DON'T ABBREVATE NAMES
Taste Demands the Use of the Full
Christian Name When Possible.

The newspapers note a marked tend
name in books and standard publica-
lions, and in social matters One now
seldom see the name of an author on
the title page of a new book with the
mere initials. Ralph Waldo Emerson
practically began this in the United
States, and even Thomas Wentworth
HigginSOnS later books have followed
this plan Of signature. The full name
is impracticable in newspaper work,
says the Champaign Gazette, especially
when there are two or more; but in
cases where there is but one single
christian name, both on account of the
appearance and for the sake certainty,
it is highly important that it should be
given in full. Nobody with a good eye
or ear can be satisfied to see or hear
such a name as @. Sharp or J. Jones,
not to mention J. Smith, and the num-
Der of names that appear in this slip
ShOd manner in the newspapers is
something The explanation is that re
pOrterS find it next to an impOSSibility
" QUAIL tOlItCuy. pcSduS'>
everybody has a large number of ac-
quaintances concerning whom no Occa-
sion has arisen for learning the full
and correct names. An intOlerable
abomination also is the abbreviatiOn of
such names as John, James and Charles
into Jno., JAS, JOS, and Chas. Not
less distressing is the habit of men
tiOning in print the familiar names of
elderly people with the prefix of
uncle" "aunt," grandfather, grand
MOTHER" squire" and the like. This
class of people may be deferentiaIly
mentioned as Mr.. or Mrs, followed by
the correct initials, where there are
two or more, or with the first Chris
tan name always spelled out where
there is but one and preferably so if
there are two.

THE LOST LETTER.

Somebody sent me u love-letter;
1t came by first mail yesterday.
| sat with my hands full of roses,
And watched the white sails Oh the
bay.
The sails fled like spirits in the dis
lance;
My letter fiuttered away.
l read but four lines on the paper
Dear lady, | love- when the wind
Took Oft all the fragrant rose-petals;
Sped phantom sails, dimly outlined;
Bore far out Of sight the coy mis-
SiYe.
Oh, was the breeze cruel or kind?
Perhaps he loved Egypt or Ind.
Do L care to see all the harbors
Of ships fitting PAST, to and fro?
10 | care 10 know where rose-petals,
Or the loves Of mems hearts may go?
All, me; do l much care to know?
An hours passing fancies; fresh
roses;
The thrill of ole sweet thought, and
10.
My day was made happy,-"dear
lady
love-"ah, no more would | know.

SERVANT GIRLS FEEL 1T.

Minneapolis, Aug. 25.-One effect OF
the stringent times locally is to cause
a surplus of servant girls. Wages have
accordingly fallen from 81 to 5 z
week. and still large numbers of girls
cannot obtain work.

The farmers in the far northwest,
it is said, are beginning to feel the
need Of money to move their crops and
the railroads suffer with the farmers
in the falling off of their business.
These facts are said to have been in
f1uential in changing the minds of sew
era1 senators heretofore classed among
the opponents of immediate or uncon-
ditional repeal Of the Sherman law.

BOGUS HYPNOTIsM.
Astounding Confessions of Fraud
by Professional Subjects
Some of the "Fahes" of Rumbug Mes
merists In Europe-How q Man
Was Apparently Hypnotized
by Telephone.

Hypnotism has been having a hard
time lately in London, Paris and Eu-
rope generally, but especially in Eng
Land. Confessions of professional sub
jects have become common. There is,
indeed. very strong disposition to
reject hypnotism entirely and consign
it TO the limbo of exploded fakes.
The London Times had a series of
letters some time ago from an eyewit-
ness and alleged Investigator of the re-
markable doings of Prof. Charcot and
other less noted doctors in Paris, de-
scribing in detail the s'desensitiza-
ton of subjects, the ''mind transfer
ence," and all the wondrous things
made familiar to us of late years, and
setting up a seemingly strong case in
favor of all that has been claimed for
hypnotism.
/. This induced Mr.. Labouchere of
Truth. to tell of an interview he had
with one of the hypnotic subjects most
before the public q short time ago.
This subject gave undoubted evidence
that he humbugged the doctors
throughout, and that by practice he
and other well-xnown subjects, whom
he named had cultivated the ability to
eat candles and soap, and to drink

as if eating cake and drinking wine,
as Suggested" to them. He permit
ted needles to be thrust through his
ears and cheeks, and thoroughly salts
fed Mr.. Labouchere that he could sub
nit to all the wonderful things COM
mon in hypnotic demonstrations.
This seemed to hurt the mesmerist
business, and apparently the subjects
were thrown out of work. They have
turned to and deluged the land with
confessions. Some are astounding, all
are amusing. One man tells how he
travelled for a year, along with five
other subjects, with one of the best
known travelling mesmerists in the
country. The man was really able to
mesmerize people and perform some of
the actual wonders of the remarkable.

face to face.
The professor went about mile
away, called up his desired subject to
the telephone fixed on the stage, and
told him to go to sleep. The man
promptly complied, and the doctors
jabbed pins and needles into his flesh,
pinched him, pulled his tongue and
polzed his eyes. The man was in pos
session of all his senses. A dozen times
he wanted to yell but held out, know
ing that the professor was driving to
the hall as fast as horse could bring
him. Finally the subject was placed
with his feet on one chair and his
neck on another, and two fat doctors
sat on his chest. His backbone was
just giving out when the professor
rushed breathlessly into the hall and
released him. This subject soon after

ne starts for Europe with HI. $50, 900.

With languid, measured tread he as
cended the gang plank, the waiting
hundred stepped back in awed silence,
making passage for him, and bowed in
speechless reverence as he passed. The
vision of loveliness had been too much
for them.
Paddy wore tall silk hat much too
small for him, which nestled down on
his chrysanthemum locks like a cork in
a demijohn. He also wore chastened
look, for he had been up late the night
before playing billiards and smoking
cigarettes, Hislong black overcoat was
thrown back and disclosed his low, roll
ing collar, Tapping white tie and equally
white throat.
The women lost consciousness only for
moment. When Paddy had reached
the upper deck they made a wild rush
after him, surrounded him, shook his
hand, begged for his autograph, and
hoped "Oh, so much, Mr.. Paderewski, -
that he would come back. Most of the
women had the Paris passenger list in
their hands, and wanted the idols auto
graph on that.
He had q hard time writing those
autographs. He wrote against the side
of the deck cabin sometimes, but as he
wrote his left hand would be grasped by
one or two admirers, and having only
one hand with which to hold the paper
and pencil, he frequently dropped one
or both. Once when he dropped his
pencil he muttered to reporter to kick
it overheard. This the sympathetic
man did, but a woman with phenomenal
adroitness found her pocket before the
ship sailed, and produced another pencil.
When it was seen that there were not
going to be autographs enough to go
around the women began stealing each
others lists which has already been
signed.
He said, in answer TO anxious in
quiries, that his health was improved
and that he had only pleasant recollec.
tions of his American tour, excepting
his recent Chicago experience. He de-
clared vehemently that his treatment BY
the Chicago papers was nothing less
than outrageous, and all the women
shuddered to think that the Chicago
papers could be so incomprehensibly
wicked. He consoled his adorers ther
by adding that he had taken in $3.50 ,00(

HOW we TASTE.
The Middle OF the Tongue Is the Most
Sensitive.

The Middle OF the Tongue Is the Most
Sensitive.
Strictly speaking, with the tip of the
tongue one cannot really taste at all
If you put u drop of oil of bitter almonds
on that part of the mouth you will find,
no doubt, to your great surprise that it
produces no effect of any sort; you only
taste 1T when it begins slowly to diffuse
itself and reaches the true tasting region
in the middle distance. But if you put
a little mustard or cayenne on the same
part you will find that it bites you inn
mediately--the experiment should be
tried sparingly-while if you put it
lower down in the mouth you will swal-
low it almost without noticing the pun
gency of the stimulant.
The reason is, says the Yankee Blade,
that the tip of the tongue is supplied
only with the nerves of touch, not
nerves of taste proper; they belong to a
totally different main branch, and they
go to different center in the brain,
together with the very similar threads,
which supply the nerves of smell for
mustard and pepper.
That is why the smell and taste of
these pungent substances are so much
alike, as everybody must have noticed,
a good sniff at a mustard pot producing
almost the same irritating effects as an
incautious dose.
When one is trying deliberate expert
ments on the subject in order to test
the varying sensitiveness of the differ
ent5parts to different substances it is
necessary to keep the tongue quite
dry in order to isolate the thing you
are experimenting with and prevent it
spreading to all parts of the mouth to-
gether. In actual practice this result
is obtained in rather lpdicrous man
ner-by blowing upon the tongue be-
tween each experiment with pair of
bellows. To such undignified expe-
dients does the pursuit of science lead
the modern Psychologist.
