An Oriental Mesmerizer.

Strange stories come from India OF
the feats performed by native mes
merizer named BUM, whose magnetic
power would appear to be found quite
irresistible by the lower animals, upon
which he exclusively exerts it. He gives
seances, to which the public are invited
to bring all manner of ferocious and un-
tamable wild beasts, and holds them
with his glittering eye. In a few Sec
onds they subside into condition OF
cataleptic stiffness, from which they can
only be revived by certain passes which
he solemnly executes with his right
hand. A snake in state of virulent
irritation was brought to BUM by q
nlenagerie proprietor, enclosed in a
wooden cage. When deposited on the
platform it was writhing and kissing
fiercely. Buni bent over the cage and
liked his eye upon its occupant, gently
waving his hand over the serpent's rest
less head. In less than minute the
snake stretched itself out, stiffencd, and
lay apparently dead. Buni took it up
and thrust several needles into its body,
but it gavane sign of life. A few passes
then restored it to its former angry ac-
tivity. Subsequently savage dog, held
in a leash by its owner, was brought in,
and, at Buni's command, letloose upon
him. AS it was rushing toward him,
bristling with fury, he raised bis hand,
and in second the fierce brute dropped
upon its belly as though stricken by
lightning. 1t seemed absolutely para
lyzed by some unknown agency, and
was unable to move muscle until re-
leased from the magnetizer's spell by a
majestic wave of his hand.

What We Like to See.

A man worth $50, 900 who says that
he is too poor even to take the local
paper.
A man refuse to take his local paper,
and all the time sponge on his ncighbol
the reading oft.
A man run down his local paper as
not worth taking, and every now and
then beg the editor for favor in the
editorial line.
A merchant who refuses to advertise
in the home paper, and yet expects tc
get his share of the trade the paper
brings in town.
A man complain, when asked to sub.
scribe for his home paper, that he takes
more papers than he reads now, and
then 20 around and borrow his neigh.
boris, Or loaf about until he gets the
news from it.
Above all, the rich, misery man, who
cannot pay for lis local paper, yet who
is always around in time to read the
paper ut the. expense Of q friend, moi
worth the tenth part of what he himself
is, yet who is enterprising enough to
help support the paper.

Why We Butter Our Bread.

The layers of the wheat berry, as we
proceed toward the center, become more
and more completely starchy, and at the
center but little else is found, and this
portion makes our finest flour. The finer
the flour the less fit it is for nutrition.
In its natural state the wheat, with all
its components present, is not fitted ior
perfect human development. There is a
deficiency in the potential heat-produc-
ing materials, especially for cooler cli-
mates, there being only two per centum
of fat in wheat. Weinstinctively supply
this deficiency by the addition of fatty
bodies. We spread butter upon bread,
we mingle lard or butter with our bis
cult or cake, and the fat meat and bread
are taken alternatively or coincident-
ally. The starch, being n carbon hy-
dratc, can afford, comparatively but lit
tie heat in consumption, and the fats are
demanded by the wants of the system.

A New and Economical Method Of In.
toSicati0n

A New York lady has discovered why
men drink, and come home fuddled and
silly. and invented q means whereby the
same results may be secured without
losing their delightful society and COM
panionship. The secret she imparts to
all women who may be sufferers in body
or mind from the inebriate habits Of
their lords. In the evening, she says,
after we have sat together for some
time, and he says, " My dear, / have
some business to attend to and will be
back in an hour or two," I Say, John,
get up in the middle of the floor and
turn round and round for fifty times,
and it will do you just as much good as
going out to see about that business" i"
When he has turned round about thirty
times / say, "Stop, John; brace up;
take another" and rs soon as he stops
he tumb!es headtirst into Il corner, or
stands bowling 10 u:c and the furniture
quite in his Old way and 10 us good a
purpose. In d short time he comes to
himself with q flushed face, and perhaps
q slight headache, but with his money
all safe in his pocket. 1t is ridiculous
to see Him act in such q way, but not
more absurd than to find him trying to
come upstairs on the wrong side Of the
baluster, or engaged in conversation
with the hat-rack. Ifmy weary-hearted
sisters will coax their male relatives,
friends and acquaintances with proper
arguments, doubtless they will find
their account in so doing, and all will be
well. Dizziness is what men are after
when ,hey drink, and turning around
in the way speak of is the easiest and
cheapest way of becoming dizzy. If
our society shall receive encouragement
from the public it will soon put lectur-
ers in the field and carry the war into
Africa.

Somnambulism and Absence Of Mine.

It has been maintained that somnan-
bulism is a condition closely allied to
reverie or absence of mind. When we
are strongly pre-occupied with any sub
ject, the objects around us make no i'm
preston on our senses or On cur mine.
Archimedes, while meditating on dis
eeEery. was an entire stranger to all that
was going on around him. On one oo-
casion while so engaged Syracuse was
taken by the enemy, but he was not
diverted from his thought either by the
chant of victory of the conqueror, or BY
the cries and groans of the wounded and
dying. A person intently engaged in
reading will often answer questions
without suffering his train Of thoughtto
be interrupted. When he has ceased
his study, he is surprised when told that
he mas been conversing. When we are
walking in the street and thinking OF
some engrossing circumstance, we turn
the right corners and find ourselves
where we intended to 60 without being
able to recall any events connected with
the act of getting there. During state
of reverie the mind pursues train OF
reasoning often of the most fancitul
character, but still so abstract and in
tense. that though actions may be per-
formed by the body, they have no rela-
ton with the current of thought, but
are essentially automatic. Thus per-
son in this condition will answer ques-
tion, obey commands involving a.good
deal Of muscular exercise, and perform
other complex actions without disturb
ing the connection of his ideas. When
the state of mental pre-occupation has
disappeard there may be no recollection
of the acts that have been performed.
N the case of a person playing the piano
ana at the same time carrying on con-
versation we have striking illustra-
ton of the simultaneous performance of
a mental and an automatic act. The
mind is engaged with ideas, and the
spinal cord directs the manipulations
necessary to the proper rendering of the
musical composition. A person who is
not proficient in the use Of the instru-
ment cannot at the same time play and
converse with ease, because the spinal
cord has not acquired sufficient degree
of automatism, and the mind cannot be
divided in its action. Darwin has re-
corded striking example of the indie
pendentaction of the brain and the spinal
cord. A young lady was playing on the
piano very difficult musical compost
ton, which she performed with great
skill and care, though she was observed
to be agitated and pre-occupied. When
she had finished it she burst into tears.
She had been intently watching the
death struggles of favorite bird.
Though her brain was thus absorbed,
the spinal cord had not been diverted
from the office of carrying on the mus
cular and automatic actions &c pired
for her musical performanee.-Nltadel-

Hoare Bros Concert Troupe.

uoare Bros of Mineral Point, Wisconsin,
viii give a concert consisting of vocal and
instrumental music in the Methodist church
on Tuesday evening, October 5th.
FE. and NJ. NJ. Hoare have just returned
from Chicago to Mineral Point accompanied
BY Madame Emile Schiller, Flutist in the
"Hershey School Of Musical Art" Nine.
Schiller comes out to Wisconsin to spend a
few weeks vacation from professional duties
in Chicago, at the home of her pupil, Martin
Hoare. She has kindly consented 10 play with
Hoare Bros in a few concerts TO be given
next week a. Lancaster, Platte,ile Darling
ton and Mineral Point. Her reputation as a
hutist Is even greater in Europe than in
America. She has performed in the Cham>
Der concerts Of nearly every Court in Europe
She studied with Suessmann, Drouet and
Bphm, the three great masters Of the flute.
She seldom performs for less than one hun
bred dollars an evening aud her visiting these
places will afford a mos. remarkable treat. -
She PLAYS with wonderful expression and her
execution with double and triple touguing
never fails TO win the admirations Of the
best musical critics Hoare Bros have also
secured the services Of Mr.. J. L. Johnston

and passenger apartments will both
be under the same roof. The iacil.
tiles for transferring freight in Ga.
lena are now very nearly completed
Ample eide track has been put in,
the standard guage track on the
river bank running down an inclined
plane, so that the Cara stand five
feet lower than the narrow guage
care, making it convenient to trans.
fer freight from the latter to the
former. The amount of freight the
road is handling exceeds all the cal.
eulations that were made by our
enthusiastic figures when the road
was being constructed. 1t is not
uncommon for twenty five car
loads to come to Gslena ia q single
day. All the mineral raised at Milf
fin is being shipped down from
Rewey, the latter place only four
miles from Miffiin, with a good road,
whereas the mineral was formerly
hauled TO Mineral Point, distance
OF eleven miles, over very bad
road. The mineral from Highland
and Centreville will eventually
come this way, which, in addition
to the grain and live stock from
those fertile prairies, will nuke
large and constantly increasing
freight business. An average Of
ten car leads of lumeer are taken
out from Gslena daily. and ABOUT
as many more are taken from
Woodman, on the Wisconsin river.
The standard gunge extention from
Monttort to Madison is being pushed
rapidly forward, and track.laying
will be commenced next week at
the Madison end of the road. The
line will soon be extended from
Madison to Milwaukee, and when
this end of the road shall have been
changed to standard guage, as it
soon will be we shall have direct
line of railroad to Milwaukee.
For the interests of Galens it was
a Fortunate circumstance that the
Chicago and Northwestern Com
psny got possession of this road,
and placed its management in
charge of man of energy and push
like Superintendent J. B. Trull.
Since Mr.. Trull came here he hes
had business enough on his hands
to drive an ordinary man crazy,
and yet he has been uniformly cour.
teous to the public and kind to those
under his charge, which has won for
him the esteem of our people,
