LISBON, Jan. 7.-Senior Gomez will an

of menacing, psremptory character, requir-
ing Portugal to act at once, as If the recti-

beyond all doubt. It is believed that Por-

foreign minister will intimate the willing
ness of the Portuguese government TO order

same. The main point of the Portuguese

Portuguese government should give to its

1t Was a Mash,

Along about the middle of the coach was
young lady, not very beautiful, girl, but
just ordinary, although she had very
jaunty hat and sealskin sacque. A young
man who had Just got on the train stood at
the door and looked the passengers over
for minute or two, and then walked de-
liberately down the aisle and pumped
himself down beside the girl. AS he did
so there was crash and crush and he
sprang up to discover that he had sat
down upon a bardbox and mashed it fiat.
Pm SO sorry-so sorry p he stammered
as he turned all sorts of color.

"My brother Bill is forward in the
smoking-car, and if you don't pay I'll call
him. There's nothing cheap about Bill.
He'll knock $50 worth of Jaw off your
chin before he gets through with you.''
"I'll pay, Miss"
"Thats business. Fifteen dollars, eh ?
Twelve from fifteen leaves three, and here's
the change and the hat. Next time you
go to kerplunk down beside anybody, look
out for breakers"
i beg to apologize, Miss" he replied.
"Oh, you needn't; you got off cheap.
If you hadn't smashed the hat I'd have
pulled S25 worth of hair off your head
anyhow"
Everybody felt sorry for the man. He
got into seat at the end of the car and

that purpose. and We are assured that he
was eminently successful in demonstrating
to the assembled scientists and dignitaries
that the claims for hypnotism are real.
The report of the experiment thus con-
tinues:
The Professor, by conclusive experiments up
on subjects who were awake and others who
were hypnotized, proved that what is here
called ia suggestion" is the starting point of
all these phenomena To the surprise of every

could be made by suggestion to perform or
binary acts or even abnormal ones. In particu-
variable way-a fact which some students of
the theory Of crime were not slow to notice. The
company who witnessed the experiments in
cluded NJ. Alexandra Dumas, DR.. Charcot and
MN. Couturier Guillot and Doppfer, JUICES d.

port upon the question as 1t may concern the
commission OF crime, in the hope probably that
it might tend to elucidate recent mysteries. the
theory being that criminal might be the ire
sponsible agent of another mind. During the
proceedings NJ. Alexandra Dumas was asked
he eped that
was nearly impossible to put on the stage an
actor who would demonstrate the successive
mental changes from the natural state to the
condition of Suggestion unless the artist was
himself transformed.
The chief interest in the subject, and
upon which it is not as yet at all clear, at
taches to the inquiry and its line of sug-
gestions, by the Judge referred to. Can
hypnotic subjects be required to commit
crime? If SO, to what extent are the
mass of men subject to the influence of the
hypnotic operators? How far is this
potent influence likely to enter into the
realm Of volition, and deprive men of free
will? In short, must not the law soon
recognize this wonderful power, and pro-
vide for the involvements it will bring
about, if men and women can be made to
act involuntarily in criminal directions
1t is easy to understand that actual GRIM
inals will seek presently to screen them
selves behind hypnotism, pleading the alb

Feeding the Sick.

There are those so foolish as to suppose
that the sick must eat, as means of gain
ing strength, even in the absence of an
appetite, while it is true that this appe-
title is a foodometer, intended to indicate
when food is wanted. If hard labor in
creases the appetite, then 1t is reasonable
to infer that those unwilling to rise from
their beds, having but little or no exer-
else, will not require much food. The
custom then of supposed friends sending
in dainties to tempt the appetite is foolish
and harmful. When there is no appetite,
loathing Of all food, there is good evil
dence that none is needed, and that its
use will be harmful This is true from
the fact that in acute diseases the digestive
juices are wanting, in which case it is inn
possible for food to digest, while it can do
no possible good if not digested. The APP
petite is mercifully suspended in fevers,
ETC., that the stomach may have little
rest, and that the system may have time
to rally. / claim that the appetite is al
ways good enough, or that all the food is
digested by it that can be digested. When
the feverishness and inflammation disap-
pear, the appetite will return in due sea-
son, requiring care at first, only simple
food being given, and in small quantities,
SO as to keep it constantly good. Soups
and mushes are particularly appropriate
at first, eaten slowly at first, that the
mushes more particularly may be mixed
with the saliva of the mouth.

The misuse of the word ssnee" is source
of perpetual tribulation to copy editors.
provincial society reporters" especially
being prone to mournful disregard of its
real meaning. They have hazy but.
nevertheless strong impression that it is
equivalent to the expression "whose for
mer name was" and they rarely fail to
use the full name in all its aristocratic
completeness. Now, the fact is that ssnee"
is simply French for sborn," and although
the charming Mrs. De Lancey Jones may
have been "born" an Edwards, she certainly
was not born "Miss Jemima Edwards"
Little things of that sort don't always turn
out just as might be desired, you know.
Perhaps no fault will ever be found, says
the Albany Press and Knickerbocker, with
the fit of these cunning little garments
that were SO carefully fabricated, but it is
not always safe to select name for the
baby before it arrives. The doting father
to-be may decide that his offspring shall
be known as Aristides Ponsonby Jones, but
he may afterward be induced to select
plain Susan instead from circumstances
entirely beyond his control. 1t might be
really too plebeian for the provincial $50
ciety reporter to refer to 'Nlrs. Jones, nee
Edwards" but he might try. And he GER
tainly should avoid the error of a rural
contemporary, which recently praised the
diamonds of 'Mrs. De Lacey Jones, nee
Mrs. William Smith," How poor Mrs.
Jones ever came to be born to a state of
widowhood the reporter neglected to ex-
plain.

prices still ruling low. The budget of a
minor poet in active practice was lately
published in the press, and, if we remem-
Der correctly, thirty shillings was about
the quoted price for the average effnsion.
Broken hearts, sunset, spring, the grave,
are certainly cheap at this rate; but it is
pointed out that the public consumption is
almost nil, while the output of poetry is
enormous A combination among workers
to limit the output of poetry would, it is
believed, have no effect on the market.
Nor, for that matter, would the more
universal and equal distribution of wealth
be of great assistance to poets. Not only
the laboring class, but even pampered
bourgeoise and bloated aristocracy, can
deny themselves indulgence in minor
poetry without discomfort. The market,
moreover, is swamped with female labor.
Irritated male poets demand that the mag
azines shall publish portraits of their men
and women "helps" in song. 1t is believed
that these portraits will explain why
women do all the verse in magazines, will
cast lurid light on the motives and char
acters of editors, and will make many a
married editor sorry for his hesrtless par
tiality.-LondoB Saturday Rerie,o.

THE SPRING MEETING.

There were several reasons why the re-
cent stock exhibition and round of speed
contests, though drawing better than any
previous spring meeting, were not still bet
ter attended in this city. The season has
been trying one for one thing, and
money was not SO free that it could be
easily commanded. The meeting was held
in the midst of the picnic season, when
there was unusual call for the apportion-
ing of leisure time among the members of
the family, and the same conditions pre-
vailed generally throughout the State,
preventing large attendance from abroad.
But Sacramento contributed very literally
in money and her attendance was good,
and better proportionally than that of any
other section, all matters of distance and
cost being taken into account. But there
were other reasons for there not being a
"Jam." The single admission, while justi-
fed by the attractions of the meeting, was
deemed by the people too high, and
whether it was or not, that judgment by
the people must be accepted. Then, too,
every other day races were not pleasing to
those from distance, and while it is true
that young stock must have resting time, a
classification might possibly have been
made that would have given every day
purses and have grouped the untried
horses, and the better stables have been
brought into contests between themselves.
But after all this has been said, the season
was success and was admirably man
aged, rejecting great credit upon the State
Board of Agriculture, and iustifes that
body in announcing, as it is hoped it will,
another spring meeting.

THE FUTURE OF HYpNor1sM.

Hypnotism is presenting itself more and
more prominently to the public mind, and
what is notably peculiar about it is that
the subject is not becoming clearer by any
means. Recently some very important ex-
periments in the science-shall it be thus
dirnified ?--were made in the presence Of
the medical staff of the largest hospital of
Paris, the Hotel Dieu. Professor Bern

THE women of Philadelphia some time
ago entered into scheme for the solution
of the question of the domestic service
question. To that end they established a
cooking school for the free training of
worthy girls and school of housewifery
also, where all the common arts of house
hold economy can be learned. The schools
have been splendidly attended, and un-
questionably have done an immense
amount of good. But alas for the hopes
of the Philadelphia women-no sooner do
they get a girl thoroughly well trained for
housewifery arts than she marries, and
such is the demand for this class of wives
that the supply falls far short. Nothing
more emphatically indorses the position
assumed in these columns recently than
this. That is to say, the need of the hour
is that our girls should be taught the
housewifely arts, and that they be dis
couraged from crowding men at good
wages out of employment, as they are now
doing, and, as we believe, to the injury of
both sexes. 1t is well-known fact that
the average marrying young man does not
seek for his wife the woman in busi-
ness, and for the very best of reasons. She
is not, as rule, trained to be the head of
household, and by reason of her habit
and her associations, is not inclined toward
domesticity. The young man understands
this perfectly, and he acts accordingly.
We would not limit the capacity of woman,
or put solitary restraint upon her free
dom of action that common propriety does
not demand. But it is because we believe
that the drift of the present tendency Is
towards an Independence in women which
will result disastrously to the homes
of the land that we insist that pa
rents are doing their daughters woful in
jury by putting them into business voca-
lions instead of domestic training. If this
drift of the day continues it may not be
great while before we return to those abo-
riginal conditions in which woman was
the newer and burden-bearer and man the
looker-on and the lord of the realm with
out other labor than that of the chase.
OF course, this is stating the case strongly,
but we submit that whoever studies the
displacement that is going on in business
and the trades, and the disinclination to
make daughters skilled in housewifely
arts, must, if unpreiudiced, foresee the
time when our women will mostly, outside
of the wealthy classes, be found at work
in factories, stores, offices and markets,
filling the ranks Of the lighter trades and
pushing men from labor and ability to earn
wage sufficient for support of family.
The tendency discourages that domesticity
which, whatever sentiment may be trum-
peted to the contrary, must largely rest
upon degree Of dependence by the wife
upon the capacity of the husband to earn
outside of the household, and upon de-
pendence on his part upon the wife to
manage the economies and administer the
affairs Of the home.
