SCIENCE AND THE MEDIUMS
Facts Once Held to Be Miracles, But
Conceded by Modern
Thought.

Spiritualism Is the successor of the
medieval occultism and of the older
magic. To-day science, without accept
and in these troubled waters almost all
the facts upon which the new meta
physics is founded have been fished up.
Like magnetism, says Vance Thomp-
son IN .Everybody's, 1t has drawn the
attention of physicians to the phenon-
ena of induced sleep and has given
many of the date for the study Of
hypnosis and suggestion. The mediums,
who bclieve, like the ancient pytho-
nesses, that they are possessed by
foreign spirits, have served for the
study of the change of personality and
|telerathy. And it has shown that the
prodieies, diabolic and divine, record
ed in all early religions were not SO
fabulous as the critical fancied.
At al events science admits that
there is force-call 1t psychic as
Crookes does, neuric with Baretz, vital
with Baraduc, or the odic force of
Reichenbrach-a force which can be
measured and described, which leaves
Its mark on the Photographic plats,
which emanates from every living be-
ing, which acts at a distance, which
saves CT destroys. Plato knew it.
Great wizards like Cardan made use
Of it. The charitans like Cagliostro
blunGered upon 1t. The scientists have
the last word.
What definite facts has science ac-
nj olo 80
that is classic now The evidence for
|telepathy is indubitable. That may
seem bold statement; 1t is a COM
monplace for those who are in touch
with the latest experiments of the
metaphysic clinics. Only few years
ago-before Pasteur came-it would
have been deemed sheer idiocy to talk
Of studying typhoid fever or cholera or
erysipelas In a laboratory. Telepathy
is an acquired certainty-as much as
Harveys theory of the circulation of
the blood, which three academies of
physicians declared impossible.
And the explanation of the strange
phenomena: Are they hints and in
stigations from another world-the In
tervention of spirits of the dead, of
angels or demons? This is the opin-
ion held by almost all the sects of the
occult, those who worship in the hun
dred and one little religions of mysti-
cism. Science does not go quite so far.
1t declares:
1. There exist In nature certain un-
known forces capable of acting on
matter.
(This covers all the objective phe-
nomena of metaphysics, such as the
transport of bodies from one place to
another, luminosity. etc.
2. We possess other means of know
Ing than those of reason or the senses.
(This applies to the subjective phe-
nomena of metaphysics. including tele-
pathy, second sight, clairvoyance)

THE BOY AND THE JUDGE.
Typical Instance of Denver Ju-
dicial Celebrity's Treatment
of Youth.

Seven years ago, before there was
such thing as juvenile court, a boy
OF nine was arrested in Denver for
burglary. He was brought into the
criminal court, tried as burglar, and
sent to Jail. He served a term of years.
during which he learned thoroughly the
trade which he had been accused Of ply
ing. When he was released, writes
Frances Maule Bjorkman, in the Amer
lean Monthly Review of Reviews. he
began to practice In earnest He was
rearrested, recommitted, and, after
second term. turned loose again, more
accomplished burglar than before. A
few months ago he was shot at by the
Denver police in an attempt to escape
third arrest. He was captured and
brought into the juvenile court, still a
mere child that ought to have been go
ing to school.
Judge Ben" B. Lindsey, who presides
over the tribunal, was confronted by u
bold, hardened and unnaturally sharp
young expert in crime who had mysti-
fed the police by telling half dozen
different stories. Judge Lindsey began
by telling the boy that he didn't believe
him to be half as tough kid" as the
police had made him out, and that he
would not be sent up" If he was square
with the court and made clean breast
Of his trouble with the cops"
This new treatment got from the boy
his real story He had been led into his
first offense by desire for a knife with
wi RI Ia fof
fused to get him one, and he broke into
barber shop and took razor. Ac-
cording to the letter of the criminal law,
the boy had committed a burglary. AS
there was no Juvenile" law at the tim2,
he was dealt with as a professional
housebreaker. Asked about his first
trial, he said to Judge Lindsey:
Jaw, de guy wild de whiskers, wot sat
up on de high bench locked over at &c
cop and de cop he says: Dis Is a
very bad kid: he broke into SmitRs'
barber shop and took r. zor, and he al
mits it, yer honor Den de guy on de
high bench sends me up widout givin'
me a chanct to say a void"
Thus, the boy was well started on a
criminal career before he was ten years
old. Fortunately, he fell into the hands
of the Denver juvenile court, which had
been established in the interval between
his second and third arrest, while he
was still able to pull up" Instead OF
telling him that he was bad boy and,
sending him to fail again. Judge Lind-I
sey told him that ne was bully fell
low" and set him free-no probation. |
To-day that boy is still going uphill asI
fast as he was going downhill before.

GENESIS OF SALLY LUNN.
Popular a Century or
More Ago.

How many of our readers know the
excellences of Sally Lunn? The
world whirls round SO fast that 1t is
possible not one In hundred could tell
what Sally Lunn Is, says London
Modern Society. The genesis of this
toothsome delicacy is to be found in
Edinburgh society a hundred years
ago. 1t was before railways had made
London the capital of Britain-in the
days when Scotch peers and gentlemen
had their town houses in Edinburgh
and when Edinburgh could offer soci-
ETY. second to none in distinction and
chic.
1t was when the new regiment Of
Fencibles, raised by Lord Breadalbane
at the end of the eighteenth century,
was turning the heads of Edinburgh
parties became the fashion. Prince
Leopold, widower of Princess Char
lotte of Wales. loitered In Edinburgh
on his way south from visit to Tay-
mouth castle, and many OF the princi-
pal hostesses of the city fought for the
honor of entertaining him to tea. Miss
Sarah Lowndes, "a lady of the first
fashion," then Invented the cake called
afterward by her name, Sally
Lowndes," a name which slipped easily
into the Sally Lunn" known to this
day to north country pastry cooks.
Soon afterward Miss Sally married and
a daughter of hers became the wife Of
Mai. Dallas Yorke of Walmsgate, York
shire, the mother of the present duch-
ess of Portland. We have never in

Vanity holds general dominion

over those of the other sex; but an
uptown milliner relates case Oh tnei
most aggravated form that is al
most unparalleled. She was arrang..
ing her stock late: one afternoon last
week, when she was interrupted Dy
the hurried entrance of a woman,
who eIcitedly Informed her that tsne5
wanted the trimming of her new hat
changed. She said that it had been
trimmed on the wrong side. The
trimming is on the left side-just
where it ought to be-" were the
words of the milliner in reply, some
what puzzled. 1T doesn't T 4ke any
difference whether it ougnt 20 be In
front or back, or right or left; It's
got to be on the church side," Not
ing the gasp of the astonished mil.
liner, she continued: "Yes, the
church side. I sit right next to the
wall in church, and I'm not going to
have all that trimming next the wall.
I want it on the other side for the
whole congregation to see." The
trimming was promptly placed on

The LudWigs.

So Duke Ludwig of Bavaria, now
seventy-fve years old, wishes to con-
tract a third morganatic marriage.
His second wife, now living, is only
thirty-five, but she is too old. The
Duke is now in love with young
singer at the Munich Opera-House,
and as he is a proper man, like Wer-
ther in Thackeray's immortal ballad,
there must be~a divorce and then a
marriage. The Wittelsbach Lud-
wigs have not been fortunate with
women. Ludwig the Strong, in the
fifteenth century, suspecting his
wife's fidelity, pitched the lady in
waiting out of a window and sent
the wife to the scaffold. Lola Mon
tez played the mischief with Ludwig
l., and Sophie Charlotte, who as the
Duchess d'Alencon was burned in the
bazaar fire at Paris, might have made
Ludwig II. reasonably happy if for
some reason-several were wide
spread in Munich-he had not brok-
en- the betrothal. And now the old
Duke is hunting trouble. Of course
If the young singer does not become
Ludwigs wife she will come either
to the Metropolitan or the Manhattan
Opera House. We see Messrs. Con-
ried and Hammerstein bidding for
her. But the New York public may
not be so musically easy as the Duke

wrap. Also it can be made from
washable materials, such as linen'
pique and the like. In reality it is
quite simple, but the trimming is so
arranged as to give vest effect. In
the illustration nut brown taffeta is
trimmed with bands of the material
embroidered in shades of brown with
touches of gold, but various comhi-
nations might be suggested. The
shaped bands can be either of the
same or contrasting material, and
either embroidered or trimmed in
any way that may be liked.
The jacket is made with fronts
and back, all of which are tucked
and stitched with belding silk. The
trimming bands are shaped and are
arranged over the jacket on indi-
Gated lines, leaving the narrow
space at the front that suggests the
vest. The sleeves are the pretty
ones that extend just below the ell
bows and are tucked at their lower
edges, where they are completed by
bands that match those upon the
jacket.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and a
quarter yards twenty-one, three and
a half yards twenty-seven or two
yards forty-four inches wide, with
seven and three-quarter yards of mar
row braid and two and half yards
of lace for frills.
