presses the notion or idea and not the
sound as in figures, symbols, or hero
zslyphics. expressing or representing ideas.
This method is an advance on another
and prior mode representing and conmu-
nioaiing thought much more simple,
which may be called in a general way the
use Of symbolic objects and mnemonic
marks. This system attains its perfec-
tion in the wampums Of the Red Indians
These are either chaplots of beads OF diff
ferent cOlors fashioned from shells, also
used as money. or embroideries made with
the same beads on long ribbons forming
kinds OF belts, which have the value OF
Diplomatic documents TO the Indians.
The staff messages in use among the
1Ielauesians. the Niam-Niams, the Asian
tis. ana the peasants of Lusatia and 81
Iesia. have the same significance. The
notches which the STATS some
times bear form a connecting link
with the mnemonic marks which
the less civilized peoples have the
habit OF making on trees, on bits Of bark,
or pieces Of wood. 1t is the first step to-
ward writing. II was customary al a re
mote period for man TO tie knots in
cord 10 refresh his memory. For in
stance. II an eRga cement was made 10 be
fulfilled at a day in the future number
Of knots corresponding 10 the number OF
DAYS intervening between thc time the
engagement was made and the date Of its
fulfllment would be tied in the cord and
= knot united daily until the time arrived
to keep The engagement
There is no doubt that this method Of
tying knots in handkerchiefs and strings
a. aids 10 memory. which many people
today resort 10. had its origin in the ear
lier days Of civilized society. The method
Of expressing certain events and certain
ideas by means of knots made ia different
ways and vsriously arranged has been
carried 10 the last degree Of perfection
In the -Quipus' Of the ancient Peruyiaus.
The quipUs are cord rings to which are
attached various little strings OF different
c0lors. on each Of these little cords are
found tao or more knots variously form
ed. in The same order OF ideas are the
marks Of ownership OF family relation
ship. Of tribeship such IS the totems OF
the Red Indian. Such marks were put on
weapons, dwellings. animals and even on
the bodies Of the men. Hence are derived
trademarks and armorial bearings
These methods are the precursors Of

been a deputy sheriff under all admin istrations in Yavapai county for 20 years-a fearless and efficient officer.
 Richard Boscha is small for boy of IA. He has black hair and eyes and Look of great intelligence. He came to Phoenix recently, bringing the 16- year-old son of a. county official who had become infatuated with the Coon town 400 and ran away with it. Young Boscha was asked if the young man was glad to go back. "No," he said, ''he didn't want to come, but there was no way out of it for him." Another boy, the stepson of a well-known resi- dent of Phoenix, also ran away with the show. He was with it at Congress, but has not been apprehended. The boys were to get one dollar day and board. Their part in the perform ance was assistants in the erection of thetent. The next stopping place after Congress the boys understood to be was. Denver
 Young Mir. Boscha first came into prominence about year ago by the arrest of Mexican for whom the off, cers had been looking for some time. He and another Mexican had fought duel intended to be deadly. for the favor of senorita. One of them was wounded and the other left the coun- try. Some months afterward this little boy, then only B years old, found the duelist, and at the point of gun took him into camp.

SOCIETY HAS NEW FAD.
The Women of New York City Have Taken Up the study of the
 Occult.

Society has taken up the study of occultism, and the possibility of a hostess reading at will the most se- cret thoughts of her guests is quite a disturbing one. The seal of ap- proval has been set upon the fad by those two social arhiters, Mrs. 0. H. F. Belmont and Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. It is said that instead of summer nov els and other trivial reading the books most in favor at Newport at present are Mime. Blavatsky's "Isis Unveiled,'' the works of Col. Olcott. her earnest disciple, 1.-The Occult World" and "Esoteric Buddhism" !" the work of Prof. Fullerton, of the University of Pennsylvania, who was a member of the Seibert commission to investigate spiritualism and psy- chic phenomena, and the lectures of Annie Besant.
 Just before Mrs. Belmont's dinner on Friday night she presented to her guests Mahatma who had all of the deep wisdom and occult power of Root Humi, the familiar of Mime. Blavatslxy and Olcott. His name is Sara1a and he showed himself to be an amazing adept. Some of the things he did were as remarkable as in Fifth avenue mansion when the high priestess had shower of roses materialize out of the air of the great parlor and fall at the feet of the gathering.
