GHOST OF THE CAGE.
Optical Illusion Responsible for Many
Fatal Mine Shaft Accidents.

Every year there are hundreds OF eie-
vator accidents, said the old Inspector,
and very few of them are from the
breaking of cables or brakes. The ma
jority of the cases on record can be
traced to this one fact: The victim
stepped into the shaft. Now, why ON
earth would sane man do such thing?
Why, he simply thought he saw the eie-
vator car in its accustomed place. and
when he stepped on what he thought was
solid floor he went to his death The
tiIst of these remarkable elevator accl-
dents that was ever noticed came to
light in the mining regions of Colorado.
Years ago | was out in that section OF
the country engineering for different
companies, and i'll regard to these acci-
dents | speak from what | actually saw.
The first accident Of this kind l ever
heard of was in one of the deep silver
mines Of Leadville.
One of the oldest men in the employ
Of the company man who had been
following mining for half of his life and
knew this mine as he knew the
streets of Leadville, ran car of ore over
the edge of the shaft on the third level
and was dragged down to the bottom
with 1t. He was mortally injured. but
before he died he told the doctor that
he saw the cage" at the shaft

mine the more ant is he to see the "phDSt

So, taking it all together. l firmly he
lieve that those who lose their lives by
stepping into open elevator shafts really
see the elevator car. Ii is one of the
most fatal optical illusions in the world
but such it must be. The victim has be-

the shaft when he needs it. aud the pie
ture of it is fixed in his brain. When the
fatal step is taken that sends him to
death, he really sees 1.-THE ghost of the

EVIL INFLUENCES OF. "RuL u. Z
Personal Rewards in Public Places
Corrupt Good Governments.

The influence of pull is not only bad
but far reaching, and it appeals strongly
to the weakest side of human nature,
says Bird S. Color in the Saturday Even
ing Post. 1t is well known that there
are persons in the world who will spend
SO TO obtain free of charge a pass to
place of amusement for which a ticket
could be purchased for 81 or less. The
same incomprehensible principle develops
as one of the first evil results of the
pull i'll politics and city affairs. Men
seeking position in politics and public
business will spend extravagantly-often
dlShonestly-tO obtain the questionable
and usually transient notoriety of being
claSsed as "a man of influence Mt head
quarters and the city hail. The most
charitable view of the action is that it
is an outburst of human vanity gone
mad.
Whenever in the conduct Of the bust
| ness of city government man receives
4 favor for personal reasons or as a re-
ward for personal service. there is no
such thing as keeping the fact secret
| knowledge that special advantages may
be obtained travels fast in politics and
public life, leaving behind a trail of evil
influence. When men know that valu-
able favorS are dispensed they will soon
convert public Offices into market place
of corruption il left unrest rained What
they cannot obtain by personal favor they
will buy and pay for if the price leaves
margin of profit over honest competition.
The evil influence of pulls" and the
knowledge of pulls are so contagious
and far reaching that ii is difficult to iso-
| late or combat them. Once the impress
sion that favors may be obtained as per
Soual rewards becomes rooted in the pub
lie mind the entire administration of a
city is discredted. One ignorant. weak
or corrupt placc-holder may ruin the rep
utation Of municipal government. The
evil influence is harmful beyond the
actual business transaction of n munich
pality. The impression created in the
public mind tends to destroy civic pride
and debaSe citizenship.

HARRISOK'S SELF-CONTROL.
Shown When He Received B1aine's
Resignation from His Cabinet. :

The resignation of James q. Blaine
from the cabinet of Harrison was sent TO
the President on the Saturday before tina
Republican national convention meet at
Minneapolis, and the manner in which it
was received illustrated the ability Of
Harrison to control himself. 1t was a
reception day at the white house, and
because Of the bitter struggle that WAS
going on between the President and his
secretary of state for the nomination
there was unusual interest IN ten. 1ar-
rison's demeanor.
The line of men and women who were
to be presented to the President had al
ready formed, when Baine's secretary.
Louis Dent, entered the white house and
went to the room in which Mr.. Haiford,
the private secretary. had his office; Mr..
Haford was alone. Mr.. Dent said that
he had letter in his pocket which he
had been instructed to deliver into tho
hands of the President and to no one
else.
Mr. Halford sent Mr. Dent into the
office of the President, and Gen. Harri-
son walked in in a few minutes. Mr..
rent handed him the letter 1t was
8laine's resignation. The President
opened the envelope and unfolded the LETT
ter. He read it through, folded it up
and put it in his desk He did not say
anything about the contents Of the letter
to anyone, but closed the desktop and
went down to he reception.
Throughout the hours that he shook
the hands of the people of the reception
he gave no sign of the important deyel-
opment in his relations with the head of
his cabinet, and for all the effect it had
on his actions the resignation of Blaine
might as well have been withheld
The news came out at the capitol after
unsuccessful attempts had been made to
get it at the white house. and it created
a great deal of excitement. for although
everyone knew the relations existing be
tween Harrison and Blaine it had been
the opinion of many that there would be
no open outbreak between them Harr-
son was apparently less affected by It
than anyone else

THE BIRDS REGIN TO SING.

The snow is on the mountains sti.i
The mists are ON the land,
The cold gray sea creeps listlessly
Up TO the sunless strand;
Most wistful eyes can scarcely see
token of the Spring,
Yet she is surely on her way:
The birds begin to sing.
Bare trees bare gardens. wide bare
fields
Show yet small signs of grace.
But Nature soon shall lift for US
Her fair and smiling face;
Already the prophetic birds,
In sunshine and in rain,
Recall their half-forgotten songs,
And sing their loves again.
The brave, pure snowdrop pioneers
Have shown their world the way
And multitudes of patient plants
Are waiting for the day:
And woods and gardens and green fields
WIN soon their sweet flowers bring.
For Winter has grown old and weak
When birds began to sing.
Oh, sad souls. learn this lesson sweet,
The dark days cannot last
God let His sunshine and His peace
Fail gently on the past;
Even the heart-break Of the war,
And loss of treasured lives,
Leave us not wholly desolate,
The Lord of life survives.
Soft whispers wake the sleeping things
Buried beneath the 500.
And resurrection hopes are theirs
Who sleep and rest in God;
So summon hope and courage back,
Take heart old songs to sing;
Even to those most sorr0wful
God gives AT length the Spring.

One night Janicaud suddenly jumped
out of bed, and, turning to one of his
companions, said: See, Roulett, how
careless you are; / told you to shut the
door of the bookbinding shop, but you
did not, andsnow a cat has just knock
ed over the dish of paste and it is
broken into fine pieces"
Some one went at once to the work
shop and found everything as Janicaud
had said.
On another occasion he got up at
night determined to go fishing. His
brother-in-law, M. Simonet, decided to
accompany him, but before starting he
succeeded in inducing him to alter his
plans and go and visit a relative in
stead. Accordingly this was done,
Janicaud remaining fast asleep and I'M
disturbed by the barking of dogs or
the fatigue of a long walk.
Finally he was ready to return, and
on the way, coming to a narrow and
dangerous path close to the river, his
brother-in-law cautioned him to go
carefully in the darkness. Janicaud.
with some scorn, declared that he
could see the better of the two, and to
prove it asked Simonet if he could see
the match under his foot. Simonet felt
unde ribs foot and sure enough there
was the match. 1t was a dark night,
and besides, Janicaud was some thirty
feet ahead of him and had his night
cap drawn closely over his face.
NJ Badaire also states that in his
natural state Janicaud has an uncer-
tain memory, but on several occasions
when studying history while asleep the
assistant master had taken the book
from the somnambulist and he was
then repeated five or six pages, which
he had Just read, word for word, with
perfect accuracy.
When awake Janicaud has no recol-
lection of anything that he has said or
done in his sleep walking state. But
in each attack he remembers perfectly
all that has occurred in the preceding
ones.
In short in somnambulism we have a
direct parallel to the condition or
double personality. AS seen in many
somnambulists, however, there is a pc
culiar perceptive power making both
physical and mental faculties more di-
rect an dcertain in their action and
even adding certain powers of percep-
ton. These, on account of their rarity
we call supernatural.
This double personality, then, which
we have been considering, is no form
of insanity as has sometimes been sup
posed. And while we may call it super
normal, in the sense that it is unusual,
it is by no means supernatural. 1t is
a part of the normal mind-a wonder
fully interesting part, and one which
we are just beginning to learn some
thing about. 1t is called by various
names-the second personality or con-
seriousness, the subConsciouSness, the
subconscious mind and the subliminal
self

ran her cradle up on the skid she had

with comparative ease. Kearsarge,
having no skid, was compelled to i'm

1t was slow work all around, and
