Hypnotism In a Swedish Court.

In one of the law courts of Helsinborg Sweden, a queer case of hypnotism has puzzled the judges. A young medical student brought suit against a practic- ing physician in the town for having hypnotized him several times against his will, with the result that his nervous system was injured and his mind some- what enfeebled. Several witnesses ap- peared for the plaintiff, and, to the as- tonishment of the court, they all ap- peared to be crazy and gave the most contradictory and astounding testimony. Hereupon medical gentleman came upon the stand and still further aston ished tho court with the announcement that his conferre, the defendant, had 'hypnotized the witnesses and made them say just what he liked. Finally the court adjourned the case and appointed a commission to see if the entire crowd were not crazy.-Cor. Chicago Times.

FEEDING THE SICK.
<aluable Hints for Women Who Have
 Charge of Inyallds.

10lU0Dl6 11lnGS TOT women WHO nave
 Charge of Inyallds.
 It is rarely easy and almost always very difficult to persuade the sick to take nourishment in sufficient quantity, and the successful nurso must be rich in expedients. Her persuasive power must be great. She must be patient and yet firmly persistent until her whole duty is done. There are certain general rules for her to observe. few of them we will give.
 All foods for the sick should be of the very best quality, we'll cooked, palata- bly, seasoned and attractively served. A savory dish will always sharpen tho appetite of one in health, and it must have stimulating influence upon q delicate patient, to whom the fiat and insipid preparations usually offered arc loathsome and even nauseating.
 Surprise is frequently useful ele- ment in the dietetic treatment of the sick. Something unexpected will often be acceptable, when, were the patient consulted and advised of what was being prepared for him, would take away all appetite for it. Cooking in the sick room Is, of course, always forbidden, nor should the smell of food be allowed to reach the patient if it is possible to prevent it. Absolute neatness in the service of food is prime consideration. There is more to the patient in clean napkins, spotless china, etc., than many think. A slovenly nurse is out of place anywhere. If the doctor directs that certain foods be given hot, he means that they shoul ' be hot, and not merely warm, in whi,H condition some foods are very insipid.
 Occasionally one sees tho nurse tast- | ing the food in the presence of the pa l tient-a most unpardonable habit. No | more food should be at one time taken 1 into the sick-room than is likely to be | eaten. and whatever is not eaten should be at once removed. Nurses often leave | it in sight, in the hope that the patient may want it little later, but almost in variably they are disappointed. It is quite a common thing for the physician to find milk in glass or pitcher stand ing near the beside of his patient, and often the appearance of the glass is such that even person with the strongest kind of stomach would not care to drink from it. Of all foods, milk prob ably takes up impurities the easiest. 1 Hence, to keep it exposed to the air of a sick-room or any other bad air is to sim ply render it unfit for use. nurse with any thing approaching neatness would never allow glass which has held milk to be used a second time with out carefully washing and rinsing. Some consult their own convenience al together too much in feeding the sick. Food ought to be given at regular inter
 vals when possible.-The Trained ! Nurse

THE KNOWING GIRL.

 Engagement Ring.

She Called to Inquire the Price of Her
 Engagement Ring.
 The pretty girl held out her right hand, and on one of the fingers glis- tened diamond.
 ''IIow much is that worth, please" she inquired of the clerk, who had re- covered his composure. He looked at the ring for a moment, and answered: Il can hardly say. One jeweler would name one price and another another price,
 ''But what is your estimate?" asked the young lady in voice unusually musical.
 "I can't say"
 ''Why not, pray?' Somewhat sharply.)
 "Well, simply because it is against our rules. 1 am very sorry, indeed, that can not accommodate you. You can-'
 But the young lady didn't wait to hear any more, and before the sentence was finished she was on the street. Were you not little too severe in this | caSe?" asked the tourist. Not a bit of it," replied the jeweler. "1ou don't know all the circumstances. Of course you | don't. Well, the fact is that charming i young woman is engaged to be married, her eXpectant being young man who l is waiting to aStoniSh the world with his legal lore, but who isn't growing very wealthy in the meantime. He bought the ring here and it only cost him fifty dollars. Of course he didn't tell the object of his choice what it cost. She might think it had reduced the not too-plethoric purse of her lover to the extent of cool hundred for all he cared. But, like most women, she was curious and wanted to satisfy herself regarding it's value. 1 recognized the ring in moment, and knew for the first time who was to be the future Mrs. | Blank
 Are all jewellers as strict as you?i' asked the tourist. "Perhaps not all,' y was the reply, although this has been one of the unwritten rules in the craft for years. If it were not generally ob- served there would be 10 end of trouble, and lovers quarrels would be moro fre- quent than ever."-Albany Journal.

WHAT HE WOULD DO.

Chauncey NJ. Depew Gives Some Good
 Advice to American Girls.
 I went once to a lecture wherein one of the most eminent physiologists in the world argued that women were not only weaker physically, but they were not so strong and vigorous in mind as men. My own experience with the two women my mother and my wife-with whom I have succeeded in keeping up to to date has been directly the opposite of this proposition. The processes may not be the same, but the results are identical Europeans claim that our fashionable girls are not educated. They acknowl- edge they are pretty, alert, witty and audacious, but claim they are not seri ous. They are accused of knowing com paratively nothing of ofliterature, science, politics, history or art. So Europeans say-and for that reason if I were a girl of wealthy parents I would postpone the ball and the german and get education first of all.
 If all women of fashion were educated in proper institutions no interference need result with social pleasures. Such education, where needed, would add enormously to the future of womans po- sition in the family and before the pub lie.
 If I were woman, no matter what was my condition in life, or what sacri- flee it would be necessary to make, l would strain every nerve, first and last, to acquire an education. The area oi self-support to woman enlarges in pro- portion to the education of her mind. And further, were l woman 1 would let no ambitious consideration compel a marriage without love. If the man was firm of character, capable and energetic I would defy all opposition and take my chances with him. From my own ob servation and experience I.do not think it is difficult for a woman - unless she is obtrusive and offensive-to sit upor | the box of the domestic carriage, hold | the reins, and direct the course of the coach about as she pleases.-ChaunceN M. Depew, in Chicago Tribune.

IN AN AFRICAN CAMP.
Peculiar Customs and Vices Prevailing in
 Masai-Land.


 Masai-Land.
 Tho moment suitable camping ground is reached, the loads are stacked, and, with astonishing rapidity, born of fear and daily drill, a strong. circular, thorn fence is built, inside which we feel safe-yet not quite safe, for no man dares lay down his gun or leave a single article exposed to the clutches of the thievish warriors. These may be pre- vented from stealing, but can not be punished if caught in the act; so that for them the attempt is only rare sport for us, constant source of danger and worry. Soon the natives begin to ap- pear. First the women and married men arrive, the former with clean-shaved heads, neck and breast loaded with chain and bead necklets, body enveloped in dressed ox-hide, and arms and legs covered with thick iron wire coiled continuously around to the weight of from twenty to thirty pounds. Their features are good, with but little trace of the negro, while their bearing is, com pared with the negro, distinctly aristo- cratic. The married men, or elders, are more scantily dressed, usually in a kaross of monkey or hyrax skin which partially covers the body, but with little regard to decency.
 As the day wears on parties of war riors arrive from the various districts, resplendent in red clay and grease, with which they are liberally plastered-al- most their only dress. Nothing else covers their magnificent forms but a small kid-skin over the shoulders. They march in single file, holding their enormous spears-blades two feet and a half 1ong-vertically in their hands, their buffalo hide shields depending at their sides. They chant war-song in stentorian tones, and go through a variety of evolutions, which show in this rudimentary drill their military | instincts. The question of the hongo | has now to be settled, with much decor ous speechifying, for, like the North | American Indians, they are born orators. | The amount settled, the iron wire and beads are sometimes divided amicably, sometimes thrown into the midst of the warriors to be fought for as by beasts oi prey. On these occasions blood is ire quently drawn.-Joseph Thompson, il | Scribner's Magazine.

Tho English language is undoubt- edly destined to prevail throughout the world, and may, few hundred years hence, become the universal language. It is seriously proposed to adopt it as the national language of Japan. It is the tongue already most widely spoken, excepting, possibly, the Chinese, and has elements of progress which that can never have, on account of the lack of energy and civilization of that people.

DANGEROUS.

The free use of fire arms on our pub
lie streets and on private lots, though
by law forbidden, is of frequent occur
renee in the last few days. Two ladies,
living in the Northern portion OF the
town, became seriously alarmed because
of an almost incessant shower of shot
falling upon the very roof and windows
of their dwelling while the boys, with
the utmost disregard of all town law,
were shooting birds in trees near by
and upon the homestead.
Parents should teach their sons not to
make themselves sources of annoyance
to their neighbors.
