your future husband, with age and
date OF marriage, and tells whether
the one you love is true or false.
There are some persons who believe
tnat there is no truth to be gained from
consulting Medium, but such beliefs
are contrary to the truth. 1t is only
from the lack of discrimination that
such conclusion can be reached. 1t
is not every one who placards himself
or herself as q medium that can stand
a test OF what he or she claims.
AND a person of an enquiring mind
may ask the reason why. 1t is simply
that these advisers do not take the
trouble to study hum an nature. They
DO not spend their thoughts for a mo-
% mt with acquiring the art Of phase
ology and kindred branches that will
have a tendency to make the pathway
TO the road of the business clear and
devoid of all obstacles.
1t IS an undeniable fact that persons
will come for advice in full knowledge
OF what they want to know, and yet
al soon as they confront a Medium they
try their utmost endeavor to dispel
from their minds what they know so as
to hear if it will be rehearsed by the
Medium To get the secret out or 8
person by pumping" in no few cases
is the art used by many unprincipled
mediums, but to take hold of the head
and gain control of the mind thereby is
a matter of impossibilitY to most of
them. And yet this can be done and
by consulting Mrs. Marth the seeming
mystery becomes a realization.
This subject has received no little
attention by eminent men and even
college professors So it proves con-
clusively that although there are in
FINGERS in our midst with oily tongues
perhaps the gates of wisdom have not
been closed to the entire profession.
1t takes a great deal Of study to be-
come an accomplished medium and by
continuous and untiFing effort, the
key to the well of apparently unfathcm
able mysteries has been secured by
MRS. MARTH for the benefit of hui
manity.

Her Theory Offensive.

A girl who has theories has made
up her mind that of one of them. at
least. she will never again speak in
public. AT somebody's tea. not long
ago, she met an elderly but still
youthful appearing man, who is
power in society. The conversation
turned on hair and the lack of hair.
You can tell a mans character
from the way badness begins with
him." announced the young woman
who has theories. "A scholarly,
studious, upright man always grows
bald at tho crown of his head first. :"
and suppose he grows bald at
the temples firsta" asked the elderly
gentleman whose hair is really al
most bang.
"Oh, " said the young woman posi-
lively, "he's a very different sort,
then. / never knew man who
grew bald above his forehead first
who wasn't an utter sooundrel at
heart"

"Oh, he may conceal his real ma
ture," she went on, "but he's vii
lain just the same. Don't you agree

voice trembled a little.

ARTIFICIAL INDIGO.


Ono OF IndiAs industries Impsriied By
Recent Discoveries.
Chemical experiments which had
in view tho production of artificial
indigo, and which, consequently,
threatened to extinguish great
East Indian industry, have been in
progress for years, but they have
only recently reached stage
where this product can be- obtained
cheaply enough to compete with the
old article commercially. There was
a time when, in central Germany, a
large quantity of indigo was manu-
featured from home grown plant.
But for some reason the indigo plant
of East India yielded much larger
proportion of dye than this one, and
after century or two, in spite of
protective legislation and the prom
ises of European manufacturers to
use only the domestic indigo, tho
Germans abandoned the further pro-
ducuon of the latter. II now LOOKS
ms IL East India were about to expe-
rience similar fate At the present
time her indigo industry yields her
several millions OF doiiurs. She fur
nishes the calico printers of the
whole world with dye stuff.
Chemistry has found IL much
easier task to take substance apart
than to putt together again. Count
less essences and extracts have been
analysed, and their exact cunfposi-
ton learned Careful liats have been
made showing the precise proper
ton in which the atoms of carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen go together
in these compounds. But when tho
chemist attempts to build up one of
these substances from it's elements
he often discovers that they won't
combine. Already several perfumes
of flowers have been exactly initial
ed by this method, and 30 years ago,
after As years of experiment, a cheap
way of getting the coloring princi-
pie of madden, a beautiful red dye,
out of coal tar was found. Since that
time it has not been profitable to
raise the madden plant. The posi-
bility of mans putting together tho
ingredients which nature employs in
making the essential part of indigo,
and in precisely the same proper
tons, was demonstrated long time
ago. And synthetic chemistry"
has since been studying the problem
of cheapening the process, so that it
might be placed ON a commercial
basis.
A German house, the Badische
Anitin and Soda Fabrik, of Lud-
wigshafen- the-Rhine, has placed
on the market an almost pure indigo
blue at price so very near that of
tho East Indian article that for-
midable competition is at last threat
ened. 1t should be observed that the
indigo plant yields, in addition to
the blue principle (indigo TIM red
dye.
The manufacturing chemists have
thus far got only the blue dye. More
over, it is alleged that the system of
treating the East Indian plant now
in vogue does not extract all of Ell
ther principle which exists tnere.
Improved methods of manufacture
may perhaps cheapen tho natural
article little more, It is too soon,
therefore, to predict the complete
downfall Of the indigo business OF
the east. BUTT is certainly in great
er uerii today tflan ever before -

Rev. E. Hungerford arrived Tuesday
to look after his Catholicon affairs.
He says that while the Catholicon no.
tel has not been formally opened to
the public that they are taking care of
those who feel that they prefer to re-
main there to be near the baths. Mr..
Hungerford gives quite a glowing &C
count of his experiences in Washing
ton in February in the interests of the
National Soldiers Home. He speaks
highly of the work that was being done
for the measure, the whole Vermont
delegation being actively supporting
~ own senators and congressman.
At present the measure is still with
the conference committee and all has
been done that possibly can be. The
greatest fear that Mr.. Hungerford now
expresses for the bill is that congress
may adjourn before it is reported back,
favorably, BY the committee.
