DO THE LIVING HEAR
FROM THE DEAD,
BY Elizabeth Stuart Phelps.

If I am to answer the personal question,
I, for one. have no troublesome doubts
whether the dead ever communicate with
the living. I certainly believe that they
do, that they always have. and that they
always will. until the walls between life
and death are demolished.
But l do not hold this s a demonstra-
BILE belief. 1t is not mathematical, like
astronomy, nor in the nature of the evil
dence can it be palpable. like chemistry.

a plane above mathematics and beyond
physics.

THE RHODES INTEREST
viii Have Full Swing and Will Cause
a Combination of the Gold and
Diamond Interests to the Detri-.

New York.. Feb. ga dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from London
says: Copyright Schreiner, husband Of
Olive Schreiner, interviewed ON the past
situation and future settlement in South
Africa, says
1T will be a great point gained If we
could get the man in the street to realize
what the handing over of the rand to
Rhodes and his clique would mean. Their
object has been from the first to repro
duce in Johannesburg the conditions
that prevail in Kimberley.
The amalgamatOn OF the diamond
mines under the De Beers company re-
suited in a decrease OF h white popula-
ton. The natives were shut up in conn
pounds which thy might not leave night
or day. 1t soon came about that no one
RAJ left in Kimberley, but those who
recognized the dominance of the COM
pan socially, politically and CONNER
cially.
The Boer government resolutely sets
it's face against the compound system.
There were about 80.O natives employed
in the mines at three guineas a month
apiece. If that sum were Withdrawn
from circulation, Is in Kimberley, it
would be put into the pockets of mine
owners. Monopoly would be an accom-
plished fact.
AT present it is possible for independ-
ent tradesmen and storekeepers to make
a living in Johannesburg. With the COM
pound system once introduced the town
would belong to the financiers. The only
solution which will. conserve English in
terest permanently in South Africa is to
leave the republics Independent so far as
their internal. affairs are concerned.
Short of this, I am convinced that Eng
land eventually will lose Africa, for if it
destroys the republics now n attempts
to hold them down while the capitalist
ring jumps on them, she will arouse such
a feeling of Indignation throughout
Africa as will place all the Dutch and
many others who are purely British in
permanent hostility. which means that
England will be unable to owe the
country.
Such a serious state Of affairs will not
result ii the internal independence of the
republic is left intact with, say, seven
years respective franchises embodier in
a convention, which I believe the Trans
vaals would agree to, as an earnest of
good faith. = # '4r =: ~ "
do this and then leave Africa alone
internally and let the people of the coun-
try settle the country's business. You
can't hold Africa down with a bayonet at
her throat. That inevitably will ALLEVIATE
your own blood out there"

From the defeated battlefield of beat
en- lives the moan OF bereaved o v con
tinually does cry" to heaven. Some
where in the prismatic mist between
faith and reason there must be, something
more than endurance n resignation
possible to a broken heart.
A stranger writing to me out of the
depths of a profound sorrow. related a
beautiful and touching dream in which
she had found comfort. Her dead father,
whom she dearly loved. met her, so she
thought, in a strange place, and express
ed at the meeting a joy as impetuous as
her own ooh, father!" she began to say,
Since ! saw you / have suffered So
Immediately at the word suffer the
father turned his face away and his at
tentlon suddenly left her. When she
changed the subject it returned at once.
At the word suffering" again it left her.
In a short time she discovered that, while
to all other topics he was joyousiy alert,
to the themes of pain and grief the happy
spirit was apparently entirely deaf.
The greatest obstacle, theore tically
speaking, to a belief that the dead are
able to follow the lives of the living has
always been the difficulty of understand
Ing how a dead man can be happy if he
sees the soul he loves best rent with suf-
fering for his sake and in his helpless alb
sence. I have often thought that there
was an idea too valuable to be lost in
this pleasant dream. Who can prove that
the vanished father had nothing to do
with the suggestion?
When midnight a1ists are creeping,
And all the land is sleeping,
Around me tread the mighty dead,
And slowly pass away
So wrote one OF the greatest humorists
OF u day, setting the words to music
dreamed by a friend. Who knows what
the world may yet do with fts dream mu-
sic?
Modern Thought is brilliantly busy with
the inventive faculty. We are concerned
