Medical Magnetism.

Doctor Frederick Peterson, New
York expert in nervous diseases, has
been making a series OF careful experi-
ments 10 determine the value of mag
netism in the therapeutics OF neurotic
disorders, and has just published the re-
suits IN the New York Medical Journal.
Considering all that Doctor Charcot has
said upon the benefcent influences OF
magnetism on the human system, it is a
little odd to have Doctor Peterson assert
that the human organism is in no wise ap-
precably affected by the most powerful
magnets known to science. The ordinary
magnets used in medicine have purely
suggestive or physic effect, and would in
all probability be quite as useful if made
OF wood" 1t seems to be the old case.
Doctors disagree. You pays your money
and you takes your choice.-New Or

busy on the following day in winding
up his business affairs. The little flower
stand was no longer to be the means of
support of the widow. They had de-
cided to move into some quiet cottage
in the country, where they could begin
their life anew. The wedding was as
quiet as the engagement.
John Scolard arranged for the place
and had it furnished handsomely. 1t
was far beyond his wife's anticipation,
and she was agreeably surprised at the
surroundings. Jennie was jubilant with
the new prospect.
"It's SO nice and cosy here" she said
gleefully. "It's even better than at
boarding school,"
"rm happy if it will suit you," John
Scollard said, with peculiar smile.
"This must content us in the summer
time, and in the winter we can live in
our city home"
"Why, you expect to make money
again in hurry" his wife said with a
look Of doubt.
"No, it is already made" he replied
slowly.
''But that was all lost"
''No, not quite" he answered. "The
reports were somewhat mixed. had
sold out my shares of mining stock be-
fore the crash came"
There was an expression of anxiety on
his wife's face. Her cheeks paled and
then flushed. She had married wealthy
man after all. She buried her face in her
hands, but John removed them and said ::
"But you did not know it. You married
me for myself, and not for my money.
1t was against your principles to take me
when l was wealthy, but now that we
have the money we should not regret 1t.
That's the common-sense view of it,
Jennie"
After some reflection she thought SO
too, and she accepted her condition with
good grace; but she was never quite
sure in her own mind that the reported
failure was not a scheme on her husbands
part to win her for his wife. " ankee

Magnifled by Mist.

The magnifying power of mist has
often been described, but perhaps never
IN more striking manner than by Mr..
Pike in the Barren Ground OF Northern
Canada" 1--WE were travelling in a
thick fog and saw an animal, apparently
at some distance, bounding along the
horizon at most remarkable pace. All
down the line there were cries of
Musk OK" Wolff Guns were snatched
from the sieighs and the dogs charged
at a gallop In pursuit. of the strange
animal After rush of ten yards the
quarry disappeared. The first man had
put his foot on it aud it turned out to be
one OF the small mice so common in that
country"

AS hope that pales to fear

As the thrill and stir that bring
Promise of the tuiding spring:
As new thoughts of life that rise

As strange Joy to hearts forlorn.
