If that is so, the first effort inight be made to teach how to count, and, of atthe beginning only to count up to two. Ifthat can be accomplished, still further counting can unquestionably be tauglit, and no doubt by degrees a much greater amount of generalization and reason itself. Does it seem impossible that a brute may learn to associate invariably the word “one” with a single object, and “two” with a pair of objects, no matter of what kind? At first the two objects should always be two like ones; but by degrees a dit- ference inthem might beallowed. Theteaching of common naines might next be taken up; or it might be begua along with the counting, but without the confusing addition of any plural termination.

From the Boston Herald, December 10th. “Never kill a man save in self-defense; get caught rather than drop a man,” was the pra- dent motto of a celebrated cracksman. “It is only the tyro of the bungler who flourishes revolvers and quickly appeals to the bludgeon.” “What is the prime quality in your business?” erve—nothing else.” “What is the best method?” “Boldness. Many a job have I done right be- fore the eyes of people; done it just as though it was the regular thing and I was just where I ought tobe. Ihave had my pal taking things out of a house when a couple of cops were it was all right, as I looked right at them. I tell youa fellow wants to keep perfectly cool and know what he is doing and what he is going to do every time. “The right kind of men are somehow lacking. They are either too timid or too rough. It wants a fine man, a real Damascus blade, to doa neat job. There are plenty of opportunities, if there | were only the men to fill them. But I was speak- ing ofchances. The people are asleep; you are awake. They are timid; you are perfectly cool. You know just what to do. You know just what they will do if they wake up. They don’t know how many are in the house, nor where you are. Most people are cowards in the night. Without any odds you could get the best of them but in the night. with the bugbear and the reality of a Uurglar in the house—and they haye spent all the years of their lives in working up a dreadful fellow in their imazinations—in sucha plight, a man’s house islike a foreign land to him, and he Js a perfect stranger to the situation in his own hi i. en you trust most to bewilderment and fea . we don’t. A good job means getting in and out again without stirring things up. If it comes to the worst, then the dread and fear and contusion which we cause all help us, and some- times the more fuss there 1s the easier we can get off.” “Tow do you feel when you are alone in a house | at midnight running such terrible here, now, you have got as much nonsense into that question as they usually do. In the first place, midnight is not the usual hour when ahouse is worked. Things are not so quiet generally as they are two hours later. And then, {if it were midmght, what of it? Mid- night. except to cowards, is no different from auy other hour, only as it isa great deal safer for those like us. Alone ina house? It tsa little shaky at times, but generally safe enou, bat that Isn't the w ®& house is generally worked. There should be two, and three are bette Terrible risks? We don’t think of it in that light. There is something always fasci nating in the risk, and it isn’t considered objec. nable. What do we think ? How do we feel? ow, look here, there isn’t much time nor occa- sion for thinking and feeling outside the job to be done. Your sentimental chaps don’t want to be prowling about nights on any of these delicate ‘rackets.’ The man who is going to stop in a bedroom of a strange house at 2 o'clock at night to consult his feelings had better keep out of that bedroom. The man who proposes to enter this profession wants to run slow on the thinking and feeling lines, especially when on duty.” “How does an operator feel when he is con- fronted by some inmate?” “In the first place, he feels that something must be done pretty d—d quick. Dodge ‘em if you can, but no fooling, anyhow. Do any- thing short of killing, if necessary. The wome are the hardest to manage, except a man who wake up cool and has his weapons handy. iat is the time that tries a man and puts him on his mettle.

Anoti®r “medium” has met expo time in San Francisco, and it is. the story. ynolds gay ing seances, and last August a faithful believer, named Militz, observed that the medinm’s hus- band, who sat immediately in tront of the eal net, was talking through an elastic tube witleh n down beneath his clothing, and Militz believed connected with the cabinet. That same evening Militz caught hold of one of the pro- sed ghosts, and found it was a manufactured dummy. Mrs Reynolds and some others got the dummy away from him, but he was so mad that he went out straightway and hired a lawyer to prosecute the woman on charze of obtaining money under false pretenses. Mrs. Rey whose maiden name was Elixa Dunbar, has a shadowy past behind her, tt is said. in Oregon, in Ohio’ and in Brooklyn, N. Y., having beer detected in. fraudulent ‘manifestations in ali se places, and the accounts of the latter two ng been published in the Religio-Philo- sophical Journal, of Chicago.

Parsons, a journalist lately removed from California to New York, who has published ina Philadelphia spiritual a letter denouncing Mrs Reynolds and deelarip sers, liter who died a year ago. But now Nellie Sinith, states that slie was the representative of Parson's daughter at Birs.

The frst hymn had been sung, the high-sounding and strictly rhetorical prayer had been made, and the audience was just settling itself to the business of singing the second pean of praise when there was a rustle of silk up the main aisle. Every neck was turned to see who came, and lo! it was the richest and most expensively dressed woman In the city. She was elegantly attired as usual—but had met with an accident unknown to herself. Glancing from the star- board corner of her eye as she reached down to open her pew door (second row of pews from the altar) she noticed a look, half of amusement and half of horror, on the faces of the ladies in an adjacent pew. Then casting a quick look upon herself, she discovered that she had lost her overskirt and that her “bustle” rode upon her hips, in full view and in all its hideous prominence. She sank into her seat “with a dull thud,” and there was at least one woman on earth that blessed Sabbath morning for whom religion held no consolation. —<———— Irving in Boston.

They pronounce him to be a great actor, honest, thorough consclentions and devoted, aman of remarkable talent, but not agenius. The thoroughness of his work is the most satisfactory feature of it. Seldom do we see such perfection of workmanship, such infi- nite care for details. He is justly called “the greatest master of stage effect that the modern theater hasever known.” In his acting his mannerisms are most marked, and his peculiar pronensiaton the greatest blemish. On his oston audiences he may well plume himself. They have been like those that Cable has attracted, and Matthew Arnold—the finest of Loston’s productions in the way of popular audiences. Cambridge has been as weil repre- sented as Boston in them.
