Df. William A. Hammond, OF New

scientific point of view, TO the passage,
" According TO your faith be IL unto
You" He has made series OF expert.
mems 10 proof OF the proposition thst
the credulous can be cured by the will
power of others. He can produce numb.
ness or abnormal sensitiveness at pleasure,
the agency used having nothing really to

suggestion y that il, If one person sus.

faith In that persons POWER, the one acted
upon will experience all the sensations

1t seems that some time ago patient
OF this eminent surgeon and physician OF
mental and nervous disease informed
him that she was going 10 Europe to try
the "metal cure.' He offered 10 save
her the trouble by sending over for a SET
of the disks, rings, needles, etc, used
for the purpose. Speaking of the first
experiment, not essentially different from
good many Others, he says:
tried the metals on patient who
came 10 see me. This WAS q lady also.
l told her | had something new that had
been. used very successfully in Europe,
and was becoming very celebrated for
curing certain diseases, took up one
of the metal disks at random and said

and sure enough, however severely
pricked her hand and forearm, she felt
no pain. Now said !, here IL the

your hand verv tender and sensible 10

back of her hand, snd after thst ]
couldn't touch her with the needle but
she would snatch her hand away and
shrek with pain. then wen. through
The same ceremony, using disks Of rubier
and othe non. metallic substances, and
got precisely the same results, II is
very curious, and vet there is nothing
really new in ii save the fact that have
demonstrated that the metals themselves
have nothing whatever to do with the
pbenomena."

Grapes ss Ree Feed

Every farmer living in fruit-growing
district should keep few swarms Of
bees, enough at least TO furnish honey
Tor his own table. There is an
abundance OF honey material in the
flower garden, In the meadow, in the
orchard and in the vineyard to support
half dessn swarms of bees on each farm
in the neighborhood. But, more espe.
cially should they be kept In sections
where the culture of the vine Is made q
speciality, for there can he no better
honey feod than ripe grapes, 1t is true
that the honey bee has not been pro
vided by nature with any means Of
puncturing the skin Of sound fruit, but
there is always more or less fruit with
broken or cracked skins, sufficient for
the bees 10 carry awsy. As far as any
difficulty might be concerned, few
bunches could be picked each day and
placed where the bees could find them,
the grapes first having been bruised or
the skins broken. First, in the spring,
would be the wild and tame flowers,
then the fruit flowers, then the ripe
rruit, and, finally, lasting until late in
the fall, the grape crop From this it is
easy to see how the hives would be filed
with honey, and the pleasure Of having
white comb honey for table use, saying
nothing of what would be sold, would
more than repay the cost and trouble.

With q mower, n man cuts ten acres OF

ultimately impoverishes the peopless well

lesson to all who take the trouble TO read
III Bsfere the war cotton culture made
one white family rich, and ten white
families poor in the cotton States.
Is not this paying too much for the
wealth and power that cotton gives to a
few in state or nation? With very
little toll or trouble, grass yields an
income in this country Of a
thousand million dollars year. In.

over estimating the importance of cotton,

Pratt Drys.s In Tennessee

1--WE had letter few days ago from
gentleman In Hartford, Conn, inauir.
ing about the feasibility OF erecting a
truit-drying establishment in this coun.
try. We have written and advised him
to do 30. We believe 1t will pay. and
now is the time TO do it. With our im>
mense crop coming on, fruit will be sold
st low prices. Such an establishment
will furnish employment for a large
number Of laborers, and will open up q
certain market to our farmers for their
fruit. Besides, we have learned upon
inquiry from one Of our leading retail
grocers, that fruit dried in this way is
worth in the New York market more
than double Of that dried in the ordi-
nary way. We will probably have a
response from the gentleman alluded TO
In q few days, and trust lie may be con.
vinced that this will be q profitable in
vestment. We are greatly in earnest in
having our fruit crop cared for. II will
be a source of revenue which we can not
afford to overlook in these hard times. -
