A stenciling idea.

Steneiling ia large and bold designs
has long been used for the decoration
Of such household furnishings az por-
there's, curtains, couch-covers. cushions
and table.runners. but its possibilities
Ia dress decoration are only beginning
TO be realized stenciling Is now begin
ming to add TO the charm Of our frocks
and their dainty accessories.
The scarfs Of chiffon, crepe De chine,
net and silk null, which are so very
much the vogue inst now, can be made
much more effective by the introduction
Of delicate stencil design, one in soft
eolors, which is in harmony with the
hue Of the fabric that II adorns.
Artists oil.paint is the best medium
70 use IN stenciling articles that must
be Numbered, but there Il a dye that
comes in large tubes like artists oil
eolors that is much better than oil
paint FOR decorating such sheer and Cos
samer fabrics az crepe and chiffon, net
and silk null
The dye, diluted IN boiling water,
should Be tested on scrap Of the ma
terial until the right shade Is obtained.

to get rid Of him.
He studiously hunts and eats insects

way to destroy him, First whenever
sparrows roost around your house, de-.

A spiritualistic wonder.

Science in the past has had little use
for the marvels performed By so-called
esprit mediums Wonderful as such
feats have appeared at first, subsequent
Investigation 80 invariably proved them
to Sc Of fraudulent origin that the
scientist early dismissed them as I'M
worthy Of serious consideration.
That science maintains this same POI
sition to-day there can be no
doubt, and vet an apparent exception
Is certainly being made in the case Of
Eusapia Palladino, the Italian medium,
who is now paying her first visit 10
this country. For several years some
oi the greatest scientists IN Europe
physicians, pathologsts, neurologists,
astronomers, psychologists. chemists.
mathematioians have been studying
her phenomena. and. almost without ex-
ception, these cOldsblooded Investigators
have publicly announced that they have
been convinced that the wonders they
have witnessed az her seances are neith-
er the result Of trickery nor Of hallu-
cination,
The fact that they have admitted
their confidence 10 the Palladino pheno-
mena, however does not necessarily
Imply that they have been converted to
everything else that IS pop1larlv sup
posed to 90 with such belief. They
accept the facts that they have succeed.

have proved, not only hy The sense or

ments as well land yet. DESPITE this
admission. most Of them are still Just
as materiaHstic as they always have
been TO their minds. the phenomena
are sufficiently important u stand hy
themselves and they have eliminated
the spiritist hypothesis in trying to ex-
plain them. Instead many Of them are
now convinced that the faculty that
Eusapia displays SO astonishingy, Is
one that. though latent. IS existent n
every human being, and, as the result,
the feats that were once confined to
the spiritualistic seance-room are now
being performed in the physical labora-
