Free Trader Cleveland.
The anglo-mugwump press is
gradually dropping the term "tariff
reform" and using the honest and
flatfooted wo ds, "free trade." The
Evening Post quoles w it ri approval
the fact that French free traders
have adopted a resolution offering
their congratulations, "in the per
son of the eminent ex-President
Cleveland, to the free traders of the
United States." That is, they recog
nize Cleveland as the head of the
free trade party of the United butes.
And such he undoubtedly is. New
York Press.
AS OUR NEIGHBORS SEE US.
We also expect to see a democrat
ic victory in 1892, but so much the
better for the liberal programme of
reciprocity. 1 he democrats are tne
free traders of the U nitea states, ana
they will go in for no sham recipro
city. There will be no reciprocity
short of absolute free trade between
the two countries. Halifax Chronicle.
There are two statements here
made, as our readers will observe:
(1) that the democrats of the United
States are free traders, and (2) that
the democrats will not agxee to any
thing in the shape of reciprocity
with Canada "short of absolute
free trade between the two coun
tries. Halifax Mail.
TWO BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRLS.

Who Will Create a. Furore in
port This Summer.
Newport is to have a sensation
this summer.
It is authentically stated that the
beautiful and celebrated daughters
of Lord Dufferin, Beatrice and Ade
laide, are to grace this famous re
sort with their presence this coming
season.
It will be remembered that Be
atrice's beautiful dark ej-es have
played havoc lately with the heart
of Albert, the eldest son of the
Prince of Wales. What it will
amount to is as yet a master of con
jecture in England. lhe young
ladies are acknowledged to be the
most beautiful in all Lurope, and
there will be not a little excitement
in the hearts of our American
belles over their coming. They are
exquisite dressers, and their cos
tumes will be marvels of curiositj-;
Unlike most ladies, they know ex
actly what is suited to them. Some
ime ago they sent for the chief de
signer or tiie I'aris nouse ot ine
New York and Paris Young Ladies'
Fashion Bazar, and selected forty I
costumes each, the cost of which
will amount to thousands of pounds.
Through the courtesy of these
young ladies we nave oeen per
mitted to copy for The New York
and Paris Young Ladies' Fashion
Bazar two of their most exquisite
costumes, which appear as figures
3 and 4 o'n the colored plates of the
une number of this magazine, just
out, and for which the publisher
has issued, in the name of the Amer
ican ladies, a card of thanks. It is
rumored that the prince may follow !
Dr. Gatrliell Explain How Stuart Cum-l-rl:inl
ami Washington Ti-viif Itlsliop
I'erforiiM'd Their Surpriiii Feats The
Scientific Kxplitiiutloii.
The credulity of the American people
has often been imposed upon. The
Loclcu "Moon Hoax" and tho Cardiil
ginnt have been followed by th modern
"mind reader," who claims for himself
powers of divination excelling anything
that has Ix.-en known since the time of
Christ. Mind reading, in the sense in
which the word is used by those who
pretend to possess the alleged power,
may be defined as the transference of a
thought that is, a mental conception.
or an idea from the mind of one person
to the mind of another, without the use
of the known mediums of communica
tion, which consist of the nerves of gen
eral sensation and those of special sense.
JUina readers claim that tins teat is
possible. In opposition to such claims,
I submit that profane history contains
no trustworthy account of its accom
plishment. It never will be brought
about so long as man remains constituted
as he is at present. It is opjosed to the
principles of evolution and to all known
facts of physiology. Notwithstanding
all that may be adduced to the contrary,
many believe that mind reading is one of
the possibilities, even if it is not one of
the actualities of life. But the belief,
in every instance, is founded either on
insufficient evidence or on faulty ob
servation, or on a disposition to mistake
the marvelous for the miraculous.
Many accounts of alleged mind read
ing are purely fictitious. Others are ex
aggerations of trivial incidents or misin
terpretations of observed phenomena.
Others still are accounts of muscle read
ing. Those cases that do not belong to
the classes named are accomplished by
trickery.
NOT EVEN IS HYPNOTISM.
If there were any conditions under
which thought transference might occur
they would seem to be supplied by hyp
notism. In the hypnotic etate the mind
of one person exerts over the mind of an
other an influence that surpasses any
thing with which we are acquainted
under ordinary conditions. But the im
possible cannot be accomplished even by
the aid of hypnotism.
It must be born in mind that in the
hypnotic state one's senses are intensely
acute. That which ordinarily escapes
the attention of the most careful observer
is quickly detected by the sharpened
senses of the hypnotist. It is impossible
to make a motion that he does not sea
and interpret accurately. Thus, by virtue
of his sharpened faculties, the hypnotist
win sometimes divine, tliougn lie can
not "read" the thought of another.
Of modern mind readers the late Wash
ington Irving Bishop was the best known
in this country. Mr. Bishop was at the
same time an expert musjle reader and a
clever trickster, ills most famous feat,
the one from which he gained the great
est notoriety and eclat, was that of driv
ing a team of horses, while he was os
tensibly blindfolded, at break neck speed
by a circuitous route through crowded
streets and finding at a distant point an
object or a name in a book, previously
selected by a committee.
For the amusement of my friends
have several times performed this seem
ingly impossible feat, and in no instance
have my methods been detected. Its sue
cessiui accomplishment depends upon
two things the fact that one who is ap
parently blindfolded can see distinctly
all the time, and the fact that the mem
bers of his committee are betrayed into
becoming his unwitting accomplices.
HARDLY KNOW THEMSELVES.
The testimony of all muscle readers,
especially during their first attempts.
has been that they do not know what
their methods are. Early success is a
self surprise. It creates the impression
that one is possessed of a weird power.
This was my own experience. But, after
repeated experiment and close observa
tion, I am convinced that the facts ad
mit of rational explanation.
Primarily the results are all due to a
single cause, but several different con
ditions enter into their execution. In
making his way to the location of a hid
den object the subject usually does not
lead the muscle reader, but the muscle
reader leads the subject. That is to say,
so long as the muscle reader moves in
the right direction the subject gives no
indication, but passively moves with
him. The muscle reader perceives noth
ing unusual. But, the subject's mind
being intently fixed on a certain course,
the instant that the muscle reader de
viates from that course there is a slight,
involuntary tremor, or muscular thrill,
on the part of the subject, due to the sud
den interruption of his previous state of
mental tension.
The muscle reader almost unconscious
ly takes note of the delicate signal and
alters his course to the proper one, again
leading his willing subject. In a word,
he follows the lines of least resistance.
In other cases the conditions are reversed
the subject unwittingly leads the prin-

and his mind is so intently fixed upon the
object of his search that he is oblivious of
everything save the attempt to find it.
Subjects have led me in this manner,
and I have seen professional mind read
ers enjoying a like beneht. Again I
have had subjects who would give pat
ent assistance at intervals and at other
times leave me to my own resources. It
must be said that this method of muscle
reading is exceptional, the usual one is
that first described. Dr. Gatchell in
