SOUGHT TO CONVERT POET.
Rrether of Tennyson Would Have Had
Him Join Spiritualists.

The world might have lost some OF
It's choicest poetry had certain spir-
itualist had his way. 1t was Freder-
lex Tennyson. who was so impressed
by spiritrapping that his head had
become as much turned as the table
whose waltzings used to delight him.
He desired his brother. the poet laur-
cate. to give up everything to propa-
gate sp.rituallsm. Frederick told the
old story OF an upmuslcal girl made
to play music by invisible influence
and of stout old gentleman who was
suddenly picked up and whizzed
through the thickness of solid walls
all in a moment. to be found in
courtyard OF house n mile and half
distant. whose gates were closed and
locked. The poet did believe there
was something In spiritualism-there
is n remarkable letter of his to Queen
Victoria on the suDject-but he could
nc swallow the story of the fat old
eentleman's travels. So he contented
with poetry and let spiritual

1902 there was an increase of nearly
$4,000 over the previous year, and
472,041 actions were heard out of l..
410,4S4 that were begun.
OF the number of appeal cases
heard, one in every three was sue.
cessful, against one in four or five,
years ago. The total cost of British
litigation in 1903 was placed at ST..
SOa,S75.
The best measure of litigation is
usually the number of laws or stat.
utes, and not, contrary to general be-.
lief, the number of lawyers. In this
country it is found generally to be the
case that the largest amount of liti.
cation does not originate among
Americans, but among newcomers
here, who appeal to the courts for
the adjudication of matters of trifling
account. In 70 other country in the
world are there so many damage suits
brought as there are in the United
States.

Made His Death Tragic

In squalid court in Edinburgh
many years ago a man who had been
notorious for his cruelties as slave
trader lay dying. Mental terror made
his end appalling to witness. Accord
irg to Scotch custom, the family
opened the door to let the spirit pass.
To their infinite horror the bloody
head of black man suddenly rolled
into the room. The family shrieked
with fright, the man on the bed gave
a yell of terror. They turned to his
bedside, but he expired as they
watched. When they looked toward
the door again the head had disap-
peared. There was splash of fresh
blood upon the floor to mark the spot
Where it had been, but nothing else
to certify that the horrid sight had
rot been creation of morbid imagi-
nation.

Dream of Nik0la Tesla

Nikola Tesla, the Inventor, shows
the possibilities Of the newspaper of
the future in an article in the Sci
entific American describing the sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy he prom
ises soon to perfect.
Mr. Tesla proposes to erect a CEN
trail tower to receive messages which
may be sent from all quarters of the
world by means of pocket instru-
ments carried by the senders.
BY means of this system each news
paper could erect a central tower
over its plant and, equipping it's re-
porters with pocket instruments, send
them forth into the world in quest of
news.
AS fast as reporter got 'story"
he could tick it off on his instrument
direct to the Office, where another op-
orator would dash it off on a type
writer and send it to an editor to pass
upon. Describing his system Mr.
Tesla says:
The results attained by me have
made my scheme of intelligence
transmission, for which the name of
world telegraphy' has been suggest
ed, easily realizable. 1t constitutes, 1
believe, in it's principle of operation,
radical and fruitful departure from
what has been done heretofore. I

have no doubt that it will prove very
efficient in enlightening the masses,
particularly in still uncivilized coun-
tries and less accessible regions, and
that it will add materially to general
safety, comfort and convenience, and
maintenance of peaceful relations. 1t
involves the employment of num-
Der of plants, all of which are capa.
BILE of transmitting individualized sig.
nails to the uttermost confines of the
earth. Each of them will be prefer
ably located near some important cen.
ter Of civilization, and the news it re.
ceives through any channel will be
flashed to all points of the globe. A
cheap and simple device, which might
be carried in ones pocket, may then
be set up somewhere on sea or land,
and it will record the worlds news,
or such special messages as may be
intended for it. Thus the entire earth
will be converted into a huge brain,
as it were, capable of response in
every one of it's parts. Since single
plant of but 1C0-horsepower can op.
crate hundreds of millions of instru-
ments, the system will have a virtual.
ly infinite working capacity, and it
must needs immensely facilitate and
cheaper the transmission of intelli.
gence."

This appearance of a negro's head
in the room of man dying after he
had committed innumerable barbara.
ties upon black slaves was strange
coincidence and nothing more. Prof.
Owen, the famous anatomist, had
been attending an anatomical lecture,
where the body of a negro had been
dissected. He was taking the head
home with him to examine it more
carefully. The streets were wet and
slippery. Just as he was passing the
open door of the house in which the
man lay dying he tripped and the
head, slipping from the cloth in
which he had it, rolled into the little
room. The cry Of the dying man d.
verified the attention of those who
were in the room, so that Owen was
able to secure his treasure ard de-
part unnoticed.

the skirt; but bolero and skirt ofte1
are made Of the same material, with
the waist OF some thinner fabric. Silk,
wool, linen and cotton are al! so used
and all can be rendered charming, but
nothing is lovelier than the linen and
mercerized materials, which are very
nearly legion.
The waist consists of fitted lining,
which can be used or omitted as pre-.
ferred, front and back of blouse, with
the full sleeves, and the bolero, which
IS quite separate and is made with
fronts, back and bell sleeves. The
waist is full and blouses over the
draped belt, the closing being made in.
visibly at the center, and is finished
with regulation stock. The bolero is
exceedingly simple and is laid in out
ward-turning plaits that fall over the
arms-eye seams.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is: For blouse,
Az yards 21 inches wide, yards 81
inches wide or 2A yards "A inches
wide, with one-half yard of all-over
lace and one-half yard of silk for belt;
for bolero, 2A yards 81 inches wide, 2
yard 27 inches wide or LIZ yards A

and 81 yards of fringe, to make as
illustrated.
The pattern 4753 is cut in sizes for
80, "a, SO, 80 and 40 inch bust
measure.

Why Lawyers Make Money!

There are 100000 civil suits
brought in this country every year. If
the plaintiffs were different in every
case, one in eight of the voting popu-
lation could be said to be a litigant.
AS it is, the actual number of differ
ent litigants is not in excess of $780,
00O-400,O0O plaintiffs and 100000 de-
fendants-which is 1 per cent of the
total population of the country, now
about S0,000,O00.
The number of lawsuits brought in
year in France is $4,000.
In Italy-Italians are much inclined
10 litigation-it is 100000 and in
Germany it is 100000, very much
larger number, both actually and rel
atively. than the number in the Unit
cd States.
Civil actions of all kinds begun last
year in Great Britain and Ireland
numbered about 100000, or one for
nearly every tenth male or female
adult in the United Kingdom. In

Garden Soma,

Forgive me, in that kissed your lips
Too fiercely or too soon:
1t was the fault of the nightingale
Singing against the moon.
If Reason swerved in brief eclipse
The while l sinned my sin,
opposed to Love, it must always fail
Since Love must always win.
The flowers rejoiced in that kiss Of ours.
Even as they were fafn
The great night moths should ravage
their hearts,
Seeking for golden gain;
Bringing them pollen from other flowers,
Set open through the night
To play their motionless, mystic parts
In Natures marriage rite.
And who was I. to resist, Withstand
That charm of fragrant gloom?
A summer night has thousand powers
OF scent and stars and bloon,;
Caressed your silken hair,
o, lay the blame on the Orange flowers,
You know how sweet they were!

ShawIs a Fad of Fashion,

Shawls are Seen in rather unusual
numbers. There are enough of them to
suggest a revival of the 1880 and 1850
fashion. The silk shawls are special
ly attractive, embroidered in self or a
contrasting color. Pale salmon pink
is embroidered in white; dull rich ma
genta has pattern worked in red of
a deeper tone. Of course all the usual
pinks, pale blues and creams are also
strongly in evidence. Pongee color,
with stitchery in white or yellow, is
pretty and more unusual.
