ical student brought suit against a practicing physician in the town for having hypnotixsd him several times against his will, with the result that his ner. vous system was injured and his mind some- what enfeebled. Several witnesses appeared for the plaintiff, and, to the astonishment of the court. they all appeared to be crazy and gave the most contradictory and as.ounding testimony. Hereupon a medical gentleman came upon the stand and still further aston ished the court with the announcement that his oonfrere, the defendant, had hypnotized the witnesses and made them say just what ever he liked. Finally the court adjourned the case and appointed commission to see if the entire crowd were not crazy.

A CANADIAN REFORM.
 One of the results of the agitation that is now going on in Canada is a decided change in sentiment concerning tho custon of plao- ing Protestant girls in Catholic eonvents for education. The Catholics have 225 of these institutions in the Dominion, most of them well equipped and endowed, and they offer educational facilities at a merely nominal cost. In this they have had great advan- tage over Protestant institutions, and as the accomplishments of fashionable life are well taught, they have earned prestige which 1t has been difficult to overcome. Easy.going Protestants have sent their girls to these schools in large numbers. In Quebec it is estimated that 2, 5O5 Protestant girls are in the Catholic convents and in Ontario 1,200. The Protestant girls who are kept out of the convents will not be without good schools to attend. A few years ago not a college in Canada admitted women to its classes. Now women have equal opportu- mites with men in Acadia college, Wolf vile, N. s., University college, Toronto, Queens college, Kingston, Dalhousie college, Halifax, 'McGill university Mont- real, Trinity college, Toronto, New Bruns- wick university, and St. Hilda's, Toronto. Many of their graduates are already seeking still higher education in institutions in the United States, and an association of women graduates, with branches in every univer- sity town, has been formed to push on the reform,

was tendency to exaggerate the evils of tight laoing.
 Miss Lydia Becker said she was an out and out defender of the corset, ss absolutely nc. eessary alike for the health, comfort and ap- pearanee of a woman under the present con- ditions. There was a great difference be. tween the abuse and use of eorsets, between tight laciag and that moderate amounts of compression of the waist which many found 50 desirable. 4 "wasp" waist was distinctly ugly, destroying graceful undulations and beautiful curves. Even the extremest modes of tight lacing were not SO injurious as doc- tors would have them believe. If they were she really did not see how the ladies of the present day could survive, because unques- tionably that fashion was in the ascepdant. What were really injurious were long and heavy and eumbrous skirts. If fashion would only allow the length of the skirts to be abridged little that would be a very great relief.
 Dr. Wilberforce Smith mentioned numsr- ous diseases common to both sexes, which were found more recently in women, and he had traced these diseases entirely to corsets.
 Dr. Emblston said he had known deaths to have occurred from tight lacing, and he urged ladies to abstain from that most riaic- ulous and disfguring fashion.

IS THE FARMER OVERPOWERED .

kS II k46 E AkSm HkI OvhnFO '" Nk&HD D '
 MT. Alfred H. Peters calls attention in the Quarterly Journal of Economies to the de- cline in political importance of the farmers of this country. He who in the number and proportion of his taxes Is undeniably first is for the purposes of official duties considered east. In his place modern politics brings out the mob of professional densgogaes, the majority of them with . smattering of the law, and many of thsm spectators. Few of them are productive workers. They are or- ganizers; they control the caucus, run the conventions, and live by participating in lexislation. More and more this class of men throng the avenues which lead to political distinction. The farmer has dropped out. The avenue leads away from the farm. Less and less are the chances afforded him to leg islate for himself, who is the heaviest'tax- payer. Less and less is legislation inhu- sncsd by his wishes.
 This is an interesting complaint, and there is some reason for it. Thus far, however, the politicians have not succeeded in totally obscuring the farmer. He can make himself felt in Connecticut whenever he chooses to do so, and in the western States the manag- CTS of railroads are very much afraid of him. And in various parts of the country the farmers are combining and looking after their interest in legislation very sharply. It is not yet time to call the farmer squelshed.

The next war in Europe will be an inters esting affair to students of military matters. The French have spent since the war with Germany more than $500, GOO, 900 in building a system of Notifications which, it is said, can be destroyed quickly by means of the new explosives that modern science has placed in the hands of military men.
 An Interesting experiment for learning how high the ocean waves rise was made re- gently by the Hon. Ralph Abercromby, member of British scientific expedition through the South Pacific. He placed upon the surface of the water very sensitive aneroid barometer. capable of recording its extreme rise or fall. With a sea not sub- jectel to an atmosphere of unusual violence, the barometer indicated an elevation of forty feet from the wavs's base to crest. MT. Abercromby concluded that under extraordi- nary conditions the waves would without doubt become sixty feet high.
 Great artistic excellence has been reached in Europe in the manufacture of tin soldiers. A German military officer has found 1t poasi- ble to represent military operations on a large scale by their means. He has collected S5, 00s tin soldiers, belonging to every branch of the service and completely equipped, and has displayed them on a platform in the Kempten barracks to illustrate . siege eon- ducted in accordance with the best teaching of modern tactics. The scenery and other appurtenances have all been supplied by toys in common use, and the picture is said to be marvellously perfect. A French garrison, of course, occupies the fortress and naturally is compelled to surrender.
 R. G. Mcconnell, of the Canadian esologi- cal survey, has returned from his inspection of the region between the Peace and Artha- baska rivers. He commenced about three hundred miles north of Calgary and extended his operations for some three hundred miles further north to the vicinity of Vermillion. The region embraces an area of thirty or forty thousand square miles. Little of this tract was ever explored before by white men. A great deal of it is good farming land, but swamps abound and mako it unfit for settle
 ment. The trees are principally spruce and
 poplar. Speaking of the deposits of oil re
 ported to be there, Mir. Mcconnell said hs certainly found quantities of tar, indicating
 the presence of oil, but just in what quanti
 ties 1t existed hs was not prepared to ssl
 before making his reports.
