p.orie susceptible to aypnot,.m.

Persons OF a nervous constitution, and
In particular those subject to hysteria,
are most apt TO fall into artificial sleep.
There is then produced in them a pecu.
liar neurosis, hypnotism, having psychi-
cal and physical characters of its own-a
genuine disease presenting a diversity of
symptoms. Hence hypnotic phenomena
ought not to be called forth rashly nor
without the precautions suggested by
medical science. Women are specially
susceptible to hypnotic manipulation. par
ticularly during the period between the
18th and the Both year, when the ner-
yous system is in full activity. Young
men may DO ~hypnotized, but it is very
difficult to produce hypnotic sleep in old
men OF in children. Persons who in early
life are subject TO natural somnambulism
or sleep Walking are later in life good
hypnotic subjects, Just as they are also
likely to be victims of hysteria and other
nervous complaints,
Many are the processes employed for
producing hypnosis. One that is very
frequently used consists in fixing the gaze
upon some bright object placed a little
above the eyes and i'm front of the median
line of the forehead, so that visual fatigue
may ensue quickly, the eyeballs being
directed upward and inward. This pro-
cess, or Others of a like kind, may be en-
ployed in the case of persons who have
never before been hypnotized. But after
awhile, when the subject has, SO to speak,
been educated. various more expeditions
methods may be employed. Thus a jet

on a gong near the easof the subject will
quickly induce sleep. Again. in hypno-
tzable persons, the surface Of the body
often presents special points, ''hypnogenic
zones, " as they are called, analogous to
the ''hysterogenic zones" Simple pres
sure upon these produces hypnosis.
Even in the case Of the most susceptible
individuals rarely does sleep appear when
they. for the first time, undergo the hyp-
nothing manipulations, however. skilled

A Plucky Frontier Woman.

On the plains, in Assiniboin, / found a
little lady in the larger Of the only two
stores in the place, who told me that the
Indians on a reservation close by had
begun to grow restless, and were mani.
Testing the fact by unusual insolence.
Only the day before a dozen of the braves
had come into the store. when she was
stark alone in it, and had demanded
whisky, a commodity they were not al.
lowed to touch and no one was permitted
10 sell. She told them she had none.
and they sat, as Indians will, for a long
time, as If 70 show her they would not
go away until they got it. Curiously
enough, no \ came TO the store from
the settlement. BY and by the Indians
proposed to search for the whisky. She
laughed at them and told them they
could search. They did so, peeping and
poking everywhere that they could think
Of. When they offered to 60 up stairs
IN her living apartments, she stood in the
doorway and told them they must not
venture there. She latsened her back
against the door and defied them.
She was less than the ordinary height,
and did not weigh over 100 pounds, but
she quailed them with the eye Of a brave
and determined woman, and when, pres
emily, some white men came to make
purchases the Indians took themselves
off. Only a few nights before that this
same woman had seen a wolf in her
back yard, and had gone out and
'shooed' it away with her apron and
scolding, just as n Of our girls might
do TO O cat. / never saw q man that l
thought more plucky than she. Per-
haps, though. what no Indian or wolf
could do might be done bya mouse But
it is beyond all reason TO expect the
bravest not TO fear a mouse. Albany

Swiss and French soldiers.


There is very little contrast between
the Swiss and French soldier. Both are
below the stature Of the German. Eng.
lish and American soldier; inferior intel
lectually and physically. The Swiss war
rior wears a cap helmet, which makes
him look at once like a member of a
rural band in America. 1t is Of black
cloth, with deep blue trimmings and
with black silk braid about the edges.
The front is cocied and the rear slopes
and has the helmet brim. He wears q
navy blue cutawty coat, dark gray pam
falcons, and each is decked with a very
narrow red cord. At his side is a short,
heavy sword always. His side arms are
completed by Rvs-shot 42-calibre re-
%volver, heavy enough to be used as a
bludgeon in close quarters. Also, like the
French soldier. the Swiss is armed with a
magazine needle gun, and is given SO
much active training that he is invariabiy
a fair marksman. In this, as nearly all
continental armies, there is by govern
ment authority an inducement for sob
diers TO become fine marksmen. But
the pay Of the continental soldier IL so
low and generally his service so nearly
mental that he takes little interest in what
he does. The pay is about one-fourtb
that Of the American soldier and less thar
half of that paid the English.-Cor. Phila-

The Supply Of Peanuts.

The supply of peanuts comes almost
wholly from Virginia, Tennessee and
North Carolina. Virginia is the hammer
peanut growing state, averaging 2,000,-
900 bushels yearly. Tennessee comes
next with an average of 500, 900 bushels,
and North Carolina's production averages
5000 bushels. The estimated supply
for 1888 is $500, 900 bushels, which in
cludes the nearly 600, 900 bushels of last
years crop which still remain in the
market. New York Mail and Express.

They report an occurrence on the

which will probably furnish North

material. When the train left Au.
gusta it was crowded, and many of
the men passengers stood up and
gave their seats to ladies. Still some
Of the ladies cosld not secure seats
and several of the white men went
to two negro men, who were CONF
fortably seated, and asked them in
polite way if they would not vacate
their seats and allow the ladies to
sit down. The negroes replied in
an iosolent manner that they had
paid for their tickets and proposed
to retain their seats. No amount Of
persuasion would induce them to
change their decision, and finally the
white men informed them that they
had ten minutes in which to vacate.
At the expiration Of that time the
white men forcibly removed them, at
the same time giving them a few
raps with walking canes. The ne.
groes made but little resistance, but
great many threats. .-Greenville

negroes say they are not restricted

what has been accorded them, and
