A NICE piece of nepotism has cropped
out IN the board of education. Director

"6red," and Plat junior inducted into

place with salary of $50 a month, was
also removed and Platt junior given his

tai income from the school board of $11o

THR HERcULEAN TASK BEFORE HIM.

We are drawing very close to the time
when the national government will pass
into the hands of the Democratic psrty.
Next Saturday Prssident-elect Cleveland
will be insugurated in the presence of
the greatest Assem- blags that ever gath.
cred in the front of tho national capitol.
The inaugural procession promises to
be a pageant Of imposing dimensions,
and every state in the union will be
largely reprssntsd in it's line. The pso-
pie OF the United States look forward to
an administration that will be marked
in the annals of the country as one of
the best we have ever had. Mr.. Oleve-
lands political ambition has been fully
grstifisd, and he is in position to devote
all his energies and great abilities to
place the affairs OF the country in con-
dition that will prove eminently benefi-
cisl to all interests and to all sections.
He has many difficult and knotty prob.
lems to solve, and although he will
probably fail in righting many wrongs
and in relieving many grievances, every
body believes that ne will do his utmost
to bring the country back to sound
and Wholesome condition. He takes
the reina of power at time when
the outgoing party has left the
finances of the government in a
state of chsos-when its policy has
resulted in crippling its resources and
enormously increasing ita expenditures.
If he shall succeed in restoring the
finances OF the nation to a sound and
pristine health he will have accom-
plished r task that would hsve made any
administration memorable. Four years
ago he left hia SUCCESSOR treasury bur-
dened with surplus of 800 900, 900. He
returns to power to find the secretary Of
the treasury struggling to pass the Office
over to Mr.. CRrlisls in condition which
he dare not aver is solvent, OF course
the party which has brought about this
deplorable condition will assail Mr.
Cleveland with the utmost virulence and
aeperity If ne do not at oncs cure all the
shameful eyils which four years OF fagi-
tious misgovsrnment have entailed upon
hia administration. II he succeeds in
curing one-half OF them he will be en-
titled to the thanks of the country.

TO INDUCE SLEEP.

Hypnotisn

Hypnotism.
One of the technical words used in
scientific descriptions of the phenom-
enon of hypnotism is TRANSMISSION
This relates to the position of the eyes
just before hypnotic sleep comes on,
and it is believed, though not yet fully
explained, that in adjusting the eyes
to this position some nerve center of
the brain is affected, producing an
effect like switching off electricity
from keyboard. and Inconsistencies
follows almost instantly.
1t is a common observation among
nurses that babies get crosseyed Just
before they fall asleep" Almost in
variably the eyes are directed inward
and generally downward, though some
times nj ward. True hypnotic sleep, if
undisturbed by suggestion, soon turns
into what we call natural sleep, as
is shown by the sleeper awakening re-
freshed as from natural sleep.
A writer who was formerly afflicted
with chronic insomnia effected a per-
manent cure by what he terms the
hypnotic method, and gives his recipe
with illustrations for the benefit of the
many sufferers from the tortnres of
prolonged walxefulness. Its worth may
be easily tested by one with strong
will power. That many eminent men
/ Napoleon, Horace Greeley, William
H. Seward. for example, possessed the
secret of going to sleep at will is well

The word was given at II o'clock by
