IT IS NEW IN AMERICA, BUT DATES

Mrs. Claude Falls 'erglrt Says She Was
.Married to Claude Five Thousand Years
Ago: and Cycles Before that, Mr.
Wright Asserts, They were Associated.
From the “looks of things” and the
unconscious confessions of glance and
blush, Mrs. Claude Falls Wright is well
contented to have renewed by the The-
osophic ceremony her previous matri-
monial ventures with her husband, for
she can scarcely be called a widow, yet
she is hardly as recent a bride as might
appear on the surface. Her husband is
a man with a past, but she knows what
it is. For the matter of that. she is
likewise gifted,‘and She will doubtless
receive leniently her husband's pos'sible
“errors of thought,” for no one can say
but that she may herself have had many
husbands since she first saw him.
“I doubtless met my husband in man:
previous incarnations,” Mrs. \Vrighi
admitted recently, with . a demure
glance at him as he sat opposite in their
common office at No. 144 Madison
avenue. “But our former marriage is
more clearly impressed on my memory
because the association in that cycle
was the same as in this. it was about
five thousand years ago when we were
formerly associated in this way. ”
“We have been associated in earlier
cycles, in ages before that,” Mr. Wright
interpolated, “but the association you
refer to happened to be one of mar»
riage.” '
“How are you able to fix the time of
the former association?” was asked.
“We cannot determine it exactly,"
was the reply. “We know about what
the cycle was by the similarity of cus:
toms, dress and manners.”
When asked for definite experience of
any former incarnation, Mr. Wright
said:
“That is one of the things of which it
is impossible to speak. To say definite-
ly what one’s experience has been. 1-.»
put one’s self on record in that way i=3 to
be regarded definitely as a crank; while
otherwise one is only indefini-wiy- so
considered!” and he smiled unilgrstand-
ingly across at his wife. .
With regard to the recognition 0
each other in the present cycle Mr.
Wright said:
“I have known since I was 4 years
old that my wife and me had met be-
fore, by the recurrence of her face in
dreams.”
His wife’s recollection was more
vague.
“I had known since a child,” she
said, “that I should marry a man who
came from over the sea. I had impres-
sions of my past and present life more
distinctly as a child.”
‘She admitted that she had passed
through varied incarnations since her
former marriage to Wright.
“I have no doubt,” she said, “that in
one of them I have been aman. The
soul is sexless, you know, and I believe
that we must see life from all stand-
points, in order to gain experience.
You have seen women who seem to
have an almost masculine comprehen-
sion of the life. Sometimes they are
woman suflragists, for instance. It im-
plies that in some recent incarnation
they have been men and have been used
to seeing the world through men’s eyes.
It is one of the provisions necessary to
reform. There are some women who
have essentially feminine qualities, the
gentle, timid, quiet ones, who have
been women for many cycles. The
Hindoo women, for example, who are
the ideal of femininity, have, doubtless.
been through many ages incorporated
in female bodies.” '
Mrs. Wright could not remember de-
finitely any of her experiences as a
man:
“The experiences of past incarnations
are best recognized by the result in the
present one.”
Mr. Wright and his wife referred
their statements to each other during
the conversation, by smiling glances.

tween a brother and sister who had

A Key to Japanese Art.
If a Japanese artist wishes to describe
in color and design the anticipation of
happiness he draws a picture that is a
combination of an April evening, a
moon, 3. nightingale, and a plum tree
or two. Victory is symbolized by the
iris; grace and quietness by the willow
tree, and the swallow for symbols. Pa-
triotism is sometimes indicated by a
spray of cherry blossoms; the almond
flower is the flower of spring, and sym-
bolizes beauty. The dragon twines and
writhes an artistic course through all
Japanese art, root and branch. His
name is Tatsn, and when you see him
pictured as fighting with a tiger it is the
symbol of religion fighting against
power. A dragon floating about in the
clouds means success in life; tori,‘ the
cock, perched, upon a drum, signifies
good government. Both the Greeks
and the Japs use the butterfly to sym-
bolize immortality. ~—— Boston Evening

i? THE SUMMER GIRL.
Some Suggestions for Inexpensive Hot
\Veather Garmcn ts.
Published by Special arrangement With the
New York Sun.
. Since outdoor sports have become the
ruling element of fashionable life in
summer, distinctive costumes suited to
their various and special needs take
front rank in the world of modes at this
season of the year, and the summer-girl
with a full-fledged outfit reigns. She is
the bright, particular star' around
which all the festivities revolve. Her
more serious sister may have all sorts
of exalted ideas of a. mind above clothes
and give herself up to the more elevat~
ing themes of life with all the zest of a
college-bred enthusiast during the win
ter, but if she appears at a fashionable
summer hotel without the required and
correct style of dress she will have to
invest herself with more moral courage
than the average woman possesses or
she will never walk the veranda with-
out a. surprisingly new appreciation of
her own imperfections.
It is not expense so much as it is
thought that produces the needed outfit
for a summer campaign, and the girl
with a. small dresszallowance can appear
quite as up to date as her more prosper-
«Us 1 #6131:
ous companions if she brings her mind
and good taste to bear on the subject.
The coat and skirt style of dress pre-
vails in all the plainer and some of the
dressy gowns. and with three or four
well-made costumes of this sort, a. vari-
ety of pretty waists and vests, and some
simple gowns for evening wear, she is
fairly equipped for the season. It is ap—
propriate costumes, not the number of
changes, which count to her advantage
in the well dressed side of fashion.
Many striking and effective contrasts
are wrought out with the variety in
vests, which transform the simple coat
into a very becoming costume. Grass
lawn vests are one of the novelties this
season, made of the very sheer quality
over silk and trimmed with colored
and corn embroideries and yellow lace:
White and black net and chiffon, with
cream lace applique, make pretty vests,
and then there are white tucked muslin,
trimmed with narrow Valenciennes
lace and fastened down the front with -
gold studs, and Persian taffeta. stlk
handkerchiefs, which add to the diver-
sity in this conspicuous article of dress.
CRYSTALS 0F THOUGHT-
The surest way to avoid breaking
promises is to make none.
If you do not live within your means
you may sooner or later have to live
without them.
Saving money is like rolling a snow-
ball downhill, the longer it rolls the

He who is in a hurry to be rich, gen

You can hide a deficit of wit by po-
liteness, but no amount of wit will con-
ceal a lack of politeness.

CAUSE or THE WAR.
GEN. GRANT ATTRIBUTED IT EN-
TIRELY TO SLAVERY.
The North Tolerated the Institution in the
South but “’onld Not be Forced to
Hunt and Return to Activity Runaway
Negroes. ’
Gen. Grant in his Memoirs, says, re-
garding the civil war:
The cause of the great War of the
Rebellion against the United States will
have to be attributed to slavery. For
some years before the war began it was”
a trite saying among some politicians
that “a State half slave and half free
cannot exist.” All must become slaves
“21' all free, or the State will go down. I
wok no part myself in any such view of
he case at the time, 'but since the war
.,- .over, reviewing the whole question, I
have come to the conclusion that the
saying is quite true.
Slavery was an institution that re.
quired unusual guarantees for its secur-
ity wherever it existed: and in a coun-
try like ours where the larger portion of
it was a free territory, inhabited by an
intelligent and well-to-do population,
the people would naturally have but
little sympathy with demands upon
them for its protection. Hence, the
people of the South were dependent up-
on helping control of the general gov-
ernment, and to secure the perpetuation
of their favorite institution. They were
enabled to maintain their control long
after the State where slavery existed
had ceased to have the controlling pow-
er, through the assistance they re-
ceived from odd men here and there
throughout the Northern States.

GENERAL GRANT.
They saw their power waning, and
this led them to encroach upon the pre-
rogative and independence of the
Northern States by enacting such laws
as the Fugitive Slave law. By this law
every» Northern man was obliged, when
properly summoned, to turn out and
help apprehend the runaway slave of a.
Southern man. Northern marshals be-
came slave catchers, and northern
courts had to contribute to the support
and protection of the institution.
This was a. degradation which the
North Would not permit any longer
than until they could get the power to
expunge such laws from the statute
books. Prior to the time of these en-
croachments, the great majority of the
people of the North had no particular
quarrel with slavery, so long as they
were not forced to have it themselves.
But they were not willing to play the
role of police for the South in the pro-
tection of this particular institution.
In the early days of the country, be-
fore we had railroads, telegraphs and
-steamboats—in a word, rapid transit of
any sort—the States were each almost a.
separate nationality. At that time the
subject of slavery caused but little or
no disturbance to the public mind. But
the country grew, rapid transit was es-
tablished, and trade and commerce be-
tween the States got to be so much
greater than before, that the power of
the National Government became more
felt and recognized. and therefore had
to he enlisted in the cause of this insti-
tution.

GENERAL LEE.
It is probably well that we had Ithe
war when we did. We are better off
now than we should have been without
it, and have made more rapid progress
than we otherwise should have made.
The civilized nations of Europe have
been stimulated into unusual activity.
so that commerce, trade, travel and
thorough acquaintance among people of
different nationalities, has become com-
mon, whereas, before it was but the
few who have ever had the privilege of
going beyond the limits of their own
country, or who knew anything about
other people. Then, too, our republi-
can institutions were regarded as exper-
iments up to the breaking out of the
rebellion, and monarchieal Europe gen-
erally believed that our republic was a
rape of sand that wouldpart the mo-
ment the slightest strain was brought
upon it. Now it has shown itself capa-
ble of dealing with one of the greatest
wars that was ever made, and our peo-
ple have proven themselves to be the
7 most formidable in war of any nation-
ality. But this war was a. fearful les-
son, and should teach us the necessity
of avoiding wars in the future.
And they who bore our banner,
And perished where it flew.
Shall with our peaceful glory
Share honor's, noblestjdue.

. WHAT IT MEANS.
Norwalk’ ls Learning It—Learnlmz It
Fast-Proof Not Lacking.
Everybody has it.
That Tired Feeling.
Don’t know whatit means.
Keeps you awake at night.
Destroys daily comfort.
Wearies the body. Worries the mind.
You‘ would shake it ofl‘.
You would be healthful and strong.
So you can.
If you go at it right.
First learn what it means.
Some say it’s had blood.
Others say it’s a lazy liver.
They’re all wrong.
Tired feeling means tired Kidneys.
Just as lame back means Lame Kld-
neys.
,. And backache means kidney ache.
l’How do we know it?
Because Doan’s Kidney Pills cure it.
And they are for kidneys only.
How can we prove it?
Because Norwalk‘ people say so.
Here is a case in point.
Mrs. White wife of A. C. White the
batter, address No. 47 River street.
Mr. White says, “My wife took Doan’s'
Kidney Pills.”
“l‘ook them for backache.”
“Found them just as represented.”
“Is much improved. ’_’
“Doan’s Kidney Pills did the work.”
“Got them at Hale’s drug store.”

standing the trouble, Doan’s Ointment
will not fail to give instant relief.
The Saddle
Question.
This is an illustration
of the old style saddle.
,1 If you will observe it
carefully you will note
that it fits like a glove
(and a saddle should
not). It presses the sen-
sitive parts, causes sore-
ness, stiffness and chaf-
ing, and has made cycl-
ing to a. certain extent
injurious, because few
could enjoy a long ride
without fear of injury.
All this is now changed. Here is repre-
sented the perfect saddle—the Christy
Anatomical Saddle, W / ' p _
