HYPNOTIC TRANCE.
A Force Acting Through the Patients
 Mind on His Physical Condition.

| A Force Acting Through the Patients | Mind on His Physical Condition.
 About a century ago, Mesmer, a na- tive of Switzerland, was able to induce a peculiar sleep by means of the now well-known passes" He professed to have discovered new force, to which he gave the name of animal magnet ism, but which most people call mes merism. In 1843, Braid, of England, scientifically investigated the truth that lay beneath the delusions and decep- tions of the mesmerists, and was soon independently followed in the same di- rection by Esdaille, in India, and Mitchell, in the United States.
 The patient, being made to fix his eyes steadily on bright object, about foot from his forehead and a short distance above it, sleep was induced in which all sensation was lost. Nu- merous surgical operations were per formed with absence of all pain. The celebrated Charcot performed many experiments of the kind on his hysterical patients at his famous hospital in Paris. The late Dr. Beard, of this country, devoted much time, with signal success, to scientific in- vestigation of the subject of the hypnotic state, and of hypnotism gen. orally. The word hypnotism, now usually employed, is from a Greek word signifying sleep. More lately there have been many contributions to the subject by German and French ex- perts, and some new conclusions have been reached. According to the new views the hypnotic condition is not one of lethargy, catalepsy nor som nambulism, but it is a normal nervous state, closely allied to natural sleep.
 The use of bright objects before the eyes is rejected and condemned as in- furious. The operator sitting before the patient, assures him confidently and pleasantly that he will soon be asleep, tells him to make no resist ance, and that he is already feeling drowsy. The patient falls asleep in from five to fifteen min utes. From eighty to ninety per cent. of the persons experimented upon can be thus hypnotized. The best subjects are persons of sound nervous constitu- tion. The most susceptible are chil- dren under fourteen years of age. Signal curative results have been ob- tained in rheumatism, neuralgia, alco- holism, morphine habit, various forms of nervous diseases and amenorrhoea. It is not always necessary that the patient be put fully to sleep. It is now thought by some investigators that mindcuring and the.new hypnotism are essentially the same thing. These results and the sleep itself are de- termined by the suggestions of the operator acting through the mind of the patient on his physical system. Youth's Conpanion.

Bound to be Unpopular.

"I think that MT. Smith is just as hateful as he can be-" said one pretty girl to her dearest friend the other day.
 ''Why, what's the matter?" asked the other, in surprise. ''I thought he was attentive to you at the party last night
 Yes" said the first pretty girl, spitefully, that's just what's the mat ter. We were out in the conservatory together, and nobody else was around. He had been just as pleasant and en- tertaining as man could be, and really couldn't help thinking what hand some fellow he was. 1t was real cozy and dark out there-and we were all alone, as said before-and he was sit ting just as and-and-"
 And he kissed you?" the other in- terrupted, eagerly.
 '.No," was the reply, "the mean, hor- rid. thing! He didn't. ."~-RocheStsr POst-Egpress,

commonplace. In the history of mod ern Europe, which is the history of the reconstruction of society upon the principles of nationality, political equality, and commercial equity, feud- alism having crumbled into ruins, there is no nobler chapter than that in which the unifcation of Italy is told. Garibaldi was the popular hero of that episode. The race whose heart beat true in Garibaldi, and whose head thought wisely in Cavour, if its char acter weakens not, will contribute generously to the civilization of the future.-W R.

HOUSE-CLEANING NOTES.
The Proper Way of Cleaning Carpets an6
 Washing WaII-Paper.

The Proper Way of Cleaning Carpets and
 Washing Wall-Paper.
 Beyond the regular weekly cleaning certain articles in a house, as well as the dwelling itself, must have a periodical overhauling on which their welfare and service depends. The in- tervals at which carpets should be taken up and thoroughly cleaned and beaten depends upon their texture and the frequency with which the apart ment where they are laid is used. In ordinary cases it is a good rule to take up Moquette, Administer and Wilton carpets once in three or four years, and Brussels and velvet once in two or three. The texture of these is so firm that the dust does not shift through, and sweeping will remove all that ac- cumulates upon the surface. Ingrain and three-ply carpets should be lifted annually, and if the room is very much used twice a year is not too often. The housekeeper will even then be astonish- ed to observe the accumulation of dust beneath.
 To many people it does not seem to occur that a carpet can be 1OGShed. They would be astonished to see what an improvement can be made in this way. Take gallon of water in which two ounces of carbonate of ammonia have been dissolved, and apply it with soft rag to each breadth. If there be any pronounced soils and satins, grease spots or other, procure from your butcher a pint of ox-gall. Mix it with three quarts of water and apply with soft scrubbing brush, taking care to rinse thoroughly afterwards with pure water.
 A large brush of ostrich feathers is, of course, the best thing to use in brushing down wall paper; but, as most housekeepers know, these are expen- sive and likely to be soon destroyed if entrusted to servants. A soft cloth tied over a broom is good substitute, and quite economical. If these do not remove the smoke or grime that accu- mulate, take a loaf of stale bread, divide it into quarters, and after moist ening the cut surfaces very slightly, proceed to rub your paper very care fully, beginning always at the ceiling and moving your hand downward in straight lines. The results will be surprising.
 All careful housekeepers secure an extra roll when having their walls papered. If by accident your walls are broken or defaced at any point cut piece of the new paper larger than the marred spot, be sure it matches perfectly, cut the edges irregularly or in points, and apply with little four paste (boiled); the eye will never trace the mended portion. If there are any spots of grease on your walls mix some Fuller's earth with little ox-gall and cold water until you have a stiff paste; spread it on the spot and cover with plotting paper; let it stand for several hours. If, on brushing it off any of the grease remains, repeat the operation r. Examiner.

WE are in receipt of bound copy o1 Ayers Almanac for 1889, embracing edi tions in ten languages. Specimen pages o1 pamphlets in eleven other tongues are also included. All the peoples thus represented have now an opportunity to read of the cures effected by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and Ayers Pills, so long standard family medicines in this country. The accuracy ofnthe astronomical calculations, as well as the other 0ulated matter contained in this work, commends it to all in need of valuable and reliable almanac Welmay add that the annual is- sue of Ayers Almanac is about fourteen milIions-far exceeding that of any other work of the kind This is certainly proof that both the almanac and the medicines it advertlses are appreciated by the world at large. The familiar yellow-covered pamphlet can now be had at all drug stores.-OUer- land NelDs.

How to Fatten Old Cows.

There is a widespread prejudice against COW beef. The butchers do not like it because fattened old COW has larger proportion of waste than a young animal, and as often fattened, the beef is apt to be tough. There are many exceptions to this, and some farmers claim to know how to fatten COWS so that their meat shall be tender and delicious. The main secret seems to be to fatten quickly and give a due proportion of succulent food. The high quality of English roast beef is largely due to feeding on roots or man. gels. Oil cake is better than Indian meal, for the reason that though rich it is not heating nor constipating. Feed enough roots, pumpkins or en. silage to keep the digestion good, and enough grain to fatten quickly. The best beef ever ate was that from an old COW that had been fattened mainly on refuse Hubbard squash in season when this vegetable was especially abundant and cheap. Philadelphia Preee

The vexatious bait question that has agitated the Gloucester fishermen for some time has been settled by the discovery of new allurement for cod fish. It is found by good test that the cod will bite at an artificial squid coat with anise seed oil. The test was made at a time when the fish were least likely to bite, and good catch was made. The bait is made of rub Der and will be manufactured so as to hide the hook.-Springfetd (MaSs. Republican,.

Three towns in Georgia, which were built about one hundred years ago at what was thought to be the head of navigation on Savannah river, and which bade fair to become great and prosperous, have been deserted and are now in ruins. They were the towns of Petersburg, Lisbon and Vien- ma. The cause of their downfall was the advent of steam navigation and railroads, which created new centers of commerce.

The New Wonder in Navigation.
Nau- VpylZ Tinoac

A new number of scientists, engineers,
and newspaper men assembled at Poll
Ions ship-yard, at the foot of Court
street, Brooklyn, recently, to watch the
launching Of John A Secor's VS. VS.
Eureka that is to be propelled by hishatc
tenn of atomized petroleum exploded by
electricity.
The motive power is applied directly
to the water through pipes at the bow
and stern and is the expansive or elastic
properties of oil gas. The cylinder or
pipe at the stern, is ten feet long and
twenty inches in diameter and is placed
just below and parallel with the surface
OF the water. The oil tank is surrounded
with jacket of water and is so construct
ed that only the malicious boring of a
hole in it could bring about the posi-
bility of sn explosion. The cylinder is
constructed to stand a strain of fifty
times as great as Is produced by the
heaviest possibly explosion of the atom
lied petroleum, and, in fact, every pre-
caution has been taken TO render the sye-
tenn absolutely safe. The machine is
automatic except for the small amount
of electricity needed to explode the gas.
The question OF speed and economy can
30 ldE only DC duSWtISu tnSOr0ElSdllY
There is no latent heat or friction in this
machine to waste 95 per cent. of its pro
pelIing power, and as the power applied
at the end of this cylinder is said
TO be seventy pounds TO the square irch,
and the area of the oritice is 314 square
inches, the total amount of power is 81,
$50 pounds. As HasweIl says that push
of 1000 pounds will move boat 100
fest in length and twelve feet beam
(the Eureka's dimensions) sixteen knots
per hour, Mr.. Seccr's boat should plow
along at the dizzy speed of nearly Gig hty-
eight knots. The forward pipe is to be
used for backing and stopping the ves-
sci, and Mr.. Secor expects it to be a big
feature of his invention. The trial trip
of the Eureka is 10 Jked forward to, with
great interest.
