PHOTOGRAPHING THOUGHT.
Or. Raradae Announce* III* Surc«*a aa<)
Sliowa ehe l'lntoa.
It may be rash to pronounce that
anything Is beyond the photographer's
art. But the communication just made
to the Paris Academie de Medicine by
Dr. Baraduc is so astonishing that if
he had made it before Dr. Roentgen
had rendered his discovery public, very
few people would have been inclined
even to Inquire Into the matter. In-
deed, Dr. Baraduc affirms ho has suc-
ceeded in photographing thought, and
he has shown numerous photographs
In proof of his assertion.
His usual method of proceeding is
simple enough. The person w hose
thought Is to be photographed enters
a dark room, places his hand on a
photographic plate, and thinks Intent-
ly of the object the Imago of which
he wiRhes to see produced. It is stated
by those who have examined Dr. Bara-
duc's photographs that the mo3t of
them are very cloudy, but that a few
are comparatively distinct, represent-
ing the features of persons and outlines
of things. Dr. Baraduc goes
further, and declares that It
Is possible to produce a pho-
tographic Image at a great distance.
In his communication to the Acad-
emic de Medicine he relates that Dr.
Istrate, when he wns going to Cam-
pana, declarod he would appear on a
photographic plate of his friend, M.
Hasden, at Bucharest. On the Uh of
August, 1893, M. Hasden at Bucharest
went to bed with a photographic plate
at his feet and another at his head.
Dr. Istrate went to sleep at Campana.
at a distance of about 300 kilometres
from Bucharest, but before closing his
eyes he willed with all his might that
his imago should appear on tho photo-
graphic plate of his friend.
According to Dr. Baraduc that marvel
was accomplished. Journalists whe
have examined the photograph In ques-
tion state that it consists In * kind of
luminous spot on the photographic
plate, in tho midst of which can be
traced the profile of a man.—London

From th'- Sentinel, Cherokee, Kan.
Rev. J. U. Wiles, minister of the
M. K. Church, who has I a rosbleni
of Cherokee, Kansas, for the past four-
teen years, said recently to a reporter:
"About four years imo I was a great
sufferer from rheumaiHm, and my con-
dition became such that I could scarce-
ly walk. I lost flesh and suffered tin-
told misery for many months. Dur-
ing that time I tried several remedies
for rheumatism, but I got no relief from
any of them.
"One day toy nephew advised me to
try Dr. Williams' Pink Tills, as ho
stated tliey hud cured his wife of eclat-
Ica. I did so, and had taken only a few
of the pills when I l> gan to improve,
and when I took the last pill In the box
I was cured, and there has been no re-
turn of the disease since."

er on July lfith, I89ts, said: "One year
ago last March. 1 bad a severe attack
of la grippe which left me with sciatica.
I suffered Intensely and my 11ml.8 be-
came so drawn that 1 could not walk.
The family physician could give me
only temporary relief l y Injections of

Pink I Mils, as they hud cured her of
rheumatism, and I commenced their
use. 1 began to Improve Immediately,
and by the time 1 had taken two boxes
of Pink Pills I was cured. I have felt
no pain since."
Ex-Postmaster Joseph Lucas, now
one of the leading merchants of Cher-
okee. Kansas, has suffered for years
with rheumctlsm. His left arm was
so badly affected that at times he
could not use it. He tried a number
of remedies without receiving any bene-
tit until he commenced using Pink
Pills for Pale People. These pills have
effected a complete cure. Mr. Lucas
carries a box of Pink Pills In his pocket

did medicine for all forms of nervous-
ness.

"I think about the most curious man
I ever met." said the retired burglar, "I
met in a house In eastern Connecticut,
and I shouldn't know him. either, if I
should meet him again, unless I should
hear him speak. It was so dark where
I met him that I never saw him at all.
I had looked around the house down-
stairs, and actually hadn't seen a
thing worth carrying off, and it wasn't
a bad-looking house on the outside,
either. I got upstairs and groped about
a little, and finally turned into a room
that was darker than Egypt. I hadn't
gone more than three steps in this
room when I heard a man say: "Hello,
there!"
" 'Hello,' says I.
" 'Who are you?' said the man, 'bur-
glar?'
"And I said yes, I did do something
In that line occasionally.
" 'Miserable business to bo In, aln'i
It?' said the man. His voice came from
a bed over in the corner of the room
and I knew he hadn't even sat up.
"And I said: 'Well, I dunno; I've got
to support my family some way.'
" 'Well, you just wasted a night hero,'
said the man. 'Didn't you see anything
down stairs worth stealing?'
"And I said no, I hadn't.
" 'Well, there's less upstairs,' says the
man and then I heard him turn over
and settle down to go to sleep again.
I'd like to have gone over there and
kicked him. But I didn't. It was get-
ting late and I thought, all things con-
sidered, that I might Just as well let
him have his sleep out."

Steamships are being constructed ol

of some 400 vessels In course of con-
struction in Great Britain and Ireland
at the end of the first quarter this year
more than a seventh of the number

5.000 tons. On the Clyde alone during
the month of April the total output of
shipping was some 39,550 tons, and
seven of the ves. els which made up
this total aggregated in themselves no
less than 35,130 tons. The average
size of the vessels built at Belfast was
a remarkable feature of the output for
last year, and the same thing holds
true of the work now on hand. At Bel-

From the New York Herald comes
the following incident of gen-ine grati-
tude:
A physician who recently moved up
town took an evening paper from a
small newsboy, and dived into his
pocket for the change.
"That's all right, doctor," remarked
the little fellow. "I won't take no
money. Don't you remember Jimmie,
that you cured last winter with the
fever?"
Then the physician recognized in the
tall and sturdy boy n little lad whom he
had pulled through a fever without
payment. "But that's all right, Jim-
mie," he said, "and you must certainly
let me pay you for the paper."
"No," said the boy, "1 won't. Where
are you living up here, doctor? I want
to come and see you."
He has not turned up yet to see the

After the Boya.
During an Endeavor convention, say*
Our Young People, one of the delegates
a young business man, alert and eager,
and telling of bottled energy within,
came suddenly upon a red-faced citizen
who evidently had been patronizing the
hotel bar. "Buttonholing" the delegate
unceremoniously, he said:
"What are you fellows trying to do,
anyway? You are hot on temperance I
see by the papers. Do you think you
could make a temperance man of me?"
"No," replied the delegate, looking
him over from head to foot with a keen
glance, slightly contemptuous, "we evi-
dently couldn't do much with you, but
we are after your boy."
At this unexpected retort, the man
dropped his peculiar tone and said
seriously: "Well. 1 guess you have got
the right of it there. If somebody had
been after me when I was a boy, I
should be a better man to-dav '

How 1'olt Taught the Kittena.
I don't believe anyone has a wiser
>r more cunning bird than Mary Mul-
ler's gray parrot. He was brought to
her last spring from Germany by her
grandfather, and had never heard a
word of English until he reached our
city and was introduced to his new
mistress. Mary's grandfather had been
very fond of him and had taught him
many words and phrases and cunning
tricks. He liked Mary from the first
and would perch himself upon the back
of her chair or by her side ami jabber
away In German by the hour, but if
Mary spoke to him in English he would
turn his back to her and walk away,
saying, "Ach, ach, Narr! Sprach der
Affe." When a stranger happened in
he would politely say: "Guten mor-
gen," or "Wle geht es Ihnen?" and If
answered In English he flew around in
a terrible rage, ran round and round tho
floor, chattering and heating his beak
against the floor. All attempts to break
him of this disagreeable habit failed
until one day when Mary was sick.
Her father was sitting with her and
Pclly at the foot of the sofa, chattering
away as usual. "It's time your bird
learned to talk English, Mary." said
Mr. Muller, "We must teach him to
nay good morning. Good morning,
Poll," he said, very slowly to the bird.
Polly flew into a rage as usual, but
Mi Muller took her by the head and
led her around the room and out the
door, shutting it upon her. We heard

Far to the II
fcore oi Lake
i be
banks are high and sometimes rocky,f
there stauds a cedar tree that Is having
a hard time cf It. A cedar likes to
grow on some hillside, where It can ses
a long distance, and. perhaps, peep
over the brink of a high precipice. It
also delights in forming close friend-
ships with the rocks around it. And
this Lake Michigan tre# is one of the
most daring of Its kind. It crowded to
the very brink of the bank, trusting
firmly in itn friends, the rocks, to hold
It from falling. One day not long ago
a great storm came up, and the ledge
began to slip away. Of course, the
rocks clung desperately, and the cedar
tiee, with its long, daw-like roots,
tried its best to help its friends. But
the storm was too fierce, and one of the
largest of the rocks slipped down, but
so close was the hold of the cedar tree,
that It fell only a few feet, and now
bangs su*9ft$«1ed u\idstr bj he tree's
roots. At first It was a great itraln on
tyhe friendly cedar, and Its ba k was al-
most broken, but It straightway sent
out more roots Into the bank, and It
n ay yet be able to hold up its old
friend, the rock, for many years to
ceme.—Chicago Record.
The Double Meaning.
A Methodist preacher, who protestei
against people going to sleep during
the sermon, would, if he perceived any
tendency In that direction, introduce
some queer or startling statement to
revive their flagging attention.
This happened on one occasion when
he was preaching a missionary sermon,
and lie thundered out:
"Brethren, you have no Idea of the
sufferings of our missionaries in Cen-
tral America, on account of the enor-
mous niosqtiitoea. A great many of
them would weigh a pound, and they
will get on the logs and bark as the
missionaries are passing!"
By this time all ears and eyes were
wide open, and he proceeded to finish
his sermon.
Th# next day he was called upon by
one of his hearers to account for his
extraordinary statements.
"But I didn't say one mosquito would
weigh a pounvr." he protested; "I said
a great many M them would, and, I
think, perhaps a million of them might
do so!"
"But you said they bark at the mis
slonaries!" persisted his Interlocutor.
"No, no, brother: I said they would
get on the logs and on the bark. Ycu
misunderstood me."
1'rliieen Who Work.
American boys who may be disposed
to envy sons of monarchs will at least
prefer their own school hours to those
of the German emperor's boys, says the
Youth's Companion. These children
have a life of hard work, notwithstand-
ing their royal surroundings. The pro-
gram of their day is thus given:
Studying begins at 8 in the morning,
and with a slight Intermission and also
with a change in the form of gymnas-
tics and exercise in the saddle, lasts till
1:15. After dinner and a time of re-
laxation, the boys work again till 6.
At 8 these sons of royalty are in bed.
When the story of these hard-working
children is known, romantic itleas
about the supposed delights of life in a
palace will be modified. Sovereignty
and sloth are not synonyms in Emperor
William's vocabulary.
The Mouse and the Knhbit.
A mouse endeavored to convince a
rabbit of the advantage of wearing a
long tail.
"You." said he. "are not admitted to
the best society, like myself, and I do
not doubt that this Is the sole reason.
Certainly a long tail does give one an
air."
While the friends wereargtiing, a kite
swooped down upon them, and each be-
took himself to his hiding place. Tho
rabbit was fairly hidden, but the mouse
was easily discovered and drawn from
his place of refuge, into which he had
not time to draw his boasted badge of
society. As tho kite bore off his prey,
the rabbit remarked quietly: "My
friend, the mouse, would have been bet-
ter off had he not been quite so distin-
guished."
Mtorlen About I.lttle Man.
Little Man id but three, so he doesn't
know much about the night-time, as
then he is in his little bed. He was
s'prised to have mama tell him that
when she looked up at the sky at night
she saw a big shiny dipper made out
of stars! Little Man wanted to see
that dipper, too. That very night, when
mama called him to come in, he stood
still, looking up. And when mama said
again, "Come, Little Man—time for
bed!" he answered, "I'm coming,
mama, just as soon as I see that pltty
tin can in the sky!"
Little Man was happy when papa
brought home a bowl of shiny gold
fishes, and over and over he said:
"Man loves the pltty itty flsses!" Lit-
tle Man loved the "fisses" so much
that he wanted them to have plenty to
eat. When no one saw ho pu a slice
of bread in l.Vo water. Next morning
the gold tishes couldn't swim any
more, but lay cold and still. Little
Man cried, but at last he said through
his team: "I fink they were de-gusted
and got dead 'cause deir gold was wear-
ing off!"
"It's a beauty day," chirped Little
Man, as he peeped out one morning.
"Man wants to go a long way to-day!"
"Ho mustn't go very far, or wo can't
find him." said mama.
"Man knows you can't find him to-
day, 'cause I's going off to Mrs. Wob-
lnson's backyard!"
"Dear me," said mama, "what shall
I do?"

A good story Is told of one of the
canvassers of a leading publishing
firm. He found his way into tho pri-
vate office of a bank, and saw the man-
ager, who, as soon as he learned hla
business, ordered him out.
Very quietly he said:
"I meet with so many gentlemen In
the course of the week that I can afford
to meet a snob occasionally," and he
took his departure.
