Artificial Somnambulism.

When artificial somnambu lism is
cept as it is revived by suggestions
from the operator. Anesthesia is so
complete that a large number of the
gravest surgical operations have been
performed under it. In fact, artificial
ansesthesia was first induced in this
manner, before the use of ether or
chloroform became known. No death
is known from this anmsthetic; some-
thing which cannot be said of any of
the chemical hypnotics. The only OBJ
lection to the employment of this in
preference to chloroform and ether is
the fact that only limited number of
persons can be thus influenced. and
that a considerable time is necessary to-
put the subject under it.
The more confidence the operator
has in his own ability, and the greater
the belief of the patient in the alleged
powers of the operator. the more often
and the sooner will these effects be
brought about. With every repetition
of the process the easier will the effects
be induced. Some subjects are liable
to 60 into the condition at will, by
simply concentrating the attention on
one subject for a very few minutes. :
The so-called ''trance speakers"
(when not arrant frauds) are examples
of self-induced artificial somnambu-
lism. The late DR.. Geo. M. Beard, of
New York, devoted great deal of at
tention to the subject of ''trance," un-
der which term he included all varieties
of somnambulism, natural and artifi-
cial. He thought any strong Impress
ion on the mind-such as terror, won
der, expectation, etc.-was sufficient to
abolish the powers of a large number
of the brain cells, while section of
them became unnaturally active; and
that the phenomena of serpent charm
ing showed that the same influences
worked upon the lower animals as up
on men. In the somnambulistic condi-
ton the memory is sometimes almost
incredibly exalted; words, sentences,
whole pages of books, heard or read
but once, are sometimes repeated with
the accuracy of the monograph. The
faculty OF language may be greatly ex-
alted-persons who have never shown
any such tendency may speak in rhyme
for hours, or use the choicest words,
whose ordinary language is of the most
commonplace order. Similar devia-
tions from the ordinary methods of ex-
preston have been noted in persons
under tho influence of opium. alcohol,
and Indian hemp, as we'll as in mental
arrangement. They are in no way
proofs of anything supernatural. New
combinations of ideas are formed, but
absolutely nothing new has been added
to the stock of human knowledge by
these remarkable differences. The Py-
thoness of Delphi and other wonderful
oracles of the elder times are probably
rhyming somnambulists of this order,
who were under the direction and con-
troll of cunning priests.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1876, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture of the James Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over foe hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son of this increase is this: In the James
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while the re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, combination pro-
ducing watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. ~ .
Over 200, 1000 of these cases & x
have been sold, and every jeweler in the

A False SUSPICION.

Pretty little Katie Wilde lives on one
of the small streets leading off Harrison
avenue, near Dover streets. Boston.
She is just past years of age, and
people who know her are at loss
whether to call her 3 witch or fairy.
Her mother is q widow who works in
store down town. AS Mrs. Wilde is
away all day Katie runs around the
streets, now doing little acts of kind
ness and then cutting up mad pranks
over which she will laugh and shout
until she is fairly tired out One cold.
foggy evening, just at the hour. OF
nightfall when daylight and darkness
hung over the city in alternate bands of
gray and brown, and neither seemed
willing to yield to the other, she came
Tripping up Washington street, her
little red feet going patter. patter. on
the cold pavement, so fast that, to
count her footballs, it would seem at
least as if a dozen children were COM
ing. Under her thin, gray waist she
carried brown paper parcel, to which
she would glance anxiously as she ran,
to the great risk of going plump against
some sedate old traveller who was too
slow to get out of her way. When she
got beyond Kneeland street she turned
up to an open window of fancy goods
store, and, hastily shaking her head
to scatter the masses of curly brown
hair from her line of vision, she shaded
her eyes with her hand and looked in
among the customers for minute. 1t
was but minute, and then she was away
like the wind. In running she dropped
her parcel, and, going back to pick it up,
q policeman had her by the sho ulder.
':Now I've caught you," said he,
sternly. "What did you do that forp"
"Do what sirp" was the reply, turn
ing up her large black eyes to him and
looking like some wild animal just
caught in trap. Mother is coming;
please let me 20 home"
''Who is your mother?'
''She is Mrs. Wilde, and she works
in that store" pointing to tho store
she had just left. ''She is 80 years old
to-day. and Ralph gave me twenty-five
cents that he had earned selling papers,
and I have just bought her birthday
present. see her putting on her
shawl now. Please let me go, sir;
want to pet home before her and have
the lamp lighted and my picture on
the table beside it when she comes"
The policeman looked at the wrapper.
! It bore the name of firm on fremont
street. Inside was bright chrome
representing two children browning
woman with wreath of amaranth, and
underneath was printed, "Our very
dear mother.
"Here, sis, take it and skip" said
the kind officer. ''You are right and
l am wrong. But could have sworn
two minutes ago that I saw you grab it
out of that store window"
Katie was out of hearing long before
he finished his speech, and when her
mother came along walking very fast,
a minute later, he had half mind to
go up to her and apologize for the in
Justice he had done her child.

Buddhism.

In Ernest Remains latest work, '.New
Studies in Religious History he al
ludes thus to Buddhism: "A doctrine
which assigns to life as its supreme end
nothingness; doctrine which pro-
claims that the elimination of perfec-
ton is the humiliation of life; one in
which man is represented as the high
est term of creation; in which the idea
of Supreme Being appears only at q
late period, is such an extraordinary
phenomenon that our mind can only
conceive its possibility with some diff
Guilty. And still such doctrine exists.
To make the paradox complete, this
doctrine, apparently the most despair
ing that has ever been professed, has
inspired prodigies of devotion in the
most various of races; the church of
Nihilism has remained to our days,
without notable schism, the most COM
pact religious body Of the East. This
is certainly most extraordinary fact
in the history Of the human mind.
Strange in its destiny. Buddhism is
still more so in its philosophy, its, doc
trine, its legend Of its founder, in the
odd style Of its sacred hooks z
