ing kindness
Therefore +, Grover Cleveland, President Of
the United States do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday, the Both day OF the present
month of November, as day OF IhanKsg 81, Il,
and praise, to be kept and observed by all Inc
people of our land. +
On that day let us fOrego our ordinary WORK
and empIoyments and assemble IN our usual
places of worship, where we may recall all tnaG
God has done for us, and where from grateful
hearts our united tribute of praise and song
may reach the throne of grace.
Let the reunion of kindred and the social
meeting of friends lend cheer and enjoyment TO
the day and let generous gifts of charity for the
relief Of the poor and needy prove the sincerity
of our thanksgiving
Witness my hand and the seal OF the United
States, which have caused to be hereto
affixed.

In speaking of one.of the duties of the
new tariff bill one of the members of the
Democratic committee of Ways and
Z Means is quoted as saying that the duty
as agreed upon will afford sufficient
incidental protection." Sufficient in
cidental protection" Here is complete
abandonment of the Democratic platform.
Here is an admission that it is proper in
laying a Tariff to ask whether it gives
sufficient protection. This wasn't the
programme that the national convention
laid down last summer. Then protection
was unconstitutional, it was robbery
and should be torn up at the first oppor-
tunity. Eff protoection.is unconstitutional
there is no room for discussion of how
much of it we ought to have If that is
its character we ought to have none of
it until the constitution is changed.

it would be reconciled to it.

The beer and whiskey manufacturers
seem to have had sufficient influence
with the Democrats on the Ways and
Means committee to avert the threat
ened increase of tax on those two bever-
ages. Probably they showed that the
tax would increase the price of drinks,
with disastrous effect upon the Demo-
cratic vote in the big cities.

A Woman Editor in Japan.

Mrs, w. II. Smith, editor of the Japan Gazette, conducts the political and commercial departments of daily paper with large circulation and much influence in the orient. Her first contributions were offered four years ago, during her residence in the in terior of Japan, where her husband was an English teacher in the govern ment service. Having made a hit in reporting a military review, she was invited to Yokohama and joined the Gazette staff, while her husband en- tered the business office. It is to be hoped she will not be interfered with by the absurd new law of Japan, which forbids editorial work to women on the alleged ground that it is neither becoming nor desirable" for a woman to conduct newspaper,

BOGUS HYPNOTISM.
Astounding Confessions of Frau.
 by Professional Subjeota
Some of the "Fakes" of Humbug Mes. msrfsts In Europe-How . Man Was Apparently Hypnotized
 by Telephone.

Hypnotism has been having 6 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, a very strong disposition tc 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- tion" of subjects, the mind transfer ence," and all the wondrous things made familiar to us of late years, and setting up seemingly strong case in favor of all that has been claimed for hypnotism.
 This induced MT. 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 humbugged the doctors throughout, and that by practice he
 
 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 to be thrust through his ears and cheeks, and thoroughly satis- fled Mir. Labouchere that he could sub init to all the wonderful things com- mon in hypnotic demonstrations.
 This seemed to hurt the mesmerist business, andapparently 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 | people and perform some of | the actual wonders of the remarkable | agency; but he did vast amount of 'faking." One time he declared to q committee of local doctors in a provin- cial town that he could as easily hyp- notize a man over the telephone as face to face.
 The professor went about a 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 iabbed pins and needles into his flesh, pinched him, pulled his tongue and poked his eyes. The man was in pos session of all his senses. A dozen times he wanted to yell but held out, know ng that the professor was driving to he hall as fast as horse could bring lim. Finally the subject was placed with his feet on one chair and his ,eck on another, and two fat doctors ,at on ms chest. His backbone was ( ust giving out when the professor 'ushed breathlessly into the hall and 'eleased him. This subject soon after : yard resigned. .....

THE TELAUTOGRAPH.
An Instrument for Long-Distance
 Business Transactions.
Prof. Elisha Gray's Wonderful Invention How Writing Is Sent from One Place to Another - Secrets
 of the Machine.

Prof, Elisha Gray, of Highland Park ILL, has devoted his life to the perfec ton of systems of communication by Electricity. His first work pertaine6 10 Improvements in the Morse tele graph, which, for many years, was the only means of transmitting intelli 2ence electrically. These improve, nents were followed by his printing telegraph, which transmitted Roman characters, and was especially adapted oPrivate line work. A number of these tray printers are still in use. His leXt invention was the musical tele- 'hoLe, which enabled the operator to pay upon an organ in Chicago to a New York audience. From the musical Sne the speaking telephone, of which TO- Gray was the inventor, and for s'aich history will give him credit. almost simultaneously with the speak 1g telephone, was his production of 4e harmonic telegraph, allowing 'ght messages to be sent over one 're at the same time. But his crown 'Ig effort is the most wonderful of all Sectrlcal inventions, the telauto- graph, or long distance writing ma chine.

The structure of these in- Uuments is remarkably simple and 's'od of complication, and the mode VI operation is in all respects direct lu positive.

 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 large extent true, and yet while the value of our manufactured products in 1890 was $s,61O, ,OOo, ,O0O the total value of our agri- cultural products in that year was only about s3,s0O, 100000 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 tified
 In a pamphlet recently published by c. 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

 thelr obJect being, so they announced, to "regenerate" this secular institu. ton, to endow it with more "lifen and

The organizers of this project have already ootalned the consent of the govern ment, and an executive committee of eight has been appointed, with Mime.

It is scarcely necessary to add that they are devoting much attention to the insignia. and while the apprentices and ordinary mistress masons are to wear aprons similar to those of their brethren, the dignitaries will don garments of vari ous colors, representing the sun. the temple the instruments of masonry and other emblems. The object of the scheme is asserted to be purely philan- ! thropic.
