WONDERFUL RINDu gAKIRs.


Hypnotism the Only Explanation for
Some Of Their Startling Illusions.
Wonderful stories are told Of the
powers OF the Hindu fak1s Careful
attention to their tricks has not dis
covered their secret with any certain
ty, but Capt James Parker, the Ing
lish traveller, who has just returned
from a tour of India, gives it as his
belief that hypnousm is the means by
which they accomplish their most
startling illusions One incident
which he describes seems to bear out.

The trick which is acknowledged to
be the greatest Of these Hindu mys-
tic performances, says Capt Parker,
and the one that has been described by
trustworthy persons too often to be
doubted lis the one IN which the fakir

Expands Ones Outlook and Develops
New Afhnitiss and interests
One of the chief uses of books is
found in their power Of expanding
the mental horizon and bringing enc
into relation with vast range of in
terests that without them would be
closed to us. A few personsmay learn
directly from Stanley or Nansen about
his experiences or observations on his
famous journeys, but in his books,
what he saw and felt and thought is
the property Of us all. We plunge
with one into the Dark Continent;
We sail with the other into the frozen
seas. The book serves the mind as the
telescope does the eye. ltmay plaus-
IDLY be said that the newspaper brings
before us the story of the days as they
pass, but it does not bring us into re-
lation with the forces and tendencies
and records Of the past without which
the present cannot be understood.
knowledge is not wisdom, butitis the
raw material of wisdom. And beyond
this, who can estimate the refining
and strengthening influence that is
brought to bear upon character by a
familiarity through readinH with
noble sentiments and just interpreta.
tions of life. Let the English Bible,
or Homer, or Shakespeare, or Words
worth, or even a single gem like the
thirteenth chapter Of First Corinthi-
ans, or Keats Ode on Greeian Urn
which is probably the most perfect
poem in English-sink into memory's
imagination and affection, and ones
whole mental outlook and temper are
transformed. He has developed new
afinities, and is swayed by new in

A HERO OF SIT. PIERRE.

The fame of the Roman soldier
who stood at the gate of Pompeii,
faithful unto DEATH" which has
come down to us through more than
eighteen centuries, is now fairly
equaled by that of Captain Freeman,
of the steamship Roddam, at 81.
Pierre. The scene where this hero
distinguished himself was perhaps
the most fearful that the mind of
man can conceive, and how the
human mind or the human body
could work or perform its functions
under such conditions as those which
surrounded Captain Freeman passes
all understanding. As he stood on the
deck of his ship with others thick
darkness fell upon the ship and the
harbor, coming down upon them
suddenly like black wall. This
darkness was only illuminated by the
occasional glow of red-hot matte
which was hurled into the harbor
and upon the shipping and by the
flames of burning boats. The Rod
dam was on fire in dozen places and
the deck was covered with red-hot or
molten matter. The sea was boiling
like caldron and the ship was on
her beam ends in the tidal wave.
Mingled with the crash'of the volcano
and the roar of the sea were the
shrieks of the dying. Compared with
the avalanche of death which fell
upon the deck of the Roddam the
rain of shot and shell through which
Pickett marched up Culp's Hill Oh
through which the Light Brigade
charged at Balaklava were passing
summer thunderstorms. In this
storm of death the captain did rot
escape. He was fearfully burned.
But in the midst of the terrors he
rushed to his post and signaled the
engineer to go ahead at full speed.
The tidal wave had broken the
anchor cable and there was steam in
the boiler. But as the ship started
up it was discovered that the steering 9
gear had been jammed with the lava
and the wheel would not work. And
so the captain stood on the bridge
with the flesh burned from his arms
ard the blood still streaming into

it was framed by grand body of
men,. Well have to sag the men
that make no mistakes do no busi-

good people of our county will raise
a subscription to have the grand new
Constitution published or gotten
before the people in some way, so we
can see whether it has horns or not,

Miss Laughlin, SpeIlbinder.

Tonight and tomorrow night Gail
Laughlin will discourse to the Kalis-
pell public upon the benefits to be de-
rived from woman suffrage. AT Butte
last month she was very we'll re-
ceived and especially at meeting of
the Trades and Labor assembly,
which was open for her benefit. 1t
was said to have been night of elo-
quence, of argument and the delivery
of sound economic thought. The au-
dience was spell bound, and the at
tention accorded the handsome
speaker was rapt. Miss Laughlin is
good talker. She is expert in the
clear manner of presenting the ques-
ton. Her sentences are full of
thought and in themselves are a con-
vincing argument. 1t is pure, direct
logic. Her talk is always effective,
and she carries conviction to her au-
ditors.
