Modesty Matter of Custom.

From Capper's Magazine.
1t has been the custom at Moscow
for generations for the young people
to battle together in the rivers, in
state of nature, and they may be seen
disporting themselves any Sunday
afternoon in hot weather, writes Paul
Edenshard in the Nation. In the FO-
rum, Hugh Kennedy tells how 10
years ago an American woman who
wore transparent sleeves in her dress
drew a crowd on g. London street, from
which he rescued her with the aid of
o. policeman and a taXIcab. Gauzy
sleeves were the fashion in New
York, but London hasn't seen them.
Last year, 10 years later, Mr.. Kennedy
found himself In the same London
street. Everywhere one looked were
girls, not In gown with transparent
sleeves, but in gowns with no sleeves
at all; In gowns that didn't come an
inch below the knee; in gowns devoid
of necks and only very transparently
supplied with backs. Yet 10 years be-
fore, one lone girl, clad in fashion

Unlucky for japanese Girls.

From Gapper's Magazine,
japanese girls who are 20 years old
this year are SO bad-tempered as to
unfit them for wives. This is an an
eient superstition. The unlucky year
occurs every 81 years and although
faith in this hoodoo Is waning there
still are parents who will not allow
their SONS TO marry girls under this
cloud. This year a great number OF
the unlucky girls have taken up pro-
fessonal work in the belief they are
doomed to remain single. Marriage
is considered so important in Japan
that thousands of Japanese girls, fear
ing life of loneliness commit suicide
1t should take less courage to commit
nlatrimony and let the hoodoo do its
worst.

CHESTNUT rs PASSING.
Famous Appalachian Tree Is Re-
ported Near determination.

The problem of using up in the next
few years the chestnut trees growing
on the 80 million acres of South AID,
palachian woods is confronting the
United States Forest Service and the
forestry departments of the various
States today. DIR. G, r. Gravat and
r. f. Marshall, forest Psychologists of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, estimate that 80 per cent
of all the chestnut trees in more than
half of the South Appalachian region
will be blighted by 1880. BY 1895 1t Is
believed that nine-tenths of the forest
area will have passed that stage.
Because the lumber shortage is al.
ready being felt in the United States,
owners OF chestnut trees are urged by
the Department to utilize their timber
before the rotting that follows the
blight has caused heavy losses. Tests

BY LLOYD PATTERSON
The so called, true spiritualist, Is
indeed honest In his belief. that
the phenomena, that he experiences,
is truly his contact with departed
souls, but the truth is, that he is
en- rapport with a living mind, and
what he really does Is to set in
operation his power of mental tele.
pathy and he recites his impress
sions from the mind OF his willing
subject and that Impressions Is flaw
ored with the imagination and COW
cred to harmonic with. his par
ticuiar belief.
Our mind, being perfect store
house of memory, which records all
that we&see,. think and conclude
from life, and by the proper sug-
gestion the mind is anenable to
control by the telepathist or spirit
ualist. The Spiritualist can only
tell you what the sub-conscious
mind already knows.
This does not necessarily mean
that the conscious mind Is always
awake to the operation OF the lat.
ter. The mind has two distinct
entities, the conscious and the sub
conscious or the physical and the.
spiritual. The physical sense Is
limited by its physical surroundings,
its methods OF expression is by
thought, action, speech and tele-
pathy and the expression Of the
spiritual sense is by intuition. di-
vine.inspiration Induction and tele-
patty. When the medium reveals
true and intimate facts concerning
his subject, the phenomena Is In
deed very interesting, but not ac-
ceptable as information from spirits.
During the fatal illness Of my fav-
orite sister, she recited from MEM
Dry. all Of the Latin that she had
read and studied. This happened
when she approached the state of
death, the result was that the sub
conscious entered the domain OF the
conscious and this part of the rec
ord unfolded. The common ex-
PLANTATION is that she was out OF
her head. Space does not permit
further discussion of the different
angles of this subject nor illustra-
ton of my many experiences, but
for your reference this subject is
fully explained by Or. Jay TUCSON,
in his treatise on Psychic Phe.
nomena."
Any person who is gifted in the
power of telepathy could very easily
mislead, Though his control of in
formation 0y claiming that 1t came
from the dead. A simple test to
prove that no medium can operate
independent OF communication with
your mind. Take a single bill that
you honestly have not noted, and
ask the medium to tell you the
serial number, and the result will
prove that his power is reduced to
pure guessing.
