you had just purchased. Somehow the conversa- tion got on to the mysterious; you stated you had certain gifts, and I expressed my desire to make a test. You immediately informed me, although I was an absolute stranger to you, that I was a married man, and had one child, a son, whose name you gave me in full. You correctly described the greater part of my house and furniture, and also described my wife, particularly mentioning a certain sort of purse she carried. You then went on to inform me that I had that morning been considerably bothered by the mis- laying of certain books in the office. In a moment or two you told me that my mother was living in Glasgow; you described the interior and exterior parts of the house, particularly mentioning an old sword that was hanging onthe wall, and stated, quite correctly, that this sword was used by one of my ancestors on the heichts of Quebec under Wolfe. You even added: “Your mother is lying ill, and I am sorry to tell you she is suffering from one disease and is being medically attended under misapprehension for another.” This I subsequently found to be correct by having a consultation. You also gave me a long and detailed account of my brother's life, and you told what was probably his exact occupation at the time of speaking, that is to say, he was gold-mining in Alaska. Yours, etc, J. ALLAN.
