soBERED lsY HYPNOT1sM.

A Man Cured of Int npcrats Habits by
the Now Science.
Carroll Cook, q young San francisco
and mixed drinks, suddenly astenished
his friends about a year AMI o half ago
by reforming. He drank nothing, but
no one could get from him the secret of
his change of habits. 1t has just leaked
out that he was liypnot;zad by Kennedy,
The mesmerist, and that he can't swallow
liquor, as his palate Immediately rejects
it. The secret came out at an evening
reception this week. Carroll Cook was
a guest and at supper among other artl-
Giles on the table was mince pc. Cook
is very fond of minca pc, and took a
piece. AS soon as he put itin his mouth
he began choking. As soon as he re-
covered every one wanted to know the
reason of his curious attack.
ISN'T there some alcoholic liquor in
this pie?" asked Cook.
@Of course, said the hostess, there's
brandy in it.
THAT settles it, said Cook; @you see
my palate is llypnotiz,d !"
Asked for an explanation. he said:
"When Kennedy vas here I became in
innate with the mesmerist. was then
drinking heavily and rapidly losing my
practice. Kennedy said one day, Cook,
whisky will be your ruin. / command
you never to drink alcoholic liquors
again He fixed his bright eyes on me,
but / laughed and ordered drink.
When lifted it could not control the
muscles Of my mouth to swallow ]
poured the liquor between my lips aud
it fell out. tried to swallow that liquor
as though my life depended upon it, but
it was no use, and from that day to this
1t has leen impossible for me to drink
liquor of any kind. One day was
given a glass of lemonade in glass that
had a trace of whisky in it, and the
drink spluttered all over my clothes.
Although Kennedy is now in London,
Cook says his spell is as strong as ever.

STRIKES IN CHINA.
The Workmen Do Not Lose Very Much
Time.


Time.
In China. as is well known, things
are topsy turvy, and even workmen's
strikes are different there from those in
Western lands. Recently, says the
London Times. strike took place at the
great arsenal at Klangnan, where about
1900 men are employed. 1t appears
that the custom has always been eight
hours work per day since that estab-
lishment was founded, over % years
ago. The new director, considering
this amount too little for the wages paid,
resolved to increase it to nine hours
The worlkmen steadily refused The
majority were against the innovation,
and the minority, who were in con-
siderable force, were completely intimi-
dated. Hence, on the morning when
the new regulation was to commence,
the steam was raised in the boilers, the
whistle sounded. and the machinery
was set in motion as usual. but not
workman dared to pass inside the gates
to work. It looked at first as if this
state of things might last for months.
for both sides showed no symptoms of
relenting. But things go by contraries
in China. In the afternoon the work
men, seeing that they made no impress
sion on the directors, who could easily
stop all work for an indefinite time, CON
cluded that discretion was the better
part of valer. ard gayein. Half day
was all the time lost, and the extra
hours work is now done as regularly a.
if it had been the rule from the first.

If the fowls on the farm do NOT pay,
the fault is not with the fowls but with
the farmer The Indifferent treatment
they receive and the almost total disre-
gard Of the laws of production are re-
sponsible for the result. It is q slow
and difficult task to overcome prejudice
on the part of men who viii not listen
to any other arguments than those
which agree with their own notion Of
things. But in spite Of this fact the
development Of farm poultry interests
goes on, and more profit therefrom is
b ing realized year BY year.
Laying hens thrive with plenty Of
sunshine and a liberal allowance Of
various kinds Of food both green and
dry, and a constant supply Of water,
and some form Of lime. The main
points in poultry raising are, clean
houses, nests and roots and an abun-
dance Of iood and plenty of pure drink.
ing water, and be very careful about
the latter. If your fowls haven't free
access to water that is pure, don't fail
to supply it. Poultry can't thrive if
neglected in any way and espec ally in
ter.

rendered this, as well as the rest of his
property, to the hquidators. to be realized
as among the assets of the firm. Ths other
partre-s have dealt with their property in
the same way.
Mr.. Hodgson, who was a silent partner
onlv. and drew $40 900 year and his share
of the profits OF the business, had msgni.
ficent place in Kent, where his family had
dwelt for three generations, which he las
given over. as it stands, house, furniture,
works of art, and everything. to the liquida-
tors, and finds himself beginning life again
at an advanced age on a salary of E500 q
year in the service of the revived limited
company of Barings & Co.
