From many parts of New England this summer comes the news that the song birds seem to be more in evi- dence than they have been for many years. An old Rangely guide said re- cently that it was hardly within his recollection of the past twenty years that the birds had been so aboundant or of so many species as they.may be seen this year. In the want of any other reason to account for the wel- | come ‘change it seems fair to assume «that the’ New’ England lawws~ for the protection ' 6finsectivorous birds are’ beginning to have some effect. ws.

GHOSTS ARE VISIBLE. Some People So Constituted That They See Snpernatural Beings. There is no doubt that a person may apparently see objects and hear words which another person close by cannot see and hear. Such impressions are to be referred not to actually existing objects, but to the action of the sub- ject’s mind. Dr. Abercromby tells us of one patient who could, by directing nis attention to an idca, call up to sight the appropriate image or scene, though the thing called up were an object he had never seen but had mere- ly imagined. When meeting a friend in the street he could not be sure whether the appearance was his friend or a spectral illusion till he had tried to touch it and had heard the voice. Goethe saw an exact counterpart of himself advancing toward him, an ex- perience related by Wilkie Collins. Sir Walter Scott relates that soon after the death of Lord Byron he read an account of the deceased poet. -On step- ping into the hall immediately after he saw right before him, in a stand- ing posture, the exact representation of his departed friend, whose recollec- tion had been so strongly brought to his imagination. After stopping a mo- ment to note the extraordinary resem- blance he advanced toward it and the figure gradually disappeared. Some of the cases narrated by Sir David Brew- ster are particularly instructive. The subject was a lady (Mrs. A.) and her hallucinations were carefully studied by her husband and Sir David. On one occasion she saw her husband, as she thought, who had gone out half an hour before, standing within two feet of her in the drawing-room. She was astonished ta receive no response when she spoke to him. She remem- dered that Sir David had told her to press one eyeball with the finger when the impression of any real object would be doubled. She tried to apply the test, but the figure walked away and disappeared. The simple scfen- tific experiment diverted her attention from the creation of her mind, and this, no longer being in sole possession, could not maintain itself and was dis- solved, Another hallucination took the form of her dead sister-in-law. The figure appeared in a dress which Mrs. A. had never seen, but whitch had been described to her by a ‘ommon riend.—Westminster Review. AN IRISH JUDGE. Ballies of Wit from a Jurist with » Brogue. Lord Morris, always a wit and now a distinguished judge, comes from Gal- wey and has never lost the mellifluous tresue of West of Ireland folk. One day he was sitting at the Four Courts as Jord chicf justice of Ireland, when a young barrister from the north rose nervously to make his first motion, The judge had declared that no one lis- tening to himself would ever take him for anything but an Irishman, which was perfectly correct. But Galway could not understand Antrim. The lord chief justice leaned over to ask the associate where the barrister hailed from. ‘County Antrim,” was the response. Then asked his lordship of the official: “Did ye iver come across sich a frightful accint in the course of yer loifé?” At another time it fell to his lot to hear a case at Cole- raine, in which damages were claimed from a veterinary surgeon for having poisoned a valuable horse. The issue depended upon whether a certain num- ber of grains of a particular drug could be safely administered to the animal. The dispensary doctor proved that he had often given eight grains to a man, from which it was to be in- ferred that 12 for a horse was not ex- cessive. “Never mind yer eight grains, docthor,” said the judge. “We all know that some’poisons are cumulative in effect, and ye may go to the edge of ruin with impunity. But tell me this: The 12 grains—wouldn’t they kill the divil himself if he swallowed them?” The doctor was annoyed and pompcus- ly replied, “I don’t know, my lord; 1 never had him for a pa .” From the bench came the answer: “Ah, no, docther, ye nivir had, more’s the pity! The old bhoy’s still aloive.”—London Telegraph, \ Great Discovery in Surgery. Dr. J. B. Murphy, who has just re- turned to Chicago, Ill., from the tri- ennial meeting of the International Medical association in Paris, brings back a report of the discovery and demonstration by Dr. Tuffier of Frdnce of local anaesthesia in major and sur- gical operations. “Dr. Tuffler operated on four cases,” said Dr, Murphy. “Co- caine was injected into the region oc- cupied by the cerebo-spinal fluid in the spine, and anaesthelizing perfect- ly the entire body below the point of injection. This enabled him to per- form the most painful operations with- out the patient experiencing the least sensibility. The discovery is a won- derful one jn surgery, inasmuch as out of 130 cases operated upon by him he had no fatalities.

CEMOCRATS FAVOR SUBSIDY MEASURE. Petitions in Behalf of the Dill from | Many Large Commercial Associa-*) tlons—Great Change in Public Sen- timent Has Recently Been Wrought. {Special Correspondence.} Washington, D. C., Feb. 6, The south is rallying to the support of the shipping bill, This fact is likely to prove the pivotal feature of the struggle over the measure. During the debate on Wednesday last news reached the capitol | that the Savannah board of trade had unanimously adopted resolutions directing its delegates to the coming Brunswick Maritime conference to favor subsidies. Si- multapeously with the spread of this intelii- gence through the capitol, it was noticed as a singular coincidence that Senator Clay of Georgia rose and offered amendments to the bill, limiting the period of the subsidy to ten years, and confining it below a maximum of 16 knots’ speed, instead of 18, as it stands at present in the amended form of the bill. This, however, does not neces- sarily indicate a change of heart on the part of Senator Clay, who has been hereto- fore one of the strongest and most active and uncompromising opponents of the meas- ure. This is not the first gun from the south, by any means. Petitions in favor of the bill are on file from more than 20 large and important southern associations, eluding the New Orleans chamber of com- merece, board of trade and produce exchange, the Richmond chamber of commerce, the Norfoik board of trade, the Little Rock board of trade, the Alabama state grange, the Tarboro board of trade, the St. Louis merchants’ exchange and the Southern In- dustrial association and the Southern Cot- ton Spinners’ association. In fact, nearly every southern state has/furnished an em- phatic indorsement of the bill by its lead- ing commercial bod¥s. In view of this great and growing senti- ment in their own section, it is not surpris- ing that the solid opposition of the south- ern senators has begun to weaken, as it has, very perceptibly and decidedly. At first these senators—Messrs. Jones, Clay, Bacon and others—declared that they would fight the bill by every means within their power, and a disposition to filibuster was manifest early in the week; but the news which they have heard lately from their constituents appears to have altered their minds as to the advisability of filibustering. Their pres- ent disposition seems to be to deliver a cer- tain number of two-hours’ speeches in the aegative, and then to: let the republicans zo ahead and assume the full responsibility for the legislation. The alternative policy— involving fitibustering, the failure of all other measures, and an extra session in consequence—wouid be a very serious re- sponsibility for the democrats to shoulder, especially if not sustained by the citizens of the southern states. More than this, it has been ascertained that the shipping bill will receive the votes of a goodly number of democrats—at least six and probably seven or eight in the sen- ate, and ten or a dozen in the house. That the examination and discussion of the meas- ure have effected a great change in. public sentiment already is unquestionable, and the change is still going on and spreading. As soon as the bill passes the senate and gets over to the house it is practically sure to have plain sailing. Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, says that a rule will be reported whereby two days will be set apart for debate upon the meusure, and that at the end of that period a final vote will be ordered. In the house the rules of pro- cedure a‘low of such peremptory ciosure of cebate—in fact, without such closure noth- ing could be accomplished in such a large and unruty body as the house—but in the senate the liberty of dcbute is practically untrammeted. Thus it happens that it is much more diffieu!t to force or to hurry a measure through the senate than through the house. The recent extra session gossip has begun to subside very materially. The senators and representatives generally do not “see the point” of remaining here ali the spring to legislate about the Philippines, when the president, as they say, has ample power in the premises to do as he pleases. It is possi tion to this subject may be tacked on as 8 rider to some appropriation bill, and that congress may let it go at that for the pres- ent. has furnished another reason for an extra session, many congressmen are now) ques- tioning whether this country has any right to meddle with that instrument. The war was undertaken to free Cuba, and it was expressly and officially dec:ared by this government that we would assume no fur- ther control or supervision of the istand after its pacification. Many now assert tuat the pacification has been accomplished, and that the United States therefore, in reality and justice, has nothing to say or to do about the Cuban constitution. This idea has been canvassed in a lively manner in and about the capitol during the last day or two, and it appears to be becoming popular. The president is rapidly regaining his wonted health and strength, after neariy a month’s tussle with the grip. Other dis- tinguished victims of the distemper are also recovering, and the epidemic seems to have spent its force. This is fortunate for vari- ous reasons, but particularly so in view of the fast approaching inauguration cere- monies. There have been inaugurations amid blizzards and zero gales, but an in- auguration in the midst of a grip epidemie would be a dismal event indeed.

Wilhelmina, the yours queen of Hol- land, is very pretty, though her beauty threatens in future. years to run o2 somewhat massive lines. Her admiring subjects gaze at her, and then murmur to an acquiescent neighborhood, “Isn't she pretty?” The young queen has fine eyes, a clear complexion and a glorious tinge ef rose-pink in her cheeks. Then her hair is the rich brown that pain love, and there i3 plenty of it.

It was exaggerated and commented upon ail over Holland with an anxiety only abated by the dis- covery that the queen’s partner in the 1 dance had been aer uncle, her moth- er’s brothcr, the Prince of Waldeci:- !

Fun with Rabbernecks. In front of a five-story Main street block there was the usual crowd of passersby. A heavily loaded electric car was just coming along. Suddenly a man rushed out from a store in the block into the middle of the street. Gazing up to the top story, he cried out: “You'll fall, you will certainly fall.” Everybody in sight stepped and gazed into the air. Those who were on the wrong side of the electric car eiambered over to the right side to see their share. And there was noth- ing to see. No one was about to fall from the fifth floor; in fact, there was no one to be seen there.
