Acknowledgement Hart'S Opinion on
Supervisorial Powers.
At a meeting of the Sportsmen's Pro-
tective Association of San Francisco on
Tuesday a letter from Attorney General
Hart was read in which that gentleman,
in answer to the query, "Can Boards OF
Supervisors shorten the close season for
game?" said:
The law authorizing the Supervisors to
make regulations for the protection OF
game and fish Statutes of 1891, subdi-
vision 29t, page 306), in so far as it re-
spects game, is repealed by the Act passed
later in the same day Statutes Of 1891,
page 472). The latter statute, by being
the last expression of the will of the
Legislature on the subject, prevails.
Supervisors cannot shorten the close sea-
son, but might extend it beyond the time
mentioned in the statute last referred to-"
The opinion was approved by the asso-
citation, and an attempt will be made to
make it effective.

The AppIication of HYpnotism.

A sensible, but by NO means brilliant arti-
| Gle upon a very fascinating subject. is Dr..
Tuckey'spaper on the application of bypno-
tism in the Contemporary Review. On the
whole, DR.. Tuckey believes in hypnotism,
and while he admits that there may be
abuses, does not think that it is accom-
panied by such great dangers as some peo-
pie have asserted.
I'm the hands of e conscientious and
experienced physician the use Of hypno-
tism is, / believe, absolutely devoid of dan
ger. This is my W experience; and last
year | wrote to the chief opponents of the
treatment on the continent, in America,
and in Great Britain and Ireland, asking
them for their opinion on this subject.
They all replied that they never had met
with untoward results, and that they could
not conceive the possibility of such results
if proper care and Judgment were used.''
At the same time he speaks in the strong
est terms as to the wickedness Of the kind
of public performances that are frequently
given.
He says: "a few weeks Of exhibition will
probably render such subjects unfit for any
subsequent employment requiring applica-
ton or reasoning power. Surely it is the
duty of the state to protect these persons
of unstable mental equilibrium from ruin
of mind and body; and it should only be
! necessary TO point out to the public that

CONCERNING PREPARATION.

A criticism offered on the mining
congress in Denver by a we'll known Cal
~lfornian in the Mining and Scientific
Press, is that comparatively little atten-
ton was given to such subjects as rail
road land claims and hydraulic mining.
The silver question consumed too much
time. 1t is hoped that the committees
who have the programme in charge for
the congress here next summer, will ar
range matters in such shape as to give
proper consideration to every subject OF
Importance connected with the mining
interests. Tt should be a time for get
ting practical and useful Information as
we'll as for an interchange OF views on
the methods of securing silver legislation.
1t will be a memorable occasion in the
history OF Helena and nothing should
be neglected that will contribute to the
value OF the gathering to mining inter-
ests and to those in attendance.
The same may also be said Of the irri-
cation convention in this city next
month. We are certain that it will re-

Manhattan, should. be in attendance to
give practical views and suggestions
and we'll arranged plans for securing
necessary legislation from the state and
national governments should be ready
to submit to the convention. This is Of
special importance if we are to have an
extra session of the legislation before
summer. The point is, not to give the
convention wholly the character of a
preliminary gathering for future work
but to arrange for a good part of the
work in the convention.

ABOUT PEOPLE,.

It is said that no recent orator has at
tracted such audiences to the celebrated
Lowell institute lectures in Boston az Pres
ident Eliot, of Harvard. is now drawing to
hear his discourse on educational topics.
John G. Whittier enters his s5th year
Dec. II. He thinks he will spend the anni-
vsrsarA not at Oak Knoll, Danvers. but at
Amesbury or Newburyport, where he is Wis
ting his lifelong friend, Joseph Garland.
1t is reported that Thomas Nelson Page

in Harper's Magazine, made vacsnt by the
promotion of Charles Dudley Warner to
the position occupied by William Dean
Howells.
Frank r. Stockton began life in Philadel-
phia as an ,engraver. He is about 81 now,
and has learned to wait an hour for a word
if necessary. A plethoric bank account, it
may also be observed, conduces greatly to
Mr.. Stockton's patience.
A strange figure on the streets of Wash
ington is that of Josephine j.. Jarocki, a
Polish countess and a grandniece of Count
Pulaski. of revolutionary fame. She is de-
scribed as a human drieG apple,' poor to
indulgence and shabbily dressed, and she is
about 80 years old. For twenty years she
has been fighting for a fortune left by
Count Pulaski.
The large gift of Baron Hirsch in aid of
the Russian exiles has stimulated many
other wealthy Hebrews, both in Europe
and America, to deeds of generosity. The
various societies for assisting the exiles are
we'll supplied with funds, which are used
with discretion, and which have been SER
viceable to thousands of sufferers, all the
way from the Neva to the Hudson.
Joseph w. Bailey, of Texas, the youngest
member of congress, is a young man of a
strikingly noble face and commanding
presence. His features are refined and al
most as regular as could be chiseled by an
artist; eyes deep blue and he has a wonder
fully handsome suite of jet black hair,
worn very long. That, together with his
soft felt hat of expansive brim. is enough
to tell that he halls from Dixie, and pictur-
esquely attractive he is. Mr.. Bailey is %
years old, we'll to do, and a native of Mis-
sissippi.
Whips may be very expensive. One pre-
sented to William H.. Vanderbilt cost
80, 200. William X. Vanderbilt has one
that cost $3.50. Pierre Lorillard has one
with a carved ivory handle that cost $500.
Whips that cost from $25 to 500 are favor
ite articles for presentation, and America
leads the world in making them. One of
the c~ostliest whips was made in Connect
cut for a Frenchman. The stock was of
carved ivory, gold and jewels. The whip
was of whalebone covered with braided
threads of whalebone.

The Dccadance of Art,

The great artists of the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries exhausted all the motives
of modernized paganism and of Christian
ity and created a free art. which continues
active at the present day in the spheres of
portrait painting, dramatic and historical
incident, landscape and genre; but the
plastic arts have lost their %energizing hold
on the intellect Of the modern man, writes
Theodore Child, i'll Harper's Bazaar. They
are no longer capable of expressing our
ideas about God and the world. In an age
where science has replaced scholarship and
literature, and where music is the puissant
exponent of the modern soul in all it's mani
fold feeling and complexity of movement,
there is no longer any need of an art whose
means of expression appeal to minds that
are accustomed to think in metaphors and
myths. Our interest in the works of art of
the past is therefore as much historical and
curious as it is aesthetic; it is only by a
mental and r~econstructive effort that we
can penetrate the spirit of the ancient mas
ters; and when by dint of atfeotionate
study, sympathy of temperament, and init
mate contemplation. we do seem to succeed
in catching a glimpse of their soul of souls
and vibrating for a moment in unison with
their enthusiasms, we are soon awakened
to a sense of the moral abyss that separates
us from them, and our JOY is obscured by a
veil of sadness and regret.
Never again will humanity recover that
poetical exaltation, that delicate tender
ness, that exquisite sense of natural beauty,
that charm of joyous life, which enabled
Lippo Lippi to conceive and paint the An
nunciation with a pretty Florentine boy as
the angel and his wife Lucrezia Butt as the
Virgin. Never again will the painters con-
ceive the splendid architectural and decora-
tive backgrounds that the Florentine Piero
Pollajuolo (1443- 1866 invented as a fitting
abode for the sumptuously clad virgin
which his erudite imagination created,
adding to the simplicity of the legend all
the splendor and retinements of pagan and
Byzantine civilizations. %Irrevocably past
are the days of the richly enthroned virgins
of Botticelli and Carlo Crivelli, with their
attendant saints and ministering angels,
their thrones of marble and inlaid-work OF
gold and precious stones, their profusion of
splendid flowers, their richly bound mis-
sails, their symbolic accessories that repre-
sent masterpieces of the g~oldsmith's art.
The whole cycle of Mary's mystic and
legendary existence has been materialized
by the artists of Italy and Germany with a
splendor of presentation and a variety of
physical type which make the pictures of
the Virgin a complete repertory of feminine
beauty and of ideal maternity. It remains
for us moderns only to admire, to marvel,
and to regret.
