give free exhibition Of his skill.
He bet one of the party that he could

he could not leave the room without
taking his finger down. The other
man took the bet. The mesmerist
made him shut his eyes, made a few

the hand grasp the nose Of the man.
Then, with few more mystic passes,

the most effective remedy is for the
young lady to retort by persistently
staring at the male starer's feet, and
assuming an amused expression Of
countenance as though looking at
something funny. Naturally, every

SODA FOR BURNs.-All kinds Of
burns, including scalds and sunburns,
are almost Immediately relieved by
he application of a solution OF so da
to the burn-surface. IL must be re-
membered that dry soda will not do
unless it is surrounded with a cloth
moist enough to dissolve it. The
method of sprinkling it on and cover
ing it with a wet cloth is often the very
best. But it is sufficient to wash the
wound repeatedly with a strong solu-
ton.
