Tre See Supernatural Beings. There is no doubt that a person may apparently see objects and hear words which another person close by cane see’ aad hear. Such impressions are to be referred not to actually existin objects, but to the action of the sub- ject's mind.

The manzger lost his tem- per, and expressed his disappointment somewkat harshly in the presence of the actress. Mile.

The question asked by the examining commission was: “How many miles to the moon?” Pat, a lusty son of old: Erin, whose right to a place on the force had never before been disputed, answered: “I don’t know how many miles it is, but I know that it is far enough away to be outside my beat, even when it’s full.” and 490% Leroes ar¢ KnOWN Im cearen whether their pictures appear in the papers of earta or nat.

The office of Secretary of State was the one first created, in July, 1780.

These five of- fices constituted the. ‘original Cabinet,” from the members.of which the Pres:- dent was autuczized, under section 2 uf article 2 of tae Constitution, to “re- uire the opinion in writing of the principal officer im each of the execu- tive departzients upon any subject re- lating tothe Wutics of their respective offices.” Such was the historical origin of the Cabinet.

One of-ihe most conspicuous features of a recent entertainment at the Play- ers’ Club was a pyramid of lobsters in the grillroom awaiting the time when | the fiow of soul should give way to appetite. It was a beautiful pvramid and not a single lobster was under the prescribed length. The dignity of the occasion was equaled by its sciemnity, and every one was talking when an actor who happens to be a member came in. He was slightly exhilarated, but after listening to the conversation a few minutes he became sober. Sud- denly he saw the pyramid of lobsters, He grabbed the arm of a guest, led him Into the grillroom! and said sol- emnly: “Here is where the house of bishops lunched once.” “Indeed?” “Yes. How would you like to meet a | stack of our charter members?” “Delighted, I’m sure.” Taking the guest to the table where the lobsters were piled the actor in- troduced him to them very formally. He devoted his attention during the rest of the evening to introducing as many people as he coulda persuade to go into the griliroom to the pile of lobsters. His exhilaration returned by the usual process, and even such of the charter members as were present admitted that the evening developed fa a lively fashion.—New Yors Sun. Blessing the River Nowa. If the present moderate weather com tinues in Russia the ice in the River Neva will soon break up, and there- upon will occur the blessing of the river, an annual event of national im- portance to Russia. z On the day when the river first winter bonds, the solemn ceremony of blessing the waters is performed by. the high-dignitaries .of — the: Greg; Ohurch, in the \presence of the Czar. The egremony takes place at St. Peters- burg, opposite ‘the Winter Talace of the Czar, in a pavilion decorated witb sacred pictures. On the pavilion platform are as- sembled the high officials of state, and below the steps; in two lines facing each other, appear the Russian priests | in their splendid vestments. The average number of days dur- ing which navigation is possible is 218, the least 172, and the greatest 279. Recently ice breaking vessels have been introdyced. Canfornia a Land of Contrasts. Ca:uurnia is indisputab_y a land of soutrasts. It has fertile lands and the ocean in the west and the desert in the east, the region of eternal summe: is found in the south and a land of rugged winter in the north; it has plains devoid .of vegetation and its sroves of “‘big’ trees, the largest in she world; also, there is to be found in the state some of the finest scen- ery in the world and some of the mos desolate of landscapes, Then, too, in che matter of elevation, which has a decided influence upon conditions of temperature, altitudes vary from a point 400 feet ‘below, the level of the vea, in Déath.
