 Not one was lifted.
 "Now,' said Mir Mead, elf you wouldn't be girl, what would you be ?"
 "Please, sir, MT Mead," said one boy, "I'd be another boy" "Can you see man anywhere ?" questioned MT Mead, pointing to him. Then had queer feeling, for hun dreds of fingers pointed at me.
 Suppose lPsa ,,i ] say you can't see me- UIlCA
 "It would be lie, sir,' answered one of the boys.
 ! "That'S plain English, butt said MT Mead "You can't See me, you only see I the house in which live. It's a mag nificent house, for up here (touching the forehead) sits king on the throne, | giving orders to all parts of the house. l Here, (tOuching the eyes, are the win dOwS, here, (tOuching the earS) are the 1 telephones; here, (touching nose) is the 1 ventilatOr; here, (pointing to the mouth) is the door, and down below the kitchen, and in it is the kitchen. The hands fare Iservants, the feet com mon carriers. The cook must have food, and so the door opens, and down goes beefsteak. The cook takes the food and converts it into blood, tissue and muscle. Suppose the man in the house goes. out into saloon and pours into the door gin, rum, alcohol. The cook says, 1 cannot use that, its the deadlieSt poison but one. l was in a hospital in New York. where man died iof alcoholism. The doctor took a little blood from the mans veins, and touching a match to it, it com menced burning a blue flame.
 "Oh !'' said MT Mead, "what;does ii mean ?" "Why," answered the doc tor, "thiS man has so much of the al cohol in his veins that it will burn and lsee his brain; it is all shrivelled up.
 Miss May Lord also gave short ad dress.
