Mexico a Good NeIrhhor.

Do we want Mexico2 Perhaps it would
be hard to make the man who has never
been there understand that we do not. 1t
is a rich country, and will develop yet
greater wealth. 1t grows every fruit and
crop grown on the globe. Portions of it
grow four crops a year-two of wheat,
one of corn and one of beans or pepper
and continues to do so year after year for
centuries. By lying 50 far south it will
never, no matter under what rule or cir
cumstances, become like the United States
in habits, customs or ways of thinking.
Mexico will, however, in time make a
good neighbor. President Diaz is friendly
to this nation, which, under Mexican
rule, means a good deal. There should be
a still further increase of the American
population there, who, when they con.
form to established habits and customs,
will make money. American houses have
started and failed, but they failed because
the managers insisted that things should
be don the American way and not the
Mexican way. 1t would have been a mir,
acle If they had not failed -Mcxico Cor.

Joseph Smiths Golden Plates"

A false impression prevails in many
quarters that the Mormons pretend to
Joseph smith in the Hili of Cumorah.
This Is no such thing. They have only
the testimony Of the three witnesses-the
last of whom, David Whitmer, died re-
Gently In this state-that they saw and
handled the plates, and it is their testi-
mony which has given such strong sub
sanitation to the statements of Joseph
Smith. The first prophet held the plates
only long enough 10 transeribe their con-
tents, reading them as he did by means of
the Trim and Thummim. After hat the
plates disappeared as mysteriously as they
had come into existence, and no living
prophet or follower of Joseph Smith now
knows anything about them.-H. r. Law

The Origin of Pottery wnrs.

Every man, no doubt, used his gourd as
n gourd alone. But as time went on he
began at last, apparently, to employ it as
a model for pottery also. In all proba-
bility his earliest lessons in the fictile art
were purely accidental. 1t is a common
trick with savages to put water to warm
on the camp fire in q calabash or gourd
with wet clay smeared over the bottom to
keep it from burning. Whenever the
clay thus employed was fine enough to
form n mold and bake hard in shape, it
would cling to the gourd. and be used
time and again in the same way without
renewal, till at last it came to be regarded
almost as a component part of the COM
pound vessel. Traces of this stage in the
evolution of pottery still exist in various
outlying corners of the world. Savages
nave been noted who smear their dishes
with clay; and bowls may be found in
various museums which still contain more
or less intact the relics of the natural OBJ
ject on which they were modelled. In one
case the thing being imbedded in the clay
bowl is a human skull, presumably an
enemy's.
In most cases, however, the inner gourd
or calabash, in proportion as it was well
coated up to the very top with Il good
productive layer of clay, would tend to
get burned out by the heat of the fire in
thec course of time; until at last the idea
would arise hat the natural form was
nothing more than a mere mold or model,
and hat the earthenware dish which grew
up round it was the substantive vessel.
As soon as this stage of pot making was
arrived at, the process of firing would be-
come deliberate, instead of accidental,
and the vessel would only be considered
complete as soon as it had been subjected
to u great heat which would efTectually
burn out the gourd or calabash imbedded
in the center.-Grant Allen in Popular
Science Monthly.

A FRIGHTFUL SKIN DISEASE.

Cuticura Resolvent, one box Cuticura Salve,
and one cake Cuticura Soap, for my son, aged

believe the remedies have cured him. His
sufferings were intense, his head being nearly
raw, his ears being gone xceptthe gristle, and
his body was covered with sores. His condi-
ton was frightful TO behold. The sores have
now all disappeared, his skin is healthy, eyes
bright, cheerful disposition andworking every

The traveller is often rudely shocked by
the contrast between the reality OF the
present and the ideal picture of the IN
cient Arcadian life of the rural districts
or the intellectual and artistic life of
Athens. But doubtless if we could be
transported back to ancient Greece. we
should find much that would not please
us in the daily life of the people. Men
may say, "Tis Greece. but living Greece
no more;' it is still an enchanted land for
me. No other civilized country withdraws
the visitor so far from the ordinary rou-
tine of the present; 10 other land affords
80 many suggestions of the life of the an
clients from whom our civilization comes.
| am sure that | understand Greek art
better because of my life for u few weeks
under the Athenian sky. A few DAYS in
Peloponnesus, and a few moro in Central
Greece, gave me a clearer comprehension
of Greek political history. The Homeric
age seems more of a reality after n study
of the ruins of Tiryns and Mycene. The
pastorals of Theocritus nave new life and
meaning when the traveller hears the shep-
herds pipe and rustic singers vie in amoe-
bean strains, while he eats bread and milk
from the wooden bowls which his hosts
lave carved.
A few of. the ancient customs survive.
The lover of Homer is delighted to find
that the Greeks still throw back the head
to express dissent or refusal, and thai the
trim maid still pours water on the visitors
hands. Some old superstitions ave re-
manned, notably that of telling a disturb
ing dream to the rising sun, in order that
the threatened i'll may be averted. No
land is more thickly peopPd with fairies
and every kind of benevolent and malig-
nant spirits than the Greece of today.
Doubtless many of the ecclesiastical Gus
toms of the present nave been nodded
by the superstitions of the past.-Thomas
d. Seymour in Scribner's Magazine.

DR.. A. Dichas has made a detailed IS.
az the memory in the hypnotic state,
summarizes his main conclusions suuis
what as follows: % during the hypnotic
sleep the subject remembers the expCr-
fences of his w, king life rs well as of
previous hypnos IS; (2) in hypnotisn there
Is often an eNalt ton of the memory and
at times n chang in it's content, leading
to the assumpti IL of a foreign person

going on during hypnosis is usually lost,
it can often be revived by a simple sug-
gestion. and at times the memory Of a
suggested hallucination may lInger on,
and influence the waking condition. ()
the operator can at his win have any of
the acts of the hypnotic state remem
bered or forgotten by making this a part
of the suggestion; (5) suggestion seems to
be largely applicable as unconscious
memory.
DR.. Cybulski has studied the power of
hypnotic subjects to hypAotize them
selves. He finds that such subjects
strongly imagine for a minute or less that
that the operator commands them to go
to sleep, and the desired result ensues.
Furthermore, If the subject, on going to
sleep, imagines himself controlled BY a
certain person, then, even though another
sent him to sleep, he will be subject to
the former, and not to the operator.
These observations show the Importance
of the subjective element in the process
of hypnotism, and Indicate the method by
which the subject unconsciously takes
suggestions and acts upon them. DR..
Berkhan has applied hypnotism to the
amelioration of the hearing of the leaf
He tested the hearing of nine deaf boys,
and, after hypnotizing them, spoke to
them and had various noises made before
them. The hearing of four of them was
found to be improved, and the improve.

one c. r. Carter, alias Angel, Offering a reward
of $50 for this service. Carter is wanted in Mis-
sour, where he was convicted Of murder, and .
reward of 81, 800 is offered for his capture. This
fact was ascertxined by other parties, who made
an effort to get ahead of Mr. Peace and secure
the large reward, but our Sheriff was too sharp
for them. He had taken the precaution to wire
the authorities of Missouri and was appointed by
the Governor Is agent of that State to receive the
prisoner from the Georgia oficials and convey
him 10 Missouri. Sheriff Pearce has returned
from Savannah, where Carter Is still in Jail,
awaiting the arrival of an officer from Missouri
to identify him, when Mr. Pearce will take his
man 70 that State and receive his reward.
