FOR DYSPEPSIA,
Ayers SarsapariIla

Is an effective remedy, as numerous testimo-
mails conclusvely prove. "For two years
l was constant sufferer from dyspepsia
and liver complaint. l doctored long
time and the medicines prescribed, i'll nearly
every case, only aggravated the disease.
An apothecary advised me to use Ayers
Sarsaparilla. 1 did so, and was cured
at a cost of So. Since that time it has
been my family medicine, and sickness has
become stranger to our household.

At Latonia, on Saturday, not a favorite

which has always had an unsavory reputa-
ton for crooked riding and jobbery-a
claim again fully supported Gu the opening
day. Fishburn, on Roseland, one OF the
best two-year-o out in the West, so de-
liberately pulled the colt that the judges
declared all bets off and expelled Fishburn.
AS to what was done with the owner and
trainer of ROseland no news has as yet
come to hand; but if there exists the least
connection between them and FiShburn'S
rascality they ought to be ruled oil, too,
and that for life.

Charles Bradlaurh.

Next to Gladstone the most remarkable
figure in English politics today is Charles
Bradlaugh, the Radical. He first came
prominently before the world as man
who, elected to parliament, refused to
take the oath prescribed, because he did
not believe in religious tests. He was
sent to parliament from Northampton.
Parliament expelled him for not taking
the oath. Northampton returned him
and the same process was repeated.
Four times this farce was gone through,
and at. last Bradlaugh triulnphed and
was admitted to his seat. The religious
oath will never be insisted on again if
any member declines to take it.
As member of parliament Bradlaugh
has distinguished himself as the opponent
of the British system of perpetual pen
sions and the friend of legislative reform
in India The people of India indeed
have come to look On him as their cham
pion and deliverer.
But the most striking feature of his
career is the gradual popularity Brad
laugh has won. Eight years ago he was
cursed, hooted at and Missed from one
end of England to the other, by high and
low alike, on account Of his radicalism.
He weakened not jot, but stood SPLEEN
didly out for his convictions through it
all. That of itself compelled a kind Of
respect. The next step was that he be-
gan to gain friends. They increased in
number and power. A reception ten
dered to him on his return from India
was attended by G,000 persons. Year by
year his influence grows. Bradlaugh is
G man OF massive brain power and ply
sique. It has even been suggested that
he will be the successor of Gladstone
when the old king lays down his scepter.
AT any rate, the case of Bradlaugh
proves that the man who has convictions
and the backbone to stick to them must
win il the long run.

RSpno,isn, and science.

DR.. J. NJ. Charcot, of France, is at the
nead Of the scientific investigators OF
animal magnetism, mesmerism, or hyP-
notisrn, as it is now called. DR.. Charcot
prefers the name hypnotism because it
does not commit to any theory.
Chafcot defines hypnotism to be steep
artificially produced by mechanical
means. He writes in The Forum OF his
experiments on human beings with
cold bloodedneSs that only the scientific
man is able to attain. His experiments
are always conducted with hystericai
subjects, for one reason, because the
practice Of Approximation is by no means
free from danger, though what especial
grudgo he has at hysterical subjects, and
on that account selects them for his
operations, he does not explain.
In producing the hypnotic state, the
usual method is for the patient to sit
quietly while the professor holds some
small, shining object like silver coin
in front Of and slightly above his eyes
and four to six inches away from them.
The patient gazes steadily on the object.
The eyes are thus subjected to strain.
In few minutes they begin to wink,
then more and more rapidly, then the
lids droop and finally fall, as in sleep.
The patient becomes quite unconscious,
as in sound sleep. Charcot calls this
the state Of Iothargy. Pull open his eye
Ids with the fingers, they will remain
open and staring. The subject is now in
what Charcot calls the second state, that
of cat&lepsy. In this state, if his fists be
clinched, they will remain in that con-
dition, and his face will assume an ex-
preston of the most violent anger. If
his arm be raised in the air, it will re-
main thus rigid till brought down by the
operator His muscles remain fixed
where they are placed.
The patient is now ready for the third
stage, that of somnambulism. BY rub
bing the cataleptic person brislzly upon
the top Of his head, Charcot says he
makes him pass into somnambulism. In
somnambulism the patient has the ap-
pearanco of being awake. He hears and
sees what is going on about him, and
cal open and shut his eyes at will, which
IN the other states he could not do. But
it is an abnormal consciousness. He
hears and sees just whct the operator
tells him to, nothing more. He is ap
4 parantly merely vehicle for the mind
and win Of the operator. If the hypno
tizer gave him water and told him il
was wine and he was intoxicated, he
would immediately act like u drunken
person. Ills five senses seem also to bt
quickened in some abnormal way. Thi.
much science has learned CT the mys
terry Of hypnotism.

Beyond doubt the educated man or
woman of the future will be he or she
who can do something that will be OF
use to mankind. The new education
viii therefore be one Of the trained hand
and eye, with comparatively little of
empty book stufiing.
Realizing this, France has gone far
ahead Of other nations in providing in
dustrial schools for the children Of the
common people. A child is taken into
the school at two years old. Itisput into
a kindergarten, and treated with the ut
most care and tenderness. Training at
first IS Of the eye, hand and muscles in
general. The child is taught form, color,
and the use of tools. A midday lunch
con IS furnished hct for two cents. 1t is
given free to those who cannot pay.
Connected with the industrial schools
are vast cabinets, in which human trades
are shown il all stages, The cotton in
dustry is exhibited in al its phases, from
the seed and bell of the cotton plant to
the woven goods. In this way, by OBJ
ject lessons, in which vast storehouses
of treasure are shown to the learner, les
sons are taught. No books at all are
used I'll a comparatively advanced stage
of the education is reached, then the pa
pills pass with infinite regret to the stage
of book learning.
When they take their places in the
world Of work, eye and hand have al
ready been trained, and they understand
the use Of tools. There are indeed
among these government schools those
in which trades are learned, and the boy
OF girl goes from school fully equipped
with an occupation.

Farm Animals in the United States
With one exception, that of sheep,
the average price Of farm animals in
the United States is lower than it was
year ago. But all kinds OF animals have
largely increased ia number. Horses
have gained faster than people in the
last year, and there are now in the coun-
try over 100000 altogether. The in
crease in the cotton states is in Texas
ponies, but outside Of that locality it has
consisted largely Of Improved imported
stock, the Cleveland bay carriage horse,
the Percheron and the noble Clydesdale.
The great horse breeding district of the
country is changing to the Rocky noun
tain region and the Pacific coast. The
possibilities OF the future in this direc-
ton are too vast to be imagined. In time
we shall have the finest horses in the
world.
There are two and a third millions
more mules than there were a year ago.
Sheep have increased 4 per cent. There
may or may not be anything sarcastic
in the remark of the secretary of agri-
culture that swine have increased in
proportion to the population.
Of milk COWS ana beef cattle we have
in the country now no less than IS, 000,-
600, which makes over half beef to
every man, woman and child Of the pop
ulation. Why, then, is not beef cheaper?
