bears and wolves, for they saw none

IN the deep wood. MyrOn fell asleep
by the fire, but woke up suddenly while
dreaming that the water sprite was
begging for her mirror. He felt in his
coat pocket to see if it was still there,
and then he resolves to leave it at the

When morning came he saw many

he had almost forgotten to think about
the possibility of seeing the creature

suddenly they saw a great black bear

pulled out by the others. His clothes
soon became so stiff that they cracked
and ratified as he walked. A third
was wearing felt boots, which became
so saturated with water that he wos
forced to abandon them, and proceed
in his stocking feet. At length all
found themselves completely isolated
on a piece of ice not more than fifteen
feet square. AS they watched the
widening of the watery barriers around
them, hope fled and the men
looked into each others faces
as they waited for death.
While they waited the wind veered

thought She is a very strenuous in
dissuading people in general from set
ting foot on "Borderland," often, she
says, they expose themselves to great
spiritual and moral dangers from I'M
known powers of i'll. This, she will
add, was also the advice of Victor
Hugo, who himself was confirmed
believer in the reality of supernatural
manifestations.
Very well known to the occult broth
erhood all over the world is Lieut..
Col. de Rochas, probably the most fer
tile of all writers on these dark mat
tiers. But many who cite his name
glibly enough have no idea what a
prominent personality he is in the ad-
ministrative world of France. He is
now, as he has been for years, in ac-
tive service of a very high order as
governor of the Polytechnic School"
This is the great state military train
ing institution for engineer officers, the
most important. military school in
France. The colonel is a scientist of
profound knowledge and great ability,
a mathematician of mark. BY his po-

rate business man. Yet a collection
of his published works on occult sub
jects would seem to the average sane
citizen like the library of a madhouse,
written by the madmen themselves.
He claims to have absolute proof that
it is possible to kill or to wound, or to
cause disease at a distance, by the
process which he calls envoutement.
A trained adept of strong will (thrice
strengthened by intense habitual con-
centration and by various empiric,
symbolic processes) can, according to
the colonel. take a picture or wax i'm
age of his enemy, and by the prick of
a pin at any given spot set up mall
ady in the corresponding organ of the
person represented. The image serves,
in his theory, to fix the will of the
operator; his maleficent thought is
transferred by telepathy to the real
object of hatred who witherS under
the curse his hand getting diseased
if his hand were pricked. his heart
falling if the heart had been trans
fixed.
When such responsible men as Col.
de Rochas make themselves publicly
answerable for such startling theories,
it is little wonder if occultism reigns
in France. The society ladies who are
arranging their salons into wierd re-
semblances of Oriental temples and
who are inviting all the wonder work
ers and wonder-teachers to exhibit
their gifts between the coffee and CO.

the elephants at the end and the one in
the middle have to be held in position
by tackle and by men. The job of
teaching elephants calls for the exer-
else of muscle as well as mind.
But some of the showiest tricks
are the easiest taught When Mr..
Snyder saw Lockhart's elephant blow
the harmonica to the great delight of
the multitude he bought a five-cent
harmonica and taught Tom in the Park
to do the same thing in ten minutes.
All there was to it was to get the ele-
plant to hold the thing with the finger
of his proboscis. AS he breathes
through his trunk he couldn't help
blowing and sucking through the reeds.
He did not play any of the popular airs
of the day. That would have been a
little too much to expect, but he will
blow on il and waltz at the same time.
This man Lockhart is a very ingenious
trainer and thinks of many quaint lit
tie tricks that please the public. All
such things as ringing a bell or grind
ing an organ are taught the elephant
by putting the object in his trunk, and
moving it for him. When he dances
with bells tied around his forefeet one
foot and then the other is lifted by the
helpers"

The Rev. Peter MacQueen of
Charlestown, Mass. says that in a
small town in Scotland he recently
came across an old man seated by the
roadside, apparently in much distress.
Believing "a helping hand could be
given, or the monotony Of his own
travel relieved, he approached the old
man and began conversation. The
latter, on learning that the pastor was
from America, became interested, and
several times during the conversation
asked of several people whom he had
known to leave the town for America.
Among other names mentioned was
that of Andrew Carnegie, of whom he
had evidently heard little since his de-
parture for this country. Mr.. MacQueen
said he had heard of Mr.. Carnegie.
They tell me Andy is doing quite well
in America" said the old man. 1.-THE

mine" he continued. land many a day

Furthermore, poor digestion makes
the blood thin and watery and deficient

The most sensible thing to do for
heart trouble is to insure the digestion

This can be done by the regular use

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which may
