Canary Birds. ...
A Chicago bird dealer, one of tli
most extensive iu tbe oountry, aaya of
canaries: "Tli idea it prevalent that
canary bird either come from the Ca
nary islands or ara born in captivity.
Of course some are received from the
Canary islands, and a great many of
them are rained from tame birds that
have never been at liberty, or cage
birds, til they are called. Still, many of
tbe very best canaries are captured wild
in the United States.- Southern Cali
fornia ia full of wild canaries, and
there are no better singers in the world.
In some aeotions the air seenia to be

ful that the boys kill them in great
numbers with aling shots, and they are
' little mora thought of than sparrows. I
prefer the American canaries to the im

any danger that the supply will ever

GATHERED BY THE SOCIETY

FOR
The Phantom of a Gloved Head Explana
tion of the Coffin on the Lake Shofre,
Sevwiwl Strange Prophecies aad Ware
Inga lavestiaates the Yarn.
A diiigeut huut hits been uinda for
years after stories of telepathy, mind
reading, Second sight, clairvoyance),
crystal vision, mid so on, by the Society
For Psychical Research, and great pains
have been taken to obtain corroboration
if possible.
One of tbe most experienced and in
defatigable investigators in that organ
isation, Frederic W. H. Myers, em
bodies scores of those narratives in a
paper printed in the report of the pro
ceedings of the Society For Psychical
Research. A few a.e selected for re pro
duotion here to illustrate some of the
supposed workings of the mysterious
faoolty in question.
IX J. Parsons, a physician in Sweet
Springs, Ala, says be discovered years
ago that be was able to sue things.
mentally, which had happened hundreds
of miles away nud many years before.
Be wrote in 1801: "While iu company
with Dr. Trotter of Islington, Ala, 1
could see before and near to him a deli
cate hand on which was a dark red kic
glove. The hand was all the time iu
motion. I called his attention to it, and
he was much surprised. I told bim tin
baud hud history, and if he had tit
objections I would be pleased to know
it Be said: 'I was traveling iu Cuuadi;
on the cars, and one day we run up to u
train that bad been wrecked a little
while before. I went to the wreck, and
about the first thing that I saw was a
young lady lying npon the ground dead.
One hand was naked, and one was cov
ered with a dark red kid glove. ' bl
atantly npon his ottering the wurds the
dark red kid glove and tbe hand van
ished." .
Subsequently the Dr. Trotter here
mentioned sent a fall account of the ac
cident and the conversation with Dr.
Parsons to an officer of the Psychical
Research society in reply to inquiries.
Be corroborated tbe foregoing story
fully, adding that the gloved hand made
strong impression on him, "which has
remained to this day, about 40 years. "
Be was astounded at Dr. Parsons' re
mark to him nearly 80 years after tbe
event, and even yet cannot understand
bow that person should have broached
the subject, inasmuch as Dr. Trotter had
never to his knowledge mentioned the
sight of the dead girl to a living souL
A large group of incidents fonnd in
this collection occurred almost exactly
at the same time when the ' percipient '
received a corresponding impression.
Shipwrecks, more trifling accidents, the
recovery of a lost dog and tbe position
in which a watch that had been dropped
in a bayfield a few hours before still
lay were paralleled by vision, either in
sleep or a half waking condition. Thus,
on tbe morning of Oct ?, 1885, the wife
of a Chicago man asked him, while they
were both dressing and before either of
them had left their sleeping room, if be
had ever known a person named Esdala
Be replied in the negative. Then she
narrated a dream in which she saw a
coffin on the lake shore so marked. Later
in the day the man discovered in tbe
morning paper of that date an account
of the disappearance of William EL Ks-
daile, bnt with no theory as to his fate.
After elaborate inqniry it seems to be
established that this was the first public
mention of tbe fact that be was missing.
For several days the Chicago papers re
ferred to the topic, bnt suggested that
be was alive, bnt insane, and would be
fonnd. The notion of snicide was scout
ed. On Oct 10 Esdaile's dead body was
found. He bad been drowned.
Visions, dreams or impressions wbicl.
seemed to be prophetio figure frequent h
in Mr. Myers' catalogue. Occasionally
there wonld be only a vague impnl, a
sensation. A railway engineer stcpj.ei
bis train, be could not say why, an.
sent a flagman ahead. Be thus stoppci
an express train coming toward him an.
on the same track, bnt. out of sigh
around a curve. Baving landed in i
strange city, a man was picking bis waj
along in the dark, when he was im
pelled to change bis route abruptly. Be
fonnd next day that a few more steps
wonld have thrown him off a dock. A
father's anxiety about a son in another
part of the country increased to such a
point that the family had just decided
to summon the boy borne when the
news of bis death was received.
Again, of tbe prefigured events some
were only a few seconds away; others
perhaps months distant. A naturalist
wonld discover, without search or suspi
cion, exceedingly rare ferns or moths
almost instantly after an image of the
specimen was found in his mind or a
bint wus whispered in his ear by some
unseen agency. . Accidents, and even
deaths, were predicted weeks in ad
vance, aud sometimes on a specified
date, and the forecast was fulfilled. A
man dreamed of seeing the headstone of
his own grave inscribed "Jun. 9. ' As
the word "June" is seldom abbreviated,
be believed that this was meant for
"Jan. 9." Soon afterward one of bis
children died on June 9, and he consid
ered this occurrence a fulfillment of the
supposed prophecy. Bowever, he died
himself several years afterward on
Jan. 9. . ..
The experts who have undertaken tbe
study of tbe phenomena here described
are eagerly looking for more stories of
this sort Dr. Richard Hodgson, S Boyl
ston place, Boston, is the American sec
retary and treasurer of the Society For'
Psychical Research, and when he gets
bold of a new yarn he proceeds to in
vestigate tbe matter carefully before re
porting the facts to headquarters in
London. New York Tribune.

Methodists Joaraey by Rail ia Bear Sra
dlente Wllaoaj.
Perhaps the first Sunday excursion
ver ran by a Methodist church was tbat
whiob recently ran over the railroad
from Albany, with a thousand passen
gers, to hear the Rev. "Syndicate" Wil
son preach tbe gospel and to help drive
atan out of Glouster, O. "
Two months ago this evangelist, un
known, a Methodist circuit rider from
a backwoods charge, came down the
Hooking valley from Coolville and
preached in the schoolhonses by tbe
way. At the crossing of tbe country
roads he put up big plain lettered plao-
irds tbat read:
In IS TIME TO BEMEMBKR YOUR BINS.!
"Syndicate" Wilson'a congregation
exceeded tbe capacity of tbe room at his
command. Snnday bad been set aside as
"old soldiers' day."
Before sunrise the people were com
ing over the hills to the great gather
ing. The Methodists at Albany chartered
a train, but members of all the other
denominations went on it So did the
band. The pastor of the Methodist
church here, tbe Rev. J. Atkinson, a
fine speaker, rode horseback with "Syn
dicate" Wilson and met the Albany ex
cursion.
Two thousand of Glouster's popula
tion, a thousand from Albany and a
hundred from the villages of Sunday
Creek valley, filled the streets. There
were "halleluiahsl" aud Shouts of hap
piness, and after the churches were
filled tbe evangelists talked to a vast
crowd in the public square.
At noon the band led tbe procession,
and all the ministers in town walked
just behind it. Next were 150 old sol
diers of the cross some lame and all
bent Still farther back were tbe ribbon
wearing clubs and in tbe rear many
hundreds in solid ranks. Choirs sang
always happy songs, and the bund, ev
ery member of which has joined the
church, played only sacred music.
Syndicate" Wilson says be is a rep
resentative of a kingdom that wants
emigrants from earth aud offers iudnce
ments that cannot be duplicated an ev
erlasting life, freedom from all pain and
sorrow, eternal joy, a home in para
dise. ' "Form a syndicate to secure an
everlasting home in God's heaven 1" it
his chief plea.
Probably such scenes were never wit
nessed before. This unique religious
parade will, it is believed, destroy the
evils of Sunday Creek valley aud give
untold hundreds a home in heaven.

A BATTLE ABBEY.
Bontheraen to Erect a alaaeau at the
National Capital.
At a meeting of Confederate veterans
in Washington the other evening steps
were taken toward securing the location
of tbe Confederate Battle abbey at tbe
national capital.
Tbe proposed battle abbey will be on
a colossal scale and will in all probabil
ity involve an expenditure of t'50,000
or more. It is tbe wish of the Confed
erate Veterans' association to secure its
location in Washington, not only as a
southern memorial building, but as one
ot national importance and an especially
attractive and ornamental feature of the
city. The work of promoting the en
deavor will be ably assisted by the La
dies' Southern Relief society.
Steps are being taken to organize a
committee of SO, embracing members of
the two associations and a number of
prominent men and women outside of
tbe associations. A committee, composed
of one member from each state and one
from tbe District of Colombia, was ap
pointed at the last grand encampment
of the United Veterans to decide upon
the location of the memorial building,
and this committee will do so at the
coming annual encampment, to be held
in Richmond in June next. '
Tbe committee of promotion in Wash
ington, to be formed through the move
ment inaugurated at the recent meeting,
will solicit subscriptions, to be devoted
toward the erection of the building if
located in Washington. The general
fund, collected through tbe southern
camps, amounts already, it is said, to
over $200,000. St. Louis Globe-Demo

I learn from these that Baron Roent

discovered wonders of nature. Be is ad

to the uuscieutifio multitudes in tbe fa

After a brief practice in Strasborg,
he was appointed professor of chemistry

Important Qneatlons n Be Battled at the
Cleveland Conference.
The great national conference of tha
Methodist Episcopal churches, to be
held in Cleveland, is nearly two months
distant, but preparations for the recep
tion of delegates and arrangements for
the most intensely interesting meeting
ever held by the denomination are unit
ing completion. If the proposed meas
ures are passed, the oonfureuoe will be
come historical, in tba church, at tha
most decidedly revolutionary one aver
held. '
The attack on the bishops If the most
notable measure proposed. These digui
tarioa art now elected for life aud re
ceive an annual salary of (18,000. It is
now proposed that the bishops be alert
ed only for a term of years and returned
to the ministry when thoy have served
their time iu the bishopric. It is said
tbat many delegates are in favor of the
change, tud it is well kuowu that there
is strong sympathy for the idea in Cleve
land. The question ot adinittiug women
delegates has long been peudiug, but it
has now been submitted to voto in the
form of the Baltimore-Colorado ammul-
monk The vote is nearly completed,
and tba result iu tbe westeru aud south
ern states gives a majority of over 400
ministers in favor of the women. Ihe
colored coufereucea iu the south went
solid for women delegates. Iu the east
ern stutos tha seutlmeut is against the
amondment, aud this majority will be i
cut dowu, although probably not over- :
come. ; . ..... ...
Auother proposition is for the ap
pointment of a negro bishop fur tiie
SCO, 000 colored members, who are at
present without a representative on tha
Episcopal board.
The laymen will demand that they be
given equal representation with the min
isters, aud the ministers want the time
limit of pastorates extended or abolish
ed. Some of the delegates favor the
formntiou of dioceses aud the adoption
of a pluu giving bishops permanent resi

and, us usual, before she was allowed
to be sworn, she was examined by the
presiding judge, Mr. Judge Maulo, as to
bar understanding the nature of an oath
and her belief in a future state.
