Remarkable HYpnotism.

went to Vienna some years ago to
study and saw some wonderful things
done by the professor who lectured
on hypnotism. One OF the most re-
markable examples of hypnotic effect,
and one Of which but little is known,
is the connection of ideas between
the hypnotic state and the normal
condition.
For instance, 1 saw a young Ger
man girl hypnotized. Toward the
close of the experiment the professor
told the girl that in half an hour he
wanted her TO strike the tallest man
in the room with glass rod, and
that she must get the watch Of DIR.
-, one of the assistants, without
fail. In few moments the girl was
restored to her normal state and
asked us a number of questions about
what she had said and done. Then
we began to chat on other matters.
Just thirty minutes after the COM
mand Of the professor the girl be-
came restless and walked quickly to
a table on which lay glass rod. She
then came and struck me with ii
sharply several times.
"Why do you do that, fraulein?"
asked.
"Oh, / don't know. i don't know, .
she answered in a. much distressed
tone, ~but ! have to do IL; something
tells me to do it.
She then went to DR.. - and
asked for his watch. At first he re-
fused TO give il TO her, and she be-
came frantic in her pleadings, saying
she must have it at once. and she
seized him and tried to take IL from
him. That is but one or the many
instances have seen where COM
mands given out to hypnotized per-
son were carried out later when they
were i'm normal condition. Once this
same girl did what she was told a
week after the experiment, that be-
ing the tine fixed by the professor

The idea that by constructing war
vessels for the lakes Canada or Great
Britain reveals an intention to attack
the United States is wide stretch of
the imagination. To-be sure, the
construction or launching of such
vessels on the lakes is a violation of
treaty stipulations. 1t is exactly
what Canada or England would do If
war were designed; but the inverse of
this proposition is not true--to wit,
that the war vessels disclose wal
purpose. The security of the United
States does not lie in her own arma-
ment or in the disarmament of her
neighbors. Her peaceful intentions
and her desire to yield to all just de-
mands, her refusal to become en-
broiled in European questions, are
her best guaranty of peace. Add to
this her geographical isolation, her
resources, intelligence, patriotism.
and growth, and the idea Of a volun-
tary assailant becomes an absurdity.
If Canada, however, is violating
treaty rights she ought to be re-
minded of it. If her violation should
lead up to an abrogation Of the treaty
it is not likely that evil would result.
The United States Government does
not particularly need war vessels on
the lakes. but the right to float them
there would do no harm.

Extraordinary Properties of a Nut.


The wonderful stories that have
been told of the life-giving properties
of the celebrated "kola" nut of West
ern and Southern Africa are even
more than confirmed by eulogistic
letter written by the British Consul
at Bahia. The West African carri-
ers at that port continually use the
kolo, which they carry about care
fully wrapped in pieces Of banana
peel. These human beasts of burden
are not, physically speaking, superior
to the Brazilian negro, yet this Afri-
can, with the additional nerve force
impaired by the kola nut, can endure
from ten to one hundred hours OF
fatigue, the half of which would kill
the laborer foolhardy enough to at.
tempt 1t without using the invigo-at-
ing little nut
Where it takes eight Brazilian
negroes to carry load with difficulty.
four African porters carry it cheer
fully along, singing as if each mus
cular exertion was exhilarating joy.
Where kolo eaters are employed in
unloading vessels they are always
given twice the pay received by thei
competitors who do not use the nU'
There are thousands of this latt
class, the majority OF whom refuse
eat it because of belief that til,
devil originated the nut for the spe.
cial use Of those he desired to have
as laborers in his vineyard.

A Fruitful Fowl.

We are indebted to French scien
list, remarks an exchange, for the
information that the egg chamber of
an average healthy hen contains soc
eggs and that, as rule, it takes nine
years to lay them. More than hall
of the eggs-between 300 and 375-
are laid during the second, third and
fourth years, and the number then
gradually decreases, from is to 30
being laid in the eighth yeaf'And from
/ to 10 in the ninth. From all OF
which 1t is manifest that it does not
pay to feed hen after the fourth
year. There has long been an i'm.
preston that hens after that age are
unproducbiye, but the French scien-
tist Is the first to tell us why they
cannot be productive. II Is just such
information as this that is needed by

1t Is mistake to go to bed hungry;
but the last meal of the day should
be of light, easily digested food. A
glass of milk, with thin bread and
butter, or biscuit, or even some
thing more substantial o&hen it can
be borne, will prevent wakeftflness.
The digestion should not be taxed to

quickly, and dry the skin without
unnecessary friction. If this is i'm
possible, at least battle the feet
Avoid standing in draught. If the
sleeping-room is warm, 1t may be
cooled for time by wringing large
pieces OF cotton cloth out OF water and
hanging them up before the open
windows. Leave the door open, and
as the air comes through the wet
cotton it will be cooled. This is a
good device for. cooling sick-room;
the clothes can then be wet again
and again. Keep the gas turned low
during the process OF undressing, and
sleep without light, unless IL is a
tiny night lamp. The ideal bed is,
Of course, a woven wire mattress, with
a thin hair mattress, on 1t. Folded
blankets make a good substitute for
the latter. If the sleeper is restless,
the corners Of under sheet can be
turned under and firmly pinned at
the lower side of the mattress to pre-
vent it from wrinkling itself into
