Novel Parishes.

The census just taken In England has
revealed the fact that there are parish
populations which can be counted ON a
single hand. Thus Ludlow Castle"
has been a parish for upwards of 200
years. The present population is five.
1t was the same last census. There
has been no birth in the parish for
upwards of sixty years. Again, Liam

three miles from Chepstow, contains
only one house, with a population Of

AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.
One of the Tricks Performed by the
Fakirs of India.

The fakirs Of India perform some re-
markable tricks. The following one
was witnessed by an Englishman who
was himself an excellent prestidigi-
tateur:
The apartment being filed, the ma
giclans began their performance. The
audience sat on the floor about the
fakirs, so that they had no way of con-
cealing themselves or of hiding any
thing. At their request | examined
them and satisfied myself that they
had nothing about them. Then one of
the women stepped into the Enclosure,
the rest remaining behind the spec
tators, who formed close ring about
them. The light was now turned down
q little, and In a moment the woman's
face began to be illuminated by a
ghostly light that extended quickly
over her entire body.
She then began to move around and
around, utterlng low, murmuring
sound the while, gradually quickening
the pace until she was whlrling about
like n top. A moment OF this, and the
light that had chung about her seemed
to be whirled off by centrifugal force
and assumed a pillarlike form beside
her. AS soon as this was accomplish
ed she stopped, turned and began to
mold the light with her hand, and,
though | could distinctly see her hands
move through the light as If 1t were a
cloud, 1t began to assume human form.
We saw the arms, hands and legs all
nodded and finally the face and head
gear. She next called for light, and,
the candles being relighted, there stood
an utter stranger, a native seemingly,
evolved out of cloudland. He stepped
forward and grasped me by the hand.
His hands were moist, as If with per-
spiration, and he was a very healthy
spirit.
After he had talked and drunk a
glass of arrack he took his place beside
the woman again and began to whirl
about. The lights were dimmed, but
not so that we could not see, and In q
few minutes the figure began to fade,
soon assuming the appearance of a
pillar or form of light and then attach
ing itself to the woman and seemingly
being absorbed by her. All this was
done in very short space of time be-
fore the eyes of at least 80 people and
not ten feet from myself. The girl APP
peared greatly exhausted afterward.

THEY WARD OFF DEATH.
Certain Diseases That Are said 20
Aid In Iengthening Life.

Aid In Iengthening Life.
One of the medical theories Is that
certain diseases ward of death. Rheu-
matte people. for instance. are said
rarely to die young. Why, the medical
men are unable to say, but 1t Is Droba-
BILE that the blood acquires some prop
erty which is fatal to the germs of 9th
er diseases. A doctor of experience
has noticed the fact In a family OF
five or six brothers and sisters. one Of
whom is rheumatic, that one will out
live the others, as a rule. II govt can
be kept away from the heart and con-
fined to the big toe. the patient Is like
ly to live to be 80 or 100 years old. 1t
is said that this is due to the fact that
the disease purifies the blood.
If one has an attack of smallpox and
lives through 1t, he stands an excellent
chance of attaining ripe old age. In
census of aged people taken many
years ago 1t was found that a large per-
centage of them were pockmarked.
This led an eminent physician to make
a calculation which proved that there
were twice as many pockmarked peo-
pie over so years old as there would
have been had not the smallpox exer-
cised a preservatiye influence. He ac-
counted for this curious fact by con-
Guiding that the smallpox microbe
frightens away all other microbes, just
as rats brighten away mice from a
house.

of adding to the victims age. Now
and then a deaf man Is run over In a
city street. but when deaf people pru-
IDENTITY pitch their tents in the country
their chances of long life are ex-
tremely good. The true explanation of
this is declared to be the fact that deaf
ness saves people lot of worry over
small matters and from the wear and
tear of noises. The shrill noises to
which most people are insensible be-
cause they have got used to them real
ly are harmful. Changing bells of street
cars and ambulances, of autos" and
bicycles, the roar of elevated and sur
face trains, the rafting of carts and
drays, the shouts of paper sellers and
hucksters, even the growing of cocks,
the barking of dogs and the whistling
of boys are seriously injurious to ones
health. The ear nerve is very large,
and every time 1t is overstimulated the
brain receives q shock. Deaf people
escape all these life shorteners, and
hence they live long.
Bronchitis often shortens life, but In
some cases 1t has the opposite effect.
A large number of the old people one
meets cough all the year round with
chronic bronchitis. One would think
to listen to them that they must cough
themselves to death soon, but that ia
not so. The coughing helps the heart
to circulate the blood and, In fact,
gives exercise to many OF the organs.
Only for this daily exercise many old
peoples mechanism would get fatally
clogged. Besides, man with bronchi-
tbs will not sit in a draft, he will avoid
getting wet and will not stay out half
the night, losing his sleep and paint
