Ineffioiency and recklessness marked
the work OF the finance committees Of
the two bodies, from beginning to end.
The appropriation bills were not re-
ported by the committees until the very
closing hours of the ninety days session.
Then it was found that the proposed
appropriations exceeded the revenues of
the State, by over half million dollarsi
Here is the comparison:
Appropriations by legislature of 1889
Republican, $S,7a5,514.
Appropriations by legislature of 1891
"a, 53S, 0Ss.
This, then, was the result of all their
intriguing and soheming--the finale of
the loud boast of retrenchment and re-
form?
The bills carrying this enormous in
crease We're passed.
Then, TO provide means for paying all
these swollen and extravagant appropri-
ations, the reform, fusion legislature. Son
the last night of its ignoble and disas-
trous session, passed bill increasing
the levy for state taxes from ITO
mills, as it had stood under Republican
rule, to 2 40 mills as it stands today-a
raise of half mill, CT about 100000 a
year.
This 10 the dear price the dear people
have paid for ninety days experiment
with 'fusion" reforms.
The ''reformers" feathered their own
nests tool
They had been specially clamorous
about the expenses of Republican legis-
latiye sessions.
They promised special economy and
reform in this matter of their own pick
ings and perquisites.
What was the result there9
The total expense Of the Republican
legislative session of 1889 was $149, TT. so.
The total expense of the Democratic
Alliance Legislative session of 1891 was
$l6e, G 2@}.55!.
Surplus cost of reform" $l3, 175. 80.
How is tl.is fo1 'fuSion" economy?
The httl5 petty steals were phenome-
mai ii their number and boldness.
More clerks, ushers and hangers-o
were employed than ever before.
Each fusion" senator was given So
pocket knife at the expense Of the state
Republicans were put off with an in
ferior article.
Each senator was given a supply Of
fine stationery, engraved for his special
use with name and home address, suff-
Gent for years.
Everything that could be thought of
to make an odious and hateful record Of
small pilfering was apparently in
dulged in.
Experienced lobbyists say it was the
''cheapest" lot of statesmen ever as
sembled
The whole session was a sickening,
miserable, expensive farce. It closed,
not in a blaze Of glory, but in q smudge
of bad smelling smoke.
The people of the state have not so
completely forgotten it as to be ready to
entrust the same elements in power a
second time. If they did these things
in the ''green" tree what will they do In
the dry?

Eating Rats.

We have tasted the rats that have run
riot in isolated wheat ricks, and we can
conscientiously aver that they are both
both sweet and succulent. Their flesh
is white as that of a sweetbread, and
has nnquestionably more flavor. We
understand that field mice are still more
delicate, and considering the simple and
wholesome habits Of their virtucus lives,
we can we'll believe it. The English
man in Paris" speaks of Il salmi served
soon after the beginning of the seige of
the commune, and the very memory of
it seems to have made his mouth water.
Yet the town mice scarcely gave the ex-
pertinent fair trial, for they had been
shared ON the bastions between the outer
boulevards and the Notifications

II worked to Perfection.

Two young women stood by the CASH
iers window the other day. One was an
ambitious writer of verse whose etfusions
had been persistently rejected by stony
editors, and the other was q teacher out
of a position and sorely in debt. They
were engaged, just then, in commiserat-
ing each other, when suddenly a little
brown dwarf with hump and mourn
fully patient face pushed her way up to
the paying place. ..My dear girl, now's
your everlasting chance" whispered the
poetess excitedly "Get right up be-
hind her, where she can't see you, and
touch her hump. Then I'll follow suit.
It's bound to bring us good luck; better
than q rabbits foot; never knew it t.
fail"
"What nonsense! won't be such a
goose! demurred the teacher girl. But
go ahead yourself" and she stood aside
for the other to get into q secure posi-
ton; the whole charm depending of
course upon doing it unknown to the
humpbacked one.
1t is only necessary to add that the ex-
pertinent was entirely successful, and
that the poetess went straight home and
wrote Glowing and Losing" which she
sold today for-but that is another story.

THE ABUSE OF H4PNcTlSM.

Quacks and Charlatans Who Make Use OF
It to Gull the Public.
While the benefits from hypnotism
thus far have been few and small, the
evils have been many and great. Its
sleeplike state is not normal sleep,
bringing health and strength to the
slumberer, but morbid condition bor

rily if not organically weakens the sys-
tenn. This drawback is serious enough.
Darker and more terrible effects lie in
the suppression of the objects will for
the time being, and the substitution
therefor of the operators. In this re-
gard it opens avenues to crime and crimi.
nails such us has never been equaled
heretofore. Already SO many discredit-
able actions, not to use stronger word,
have been committed in Europe BY
means Of hypnotism that in Italy, Ats
tro-Hungary, parts Of Switzerland, Co.
penhagen and other municipalities laws
have been enacted prohibiting its public
practice by any except physicians. So,
on the other hand, the police, without
any statute on the subject, have treated
travelling mesmerists as disorderly char
acters. Thus Donate was expelled from
Italy, and Hansen, another hypnotist,
from Austria, was notified never to re-
turn under penalty of arrest, fine and
imprisonment.
This Donate (whose real name, by tho
way, is Dlon) hypnotized on Italian ar
tillery officer, who immediately became
half crazy. From time to time he would
20 into so.nnambulism at the sight of a
bright object. He would follow carriage
lamps, and unless prevented would walk
toward locomotive or steamer lights.
An architectural student was mesmer-
lied by staring at his compasses, after
which it was impossible for him to draw
without going to sleep.
4 young girl of Milan, of beauty and
character, was hypnotized and impressed
with the notion that she was married ia
a man she hadnever seen but once. and
then in the darkness. She went crazy
and died in a hospital.
Another young girl (of- Paris, this
time) was put under q similar spell and
was ruined. She finally entered the
Saltpetriere hospital, where, after long
and painful remedy, what was left Of
her former self was pronounced cured.

stopped, of course, and stepped back qui-
city to let him pass. But he did not.
He came nearer. I then thought he
was curious, but SOON found that an
other feeling than curiosity was moving
him. AS I reiterated he still advanced,
until found myself damned up against
the rock. I could retreat no farther,
and yet the brute came on determinedly.
But instead of approaching me with his
long nose-for you don't see his jaws
ne turned his side and began to rub up
against me. I had small Jumper" in
my hand, which I held with the point
outward against his skin, as I did not
wish to have his rough skin scoring
along my dress.
It was something like what a COW
would be rubbing against you. The
iron on his skin was, however, the very
thing he wanted, as he soon gave me to
understand. Twas kept there at least
half an hour scratching that monster
with the sharp iron. He took it like a
pig. bending his body and turning over
on his side so as to present a fresh sur
face to the jumper. I suppose he must
have felt easier for the operation, for
after time he moved away.
I had one or two further visits from
him on following days, on each of which
was obliged to scratch him for time.
I think he must have recognized me as
kindly and effectual scratcher. i'm
agine he was suffering from some para
sitical or skin disease, to which he may
have fallen victim. Otherwise I might
be in that scratching billet still.-"A

Things That Affect the Hypnotic State.
The differences in the climates appear
to have great influence on hypnotic sus-
ceptibility. Southerners and altogether
those who have been exposed to the
tropical heat are much more easily in
fuenced tn, those who live in the tenn
perate or rigid zones. Hypnosis not
only appears sooner in the tropical eli
mates, but it is usually deeper, and the
more complicated conditions of the
states invariably appear Immediately.
The hypnotic susceptibility does not de-
pend on these circumstances alone.
There are many other conditions which
we must find partly outside Of the indi-
vidual and partly within. 1t is neces-
sary to especially notice the different
tempers of mind, such as delight, sor.
row, etc.
What also works against coming into
the hypnotic state is overexertion, either
mentally or bodily, an empty or over
loaded stomach, excessive use of certain
nourishing substances, liquors, strong
spices, coffee or tea. All these condi-
tons more or less prevent or disturb the
coming hypnosis. Furthermore, out
ward influences, such as temperature.
dress, place of residence and surround
ings, should all be considered. The
room in which experiments are to be
performed must neither be too warm nor
too cold.-Chicago Herald.
