1 fv 'V -r I A THE TIME, Work of Vaychlcul and It IH Likely to Aocompllnli. It is at first glance remarkable tha skeptical an age as ours should the time in which so thorough and ex tensive research is made into that misty which of old was regarded as thi supernatural, but which is now th custom to look upon as merely the un explored: and yet upon the secon thought it is apparent that it is pro eisely the skeptical" age that is rnos likely to study this phase of nature. In a more devout age it would be though that there was something half sacri Jegious in prying into the hidden mys teries of creation; while in a. more su perstitious age a more or less consciotis fear would do much to check investiga tion. It is in the calm and coolly investigating temper of the generation which is still in doubt that these things are sure to be most eagerly studied.

There is, ol course, the widest differ ence of temper in the minds of thosi in one form or another have thrown themselves into psychical re search. It was said, with perhaps mon epigrammatic neatness than accuracy that the English Society of Psychica: Research was established to prove thai all ghost stories were true, while American was established to that all were false; yet with whatever extravagance of statement there was a' least a grain of truth in the phrase The negative is never of a vitality equal to that of the positive, and in the end the American society went under and its remnants have been annexed to the English body. That there are ear aest workers in both is doubtless true, and it is no doubt true also that there Is much work of value done by the society. Certainly many of the men connected with the movement would command respect for any enterprise in which they were engaged or to which lent their support. The thing which strikes an outsider, however, is the fact that it is the almost result of the following sort of study that the student is drawn from the real to the unreal, from the tangible to the intangible, that it must be the tenable to the untenable.

The history of the vast majority of thinkers who have plunged into this sort of study has been that they have ended by being the dupe of illusions which they would have been the first to smile at when they were in a and normal condition, illusions of the falsity has been demonstrated beyond peradventure. It has not infrequently happened that investigators for the power and clearness of whose mind at for whose fairness and integrity there could not be too much admiration, have in the end become the victims of the most vul- dupes of charlatans who had not'the merit of'extraordinary cleverness them-, or the champions of, vagaries begot in their own brains.like maggots in sunbaked cheese. The value of psychical research is too obvious to need remark, and it is in no spirit cavil that this common danger of the study is touched upon. Why is- it that investigators so often lose their balance in this field it is not easy to say, but of the fact, at least, there seems to be no reasonable doubt. Whether it be irom the habit of mind induced by too much striving after the intangible, it be that the powers proper to the perception of this branch of investi- gation be not well developed in the race whether it be that contact with the or phenomena dwelt upon in these suggestions subtily changes the fiber of -the mind, it is impossible to say; it is only possible- to predict with approximate assurance that the man who goes Into this business with a very level head in nine cases out of ten coine to the Tplaee where he will be a possible if not probable victim to the easiest and most transparent frauds of circumstances or of charlatans.

will come to the place where it is inevitable that should either be tricked or trick him- feUelf- It is possible that this is one of the through which this branch of must go, and from which it will triumphantly emerge It may be merely the natural result of piereditary -tendencies, and that in a 'generation or two the impulse, brought with the hard face 'of. fact, will be worn away. In the it is not unnatural that the -human mind, being called upon to be- scientifically so much that it has held to or rejected as belong; Ing to the realm of the supernatural, "Jshonld find it difficult to distinguish be- the true and the false. This may later when the atmosphere of in- becomes cleared from the mist of old superstitions. "Meanwhile there is nothing to do but to Ipush the investigations; although the world must look upon whoever deeply into this branch of study as man who is likely to 'make a sacrifice of himself in the cause of science much in the same way asaman sacrifices himself who goes into a mine full of pois- onous vapors for the sake of bringing 1 to light such gems as may chance be mixed with the handfuls of peb- t-bles which he gathers in the desperate ite that' haply he may escape with Courier.

Mule; I distinctly remember the. first hanging I ever saw in "a Nevada mining- camp, and as I put in ten years out there, and as hangings came to be of weekly occurrence, I rather prido myself on this feat of memory. A lazy, quarrelsome miner named Rattebone struck a man with a pick one day and killed him, and after a fair trial was found guilty and condemned to hang.

On the night preceding the execution he sent for me. 1 had once given him a pipe and had also written two or three letters for him, and he reasoned that I was his friend. When entered his presence he held out his hand and said: "Say, now, you don't believe I'm afraid to hang?" "Oh, no." "Hain't no idea I'll weaken?" "None, whatever." Cause I propose to hang with a grin (in my I've got to hang. There is just one reason why I don't want to, however, and I want you to do me a favor." "Well?" "Go to the boys afiA state the case. There's nn old fellow down the creek named Champlin.

A month ago I got into a fuss with him, and he said I'd be hung inside of three months. This thing will tickle him almost to death. He'll say: 'I told you and he'll go on about the wicked being cut short in their career, and all that, and I want to disappoint him." "But you are to hang in the morning." "Yes, I know; but I don't want to, you see. Just go and talk to the boys and tell 'em about old Champ and get me off." I didn't do any thing, of course, and next morning when he was led out, he pleaded his own case, but without avail. Just before he was swung off he saw the old man in the crowd and he called him up and said: yon pie-bald, knock-kneed old cuss, you'll go around bragging that you predicted this, and you'll wear your hat on your ear and step high.

Burn your old hide, but it's on your account I hate to go! I've got to, however, but I'll get even with you. Hang me if-I don't turn into a mule and kick you to death afore the year is out!" Five months later a speculator came into our camp on a mule. The animal stood tiecL tree, and when old Champ lounged up to pick up a frying pan the brute shot out and hit him in' the temple and keeled him over stone Y. Sun. MINIATURE PAINTING.

Specimens Found on the Papyrus Rolls of Ancient Egypt. The fashion of painting single portraits "in little," or miniature, undoubtedly took its origin in the grand art of the art which was practiced by all nations, both eastern and western, from the imbrication of capitals and headings, and occasionally true miniatures found on the papyrus rolls of ancient Egypt, as far back as the eighteenth dynasty, down to the magnificent missal in the Eouen library, completed in the year A. D. 1683. Every collection affords abundant evidence of the ntroduction of individual portraits among the gorgeous surrounding- of the general illuminated work.

The Flem- illuminator, especially, carried the drawing- and coloring 1 of the heads to a degree of perfection which came very- near that attained by the greatest mas- who subsequently practiced the art of miniature painting, as the term is understood in these latter days. The first Englishman who devoted himself entirely to it, with distinguished success, was Nicholas Hillard, 1547-1619. He be- jan when 13 years old. The most in- his work are the wrtraits of Elizabeth and the Due d'Al- encon on the respective covers of a intended as a present from Queen to the Blade. TIME'S CHANGES.

He was given a warm welcome, rat he noticed there was a change in lis parents' appearance; they had not he old familiar look. He questioned hem; explanations followed. The young man discovered that, though the good )eople were still his parents, the change their personal appearance was easily accounted for. Shortly after his sudden mysterious departure from home, iis father clied and his mother married Then his mother died and his new father married again. Thus on his return the wanderingboy ound the dear old home as he had left the only'difference being that he had new father ancl a new mother.

"Life in Queen Victoria's household is very pleasant," said a well known Duchess, "and useful to those who are in or near the court. They meet the very highest class of people of all nations, and it is a dull person indeed, who does not learn to be interesting and diplomatic before she has been there any length of time.

The Queen herself is delightfully plaasant to everyone about her, and exceedingly-mindful of their comfort. She is very fond of society, and gives many dinners and receptions, where the ladies about her have a chance to display themselves at their best. Indeed, she encourages them in all their efforts to make the social life of the Crown as perfect as possible. She stands the exactions of her life wonderfully. In all sorts of weather she rides out once a day, and when it is pleasant twice, besides attending- public occasions almost every week.

Indeed, many young women would hesitate to stand the work which the Queen takes upon herself at the ripe age of 72. Both in temper and action she is a remarkable woman at her age, and there is not one about her who does not have for her the highest respect." To keep up the royal household pertaining to the Queen herself costs per annum. Out of this vast Vum she receives for herself for pocktt money 8800,000. The rest goes to tradesmen and to the men who bask in the sunshine, of her favor. The women whom she calls about her as associates cost only about $30,000 a year, while the salaries paid to the male ornaments about the throne run into the hundreds of thousands, and they are many of them comparatively useless while the women earn their salaries.

Read What Hon. Wm. E. Gladstone SAYS: MY EXAMINATION OF THE AMERICANIZED Encyclopaedia Britanlca Has been entirely satisfactory. The following are some of the points noted in my examination: In Biography I find the "AMERICAN ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANMCA" treats of the life of every man that has helped to mould the history of his or that has controlled the events and destinies of his people or of the world that life be in ancient, medieval, modern or present time.

Four thousand separate biographies are included, under this feature embraced in NO OTHER CYCLOPAEDIA NOW IN PRINT. In History I find the history of every nation that has fluurished, fully outlined the physical geography, the geology, climate, natural or plants, as well as the governmental, religious, social and commercial status of. each perion of its of Babylon, India. Europe or America; whether in an era of the world 4.000- years past, or in the year Lord, 1891. In the Arts and Sciences I find that its leading and greatest articles have been penned, only by the hands of our greatest masters in Europe and America.

No LITTLE men have figured in the great chapters on but this greatest in experiment and analysis. Their close analyses, their brilliant experiments and their triumphant demonstrations alone the grand conclusions of science in general, as published in these volumes. In Literature I find the literature of the highest thought wherever the name is mentioned, The history of no country is mentioned unconnected from its. it had a literature. English, American.

French, German- given as fully as any other characteristic feature in the history of people. In Religion I nnd this Encyclopaedia a treasure-house filled with the finest and the ablest contributions of some of the greatest of our scholars. The Bible of every great composition and the history of its whether in India or Europe, in Palestine or had the concentrated light of scores of the best living upon it, in. the. articles on the Bible in this Encyclopaedia.

On Every Subject I have found the deepest research, the profoundest investig-atioiilinked 1 the most lucid statement, as if truth alone were the objective and only point aimed at by the writers of this great and latest publication of encyclopsdiac knowledge.
