TRICKS OF MIND READING
Writing of Questions and Reading
Them by the Performer Through
Prearrangement, Puzzling.
In ancient times the sleight-of-hand
performers were popularly regarded
with awe, as being.s who were gifted
with supernaturai powers; and the
performers, to enhance their own
portance, took care not to contradict
the general belief.
Nowadays we know quite well
enough that all feats of legerdemain,
liowever wonderful they may appear,
are quite natural, If we only knew
how they were done, observes a writer.
One of the puzzling tricks performed
by so-called public mind readers,
clairvoyants, is an extremely simple
deception. The performer, standing
on the stage, asks several persons In
the audience to write each a sentence
on a slip of paper and seal it in an
envelope.
Of cour.se the stationery is furnished
and afterward collected. One of the
audience Is a confederate, and writes
a sentence agreed upon beforehand.
When the assistant goes through the
house gathering up the envelopes, the
confederate’s contribution is carefully
put wehre it will be the, last one of the
lot to be taken up.
The performer picks out an enve
lope, and, after feeling it, with much
ceremony, pronounces the sentence
agreed upon, and the confederate in
the audience acknowledge.? that he
wrote it.
^ To confirm this, the performer tears
open the envelope and repeats the sen
tence as though he found It on the In
closed paper, which Is In reality an
other man’s sentence, which he reads,
and then, iiocUing up another envelope
and fumbling It over, he culls out the
sentence he has Just read.
The one wiio wrote It says It Is right,
the pei'fonner tears open the envelope,
reads what l.s In it, and proceeds in
that way through the lot.

Ancient Cathedral Is Saved.
An ancient cathedral in Havana,;

The proposed sale of the historic Co
lumbus Cathedral by the ecclesiastical '
authorities, and Its consequent destruc

edifice, which was built In 1704, and to
which in the next year the ashes of
Christopher Columbus were removed
from Santo Domingo, will probably
soon pass I *to the owner.shlp of the,
Cuban govc-rnment as a permanent na-
tioned monument. Though the ashes

The Red Cross Is not, as is popu
larly supposed, an organization of

can’t even smell medical odors around
the building. The Red Cross is an

making, is done by the national organization,
from headquarters.
Much of the work of this organization has been the discovery of efficient
means of comforting those who are in the war. Bright minds and expert
minds have been set at work. Their ideas have varied from the plan which
backed the popular campaign of cigarettes for the soldiers to the plan which
sent a traveling shower bath all over Fronde to bathe the peasants.
Not the least of the duties of the Red Cross have been the raising of
finances. It will take millions and millions of publicly contributed money to
beep the boys "over there” happy and comfortable. The Red Cross has es
tablished a great money-soliciting machine. Through this, organization the
moneys contributed are diverted in those channels wherjthey will do the
most good. Hard-headed business men, unswerved by seiKinent, direct the
finances of this organization. T

Dr. Harry A. Garfield, fuel administrator, erstwhile college professor, has
built a war machine which would make a fine nesting place for the doves of
peace. It Is the most restful and peaceful of the many war-making estiib-
llshments in Wasliington. The hustle and hustle of other departments and
bureaus is absolutely lacking in the fuel administration. v
Perhaps it 1? the peaceful atmo.sphere of Williams college that has been
transferred to Washington with Doctor Garfield, hut at any rate he has made
a noiseless war engine.
The fuel adralnistratlou is the baby member of the war family in Wash
ington, As an organization It Is also the smallest of the war organizations.
Less than 100 people are employed by this important body, which supplies
the fuel for the nation.
This is virtually a one-man war machine. Doctor Garfield has not been
surrounded with a large staff of experts. He has three assistants, all experts
in their own line. Outside of these men the fuel administration is operated
by clerks who work at the direction of Doctor Garfield and his assistants.
The clerical staff is not large. There Is no publicity organization and the
machine does not require large appropriation for its use.
It is generally understood, however, that the hand at the lever of this
machine is the same hand that runs the biggest war machine of all, the
A GREAT DISCOVERY
(By J. H. Watson, M. D.)
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due

disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood Is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set

As a remedy for those easily recognized
symptoms of inflammation caused by uric

Most of us are not displeased. The
city has a new beauty, an added at
tractiveness. There Is a rush, a roar,
a crowding and a jamming to which
we are not accustomed. But we are
taking to it like ducks that know they
are in their own stream, and unless
our stream is so swollen that we are
washed away in the flood until we lose ourselves, we will remain pleased, no
doubt. Nobody before ever saw so many strange dogs In Washington, for
one thing. There was a great dane on F street the other afternoon as big as
an ox. that took up the whole back .seat of an automobile. I saw a Chinese
ebow with a coat like silk and eyes as bright ns stars.
Those dogs came here with their masters, who came on the tide of war
to the national capital.
I had a friend from Indiana with me the ntbor day, He was one of these
newcomers. He had admired the public buildings, looked at all the soldiers,
walked both np and down in the monnraent, snorted from Arlington to Rock
Creek park in an automobile at so much an hour, and done a few other things
like that.
At last he stood on F street to watch the afternoon promenade.
It was there he spoke from his heart. Hoosler praise cun go no further.
“Why, it's Just like Terre Haute!” he said.
Five Generations in Wars.
Five generations of one family have
served in the United States wars, the
chain being completed by the recent
enlistment at Los Angeles of a young
man named Bennett. Not only did his
two grnndfathers, Bennett and Brook-
over, serve in the Civil war, but his
great-grandfather, Daniel Bennett, was
also a veteran of that war. The young
man’s great-great-grandfather, Asa
Bennett, was In the war of 1812. and
Ills two great-great-great-grandfnthers,
Bennett and Harris, were In the R(w-
olutlonary war. Although not In direct
line of ancestry, young Bennett’s un
cle, Harry Bror)kover, represented the
family in the Spanish-American war.
