BUT FEW IN 1T.

Mr.. GreenbIai. editor of the German Dem
otrot, IS quoted as saying: I'VE have a
paradise here liz California; with but few
people in it." Now, as paradise is place
which people would naturally crowd into
II possible, tile question arises as to the
cause which keeps people out Of Cali
fornia. it is not The distance nor the cost
of getting here. Steamship lines running
between New York and European ports are
full Of immigrants with 500 or $500 in their
pockets with which 10 defray the expenses
OF visit to their native country. Now, the
money which would take an immigrant to
Europe and back would transport him to
the paradise Of California. But somehow
they DO not come. Our increase Of popula-
ton is bun little abege what is termed the
natural increase But a small part of it
comes from immigration. Very likely the
State VIII grow more healthy by natural
increase than by a large European immi-
grafton. There are public schools within
the reach OF all California children. and
consequently a population OF natives would
be more intelligent than a population COM
posed largely Of foreigners except as the
latter came from the middle or higher
classes But a State which relies for popu-
lation on the natural increase is not likely

THE CRAMPS WIN.

The Philadslphia firm Of shipbuilders get
both the Brooklyn and the Iowa under
decision that California can find no fault
with. The Cramps put In the lowest bid,
and under the law were entitled to both
contracts. California appears to have lost
these vessels BY about the same percentage
she loses great deal of other work. The
East nnderbds us just en ough TO get the
work. 1t is so In the manufacture Of most
Of the things we use and wear. Our furni-
ture firms receive most Of heir goods from
the East; our boot and sine firms do some
manufacturing. but their most profitable
trade is with the East. Resdy-made CLOTH

there is an error in the calculation. We
work harder, minute by minute, than people
do in other countries, but tile hours Of labor
are not longer and holidays occur frequently
enough. We have Washingtop's birthday,

WHAT IS HYPNOTISM !?
An Attempt of Robert Hardin Jr. to
Define This Mysterious Force.

ST. Louis CiObs-Dem0crat
Hypnotisrn consists of TWO things: First,
the induction Of a psychical condition, in
which the subjects mind is made almost a
blank and 10 completely under the oper-
atOr's will; aud. second, the suggestions
which the subject receives. These sugges-
lions may be communicated to the subject
in different ways. the best of which are by
speech, as they are more concise and
quickly rendered than suggestions made by
motions and other methods.
The subjects susceptibility TO suggestion
while in the hypnotic state is enormously
increased, and his ability to act upon those
suggestions Is controlled entirely by the
operator.
1t is common but erroneous idea that
there are seven degrees" or stages" of
hypn0tlsnl, supposed to range from mild,
peaceful slumber TO a state where the SUBJ
ject is completely iDsensible. Charcot, the
eminent French theoTIst and expeTimenter
claims that there are as many as nine dis
tinct degrees, but if this is true. have been
unable 10 distinguish the difference between
them. During the past week my subject
was young lady. Is years old, and fairly
intelligent; Ia three days L subjected her TO
tile process of hypnosis seven different
times, and from the most careful expert
meBts, in conjunction with DR.. Charles
MARCEL, we found the first degree of hypno-
tism consisted simply OF q mild slumber
together with loss of sight. The loss OF
the sense Of taste soon followed, and quickly
after that the sense OF smell departed; then
the sense of touch, and last of all the sense
OF hearing.
The third stage OF hYpnotisn, according
to Binet and Fera, is that Of catalepsy, In
which the subject becomes perfectly rigid,
and remains in thatcoudition for any length
of time. 1 have found that the subject has
a tendency TO assume the condition Of cata-
lepsy, ana that 1t can be Induced bet ween
any OF the stages before mentioned, viz
that the subject becomes. according to my
will, lethargic or rigid between the loss of
any two senses.
have stated that the optic nerve is the
first TO lose its power under hypnosis, but
curious effect was noticeable before the SUBJ
ject lost all control of sight. While the
eyes were still half open bright red hand
kerchief was held before them in the line
OF vision, and at distance of about four
teen inches. When asked its color the SUBJ
jeet pronounced it blue, the contrasting
color Of red. Again blue 'kerehef was
declared TO be orange, and yellow one
blue, aud so on, each color being called by
Its complementary color. During this trial IL
was thought that perhaps the subject was
color blind, but this was found 10 be neor-
rect. as the subject defined all Of the colors
accurately while in full possession OF the
senses.

cANADA's ONLY CHANCE.

Gov arnor-Gereral Stanley of Canada cher
ishes lie notion that a commercial union
betwe IN Can9Ga and the Uaited States is q
possible solution Of questions now pending
between the two Governments. In Presi-
dent Harrison 5 last message there was
paragF tph that Governor Stanley might read

upon like articles admitted from England.
While the force nf the reasoning which JUS
titled the Canaditn position was readily ad-
mitted. both the President aud Secretary
Blaine declined 10 consider overiures on
that basis. The degree Of commercial
union which only ADMITS an exchange of
the natural products Of Canada and the

speaking. Canada is lower-priced country

proposition would assume another aspect.
Canada would then afford a market for
American products that would be some
compensation for the market the United
States car aferd to Canadian products
But such a concession cannot be considered
by Canada while she remains an English
dependency. England permits Canada to
collect duties from English goods. but with
the unders anding that the goods from

THE MACKEREL MYSTERY.
No One Seems to Know Where They
Go i'm the Winter Season.

GO in the Winter Season.
New York Tribune
Where mackerel 90 for the winter is one
of the fish mysteries. When the first snow
flies in the Bay Of Fundy mackerel disap-
pear. They are abundant in the Gulf OF ST.
Lawrence ana off Newfoundland until that
time, plump and juicy and very tooth some,
tho result of having fed well on their migra-
tIon northward. The next seen OF them is
in March. off Cape Hatteras. All their
plumpness is then gone and they look AS il
they had eaten nothing all winter. There
is scaly growth over their eyes which
nearly blinds them. Nobody whose palate
has been taught what good mackerel are
cares to eat such hsh. Many old fishermen
think tile flesh tastes of mud in the spring.
One theory in regard 10 this is that the
mackeTel 90 into the mud In winter and re-
main there, and that this has the effect Of
producing cataract growth or scale for
the protection OF the eye. and of impartiEg
an earthly taste to the flesh. Mackerel have
been speared in the Bay OF FuGdy by men
who cut through the ice to look for fish,
Occasionally a mackere has been found in
mud, but cases of this kind are SO rare that
they fail to establish any rule in regard to
the habits of the fish. The only certainty
is that maekeFel disappear from all waters
visited by fishing vessels from late in the
lals until early In the spring The fish nat
uralY loves the shore and is 10 be found
close to land in the regular season. Since
fishing vessels cover this ground all the
year round, IL is safe to suppose that If
mackerel were there they would oe caught
a. times out of season. Ii the fish go into
deep water for tbs winter and move sea-
ward. they put aside entirely the habits
that have been observed IN regard 10 them,
and in the winter tins acquire traits to
which they seem to be innaley adverse IN
the warm weather months.
Mackerel Go not Ike Geld water, and it is
not believed that they remain in the north
ern hays through the winter. There is GER
tainly no explanation, il it be assumed that
they make their winter home off Newiound-
land, for their appearance in a latitude
much farther south in the spring. Cana
dian fishermen have several times tried TO
make trouble over maekeral catches, claim
ing that mackerel remain in northern waters
as their natural habitat. and that tie mack
eTel coming up from Hatteras are not at all
the same fish found in the Bay Of Fundy.
This theory has not been accepted. how
ever. by American fishermen, and the claims
of the Canadians do not seem plausible
enough 10 have justified any action by the
authorities Of the DDmniOn

MINING DEBRIS.

I. is safe proposition that sooner or
later & z bulk # the earth l0Dsened by work
in The hydraulic mines viii reach the valleys
ana their waterways. Restraining dams
may be constructed to bold for tine TIE
heavier part Of the floating earth. but it is
not supposed that the finer gravel or the
earth matter which diss0lFes under the
action OF water viii be held. There is not
room 10 hold il in. One might as well pro-
rose to put a man IN the pocket OF his panta-
looms there are ii hundred feet of earth
matter far every loot Of space to put il H.
The co0bles Ia the earth which can only be
moved when there is a large volume OF
water and considerable fall may be locked
up in mountain sorges but this part Of
earth matter IS small compared with the
whole.
the Caminetti bill IS based on the as
sumption that the heavier portion OF the
debris may be held IN reservoirs formed by
dams. and that tie lighter part would float
down with the current. Where viii it float
to? Earth to The depth Of SEQ or 400 feet

must 20 somewhere. Matter is indestTuct-
IbIe. Il may change its form, but will
always show itself somewhere. The bill
under consideration proposes to strsighten
cut the river beds, thereby increasing the
fall and giving the current a greater force.
But 10 provision IS made for handling the
part Of the debris which is popularity known
as ''sIckens" when il reaches the bays,
where there is no current but that caused
by the ebb and flow Of the tide. 4 very
small proportion Of the earth which will be
set ia motion by the hydraulic monitors
would Gil all the bays between tldewater
and the Golden Gate. Il fact. the space
now occupied by high tide is Insignificant
when compared with the ranges Of hills
which are to some extent gold bearing.
Tie hydraulic mining problem is the most
serious California now has 10 consider.
Silver may rise or fall, transportation
charges be reasonable OF unreasonable,
tariff duties may be increased or diminished,
but DO evil consequences that can arise
from such changes Of policy are to be COM
parei with those which must attend the
shoaling Of the bays. A river cannot be
kept open after its outlet in closed up.
The engineering process which the Can't
netti bill proposes to apply to the rivers
might serve if their outlet was the Pacific
Ocean. But the comparatively little water
space In the shallow bays would soon be
occupied with something heavier than
water.

DANGERS OF oFFIcE-HoLDINd.
The Government Clerks Existence Is
Monotonous and Fatal to Energy.


To all young men who contemplate
journey to Washington for The purpose Of
securing employment the best advice Is,
don't. The humblest situation in a mer-
camille house. where the pecuniary reward
is small where The hours are long and
where The labor Is hard, is better In the end
than Government clerkship. One way lie
opportunities for Advancement, fer the
utilization and final reward Of every talent
and all the energy that the young man
POSSESSES. The other way lie hupelessneSs,
drudgery, stagnatiGn. Many a poor young
man seeks Government cIerkship IN
order that he may earn mis- support
while he is studying his profession. He is
playing with fire. He is taking up as a staff
that which is likely to become necessary TO
him as cruteh. He is in danger OF dis
covering, when bis profession is learned
that he has not the moral courage 30 drop
his government stipend. II would have
been infinitely better--it might have been
his making-if he had toied for scantier
dollars in manlier way. The Government
clerk drags out monotonous existence
dreary, unpromsing of advancement, and

Finger on through his few remaining years

Of his kind. There is no service that so de-
strnyS the latent energies and kills the hope
as that of a Government clerk. Young men

comes from Australia and at present is sub
ject to heavy duty. Tho proposed removal
of this duty will certainly cheaper wool,
though rot probably to the full amount OF
the duties. The foreign grower will get a
better price and the home product will most
likely fall of. Wool-gTowers will be dis

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Loud complaints come from New York of
the reIu- al of the managers Of the Chicago
Worlds Fair to allot sufficient space TO ex-
hibitors. These parties intended 10 place
in the fair copious and ornamental exhibits.
Failing to get room allotted to them they
have now determined not to exhibit.
No one expects that the managers OF the
fair will please every one. Exhibitors will
naturally demand more space than can he
allotted to them in fairness to others. But
it is to be hoped that the gentlemen who
have this national enterprise in hand viii
try to minimize the criticism which perhaps
they cannot altogether avoid. They have
taken rather large contract. Chicago is a
fine city. with brilliant prospects in the
future, but it is hardly as yet the peer of
such metropolitan cities as New York,
London. Paris and Vienna. To surpass
these cities in line of endeavor which sup
poses remarkable ability and a large
amount of accumula ted capital was a
daring undertaking. 1t is to be hoped that
the unavoidable obstacles which the Chi
cagoans have to overcome will not be ag
grsvated by mistakes in the management.
