He asked no questions whatever, ex- cept to know if the person to whom he was giving the reading wanted the ' truth, whether it was good or bad. Being answered in the affirmative, ne proceeded with his instructions for the reading. which were that the subject should write the name and the date of birth on one piece of paper, mothers maiden name on another. the name of the. person in whom the greatest inter- est centered on another, and then four important questions on separate slips of paper. This was done during Pro- lessor Josephs absence from the room. He left the room and his directions were carried out the paper folded and placed in hiding. but when the Profes- sor returned and the papers were placed on the table, he was much cha grined to lind that they had only been folded once. He then said that they must be folded and refolded so that there would be no possibility of his seeing one letter even of the writing. He again left the room, and each slip was folded as small and tight as poss.- ble and once more concealed in tho writer's pocket. The Professor came in, took his seat and asked the visitor If certain things were not of absorbing " the questions be laid on the table, each one remaining folded and never pass ing into the clairvoyants possession for an instant. He then took edcn subject in turn and answered the ques- ton asked minutely, the only connec- ton between him and the written mat ter being when the reporter took the, questions one at time, the contents of the folded paper not even being known to himself, and placed them on the clairvoyant's forehead. Bear in mind that the papers were not unfold ed; each one was picked up at ran dom by the questioner himself and the subjects inquired on were personal ar fairs that were unknown to any one. MT. Joseph made not mistake in read ing the questions. Whether ne an swered two of them correctly remains for the future to reveal. As to the names mentioned facts of personal hls- tory, the absorbing interetss Of the in- uuirers life he was absolutely correct, what his power Is and how he told these things, the writer does not know, hut that he worked very rapidly, that there was no outside assistance, ana that. last of all, he inspires those who eone in contract with him with the greatest confidence is vouched for
 It Is claimed that we are always ready to condemn and sheer and laugh at those things which we know least of The seeker after information who went to Professor Joseph for reading has consulted palmists, clairvoyants' etc, before for the sake of finding out whether nr not there was anything in ft. but always felt more or less skep- tical over the things which they claim cd to reveal. Some things they told correctly and some they missed but in regard to Professor Joseph, it must be acknowledged that so far as his reading the past and the present is concerned, whether or not his reading of the future is correct time alone can tell The questions he Answered. were answered unfavorably with but one ex- ception; the continued unfavorable an ewers caused a slight expression of dismay at which MT. Joseph said that he was sorry 70 foretell such an un- happy future but that he had been asked for the truth and was telling 1t exactly as it appeared to him There was no attempt to soften the unplcas ant statements or to hattcr and con ciIiate the person whom he knew was there for the purpose os telling thing exactly as they appeared and inform ing the public as to whether or not he was a fake or could do things that he professed to do
 In regard 70 certain business affairs he gave advice. That IS in telling cer- tain conditions that eN'sted and warn ing the inquirer against .ertain people. The writer of thls article can truth. fully say that Profc-- J Seph's read ing was entirely satisfactory and coz rect up to date.
