Stead, author, journalist, theosopbist and general student of all that is odd, now announces that be has received by the means of aatomatio writing from a very well known spirit the information that every living per son has what is called the sixth sense. In other words, we ore all mediums, contrary to the general supposition, even among the advunced disciples of spiritualism. The message or communication is given to the world through Editor Btead, who for the timo being is under the guidance of this feminine control, the real author of the statements being known as Julia. Her messages have been coming at intervals for five years and among the students of the occult are regarded as absolutely true. That is why Mr. Stead lays so much importance upon them. It is for this reason he holds that the nommnnioation between the inhabitants of the world and those who have passed away oan be much more free if only people will have it that way. In the message Julia says: "What I have to tell you is that all those who really wish to have the sixth sense, or whatever you may choose to term it, so developed that they can at will become sensibly or to their senses cognizant of the reality of the existence of the beings who encompass them about can acquire the gift or faculty if they will but adapt themselves to the laws of the region into which they wish to penetrate. It is a potentiality of the universal human race. Nor is it only human. Many animals have the open eye. They see when their owners are blind. But you can see if you choose. It rests with yourselves. "There is no short cut to the sixth sense. There may be something like it in mesmerism and hypnotism, but that is not at all what I mean. What is pos sible is fdr every child of man to be come what you call normally clairvoy ant that is, for any one to possess himself of the power of seeing and hearing, as plainly as he sees and hears material things, the invisible forms and voices that surround him. "The power is one that ought to be under control. There will be only harm done if ou do not shut at will the clair voyant eye. Imagine the mischief that would happen if when life and death hung on the absolute concentration of til faculties on the subject immediately before you, if at the supreme moment you were to see the whole phantasma goria of borderland pass between yon and the point of exclusive interest. If you cannot control your sixth sense, yon had better not acquire it. It is much better to do without it than to be con trolled by it. "You should have the sense at com mand when you need it, as you have your microscope or yonr telescope, but better have nether if you are to be compulsorily doomed at other will than yours to interrupt the work of life by a spectacle of the infinitely little or the infinitely remote. Man should always be master of his senses, especially of the sixth sense, as it is called." In her further statements to Mr. Stead Julia goes on to say that the investigator must always be simple and not to be constantly thinking of himself. In other words, self conscionsness must be avoided, or it will play havoo with the chances of success. All one's mental faculties are needed. Everything must be examined and tested without preju dice and without partiality. Nothing can be achieved without time and pa tience. The first thing to be done to see the invisible ones, Julia says, is to be very still and to wait. When quite still and passive, close your eyes and think of the one whom you wish to see. If it is a friend still alive in the body, it will help you if at the same time, although that is not essential, hs or she i be also passive and alone. When you have two spirits in accord, both seeking the same thing, the difficulties are less, bnt yon must be agreed in heart and soul. If you could keep the concentrated quiet attention for a longer period than five minutes without becoming tired, then you had better do so. At no time, how ever, force yourself, for a strain means failure. If in this way, Julia declares, one succeeds in acquiring success, it is ac quired forever. There will be no more parting between the one who has gained his object and the spirit world. The greatest danger is that the sixth sense may control the individual instead of being in itself controlled. New York Herald. Warwickshire'! Ducking; Stools.

I don't want men to offer me their seats in the car, and I always avoid the appearance of staring a man out of a seat. They have paid their money and are entitled to thoir seat if once they get it.
