STRANGE PHENOMENA.

How Physical Manifestations are Pro-
duced by Psychological Forces.
The imaginings of the romancers
have again and again been in time real
lied by the discoveries of the scientists,
and, if the oriental idea that nothing
can be fancied unless it really has some
where an existence may be supposed to
have any foundation, il is to be ex-
pected that in time many more of the
wonders of fiction will be brought into
the realms of sober fact.
A case in point is afforded by an ex-
pertinent tried at the hospital of the
Salpetriere. A subject having been
hypnotized, the physician conducting
the experiment traced his name upon
the patients arm with blunt probe,
saying to him:
This afternoon at four o'clock you
will go to sleep and blood will then
issue from your arms on the line which
l have now traced"
The subject fell asleep at the hour
named and the letters appeared upon
his arm in relief, marked with bright
red and here and there with minute
drops of blood. The same patient was
subsequently heard in a spontaneous
attack of hysteria, to command his arm
to bleed; and the cutaneous hemorrhage
reappeared.

and also explain" comments M. Binet,

Laughter as Health Promoter.

In his Problem of HEALTH" Dr.
Greene says that there is not the re.
motest corner or little inlet of the mi
mute blood vessels of the human body
that does not feel some wavelet from
the commissions occasioned by good
hearty laughter. The life principle, or
the central man, is shaken to its inner

and strength to the surface, thus mate
rally tending to insure good health to
the persons who indulge therein. The
blood moves more rapidly and conveys
a different impression toall the organs
OF the body, as it visits them on that
particular mystic journey when the
man is laughing, from what it does at
other times. For this reason every

within. Thus equipped, there is no
difficulty in getting eggs when they
are highest in price. Poultry should
be fed three times a day, regularly, and
supplied with pure, clean water at all
times. A spring brook flowing through
the yard is the best water arrange
ment. Give variety of food. / find
that sunfower seed is excellent, once
day. Corn and meat, with lime and
ashes, will produce eggs. Supply
ashes and dust to wallow in at will.
The manure from the yard is valuable
and should be carefully saved.
Turkeys are harder to manage than
chickens, as they are not so hardy and
require more care in feeding and shell
tering from rain and cold. Young tur-
keys should always be shut up till the
dew is off, and during inclement
weather. After they are three months
old they will be out of danger. Ducks
and geese are profitable for feathers
and as market fowls. Wherever pond
can be fenced in, so as to confine geese
and ducks, they should be kept. They
bring good prices in market, when fat.
They should be kept in yard, with
pond in it. They thrive better, if yard
and pond are not too small than when
permitted to roam over the farm.
Every farm can support the various
fowls spoken of, without materially in
creasing the expenses, and if, properly
managed, and their products utilized.

iilMALAYAN WOMEN.
How the Fomales of indian Mountai,
Tribes Dress.


| Tribes Dress.
On the slopes of the Himalayas there
are many curious tribes. Some of the
tribes near Darjeeling reckon a journey
by the number of guilds of tobacco
which they chew upon the way, and
some of the most gorgeous specimens
of Hindoo jewelry have seen / saw on
the women of Himalayas. | remember
one mountain pink who had fifty rupees
strung around her neck, and whose
limbs were loaded down with silver.
She had gold plates twice the diameter
of silver dollars upon her ears, and her
mouth was covered by a fiat gold nose
ring. Some of these Himalaya tribes
have one wife to four men and poly
andry is common. Here ut Bombay
are the prottiest women of India. They
are the Parsees. With delicate, olive
brown skins, they are tall and well
shaped, have beautiful eyes and fine
intellectual faces.
They dress in silks of the most deli
cate colors and the dress seems to con-
sist of one large piece of silk,
which is wound around the waist
and then carried up over the
body and the top of the head, so that
the face looks out and the whole hangs
in beautiful drapery. Many of
them. | note, have silk stockings and
slippers to match the color of their
dresses, and they are the brightest and
prettest women | have seen. The
Parsees are sun worshipers There
are only about TO- of them in India,
and 3d. 900 of these are here in Bonn
bay. The men dress in long, preacher
like clothes of black, with hats shaped
like coal-scuttles,. and they are very
fine-looking. Their Dress when not in
business, is often the whitest of linen
coats and skirts. They are the best
business men in the world. They own
millions of dollars worth of property
here in Bombay, and are largely inter-
ested in the trade of India. They are
more akin to the Christians than the
Hindoos in their methods of living.
They believe in spending their money,
dwell in good houses and drive about in
fine carriages. They are charitable as
well as rich and some of the finest of
the public buildings of Bombay have
been built by them. They are of Per-
sian descent and have temples in which
burns the sacred fire of Zoroaster. -

The Little Things That Endanger the
Lives of City People.
We stop to chat with IL friend and
lean against deadly charged electric
pole, and it is all over with the con-
versation. A passing plumber burns
our coat with his unextinguished hand
furnace. A passing carpenter lacerates
our trousers with saw. A passing
porter imperils our head with long
piece of gas-pipe on his shoulder.
One is annoyed if not endangered by
the servant washing sidewalk with a
hose, or fireman carrying his wrig-
Cling serpent up a ladder. A fresh
young Italian maid from Cork. with "a
white muslin nightcap on her head,
runs us down with baby carriage,
soaring our shins or necessitating u
visit to the chiropodist.
Then there is the woman's umbrella
that wasteth at MONDAY, scooping
us up after the manner of a drag-net
or impaling us in its blind and head

perils. Ii we undertake to cross the
street dangers multiply. The pedes-
trian has no rights which the driver is

Two Hundred and Eighty Years of I'M
provement.

In 1909, after traversing the Hudson
/ River from its mouth to Albany, and care
fully noting the grandeur and beauty or
either side of this magnificent highway oi
nature, Hendrick Hudson wrote these
words:
at is as beautiful land one can tread upon.''
Two hundred and eighty years have mar
velously increased the beauty of the great
river called by his name, and could he re-
turn to the scenes of his manhood, he
would find many more lovely sights
than those upon which his eyes rested
in the early part of the seventeenth
century. The natural beauties of the
Hudson are much the same, and no
description can eXaggerate them; but the
magnificent steamers that ply between New
York and Albany, the innumerable sailing
craft that dot the surface of the mighty
river, the never-ending clusters of canal
boats that are being towed up and down,
the beautiful villas that one encounters at
every turn, the magnificent monuments,
perpetuating heroic deeds, that we find here
and there along the banks of this noblest
river of the continent, add an endless va
riety to the scenery, and resistless charm
to the eye of the traveller.
The New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad runs along the bank of the Hudson
river the entire distance between New y York
and Albany, and is the great Trunk Line
that connects the metropolis of the Western
world with the famous health and pleasure
resorts of Central, Northern and Western
New York, including in its list the Catskill
Mountains, Saratoga, Lake George, Sharon
and Richfeld Springs, Lake Ontario, the
Berkshire Hills, Niagara Falls, the Thou
sand Islands, Lake Champlain, the River ST.
Lawrence, and hundreds of others.
The New York Central is part of the
great national highway across the conti-
nent, and for the beauty of its scenery, the
number and Importance of the cities through
which it passes, its almost total lack of
frIsn Hnu e., III
railway is unsurpassed in Europe or Amer
lea.
