der for them. A certain symbol in an or
der for plates means that 'doctored'
plates are wanted.
= trick OF some mediums is to tell
persons who consult them that they can
prove the authenticity of spirit photog-
raphy for themselves. The medium mem
tons one or two dealers in Photographic
supplies and says that plates of high
sensitive power can be obtained from
them. These credulous persons then take
photographs of themselves by means OF a
mechanical device, and upon developing
the plates are impressed deeply at find
ing other faces beside their own on the
plates.

way into boxes ordered by persons who
are not spiritualists, in which case the

these schemes have generated, bribery

Moreover, Mr.. Martin asserts that
London, Glasgow and Birmingham are
not exceptional instances, but are types
of the municipal purity and pride which
accompany the wide social activity of
English cities. "A like result may be
obtained he says, only by the adoption
of a like method and he points to Bos-
ton as an American illustration Of his
theory:
Boston has started on q similar
career with similar effect. There every
man who bathes at the beach baths or
takes his shower in the palatial all-
year baths. every boy who attends the
municipal summer camp, every woman
who enjoys stroll in the extensive
parks or attends free city concert, has
solid reasons to support good govern
ment. While workmen, therefore, vote
for Mayor Quincy, the richer residents
serve eagerly on the numerous honor
airy commissions, which practically SUI
persede the out-of-date council. Job
berry and inefficiency are not the staple
subjects of city discussion. Honest and
capable people are really in power, and
all classes unite in supporting the ex-
ecutive.'"

what the damage was.

asking a sovereign apiece, and I'll let
you have on for half SOW"
OF course the clergyman declined so
ridiculous a fee, as he mad no use for a

his wife better than expected. for he
