PEDESTRIANS MIGHT WALK ON
Stills UNTIL MUDDY DAYS
ARE OVER.

Before enjoying. the pleasures of a
well-paved street, residents of East
Minneapolis seem to be doomed to go
thru siege Of discomfort. The only
comfort the pedestrians find is the as
surance of the city engineer that after
a short time it will be better than ever
before, and that those who will only
wait in patience are sure to receive
their reward. While the new pavement
trail avenue, at it's present state it takes
a good deal of persuasion to just see it
in that light. The mud is terrible,
frightful and there is no adjective
strong enough to describe it. It is soft
and Of the clingy kind and, what is the
worse of it, it Is all over.
"But wait,' say the aldermen and
the city engineer. They explain that
the state of mud is characteristic of q
nature does not help in furnishing the
mud, the city engineer and his staff
will. After the pavement is laid and
the blocks are all in place, the sand is
laid in q good layer on the street and
then it is wetted to sink in good and

A remarkable pamphlet on the subject
Of retrogression Of memory or thinking
backwards has just been published by
Colonel Rochas, former director of the
Polytechnic (the French Woolwich), who

theory of reincarnation. He has hypno-

them believe they were ten, thirty and

some remarkable experiments were
made with a woman Of IS, who was
hypn0tized and to whom was suggested
that her age was gradually diminishing.
While in the hypnotic stage she described
incidents in her life that occurred when
she was 20. She told Of her conf1rma-
tion at the age of IA and described her
theft OF q half-penny from her grand
father. Gradually she relapsed into baby
language and at last her words be-
came unintelligible and she could only
make signs. .=a As.. :
Colonel Rochas went on with his ques-
ttons and then the woman replied In
the deep voice Of a man. She said her
name was Jean Bourbon and that she
was villager. Colonel Rochas caused
inquiries to be made and found that q
man of that name had lived in the village
the woman mentioned as far back as
1872. After three quarters of an hours
further questioning the woman replied in
the voice of an old woman called Car.

Experiments were also made with two
other women and both gradually grew

CANARY BIRD ACTORS

Two canary-birds appear in the first
act Of Leah Kleschna" and help to give
atmosphere to the lodgings Of the
Kleschnas in Paris. The birds made
their debut on the stage when Mrs.
Fiske produced the play last De-
ceinber in New York. The night Of their
debut the bird went to- roost at sunset
and great was their disn1ay at being set
in the glare: Of the footlights two hours
later They f1uttered and hoped about
IN their ex ,iternent. but as part Of the
business of the play Is for Schram
(W1lIiam B. Mack) to feed them the
interruption of their slumbers was not
altogether unpleasant. III q. -.
After the first two performances the
birds began to get used to their new
mode of life and now they refuse to
go to roost until the play is over and
the lights are out Even a cloth thrown
over their cage does not deceive them
The canaries have also adopted another
habit common to actors that of sleeping
late in the mornings. Long after the
SUN has risen and birds of normal habits
should be ;, up and about the ~''Leaf

perches with I. their heads under theil

according to the anglican Hymnology,"
which Is semi-offcial' estimate Of the popu-

first of all, and Awake, My Soul.' is given
the sixth place. He wrote both these hymns
while in his charge at Winchester, the scene Of

more than half done, over 81, 100000 has
been expended, and the Good Govern
ment association, after Investigating
hesmatter, made charges Of fraud. Lit
tie attention was paid to these charges
until several prominent politicians be.
gan to desert Lomasney. Nearly all Of
these are in some way related to the
dreds of thousands Of dollars from the
city for this work in the Fenway.
Mayor Whelton has engaged Louis
Brandeis as counsel for the city and has
ordered that the matter of these con-
tracts be investigated and carried into
the courts. The politicians who went
over to Fitzgerald, and who will be hit
by this action are Alderman James
Doyle, Harry Nawn,. John II. Lee, Con-
gressman John A. Sullivan and Joseph
]. Corbett. Nawn is one Of the largest
received over 100000 for it; Sullivan s
father-in-law has had some Of the rich
est contracts, and close connections of
the others are also interested. Mr.
Brandeis, who will have charge Of the
matter, is an investigator of the same
type as Charles E. Hughes of New
York. He IS a prominent lawyer and
at present is counsel of the policyhold
ers in New England who have organized
to protect their rights in the insurance
investigation now going on in New
York. Mr.. Bandeis has2 also beer
prominent in the Good Government as

undertake the investigation without

supply OF such help is greater than the
demand. and that II may be had ut

situation IN this city. reports Consul
Cuneo from Turin, Italy. / have
known parties to look for domestic
help for weeks In vain. The wages
paid for hired girls vary from 50 to
Sc and even $40 n month. The price
is governed by the employees skill and
merits and the wealth OF the employer.

gent and ambitious young women seek
