In one of the largest and most fashion
able of luncheon rooms, where hurried
eaters grab at the edibles most tempting
ly within reach, the consumption Of
roast beef was insignificant; and this
was particularly displeasng to the pro-
prietor because he had an advantageous
contract for beef. The wreck of a port
ly, middle-aged Englishman floated in
to beg for something to eat. The restau-
rant keeper hired him for few dollars a
week, dressed him WELL shaved his face,
combed his hair, and made him look like
well fed Briton, of prosperous sort.
Then he brought his biggest roasts of
beef right out in sight, posed him as a
carver behind them, and was soon selling
500 pounds day. The English aspect
of the man who welded the knife and
fork had the expected effect. Fellows
who had never thought of ordering so
substantial Wand as roast beef for
luncheon now crowded to the counter
behind which the Englishman sliced it
off SO spectacularly. -MeW York Sun.

A W0nd erful Canyon.

"Did you ever notice what a great

A FrightYuI EXperience.

A veteran of the war, who was not par
ticularly remarkable for his bravery in
the ranks, but who, nevertheless, is in
receipt of comfortable pension, was re-
lating his experience as a soldier.

was asked.

HOW to MesmeriZp

j. N. Langley says in the Popular
Science Monthly: | will show you the
method of mesmcrizing, which is, per.
haps, on the whole, most effective; it is
very nearly that described by Baird. |
have not time to attempt mesmcric
experiment tonight; it is the method
only which l wish to show you. With
one hand a bright object, such as this
faceted piece of glass, is held thus,
eight to twelve inches from the subject,
so that there is a considerable converg-
ence of the eyes, and rather above the
level of the eyes, so that he is obliged
to look upward. The subject is told TO
look steadily at the piece of glass, and
to keep his whole attention fixed upon it.
This position is kept up for five or ten
minutes; during this time the pupils
will probably diate considerably, often
assuming slight rhythmic contraction
and dilation; when this is the case, tho
free hand is moved slowly from the OBJ
ject toward the eyes. If the sub ect is
sensitive, the eyes will usually close
with vibratory motion. In some cases
the subject is then unable to open them,
and the usual mesmeric phenomena can
be obtained. If, when the operator
brings his hand near the eyes of the sub
ject, the subject instead of closing them
follows the movements of the fingers, the
whole proceeding is repeated but the
subject is told to close his eyes when the
fingers are brought near them, but to
keep them fixed in the same direction as
before, and to continue to think of the
object and that only. The operator then
for some minutes makes "passcs, bring
ing his warm hands over and close to the
face of the subject in one direction.
When the subject is inclined to pass into
the cataleptic state, an indication of his
condition may be obtained by gently
raising his arm; if he is beginning to be
mesmerized, the arm remains in the
position in which it is placed. If the
arm falls, the mesmcric state may not in
frequently be FASTENED on by telling the
subject to keep his arm extended while
he is still gazing at the object, or while
the passes are being made. And that is
the whole of the process. The man thus
mesmerized sinks from manhood to a
highly complicated piece of machinery.
He is machine which for a time is CON
scious, and in which ideas can be excited
by appropriate stimulation; any one &C
quainted with the machinery can set it
in action

She Proposed Ovor the Cream.

Ice cream worked its delicate result
the other night. He had taken her to
the opera and filled her full of Italian
music. He had done the sweet and
pretty, and had not even kept his usual
appointments with men outside in the
pauses of the piece, and, last of all, he
took her to the ice-creamery. One would
have imagined that something more
earnest in character than ice cream would
have been required after dose of tragic
opera, but no, the simple frost was good
enough for her. Over the dainty dishes
they grew fond. They had just admired
a handsome turnout at the theatre door.
"When l get married l mean to have
just such turnout for my wife"
She gave gentle sigh, and as the last
faint sweetness of big spoonful of
cream thrilled her young and sympa-
thetic palate she threw into her eyes a
beaming glance and whispered: "Give

She Shook Them.

81 saw something new up in Wiscon-
sin the other day. A patent medicine
man was selling something or other from
a carriage in which he had rather pretty
young woman and a gasoline lamp. The
lady sang one or two songs very sweetly,
and then the man talked and sold his
nostrum at dollar bottle.
"When he had disposed of thirty or
forty bottles he said: Now, gentlemen,
before bidding you good night, l will
give you an exhibition of the wonderful
magnetic powers of my wife, who sits
here by my side. hold in my hand q
common piece Of thread. Now one OF
you take hold of the end of it and walk
off and then let all the others take hold
of it, and at the signal which will give
she will take hold of the other end, and
you will feel the shock instantly.
'About $50 men and boys grasped the
thread and walked oil about half block
with 1t. Now keep perfectly quiet, and
you will feel the shock, delicate at first,
and then strong enough to Jingle at the
ends OF your fingers and toes. Are you
all ready2"
"They all said yes.
"'Well, then, l will put out the light,
said he, and my wife will take the
thread in her hand at that instant
The light went out and the mans
voice was heard: What have you in your
hand, my dearl'
"'The longest string of suckers | ever
saw in all my life, came in sweet, mu-
steal voice, and at the same moment the
horses and carriage were driven off at
great speed, leaving the crowd hanging on
to the string completely dumbfounded.
1T was the worst shock a good many
of those fellows ever got"

The hardy wood-chopper, who
has swung the glittering axe in the
mountains all Summer, is now here
for the Winter. These poor, un-
tutored children Of the forest live
like recluses all Summer, and al
most get lost to the wicked WAYS Of
the world. They come down here
as green as the leafy forest, but
when they get hold of four of a
kind or a flush hand they make
the city-bred man weary of cards
They buckle down to the seductive
stud-horse poker game and rake
in the ducats Of the unwary, and
graphing the tiger in his lair they
skin him clean to the tip of the
tail. A man with the quiet, sad
eyed visage of the wood-chopper
just from the quiet haunts of ma
ture, is well calculated to deceive
the careless student of physiognomy
and unless you have your sleeve
full of j,cks and aces you stand
mighty poor show.
