 I have noticed an item in the daily paper of January 18th, that 200 boys were present at the Boys club the night of Jsnu- ary II. and that class in Military instruc- ton will be started in the club Monday evening. On January 18th another item sp- peared in the daily papers as follows: ''Ths East Gaylord street evening school was closed a week ago on account of small at tendance, and it is doubtful if the Washing. ton street school building will be reopenAd This leaves evening schools only in the Bank street, Clay street. Bishop street and Ridge street buildings.

DEATH OF A FAMOUS GANDER.
He Was a Decoy Fowl Noted for the Sue
cess of His methods.

He Was a Decoy Fowl Noted for the suc-
cess of His methods.
The sad news of the death of old
"Mingo" has come to the gunners along
the line of the Old Colony road, and if
he was only gander he had host of
friends, says the Boston Globe. He has
been at Widgeon point at the lake now
for more than thirty years and was one
of the wiscst and most deceptive birds
that ever decoyed the northern wan
derer from his journey TO the guns of
the sportsmen.
Old Mingo gained his name many
years ago from the remark of one of
the g'inners who was shooting over
him. II was about the time of the
bloody revolution in San Domingo. The
old chap was struck by stray shot.
and the gunner picked him up and took
him into the pen with all the solicitude
of true sportsman. There was blood
on the gunner's hands and tears in his
eyes, and from that day the old chap
was called Mingo, named after the
island on which so much blood was be-
ing split.
When the other decoys were unable
to entice the northern strangers from
their course, old Mingo was tried, and
he seldom If ever failed of attracting
their attention and gaining their good
will, for the time being at least.
Whether he had "a peculiar tone to his
voice or whether he was professional
''masher" will never be known, but his
record was second to none along the
shores OF that sportsmen's paradis- :, and
the gunners had all the game they
wanted if Mingo could catch the atten
ton of the geese.
After his long and faithful service
old Mingo seemed to know just how to
work and when to put in his very best
efforts. His ideas of enticing the geese
seemed based on principles which were
on a good foundation. He seldom
failed, and the old fellow has made
money for his owners and lots of sport
for the best gunners in the county If
there was tendcrfoot in the shooting
camp he was cautioned to look out and
not hit Mingo, but he at last fell VIC
tim TO the gun of an amateur who was
somewhat excited.
Mingo was owned by Thomas Arnold,
of North Abingdon, and Mr. Arnold
says that if man should have offered
him two hundred dollars for the bird it
would have been no temptation to him.
Mingo was just what he wanted, and
the most knowing bird in the county.
The gunners gave Mingo a Christian
burial, and he now rests in grave dug
for him near his happy hunting ground.

HYPNOTISM IN COURT.
They Use IL In Their Intrigues-Learned
Men Pronounce Opinions.

An interesting case was recently
brought before the criminal court of
Munich. A Polish adventurer named
Luberz-Czyuski had appeared in Ores
den as professional hypnotizer Ores
den has many rich people who have
nothing special 10 keep them employed,
and the man with the unpronounceab BILE
name found plenty of faithful follow
ers. Among these was lady of good
family, beautiful and rich. The PRO
fessor" declared his love To her, she
accepted him, and there under ordinary
circumstances would have been an end
to the matter. Unfortunately, how
ever, Czyuski had already a wife, and
he tried to get out of the difficulty by
sham marriage, asking his new
spouse To keep their union secret. But
the high-born lady's relatives got wind
of the affair and had the adventurer
arrested, accusing him of having hyp-
Noticed his victim. Half a dozen
learned men, says the Echo, Berlin,
were summoned from as many uni
versities to decide whether it was
possible to influence person TO such
an extent that all resistance Is impos-
sible. The jury failed TO be convinced
that such is the case. The charge
against Czyuski, of having made the
lady subservient To him without her
consent, was dismissed, but he was
convicted of disorderly conduct and of
criminal acts against the public moral
ity and sentenced TO three years i'm
prisonment, with five years loss of
civic honors. The Nation, Berlin, says:
Il do not believe that hypnotic influ-
ence is irresistible. When we see the
exhibitions of professional hypnotizers
we are led to think that they command
obedience. If a hypnotized person is
told: You are dog, he will begin to
bark and crawl on all tours. But be-
lieve that all such people are only
somewhat stupid individuals who fol-
low no other influence than the wish
to appear interesting or To please-for
some reason or other-the hypnotizer. 1
have often discovered proofs of this.
One man, for instance, was told that in
certain place there was wall too
high for him TO jump over. lIewent to
this place and began to jump, but he
always jumped-backward None of the
great scientists who interest themselves
| in hypnotism have ever declared that
| they themselves could be influenced.
II is impossible with person feeling
his responsibility, and neither Judge
nor jury could be influenced"

HOW SHE SAVED HER FATHER.
A Dramatic Episode In the Reign OF
Terror.

Dramatic Episode In the Reign OF
On the authority of Mile. de Lescure,
who heard it from the heroine's own
lips, writer in the Guardian tells the
true story of Mile. de Sombreuil's saw
ing her fathers life from the guillotine.
NJ. de Sombreuil and his daughter were
condemned TO death at the time of the
September massacres, and were waiting
in the cart, surrounded by the mob, for
their turn TO mount the scaffold.
Mile. de Sombreuil turned TO the crowd
and asked what harm a weak old man
like her father could do to the nation.
Some of the men answered that II she
would drink a glass of blood to the
nation they would let him go, and
passed up glass. She drank it down
Immediately. The crowd took her and
her father from The cart; they escaped
and made their way to England. She
thought at the time she drank blood
but afterward she concluded that II
was red wine, for she saw no one stooI
to fill the glass. To her death she
was never able, however, TO see red
wine In glass without a shudder.

THE HABIT OF NAIl-BITING.

Gus system.


Gus system.
There has just been issued from the
Paris press a brochure which is creating
large amount of interest in French
medical circles, both on account of its
originality and the experimental re-
suits which it embodies 1t is from the
pen of DR.. Edgar Berillon, so well
known in the surgical world by reason
Of his prominent connection with the
dead Charcot in the latter's hypnotic
experiments, and at present Secretarie
General de La Societe d'Hypnologie ct
de Psychologist of Paris and medical in
spector of the state. lunatic asylums.
The work is scientific treatise on ony-
cophagie, or fiugernail biting, and con-
tains the results of a series of observa-
tons in the public and private schools
of France, and extending through a
period of more than seven years. AT
the congress of the French Association
for the Advancement of Sciences, held
at Nancy in 1886, Berillon first an
nounced his observations on the habit
Of nail-biting, and since that time has
been in almost continuous experiment.
In his thoroughly scientific treatment
Of what the world has never before con-
sidered worthy of prolonged or special
study Berillon has arrived at results
really remarkable. His experiments
lead him to pronounce the habit far
more widespread and pernicious than
others promptly treated, and force him
to conclude that, if not disease itself,
it is an unfailing mark of incipient de-
generation of the nervous system,
which, unrecognized, may be productive
! Of the most evil results.

NEW YORk'S EXCESS OF WOMEN
Curious Facts About the Distribution of
the Feminine surplus

the Feminine surplus.
The census reveals some curious
facts about the distribution of New
York's excess of women New York
city has 10000 of them; Brooklyn, H.
600; Albany, $500; Troy, 5000; Utica,
5000; Rochester, 1000; Syracuse, LOO.
They are all, practically, in the larger
cities of the state, the one exception be-
ing Buffalo, which has 1000 more men
than women.
II would be interesting TO know more
about these 1000 superfiuous Buffalo
men, says writer in Harper's Weekly,
whether they are Poles, Italians, lake
sailors, canal boatmen or merely
lively young bachelors from the &C un-
try in the western part of the stnte,
who have gone TO Buffalo to seek their
fortunes.
New York city's business opportuni-
ties, which attract crowds of men,
seem to attract quite as many women.
Yet the excess of women in New York
Is comparatively small. The city has
as women TO every a. men, while Brook
Ign has 20 women TO every 25 men and
Troy IL women TO every 10 men. Why
should it happen that in the suburban
counties nearest New York there should
be more men than women?
1t would seem that of the population
drawn by the metropolis to this end OF
the state the unmarried men would
nearly all live in the cities and tn,
jewellers in the suburbs would for tn,
most part be people with families. Ye'
the suburban countries all show an ex
cess of men-1 800 in Westchester, L,
! 200 in Richmond and $500 in Queens.
