1--WE ask Of the next legislature the
passage Of an ineligible. practical dog

The Sicilian Trouble.

Sicily, the largest island in the Medi-
terranean, has Il population about two
thirds that Of tine state of Ohio. Thou
sands of Sicilians have migrated to the
United States in the past few wears.
Many OF the American people will doubt
less now recall for the first time since
they studied geography that Palermo is
the capital Of Sicily and that the people
OF the island are chiefly farmers. They
do not live AS other farmers do. however.
but i'll villages, walking and riding out
TO their work daily. The octroi, which
is alleged 10 be the cause of the trouble,
is a tax levied OF food products brought
from the farms INTO the villages. The
WORD ''octroi' is French and meant orig
inally a tax levied at the gates of a city
on produce brought within its walls.
The walls of Sicilian cities have long
since disappeared, but the octroi remains.
The Sicilian peasant farmers are ig-
norant, likewise violent tempered and
very much in earnest. When a new
tax was imposed upon them, they rose
in riot and destroyed SO, 400, 900 worth Of
property, consisting of buildings and
their contents in the towns and villages.
Besides that a number of men were
killed and many wounded. Then the
Italian government proclaimed Sicily in
a state of siege and poured soldiers into
it by the thousand. The ,ailitary forces
comprised in what is called the army
class of 1859, consisting of $4,000 men,
has been ordered to the island entire.
While the imposition of the tax is
the ostensible cause of the rebellion of
the Sicilians, the real cause appears to
be the secret activity of the anarchists
now so busy in Europe. The Italian au-
thorities seem DESTROYS Of spreading the
belief that secret French emissaries, plot
ting to overthrow Italy, are at the bot
tom of the disturbances, but there ap-
pears to be little ground for this belief.
France has her hands full of anarchists,
and factions at home at present. When
the octroi riots are traced to their source,
the track will probably lead straight to
the anarchistic Easel del Lavoratori. The
founder Of this society, Giuseppe de Fe-
lice, who was arrested, is a member of
the Italian chamber Of deputies.

How Old Is Man?

The real time that has elapsed sine
the human race began is. according t
the latest conclusions of science, abou
$4,000 years. The first trace Of man i
found in western Europe in the drift
period. The drift preceded the glacia
period and gets its name from a series O
gravel beds found in the valleys Of tire,
rivers-namely, the Somme in France
the Manzanares in Spain and the Thame.
In England. Thus on the very site per
haps of London, the greatest city of the
world, primitive man first found him
self. Wherever traces of the use of fire
and of implements made by human hand
are found together, there it is safe to say
man existed. In the localities named
ashes, embers, cracked bones and Clipped
stones have been found in caves.
A curious fact is that the traces of
man in the places mentioned are in close
proximity to the bones of animals that
can exist only in warm climates, such as
elephants, lions and large apes. This
shows that the regions named enjoyed at
the time Of primitive man a tropical
climate. Then the tremendous glacial
period descended on the northern hemi-
sphere, and the tropical animals were
frozen out. Man, however, by reason of
his superiority, took refuge in caves and
holes in the ground and managed to ex-
ist somehow till it was over-a period of
10000 years. Then as it became warm
or he developed and throve tand in the
course of 8 $1,000 more years grew into the
exalted being we know now.
But how did he start in the first place?
DR.. D. G. Brinton, writing in The Fo-
rum, inclines to the belief that man is a
SO called sport" from some of the larger
apes in the tropical region of Europe be-
fore the glacial period. The remains of
tailless apes having 80 teeth are found in
the drift in western Europe. SIN south

ern Africa we may confidently say man

IN animals it is the experience that

Individual very unlike its ancestors.
This individual propagates other indi-
Viduals not like its ancestors, but like
tself, and thus POUNDS a race. DR.. Brin-
'on suggests that in such a sport" from

The duty of first Importance this win
ter, after supplying ones own need for
food and shelter, is to help provide it for
others not SO fortunate. This is at pres
ent done in various ways, and it will be
a pleasing recollection in years to come
that the American people met the great
panic nobly and generously. In many
places the members of a particular trade
or calling agree to give one days wages
each to the needy. At one time it will
be all the policemen of a city; at anoth-
er, all the carpenters or clerks or ma
sons. Teachers meet the call in a SINH
lar way. Farmers can help more almost
than any of the others by donating some
of the grain and food products which are
so low in price this winter. If all who
are not in need will help, then all who
are in need will be helped.

Who Would You Like TO Be?

Few of us are perfect beauties. Still

very wise, or eloquent or gifted-at least,
most of us are not. Some people may
modestly claim that while they are not
beautiful they are good, but the writer

HypnOtism In Medicine.

Can hypnotism ever take the place of
opium, choral and ether in subduing
pain and controlling violent mental
manifestations? DR.. j. R. Cooke, who
writes in The Arena, declares that it
can. He says he has used this agency
with success both in private and in hos
pital practice.
He does not tell us how he hypnotized
his subject, except that in one case he
called the patient, a mar delirious from
typhoid fever, sharply by name, held his
right hand firmly and babe him look at
a coin held in the doctors left hand.
Then the doctor told him to repeat the
words "~thirty-six." Then he was told
he could not stop saying ''thirty-six."
After repeating 'thirty-six" for two
minutes the doctor peremptorily COM
manded him to sleep, which he presently
did. The same patient was hypnotized
eight times to control delirium. Each
treatment held him calm and in sleep
four hours, and he finally recovered.
In another instance DR.. Cooke cured a
Use of delirium tremens in a man who
had been a hard drinker since the age of
10, and not only that, but he cured him
OF drunkenness altogether. Tried with
ID insane patients, the doctors hypnotic
power brought about the cure of seven.
He is certain that this agency could be of
wide usefulness in painful surgical cases,
and he wishes the medical profession
generally would cultivate it more.
