WILD HORSES IN NEBRASKA.
a Stirring Sight and IT'S Eject on Tame

THE most magnificent display of

prairie. near the forks of Platte river"
said an old western pioneer, now living
at North Platte, Neb. ''The horses
were all wild" cor tinued Mr.. Melon
aid. 'and it was one of the grandest
sights ever witnessed Troops of wild
horses will never more be visible to any
appreciate extent on the western
prairies, and there are only few of us
living now who can remember the days
when these wild horses rOved over the
prairies. The spectacle l witnessed at
the forks of the North Platt river made
nv nerves tingle. There were about
two hundred animals in the drove. The
sun had just come up over the plains
when l suddenly came out in
front of them from little grove,
where | had camped during the
night I was on the back of
my own mustang. He lifted his
head high into the air, paved the earth
with his fore feet and then began to
snort in most aristocratic manner. 1t

that thrilling feeling through nv body

of welcome or joy from my mount, and
looking my way the troop formed a cir

and took up position in front OF his
followers He was the finest specimen
of horse J ever saw. His tail swept
the ground and his name hung to his
shoulders. His body was brilliant in
its glossiuess. He looked as if he had
received the most iattering attention
from an experienced groom Some OF
the animals appeared neglected, but the
majority of them were sleek looking.
My own animal became so excited
at the sight that | made haste 20 tie

The brutality of the contractors to-
ward their subjects battles description,
writes DR. S Merlino in the April Forum.
The contractor is a strongly built,
powerful man; he has acquired the
habit of command, is well armed. pro-
tected by the authorities, supported by
such of his employees as he chooses to
favor, and, sad to say. by the people,
who are hostile to the laborers. He
often keeps guards armed with Win
chester rifles to prevent his men from
running away. His power has the es-
sential characteristics of a government

ishes them for attempted resistance to
his self-constituted authority. On Sun

A BOYS RASH ACT.
He Undertakes . DiNcult Feat UTaided
and Alone.

He Undertakes . Difficult Feat ULAided
and Alone.
On the usually frank and noble face
of the boy there was furtive, sinister
expression. He replied in mongolia
bles to the remarks that were addressed
TO him, ate his breakfast with little or
no appetite, and kept his eyes fixed
doggedly on his plate as if fearful OF
encouraging the gaze of the other mem
bers of the family. Yet through this
real or assumed timidity close OBJ
server might have discerned fixed pur-
pose, an iniexible determination.
What was the unrighteous resolve
that possessed the soul of this we'll
raised, carefully trained, but evidently
demoralized boy?
We shall see.
No sooner had he left the table than
he went upstairs to his own room, then
removed his shoes, slipped softly across
the corridor to his fathers apartment,
opened drawer in the bureau, took
something from it, and slipped it in his
pocket.
Then carefully retracing his way TO
his own room ragain he put on his
shoes, went down the back stairs on
tiptoe, and few minutes later climbed
the ladder leading to the hay-loft in
the barn.
Pausing at the top of the ladder to
look about him and being apparently
satisfied that he had not been watched
or followed, he climbed stcalthily
across the hay until he reached re-
mote corner whose dim recesses were
family Illuminated by the light from a
window at the opposite end of the loft
Pale with agitation, but with no fall
tering in the resolution written in his
fiery eye and compressed lips, he took
from his pocket a small glass object,
fastened it against the wooden wall by
means of pins stuck in above and be-
low, and listened once more.
All was still.
Then, without culver of remorse
for the desperate deed The had resolved
to commit, this sixteen-year-old boy
took from another pocket his fathers
razor, stood in front of the small glass
object he rhad fastened against the
wall, and perpetrated his first shave

BOGUS HYPNOTISM.
Astounding Confessions OF Fraud
by Professional Subjects
Some of the Fakes" Of HumbuC Mes
merfsts in Europe-How q Man
Was Apparently Hypnotized
by Telephone.

Hypnotism has been having 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 "desensitiza-
ton" of subjects, the mind transfer
ence," and all the wondrons things
! made familiar to us of late years, and
setting up seemingly strong case in
favor of all that has been claimed for
hypnotisn.
This induced Mr.. Labouchere Of
Truth to tell of an interview he had
with one of the hypnotic subjects most
before the public a short time ago.
This subject gave undoubted evidence
that he hunbugged the doctors
throughout, and that by practice he
and other well-knowu subjects, whom
| he named had cultivated the ability to
eat candles and soap, and to drink
castor oil and pepper sauce when ''un-
der the influence" smacking their lips
as if eating cake and drinking wine,
as suggested" to them. He permit
ted needles 70 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 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
agency; but he did a vast amount OF
taking" One time he declared to a
committee of local doctors in provin-
cial town that he could as easily hyp-
notize man over the telephone as
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
pol1ed 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
ward resigned.

FARMING NO LONGER LEADS.
Manufactured Products Amount to Much
More in Value Than the Crops.

Manufactured Products Amount to Much
More in Value Than the Crops.
Agriculture is supposed to be the
foundation of our progress and pros
perity, writes R. II. Edmonds in an ar
ticle in the Engineering Magazine on
modern progress. This is to a large
extent true, and yet while the value of
our manufactured products in 1890 was
S., 61O, 900, 900 the total value of our agri-
cultural products in that year was only
about So, 500, 0oO 900. The opening up
of new land by the heavy immigration
into the west brought into cultivation
ten or more years ago larger area
than the consuming power of this coun-
try and the foreign demand added JUS
titled.
In pamphlet recently published by
G. Wood Davis it is shown that the area
cultivated in staple food crops increased
from 1875 to 1880 on an average OF 6.S
per cent. year, and since then has
steadily declined, having been 80 per
cent. from 1880 to 1885, and then IA per
cent. from 1885 to 1890. In other words
the total cultivated area is now in
population.
OF course in view Of this the agricul-
tural productions of the country do not
show any such phenomenal advance az
has marked the growth of industrial
interests. The total value of all ag-
ricultural products in 1880 was esti-
mated at $500, 900, 900. James Il.
Dodge, the statistician Of the agricul-
tural department, estimated the value
in 1890 at SIS, 500, 900. 0O0-a gain of $780,
OOO, Notwithstanding heavy aver
age decline in price and very short
crops owing to bad weather. In 1891
large crops brought the total value up
to 81, 500, 900, 900. The number and
value of farm animals increased very
heavily during the decade, the total
value having been S1,576, o0o,o 900 in 1880
and S2,4ls. 100000 in 1904 gain OF
$40. 900 00O

CHINESE STOkERS.
Che CeIestials as Firemen on British
Trading Vessels.


John Chinaman makes a capital fire.
man. He performs his duties with ma
chine-like precision, and is obedient to
a degree that is serviie. 1t is doubtless
this quality of abject submission to the
commands of his Supporters that makes
him such favorite with marine cngi-
neers Though less turbulent, howev-
er. he is less resourceful and plucky
than his British confrere, and men who
know how to rule would rather have
English fremen than specially Sc
lected complement OF Ceiestials. The
Chinese give a minimum of trou-
bic. The head man is first selected,
and he brings along with him his
own staff, SO that the European engi-
neers have that worry taken off their
hands. But the Chinaman has prac-
tically no individuality. They repre-
sent in the aggregate the stocking sta IF
of the ship. Apart from that they are
not considered.
A British vessel trading for fifteen
months IL Chinese waters had a full
complement of Chinese firemen. At
the commencement of the voyage the
names were entered on the ships books.
At the end of the voyage the roll was
called and each name was responded to.
Yet desertions and changes among the
frernen had been frequent during the
voyage. The mystery was not ex-
planned until it became known that
each newcomer gave up his own name
and took that of his predecessor among
the stokers of the vessel. He answered
at musters to that name, and thus the
nominal coherency of the crew was
maintained.-Cha Journal.
