"This earth, compared with many a star
That gleams through boundless space afar,
Is but a speck among them all,
A tiny globe, an ocean small.
But on this little earth of ours
The soul exists with all its powers,
And that is greater in the sight
Of God, than all the stars of light!"

Kueapta I-alladino and Her Fbenoraena, by
Hfretvard Carrlns'ton. Illustrated. XI.
' W. Dodge & Co., Xw Yorjc Oity.
To those unacquainted with spiritistic
phenomena, it is necessary to explain
that this severely critical book of 353
PHges describes Btranjte experiences of
Mrs. Eusapia Palladino, a famous Nea
politan medium who has been the subject
of scientific experiment made by such
eminent savants a Professor I-ombroso,
Morselll, Richet. Surie. Bottazzl, Flam
marlon, da'Arsonval. Sir Oliver Lodge
and others. Those who scoff at spiritual
ism may pans by the book, but to other
thinkers It will be eagerly accepted as a
lamp unto their paths. As to whether
It is profitable or not to accept spirit
ualism as a concrete fact, the present
reviewer has nothing to do. The main
point at issue Is to give a resume of
what the book says and try to interpret
a message which Is now widely discussed,
pro and con.
Mr. Carrington writes in a polished, in
teresting style, with discreet caution pre
dominating, and what he says must be
accepted a coming from one qualified
by study and scientific skill to speak on
wuoh a subject. Mr. Carrington seems to
be accepted as an expert prestidigltateur.
m confirmed skeptic and an authority
on the detection of psychic frauds yet
lie has Joined the believers who manifest
a cautious acceptance of Euaapia, the
medium. X parallel is presented be
tween Eusapia Falladino and Mrs. Piper,
two famous mediums, and it Is shown
that while Mrs. Piper has been examined
by very few scientific men, she is accept
ed as a medium whose actions occur in
the light, a.nd during the time she re
mains in a trance "her hand writes out
certain messages automatically which aro
read at the time by tne sitter. The whole
point of Interest, In her case. Is the con
tent of the written message."
On the other hand, KuMtpla. Falladino
is & "physical medium" that is. to t-jy,
physical phenomena occur in her pres
ence, and mental phenomena such as are
usually seen In the presence of trance
mediums, are missing. "Tables and
chairs move about the room of their own
accord, untouched by visible hands; the
tables around which the sitters are seat
ed rook violently and finally go com
pletely in the sir. contrary to the law of
gravitation. A stream of cold air seems
10 come from one place in her head.
IJshta are seen in various parts of the
room: musical Instruments are played, no
hand touching them; hands and faces
appear not belonging to any member
of the circle or to the medium, and va
rious other phenomena of a kindred na
ture occur, quite inexplicable by any of
the Known laws of physical science." It
1s seen. then, at a glance, that this Eusa
pia Is a remarkable person, one of the
most remarkable of our day.
Flatnmarton is quoted as saying: "Eu
sapia Palladino, Is a woman of verv or
dinarr appearance, a brunette, her figure
little under medium height. She was
not all neurotic, rather stout. She was
born January II, 1S54, in a village of La
Pouille; her mother died while giving
birth to a child: her father was assassi
nated eight years afterwards. In 1S62. by
brigands in Southern Italy. Eusapia Pal
ladino is her matden name. She was
married to a merchunt of modest means,
named Raphael Delgais. a citiaen of Na
ple She manages tr.e petty business of
the shop. Is illiterate, does not know how
to either read or write, understands only
a little French. I conversed with her
and soon perceived that she has no the
ories and does not burden herself by
trying to explain the phenomena pro
duced by he.r."
Mr. Carrington, for 151 pages, explains
the various experiments madu by various
savants on Eusapia to test her worth as
a medium. On page 152 our author be
slns to tell his personal experiments with
the medium in November and December
of llWS. in Naples, Italy, when he had the
assistance of two scientific colleagues.
Hon. Everard Fielding and "vv. AV. Bag
gaily. The trio watched eagerly for trick
work, but did not find visible evidence of
K.
Eusapia's work was such that the three
examiners accepted her as a genuine me.
dlum. Mr. Carrington's love of caution
may be inferred from this extract: "Why
does Eusapia cheat? I believe that she
does this sometimes, simply and solely
because of her love of mischief. She de
lights in t-eeing onlookers at the phe
nomena produced through her medium
ship, and when she is in a trance state
she remembers very little of what takes
place, and. as It were, misses all the fun.
But whan she Is In a normal state and
ran observe what is going on. she will
My fraudulently to produce phenomena
simply and solely for the love of the
thing. . . But I am convinced that
".he majority of her fraudulent phenomena
re produced in a seml-tranoe condition
and that she is unaware of her move
ments. . . ,. There is a stror.g impulse
to produce phenomena, and. if she is not
restrained, she will endeavou to produce
them in a perfectly normal manner. But
If she is restrained, genuine phenomena
will result as we repeatedly ascertained."
Sometimes Eusapia commenced her
I seances by being; seized with a fit of
I hysterics, as if In pain. On other oeca
I sions she was afflicted with nausea. "She
appeared shrunken together, weak, nau
seated, with loss of memory of much that
nas transpired, her face deeply lined and
sallow giddiness and general uncertain
ty an to her surroundings these ere all
symptoms which are observed at the
conclusion of the seance, when even
graver symptoms, such as hysteria, par
tial saralysis. etc., do not supervene."
At the seances the usual table-raps, ta-ble-tumblingB,
spirit messages, spirit ap
pearances manifested themselves, condi
tions attendant on the usual high-class
spiritistic seance presided over by an am
bitious medium. Eueapla's "star-guide"
or control is one John King, who is said
to have been her father In a previous
life. One Is surprised that this ances
tor of hers is not given as one of the
Caesars.
When she is In a trance, Eusapia"s
pulss gradually raises from 88 to 120 pul
sations a minute. Mr. Carrington is sure
that she Is not hypnotized and that he
herself enters into the trance state when
she becomes a link In the chain of hands.
Naturally. Eusapia Insists on near-dark-ne.s
for the operation of her psychic phe
nomena, on the ground that light must
be excluded because it destroys the sub
tle forces produced and disintegrates the
forms that would otherwise materialize.
For example, a "dark room" is neces
sary for the reproduction of a successful
photograrh. Eusapia thinks that the
force which causes the psychic phenom
ena la a magnetic fluid which emanates
from her body, when she is in a trance.
What is the ultimate conclusion of it
all? Mr. Carrington thinks that the most
satisfactory hypothesis is the spiritistic,
and makes these assumptions: Conscious
ness persists after the dissolution of the
organism: this consciousness maintains
it personal Identity including, of course,
memory; this consciousness ("soul") la or
inhabits a body of the same shape as our
physical body at least at first: It Is
constantly about us in our surroundings
capable of exercising certain functions
t. ua cecmed supernormal, such as tele
pathy, clairvoyance, etc.; It is normally
1'ivlstble to Uk, but may become visible
under-certain conditions, as yet unknown,
to one or more Individuals, and can then
more cr Kre directly communicate with
then'-, and, such an intelligence can only
net on tho material lrunj through some
Intermediary and not d ret tly either up
t. a nei-voxa, mechanini (yiobably ir.di
tectiy) or upon inert mat'.or (almost cer
tainly ir.cl.iectly) through some eemi
fiuidic lr.ee'. mediary.

Aristocracy and gambling combine to
makethls novel a series of dashing,
lively pictures, with scarcely a mo
ment's let up there's always some
thing doing. Needless to remark, the
environment is English, and most of
the people belong to that class of ele
gant Idlers who have nothing very par
ticular to do but fritter away money
they never earned, yawn and show that
they lack common sense.
Take, for instance, scenes laid- at the
country house of the De la Bocnes.
There are two brothers, Andrew and
Cecil De la Borne, and Cecil is "laying
for" the Princess of Strurm and her
friend, Forrest, to arrive from London
to help him relieve Lord Ronald Engle
ton of all hia spare cash In a "fixed"
card game. The house party is at last
settled, and the Prtnoess and Forrest
consult about their plan of operations
In the approaching game, in which they
hope to ruin the noble lord, financially:
"I am bothered about Engleton. Forrest
said. "1 didn't like his insisting upon out
tint; last night. What do you think, he
meant by it?"
The princess shrugged, her shoulders.
"Nothing- at all," ehe answered. "He may
have thought that - were lucky together,
and of course he knows that you are th
beet player. There la no reason why he
Hhould be willing to play with Cecil de la
Borne when by cutting with you he would
b more likely to win."
"You think that that la all?" Forrest
asked.
"I think so." the princess-answered. "What
had you in your mind?"
"I wondered." Forrest said thoughtful! v.
"whether he had heard any of the gossip
at the club."
The princess frowned Impatiently.
"For Heaven's sake, dou't b imagina
tive, Nlgeh" she declared. "If you give
way Ilka this you will lose your nerve In ao
time."
"Very well." Forreat maid. "Let ua take
It for granted, then, that he did tt only
because he preferred to play with me to
playing against me. What is to become of
our litt;e cheme if wa cut as we did last
night all the time?"
The princess smiled.
"You ought to be able to manage that "
h cald erell.v. "You are so good at
card tricks that you ahould able te get
an ace when you want It. I always cut
third from the end. you know."
-There la only one way. Ena." Forreat
aald. "In which we conld Improve matters."
"And what w that?" she aaked quickly
lnV?on t you ,hlnk we could get our host
ne princess was silent for several mo
ments. "It is a little dangerous. I am afraid,"
she said.
"I don't see why." Forrest 'answered. "It
he were once In he'd have to hold his
tongue, and you can do Juct what you like
with him. He seems to be Just one of those
pulpy sort of persona whom ydu could .per
suade Into a thing before he had hod time
to think, about it."
Cecil falls In with the plans of his
fellow conspirators. .The big scene
comes after a long night's play, when
Engleton says he does not wish to play
any more. "Another rubber" is the
cry of the genteel robbers. And then:
The others came toward the table, and
the princess throw down the cards. They
all three cut. Engleton, however, did not
move.
"I think." he said, "that you did not
quite understand me. I said that I did not
care to play any niore."
"Three against one." the princess re
marked lightly.
"Why not play cutthroat, then?" Engle
ton remarked. "It would be an excellent
arrangement."
"Why ao?" Forrest asked.
"Because you could rob one another." En
gleton said. "It would be interesting to
wateh."
A few seconds'- intense silence followed
Engleton's wordF. It waa tha princess who
first spoke. Her tone was composed, but
ehllly. She looked toward Engleton with
teady eyes.
"My dear Lord Ronald," she said, ''Is this
a Joke? I am afraid my sense of humor
grows a little dull at this hour of the
morning."
"It was not meant for a Joke," Engleton
said. "My words were spoken in earnest "
The princess, without any absolute move
ment, seemed suddenly to become more
erect. One forgot her rouge, her- blackened
eyebrows, her powdered cheeks. It was tha
great lady who looked at Engleton
"Are we to take this. Lord Ronald," she
asked, "aa a serious accusation ?"
"You can take it for what it Is, madam."
Engleton answered -"the truth."
-Caoll de la Borne rose to his feet and
leaned across the table. His cheeks were
as pale as death. His voice was shaking.
"I am your host, Engeton," he said, "and
I demand an explanation of what you have
said. Tour accusation is absurd. You must
be drunk or out of your senses" .
"I am neither drunk nor out of my
senses." Engleton answered, "nor am I such
an utter fool as to be so easily deceived.
The fact that you, as my partner, played
like an idiot, made rotten declarations, and
revoked when one rubber waa nearly won,
I pass over. That may or may not have
been your miserable Idea of the game. Apart
from that, I regret to have discovered that
you, Forrest, and you. madam." he added,
addressing the princess, "have made use
throughout the last seven rubbers oc a code
wUh your Angers, both for the declarations
and for the leads. My suspicions were
aroused. I must confess, by accident. It
was remarkably easy, however, to verify
them. Look here!"
Engleton touched his forehead.
"Hearts!" he said.
He touched his lip.
"Diamonds!" he added.
He passed his fingers across his eyebrows
"Spades!"
Major Forrest rose to his feet.
Whew! The scene suggests red-hot
iron emitting sparks when struck with
a blacksmith's hammer. The ope really
pleasant person ttr the story is Jeanne,
a young girl beloved by Andrew De la
Borne. She Is a captivating heroine.
The TJherty of IToptaeeyina-. by Rev. H.
Hensley Henson. t. r. ii.sO. Yale Uni
versity Press, New York City.
This eloquent preacher is canon of
Westminster and rector of Westminster.
England, and the book now presented
contains the Lyman Beecher. lectures Dr.
Henson delivered during this present, but
now swiftly passing, year, before the
Yale Divinity School, and three sermons.
Dr. Hendson writes and preaches for the
religious laymen of the churches, and
he gives a general appeal to the man in
the pew to believe in all that is best.
He is frank enough to say that with the
growth of new issues In the church, such
as the sudden emergence of Socialism as
It diverts men's minds from spiritual is
sues, from every point of view the out
look for an honest English preacher is
not very encouraging. Two of the best,
most helpful sermons are: "Functions
and Clatms of the Preacher" and "The
interpretation of Scripture in Sermons."
At times, the book is controversial, but
the issue is always . ably met. An un
usual authoritative original message on
religious, life.

Will flash along the chords, anu go.
History of tbe Great American Fe-rtmies. by
Gustavus Myers. Charles H. Kerr & Co..
Chicago. III.
Mr. Myers thinks that the great family
fortunes of the United States, such as
those of the Astors. Vanderbllts. etc., are
the natural, logical outcome of a system
based upon factors, the Inevitable result
of which is the utter despoilment of the
many for the' benefit of a few. In short,
Mr. Myers Is a Socialistic sympathizer,
and writes with brilliant cleverness from
that point of view.
Plutocrats are demolished, in these
pages, again and again; and a contrast
is presented of "accelerated concentra
tion of Immense wealth running side by
sirle with a property-less, expropriated
and exploited multitude." - Argument is
generHlly directed against a system which
subsists upon the institutions of private
property and wage labor. This thought
ful and "Roosevelt" book Is divided into
two heads: "Conditions in Colonial and
Settlement Times" and "The Great Land
Fortunes."
The Lurht of Inspiration, by Mrs. Nora
Armstrong. Bullet ina Publishing Company,
Portland. Or.
A little book of verse, breathing beauty
of thought, the conviction of our common
brotherhood, and sensing the teachings
of reincarnation and what is known as
a "new thought" idea. -Mrs. Armstrong
is a Portland woman, and her poetry Is
very creditable to her and the city that
is her home. Her book consists of 46
printed pages,, and her poems are 37 in
number. The most beautiful in poetic
finish and purity of imagery are. "If I
Were the Earth and You Were the Sun,"
"The Second Birth," "The Spiritual
Rock," "Life After Death" and "The
Crown of Motherhood." One humorous
poem. "The Bitter With the Sweet." has
a smiling vein in it, one that a woman
will be sure to appreciate. The book Is
dedicated to the author's family and
friends "and the evergreen hills of Ore
gon." History of the States, Vailed and Otherwise,
by Judge Charles F. Moore. $1.50. The
Neale Publishing Company, New York
City.
Etven the hardened, cynical reader
would look his astonishment, i asked to
reed a history of our country, a history
from an absolutely new point of view,
witty, sarcastic, searching. We have al
ready had so , many histories. Well,
Judge Moore's' history now issued, is such
a rare Jewel, although he cheerfully ad
mits that his is the only history on the
market which admits its literary inac
curacy. The recording of grave histor
ical events is not attempted with serious
import, but very little of our history es
capes our author's eagle eye. as he looks
around for something on which to hang
a Joke and bring the laugh.
The history is so up-to-date that it in
cludes reviews of the Taft administra
tion and the Peary-Cook controversy.

Scientific Treatment
My success has come as a reward of
ability and honest, earnest and scientific
application of thorough understanding.
Original Methods
I depend upon nobody's theories, but
treat my patients in . the light of
my own knowledge and experience.
There is not another physician or specialist anywhere who treats
men's ailments as I treat them. This is a fact that should be duly consid
ered by those who have repeatedly been disappointed in their efforts to
obtain a cure. In no other branch of practice has medical science .so
lagged and the forms of treatment now commonly employed among the
profession are largely based upon theories that have been handed down
through generations of doctors. An evidence of this is the prevalent in
abpity to successfully cope with several of those ailments peculiar to men.
, 1 hare learned Nature's laws applying to "their cause and cure.
Ibrough this knowledge I have perfected forms of treatment whollv orig
inal and distinctive. Every requirement for a thorough cure is scientif
ically met, and as a result I am able to completely master cases commonly
regarded as incurable. I especially invite those who have been long af
flicted to consult me. My successs in curing difficult cases has brought
my marvelous growth of practice and made me the foremost specialist
treating men's ailments".
HEX OXLT.
CONTRACTED AILMENT!.
Every case of contracted ail
ment I treat is thoroughlv cured;
mv patients have no relapses.
When I pronounce a case cured
there is not a particle of infection
or inflammation remaining, and
there is not the Bllghtest dangrer
that the disease will return in its
original form or work Its way
into the general system. No con
tracted disorder is so trivial as
to warrant uncertain methods of
treatment, and I especially solicit
those cases that other doctoVs
have been unable to cure.
