BRUTUS' rOWKR OF SARCASM.
During the time the late and re
nowned Itruttis edited the Haul he re
sided at a small cottage on the roadside
leading from Llandovery to Treenstell.
m ho bank of the (iwydderig a small
liver runnlnT through a thiekly-wno.l-ed
valley called Cwnidwr, on her way
to join the beautiful Towy. At this
time the mail coach used to run past
thin eottaue, p.nd the driver w,i3 In the
habit of drawing the attention of the
passengers to the place, as where F.ru
tus lived, lniring one stormy and dark
night a very serious accident happened
to the mall coaeh some tlisanee from
this cottage. The conehmim drove too
nenr the edge, and the coaeh, hories,
driver and passengers went over, mak
ing several saumersaults on their way
to the bank of the Owydderlg below.
The poor passengers who happened at
the time to be in the coach were said to
be of a notorious character, the elect of
the Wicked One. luif ns it happened
they sustained but very llttie Injury
besides being shaken, nnd naturally
frightened. Some little llnic nfter the
accident a big stop" was placed on the
side of the embankment, where the
horses tumbled over, to commemorate
the sad event and to act nhni as a warn
ing to all those having to pass that
v,ny. HriUus was asked to write a
proper Inscription for the memorial,
which he did In the following lines:
Beware, ye coachmen, p m.encrf r.- and nil.
For here the mall had a treniemloiis fall:
O'er hedge It rolled, tumbling tonvthrr.
And rested nut naill It ivnciied the live.

Then, wuit. Old Xlek, Have patience, you

dale list of prices adopted for working
the liute seam at the Ferndnlo col
lieries which are, situated in . tha ad
joining district. Owing to a dispute as
to the interpretation of a portion of the
award, a large number of workmen, in
cluding rippers und colliers, absented
themselves from work without notices,
und claims nd counter claims were
made by the employers and the men
respectively in respect to the cases.
With reference to the rippers the court
decided in their favor. The judge stat
ed that with reirard to the miners the
award was binding upon both parties
as long as It was not set aside. The
miners, therefore, wiio contended that
they were net bound to do the second
lippiugi or to cut the bottom, had to
pay the damages claimed by the com
panv, notwithstanding the fact that
the "judge ivmut keil that the work of
Miond rippir.es devolved upon the rip
peis. The question In dispute Is a very
important cue. and really it af.ects a
Vtry laruc number of workmen indi
rectly outside, of the Manly collieries.
Th meeting resclvc l. however, that
woik should be resumed upon the
t. in s suggested by William Thomas,
Uryn'awcl",' Aberdare. chief agent of the
coll'erlos, pending the decisions in the
appeal case, and hat an agreement be
drawn up between the employers and

WALKS AND WELSH.
The crurade which has been started
by Mr. Alfred Thomas, says the London
draphle, agtilnst the retention of the
terms "Wales" and "Welsh" would
probably meet with more cordial sup
port from his fellow -countrymen if he
lied better substitutes to suggest than
the hybrid Anglo-Lntinised forms of
"fjimhrla" and "Cambrians." If Mr.
Thome.? wishes to destrve well of his
countrymen, a far better field for his
reforming eenl is; furirtshed by the
"curiously unlmlni'icrinative and pain
fully prevailed surnames," to quote the
phrase of one of his critical oompalri-
i ots. with which thousands of Welsh
l families are burdened.' According to
! this authority there is no historiacl or
! other reason why any Welshman
should be called Jones or. Williams,
while on the other hanil there is no lack
of line and distinguished Welsh names
to which nil the Joneses might Ily for
refuge tomorrow, it Is therefore, sug
gested that Instead of forming a soci
ety for "promoting" the name of "Cam
bria" Mr. Thomus should found one for
the reformation of ' Welsh surnames.
iJesb.b s, "Cambria" pre.mnts the great
drawback that no worus rhyme to it,
whereas, to quote a Cardini'an bard,
(our own Silurian). "Whene'er men
prnlse our hills and dales, no word can
lhyme as well un "Wales."

wus one night tempted by a couple of

II HEADS THOUGHTS
Washington Inventor I'atents a Re
markable Production.
KNOWS TOUR MEXTAl SECRETS
Believes That the Forco or Thoajht is
Something Actual, Whoso Vibra
tions Can Not OnU be Kecnrded
llut Also Transmitted.
Washington Letter, Philadelphia Times.
If the accounts given of a new ma
chine just completed by Julius Emner,
of thU! city, are not too hoiief ul It is
the most wonderful of discoveries, for
it lifts man out of Wie plane of the ma
terial end reads his most secret
thoughts, laying bear his mind as if
beneath a tnlerose&rie, and recording
each Idea as it Is given birth In the
brain. If it was a great feat to photo
graph through a solid substance It is
an almost miraculous performance to
take mental t hotograohs, which can
be secured unknown to the person, pho
tographs which will tell every intangible
dream which Meats through the soul.
The Idea of recording thought oc
curred to Mr. Emner about three years
ago. The fact that sight nr.d hearing
were caused by the vibiu'Kms of light
and Bound mud-? him suspect that the
force cf thought was Fometliing actual,
which exerted a tangible power by vi
brations Khn'Mr to those of light nnd
sound, and Hint a machine could be
constructed which would be sensitive
to the thought force, as the phonograph
is to the voice. Many deny that thought
Is anything real, but Mr. Emner holds ;
that the brain is n form of electric bat- i
tcry. thoughts emanating from it Just !
as the rays do from electricity, that j
they penetrate the atmosphere und j
cause vibrations just as a tuning fork
does when struck. Hypnotism, he ex- ;
plains, shows that mind goes out nnd :
exerts lis force on another, and the
brain vibrations are transmitted from I
one person Just us the sound would
be carried. j
The machine, which Is now in the ;
hands of a patent lawyer. Is a cylinder
about six or eight Inches long and an i
inch and a half In diameter. It Is cout
ed with an exceedingly sensitive chemi
cal, which Is easily decomposed by the
electric current. In front Is a fine
needle of aluminum, coated at its point
with chemicals, and resting on the cylin
der, whi'e the base Is set. In a din- j
phragm of aluminum, a very thin plnte i
of the latter being used. In front is a
large, open, somewhat horn-like ar
rangement, which Is intended to convey
the vlbralons direct to the recorder.
The machine Is put In action by means
of a small motor, which revolves the
cylinder, the thought forces causing the
needle to make upon the surface of the
cylinder ImnresBlons which correspond
with the vibrations. j
ELECTRICITY DOES IT.
There Is, of course, n.n electric induc
tion coll connected with the aparatus.
The person whose thoughts are to be
read Is seated about three feet in front
of the machine and lets his mind pursue
the train cf thought ho desires. The
motor Is set going and within a few
moments the cylinder has done Its work
and a finer nnd more delicate needle Is
put In place of the recording one, for the
mind is to be read from the impressions.
Connection Is made with the second
ary Induction coil and wires leading
from the electrodes are placed at the
base of the brain of the render. The
ideas which had passed from the first
person Into the machine are now trans
mitted into the mind of the second per
son with absolute fidelity and perfect
accuracy, the thoughts being received
In on unconscious manner that Is, not
by any sound or any written word, but
the conception frames itself In the mind
of the second person Just as it was given
being in that of the first. It is Just
reproduced again.
That the machine will do all that is
claimed for it has. It Is said, been
proven not only by the inventor, but by
several other persons. An experiment
was tried to show that this force of
thought was exerted unconsciously bv
a person who was unknown to him, and
to make a perfect test a young lady was
placed In a hypnotic state and put a
few feet away from the machine. She
lay before It not only not exerting her
self, but absolutely unconscious of her
surroundings, and without any control
over her own mind, which was In a state
of seml-oomn, or at least oblivious to
the environment. Then Mr. Emner took
the record of mind from the cylinder
Into his own mind and read her thought
finding that her brnin had been busv
with family affairs all the time.
INTERESTING TESTS.
Another exnerlment was tried with
two friends to whom he had been ex
plaining his Invention. Mr. Emmer had
his thoughts recorded and then let
his friends read them by placing the
wires from the electrodes nt the base of
their brains. As soon as they hud fin
ished expressing their astonishment one
of them wns placed near the cylinder
and when Mr. Emner read Ihe record
It ran "Am I In nn insane asylum or
am I hypnotized?" showing that the
man's mind was full of wonder nt tho
things he wns experiencing. When he
went awnv he told that he had been
hypnotized, not being able to compre
hend that such n wonderful power ex
isted ns thoutfht recording.
As thoughts vary In Intensity. Mr.
Emner showed that the degrees would
be marked upon the machine. He pro
cured a dog and by teasing It threw
It Into a violent rage when near the
cylinder. The record showed that the
dogs mind was powerfully agltnted, for
the vibrations were Intense, hence It
Is to be seen that by Emner's Invention
not only human feelings, but those of
the nnimal creation ere open to our
mind s eye.
PRACTICAL USE!?.
The uses to which this Invention can
be put are numberless. To be able
to preserve the record of our own
thoughts, which we tan rend off nt
will; to be able to take down the
thoughts of nnother when they may he
unconscious of the operation; to fnthorn
the brnin of the poet: to examine the
minds of the Insane: to discern the se
cret thoughts of our friends, and to
trace the workings cf crime In the brain
of the criminal nr.? all fields of unlim
ited boundaries, operations of which
science has as yet scarcely dreamed.

watch tta Innermost workings Is truly
marvelous, and this Is what Is being
done by the thought-recording ma
chine. It can also be used a3 a means
of communication with the deaf, who
can thus read the thoughts of another
in conversation just as well as if they
possessed hearing. The business man
can sit at his desk, think out replies to
his letters without opening his lips,
and hta clerk write them out from the
cylinder while the man Is miles away.
Tho author need no more dictate to
a stenographer, for this machine will
take the Ideas In their very birth, and
hold them for posterity. The inald
whose lover is bashful can detect his
tender thoughts. There can be no de
ceit uructlced en one whose o.floe Is
fitted out with such a conscience Pierc
ing friend, for the alma and motives of
these about us will 1-e, if they are
echoed In their thoughts, as clear to us
as tho day. The murderer will be con
fronted with a proof of his crime, and
the punishment of offenders will bo an
easy task.
TO PIIOTOCRATH THOUGHT.
Mr. Emner has also ben experiment
ing wl'h the X rays, nnd says that he
believes that he will be able to mche
actal photographs of thought that is.
Hint he can photograph tho vibrations
of thought, Just ns those of light and
sound are taken down by the camera.
His iiifnt'on is to place the machine
about three feet from the pr-rsjn, and
on one side, half-way between them,
will be a camera, and on the other side,
bin in th" same pnnlt!o;i, will bo the
tube In wh!i h the X Iny (s generated.
Tho thought vihrntions In Passing Into
the machine will naturally vhave to
cross the space between the camera and
the ray, und a photograph of the vibra
tions, so Mr. Emner thinks possible,
will be the result.
.Mr. Emner also thinks that some
years ami he ran ncros what he now
believes to lie the X ray. and that his
opinion Is that this wonderful licht is
a species of magnetism r issesed by all
human bodies, tine night he lift In u
dark room several iiiugm'tM. while a
camera wltii the shutter open, but plate
slide closed, was on a table. In this
peifectly dark room were several cases
of Instruments, and the next day. when
be hud taken n picture on the plate and
developed it. he found on the fr.ee per
fect photograph of the Instruments.
He believes that the mnsncts generated
the X ray, this taking the picture.

In announcing tin? appearance of his lat
est bunk, "The Story of Cuba." A'tirat
Halsteiul writes: "In the capacity of cur

uary and came away In March. Letters
of Identification from members of the
ci.bIiiBl, the supreme court, the chairman
of tho committees on foremn affairs of the

Spanish olllcials in Havana, who wave me

which Is desolating the li.'hest anil fairest
Island In the world, nnd my Interest in the
theme, which has deepened daily ns I have
Ruined knowledge, has cuuae.l me to make
historical investigations In the records ot

Kurdlng the grave mutters treated, nnd
have slated them frankly trying to be
Impartial In statement and I am encour
aged to believe that I have been so Inter

Interesting book. It Is a lubor in itself
fascinating, und the diftleulty or uTserni
inatlon is an unceasing experience. It s
hard to find the truth In many Cuban to
rlcKbut this story, to far na I know and

thut the matter collected and the man

Immediate and permanent interest nnd

Story of a Mother and Daughter,
From the Ckronirlr,
A ftnry rrmarkablo In many respects is
told l.y Mrs. (ieorge Argile which contains
much information which will be appreciated
by thousand of women who are mitit-riiii!
r.s she did, nnd lliey will find relief from nil
their trouble, so easily, so quickly, and no
prrniuni-iilly that tlicy will wonder how the
Jjosfibility came nlmut.
Mr. (icorgn Argile left hit native home in
Yorkshire, England, eight years ngo to em
brace the greater opiHirtiiuitiea this country
oll'ereil. lie wus I'uitiiuatc in immediately
securing a responsible pKilion on hie
arrival in Cliicimo with the ('liicn-jro anil
Rock Mn ml Ihiilroml Company. Faithful
lo his duties lie received recognition by pro
motions mid to-day is in sole charge of the
team tracks of this great railway ylem.
The position is known in railroad circles as
foreman of the teams that loud und unload
freight.
A Her one year nnd a hulf tn the employ
of this mud lie sent for his wife und children,
who arrived safely here und in good health.
After roiiiii two years residence here Mrs.
Argile commenced to feel badly. Like
thousands of other women he hail womb
trouble of over twenty years standing. At
first this trouble, in Chicago, wus not suf
ficiently nente to interfere materially witli
her household duties, but in course of
months It developed In such n degree that
it proved exceedingly painful to her lo at
tend to the many little duties required to
keep ii house neat ami tidy. This condition
continued to grow worse anil worse till she
was forced to recognize that if she did not get
skillful medical aid, she would grow into a
continued invalid. During this period u
neighbor whom she laid known for quite n
while lolil her that she was using Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People with ex
ccllent results, nnd she believed thut they
would rid her of nil her troubles without
Hie uid of any physician. Having confi
denee in her neighbor's words she com
menced to take the pills some six months
ago mid found that tiller taking the first box
she fell un improvement, uot great, hut
sufficient to realize that if tills better feeling
continued she would he on the ri.idit ronil.
With the second box, she knew thut she
was gettjng better, as she gained both flesh
und strength, felt a Imoyiiney of spirit she
lind not experienced in years, and the pains
from which she had suffered so much were
quickly growing less. To-day it hns been
five months since she began taking the pills.
She is relieved of all her pains, lias reguincil
her strength, so thut she is able to work all
day, nnd it is only when she overexerts her
self thut she hns any indication of pains,
which would also happen to a perfectly well
womun. ;
This is the story of what Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills tiirPnle People lmve done for her,
und of course she is well satisfied with the
benefits she bus received. Rut this does not
end by any mentis wind she has still further
lo tell, ami what is morn she speaks with the
suine knowledge slit- has of her own case,
tliecnsoof her little daughter Emily who is
l"iyeiirsold. Shesuys in recant to her, "about

further more it became pereeplible that the
was growing nervous. Her condition dur.
iiig I lie following year nfter her sickness did
not improve, iu fact, I thought it was u little
worst-. Tho second yenr, I know it ws;
but probably being with her constantly did
not fully realize that he was decidedly get.
ting iu a very bud way.
' It wus only in the forepart of lust year
that 1 became seriously slunued, us her lao
guidnrns, her eouslant tiredness, iuureututi
und she lieeiinie so nervous and so fretful
that if any person spoke to her, it would
muke her cry. Her nopetite got poorer with
every tuoulii, hiiiI I did reully wonder how
the little thing could live en what she Rle.
ller complexion beeume sallow und assumed
u greeuish hue. Hud she heeiime what I called
'skin and honrs' very thin Indeed. This
wus her condition some four mouths se,o.
It was nt this time that I had tuken a few id
the pills, mid commencing to get fiiitli in
them made Kmily lake tliem. I say, ini.
mediately she felt better, perhaps that is not
quite true, but certainly alter the third week
I could see nn improved condition in her,
und this improvement continued up lo tho
aeennd month, slowly hut surely. Then the
improvement of the child became tnurkiil,
her uppetite returned and grew better with
every day, she commenced to fatten up, she
became more cheerful nnd lively und l-r
nervousness ut times left, her altogether.
"In tho last two weeks tier complexion
hns rcguiucd the perfect color of lienlth, her
checks are fleshy uud plump nnd she is us
lively ns a cricket. Her nppetite well tha
less said about that the better, she is eating
nil the time und ull the time is hungry.
When she now rimics home from school, iii
stead of listlessly crawling into the house
lo lie down to rest, she is romping till over
the house nnd cries ' Mother you don't
know how good It feels to be full of life,
how glad I mn thut I don't feel tins) any
more.' She hits completely thrown off her
nervousness, nnd ull those symptoms which
for thn-e long years niiulc me fcur very
