How HE RESTORES HIS MEMoRY.-A
shrewd wife in town, who has forget.
ting husband, has adopted method Of
jogging his memory which is at once
novel and effectual. When she desires
him to bring her anything from the
store, she makes cross on the back
of his hand with q lead pencil. When
he takes drink ct q saloon, in extend
ing his hand for glass, he invariably
sees that mark and remembers his er-
rand. Being thus reminded thirty or
forty times q day, it would be singular
indeed if he forgot what was required
of him. Weekly BrunsuicEer.

Turning to the jury, his lordship said,
"see, gentlemen, what you may reason

brother of the first, and, though older,
being upwards Of eighty years Of age,
he was a more healthy looking man.

REALITIES OF MANHooD.-T

REALITIES OF MANHooD.-To the boy,
the world beyond his immediate sur
roundings is only picture. He does
not know how real are the sorrows, the
passions, the ambitions of men. It's
absorbing interest, it's heroes and its
martyrs, are heard of by him without
understanding, or with Indifference.
His sport, his lessons, his home life, are
alone real. But there will come a
change. The ordinary slow growth in
to manhood, with its business or pro-
fessional pursuits and widening rela-
tions, or startling events, such as the
death of parent, or some intellectual
or spiritual appeal, striking out the la
tent soul, will make vivid and earnest
what was indistinct and uninteresting.
Like q stereoscope picture before it is
put in the stereoscope, the life of men
has no body or reality; but when the
boy awakens, as with the picture with
in the instrument so with him, solid
ity and naturalness will be acquired by
the external world, and he will feel that
it is henceforth to live and move
amongst these grander and graver
forms. Many mistakes will he commit
ted, false estimates willie form Of propor-
ton and perspective, the earnestncss
of his new conceptions will hurry him
into extravagances and generous
errors; but if there is truth in his ma
ture, and nobleness in his spirit, Just
views will be formed, and the day in
which it is given him to work will find
him not unmindful Of the responsibility
which arises from knowledge Of the
coming night.

A somewhat remarkable case of mes
merle influence occurred yesterday as the
result of an experiment made by Professor
Caldwell the evening previous. He selected
two female subjects at his performance on
Tuesday evening, whom he obtained per-
mission to influence i'm any reasonable and
proper manner, and to keep one of them,
who worked i'm the mill. out half day for
a mesmeric demonstration not specified to
them. While under his influence that
evening he made them believe that they
were picking grapes, and. after they had
finished picking an imaginary large guam
tity. he handed each a slip of paper, one of
which. he said. was a check for $50 and the
other for S25. He told them TO 90 TO the
First National Bank at 1890 o clock yester-
day forenoon and get the money on the
honor the checks, to present them to Mayor
Jewett. and he would pay the amount
named on them.
their minds were Immediately afterward
diverted to another subject, and the mes
meric influence was then thrown off And
now to the secret Of the affair. The two
subjects, according TO their husbands, were
apparently as uninfiuenccd a. ever up to
about 10 O'Clock yesterday forenoon, when
a change was perceptible. One of them
then called at the residence of the other.
and the two passed out. The husband of
one followed them, and they went to the
First National Bank. Mr.. Allen, the
Cashier, had previously been informed by
Professor Caldwell of the prospective visit,
and the former was prepared 70 receive

Imagination for picture of the applause
which greeted the flight of eloquence.
This important decision was made at the
lnstigation of George +. Hoar, who asked
by what rule or authority the words in
question were put in. The Speaker said
there was no rule for it,. and that, as the
words only put on record the fact that the
members had violated the rules which for

Cost OF Living in Europe.

\ correspondent writing from Dresden
gives some interesting facts concerning
the cost of living in Germany The meals
al the = restauratiOnr are fair sample of
the cost of living here. Every beer saloon
is . restauralion.r and "spece kash"
Is found on the tables. All day long peo-
pie pour into these houses. drink glass of
beer and get something to eat. The dish
e. vary from seven or eight cents to TWEEN
ty-five. These eating bar-rooms are all
of about equal rank, and the prices do not
vary three cents in any of them. 30 well
do they know how much everything
should cost that anything like a variation
from the regular prices would insure to-
tai dcsertion from customers. Indeed. 80
low and regular are the prices at the eat
lighthouses that near one-half Oftle popu-
lation OF the cities take all their meals i'm
them. They can eat at any hour Of the
day they choose. and for any sum of mon
ey. however small. This regularity of
prices Is found in almost everything. The
poorest man can ride in a carriage when
he wishes. or when he arrives at a city In
which he is unacquainted and wishes To
be taken to "A certain hotel. The ride on
ly costs him from 10 to IL cents. This
cheap carriage has increased the number
OF hacks and business. Ii is mystery TO
us how the keepers Of restaurants can
pay double a. much for the meats of all
kinds here a we do in the United States.
and then furnish you at the table for one
third the same price. BY the same rule if
the meats cost three times a much as with
Us, they should charge three times a.
much in the restaurants

A Deaf Editor Stirs Up Book Peddler.

We thought everybody in the State
knew that we were deaf. but once in a
while we find one who is not aware of the
fact. A female book peddler came to the
Office the other day. She wished TO dis
pose of book. She was alone i'm this
world. and had no one to whom she could
turn for sympathy or assistance; hence we
should buy her book. She was unmarried.
and had no manly heart into which she
could pour her sufferings, therefore we
ought to invest In her book. She had re-
ceiyed liberal education. and could talk
French like native; wecould not. in con-
sequence, pay her less than 81 for book.
We had listened attentively, and here
broke in with: "What did you say |?
We're deaf" She started i'm a loud voice
and went through her rigmarole. When
she had finished we went and got roll of
paper and made il into speaking trumpet,
placed one end to our ear, and told her to
proceed. She commenced: IL am alone In

and demanded the money on them. Mr..
Allen said that he had 10 money To answer
the checks, when they responded substan-
TALLY that il must be- poor bank that
couldn't pay checks TO the amount of TWEEN
ty-five dollars.
They then passed out, and up TO the
Mayors office, going Immediately In and
presenting the checks To the Mayor, who
was not in the secret, and who at first was
very indignant NJ the imperative manner
in which they demanded 500 ON the bits of
paper in their hands. They were anything
but complimentary 10 the Mayor in their
remarks. when he said that he could not,
that the bits of paper were checks. and one
of them put her spectacles over his nose,
then asked him ii he could see. Prot. Cad
well put his head in at the Mayors Office
door AS that official wa ordering them out,
TO avoid an arrest, and the fact that the two
women were under mesmeric influence was
then made apparent 10 his honor.
BY this time DR.. j. {. Aver ard several
city officials had entered the room, and
several experiments were made, showing
thrt the subjects Were completely under
mesmeric influence. They could not see
Prof. Caldwell or feel his pulling OF their
ears, but when DIR. Aver pulled these or
gans they Were Immediately cognizant of
the fact, and scolded him emphatically for
the liberties taken. In few minutes after
ward Prof. Caldwell snapped his forefinger
and thumb. at the same time saying all
right and the influence passed. They
instantly sank down upon a sofa In the
room, one of them crying bitterly at first.
and both evidently beng much ashamed.
They were both perfectly unconscious of
what had taken place since they left their
homes. A more surprising case of control
under mesmeric influence is seldom made
