There is no doubt that a person may ®pparently see objects and hear words Which another person close by canne> see and hear. Such impress‘ons are to be’ referred not to actually existing objects, but to the action of the sub- Ject's mind. Dr. Abereromby tells us of one paticat who could, by directing his attention to an idea, call up te sight the appropriate image or scene, though the thing called up were any 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 representatien 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- rT 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 to receive no response eto him. © tered that Sir David had told press one eyeball with the fi hen tae impression of any real object wuid be doubled. She tried to apply the test, but the figure walked away and disappeared. The simple scien- tific experiment diverted her atteation from the creation of her mind, and this, no longer being in sole possession, could not maixtain 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 whch had been deseribed to her/hy a wemnon friend. —Westminster Review A Remarkable’ Tork. { the village of Bodra a Turk named Ismall, aged 120 years, is in such good wealth that he frequently walks to , Wartin, six miles distant, to sell eggs, for he is a poultry dealer, bad thrity-four wives, the whom he married recently. is 60 years h's junior, and the mar- riage was celebrsted with emnity, to the s¢ fifes and volleys of village was en fete,.

The climber also waded through patches of !upine, and put his feet among _, bluebells, Jacob’s-fadde iris, saxifraze, cassiopes and many others, The song birds that attracted our notice were the golden-crowned sparrow and the little hermit thrush?

He went into | | his seat, as has been said, on a contest | | that ended favorably to him. He went | out of it after an election on a contest that was decided against him. His po- sition in the House, and the manifer* | disadvantage of it to his constituents, led to repeated attempts by his friends to provide him with an interpreter upon the floor of the House, The first effort contemplated that this should he done at public expense. Later it was sought to provide that some one to in- terpret for him might be permitted merely to come within the doors of the legislative chamber. The first effort failed through a decision of the speak- er that the resolutign offered was not & privileged one. The other failed from the lack of a two-thirds vote in favor of suspending the rules to permit the’ introduction of a resolution.
