Fraudulent Mediums

AAeACWeAhu SdIrlN6tON, III LeSll0 S.
 The investigator of psychic phenomena, occult. stands two chances of being de- ceived by what he sees and obtains. First, fraudulent mediums are liable to impose upon him; second, he is apt to be self-deceived by honest psychics, who are themselves self-deceived as to the source of the communications or mes- sages which they receive.
 Fake mediums are not now so preva- lent as they were some years ago. owing to the crushing investigations of the po- lice. Stocks used to be sold in mines which had no existence; money was gouged out of poor widows and all osrts of excuses and for all kinds of purposes; vicious schemes of all kinds were put into practice: blackmail was often em- ployed. Fraudulent naturalization ana slate writing seances. fake trumpet sit- tings, various trance and test sittings used as bait to secure possible recruits for profitable private sittings-were meas ures employed (and are still employed on small scale) by thousands of tricky characters. posing as clairvoyants, for tune tellers palmists, astrologers and mediums.
 Parasites such as these have been the bane and the curse of spiritualism and all true phyehic investigation. I could enumerate scores of devices which mediums of this character re- sort to in order to defraud their sitters, but it is hardly necessary. The methods employed are SO varied and so clever, the devices themselves so ingenious thu mental resources of the snowman so un- limited, that it is quite impossible for anyone to hope to cope successfully with their methods.

Distributions of Wealth
From Leslie's.

Accustomed as we are in this country to generous benefactions from the rich, |the will of the late Henry c. Prick is ex- traordinary for the breadth of it's con- ception and the magnificence of it's be- quests. Five-sixths of an estate of about s15O, 100000 is given to the public. His art gifts, his endowment of colleges and hospitals. will be an inspiration and help to all succeeding generations. MT. FricK was one of the pioneers in the develop ing of American industry on a colossal scale. He had creative genius of the first order, and his reward was great. In the distribution of a vast estate he also showed social vision and sense of stewardship. Men of lesser ability who accumulate only moderate fortunes often provide for their families alone in their wills. It is the exception when a large estate makes no provision for the com- mon good. Some there are who rail against the possessor of fortune, wheth- CT it be large or small, but it is a ques- tion whether the Prick millions could possibly have done so much good to 50 many people in any other form
 Reading of the latest Rockefeller gift of $1O0 1000, our English cousins heave sigh because no such benefactors exists among their wealthy class. Divided

What Is the King of Sports?

Ivory versus cardboard, Little Joe lined up against Jack Pot. The pres tige of the full-house is threatened! One of Americas 8 greatest institutions-poker lis menaced by the upstart crap. The Dice family has been demobilized after service on many active sectors. They are back in civilian life carrying on an active campaign against the Heart-Dia- mond- -Club-Spade clan. The fued is on.
 In telling of this gaming civil war, The Home Sector. the ex-sodiers weekly con- ducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes, says: "They say meaning the police and various agen- cies invested with the supervision of public morals-that there never was such a crap-shooting craze anywhere in the world as is raging right now in these United States. Yes the army is to blame. People who used to think. back in 1917, that Little Joe was a character in Dick ems or Bret Harte and that the use of dice should be restricted to backgammon and parcheesi. now move out into society, whether of low or high order, with com- plete set of the pocked worries.
 Dice have made history. Witness Lon- don's famous Battle of Bow Street, which started in friendly game between Yam kees behind the Eagle Hut in the Strand and developed into an International riot Witness the more recent difficulty in- VolVlnS the cfVlllan crew or the trdnS- port America, who had obviously been picking up some bad habits from the gobs.

The galley crew. when called to account for playing craps, re- piled in the same terms to the officer commanding troops
 "The old gang at the corner still keeps one eye on the dice and the pot and the other on the next block. The copper is still the cleanup kid. The gang runs as fast and as far as ever when the nickel plated badge gleams over the horizon; the same old assortment of two-bit pieces and smooth dimes falls into the clutches of the representative of law and order The world is still a reasonably orderly place in spite of itself"

MANY WAR BRIDES
 HAD TO RETURN
By AssoeIated Press

Pittsburg, May 1.-Incompatibility of American and French customs has caused 12,000 of approximately 5o,oo0 French war brides to return to France, according to Mrs. Reginald H. Johnson, president of the recently organized LEspoir Franco American club here. The club, formed at the suggestion of Mile. Odette de Bouglon of Paris, who was in Pittsburg recently, is expected to broaden the interests of French girls who became the brides of Americans overseas. ana to make them contented in their new homes.
 Mrs. Johnson, herself a war bride. and wife of a professor of languages at the University of Plttsburg, de- clared that members of the club are learning English, of course, but slowly, and when one cannot talk, enc thinks too much"
 We of France are individualists," she said "We live within ourselves and our own people, and that makes. 1t doubly hard for the French girls who have left their homes and families. Not that they doinot love their husbands, to be sure, but they miss their peo- Dle"

George Eliot

Wilbur Cross, in the Yale Review.
 Most of George Eliot's novels are stu dies in retribution, akin to Greek trag- ,edy and in general to Greek modes of thought, whereby, as expressed poeti- cally. when wrong. is done. the Flu menides. daughters of earth and dark iess, awake and revenge it. It was likewise the Hebrew formula, that they who so wthe wind shall reap the whirl- wind. This law, observed alike by pa- gan and Jew, George Eliot modeMized and elaborated in detail in the light of the science of her day. Her method was to lay before the reader the antece- dents of character like pr. Lydgate, to confront him suddenly with the ne- cessity of an immediate act having . distinctive moral quality. and then to trace in all it's windings and turnings the influence of that act not only upon him who committed 1t but upon others who are caught in the meshes. I've can conceive" she remarks. paraphras- ing Aeschylus. no retrihution that does not spread beyond it's mark in pulsa- iions of unmerited pain" Nothing is ever left by George Eliot at loose ends; when she finishes, the fabric is whole and complete.

which makes their use unpopular with most people.
 In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin the finest Egyptian senna is com bined with pepsin and other valu- able agents, essential oils and pure cane sugar syrup to make an ek- ceptionally valuable tonic-laxative for the relief of constipation and resulting disturbances of the stomach and bowels. The com- plete formula is plainly printed in English, French, and Spanish on every package. Thousands who formerly bought an inferior grade of senna leaves now use Dr. Gala wells Syrup Pepsin instead. It is sold in drug stores everywhere.

 That is all that has to be done. For seven hours the furnace roars away steadily, and the room takes on de- lightfuI warmth.

SEPTEMBER"

SEPTEMBER"
 By Frank Swinnerton. George H. Do-
 ran Company, publishers, New York
 City.
 September is unlike any other novel that Mir. Swinnerton has writ ten, but 1t has all of the dramatic intensity of nocturne. It is a tale of passionate conflict In love between two strongly contrasted tempera- nents, Marian Forster, the mature woman, still beautifully young, and Cherry Mant, undeveloped, strangely sophisticated fascinating. Nothing that MT Swinnerton has done so fine- into the heart as the struggle and yet the friendship and affection be- tween these two women. The action takes place at the Forster's country place and reaches a climax in Lon don Over and above the story, won- derfully sustained, broods the mood Of September, the autumnal quality in Marian's life.
 Mir Swinnerton's portrayal of Cher " Mant gives an unrelenting picture of the modern girls hardness, her shallow certainties and ignorant pride, contrasting these character istics with the clear and noble pur- pose of Marian, which is finely and logically outlined. In like manner he contrasts the two men. Howard, pur- suing his life of business, of sport and of casual filtration Is selfish and greedy in love, and Nigel, in his trust fitness, his odd reserve and his occa- siona1 inlpulsive outbursts, is a char

"UP. THE REBELs."

By O. A. Birmingham. George H. Doran
 Company, Publishers, New York City
 With a touch of bravado George A. Birmingham dedcates Up, The Rebels, D ITO any friends I have left in Ireland after the publication of this book"
 It Is an excursion into Irish politics, not without levity, for the author recog- nizes that the spirit of rebellion in Ire- land is not unmixed with a vein of buff foonery, but you never can tell when it will turn to grim earnest. He freely ac- knowledges that among the ranks of Sim Feiners there are those who are passion ately sincere as well as those who are playboys
 Sir Ulick, the right-hand man of the Chief Secretary was a mine of accurate Information, and tHld the opinion that any man who takes Ireland seriously will end with a broken heart, either that or in an asylum with a cracked head. Consequently he allows his daughter, Mona, who is devoted 10 Gaelic costumes and conversation with Sim Feiners, to set up the Irish Republic with the sup port of her colleagues in a little town called Dunally.
 Having allowed youth to have it's fling, Sir Ulick returns to his job of helping to govern Ireland. where" says he, every one is poet except me, and I fully ex- pect l shall be one before I die"

London, April 5.-CReciprocal News Service.)-"A wee war stunt" is what an officer, lieutenant colonel, by the way, calls his contrivance for heating by saw dust.
 It all began in dugout outside Mona, where the French foresters taught the shivering Tommies that by laying a smooth bole of a tree on the ground, fixing another bole upright at it's end and ,then packing sawdust tightly round 1t and inclosing the whole in tight cas- ing of stones or an old iron pail. then removing the wood and lighting the saw dust, you could make a roaring furnace fire. The lieutenant colonel merely brought home the idea, and an old iron pail just for luck, I suppose, and DOW he has a patent on the cheapest and"the hottest little thing going.
 He still has the two boles, now pol ished clubs, and of course the pail IS supplanted by nicely polished sheet iron. He provides a length of pipe and an elbow, just such as we used to have in

THE PECULIAR MAJOR"

 City.
 The major in question has a "pe- culiarity.' He picked it up in Pales- tine. Ills friends do not realize that he really cannot help vanishing oc- casionally and are uncertain whether to call for the police or send for a doctor.
 For the period of the story, at least, the majors life is peculiarly di- yerting and extraordinary-bu there are two ladies in love with him who are not to be put off with magic; Tor his invisibility does not extend to the eyes of love, and thereby hangs the tale.
