March 17, 1859.—Workmen under the direction of the public gardener are re- moving such trees on Pennsylvania ave- nue as have not flourished during the past season and are making ready to plant others in their places. There ap- pears to be some difficulty in securing the growth of young shade trees at cer- tain points along the Avenue, especially near the Center Market. in consequence of the carelessness of persons in tying horses and other animals to them. The friction of the leather straps, chains, etc., girdling the trees, cuts away the tender bark. Also the dripping of brine from the butchers’ tubs has a pernicious effect on the trees. 1t is hoped by those interested in im- proving the appearance of the city that & regard for tge attractiveness of Penn- sylvania avenue will induce the citizens of that part of the city, especially those directly interested, to stop this care- lessness, which is & violation of the la The Catholic Beneficial Total Al stinence Association of Washington held & big, double celebration today—of the anniversary of the organization and of sembly hall, on Louisiana avenue.

NARROW RIBBON EMBROIDERY IS DAINTY AND DIGNIFIED. Ribbon embroidery is again beginning to put in an appearance. There are two types of this work, one in which narrow ribbon is used for outlining as it it were floss, and the other in which the ribbon is wide and is used like silk | for filling in motifs. The wide ribbon motif is still of the past. It is the narrow ribbon stitchery that is re- appearing. This embroidery may or may not be combined with other stitch- ery. The wide ribbon work is seldom minus stitchery in some other medium. ‘The ribbon may be so very narrow that it can be threaded into a large size embroidery needle and be used for the actual stitches. These can be running stitches in which the top stitch is long and the under.one very small, indeed.| ‘The effect of one continuous unbroken line should be sought. this gives a spiral effect which is un- desirable. Sometimes the ribbon is couched | down instead of being used for the| stitchery itself. For this embroldery | fine sewing silk matching the color of the ribbon or its predomirating hue is | favored. The stitches should be small | 1and go straight across the ribbon. These ;smches hold the ribbon securely to the | |lines of a pattern being worked. Do | not sew through the ribbon, but across | |it. The thread should be at right angles | to the ribbon, It shows less thus, and | holds the ribbon down better than any other method. | Added beauty is given the needlework | when fancy ribbon is used. The ribbon | |may be shaded or have a fancy sel-| | vedge, or metal strands may be intro- | | duced into the weaving. One ribbon | | effectively employed had a yellow silk | |along one edge which gradually | changed to rose along the other. It is| FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE.

Projected His “Double” & GLASS. “THERE I8 C. LOOKING THROUGH THE CRACK OF THE DOOR.” William James reported the case of the Harvard professor who thought, per- haps witly reason, that he had succeeded in projecting his “double” to another person. For_certain reasons, the three per- sons figuring in the episode have been kept nameless. Prof. James, of course, knew them all and could have revealed their identitles. But he was bound in honor not to do so. We will place them here simply as A and B-and C. All we know is that A was a woman, C was the professor, B was some one closely related to A. Some will surmise that he may have been her husband. This suggests complications which we would be unwarranted even to imagine. But we can understand why A did not wish to be revealed publicly in connec- tion with the matter. C was an able professor at Harvard It is to be assumed that he was widely known. He was certainly, and with rea- son, highly respected. Certainly under no other circumstances would Willlam James, one of the most eminent of American psychologists, educators and writers, have credited his account of so startling a happening. Prof. C's experience took place al- most half a centuiy ago. At that time he and A were seeing each other rather frequently. They had many intellectual sympathies and both had been deeply interested in a book by Sinnett on Eso- teric Buddhism. ‘The subject of the existence of an astral body consumed a great deal of their conversations, But, according to C, no proposal was ever made that any ixperlmenh should bé attempted in that ine. One evening, about 10 o'clock, Prof. C was sitting alone in his room when his thoughts turned to his discussions with A. Suddenly he said to himself, “I believe I will try whether I can pro- "(“A my astral body to the presence of A" He did not at all know what process he must use for his purpose, but, acting intuitively. he opened his window, which looked toward A’s house, sat down in a chair, and tried as hard as he could ;A;k 'lfllh himself into the presence of his nd. A’s house was a half mile distant, with a hill intervening. Prof. C set in the dark and held his wish firmly for a matter of 10 minutes. He had no unusual feeling. He did not enter into a trance or do anything of that sort. The next day he encountered A. From his statement of what then happened we are to judge that he said nothing to her of his experiment, but that she in the dining room at supper with B. Suddenly I thought I saw you looking in through the crack of the door at the end of the room, toward which I was looking. I said to B: ‘There is C, looking through the crack of the door.’ B, whose back was toward the door, sald: ‘He can't be there; he would come right in’ However, I got up and looked in the outer room, but there was nobody there. Now, what were you doing last night at that time?” ‘The professor proceeded to relate what he had done. They were both astounded by what had happened. Did Prof. C. actually project his “double” to A? The testimony is not altogether adequate, because his story is unsupported. Yet though A was unwilling to give Prof. James her ver- sion of the incident, from what he says we are to assume that she admitted that she was a party to the experience. A conservative view to take would be that C established a telepathic con- nection, and that this evoked a mental image of him which was so powerful as to make her think she saw him through the door crack. ‘This in itself would be sufficiently remarkable.
