything else; and at the close of my account he related that George, when he had last stayed with them, had talked frequent ly with Katharine Ca girl of 15 years of age) upon such subjects as time, space, God, eternity, and pointed out to her how unsatisfactory the commonly &C., cepted solutions were. He added that some time he would solve the problems, and let her know, using almost the very words of the communication made at the sitting" MT. Hart added says Dr. Hodgson, that he was entirely unaware of these circumstances I was myself unaware of them, and was not at that time acquainted with the Towards, and, in fact, nearly every statement made at the sitting, during which I was the note taker, concerned matters of which I was absolutely ig- norant Prof, James H.

 Building up about the neck in one way or another is still resorted to in new and stylish dresses, but rumor has it that this becoming trick is soon to be stopped, and that we shall in a little while come back to the collar band that shows the rise of the neck. That will be awful for many women. Already it is decreed that the collar band or stock must be smooth, tight and high, the establishment that may be added be- ing distinct from the outline of the

It is absolutely decreed that un- less the hair is done high, there must be no upbuilding of the back of the col lar, for it is regarded as bad taste and ugly to have neck locks mix will collar frills.

The Paris exhibition of 1900 will con- tain the largest theater in the world. According to the report of M. Raulin, the architect, who has been intrusted with it's construction, 1t will surpass any other building of the kind from the point of view of size and seating capa- city. It will be erected within the Gal erie des Machines and will accommo- date from 12,000 to 15,OOO persons. The auditorium will consist of five circular tiers, rising one above the other and sloping backward until the topmost reaches the very roof of the ''Galerie, '' while those circles at the rear will pre- sent the appearance of enormous ar cades supported by colossal columns. Each of the five balconies will be ap- proached by six gigantic doors, all hay ing double staircases leading to and from them, and spacious enough to empty in five minutes the section with which they are connected. The stage which is to be circular and capable in parts of being moved round on turn table, will alone measure three hundred feet in diameter. Of course, pageants prooessions and spectacular displays are chiefly to be exhibited in this latter day coliseum.

At the recent meeting of the National Hay association at Buffalo J. H. Glen dennin of Baltimore spoke of a decrease in the consumption of hay, caused by the displacement of horses. He esti- mated that horses have been displaced in our leading cities as follows: Phila- delphia 5000O, Chicago 50,0O0 to 75,oOO, Greater New York 4O000, Baltimore 25,- 900, St. Louis 10000, Cincinnati 10000, Richmond, Va, 15,0OO, Toledo, O., 5000. Allowing that each workhorse requires fifteen pounds of hay per day, the dis placement of the above number marks a decrease in consumption of over 1,3oO tons per day. Add to this the horses displaced in other cities and you will understand, he said, why the hay trade is not as active as it was a few years ago.

When the Ohio legislature enacted last spring that a jury in a murder case may accompany a verdict of mur- der in the first degree with a recom- mendation for mercy, which shall en- title the accused to a sentence of life Imprisonment instead of death, it was not supposed that it was virtually abol- ishing capital punishment. The change in the law was regarded as a concession to the scruples of people who some times get on juries, and who hesitate to convict on circumstantial evidence when such conviction means capital punishment. Tn operation, however, the law is expected to abolish hanging in the State, except in the rare cases when exceptional atrocity in crime may awake the revengeful spirit in the minds of the jurymen. In the first mur- der case tried under the new law the jury exercised their veto power by a recommendation to mercy, and the con- vict went to prison for life, although it does not appear in the newspaper re- ports of the trial that there was the re- motest doubt of his guilt

Thanks to the beneficence of MT. Otto Young, the Chicago Home for Incura- bles shortly will receive notable addi- tion in the form of a separate building, to cost s60,000, which will be devoted exclusively to the care of consumptive patients The founder of this charity has planned a retreat for hopeless con- sumptives where they may pass their remaining days on earth in comfortable and commodious quarters and receive careful nursing and medical attention. The aim is not to see how cheaply the inmates of this home may be maintain ed, but how comfortable they may be made. MT. Young recently was bereav- ed by the death of a son who fell a vic- tim to tuberculosis, and it is intended that the new home for consumptives shall be a monument to his memory.
