GHOST SENSATIONC‘.

A PHYSICIAN WHO DIED AND THEN
CAME TO LIFE AGAIN. ,

Features of the Spook State as He Tun
scribed His Experiences—The 011‘. 110.13
Seen From the Viewpoint of the.

"Speaking of strange experiences."
said the professor as the party sat.
chatting over their after dinner cigars.
“if you care to hear it, I will tell you
how it seems to die. My uncle, Dr. J.
S. Long, one of the prominent physi-
clans of St. Louis, told me years ago.
This inCident happened~ to one Ila.
Warren, a physician of Columbus. 0..
about twenty years ago. I will git:-

» you the facts as they were related In

 

me by one of the members of the Soci-
ety for Psychical Research. Dr. Wu 1'-
ren, when in full possession of his fac-
ulties, appeared to come to the mo-
ment of death in the last stage of ty-
phus fever. Before the final lapse into
unconsciousness he discussed with his
friends the question of immortality.
His voice failed and his strength
weakened, and, as a last effort, he
stiffened his legs. He lay for hours
as dead, the church bells being rung
for his death. A needle was thrust
into various parts of his body from the
feet to the hips without having any
effect. He was pulseless for a long
time and for nearly half an hour he
appeared absolutely dead. While his
body was lying in this deathlike trance
his soul was disengaging itself from
its earthly tabernacle This is the ac—
count he gave of his sensations:

“ ‘I woke up out of unconsciousness
into a state of conscious existence and
discovered that the soul was in the
body, but not of ~it.- With all the inter-
est of a physician I beheld the won-
ders of my bodily anatomy, intimately
interwoven with which, even tissue
for tissue, was I, the living soul of
that dead body. I learned that the
epidermis was the outside boundary
of the ultimate tissues, so to speak, of
the soul. I realized my condition, and
reasoned calmly thus; I have died, as
men term death, and yet I am as
much a man as ever. I am about to
get out of the body. I watched the in-
teresting process of the separation of
soul and body. .

“ ‘By some power, apparently not
my own, the ego was rocked to and
fro, latterly, as a cradle is rocked. by
which process its connection with the
tissues of the body was broken 11p.
After a little time the latieral mo-
tion ceased. and along the soles of the.
feet. beginning at the toes. passing
rapidly to the heels, I felt and heard.
as it seemed. the snapping of innu-
merable small cords. \thn this was
accomplished. I began slowly to re-
treat from the feet toward the head,
as a rubber cord shortens. I remem—
ber reaching the hips and saying to
myself, “Now there is no life below
the hips.” I can recall no memory of
passing through the abdomen or chest.
but. recollect distinctly when my whole
self was collected in the head. when I
reflected thus: I am all in the head
now, and I shall soon be free. I passed
around the brain as if I were hollow,
compressing it and its membranes

 

slightly on all sides toward the centre. ?

and peeped out between the sutures o’.’
the skull, emerging like the flattened
edges of a bag of membranes. I recol-
lect distinctly how I appeared to my-
self something like a jellyfish as re-
gards color and form. As I emerged
from the head I floated up and down,
and laterly like a soap bubble attach-
ed to the bowl of a pipe, until I at
last broke loose from the body and
fell lightly to the floor, where I slowly
rose and expanded into the full stat—
ure of a man. I seemed to be trans-
lucent. of a bluish cast.

“I fled toward the pal t1 illy opened
door, but upon reaching the door I
turned and faced the company. As I
did so my left elbow came in contact
with the arm of one of two gentlemen
standing in the door. To my surprise.

:thc vast mass
”and public opinion thought that
. best way.

his arm passed through mine without ;

apparent resistance, the severed parts .
were genuine woman’s wrongs to be

. righted and legal disabilities to be. re-
‘moved. The agitation and organized

closing again Without pain, as air rc-
unibes. I looked quickly up at his face
to see if he had noticed 'the contact,
but he gave me no sign—only stood
and gazed toward the couch I had just
left. I directed my gaze in the di-
rection of his, and saw my own dead
body.

"‘ ‘I saw a number of persons sitting
and standing about the body, and par
ticularly noticed two women, appar-
ently kneeling by my left side, and I
knew they were weeping. I have since
learned that they were my wife and
sister, but I had no conception of in-
dividuality. Wife, sister and friend
were all as one to me. I (lid not re
member any conditions "of relation-
ship; a-t least. I did not think of any.
I could distinguish sex but nothing
more. Not one lifted her eyes from my
body.

“‘I _'tu1ned and passed out at the

open door, inclining my head and

watching where I set my feet as I
stepped onto the porch. I crossed the
porch, descended the steps, walked
down the path and into the street.
There I stopped and looked about me.
I never saw that street more distinct-
Iy than I saw it then. I took note of
the redness of the soil, and the wash-
es the rain had made. I took a rathv
cr pathetic look about me. like one
who is about to leave his home for a
long time. Then I discovered that I
had become larger than I was in earth
life, and congratulated myself there
upon. I was somewhat smaller in the
body than 1 just liked to be, but in
the next life. I thought. I am to he as

I desired. My clothes. I noticed, had
acconunminled themselves to my in-
creased stature, and I fell to wonder~

ing when- they came from and how

. they got: onto 1,110 so quickly and with-

fabric. and judged it to be some kind
of: Scotch 1111tc1i.1l—'1 good suit, I
thought. but not ha.- itzsome; still, neat
and good enough. The coat fits loose-
ly, too, and that is chi for summer.
“How well I feel,” I thought. “Only
a few iiiinutes ago I was horribly‘ sick
and distiessed. Th .11 came that change
called death, which I have so much
dreaded. It is past now, and here. am
I. still a man. alive and thinking—yes,
thinking as clearly as ever, and how
well I feel.“

“‘Iu the exuberance of my joy at
the thought that I would never be
sick again Idanced in high glee. I
then noticed Ith it. I could see the back
of my co out with the eyes of my old
body, while my spiritual eyes weie
looking forward. I discovered that .-:
small cord. like the thread of a spi-
:ler's web ran from my shoulders back
to my body and was attached to it at
the base of the neck in front. Then I
passed through the air upheld by a
pair of bands which I could feel press-
lng lightly on my sides. I travelled at
11 swift but pleasant rate of speed 11n-
til I arrived on a narrow but well-
built roadway inclined upward at an
angle of 25 degrees. It was about as
far above the treetops as it was above
the clouds. The roadway seemed to
have no support, but was built of
'n-ilky quartz and white sand. Feeling
very lonely I looked for a companion.
and as a man dies every twenty sec~
ends I thought I ought not to have
long to wait before some one would
travel my way. But I could see no
me. At last. when I was beginning to
feel miserable, a face full of ineffablc
love and tenderness appeared to me.
Right in f1ont of me I saw three pro-
digious 1ocks blocking the road. A
voice spoke to me from a thunder
cloud, saying: “This is the road to the
eternal w or;ld once ydu pass them you
can no mo1e r'eturn to the body."
There were four entrances one very
lark; the other three led into a cool.
quiet and beautiful count1y.I de-
sired to go in, but when I reached the
exact cent1e of the rock I was sudden—
ly stopped. I became unconscious
again and when I awoke I was lying
In my bed. I awoke to consciousness
and soon recovered.’

“This narrative was written out by
the doctor eight weeks after the thing
occurred, but he told the story to those
at the bedside as soon as be revived.
The doctor who attended him‘said that
the breath was entirely extinct as far
as could be observed and every symp-
tom marking the patient as dead was
present.”—New York Sun.

A BLOW AT WOMAN’S SUFFRAGE.

An Editor‘s Opinion of It’s Defeat in the
State of ‘Vashington.

.‘XH
gonian has this to say in relation to
the defeat of the” equal suffrage
amendment in the state of \Vashington

The woman suffrage amendment
was buried in the same grave with.
the single-111x proposition by the
voters of \Vashington. Political suf—.
frage for woman is a slowly dy-
ing cause, and it is dying because it
Is without excuse for furtherexistcnce
The real wrongs of women which ex«
Isted when Lucy Stone began her

agitation in 1847 have mostly been re- ,

dressed by legislation. To-day every
political principle advocated at the
outset is enjoyed 'by women, save full
suffrage, and every legal right sought
by Lucy Stone has been granted to
women. They are even treated with

partiality by the laws, compared with |

men. Their individuality is not lost
In marriage. as it was when Mrs.
Stanton, who is 110w over 80, was a
young girl. Every avenue of activity
is open to them: they are as free as
men to earn their living in any war
they please. The conjugal, parental
and property rights of women have
been recognized and established by
the political action of men without the
aid of woman suffrage, simply because

effort begun more than fifty years ago
had much to do with the recognition
and redress of these wrongs, legal dis-
abilities and inequalities; but with the
accomplishment of these reforms the

cause of woman suffrage has made no

real progress. Its modern revival in
Kansas, Colorado and Idaho, was but
the outgrowth of the temporary so—
cialistic spirit that prevails in those
states.

The lack of the ballot surely robs a
woman of no rights of life, liberty or
property. The reason why woman suf-
frage is not favored by the mass of
women or the mass of men is because
it is a barren ideality. It rights he"
wrongs, it corrects no disability. Wo-
men to-day have without the ballot all
the civil and social rights exercised
by men. As a natural right suffrage
oel-ongs to. neither man nor woman, for
the ballot is only the child of an arti-
ficial social order to be granted or
withheld as a matter of social l‘and
political expediency. The mere wish
of a few women to vote is of no more
consequence to the state than the mere
wish of a few women to enlist in the
regular army. That Moll Pitcher serv-
ed her wounded husband’s gun at
Monmouth is not an argument for the
expediency of enlisting women as ar-
tlllerymen.

CHARACTER IN HANDWRITINF‘.

Easy Way to Make. Accurate Analysis of n
Person’s Disposition.

For a. little impromptu fun, when'a
few friends happen to drop in ask
each one to write any quotation that

 

fully Sign name in full. Pen and ink
are better than pencil but the latter
will ansv."e1 in a pinch. If the Wilting
is dark this shows a leaning towa1d
athletics and a love for outdoor life
and sports. If the letters are slender
and faint the writer is reserved and
rarely shows emotion or becomes con-
fidental. Sloping letters indicate a
very sensitive disposition, whereas
those that are straight up and down
evince ability to face the world and
throw off the “slings .and arrows of
outrageous fortune.”

Curls and loops are out of fashion
nowadays, but any inclination to or-
nate penmans‘hip is a sure indication
of a leaning toward the romantic and
sentimental, while the least desire to
shade a letter shows imagination and
a tendency to idealize common things.
If the’same letter is formed different-
Iy by the same person this shows love
of change. Long loops or endings to
the letterxfindicaxte that the writer
“wears his heart upon his sleeve,” or
in other words, is trusting, non-secre-
tive, and very fond of company. If
long finish,

is shows affectation, but if llhe same
person is also careless about crossing
the “ts,” the combination is an un-
happy one, as it points to fickleness in
work and affecta1tion. A curved
cross on the “t,” or the incurving of
the first letters of a word shows an
affectionate and good-natured dispos-
ition if taken separately; but if the
two are indulged in by the same writ—
er it is a sign of jealousy. '

Writing that is rather small points
to cleverness, quick intuitions, a lik-
ing for one’s oWn way, brilliant intel-
lect, and fine powers of penetration.
Round, jolly, comfortable locking let~
ters betoken a disposition to corres-
pond.

With these bin-ts in mind it will be
surprising how many caps may be
found to fit ourselves and our friends.

structure is impregnable, and it needs

I plorers can spare or find in the vicin-

Siberia the teeth of a mammoth is
not infrequently used. Despite this
precaution. however, many caches can
never be found again.

manner, the party must resort to «its

timer are in easy reach, but more fre-
quently not to be found at all. Game

Painting the Emperor's Portrait.

Not long ago the German Emperor
wished to have his portrait painted
by an English painter, and a certain
well-known artist was recommended
to him. The artist received and ac-
cepted the imperial commission, ar—
rived ait Berlin, and made the ac-
quaintance of the Kaiser. The artist
prepared for the first sitting with
some considerable dread. He was
conducted to a very large room. in the
palace, scantily furnished in cheer—
ess splendor, where the Kaiser await-
ed him. “You don’t like this room?"
said the Kaiser. before many minutes
had elapsed. “\Vhat sort of a room
would you like?” “Oh,“ said the art-
ist,” “a small room, cosey and com-
fortably furnished.” “I thought so."
said the Kaiser; I didn’t choose this
room.” Then they inspected rooms to-
getlrer, till the artist was satisfied.
Then the sitting began. "Now." said
the Kaiser, a few minutes later. "you
don’t paint like that at home; you are
not comfortable: how do you like
painting?” “Well. coat off—hat O-ll-A-
pipe," said the artist. tersely. “Just
so,” said the Kaiser, "that is exactly
!how I should lil.e you to paint. Now,
do make yourself at. home and com—
fortable, and we will talk about ling-
land.” Then and there the. German
Emperor and the English artist each
made a friend—Today.

Fashion’s Fancies.

Black velvet ribbons edge the mass
of white ruflies which form the petti-
coat front to some evening gowns. The
skirt proper of the gown is of some
pretty color shaped off into a train at
the back, and slightly draped at the
sides. Model gowns of this style show
the Princess and tight-fitting effect in.
the back. The bodice of a gown with
a ruffled petticoat of this kind will fre-
quently have a wide pointed opening
from the shoulders to the waist, also
filled in with ruflles of the White,
though narrower, edged with the nar-
row black velvet ribbon to match the
petticoat. ' .

Fringe is rather the most novel
trimming at moderate price. I should
say. So new is it. yet so smart, that
the dealers, while they do not at-
tempt to keep in stock any colors in
all widths but black and white make it
to order in Whatever shade and depth a
patron fancies.

Such fringe, silk, is ch-:. A gown
of bluet poplin, trimmed with bands
of bluet satin and, fringe of. the same
shade, is simple and modish.

Buttons as ornaments are in. high
favor. Any strange button or but-
tons corresponding with the gown for
which it is purposed to use them— may
be employed fashionably. Rarely are
they used, except on shirt waists, for
actual fastenings.

Glass buttons are novel for fanciful
afternoon gowns. They are the ,size
of small marbles, made from glass,
which is uncolored and cut,

Pearl buttons, white, are the fast-
ening s of colored flannel shirt waists,
even dark plaid. It is queried whether
the gentler feminine vocabulary has
not been too delicate to express the
strain from the daily use of disappear-
Ing shirt studs. Anyway, they have
gone. . ., iii 9'13

Some haberdashers, in the ecstasy
of novelty, run double rows of brass
buttons from the belt to the neck of
their blouses, along the two box plaits
which, one on either side of the front,
distinguish many new waists. But
they are too much. “Much too much,"
as the popular heroine says in “the
greatest play since Shakespeare’s."

 

J acketa of All Descriptions.
There is no particular shape in jack-
ets this season which can be said to

take precedence of all others, for there 1

are jackets and jackets, short, medium,
three-quarter, and those reaching the
skirt—hem in redingote form; and they
are made for every possible occasion

and of every sort of wrap material,,

from serge to satin or velvet, and lined
with satin brocade. First come the
practical jackets of black or dark
broadcloth, with closely-fitted backs, a
turn-down collar, narrow revers, and
fronts out either in double—breasted
style, or open simply over a dress
waist, with trimming in vest style.
Then appear the elegant “dress" jack-
ets, made of the palest shades of la-
dies’ cloth or light—weight Melton,
lined with silk of a delicately contrast-
ed. colors. These imported CI().II
jackets cost quite as much as a jet-
trimmed coat of velvet. Conspicuous
among the latest garments offered at
noted importing houses are jackets of
Vivid military-red tailor cloth, some

perfectly plain, others with vest and .

revers of cream cloth, or again show-
ily trimmed, with black gimp or elab-
orate so-utache braidwork.

 

Ornaments for the Hat.

Hat ornaments are enormous. It is

going to be a. marvel how the heads ‘

upon which they are to appear will
support them.
management of the head to obtain an
equilibrium. Many of these enormous

clubs are of jet, and two stylish ones.

seen in one hat—big pins with enor—
mous round head, in the front of it—
cut steel. Many pretty bonnets are
made of slung jet, or black sequins, as
many people would say. All colors
are combined with‘the black. A beau--
tiful shade of orange that appears in
millinery might be called frosted
orange in contradistinction to the
burnt orange which has been so much
used. It has a pretty white frosted
effect.

Less Fanciful Trimmings.

In imported models received thus
far, we still see the sheath-fronted,
full-backed skirt, repeating its decora-
tions more or less elaborately accord-
ing to its style of material and the oc-
casion for which it is desired; the
sleeves small and close, the bodice
much. trimmed. Many of the smart
effects of the autumn will be repeated
on winter gowns, but, as a rule, there
will be much less of the reckless cut-

ting up of yards and yards of material

into small fanciful trimmings, and
more of braid decorations en applique,
soutache work, milliners’ folds, ruches,
over-skirt panel, and peplum effects,
and redingotes, and princesse overv
dresses, both plain and decorated.

 

Five and Seven Gored Skirts inFavor.

The skirt models cut with five or
seven gore's gain rather than lose in
favor. The five-gored shape has a
rather wide side breadth. The popu-
larity of the seven-piece suit is largely

due to the fact that it is a moderate -

style—neither too full nor too scant in
breadths—and also to its general con—
tour and effect; it proves alike becom-
ing to stout as to slender figures, to
women tall 01‘ short, and is an excellent
model for either’ silk or wool mater-
ial.

“New, Uncle Buttonball, I think you
are foolishly prejudiced about it. "

Benedict Buttonbaill, commonly call1
ed “Uncle Bill,” shook his head at
Frank Worrall’s levity. ‘

“Maybe I am,” said he, “but we’re
not to blame for our convictions. I
can’t help mine, anyhow. And I
.couldn’t any more marry in the face

of my promise to Hephsi'bah than 1

could—join the Mormons!"

“Pauline Pepper is a pretty girl ”
isaid Frank, “and a good girl, too, al-
though not young. ”

“If she was she wouldn’t be suitable
Ito me!” said Mr. Buttouball. “I don’t
deny that it’s all true enough what
‘you say. But, you perceive, I’m the
victim of circumstances.”

“Circumstances be hanged!” ejacu-

lated Frank Worrall, losing his tem-
per afi last and banging the door be-
,hind him as he hurried out of the
3 room.
I “Isn’t he a fool!” said Dorothy Mar—
iiin. “And is he really so superstiti-
tious about breaking the promise that
that unreasonable vimgo of a wife ex:
acted from him?”

“Unquestionably he is,” said Frank
Worrall.

“How?” queried Derothy.

“Well?” ,

“What sort of a woman was your
Aunt Hephs-ibah? You know I never
saw her. She died before I came‘to
Hopton to live.”

"A little, fat woman, with spectacles
and a brown foretop, who always
wore brown gingham and talked
through her nose. I forgot,,1though—

And then Mr. Buttonlbalzl fell into a
doze or a reverie—he never could be
quite certain which—from which he
was aroused by the old kitchen clock

tered The Presence. “You want to

“Peace! Disturb not the voices of a

“No, my dear, I won’t,” said the

submissive husband.

tract no second marriage. You are a
f1ee agent. My eyes are opened now
to many things, among them the folly
of my eaithly jealousies. Go, marry

' Slowly the brown ginghamed form
retreated backward with gleaming
spectacles and uplifted finger through
the buttery door into the black kitch-
en, while Uncle Buttonball sat star-
Ing and transfixed with an agony of
superstitious terror.
