Glen Echo Park.

The Increasing patronage of Glen Echo
Park is not to be wondered at when its
prodigal natural beauties, the excellence
of its varied attractions. and the rigid pol
icy of the management to exclude all spirit
uous liquors and Objectionable characters
or features are considered. The easy &C
cess OF the resort by direct electric cars
from the centre of the city is another point
in its favor. very large throng was
entertained last night. Haley's Band rem
dered a programme. closing with the de-
scriptive composition. The Rough Riders"
every number of which was applauded.
An altogether good vaudeville bill was
presented in the auditorium. and while
vocalism rather predominated, 1t was of
high character. 1t was one of the most
refined presentments ever seen on vaude-
vile stage. All the performers will ap
pear nightly during this week.
OF course the dancers were out In fore
as usual. requiring both pavilions for their
accommodation, and the boats shootina
galleries. pony track. and bowling alleys

T.om the Westminster Review

| Q-om the Westminster Review
There is no doubt that person may ap-
parenuy see objects and hear words which
! another person close by cannot see and
hear. Such impressions are to be referred
| not to actual existing objects, but to the
action OF the subjects mind DR.. Aber-
! cromby tells US OF one patient who could
| by directing his attention to an idea call
/ up 10 sight the appropriate image or scene,
| though the thing called up were an object
| he had never seen but had merely imag-
| ined. When meeting friend in the street
/ he could not be sure whether the appear
/ ance was his friend or spectral Illusion
until he had tried to touch it and had
heard the voice. Goethe saw an exact
counterpart of himself advancing toward
him, an experience repeated by Wilkie
Collins. Sir Walter Scott relates that
soon after the death of Lord Byron he
read an account of the deceased poet On
stepping into the hall Immediately after
he saw light before him, in a standing
posture the exact representation of his
departed friend. whose recollection had
been so strongly brought to his imagna-
ton. After stopping moment to note
the extraordinary resemblance he advance
ed toward it and the figure gradually dis
appeared.
Some OF the cases narrated by Sir Da-
vid Brewster are particularly instructive.
The subject was lady Mrs. Al and her
Authorizations were carefully studied by
her husband and Sir David. On one occas-
ion she saw her husband, as she thought.
who had gone out half an hour before,
standing within two feet OF her in the
DRAWN groom. She-was astonished to re-
ceive no response when she spoke to him.
She remembered that Sir David had told
her to press one eyeball with the finger
when the impression of any real object
would be doubled. She tried TO apply the
test but the figure walked away and dis
appeared. The simple scientific experiment
diverted her attention from the creation Of
her mind. and this. no longer being in sole
possession, could not maintain itself and
was dissolved. Another hallucina;ion took
the form of her dead sster-in-law. The
figure appeared in dress which Mrs A.
had never seen. but which had been de-
scribed to her by common friend.

ADJUSTMENTS AND EXCURSIONS.
Alexandria,, Mount Vernon and Ar
Iington.

Probably the most delightful OF all the
humid weather trips which have become
fad with these compelled to remain in
Washington during the summer months,
are the popular excursions to Alexandria,
Arlington, and Mount Vernon over the
Washington, Alexandria, ard Mount YER
non Railway. All the pleasures OF an
express train are concentrated into the
run to the tomb of Washington. and this
without any OF the numerous discomforts
OF steam as motive power. A new sum-
mer evening schedule has been arranged
which allows fresh air seekers to make
the round trip in two hours. Three
special trains leave the station at Thir-
teen and-a-hslf Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue after Z p. m. daily, while regular
trains leave every half hour from 10 a. m
to 3 p. IN. The journey of 50 mics
through historic hills and valleys and
along the Potomac is the best of all the
local excursions.

very muscular and when hitched to

chores around the house and barn.
Under the saddle the ostrich has a
smooth gait which contrasts f~avorably
WithIthe 5olting motive Of the native

this bird are proYerbial. Tt will thrive
on a diet of oyster shells, old Mono
