THE EFFECT OF THOUGHT ON
THE BODY.

Urine, the noted American author,
comments thus on the psychological
and ethical effects of thought on the
body: Every thought that tends to
reproduce itself and CHASTITY mental
pictures of disease, sensuality and vice
of all sorts produces scrofula and lep-
rosy in the soul, which reproduces
them in the body. Anger changes the
chemical properties of the saliva to a
poison dangerous to life. 1t is well
known that sudden and violent emo
tons have not only weakened the
heart in a few hours, but have caused
death and insanity 1t has been dis
covered by scientists that there is a
chemical difference between that sud
den, cold emulation of a person under
a deep sense of guilt and the ordinary
perspiration, and the state of the mind
can sometimes be determined by a
chemical, which when brought into
contact with selenic acid produces q
distinct pink color. 1t is we'll known
that fear has killed thousands OF
victims, while, on the other hand,
courage is great invigorator. Give

EMPRESS ENGENIE'S PIANO.

One illustration of the vicissitudes of
fortune is worthy of mention. During
a pleasant visit to an American resi-
dent our attention was called to
piano whose case was the most mag
nifcent specimen of buhlwork it has
ever been our fortune to see When
Eugene of France visited Egypt in
1869 she was entertained at Ghezireh
palace (noW hoteI), and this piano
was among the presents made to her
by the khedive, the price paid for the
same in France being $780,. In after
years the Ghezireh and it's contents
were sold at public auction and the
Sirdar Kitchener secured the instru-
ment for less than $40. On his de-
parture for the Cape his effects were
sold and the piano became the property
OF my informant for $125. Two days
later he was offered $1,000 for the
case alone.-Detroit Free Press.

Forty-eight hours later Dolores, with
her eldest daughter, Kathleen, reached
the Manor House.

when they came forward to welcome
her. Gertrude, come to mel"
The girl FASTENED to her mother and
clasped her hands around her. She
felt the tall, slender figure, clad in
heavy black, trembled in her arms; she
saw look on her face such as she
had never seen before.
Gertrude, whispered Dolores-"l
do not wish any one to hear me-tell
me-is he living or dead?"
Oh. what an agony of hope and fear
was there in the sweet, sad, violet eyes!
In what a wistful way she seemed to

trude's lips!

son of Joseph Chamberlain by his first
wife, Harriet, daughter of the late
Archdeacon Kenrick of Birmingham.
He is 36 years old. His father first
sent him to Rugby to make a man OF
him, then to Trinity college, Cam
bridge, to round off his corners, and
after that to Paris and Berlin, so that
he might learn the world. Having
passed through these various stages in
his education, he was made private
secretary to his father. BY serving
in this capacity he was readily able
to get an inside view of British poll
tics so that seven years ago he was
ready to represent the eastern division
of worcestershire.
Young Chamberlain is said to be
pleasant, agreeable fellow of much
real ability and great promise. His
enemies, of course, accuse him OF trad
ing on his fathers great name With
his smooth-shaven face, his monocle,
with his orchid, after the precise man
ner of his father, such criticism
might be expected. But he is really
man of strong individuality, and is
quite unaffected.-Mo Star.

chance of
proving it, and he has organized an
expedition to find Ulysses palace on
Loukas or Santa Maura, an island that
he considers Identical with ancient
ithaca. Homer describes his hero's
home as on the most northerly of the
islands, connected with the mainland
by long, narrow isthmus on which
the cattle grazed. This description
fits Loukas, which has hitherto re-
NAMED unexplored, although it is
known that there are many ruins on it.
in the sixteenth book of the Odyssey
a description Of the palace is given:
Certainly there are the beautiful
buildings of Ulysses; they are easily
recognized, even when seen amid other
buildings. Each is distinguishable
from the, other; the court is surround
