The sixth Sense

DR.. Paul CaTus. the editor OF the open
Court. refers to a belief which prevailed
in the Middle Ages that the faculty OF
prophetic dreams was q sixth sense,
which was outwardly indicated by the
possession Of SIX fingers or toes Only a
searching critic may have discovered that
Pope Sixtus " IS represented by Raph-
ael IN the Sistlne Madonna as possessed
OF six fingers. YET It is plainly visible 10
every one who takes the trouble TO look
for It. In RaphaeTs magnificent painting
OF the marriage Of the Virgin to st.
Joseph On the Biera at Milan) the groom s
foot IS left bare. which incident is not
fortuitoUs, but offers the artist an op-
portunity to show that Joseph was a man
possessed Of the sixth sense, the faculty
Of dream.

LOCKED CHILDREN IN.
Mother Went Shopping and the House
Caught Fire.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Nov. 90
Agonized screams of little children
urning to death in their blazing home
caused neighbors to rush to Mrs. John
Koran's residence in this town. but
when they got there they found the
door locked and by the time they had
broken it in, a baby girl had persisted
in her cradle and her little brother
was perhaps fatally burned
The boy, three and one-haf years
cid, had been tied to the doorknob by
his mother to prevent him from play
ing with matches. He did not get the
matches, but fire fell from the stove.
It was the same old story. The
mother wishe to go shoppingg, and
locked the children in, not wanting to
take them with her.

the first thing noticed was a woman
and dog hitched to a cart. A man
was driving them. 1 must confess
this did not relieve my inconsistencies
often saw barefooted women scrub
ping cabs in the business districts
However. I used to enjoy visiting
the meerschaum pipe factory at
Vienna. Without going into the de-
tails of the operation the blocks OF
meerschaum were carved into shape
and treated with a kind of wax.
1.-THE city which appealed to me
more than any other Of the foreign
places We visited was Venice. Italy.
No one is in a hurry there. Every one
takes their time and moves leisurely-
SO different from the rush of Amer
lean cities. When a person goes there
they realize something is lackirg-he
doesn't know just what at first, but
after while he knows that he misses
the noise of wheels and the sight of
horses and vehicles. AS Is well known
all traffic and travel is done by means
OF gondolas on the canals.
Hand-Holders' Heaven.
This gives a wonderful romantic
charm to the place. On moonlight
nights the canals are filed with gon-
dolas. Musicians in the front play on
stringed instruments while young
couples are seated at the stern. The
music, the lights from the houses and
tend to make a person sentimental
SO I am told. They say it inclines
young people to hold hands, although
Of course, it does not affect people in
that way if they have been married
any length of time.
"Of course I visited the Bridge of
Sighs.' which connects a prison and
palace, and saw the place where
the mobiles were beheaded in the
good old days.
Plague of Flies in Egypt.
What impressed me the most
about Egypt? The heat and the flies.
1t was fearfully hot while we were
there. In the streets of Cairo we saw
many people sleeping right in the
would be so badly covered with flies
as to resemble a swarm of bees If I
am not mistaken it Is against the Mo-
hammedan religion to kill a fly. or
brush it away from a child's face I'M
til it is old enough to do that itself.
Consequently we also saw babes in
arms whose eyes and mouth would be
covered with the insects. Many chill
dren go blind from this neglect
Like other tourists we visited the
pyramids via camel-back and the
rocking motion of the beasts will
make a person seasick if you ride
them very far.
after we left Egypt we touched at
India and then went to Japan. Yoko-
hama was. more like an American
city than otherwise, the hotels being
run principally by Americans or Eng
lish AS to the japanese women
those saw were not pretty, although
they look that way in the pictures.
Truly I was glad when I landed in
America again. 1 appreciate my ma
tive land more than ever since I have
been abroad"
