As TO Hypnotism.

No less parsonage than DIR. Parkhurst
has taken the trouble TO point out anew
that nobody ever heard of anybody's being
hypnotiZed TO make him do something
good. Hypnotism, the doctor thinks from
the evidence. is always exerted TO promote
evil, and for that reason he is inclined &c
condemn. il.
The fact commented on by the doctor
has often been spoken of, but it really con-
suitutes no fault of hypnotism. 1t "a sim
ply the fault of human nature. Man gray
itatos toward the bad. When hypnotism
is eXerted in the same direction with this
natural gravitarion, it is effective. When
1t is exerted in the opposite direction, IL IA
simply trying to pull the load up hill, and
1t fails. There are no doubt plenty Of
persons, especially ladies' who go about
weaving subtle hypnotic charms around
men for the noble purpose of leading them
Alright, just as the bad people whom we
hear of through the police reports go about
hypnotizing for ILL., But the good hypno-
fists work ar tremendous disadvantage
1t is up grade for them and down grade
for the bad hypnotists. AS between a
Svengalic friend trying to hypnotic man
to stay out and play poker and wife try
ing to hypnotiZe him to come home the
odds are with the friend.
Perhaps hypnotism will develop to a
point where ii can overcome this natural
disadvantage, or perhaps mankind will get
over the brow of the hill SO that the way
to good will be down grade.-Chica2o

SCORE ONE FOB SCIENCE.
The Anfitoxine Cure For Diphtheria Zee
Proved . Vast Success.

| Advocates of the antitoxine cure for
diphtheria ara feeling jubilant at present.
( From a recent report from Germany cap
| ital it appears that after years use in
| Berlin the remedy has proved to be pro-
nounced success. The facts as stated APP
| pear TO medical practitioners TO be truly
! wonderful. and in face of them there will
| be few TO declare that there is no efficacy
or virtue in the remedy. The report al
luded to has been prepared By Professor
| Heubncr of Berlin, one of the most emf
nent and conservative surgeons in Ger
many. His name attached frees il of all
/ suspicion of exaggeration or coloring.
Professor Eeubner's report covers one
years work in Berlin. 1t shows that prior
to the introduction Of antitoxine the pro-
portion of deaths from diphtheria in 1889
! cases was 80 per cent. During the first
year it was in use in /, 800 cases the NOR
tally was reduced TO 81 per cent
This reduction in the death rate was not
due to any milder type of the disease pre-
| vailing than previously, because for two
| months of the year. the supply of serum
becoming exhausted. the proportion OF
deaths Immediately shot up to 80 per cent
| of the cases under treatment. These fig
ures We're for the city of Berlin as a whole.
LII tile IlDspittl tit
erage mortality in diphtheria cases for four
years preceding the use of antitOxine was
Al per cent. The year following its intro
duction there were 525 diphtheria cases in
the institution. and only 1881 Per cent of
the patients died.
In Austria similar results followed the
use of the remedy. A decrease in the num-
Der of deaths of fully 80 per cent was re-
ported from the hospitals of Vienna. Pro
fessor Widerhofer of that city personally
inOculated $50 young persons exposed to
the contagion, and not one took the dis
ease. From Munich the report comes that
the mortality from diphtheria has de-
creased since the introduction OF antitoxine
by more than one-haif, and in Halle out
Of a total number of ia cases only nine
died. These figures were submitted TO the
recent medical congress at Munich. They
may be taken as perfectly reliable, and
they all tend to show the efficacy of the
remedy.-Chicapo Post

MIR. CLEVELAND's FUTURE.
He May Settle In New York and Devote
Himself to Municipal Problems.

It is only in New York that much atten-
ton has been paid to the reports that Mr..
Cleveland is willing to consider the posi-
bility of third term for himself. Yet
New York should be the very last place IN
which such minors could find credence be-
cause it Is TO public men in the metropolis
that the president has expressed himself
most emphatically on the subject Many
New Workers of national reputation have
received verbal and written Intlmatlons OF
Mr.. Cleveland's positive intention TO retire
to private life when his term OF Office ends
William c. Whitney i probably the best
Informed man in this respect, for he has
letters from Mr. Cleveland in which that
gentleman categoricaily denies any lnten-
ton 70 he a candidate again. Indeed 1t Is
no secret in the metropolis that there are
letters in existence, addressed 10 more
than one person. setting forth this well
considered determination u retire per

tice of law with them in a year OF two.

thereby leaving Tecumseh, which used to
laugh at and pity Shawnee, out in the
cold. The road secured 800 acres of land
near the old town, and the old town was
doomed. A new era had set in. Shawnee
had turned over new leaf. All who
would consent to move over We're given
lots, and in a week old Shawnee was no
more, and new Shawnee began to boom.
The railway surveyors came through, and
then the graders, and passing by the town
now is a huge embankment Of the red
earth of the country This was Shawnee S
infancy. 1t is now three months old and
a fine child for its age.
Shawnee is typical new town, such as
are born of booms and unusual happen
ings. Wide streets have been cleared by
axes and scrapers. All over their surface
crop up the roots of trees, which trip horses
and pedestrians Down the street on both
sides are brand new buildings, many I'M
painted and some, more ambitious, cover
ed with printing coat of paint, plenty
for the prevailing weather. On every hand
is the sound of hammers and saws; every
one Is putting up building in town and
sleeping in a tent or a covered wagon on
the outskirts. There are four hotels and
another with a mansard roof going up.
A dozen saloons seem necessary to the
town, some of them very ambitious and
one of them very humorous. The humor-
Gus one has a sign in all the primary colors
depicting the antics of two clowns in the
letters spelling the word "Saloon." The
most ambitious house in town is a saloon
with polished hard wood fixtures and mir
rors and red curtains on the up stairs win
dovs.
There are two banks, two newspapers,
one variety theater, - business houses and
two bakeries. Two years ago, when the
town numbered less than 800 people there
were two bakeries. One of them was in a
tent and was conducted by widow, the
other in little wooden shack. They are
now in new Shawnee, housed in good
wooden buildings. The widows bakery is
in a neat cottage with an annex. These
bakeries have hated one another for two
years without abatement. Two years ago
they cut prices on one another and each
claimed TO make the best and biggest loaf
for a nickel. Even then they got out hand
bills sneering at one another's bread and
tackled them 10 the trees. Today they are
getting out frequent handbIlls calling at
tention TO the size OF their losves and 9TH
erwisc insulting their "lOathsome contem-
porary.
The people OF Shawnee are n busting,
hustling lot. They hustle about all day,
whether they have anything TO do or not,
just TO keep in touch with the times. Ask
one Of them, and he will tell you that
Shawnee is going 70 he the greatest town
in the country; that the railroad is going
TO make il its division headquarters, with
a roundhouse, machine shop and mas
ter mechanic. and incidentally branch
running of south into Texas. In year
or two the town will settle Down, provided
If in that time the rain falls and lays the
dust for few hours. Il i The dustiest
town anywhere just row. and when you
eat in a restaurant pie that looks like
blackberry proves 10 he custard after you
get down through The dust But its a
good town and will be better.-kansas

THE HoRATlAN TRAMP.
He Has q little Quiet Fun ut the Masis
trate's Expense.


He outstays his welcome in a town and
is brought under the eye OF the law, which
gives to Migrants a short shrift. An anus
ing little police court scene then ensues-
The magistrate is a squatter of the old
school, self educated self made, and now,
under the exigencies Of the new social life
Of the colony, taking upon himself novel
and burdensoIne responsibilities for the
sake OF acquiring a position for his chill
dren in society" He has invited the WIS.,
itors staying with him to attend the court
and Is in consequence the more anxious 10
display his powers. Our deprecating tramp
is brought before him, condemned to listen
to short homily on the Righteousness of
work and the iniquity of loafing, and an
eloquent peroration is brought TO an en-
phatic close with a Latin tsg-goodness
knows where or when the worthy magis-
trate picked it up-over which he stumbles
and which he mispronounces. In his best
apologize voice, the tone of depreciation
Just sufficiently overdone 10 throw the
laugh against his approver and give no
cause for charging him with impertinence,
the occupant of the dock leans forward and
murmurs:
Your worship will excuse me, am
sure. l am willing to be fined, even sent
To Jail, without complaining, but l cannot
listen without protest to misquotataon OF
the author who sootheS my weary mo-
ments. The phrase runs, your worship,
Cum labor extuderit fastidia.
The position of the worthy squatter can
be imagined, and he hastily gives his IN
welcome prisoner few hours notice to
leave the town.
Neither is the tramp's boast unfounded.
His acquaintance with Horatian satare is
thorough, and though rough, dirty and re-
pulsive he is ripper scholar than many a

The Sen Lion Sunstruck.

The sea lion received at the Cincinnati
zoo from California a few days ago was
Frustrated by the heat recently and came
near dying. His condition is still serious
As soon as the superintendent discovered
the lions illness he summoned help and
had all the water drained from the lion s
basin. This done, the big lion was driven
into the grotto, which is in the center of
the basin. Once inside, a great quantity
of ice was secured and packed about the
sick animal. To further promote the treat
ment a hose was turned into the rookery
from the top and all the water necessary
to fill the basin at first passed over the
sick seal. He is still alive and improving
under the ice treatment.-St. Louis Globe
