A. FINANCIAL GENIUS William Z. SEQ
vii, of New York, possesses a genius for
finance that is quite equal if not superior to
Mr.. Ferdinand Wards. He was clerk in

week, and yet he lived in a $4,000 man.
sion maintained in the most magnificent
style; drove his brokers about in handsome
carriages, and took deals in Wall street
that often amounted 10 100000 II is not
every man that can make $40 a week go so
far or do so much. Mr. Scovils way of
doing it was simple enough His employer
was rich and coniiding Mr. Scovil alb
stractcd his bonds from his safe, forged his
signature, and put them up for margins
with New York brokers The market went
his way. and he rapidly got rich His en-
pioyer didn't miss the bonds because very
neat counterfeits had been put in their
place. If Scovil had not unfortunately
been " bear" during the past few weeks,

The distinguishing feature OF the earlier
stages OF mesmerism in man, says Profess
scr Langley in Popular Science MouhLy. is
that by slight stimulation any one center
can be easily set in violent activity, and its
activity easily stopped, without the activity
spreading to other distant centers It is on
this that the mesmeric phenomena usually
exhibited depend with most of these phe-
nomena you are no doubt familiar, so that
| need mention one or two only.
Complicated refeXes may be produced in
various ways, just as we have seen is the
case with frog even when without its
cerebral hemispheres. Thus Braid mentions
that on one occasion an old lady who had
it sinful pastime, when mesmerized be-
gan to dance as soon as waltz tune was
played.
A statement made to a subject will often
produce implicit belief notwithstanding
the evidence of his senses. | remember
telling subject that | was about to bring
hot body near his face and he was to tell
me when it was painful. ! put my finger
on his cheek, upon which he cried out VIC
lently that | was burning him. When he
was awakened he remembered that | had
touched him with something very hot
The idea l had given him was remem-.
bered, the evidence Of his sense of touch
was disregarded
There are certain attitudes which we
usually assume under the influence of GER
tain moods or ideas from each of the
muscles concerned in bringing about any
one attitude, impulses travel up the brain.
and give rise to a definite muscular sensa-
ton which comes, therefore, to be aSsocia-
ted with a particular mental mood In
mesmerzed people the production of a
definite muscular sensation not infrequently
produces i'll the mind the mood with which
1t is, in the wakeful state associated. At
the same time ideas may be produced cor
responding to the mood, and the ideas may
give rise to particular actions. such as laugh
ing, crying, fighting
If the head is pushed back and shoulders
opened out, the face assumes a look full of
pride or haughtiness, and, if the subject be
asked what he is thinking about, he will
give some answer indicating what fine
fellow he fancies himself to be. If, then,
the head is bowed and the shoulders con-
tracted, the aspect of the face changes to
one of humility and pity. Occasionally it
happens that a slight pressure on a single
which causes it to contract, will by
an irradiation of nerve-impulses produce
the muscular sensations proper to a group
of muscles, and this will give rise TO the
associated frame of mind. Thus very diff
fcrent feelings may be made to rapidly sue
coed one another in the mind of the subject
by simply pressing on various muscles of
the head and neck. At first such an ex-
pertinent looks like q revival of the now
happily-forgotten phrenology.

The learned editor of the Herald has
been giving some talk to the farmers of
King county which, merely lacks truth,
sense and grammar to be appreciated.
Specimen chunks of this editorial Wis
dom, selected at random, will be found
oelow:
HOW $4,000 CAN BE SAVED.
Not less than $4,000 is sent annually
from this city to California in payment
for vegetables which could be raised at
40 pe If our farmers living close to town
would give little of their attention to
the subieot of mixed farming.
THE DIFFERENCE 81 ,0O0, 600 WOULD MAKE.
In the aggregate at least a million
dollars IL sent away every year which,
II retained at hume, would make all the
difference imaginable Ia business.
GOOD, BIT INooMPREHENsIBLR.
A garden covering two or three acres
OF farms on the Duwamish or White
river would prove very profitable, and
can as We'll DO cared for as any other
portion Of the farm.
FARMERs SHOULD GROW A COUPLE OF
ROOTS AND ONIONS.
Where farmer has ten acres Of hops
he should have four of potatoes, i've or
six OF oats and barley, and couple of
roots and onions.
CHEAP POTATOES.
Potatoes at twenty i've cents a Eushel
IS profitable crop on Puget Sound.
AND CHEAPER HOGS.
Should they go below that price they
can be fed to the hogs, which are worth
from four to seven and half on foot
and twelve and fifteen cents cured.
