f,anpers OF HypnotisbL


Manv a medical man could tell OF
alarming conditions resulting from
improper attempts at hypnOtising by
the unskilled amateur. One such
case has quite recently been reported
by DIR. Scion. An amateur at
friends house volunteered to hypn0-
tise another visitor, and after two
trials succeeded so well that the sub
iect became extremely excited, lost
the power of speech, and then passed
into the condition of catalepsy; subse-
quently he had severe cOnyultlons.
He had simply been hypnotised ny
being made to look at diamond ring
and afterward the sight OF anything
Qlistening threw him into state OF
violent excitement. The floor OF the
room i'm which the physician DIS
covered him was covered with cush-
ions. as he frequently threw himself
from the sofa onto the floor, and was
I'm a condition of grave hysteria with
maniacal excitement. He was treated
with a full dose Of sedatiyes, choral,
sulphonal. bromides, and morphine,
but at first showed no improvement.
After ten days the cOnyulsiye attacks
were replaced by periods during which
he sang persistently; he would sing
every song he knew without stopping
After fortnight of this he had high
temperature for several days, and al
together was very i'll for three weeks.
Such cases are not so uncommon as Is
generally suppOsed.-lThe Hospital.

a Model Elevated Road.

Berlin, Germany, is the only city in
Europe which has an elevated railway.
This belongs to and is run by the Gov
eminent, az are most of the railways in
Germany. 1t carried between five and
six million passengers last year, and pays
well on the investment. At certain
hours OF the morning aud evening, when
it is more availed of by the laboring
classes, rates of fare are very low; at
other times rather higher than on the
New York elevated railways. This rail-
way, which belts the entire city, must
be seen to be appreciated by those famil
lar with the New York elevated system
and its Disagreement of the streets. This
Berlin street railway is constructed with
as much care and solidIty as are any of
the great trunk railways of the United
States. Its passenger stations are more
commodious and give better protection
to passengers than the majority Of rail-
way stations in the principal cities Of
America. Instead of disfguring the
streets it is an ornament to them. When
it runs on level with the upper stories
of a house, passengers have no chlnca to
look into the windows of sleeping rooms,
for it is 50 managed that the tracks pass
By the side walls where there are no
windows. After the route had been
surveyed and determined upon, the
Government bought every piece of prop
erty that could be in the least degree
damaged. The houses were torn down
50 as to give clear space; the whole bed
of the sidewalk, and in some instances
of the street, was occupied. In order
not to interfere with business, wherever
necessary, new outlets were opene
where old ones were closed. A solid
superstructure of masonry, vita exterior
walls presenting as finished an appear
ance as that of we'll. built houss', AMI
ornamented at the top with arches and
ratings was constructed. On this was
laid the tracks; laid, as l have said, with
as much care and of as durable material
as will be found anywhere. Going
through the most pOpulous districts, it
neither by smoke, sound, nor appearance
causes annoyance of any character. For
miles ensconcei under the massive road
way are to be found restaurants AMI
shops where people eat, drink, sell, and
buy without the least consciousness Of
the rumble and roar above their heads.

The DeatII-Watch.

tleman who supposed himself entire
" free from this or any other super

tlnuous ticking Of the death-watch in

slight a think had awakened him, and
composed himself to sleep again; but
to his annoyance he found it impossi-
BILE TO do so.
He listened to the sound of the
leath-watch with an indeflnable but
constantly increasing uneasiness, and
when, after a time, he heard the dis

and not a little disguised to find his
heart beating with unnatural rapid

The gentleman lay awake for the
remainder of the night, uneasy, dis
concerted, and yainly endeayoring
to reason himself into a saner frame
of mind. He rose in the morning

any mysterious noise in the wall to

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
I'LANTAIN.

The most efficient wholesale treatment
of plantain Is choking it down with
dense crops of clover, or destroying it by
cultivated crops, but this course cannot
be used on large lawns. Ga small lawns
or with few plants each plant may be
killed with drop or two of sulphuric
acid dropped with rod on the crown
of each plant, but clre must be taken
not to walk on the lawn till rain occurs,
or the acid will cut the shoes. Without
killing the plants, it may be kept from
increasing by close lawn-mowing, sew
eral times in the season, or as often as 1t
quickly throws up its seed spikes and
before the seed can form. Both species
of plantain are perennials, the broad
leaved one being more common along
foot-walks, and the narrow leayed more
frequently found in meadows and lawns.
Both are foreigners. The seeds Of the
rarrow-leaved are about the size of clio
yer seed and become very readily mixed
with it, and foul clover-seed thus spreads
the weed. Country Gentleman.

Pewter Figure From Stick Of Wood.

The Enquirer Sun was shown yester-
day curiosity in the shape of we'll
defined profile of a female figure in pew
ter, measuring about q by 3 inches and
weighing four and fve-eighth ounces.
The figure, which is plain from the head
to about the knees, is formed in a sort
of canopy, and the manner in which 1t is
fashioned, as we'll as the source from
which it came, is exceedingly curious

stick became thoroughly heated she OBJ
served what appeared to be molten lead
running from the middle of stick on to
the hearth, where it formed the singular
curiosity above described. As soon as
the lead became cool and solidified she
priced il from the bricks with Il case
knife and was astonished beyond meas
ure to find it fashioned in the shape of a
female figure. IL was carried to Pekor's
jcwclry store yesterday morning, where
Mr.. Pekor, after investigation, pro-
nounced the material Pure pewter. How
the metal came in the wood is something
that cannot be explained. The wood

Il Climbs Upon the Ice.

One of the most extraordinary boats
on the American lakes is a passenger
transfer ferryboat operated in the Straits
of Mackinac by the DIluth, South Shore
e. Atlantic Railroad. 1t has an enor-
nous capacity for carrying cars, but its
peculiarities are its strength, its shape,
and the number of its steam engines. 1t
carries twenty-four steam engines for the
performance of the various requirements
of its daily business. The hull of the
boat is as solid as the walls OF au old
time block house. The bow rises from
the water so as to hang or slant over it
as if it were a hammer-and that is
what it was built to be.
The boat is an ice breaker, intended
to keep channel open in the straits
during the winter, or to make one when
ever 1t is pushed into the massive ice
that forms in that cold region. The big
boat advances toward the ice aud, SHOW
ing its nose upon its edge, hits herself
upon it. Then a screw propeller under
the overhaDging bow performs its WORK
OF sucking the water from under the ice
to enable the boats weight to crush it
down the more easily. Thus, the de.
structive monster makes her way steadily
through the worst ice Of the Semi-polar
winters of that region, climbing upon
the ice, crushing it down, scattering it
on each side, and making no more of it
than If it were so much slush. -Nev

Our WaIrus Eatinl Citizens.

Ivan Petroff, the United States special
agent, has been engaged in taking the
census of the natives of Nunivak Island,
in Behring Sea, in sixty degrees north
latitude. He found the population to
consist of over 500 natives. 1t was pre-
viously supposed that over 800 people
occupied the island. There are no white
men there, aud the natives live in a mos!
primitive style. Their only food is the
flesh of the walrus, and their ouly wealth
consists of ivory obtained from the tusks
of that animal. There are few land
otter, but, apart from these, the natives
catch no fur bearing animals.

IMPROVING FLoCKs OF SHEET.

Though the price of wool is extremely
low it is so necessary product that if
properly managed it may always be made
profitable. Due regard must be had in
this to the improvement of focks as we'll
as to the increase of weight and value of
the fleece. A farmer who grades up his
flock either for mutton or wool adds 50
much to its salable value that this alone
makes profit, though the WOO crop
may not much more than pay expenses.
Continuing the same policy of flock in
provement, the wool grower iuds after a
while that he can sell his wool at greater
profit. By this time he will probably
begin to breed some thoroughbreds. In
few years the grades will be discarded
as not sufficiently profitable in compari
son. The flock of scrubs is thus replaced
with one of pure blood with compare
lively little expense except the first cost
of a ram and one or two thoroughbred
ewes with which to start the business.
This is the way that most of the success
full breeders began business. Few Of
them had much money at first. They
have grown rich by beginning in small
way, constantly improving their docks
uatil they are worth many thousand dol
lars. All the way up their sheep have
increased in proftableness, and what they
have done is possible to all who will give
equal attention and care to the business

Escalloped Meat-Beef, veal or mutton
left over cold can be used for scallops.
Chop, but not too fine, season With salt.
Allow half as much bread crumbs as
meat and bowl of gravy. Butter an
earthen baking dish, put in layer Of
meat, then pour over little gravy, about
two spoontuls, and on top layer OF
crumbs. Alternate the layers until the
dish is full, putting thicker layer of
crumbs on top. Bake twenty or twenty
five minutes.
Meat Hash-Corn beef is best, but
other meats can be used. Allow nearly
twice as much cold chopped potato as
meat, put two or three spoonfuls of
butter in spider and half as much
water. When hot, put hash in and
cover five minutes, set it on top of the
stove where it will brown on the bottom,
not burn; after while turn 1t over so as
to brown the rest. Some prefer to use
half cup of sweet cream, instead of
browning it.
Boiled Corned Beef-Put on the meat
in cold water; allow one quart of water
to every pound of meat. The slower it
boils the better it will be. For every
pound of meat let it boil fifteen minutes;
thus, a piece of beef weighing twelve
pounds should boil three hours. If the
beef is to be eaten cold, as soon as it is
taken out of the pot immerse it in cold
water for short time, in order to retain
the juices. Tongues are boiled in the
same manner.
