ST. PAUL, MINI, Ang. 24.-In tho

sections. indicate that the wheat Weld
IN the northern and central portions of
the state is much less than last year,
while in the southern portion crops
are generally good. The latter is es-
pecially ;rue of the southwestern counl

twelve bushels per acre. Cropa
arc better in Kittson and

Season OF rain and bad weather before

that No hard and No. I northern will

HYPNOSIS IN AN EGG.
Mysterious and Little Known Property
of Uuambitious Hen Fruit.

NJ. Horace Palleticr has story in
La Putr Uniuerseiie about the property
of magnetism in eggs, of which hc
says:
Eggs do not serve only for nourish-
ment of man; they possess serious
magnetic properties. An egg has its
positive pole at its small end and its
negative pole at the large end. 1t
has, like n magnet, its neutral line at
an equal distance from the large and
small ends.
Moreover, with an egg you may
put to sleep and awaken subject Of
hypnotism. You apply the small end
/. to the middle of the forehead of the
subject at the root of the hair and he
goes to sleep. When you are assured
that your subject is well under intlu-
ence you turn the egg and apply the
large end and the subject awakes.
Uhis experiment is among the easiest
imaginable and success always guar
anteed.
Il had given oneday in the presence
of number of persons seance at the
house of the teacher. M. Caller. ]
did not fail to make nn experiment
with an egg. My success was COM
plete.
"a lady who was among the visitors
was very much impressed by it. On
the next day sho had nothing more
pressing than to try the application OF
the small end of an oge to the fore
head of one of her servants The
young maid did not wait long before
going into profound sleep. After
little while the mistress tried to
awaken her. but had forgotten the
process of applying the large end OF
the egg to the same place where the
small end had been applied. The
good lady shook her servant, shouted
into her cars, pinched her, tortured
her in Il thousand different ways. The
poor thing went on sleeping. She was
as motionless as if dead, while her
mistress was in despair.
AT the moment she was prov tc
such terrible anguish, fearing that she
had by her imprudencc involuntarily
caused tho death of her servant, the
teacher, NJ. Caller, came along under
her windows. She called to him, and
M. Caller, who had not forgotten the
instruction had given him. applied
the large end Of tho egg to tho fore.
head of the patient, and at the end o!
five or six minutes she was restored 10
consciousness. She looked like one
who had just left tho empire OF Pluto.
and who is quite aslonished to find
herself on earth. y

The lndanapolis Postmaster MAJ Lose
$3,5Oo..A Victim of the Law.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-When the In
dinnapolls National bank failed POST
master Thompson had n deposit in that
institution of about 50, 500 belonging to
his Office, and Mr.. Thompson rs now in
this city to ascertain whether there is
any process by which he, as federal
officeholdcr, may not be able to secure
relief. Mr. Thompson was by law de-
prived Of the option of selecting his Of
fetal bank of deposit, and was required
TO intrust his official funds to n bank
designated by the treasury department.
AT the postotfice department he was in
formed the department had no means
OF covering such misfortunes, nor could
the controller of the currency, when
the matter was laid before him, sug-
gest any remedial measures Mr..
Thompson was, tn herefore, advised by
officials of both departments that his
only course for relief was in an appeal
to congress.
A process, however, has been sug-
gested by which Mr.. Thompson may be
protected, although the idea carries
with it grave misupprehensions as toits
ultimate success. Every bank desig-
mated as a United States depository is
compelled by law to deposit with the
treasurer of the United States bonds to
secure all government deposits. The
indianapolis bank having 4 per cent
bonds on deposit to secure its federal
liabilities, the proceeds of the sale Of
the bonds will, in all probability, be
more than sufficient to cover the gov
ernment deposits. 1t has been sug-
gested that Postmaster Thompson's
$500 can be deducted from the pre-
MUM received by the treasury depart
ment when the bonds are sold Wheth-
er, however, claims of this character
are strictly valid under the circum-
stances appears to bea question as get
unsettled. 1t is argued that If the
officers of the indianapolis bank see fit
to contest the authority of the treasury
department in dcducting hir. Thomp-
sons funds the deduction will not DO

Discovery OF Species That Makes Wine
and Pottery,

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The Tien-Tsin
correspondent of the North China
Herald, received by the latest mail to
this city, tells of discovery that has
just been made by DIR. MacGowan, an
American who lives in Tien-Tsin. The
correspondent says: 'Dr. MacGowan
has just returned from the great wall
where he learned Of n race of Manchu-
rian monkeys inhabiting the mountain
region of the great wall who show
astonishing progress in the art of pot
terry and wine making. A recent edi-
ton of the official history OF Ydngping
states that lately a large body of immi-
grating monkeys passed a certain town
in crossing from one mountain to an
other. The boys of the viii
lage clapped their hands and
shouted ut the monkeys, which be-
coming frightened, clasped their young
in their arms, but dropping in their
flight number of earthen vessels, some
of which would hold q quart. The vii
layers found they contained two kinds
of wine, pink and green, that had
been made from mountain berries. The
monkeys store this liquor for use in
the winter when the water is all
frozen"
DR.. MacGowan adds that the chroni-
clcr cites an author who affirms that
in Se-Cheun there are monkeys who
manufacture wine, and he gives the
following auecdote in evidence: ga
party of villagers who desired to try
the quality Of the monkey wine placed
unobserved a great feast near the mon
keys caves and then hid themselves.
On discovering the food the monkeys
went TO their caves and brought out
their liquer, without which the feast
could not be enjoyed. Atthat moment
the villagers rushed out of their hiding
place and the monkeys forthwith scam.
