The CAPTAINS Dinner.

pleasant pomp and ceremony with which
the end of the voyage is celebrated on the
last night out.
lit seems" she says, THAT it is always
customary, ON the German line at least
and probably on all, to have an especially
elaborate dinner just before arriving in
Southampt which is called the cap
tain's' dinner. Every one is supposed tc
order wine and drink to the health Of our
captain, while he responds, toasting the
health and safe journeyings Of his passen-
gers. When we came to the table, we
found it decorated with most elaborate
cakes four stories high, with little A1neri.
and little paper ornaments-truly German
"We went through most elaborate
menu, and when we came to the dessert
the walters suddenly disappeared, the mu-
sic stopped and the lights went out. A
hush and sense of expectancy fell upon the
company. Suddenly the music started a
lively march, the doors opened, and the
walters appeared bearing trays On each

light inside, and around this sat small
Japanese figures made Of ice cream, each
holding in his arms little umbrella Of
lighted colored paper. The room was per-
fectly dark, and the effect as the walters
marched around and around, forming diff
ferent figures and bearing their illuminat-

Everybody olapped and cheered. Then the
lights were turned on, and we ate the ice

Some O: tho most amusing stories are
those viii. h havo q serious side. An old
Confederate soldier tho other day told a
story that is very laughablo in these days
Of peace. 1t was aftcr John Morgan was
made general that company was form
ed Of somo of his old squadron who had
Just returned from Camp Chase, where
for some time they had been imprisoned.
The company had been formed by a man
named Quirk, Il reckless, daring fellow,
and stranger to fear. Tho company went
by tho name Of Quirk's scouts.
At this time the company was down in
middle Tennessee and was skirmishing
around for q fight, when they suddenly
came upon a regiment Of Federal cavalry.
In short time the two bodies Of soldiers
were standing face to face, and the bullets
were flying thick and fast through the air
The fight that followed was O desperate
ono, and each side seemed determined to
stand it's ground. Suddenly, as the fight
was at it's hottest, a horse was seen to dash
out of the Confederate line and start In a
direct limo for the Yankee regiment. On
the horses back was a man named Eng
lish, who was leaning back In his saddle
, and pulling with all his might in q futile
effort to stop his frightened horse. The
animal was yellow in color, and in run
ming took long and clumsy jumps. The
rider finally saw that he could not stop tho
animal, and he made up his mind to make
the best OF his situation. He leaned for
ward in his saddle until his head almost
touched his hUrso's neck and his hands
clasped tho bride near the bit. Even the
riders cars seemed pinned back, SO great
was his effort to make himself as small as
possible. His face was as pale as DEATH

turning neither to tho right nor left, and
closer and closer did the rider keep to the
animals body.
Tho Yankees saw the horse with it's rider
making straight for them, and they were
seized with CONSERVATION. Some of the
soldiers ceased firing and looked excitedly
ct the maddened animal flying toward
them. In short while he reached the rogi-
ment, but did not stop. The Federals al
most foil upon each other in their efforts
to get away from the horso's heels, and a
regular panic followed. The animal went
plunging through the center of the regi-
ment, foaming at the mouth and with
head down. The horse and rider dashed
on through tho entire regiment, and tho
Yankees kept making way for them all
down tho entire line. Not q shot was fired
until he had gotten out Of range, and then
nearly half the regiment, who had man
aged to recover themselves from their u.s.
tonishment, fired at a cloud of dust rising
in the air, but the horse and rider were at
q safe distance.
The horse made a complete circle, re-
turning to the Confederate company in
safety. When the rebels saw their COM
rade had returned without scratch from
such a dangerous ride, they almost forgot
the fight before them, and there went up a

HypnOt1Sm.

More and more generally, as evil
dence in its favor accumulates, are the
asserted facts Of hypnotism being &C
oepted as true the world over. Indeed it
may almost be said that no scoffers arc
to be found among those who have
made careful investigation Of hypnotic
phenomena.
But, curiously enough, there are rad
ical differences of opinion among these
investigators as to the value of hypno-
tism to the human race. In America
most Of the eminent physicians who
have taken it up declare that its use as
a curative agent is very small, and that
the possible evil results are SO grave as
to much more than counterbalance the
good that may be accomplished by its
employment. There are so called hyp-
motto healers by the score, some OF
whom exhibit evidences of truly won
derful performances which have never
been disproved. but the regular practi--
TONERS have been and are very cautious
about it's use. One very prominent ply
stefan claims that, although many nerv-
Gus affections and the appetite for liquor,
tobacco and opium could undoubtedly
be favorably Influenced by hypnotic
suggestion, this influence is short lived
unless REINFORCED by repeatedly SUBJ
jecting the patient to hypnotic treat
ment, and that such repetitions often
proved Of serious injury, the will power
almost invariably being seriously weak
ened and the general physical health
often ultimately suffering accordingly.
In France, however, some Of the most
distinguished practitioners employ hyp-
notism constantly, and, they claim, with
results that are almost invariably bene-
fetal. Possibly the difference arises in
some measure from the fact that Ameri-
cans do not so readily yield to hypno-
tism as do the French, or, in fact, the
inhabitants of any European country.
Professor Luys, very prominent
French hypnotist, and many others Of
his nationality and calling, believe that
hypnotism will go farther toward solv
ing the problem of the soul than any.
thing else, and they and their followers
look for startling developments along
this line. Professor Luys claims that if
a soft iron horseshoe magnet be placed
On that IT. oncirc1es the hack head of q
person of jovial temperament, so that
the poles Of the magnet are i'll contact
with the temples for six hours, and then
the same magnet be applied to the head
of a morose person the latter will lose
his gloom for the time being and be-
come as jolly as the man whose tempera-
ment has been absorbed by the magnet
for his benefit.
This is important if true" though
it may have little to do with hypnotism.

Nature and Chance.

This is the best time of the year tt
go out of the highways to the byway'
and study nature.
Take the flowers, for instance. WIKI
painted them? A good many of the
pseudo scientists will maintain thai
their beauty can be explained on Oar
winiah principles, as being Of advan
tage to them in the struggle for exist
ence by attracting the visits Of honey
seeking insects, which are necessary tt
fertilization. But there are grave diff.
culties to this evolutionary theory. There
are conspicuous and highly colored flow
ers which contain no honey and some Of
the least noticeable of flowers are the
richest in honey and the greatest favor
ties of the bees.
Then take the matter Of instinct. Who
taught the birds, for instance, to build
their nests? They never saw one built.
They never took lesson in the build
ing. But they succeed admirably the
first time. Here again the evolutionisI
COMES in with his reply. This instinct
he says. originated in chance acts which,
proving advantageous, have by natura.
selection been perpetuated as habits.
But, allowing this instinct to be inner
tied habit, it does not take away the
need Of first instinct that was not q
habit, but was capable Of forming hab
it's If there were not such a first habit
to build upon, habit there could not be.
These same wiseacre evolutionists at.
tribute the song Of birds to the same
cause-chance acts. But if chance played
such wonderful part, why by chance
did it not give song to the OK, or the
lion, or the rhinoceros, and thus turn the
woods into pandemonium rather than
fill it with music Of the right force tc
delight the ear of man?
The theories of the evolutionists are
about as absurd as to claim that chance
makes two and two four. It is absurd
to assume that we can find in nature
proofs of order unless order has preced,
ed them.
