EXPERIMENTS I'M TELEPATHY.

Translated from the Paris Cosmos,
by Public Opinion.-In my efforts to
discover the mechanism of telepathtc
communication l used a Roman medi-
UNI, Politi, taking him to the house of
NJ de Albertis at Joinville. Having
read that Mesmer had at one time put
a woman TO sleep by placing his cane
i'm basin of water. the woman having
placed her umbrella in the same basin,
/ decided to see If the same effects
could be obtained with my medium.
went one morning with Politi to the
border of the Marne and requested him
TO place his cane in the water, where
also placed my stick at some PAGES
upstream, at the same time making a
part produced a violent contraction of
the arm of the medium, who nearly fell
into the water, although L subsequently
discovered that the interposition of a
boat between myself and the medium
succeeded in arresting The effect. We
then returned to the garden of the
house and proceeded TO make a series
of tests.
NJ de Albertis Joined us in our prom
elade. and the following is his account
in an italian journal of the experiments
made: DE Rochas, Politi, and myself
went TO the border of the Marne, a
river with breadth of $50 feet and a
depth of from 10 to 30 feet, being very
rapid. De Rochas was rowed to the
middle of the river. while Politi and
myself took another boat and descend
ed the current, stopping at a distance
of about 1900 feet from De Rochas.
l had agreed with De Rochas that
when he made a signal by raising his
cane. | was TO request the medium TO
place his own stick in the water, the
back of the medium being toward De
Rochas. All of this was done. De Ro-
chas gave the signal. l gave the order
to Politi, who placed his cane in the
water and waited. A few seconds
passed before the medium felt any eff
feet. then suddenly his arm was vio-
lently shocked, his hand contracted;
he resisted with all his strength, but
it was evident that the cane was pow
ertully drawn toward the bottom or
the river. This experiment was repeat
ed many times, and gave with every
trial the same result The following
day experiments were made on the
tracks of a railroad, which experiments
seem to indicate that the effects may
be transmitted for a much greater dis
tance along this sort of a conductor.

BITS OF FEMININITY.

Liberty satins are being made up in
shirtwaist suits.
Soft kid belts are wider than ever
assuming the proportions of actual
girdles.
The new all-over Valenciennes laces
are beautiful for blouses, Jokes,
sleeves, etc.
Linen altar laces are most effec-
tive in gowns when combined with
heavy linens.
Draped sashes of liberty satin with
pointed fronts will form an important
feature of many gowns.
1t is predicted that the hat of golden
brown straw will take the place or

Quite as many narrow plaitings are
being worn on the sleeve as in the
early season, and their presence is al
ways a charming addition to the
lovely blouse.

HOLDING IDEALS.

How many bright, energetic young
men have been graduated from col
lege, determined to make themselves
felt in the world, and yet within ten.
fifteen or twenty years are found
tagging behind, their standards grow.
ing lower each successive year, and
their minds hardening into ruts.
Many a shiftless, unsuccessful
merchant, many doctor without
practice, many lawyer without
clients, many a clergyman without a
pulpit and many a tradesman whose
trade has left him are lacking be.
cause, after time, they grew careless
and Indifferent, and ceased to hold
themselves up to the standards they
elected in early manhood.
Mans life" Emerson tells us, sis
a progress, not a station" Every.
thing in nature and everything in our
own souls-if we have not smothered
the voice that speaks to us-call on us
to move forward, to keep forever
moving, and to avoid ruts as danger
Gus to the supreme object of life.
No man ever succeeded or ever will
succeed in his life or work who does
not keep moving toward his ideal.
Amy man is successful" says
Chauncey NJ. Depew, who does we'll
what come to his hand, and who
works to improve himself so that he
may do it better. The man with an
ideal, struggling to carry it out, is a
successful man. OF course, there
are all grades of ideals, and the man
with the highest, given the proper
tionate energy, is the most successful.
The world makes way for that kind of
young man. l know we would do ii
in the railroad world"
Yes, Mr.. Depew, the whole world is
ready to adopt it. 1t is the law of
compensation in action. No man can
form high ideals and work toward
them all his life without being sought
by the world. Keep your ideals in
sight, young man; work for them;
live for them; be willing, if necessary,
to die for them, and all things win
gravitate toward you: all the powers
of the universe will combine in help
ing you to reach the heights on which
you have fixed your eyes.

vic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due 10 catarrh. The majority
of the people think that eatarrh is a dis
ease confined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to
attack any organ of the body; throat,
bronchial tubes, lungs. stomach, kidneys
and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this dis

and some late occurrences have re

Adams was in the Erie postof1ice and
was called out to the sidewalk by
Brooks. Brooks renewed the quarrel
and hot words followed. Brooks and
his two sons attacked Adams and be-

attempted to defend himself Brooks
pulled out big knife and began TO

SEES FLAW IN ORDINANCE
Dealer Says Council Missed Point in Regu-
Lion of Sale of Gasoline.


Is your grocer labelling your gasO-
inc and Kerosene cans?
The ordinance requiring him to do
. is now in force and he has been
notified by the fire department.
While the dealers all agree that the
ordinance is aimed in the right di-
rctiOn. some of them hold that it is
faulty.
Il think the city council has missed
ne point entirely" said IL grocer to
IL Argus reporter. In support of his
tatement he pointed to part of the
ply Of the enactment that had been
furnished him by the city and which
eads:
NO person. firm or corporation
hall sell or offer for sale, carry or
leliver gasoline or Kerosene in the
city Of Rock Island by retail without
first affiXing to or FASTING on the can
u ether receptacle in which such gas
1line or Kerosene is contained and so
sold CT delivered, Il paper tag or label
red. ON which shall he printed in
bold-faced type the words Gasoline
II Kerosene whichever the case
nay be. Such tag or label is not to
3e less than four O. inches by two
~ inches in size.
1T is the intention of this ordinance
hat every time sale of gasoline or
kerosene is made by retail, that a tag
II label. as above described, shall be
attached To or pasted on the can or
other receptacle containing it,"
'NUw, that i all Il big mistake,
continued the grocer. AS YOU see,
both cans must be treated i'm the same
manner. Both are tagged each time
they are filled, the tag is red in each
ease. and the only thing 10 distinguish
between the contents i the difference
between the names gasoline and
kerosene.
The purpose of the new ordinance
: to prevent mistakes in filling the
cans. In order to do this in the best
manner the difference in the handling
of the two cans ought To be made as
great as possible. Nov if / were do
ing il. | would in the first place make
the labels Of different color. putting
red, for instance, on gasoline and vel
low on kerosene. Then. instead of Ia
beling the latter kerosene l would
make it oil That's the way il i done
in other cities. and it seems TO me
that = what the council here meant
to provide for"
