chapter to young lady in Virginia and
she was SO much pleased that she re-
queste him to send her all the story,
which he did, and she is now regular
reader of the CHRONICLES.

and the publisher that the CHRONICLE
shall come to the front asarepresenta-

nized as expressive. of So6lhern literary
taste as well as Southern political
opinion. There is no reason why this

An excellent relief for hiccough for
young and old is granulated sugar moist
ened with pure vinegar. For an infant
give from a few grains to a teaspoontul.
Put five drops of chloroform on a little
cotton or wool in the bowl of a clay pipe,
then blow the vapor through the stem
into an aching ear and instant relief Will
be afforded.
The French method of administering
castor oil to children is to pour the Oil
into a pan over q moderate fire; break an
egg into it and stir up. When it is done
flavor with a little salt or sugar or r
rant jelly.
Walking, running, horseback riding,
lawn tennis, swiroming, rowing, skating,
bowling, hand-ball and general gymnas-
tics are the exercises best adapted TO
girls, and, for that matter, to any persons
who wish a healthful and well-ba!anced
rather than an abnormal physical devel-
opment.
The Medical Times says that a good
way to remove irritating PARTICLES from the
eye is to take q horse hair and double 1t,
leaving a loop. If the object can be seen,
lay the loop over it, close the eye, and
the mote will come out as the hair is with
drawn. If the irritating object cannot be
seen, raise the lid of the eye as high as
possible and place the loop as far as you
can, close the eye and roll the ball around
"a few times, draw out the hair, and the
substance which caused the pain will be
sure to come with it.

Kilanea's BOttOmless Crater.

Mr.. Charles M. Rowley, vice-president
of the Brush Electric Light company,
says in a recent private letter from
abroad:
"Mrs. Rowley, my son Charles and
myself, with seven other ladies and
gentlemen from eAustralia, visited the
great volcano known as Kilanea, on the
Island of Hawaii, five hundred miles
from Honolulu, and nearly 5000 miles
from San Francisco. We left Honolulu
by steamer, and after a stormy voyage OF
two days landed in Hawaii, and thence
went ON mules over thirty miles of lava
beds until we reached the crater of klla-
nea, now seven thousand feet above the
sea. We descended at night into the
crater, and walked a distance of three
miles over lava until we reached
the burning lake. This was very
active, and we sat for hours
on the brink of the great lake
of fire, which was at least
three miles long by one and a half wide.
The waves of fire were running very
high, often one hundred feet, while erup-
tons were of frequent occurrence, throw
ing molten lava into the air hundreds OF
feet with a noise that was deafenlng.
"Now for our narrow escape. This en-
tire lava area, including miles around the
lake, the very spot where we sat down
and passed hours, the three miles of path
way across the lava beds upon which we
walked, within forty-eight hours after
we left was completely destroyed, the
whole having fallen in, ~leavins an open
crater miles in extent and apparently
fathomless. This was followed by forty
three distinct shocks of earthquake, last
ing for a period of fourteen hours. The
whole party felt thankful at their narrow
escape from an awful doom, and will re-
member the rest of their days how near
they came to a journey to the centre
of the earth"

The Dangers of Mesmerism.

DIR. A. Ransome, the chairman, and
DR.. Emry-Jones and Mr.. T. G. Abbott,
the secretaries of the Manchester and
Stafford (England) Sanitary association,
have forwarded to the press the follow
ing statement, drawn up at the request of
the committee: Exhibitions of the phe-
nomena of mesmerism have become very
frequent of late, and many people have
been trying experiments in private in ref
erence to the same matter. 1t appears to
the committee of the Sanitary associa-
ton very important that public attention
should be called to the dangers arising
out of such tampering with the highly
organized and nervous system of many
people. It is possible that in some cases
trickery may be made subservient in some
of the exhibitions in question, but with
out entering into the difficult and still
obscure physiology of the mesmeric state,
it will be sufficient to point out that
in this condition, when really at
tanned, the will of the subject
is, for the time, in abey-
ance, and his actions, and even his SEN
~sations and ideas are entirely under the
control of the person operating. By tre-
quent repetition of the operation the sub
mission to the influence becomes more
facile, and it's action is intensified. More
over, there appears to be developed a ik-
ing for the mesmerized state, SO that the
subjects present themselves willingly for
experiment, and it becomes quite easy for
persons in no way connected with the
first operator to throw these persons into
such a condition that they are entirely
under their power, in which they cannot
resist any indignity, and can be made to
commit any act, however outrageous, at
the command of almost any person who
may choose to assert imperiously such
power. It will readily be seen how dan
gerous is such a condition, not only to
the subjects themselves, but also to the
public at large. Women especially, for
their own sakes, should be warned never
to permit themselves to be placed in dan
ger of submitting their will to this para
lying influence, seeing that they may be-
come the slaves, not only of the first
operator, but of other less scrupulous per-
sons.
