There is a stone elephant to Inyo county, California. The rook that has taken the form of an elephant is a dark gray granite that is almost the color of the skin of an elephant. The first trav elers in California, it is said, on catch ing sight of it, thought that they had found a petrified mastodon. A Piute Indian, on being asked if he had ever seen the "stone elephant," replied: “Yash, me see him many year go.

Interrupting him, a gentleman in one of the rear seats rose and said: “By the way, Mr, Chairman, if I may make a suggestion right here” “The gentleman's suggestion is a. very good one," said the keen chairman. “How do you know?” asked the gen tleman, a little miffed. “I haven't made it yet.” “Oh,” replied Mr. Haines, “I thought you said ‘buy the way,’ and 1 am sure that is the quickest and easiest means of obtaining a way to pass a bill.”—Wash ington Post.

Was Washington Irving Bishop really a mind reader, as he claimed to be, or was be a mere trickster? Here is a ques tion that is being asked and asked again without receiving a satisfactory answer. Drs. Janeway and Spitzka were confront ed with it by a Press reporter yesterday. This is how the former replied: “There is no such power as mind read ing possessed by anv of man. The success ful performance Bishop’s tricks was due to his extraordinary will power, which, when exercised over a man of weaker mind, caused his subject to do almost anything that Bishop wished. “His bank note trick was undoubtedly muscle reading, or, rather, muscle fol lowing, pure and simple. When ho took his subject’s hand in his to write down the number of a bank note he followed the line of least resistance In a subject who was simply passive, and the line of greater resistance in one w ho was on the alert to defeat his plans. This was palpa ble by his method of operation. “After writing the numbers once he would go over them again, sometimes backward, and often erase and change the figures until he was convinced by the involuntary action of the muscles of his subject that the figures, as inscribed on the blackboard, were correct." Dr. Spitzka met the reporter’s question in this way: “There is nothing Bishop ever did in public which had not been done before, and a great deal better, by Stuart Cumberland, the English mind reader—so called. The apparently inex plicable phenomena of mind reading has been written about and explained time and time again. It is nothing more nor less than following the unconscious vi brations of the nerves, and I know of no better way to illustrate what 1 mean than to quote the old lecture room explana tion. “To explain this subject to medical stu dents a drum head, made to revolve on wheels by turning a crank, was used. Over the surface of the drum head lamp black was lightly sprinkled, and a needle was arranged above the drum head just high enougli so that its point came in contact with the lampblack. The person selected for a subject was required to turn the crank and at the same time pe ruse a book. “The person so engaged was supposed to concentrate his entire, attention on the book, the act of turning the crank being purely automatic. This was necessary to insure the success of the experiment. "As the person turned the crank it was possible to ascertain by the little concentric curves described by the needle on the lampblack whether ho was inter ested in what he was reading or whetlier he was bored, and to just what degree he was interested or bored. The involun tary tremors of the nerves acting upon the muscles left their tell tale marks on the lampblack. “This is the foundation of what is popularly known as mind reading, but which is nothing more nor less than the following of the involuntary movements of the muscles by an extremely sensitive person. Bishop was above all things a close observer and a superlatively sensi tive man."—New York Press. inegar Injurious. It is the general belief that vinegar is wholesome and a necessary adjunct tc the diet of man. Occasionally, also, one hears of it being used daily in quite large quantities as a remedy for obesity. As a matter of fact, this acid might well he dispensed with altogether; and, certain ly, if used at all, it should be with cau tion. As for its being efficacious as 3 tlesh reducer, it is about as much so as typhoid lever or any severe disease, for it acts simply os a debiiitator, and im poverishes the system. Several cases of death from its usqh Rmall glassfuls daily are on record. \\vt lo good vinegar is not rightly likely to d > any harm, and when used it seems lo favor the diges tion of certain foods. But, without doubt, as it is generally used it does much more harm than gisni, and lemon juice would be far better, Even a moderately excessive use of vinegar causes intestinal irregularity, which may show itself by either constipation or diarrhoea, also fiat ulency, etc. One writer considers it ca pable of inducing cough, Hushing of the head and watery eyes. When used verj intcinperatoly, it produces blood changes, which may become immediately danger ous: if not so, the decline in health i« but certain. Besides using vinegar with caution, that used should be selected with exceeding care. Vinegar made from apples is very good, but not so good as tha t raade frotD ^pes. The latter is rather 1 more expensive, but the chances are it will eventually be sold as cheap. an< l largely displace cider vinegar.—Bus ^° n Uerald. "w a a i wiiaB wamw i iCTin i iTi's izi Yoi. l. *©. an Pries One Dollar st,*r Washington letter (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington D. C. Jan. 17, 1890, The death of Walker Blaine is the first death of any prominent person in Wash ington from ' la grippe.” On Thursday, less than a week before his death, Mr. Blaine attended the reception to Mrs. Gen. Grant, wherehe contracted the cold which prostrate 1 him. From the first the symptom* were chills and pains through out the body. Daath was very unexpected.’ Walker Blaine was thirty-five years of age and unmarried. Few young men have had bo many opportunities in pub lic life. lie was literally brought up in luxurious public positions. He was third Secretary of State when bis father was in President Garfield's cabinet. While thus employed he was sent to Chilli ami Peru to inquire into the disputed rights, of American citizens there. He was re called by President Arthur. In 1888 to 1889 Walker Blaine was out of office, and was employed as a railroad attorney, with little to do and plenty of assistants to do it for him. Within two weeks after President Harisons* inauguration Blaine was nominated examiner of claims in the State department, which made him the confidential vepreantutive of the Secretary. Senator Farwell’s ire is still up aginst the administration. That he in only pre vented from making an open and bitter attack upon President Harrison by the constant persuasion of his friends, is no secret. Ho is full of fight, and longing for an opportunity. The corridors in the census office and the Superintendent’s and chief clerk’s are a beduun these days. One could pick up a respectable quorum of the House of Representatives almost any day hanging about to see Superintendent Porter about pulling some constitutenfc on the rolls. Hundreds of applicants are present for themselves’ willing to take any position no matter how small but determined to gel something. There areall sorts of people. Bright eyed young gills, knowing young men, awkward' country buys blear eyed young men and frowzy old women. Some look imperti nent others disconsolat, others desperate® others sullen. The clerk who woiked on the last census is a common figure. The men of this class are mostly of the blear eyed order. They arc the mystoti ous lower class majors who hang about hotel lobbies, from esnsus to c< nsus it would seem, and upon whom time leaves no impression save to make clothes already shabby a trille shabbier. They all "know Porter" an.i speak in af~ feCtinnate confidence of what lie has as sured them shall be done for them. They all claim to be experts and feci that the success of the next census depends large ly upon whether or not they ate employ ed. The Senate Committee on Naval Af faiirs hel 1 a special session this week to Lear the views of the naval board of pol icy ; ppointed last summer by Secretary Tracv. to formulate and report a scheme for the improvement of the navy to the general standard of that of a first class power. Commodore McCann, president of the board, Captain Simpson and Naval Constructor Gatewood did most of the talking. Tin y *; p;.rov->d m general terms the bill .introduced by Sen ator Hale which authorized the Presi dent to have constructed eight battle ships of from 7,000 to 10,000 tons each Red five first class improved torpedo ooiits. The bill further apprcpxia.es •?'».000,000 for construction and ljU.OoO.OOO ■Vr armament, which latter sum it is ex pected would provide a most elaborate tnd powcrftd gunnery.
