Some Invisible Certainties.

The change OF personality; that is CLASSIC
now. The evidence for telepathy is indub!-
table. That may seem a bold statement; s.
Is a commonplace for those who are s.
touch with the latest experiments OF the
metaphysics clinics. Only few years ago
before Pasteur came-it would have been
deemed sheer idiocy to talk of studying ty
phoid fever or cholera or erysipelas In
laboratory. Telepathy Is an acquired Ger
tainty-as much as Harveys theory OF tn
circulation of the blood. which three acad-
emies of physicians declared impossible.
And the explanation OF the strange phe
nomena; are they hints and lnstigations
from another world-the intervention o.
spirits of the dead, OF angels or demons
This Is the opinion held by almost all thc
sects of the occult, those who worship r.
the hundred and one little religions o.
mysticism. Science does not so quite s.
far. 1t declares:
First. There exist in nature certain IN
known forces capable of acting on matter
(Thls covers all the objective phenomena o.
metaphysics. such as the transport of bodies
from one place to another, luminosity, etc J
Second. We possess other means of know
ing than those Of reason or the senses
CThis applies to the subjunctive phenomeni
of metaphysics. including telepathy, seconc
sight. clairvoyance).

A Wonderful Canary.

From the Boston Herald
A wonderful canary bird belongs to a
family in Everett. The little fellow has
the freedom of the house, flying whittier
soever he lIsteth at all times. While good
friends with every member OF the family,
he is particularly attached to the child OF
the house, a little girl four or five years
old. When the child comes where the ca
nary Is he rushes excitedIy to meet her
and begins the most frantic caresses, perch
Ing on her head and shoulders and finally
nesting under her ear. where he reaches
round to the rosy chin and lips and kisses
them in true bird fashion. But not con-
tent with this ardent demonstration. he In
sists on making the little girl open her
mouth. and then he daintily taps each tooth
with his tiny beak. If she refuses to part
her lips ito see what the bird will do" as
she says he scoids and fiutters and even
pecks at her cheek until he finally obtains
his own way again. What the idea can be,
unless Mr.. Canary thinks the white teeth
are bits of sugar or cuttlefish, Il IL difficult
to conjecture. That he has some method
in his caprice is quite evident. To no one
else does he show any such marked at
tention.

Give Your Horse More Water.
From Outing Magazine

Water should be before horses et all

should ever be offered and no night ligt is
ever turned out until every animal has had
his chance at as many brimmip.s buckets as
he will take. The shy drinker may be
tempted by many articles, like mixing a
little moasses. or salt, oatmeal or fax
seed jelly. or bran, etc, etc, with the
water, and constantly varying the flavor
Horses may even have all they want right
after feeding provided they have not been
deprived of water for some time previous
Many shy drinkers, like shy feeders who
are generally nervous. take all nourishment
best at night when 1t is dark and quiet
and morning finds the empty manger and

Chinese Burglars.

Everything in China is under the control
of a union of some sort. We are not sur
prised at this in the case of the carpenters
and mechanics, but it does seem a little I'M
usual that when man wants to burgle,
il he Is o Chinaman he must do so accord
ing to the sules of one of these organiza-
tons When the desire seizes him to rob,
he must first consult the officers of the
burglars union for PERMISSION. This is
given him for a certain proportion of the
profits OF the burglary. Such an action
here In America would be called graft"
which means hush money"
Burglars go in parties, not IN ones or
tWos, as with us. An ordinary party in
China consists of hundred or more. They
surround the house and plumber il, but man
age so Skillfully that the occupants cannot
offer any resistance. When a house is to
be robbed the thieves scatter narcotic
drugs about the rooms, which have no effect
upon themselves. but will put Europeans
but this sleep will last until long after the
robbery is over.
When a thief enters a house to rob, the
first thing he does is to remove his clothes,
the next to oil his body all over His pig
tail is then wound around his head, having
previously been stuck full of needles. If by
some uniuCky mischance some dweller in
the house has not fallen asleep as expected
and should attempt to grasp the arm or leg
OF the burglar he will find him a slippery
customer indeed, for he will slip off like an
eel. If he should attempt to seize him by
the pig tail he will let go of this in a hurry,
FOR needles are very long and sharp in
China.
Who says the Chinese are stupid people?

Early Use of Skates.

Holland is the home and birthplace of
skating. In country of lakes and canals
the necessity OF walking and running on ice
was felt by the boys and girls of Holland
as soon they could run about at all
The bone skates, the only kind the early
people knew anything about. have been
found in one of the mounds of which a
Friedland village was built. These were
fastened to the feet by straps passed
through holes in the bones. A Danish his
torian mentions this sport as long ago as
1874.
Where hockey originated-ah, that is a
question. The old game known as hurley in
ireland and as shinty in Scotland has been
always held in high esteem by the people.
The game itself was a modification of a
sport known to the Romans.
The Scotch sfinty was decidedly rough
sport. The ball. or puck" was big leath-
er bag stuffed with feathers, The weapons
used by the players were bats, clubs or
sticks. Often the stick was a piece of the
root of a tree with a hard, heavy knot at
the end like loaded club. The game was
bred players on each side. The game was
simply mad scramble after the ball across
the goal of the opposing party. We are
told that this form of shinty has died out.
We are not surprised, but feel that 1t might
be because all the players were either
manned or killed outright. Compared with
shinty. modern foot ball is a most restful
pastime
Hockey as played today Is a distinctly
modern game, less than twenty-five years
old. The game was first played In Montreal,
and soon became popular Now all col
leges and every city in the country has Its
hockey teams, where matches are watched
with the greatest enthusiasm.
Hockey is a very fine exercise. It Is a
little severe, but for the young and active
1T has many recommendations. Falls are
common but severe injuries rare.
