Sir Hector Hicks was a staIwart knight.
A knight Of noble name:
His sword was sharp and his shield was

He welded his spear with wondrous
might,
While his courtIy bearing and towering

And his ponderous. massive frame
Were the awe and pride

All was as safe as a stronghold could be.
Secure against onslaught by land or by

And Sir Hector. beside.
Was amply supplied
with all kinds Of weapons that art could
provide.
His armory showed a magnificent store
OF sabers and swords BY the dozen and
score.
There were cutIasses. falchions. dirks.
daggers. and blades.
Clubs, maces, and truncheons; bolts,
bombs, and grenades.
Full panoplied armor Sir Hector pos

A cuirass and helmet, shield for his

A brclrIer and mask
A gauntlet and casque,
And all Of the rest,
From sandal 10 crest
The noble knight wore when for battle
he dressed.
A desperate fight
Was his greatest delight;
With valOr and courage he fought for
And many 2 knave

That one Christmas eve

For. alack and alas, though it grieves

That Sir Hector, though reckoned 50

Who never would finch when a foe he'd

And a flush arise TO his manly brow
When he saw Rosine meath the mistle.

So sweet and fair
That he could not dare

AT her mischievOus look

He could brayely face savage foe,
But not Rosine meath the mistietoe.
Though he dared advance

He could not parry the maiden's glance
Again and again Sir Hector tried

TAILOR-MADE GIRLS

Inc average man would laugh to
scorn an assertion that the tailor-made
girl has quite as many tantalizing
things to contend with in dressing her
self as he himself has in arranging his
own faultless linen. He doesn't dream

why, of course, she does not know
what trouble is.
The tailor-made girl must avoid the
least suggestion of "fluffiness. Her
hair should not look crimp. neither
should the feathers on her hat. Her
shirt waist is hopeless if not thoroughly
severe, and her tie must receive Just

A CURIOUS RELIGIOUS COLONY

OF all queer cities ever built the
queerest was undoubtedly that erected
near the headwaters of the Rio Pecos,
in New Mexico, by Julian Ericsson and
his followers in the middle of the last
century.
Ericsson was an American of Norwe-
gian descent, and inherited some money
together with taste for occult mysti-
cism, from his father, a Swedenborgian
carpenter and contractor.
He early came under the influence Of
Joseph Smith, the founder OF Mormon
ism, but quarreled with his leader, and
started to found an entirely new sect
of his own, the cardinal principle of
which was the transmigration of the
souls of the faithful while yet on earth.
That is to say, he promised that his
disciples should. at an early date be
changed into doves, eagles, lions. or in
fact into whatever beast or bird they
chose
1t seems scarcely credible that such
an absurd, not to say nauseous, doc
trine should have succeeded, even for a
time, in attracting converts; but there
would seem to be no limit to human
credulity and gullibility in such mat
tiers. Some hundreds of enthusiasts
threw in their lot with him, and fol-
lowing the example of the Mormons.
marched westward from the settled
states into the great western hills.
They finally brought up in what is
now San Miguel county, and built a
town OF frame houses, at the back OF
each of which was a cage or den suit
able to the needs of the particular ami
NAL or bird they expected shortly to
become.
OF course, the promises OF Ericsson
came to nothing, and in the end he and
a number of his disappointed disciples
were killed in battle with Apaches. The
others scattered to various parts, the
majority going to California to dig for
gold. and the stronger of the cages,
those erected for the would-be tiger
men and lion-women, We're afterward
utilized for a brief period as places of
confinement for refractory convicts.-

The coming of spring showed that the
bonds of friendship which had been

having their food obtained for them, of
icing exempt from the worry and I'M
certainty of hunting for it themselves,
seemed TO have demoralized their in1e-

hung about the garden watching for
the clergyman, whose approach was
greeted by tumultuous chirping. Some

GLOBE SIGHTS.

When we see a man throw out his
tobacco, and go into a joint, we are

Eminent Opinions Of Immortality.

One year and a half ago Mr.. Robert
]. Thompson, a we'll known Chicago
gentleman, who at one time served
as a diplomatic envoy from the United
States to France, was induced by the
death of his brother to give prolonged
and serious consideration to the prob
lens OF immortality. He conceived the
plan of publishing a twentieth cen
fury bulletin OF the subject, presenting
the evidence advanced by science,
philosophy and common sense" to
show that there is future life. With
this object in view, he addressed the
quest ton: What is the strongest and
best reason known to the world for the
belief that mans soul lives on after the
death of the body?" to number of
eminent scientists, philosophers and
theologians il America. England,
France. Germany, Italy and Russia.
The result of Mr. Thompson's invest
igation is embodied in book entitled
The Proofs of Life After Death. "
which is composed, in large part. OF the
expressions of opinion evoked by his
inquiry. We quote the following rep
resentative tracts:
DR.. Cesare Lombroso of the Univers-
ity of Turi1-The question you put to
nc is not one that has as vet been
solved with scientific certainty. But
there is a great proba bility now given
us through psychical and spiritistic re-
searches that there is continued eX-
istence of the soul after death, pre-
serving Il weak identity, to which the
persistent soul can add new life and
growth from the surrounding media.
Sir Oliver Lodge, president of the
English Society for Psychical Re-
search-1f any one cares to hear what
sort of conviction has been borne in
upon my own mind, as a scientific man,
by some twenty years familiarity with
these questions which concern us
tpsychical research), 1 am very willing
to reply frankly as l can. First, then,
L am, for all personal purposes, con-
WINGED of the persistence of human ex-
istence beyond bodily death; and al
though l am unable to justify that be-
lief in full and complete manner, yet
it is a belief which has been produced
by scientific evidence.
Professor ]. II. Hyslop of Columbia
university-When [ look over the whole
field of the phenomena, and consider
the suggestions that must be made to
escape spiritism which not only one
aspect of the case, but every Incl
dental feature of it strengthens, I see
no reason except the suspicious of my
neighbors for withholding assent.
Camille Flammarion, secretary of the
French Astronomical society-What we
call matter" vanishes when scientific
analysis thinks to grasp it. But we
find as the support of the universe and
the origin OF all form, force-the dy
manic element. The human being has
for essential principle the soul The
body is visible and transitory. Atoms
are indestructible. The energy which
moves atoms and governs the universe
is indestructible. The human soul is
indestruct,blc.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE.

Speaking of the racing stables of a
distinguished American. the London
World says: Mr.. Croker has got to-
gether a very useful stud, and it will
be surprising if his colors-Yale blue
jacket and cap with gold tassel-are
not frequently seen to the front during
the next two or three years"
"Seventy-nine years said Senator
Morgan when asked how long he had
been training for his present fight
on the canal treaty.
General Riciotti Garibaldi, who is
organizing an independent Italian
corps to help the Macedonians, was but
two years old when his famous father
defended Rome against the French.
Nine. Sarah Grand is described in an
English periodical as being at this time
"a bright, pretty woman in the prime
of life, with charming personality
and winning ways"
St Louis has real princess for her
visiting lists. The distinguished resi-
dent is Donna Marian Cell, the Prin-
cess Lignori. whose mother was an
American woman and who has come
from Italy to bring up her children in
America.

DR.. Paul JoiTe, president Of Society
for Experimental Psychology, Lille
F'ra1ce-The spirit of man progresses
every day as his bodily forces decline,
ard far from growing old. it broadens,
develops and fortfies itself day by day.
Medical observation shows that when,
at given time, the organ whose use
IS to bring in evidence this intelligence
IS no longer apt to fulfill its functions,
1t is not intelligence that disappears,
but the link that connected it in it's
relations with the outside world; the
phenomenon that takes place is analo-
gous to that Of SLEEP.
Alfred Russell Wallace, English scien-
fist and spiritualist-It psychical re-
search further demonstrates, by direct
evidence as conclusive as the nature of
the case admits, thai the so-called dead
are still alive-that our friends are
, often with US, though unseen, and can
give direct proof of a future life. which
SO many crave, but for want of which
so many live and die in anxious doubt.
Professor Simon NeWcomb, American
astronomer am sorry to say that
have never been able to think out any
satisfactory theory on the subject of
the continuance of the conscious soul
of man after death.
Elmer Gates, professor of psychol-
ogy and psychurgy, Washington. D. C.
All possibilities are opened to con-
seriousness, and the possibilities o: the
universe are infinite; aid among these
possibilities arc those of an endless
progressive existence in Il universe at
whose head is an Infinite Mind, of
which we are functional parts.
/ Andrew Lang, English literateur-I

! is a fair presumption that in time data
for the formation Of Gc opinion rlay
