Life-Preserving Chair.

U fact that the life-preservers provided§ for the use of the passengers are us ually placed in some inaccessible po sition where they cannot be obtained quickly by the excited persons. This is especially true on the usually crowded excursion steamers that ply between coast resorts. Instances are known where many lives would have undoubtedly been saved if each pas senger had had at hand a life-preserv er at the time of the accident. It is manifestly inconvenient for each pas senhger to carry a life-preserver. Real izing the above conditions, a New York man has designed and patented a combined steamer chair and life preserver, shown here. The steamer chair is in all practical respects simi lar to the ordinary camp stool, but it is constructed to serve as a life-pre server as well. The party using the chair will have always at hand a buoyant support in the event that it is necessary to thrust himself in the water. The chair is light and can be folded and readily carried frqm place to place, while as a life-preserver it is always at hand for use whenever the emergency requires.—Washing ton Star.

If thus equipped he need never worry whether or not he will find all the available hooks in the res taurant occupied when he goes to dine. This novel folding pocket coat and hat hook is shown in the accom panying illustration. When not in use it can be quickly folded up and carried in the pocket, without incon venience to the owner. When emér ‘gency demands it can be as readily brought into commission and attached ‘to the molding or wall or any other ) convenient object close to the owner. In addition, being a private hook, the owner is saved the nuisance of having half a dozen other patrons of the establishment piling their hats and coats on top of his.—Washington Star.

What is a presentiment im distinction from similar modes of perception ? Are nresentiments of frequent occurrence, and are there some authentic cases of fulfilled presentiments? Why are there no presentiments of good as well as of evil? Is it possible, with any known principle of the human mindy to offer any satisfactory explanation of thiqii!iysteriuus phenomenon? From the New York Tribune A presentiment (from the, K Latin} praesentire, feel or perceive hefipm‘ hand) in the broadest sense ig a di- | rect, though vague, perception of a future event or a feeling which seems to be such a perception. Spectfically, it is an antecedent impression or con viction, produced instinctively -and without any known cause, of some thing about to happen. Though pre sentiments of good are common and often fulfilled, as their results are not tragical they are seldom remem bered or confounded with hope, and for this reason the word presenti ment is confined almost exclusively to the anticipation of impending evil, and is practically the equivalent of foreboding. Dreams often afford similar materials for erroneous reas onings, but as they originate in the mind, they are sometimes so si:%:&gr to presentiments that it is impossible to decide whether a presentiment caused the dream or the dream the presentiment. Lk Novelists, poets, and even histori ans, have so often told us of present iments, have so often attributed them to their real or fictitious personages, that we have come to regard this sert of obscure vision of the future as a common and natural phenomenon. The historian tells us of Captain So and-So, who, overwhelmed on the eve of battle with the fatal -presentm@ggt that he should, not survive the com bat, actually met his death; the nov elist attributes to his heroine the pre sentiment of a catastrophe impend ing over her soldier lover, whichirha.'- pens in realization of her gmg_;g)y forebodings, and they speak of these things as constantly recurring, well established facts of which there are numerous examples that could not well be disputed. Even animals are said to be gifted with a presentl;%@t of danger. Thus, according to Buf fon, birds of passage have been ob served to stay away from their. nests at the approach of an earthquake; according to Raynal, dogs by contin ual long howling. manifested thelr presentiment of an approaching: earthquake, and it is a generally pre vailing belief that rats will, a few days hefore the occurrence, leave a house that is about to fall down or a ship that is about to sink. & But, while in animals this phe nomenon admits of an explanatio: by the assumption of instinet, which seems to be given them by nat,m"gi,_ or their preservation, this convenient apology for our ignorance fi_:a_; rt be Badety ey -. ~man, becd \dnde "*fifl"”gx""é’é’s”b“n, ‘3’3‘36*@"o nstinet,’ for' his guide. Yet it has been contend ed, and by persons of no mean under standing, that fatal presentimentsare conveyed to the mind by means, if not supernatural, at all events mys terious and wonderful, and numerous ezamples, as we shall presently see, have been adduced in proof of the certainty of the warning, as well as of its mysterious occurrence. Plutarch, in his tragic account of Julius Caesar’s assassination, men tions the foreboding dream of Cae sar’'s wife, Calpurnia, in the night preceding the fatal event. In her dream she first saw blood flowing from her husband's statue, and then she dreamed °"that the roof of her house was falling down and that Cae sar, his body all covered with blood, expired in her arms. Terrified by these dreams she related them to Caesar, imploring him not to go out on that day. Caesar, however, laughed at her fears, went to the Sen ate, and was stabbed to death by his assassins, It is related that not only did Henry IV himself have a present iment of his death, but also Maria de Medicis was forewarned in a dream of the danger threatening the king. One night she started from her sleep with a shriek and her eyes bathed in tears.~ Asked by Henry IV for the cause ol her terror, she replied, “I dreamed you were murdered!” ' To remove her fears the king said smil ing: ‘“‘Fortunately, dreams, accord ing to the saying, are but fumes of the stomach.” A few days later the dagger of a fanatic robbed France of the best of her kings, It must, how ever, be added that to-day the queen is much suspected of having plotted with d’Epernon the king's assassina tion, or at least of having had some knowledge of the plot; her vague terror, therefore, only expressed her own part in the matter, Mozart’s premonition of his death is even more wonderful. A stranger having called on him to order a requiem, he at once felt the presentiment that this requiem was destined to serve for his own funeral, contracted an incurable disease and died immedi ately after composing it. President Lincoln, as is well known, had a pre sentiment of impending death, As numerous, mostly amplified, versions exist of this incident, we give it here as published by Gideon Welles in an article printed in The Galaxy for April, 1872: “In the last cabinet:| meeting in the Executive Mansion of | Friday, April 14, which was also at- | tended by Mr. Welles, General Grant | expressed his anxiety as to the news! from Sherman. The President re-] marked that the news would come ! soon and come favorably, he had no! doubt, for he had last night his usual dream which had preceded nearly ev ery event of the war. Welles in-i quired the particulars of this remavk- : able dream. The President said it was in Welles' department—it relat ed to water; that he seemed to be in a sipgular and indescribable vessel, but always the same, and that he was moving with great rapidity toward a dark and indefinite shore; that he had had this singular dream preced ing the firing on Sumter, the battles of Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, Stone River, Vicksburg, etc. General Grant answered with some emphasis and asperity that Stone River was no victory—that a few such victories would have ruined the country, and he knew of no important results from it. The President said that per haps he should not altogether agree with him, but whatever might be the facts his singular dream preceded that fight. Victory did not always follow the dream, but the event and results were very important. Great events did indeed follow, Within a few hours the man who narrated his dream was assassinated, and the ‘murder which closed forever his earthly career affected for years, and, perhaps forever, the welfare of the i’ country. . In this example it is not difficult to account for the modus operandi of the presentiment. From the very be ginning of his Presidency Mr. Lin coln had been constantly subjected to the threats of his enemies and the lwarnings of his friends. The threats came in every form; his mail was in fested with brutal and vulgar men "aces, most anonymous. The warn ings were not less numerous. He knew, indeed, tiat incitements to murder him were not uncommon. What wonder, then, that his dreams should be haunted by gloomy pic tures, generally interpreted as fore bodings of death. There are also presentiments of good, but we hear less of them, be cause, as a rule; they are disappoint ed. The reader will find no difficulty to charge the memory with abundant ‘proofs of the prevalence but also the unreliability of such presentiments. | Who has not some time in hig life felt, without any -apparent cause, arise in his heart a hope bordering on conviction of getting rich by one ‘of those sudden fortunes that aston ish the world, or of obtaining the po sition craved for, or having his salary raised by his employer, or similar foolish hopes, to be doomed to disap pointment? To give only one histor ical example of a good though unful filled presentiment: The great Tu enne exclaimed: “I do not mean to be killed to-day,” but a few moments ‘afterward he was struck down by a cannon ball. ~ Supposing, then the occurrence of presentiments be firmly established and the cases as adduced by the au thors proven beyond doubt, we can still discount by a good deal the part played by divination and the super ‘natural in the phemomenon. Thus, ‘with regard to the extraordinary ‘tales told of presentiments on the eve ‘of battle, it is not wonderful at all that soldiers and sailors, proverbially superstitious, should sometimes in moments of depression conclude that they would die in the next battle, and that wunder the given circum stances their presentiment should sometimes also happen to come true. Nor does the explanation of numer ous other fatal presentiments require the intervention of some so far un discovered mysterious power and fac ulty: of the mind. The human mind is a strange machine, and when ex cited by intense anxiety and wound up to its highest pitch by despair or fear it is no hard matter to conjure up those ‘signs and tokens” which are now considered as syre and fatal prognostications of the worst human calamities. In such a state the or dering of a _requiem by a stranger may easily become to a Mozart an omen of sufficient magnitude to cause his dissolution, And as evil over takes the majority of mankind, such general forebodings are pretty cer tain of fulfilment., And it may also bg urged that a person thus fatally possessed may bhecome so careless of exifence as thereby to insure his de struction, However this be, the divination ofg future events, in one's own or anoth er's life, that makes some presenti ments so remarkable is ultimately nothing but the result of instinctive reagsoning applied to probable events, a dedluctlon drawn from known facts, from™ the motives to be feared or hoped for. Some temperaments, es- ‘ pecially among women, are capable ‘ of discerning the slightest indications that would pass unnoticed by others. Thus, in a great number of cases the presentiment is but a foresight based upon a nice intuition of the circum stances; what is taken for an internal volce is but a well done calculation. The other cases must be ranged among the superstitions, The great est calamities which have befallen mogt persons have come without any warning whatever, etcept such as could be inferred from existing situa tions, All mankind has had to rely ' upon experience, foresight and guid ance by ordinary sagacity. The oc casional fulfilment of dreams, pre monitions, visions and so-calied inner volces are at best coincidences, and the only inner voice which, when foi lowed, will aiways lead us right ig—- the voice of reason, B IR OO 2 New York City.—Every style of blouse that gives the continuous linel over the shoulders is in vogue and a m : P G begest L B 3%' -, % i /,Jg- ‘Gpi \@{:" 3 S 2 ) 7 s 1% R N y 3 e LT e 8 W ?\.jg g) S 5 A J?i%‘ TERR o 2 AT, 009 B!
