THE CRYSTAL
if Haay years ago I was boarding in a
"well known honse ut tbe lower end of
. Broadway, kept by a jolly, light eyed,
Sight haired, fat German lady, the wid-
of a "professor,'' Mrue. Steinberg.
Am for myself, I was a quiet, old fash
ioned teacher of languages, and the
place suited me. Among my pupils was
the daughter of a rich widow lady, liv
ing in "Washington sqnre, which was the
lieight of fashionable aspiration in those
days. My department was instruction
in the German language, and in Ella
Cameron I found a pupil so completely
ad naturally imbued with the mysti--casm
deemed peculiar to the Germans
nd the orientals that I found she
grasped the instinct of that grandly ex- -jKTjRsive
language as an infant learning
its mother tongue. There was German
-Wood somewhere in the long pedigree
' of Ella's ancestors.
Ella Cameron had inherited sufficient
f the natural Scotch intellectual force
to give her balance without blunting
the subtle sensibilities of her mind.
One day there came to ' our house a
'.foreign gentleman to board. No one
knew his nationality, and to this day I
an ignorant of it. He spoke English
Haently and idomaticaHy correct, bnt
with such an accent as he might have
learned by being educated abroad; yet
1m was not an Englisnman, for he said
aa. His German was perfection, his
Trench Parisian, his Italian and Spanish
a marvel. As for his age, he might have
"been thirty or he might have been fifty.
Naturally enough, with our assimila
ting tastes, education and pursuits, and
through the kind intervention of Mme.
Steinberg, Paul Stolberg and I became
aoon acquainted and then intimate.
"Great men," he would say, "are but
tbe embodiment of an abstraction, and
as purely accidental as anything within
tbe meaning of the word."
These and similar enunciations he
would give utterance to, not in any dog
matic or self sufficient spirit, but simply
mm stating the result of his study and ex
perience. .
Host cultivated and educated persons
I have met have possessed hobbies of
-some sort, and Stalberg's hobby was the
collection of crystals. His collection,
however, was certainly the finest I ever
saw, containing specimens of. quartz,
par and other minerals, and even the
diamond in various forms. They were
Arranged in his cabinet under glass, and
wnmbered several hundred. Besides
these, he had in another case a collection
f magnets, comprising about fifty, and
also of all sizes. Such a curious con
catenation of tastes surprised me, and I
remarked upon it, asking why he had
selected two such diverse objects for col
lection. ,
"Not so diverse as you think, my dear
friend,' said he. "for I, at least, think
that where two powers, apparently dif
ferent in form and character, produce
the same results, if exercised in the same
manner, there must be consanguinity
somewhere."
The magnet attracts," said I, "and
the crystal, excited by friction, will do
the same, bnt so will a glass bottle or a
stick of sealing wax."
He smiled, and going to his crystal
cabinet selected from it one of the larger
-ones; then he said, as he returned to my
side, "Sit easily in your chair while I
show you something else the crystal will
do, and mark your sensations." I took
an easy position, resting my hands on
m the arms of the chair, and waited.
Seating himself directly in front of me,
he raised the crystal with both hands
and at about a distance of six inches
from my person, drew it alowly, perpen
dicularly before me, from my head to my
' feet. As he did so I noticed a sensation
of a light breeze blowing upon me.
The operation was repeated, and this
time I felt a pleasant drowsiness creep
ever me, the cool wind still blew upon
. ue, and I seemed to see nothing but the
crystal, which assumed a larger appear
ance and became luminous at the angles.
A third pass, and it occurred to me that
I would mention this luminous appear
ance, which was increasing; bnt on try-
m jug to do so I found I could not speak or
aove, and with a dim fancy that I was
rude to fall asleep under such circum
stances I became insensible.
When I became conscious the window
'was open, and the cool October wind
blowing upon me; my forehead was wet,
and my chair had been wheeled in front
f the window. Stolberg sat by me,
- and I observed that he looked paler than
usual and anxious.
"What is the matter?" said L
Nothing," he replied. "I do not care
to wait until' you should come naturally
oat of your coma, so I used physical
means to awaken you. What do yuu
think of the power of the crystal now?"
I replied that I had never heard of it
before, and described my sensations to
him; but he did not pay much attention,
and his mind seemed distraught.
"But how is it about the magnet?"
said I, "you have not yet proved to me
any identity between these two forces."
"One experiment of this sort is enough
for an evening," he replied; "on another
occasion I will convince you that the
magnet possesses precisely the same
power; but tell me you have a pupil
whom I should much like to meet Miss
Cameron;"
I was surprised that he should have
heard of her, and Raid so.
"Yon mentioned .her name when you
were under the influence of the crystal,"
he replied.
"So, then," said I, "this power is allied
to that of animal magnetism?"
"It produced a kindred result by a dif
ferent means- But this Miss Cameron,
as I judge from your remarks, must be a
peculiar character what I should call
sublimated P
"You are right, though I had no idea
of talking in my sleep, or telling tales
out of school; but really I would like
you to see her and converse with her."
Stolberg expressed the pleasure it
would give him to meet her, and I prom
ised to make an arrangement to that end
when I gave her my lesson on the fol
lowing day. .
My description of my xnend, and my
assurance of his scholarly attainments,
roused sufficient curiosity in my pupil to
render her eager to see him. So an ap
pointment was made, with the consent
of her mother,' "for the following day,
and, punctual to the hour, we entered
Mrs. Cameron s drawing room.
The ladies appeared immediately after,
and, presenting my friend, what was my
surprise to see Miss Cameron suddenly
pause, trembling violently, while her
face became vividly pale. I stepped for
ward to support her, but Stolberg had al
ready taken her hand and, as he grace
fully expressed his gratification at meet
ing her, she became instantly calm, and,
seating herself, in a moment she was
pleasantly engaged in conversation.
Somehow or other we drifted into the
subject of mesmerism, and I mentioned
the affair of the crystal. Ella was in
terested, and begged that Mr. Stolberg
would give her an opportunity of wit
nessing its effects. He agreed willingly.
and a future occasion was promised when
the experiment should be made on the
young lady herself.
A few days later, on reaching our
boarding honse, I was informed by Mme.
Steinberg that Mr. Stolberg had packed
all his property, with orders to send it
on board a packet, which was to sail on
the following day for Hamburg. A note
to me, left by himself, informed me that
he had received letters which required
his immediate departure, but that he
would not deprive Miss Cameron of her
seance, and would meet me at her moth
er's house in the evening at the hour
which had been named.
At that time and place I found him,
apparently making himself quite at
home; and presently opening a small
box which he had brought with him he
drew from it the same crystal with
which he had operated upon me. ."
Seating himself in front of her as she
reclined easily in her arm chair he com
menced the mysterious passes with his
crystal. I watched her closely, and as
he moved it slowly in front of her I
could perceive that she gradually grew
pale; then her eyelids dropped, and 6he
was apparently in a sound sleep. Her
mother called to her, touched her, and
even used some gentle violence to awak
en her, but without the slightest appar
ent effect.
Pointing the crystal at her Stolberg
drew silently backward toward the door,
when, to our astonishment, the sleeping
figure rose, or rather glided after him,
out of the door, into the hall, down the
stairs, aud as he opened the front door
Stolberg called to Mrs. Cameron, who
stood with me at the head of the stairs
watching the results of this wonderful
influence:
"You see, madame, she would follow
me anywhere," and, as though to prove
it, she passed out of the door, which
Stolberg shut, and, to my horror, I heard
him lock it after him.
I flew down the two flights of stairs
into the basement, my brain turning
mad, it seemed to me, and reached the
sidewalk by the lower door just in time
to see a carriage turning at fall speed
the next corner.
Returning to Mrs. Cameron 1 found
her in a swoon, out of which, as she
awakened to sensibility, she passed into
convulsions and at midnight was a corpse.
Meanwhile the police had been informed,
messages sent in all directions, but of
Stolberg or his unhappy victim I have
never heard since. Buffalo News.

ADVANCE IN .'MEDICINE.
REMARKABLE PROGRESS MADE TO
PREVENT DISEASES. i
TTm InpnraMat in Medical Science Baa
Been In Three Distinct Directions Ne
cessity ef Cleanliness Is the Greatest
Factor In Modern Treatment.
''Emancipation from the thraldom of
authority in which it was fast bound for
centuries, " said Dr. Osier, "medicine has
progressed with extraordinary rapidity,
and even within the present generation
has undergone a complete revolution.
The advance has been in three directions.
First, in tbe prevention of disease. A
study of the conditions under which epi
demics develop has led to the important
work of sanitary science. For fifty
years the watchword of the profession
in this matter has been 'cleanliness;' and
clean streets, good drains and pure wa
ter have in many towns reduced the
mortality from certain diseases 60 per
cent.
-'In this department certainly medi
cine has achieved its greatest victories.
It is a thought full of encouragement
to know that such diseases as typhoid
fever and diphtheria may ultimately be
stamped out and be as rare among us as
leprosy and smallpox. In this work the
profession requires and can often obtain
the intelligent co-operation . of city au
thorities and the public. People scarce
ly understand how. much has already
been done, nor do they yet appreciate
the possibilities of preventive medicine.
PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
"The second great advance which
medicine has made relates to the knowl
edge which has been gained of the agents
producing diseases. Dating from' the
studies on fermentation by Pasteur, and
the early work of Lister, we have gradu
ally learned to recognize the importance
of the structures known as bacteria,
which has revolutionized the practice of
surgery and gynecology. Today surgery
is a new art, and hundreds now recover
after operations from which hundreds
previously died. The information which
we now have on these subjects has been
slowly and painfully acquired, here a
little and there a little; but the outcome
of it all is that as clean streets and good
drains and pure water mean municipal
health, so absolute cleanliness and ab
sence of contamination mean in. great
part freedom from infection. -
'So universally present are the infect
ive agents, particularly of suppuration,
that it is only by the most scrupulous
care that the infection of wounds can be
prevented, and it is now generally ac
knowledged that the highest type of this
antisei ticism is obtained, not by the
use of various solutions which destroy
the germs, but by such measures of clean
liness as effectually prevent the possibil
ity of their presence. '
"The researches showing the relation
of special microscopic organisms to spec
ial diseases are likely to lead to the most
important results. The cultivation of
the germs of disease outside of the body
has enabled us to study the products of
their growth and in several instances
from them to obtain materials which,
when injected into an animal t act as a
sort of vaccine against the disease itself.
The hope of obtaining in some of the
most important diseases vaccines which
will bear the. same relation to them as
ordinary vaccine to smallpox is very
reasonable and likely ere long to be real
ized. In ' another direction, too, the
studies of Koch have shown that in the
growth of these bacilli materials are ob
tained which may act most powerfully
upon the body and attack the elements
of the disease itself. His discovery of
the action of the product of the growth
of the tubercle bacilli upon tuberculous
tissue ranks as one of the most remark
able of late years.
. CHANCES OF LIVING ABE BETTKB.
"But 1 hear the householder say: 'All
that is very well, but Tommy gets the
measles and Mary has the mumps and
Susie gets the whooping cough just as
my grandmother tells me her children
had fifty years ago. My doctor's bills
are possibly a little larger than were
father's, and 1 know his drug bill could
not have been as heavy as mine for the
last quarter." This may be perfectly
true, for the millenium has not yet come,
but it is perfectly true that today Mrs.
Householder's risks have been reduced to
a minimum in the necessary domestic
emergencies, and her children's chances
of reaching maturity have been enor
mously enhanced.
''The third great advance has been the
diffusion in the profession and among
the public of more rational ideas upon
the treatment of disease. Dieting and
nursing have supplanted in great part
bleeding and physicking. We know now
that a majority of febrile affections run
a definite course uninfluenced by drugs.
We recognize daily, the great fact that
disease is only a modification of the nor
mal processes of health, and that thers
is a natural tendency to recover. We
cannot claim in the medicinal treatment
of disease' to have made great positive
advances, still we have learned not to
do what we did is for the poor patients
a great gain. The past half century
has placed only a half dozen absolutely
indispensable drugs, which must be used
by all indiscriminately who practice the
healing art.
"A desire to take medicine is perhaps
the great feature which distinguishes
man from other am'nmiff, Why this ap
petite should have develorjed. how it
could have grown to its present dimen-v
ataxia, wnat k wiu ultimately reacn, are
interesting problems too deep for me.
"Some of. the brightest hopes of hu
manity are with the medical profession.
Disease will always be with us, but we
may look forward confidently to the
time when epidemics shall be no more,
when typhoid shall be as rare as typhus
and tuberculosis as leprosy. Man, nat
urally a transgressor daily, both in ig
norance and deliberately breaking the
laws of health, will always need doc
tors, but the great get up oi preventable
dincaacn .will disappear. The progress
will be gradual. What has been done
Is bat an earnest of the things that shall
be done. Amid many disappointments
we must not be impatient, Science
