"Telepathy or the faculty o f thought transference, or whatever you've a mind to call It,” said the average man the other day, according to the New York World, “ seems to be making a good deal of a stir nowodays. Person ally, I don’t fall for these newfangled things very often, and the more I read the ‘wonderful experiences’ cited by people to prove their theories, the more I wonder at their gullibility. I believe that in the few thousand years that we have been Inhabiting and blessing thla mundane sphere by our presence, we have discovered about all the senses that we have. “ Something mighty strange hap pened In my own family, yesterday, however, that, If I were one of these easily convinced people, might make me believe that there is such a thing as telepathy. I look on It merely as a queer coincidence, but you can’t con vince my wife, who was one of the pranclpal actors In the strange event “ My w ife used to be very Intimate wltb a woman whom we will call Mrs. Jones. They were together on shop ping trips, euchre scraps, bargain rushes and the like, four times a week. When one was away or unable to see the other, their correspondence was extremely faithful. Thla Intimacy kept on for some years, and suddenly stopped. There was no reason, except that other Interests attracted my wife, and circumstances In general com bined to make them see less of each other. For perhaps a year the two women have not seen each other, and the letters, which were frequent at first, dwindled until the correspond ence, like the visits, entirely ceased. “The other woman moved, so did we, and neither fam ily knew the oth er's address. Yesterday my w ife was sitting In the front room, writing let ters. Her desk Is near a window over looking the street A fter writing a while she looked up and said: “ 'It’ s strange, but 1 can’t help thinking about Mrs. Jones. I haven’t seen her for a year, nor have I thought of her for weeks and months, but to-day she Is In my mind all the time. I wish I knew where she lives.’ “ ‘Wish you did, my dear,’ said I, and went on wltb my reading. But In a little while she said again: “ ‘Don't you suppose you could find the Joneses’ address :,i the directory? I f you are not too tired to go out to the drug store----- ’ “ ‘All right,’ said I, ‘I will, In a lit tle while. Do you want to write to her?* "8he went on writing a little while longer, and suddenly she gave a shout that made me jump to my feet In fear that something bed happened to her. She was standing at the window gaz ing fixedly at a window In the apart ment house across the street, where another woman, gazing just as fixedly at our windows, stood. That other woman was— Mrs. Jones. “ My w ife rushed downstairs and across the street and the two women met at the doorway of the apartment house. After the imaginable caresses, they each told the same story of hav ing, the other constantly In her thought, and wishing she knew her address, so as to write a letter. And now they're good friends again. “ Was It telepathy that made the two women think of each other as they were brought Into near association? I neglected to state that the Joneses had Just moved Into their apartment across the way from ours. You can’t make Mrs. Jones and my w ife think that there wasn't a regular system of brain waves from our window to theirs, but I don't know. Seems strange, that’s all." ______________________ given off by the plant attracted all manner of lnaecta, which was not sur prising, as the odor was ao strong ai almost to repel all Investigation. The plant la called by the native Blcols “ borac sa Mayo,” that la, May flower. It blooma only during the month o f May. It la no doubt a mem ber of the order Ulaceae, better com monly known at the lily or tulip fam ily. It has the large bulb, the incon spicuous calyx, the pronounced stig ma and the characteristic structure of lilies In general. The remarkable fea tures o f this particular variety o f lilies are that It has such a pungent odor and that it baa absolutely no leaves at the time o f blossoming. These ap pear later, when the flower has died. The blossom rests Immediately on the ground and la not more than eight or nine Inches high. The calyx often measures a foot In diameter. A fter the blossom has disappeared the leaves begin to sprout from the bulb. These often grow to the height o f three or four feet. Their general shape is similar to that of the leaves o f the calls lily, but they are divided into an Irregular number of lobes or fronds. The corolla and the remarkably ex agerated stigma exude a clear viscous fluid, which seems to be the cause of the offensive odor. This fluid attracts the flies, thus Insuring the transmis sion of the pollen from plant to plant. The large bulb, In fact, all parts of the plant, have the peculiar acrid Juice which Is so poisonous, a trait common to the filaceous order. The acrid taste and the poisonous effect o f the juice are lost upon cooking for several hours. During the period of frondes- cence there Is no odor present. This plnnt is not used for food by the na tives where It Is found, though there are aeveral other species o f the same order which are highly esteemed by them as food. As to “ E a rly ” Vegetables. Every well-regulated family ought ta hare at least one cold frame and one hotbed, says the Garden Magaxlne. A cold frame differs from a hotbed In having no fermenting manure to sup ply heat, and In being used chiefly for protecting, over the winter, plants that could not live outdoors, such as ten roses, while a hotbed la used chiefly to get fresh vegetables a month or more earlier In the spring. Both are, of course, cheaper than greenhouses, and both have other uses than those men tioned above. A cold frame may cost anywhere from nothing to $15. I f one docs not care about looks, a loosely thrown to gether frame-work, such as Is used la the field and removed, leaving the plants to mature where they started, will be found useful for some things, but the best thing Is to have a perma nent structure which Is stoned, bricked and painted. One that will answer every purpose Is nothing more than a topless and bottomless box wltb a slope of a few Inches to the front, which must face the south or south east. Set It where there will be a fence or building to protect from north winds. Fit the top with a sash which can be lifted for airing and watering; see that the soil Is rich and mellow enough for a garden bed; bank up the outside, and you will be ready to sow the seeds o f Joy for yourself and of envy for your neighbors.

Compressed A i r F u rn ish es th s P o w e r fo r W o r k in g the Device, In the city of Muskegon, Mich., salt la used In large quantities, and conse quently the warehouses o f the firms dealing In It are capacious enough to store away a considerable supply. As Is well known, ealt, on account of Its affinity for water, la a substance that has a tendency to harden and cake when piled away any length of time, and some of the cellars where It la stored contain beds of It twenty feet high and ao bard that but little Im pression can be made upon them even with the pick or ax. For thla reason a somewhat curious device has been brought Into use to loosen the material so that It can readily be secured. This Is a large boring tool or augur, which la oper ated by compressed air. The augur Is mounted on a wheeled truck, which la guided by bandies projecting from the rear of the framework. The rear end of the augur revolves In a socket fitted Into the framework, while the air Is admitted to the socket from the hose which supplies It. When operated the boring tool la pushed against the mass o f salt and the augur la set In motion, and In a minute or two, so rapidly does the tool work, a hole about five Inches In diam eter Is made In the formation the en tire length of the augur. Then anoth er hole la drilled parallel with the first, and another, until the pile has been undermined, so to speak, when Ita contents can easily be broken out. The advantage of this method Is seen when It Is said that two men can get out aa much salt by the power method as two dozen men by using picks and ebovela.— Technical World. “ My friend,” said the perspiring chauf feur, whose tonneau had broken down on the pike, “ can you tell me how far it is from here to Three Oaks?” “ Thirty miles as the crow flies,” re sponded the sun-tanned farmer. “ Thank you.

W A 8 A VERY A S TU TE LION, A l a B ap a rlora a f K in d L le a t e a a a t , W k t T h a ra b y B ecam a a C a lo a a L John Burroughs, tba naturalist, was laughing about ths story, widely pub lished not long since, of a wild duck that got a salt water mussel on Its tongue and had Intelligence enough ta fly from the salt to the fresh water, where tt dipped the mussel, sickening It through osmosis, and thus causing it to loosen Its firm grip. “ I believe that story o f ths duck that understood tbs theory of osmosis,” said Mr. Burroughs. “ I believe It ■■ Implicitly as I believe ths story o f ths crippled lion and the young lieuten ant. “ Perhaps you have heard this story? No? Well, then: “ A young lieutenant, during sa A f rican campaign, came one day upon a badly crippled Hon. The great bruts limped ever the tawny sand on three paws, holding Its fourth paw In ths sir. And every now snd then, with a kind of groan. It would pause and lick the Injured paw. “ When the lion saw the young lien- tenant It came slowly toward him. Ha stood his ground, rifle In hand. But the beast meant no barm. It drew close to him; It rubbed against him with soft, feline purrs; It extended Its hurt psw. “ The lieutenant examined the psw, and found that there waa a large thorn In It. He extracted the thorn, the Hon roaring with pain, and he bound up the wound with hla handkerchief. Then, wltb every manifestation of re lief and gratitude, ths animal with drew. “ But It remembered Its benefactor. It was grateful. And In a practical way It rewarded the young man. “ This Hon ran over the regiment’s list of officers, snd ate all who were the lieutenant’s superior Hi rank. Thus, In a few weeks, the young man, thanks to ths astute animal, became ■ colo nel.” That D eadly H atpin.

The Aspaslas and Julias snd Claud- las who decked themselves a couple at thousand years or more ago, to the un doing of the particular Balbua or Mar cus they desired to fascinate, wore bone hairpins of prodigious length. Yet, like the women of thla present time, they seem to have experienced the same difficulty In keeping them In place. This fact came to light during excavations at Silt-heater, In England, ■ hundred or so of these bons hairpins being found In the Roman bath, col lected, maybe, by the bath attendant, to prove all these centuries later that there Is nothing new under the sun, and that In all ages the same little foibles have been possessed by woman.
