Ancient Ventriioquisrn.

Fentriloquism was undoubtedly
known both to the Jews and to the
Egyptians. 1t was used by many per.
sons for purposes of deception. The
wizards who employed it declared that
their familiar spirit" resided in the
abdomen, whence the voice was sup
posed to proceed. The Old Testament
Scriptures abound with denunciations
both Of persons who had these IA
miiiar spirits and of those who went
to seek their advice and assistance.
They We're treated as though they were
in familiar intercourse with the evil
one and according TO Jewish law re-
ceived no mercy. Instances, however,
are very frequent In much later his
tory of deception being successfully
practiced by persons having this pecul-
lar gift.

q. Mann, the father, was a Kentuck-
ian and veteran of the Mexican war,
and later he was captain Of an I'LL
nois regiment in the great war Of 1861
66. He was horticulturist, and his
business was to interest the farmers of
central Illinois in fruits, to which end
he established nursery and sold
young trees. Mrs. Mann was a daugh-
ter Of Virginia, of branch of the Dab
ney family. Young Mann was educat-
ed in the common schools and at the
University Of Illinois, whence he was
graduated at the age Of twenty with
the highest honors of his class, and
since he has distinguished himself as
a public man the university has taken
pride In comforting degrees upon him.
After his graduation Mr.. Mann entered
the Union College Of Law at Chicago,
by which he was graduated in 1881.
The following year he was married to
Miss Columbia Of Champaign, ILL.,, set
tied within the present city limits Of
Chicago and began the practice of his
profession. He is serving his fifth
