The towns with 5000 inhabitants usually

able impetus was given TO the formation of
brass bands in the United States by the war
of the rebellion. In order to recruit the
bands in the army it was necessary to call
upon the various regiments for volunteers
to act as musicians. In this manner thou
sands of men with good ears for music be-
came passable players. After the war was
over these men scattered to their various
homes all over the country and took with
them the liking for brass music which they
had gained upon the field.

Facts About Hypnotism,
Especial Correspondence.l


NEW YORK, JAM 16-According to all the
modern authorities, hypnotism is the sci
ence of the sleeplike state which is pro-
duced by some special influence upon the
nervous system. This state may be in
duced in not only human beings, but in a
vast number of animals, high and low.
Professor Czermak has hypnotizod pigeons
DR.. Beard chickens and ducks, Professor
auckland cats and DR.. Bayliss Holsters, so
that they lost not only the power of loco
motion, but of all the voluntary muscles.
Besides these similar experiments have been
successfully performed upon monkeys
dogs, horses, cows, sheep, serpents and al
ligators. Professor Bernheim of the School
of Nancy, France asserts that any and all
animals possessing moderately developed
nervous system can be hypnotized, and that
the only difficulty Is to ascertain the condi-
tions under which particular nervous sys-
TEN is to be influenced in a special manner
An interesting fact to be drawn from
these experiments upon the lower animals
is that they strongly confirm the popular
beliefs that Serpents charm birds, weasels
mesmerize rats, the larger carnivora fasci-
nate many OF their prey, and that the
dreaded rattlesnahe exercises a similar in
fluence upon many women and children if
not upon men.

beings any number of methods are en-
ployed. Every subject seems a law unto
himself in this regard, no two cases ever
being exactly alike. All methods agree
upon one point-viz, having the subject
rivet his attention upon some particular
object and relinquish all thought as far as
can be done.
In general it may be stated that the pa
tient either sits, kneels, reclines or lies
down. His eyes are fixed upon an object.
preferably bright, just above abe normal
plane of vision. His mind is directed ex
clusively to the wish to fall asleep.
Beyond these three conditions it is found
that the hypnotizing process is hindered or
favored by external circumstances. Twi-
light or low burning lamps, the presence of
flowers, fruits and perfumes, silence or else
soft or distant music, comfortable furni-
ture and upholstery and agreeable COM
pany are very favorable,
AS to who can be treated in this manner
the answer is, Almost everybody. The east
est are hystcriacs, the hardest are men
with well trained inteHects, or else, strange
to say, idiots. Children and youths are
much easier than adults; women a trife
easier than men. Blends are more difficult
than brunettes; people from cold than those
from warm climates. There is no difference
between strong and weak people unless the
weakness comes from hysteria or hysterical
proclivities. w. +. S. FALEs.

This is not so, or at least it should not

Most of our sorrows and troubles come
from i'll health. Make yourself strong and

outnumber its troubles.
People who are out of health, who, while
not exactly sick, are always ailing, allow

other words to despair of ever again being
in perfect, sound and vigorous health.
They think that because they have not been

A PICTURESQUE FIGURE.
How Galusha A. Grow Achieved Success
From q Small Beginning.
oil


HARRISBURG, Jan. 16.-The nomination
of Hon. Galusha A. Grow to the Office of
congressman at large from the state of
Pennsylvania brings again before the pub
lie eye one of the most picturesque figures
in the history of American politics. The
story of his public life, which has been re-
told so many times in the newspapers dur
ing the past few days, is full of interest, but
not more so, l fancy, than that of his early
years-the years during which he was form
ing the character that enabled him to max e
his mark in after life.
He was born in Ashford, Conn, in 1924.
When he was but child, his father died,
leaving Mrs. Grow with a large family of
boys and girls on her hands. For a time
they were obliged to separate, Galusha, the
youngest of four brothers, going to live
with his maternal grandfather When the
boy was about 10 years of age, his mother
was enabled to buy farm in SusQuehan-

The depleted condition of the treasury
would prevent any considerable appropria-
ton for the enlargement of our navy at
the present session of congress, even if a
majority of the democrats were in favor of
such appropriation. which is doubtful.
Representative Holman is one of the dem
ocrats who believes that our navy is al
ready dangerously large aud that it should
not be added to, unless the traditional
policy of our government, to avoid en-
tangling alliances, is to be shelved and an
aggressive foreign policy substituted
therefor. We need" says Mr. Holman,
al navy sufficiently strong to protect our
interests at home and abroad, but we have
already gone beyond that point and ought
to stop. do not favor n large army in
time of peace. but an army cannot, under
any circumstances. get US into trouble.
The army cannot marguerite foreign
policy. The navy can, as witness the
Valparaiso incident. The foreign relations
of our country are more or less in the
hands of the commander of any American
vessel, and We must sustain him, as a rule,
in whatever course he takes. For that
reason. it is not advisable to have too
much of navy. The smaller the navy,
the better, provided it is sufficient for our
purposes.

THE supreme court of Virginia has de-
cided a question of much Importance to
railroad companies and freighters. 1t es-
tablishes the right of railroads and car
service associations to have and collect a
fixed charge for every day that cars remain
unloaded after the third day from notice
given the consignee of their arrival. The
opinion. rendered by Judge Fauntleroy,
says that railroads, for their own protec-
ton, as we'll as for the protection and
benefit of the public, have a car service
set of rules designed and enforced to Sc
cure the prompt movement of freight cars.
Before this system was adopted there were
serious inconvenience and delays to both
railroads and shippers, which it has to q
great extent overcome. Companies have a
right to make and enforce such rules.

instance, the law forbade that bachelor

hardly used, for they wore not permitted to
