The medical aspect Of hyppotism Il
suggestive OF value. 1t Is doubtful
whether it will prove as available 10
colder climates as it has in India, il
place of an anesthetic in surgery, but
it still has evidences Of great benefit.
The physical condition is to q large ex.
tent dependent upon the mental, and
hypnotism helps control the mind. In
the wakeful state, suggestion is q pow
er 'ul fictor in our actions, and in the
sub normal hypnotic condition it be-
comes very much more potent. Sug.
gestion Is the chief value of many
forms of cure-shrlnes ,holy-water, rel
les, horse. chestnuts, electric belts and
faith-cure. In these, however, fashion
is also a potent element, for the I'M
fashionable remedy no longer cuses.
Fhus il may be seer that hypnotism
has, it its principles, factors OF essen.
tial curative value in its ability to con
troll the body through the mind.
A short explanation of the methods
of inducing hypnotic condition, of the
control of the patient in this state and
Of the D of releasing him, was
then gwen by Prof. Flllebrown, who
commented on the necessity for calm
ness in experiments of this character,
nnd the avoidance Of any condition,
mental or physical. which might alarm
or excite the subject.
In conclusion, the pertinent question
was asked, is there not danger IN these
rem lrkable conditions? There certain
ly is Il niger, but this lies in ignoring
these pienome6a which We ought ia
stuiy. There is no danger in the truth
the conditions and phenomena are ma
tural and it is important that the laws
and their bearing upon our lives be
understood. There is, indeed, danger
in ign franc of these factors of oul
mental organization.

TEA AND COFFEE.

The physiological action OF this
pleasant beverage is so well known
that any extended discussion Of 10
would seem superfuous; we shall
therefore, only recall the chief facts
connected with it. We all know that
it causes cheerfulness, clearness Of
mind, ~wakefulness and nervousness;

cessory to every we'll spread board. In
fact it is n of those Injuries which
custom clothes in the garments of ne
cessity. There is, however, In con-
nection with tea one point which
should not be forgotten. To main.
tain ordinary health the body requires
immediate nourishment early in the
morning, and for that reason, tea,
which retards the action of the natural
functions, should be banished from she
breakfast table, and should appear al
lunch and after dinner. Certain rules
should be followed by habitual ten
drinkers, if they wish to use their
favorite beverage without injurious eff
fects. They should use a moderate
quantity Of tea, always making the in
fusion the moment the water boils. be.
fore it has an opportunity to lose all its
valuable gases by continual ebnllition.
Cool, fresh water is more wholesome
than that which has been standing in n
warm close room, or exposed to the
rays OF the sun. Employ milk as AL
adjurct. aud sugar if liked. Espec-
tally remember that high priced teas
nre less desirable for general use
than the medium qualities, both on
account of their prices, and because.
owing to their purity and strength, they
abound in deleterious prope ties. 4
judicious mixture of several
kinds OF tea is often advisable.
An excellent English mixture, which
combines cheapness with fineness of
flavor, is composed of one pound of
Congo tea with a quarter of a pound
each of Assam and Orange Pekoe. The
usual mixture of black and green teas
is four parts of black to CT green.
II is q mistake to make tea strong, j
the full favor is desired. Professional
tea-tasters use tut a single pinch to ID
Gupful of boiling water. In China and
Russia, where tea is made to perfec-
ton, it is very weak, boiling water
being poured on a few leaves, the de-
coction covered for a few minutes, and
then drunk lot and clear. Two min
utes IS long enough for tea to stand,
and it should never be boiled, or the
fine aroma which exists in the volatile
oil will be thrown off by evapt ration,
leaving as iavoring only the bitter
principle OF the tannic acid extracted
by boiling.
When hard water Is used in making
tea, a little carbonate of soda put in
the teapot will both increase the
strength of the tea and make it more
nutritious, tie alkali dlssolying the

The ply siologi ri action of coffee is

A farmer before departing this
world made his will. He had in his
possession eighteen horses, but before
the will was proved one Of the horses
lied, which left only seventeen to be
divided. His eldest son was to get
one-half of the horses, his second son
one-third, and his Youngest son one
ninth. These portions were easily
enough separated when there were
eighteen horses to divide, but how To
allot seventeen horses in three parts
was a puzzle. They scratched long
at their heads, but could find no way
out OF the difficulty. At last they
called in the assistance Of the local

Umbrellas as Tests of Character.

An umbrella, it is said, can be
taken as test Of character.
The man who always takes an UNI
brella out with him is cautious fell
low, who abstains from all sperula-
ton and is sure to die rich.
The man who is always leaving his
umbrella behind him is one who gen.
orally makes no provision for the
morrow. He is reckless, thoughtless,
always late for the train, leaves the
street door open when he goes home
late at night, and is absentminded
to such degree as to speak i'll Of a
baby in the presence of its mother.
The man who is always losing his

not met, whose boots split, whose

ing off, and whose change is apt to
have some bad money in it. Be eau

Some Strange Figures.

The heaviest loss of life occurred one
evening in 1864. Thirteen Codfedi
crates sought shelter from the fire d
the monitors in brick bomb-prooi
constructed year before. A 300.
pound Parrot shell from one of the
feet struck in such a manner as ia
cave in the brick roof on the men, and
every one of them was crushed to
death. As near as could be figured by
those in the fort, one man was wornd'
ed for every 5000 pounds of metal
thrown, and one killed for every $500
pounds. By this figuring st least
thirty 3OO-pound shells were thrown
for every man killed. Placing the
cost at the lowest figure, the Federals
paid at least 5000 in cash for every
death in that fort. The operations
around Charleston, directly aimed at
Sumter, cost the Federal Government
from 10000, 900 to 1926. 0OO, 900 and
10000 lives.

How Gold Rings Are Made.

Gold rings are made from bars nine
or fifteen inches long. A bar fifteen
inches long, about two inches wide
and three-sixteenths of an inch thick,
is worth about f2OO. 1t would make
three or four hundred four penny.
weight rings. A dozen processes and
twenty minutes time are required to
change the bar into merchantable
rings. A pair OF shears cuts the bars
into strips. BY the turn of wheel,
one, two, three times, the guillotine-
like blade Of the shears cuts the bar
into slices, one, two, or three six
teenths Of an inch wide. A rolling
machine presses out the strips and
makes them fiat or grooved. Each
strip Is then put under the blOwpipe
and annealed. The oxide of copper
comes to the surface and is put into
pickle Of sulphuric acid, the bit of
gold is stamped with its quality and
the name Of the maker, and Is put
through machine that bends it into
the shape of ring, the same making
d ring of any size. The ends are SOL
dered with an alloy of inferior fine
ness to the quality Of the ring.
Many people imagine that rings are
run in mold because they can't see
where they are soldered. The ring
spins through the turning lathes, is
rounded and pared, and polished first
with tripoli and then with steel
filings and rouge.

The author is disposed to think that
