abroad, and they were waiting, grief
stricken and detected, upon the hill

old commander on the gray horse.
Then occurred one Of the most notable
scenes in the history Of the war. In

Psychic Phenomena,

 For instance, ''the hun of girl elop- ed with lover, leaving the physical body informed by the DO only, and there she lay in bed, a semfconscious invalid, for several years, until the re- turn of a runaway pair, who had been duly married and were bringing home a a'couple of children. While the aston ished parents were wondering what to make of it all, the girl in the bed got up and went out to meet herself.

Weighing Touch,

A remarkable instrument Is that used for the purpose of measuring the sense of touch. This device consists of a series of little disks, each three milli- meters in diameter, suspended by fine, delicate thread from wooden handles, the last being stuck into holes round block. The lightest disk is taken out and brought into contact with the skin of the subject. he having his eyes closed. If nothing is felt a heavier disk is employed, and so on until the pressure becomes noticeable. The disks weigh from one to twenty milli- grams, and with their aid it has been proved that the sense of touch in the average person is conveyed by two mill ngrams on the forehead, temple and back of the forearm, i've for the nose and the chin and fifteen for the inner surface of the fngers.-New York Trib- une,

sywashington, Jan. 22.-"We have not
 asked and will not ask for clemency, S and we hope our friends will not urge
 us to pursue such a course. To ask
 pardor would render useless all the trial and sacrifice which our men of

 x This is some of the language used in

 protests against the action of Justice sWright in sentencing them to impris- gpnment for contempt of court.
 ( < President Gompers heads his state fnent Judge Wright's Denial of Free

 by the justice,'' but he joins with sMessrs Mitchell and Morrison in de-
 claring that they would not center in- \ to competition with the honorable scourt in the use of invectives, rancor or scathirfg denunciation."
 That the Ia DOT leaders 1ully UnQer- stand the responsibility they assume in making their statements is shown dby their declaration that even though they may be held in additional con- S3empt we are willing to accept the Seonsequences. Y It may be necessary to { the preservation of the liberties of the people that a judge should be dis 6beyed< { Judges sometimes usurp
