HYPNO1iSM ON TRIAL.
The Subject Did Not Respond When Sigh
and Hearing Were Cut OF:

| The Subject Did Not Respond When Sight
and Hearing Were Cut OF:
| Some experiments in hypnotism which
DR.. Luys, the French physician, was re-
GENTLY permitted to try before the Societe
de Biologie in Paris have raised a doubt
as to the genuineness Of the new science.
DR.. Luys is confirmed hypnotist and
has made many experiments.
When the time'for the public expert
mento before the French society came,
DR.. Luys had a subject who had lost the
little finger of his left hand. The man
was put in trance, and then this hand
was spread out on a table, DR.. Luys
took pin and stuck it in the table at
the place where the missing finger would
have been. He repeated the experiment
several times, using pins, needles and
knives, and each time the patient pulled
away his hand and groaned, as though in
pain. Just as long as DR.: Luys had the
man in hand the experiments were high.
~ successful. Some of the other physi.
clans present objected to his announcing
just what he was going to do before each
experiment. DR.. Luys turned the pa.
tient over to them.
They laid his hand under the table,
held anewspapcr in front of his face SO
that he could not see what was being
done and then made several jabs with
steel pen at the spot where the little
finger should be. Each time the patient
groaned and pulled his hand away.
Then one of the physicians argued that
if the patient was shamming it would
be easy enough for him to know just
when the pen was stuck in the table, as
the scratching noise it made was dis
tinctly audible.
So it was quietly agreed to simply
put the pen within fraction of an inch
of the table. This was done, the news
paper still being held before the mans
eyes, and he never made move. Not
groan nor an attempt to pull the hand
away followed the experiment..
DR.. Luys was amazed, but attempted
no explanation. Paris Letter.

A Startling Omission at a London State
 Luncheon.
 All was in readiness for the luncheon which M. Hanotaux, the foreign sccre- ary, was giving to the members of tho bretrical convention and Sir Joseph Eenals. About 12 o'clock the chief reward bestowed a last look of proud satisfaction at the harmonious sct-out of the table. All at once he shnddered, as a poet might have done, in the final revision of his proofs, at the discovery of a printers error that would have horribly disfgured his latest sonnet.
 "The menu cards." he exclaimed. they have been forgotten; lay them round at once; there's not minute tc I0se!"
 Search was made for the bills of fare on the sideboards in the dining-room, in the buffers pantry, at the foreign office, even in the minister's private rccms Not trace of the menu cards and the lord mayor might arrive any moment! No such disaster had befallen since the days of poor Vatel.
 The fact was communicated to M Crozier with all the dehcacy that the circumstances demanded. Various pro rosals were submitted. At length it was decided that all the functionaries, great and small, who happened to be present should be laid under requisi- tion; even the son of the hall porter found himself pressed for the nonce into the service of the diplomatic corps, The ink of Che last copy was hardly dry when the lord mayor entered the banqueting hall.

VERY FRUGAL PEERS.

Members of the English Peerage Do Not
 squander Their Wealth Needlessly.
 Thereis no one in the English peerage who has the reputation of driving a closer bargain and possessing a keener eye to the main chance than the duke of Westminster, says the Brooklyn Citi- zen. The young duke of Bedford, who runs his grace of Westminster very close in the point of wealth, distin- guished himself the other day in the London police court by the animosity which he displayed in prosecuting the poor itinerant vendors of fruits and veg etables who had attempted to dispose of their wares in the neighborhood of Coyent Garden market, which belongs to him and is one of his principal sources of revenue He claimed that by hawking their wares on the border line of the market they interfered with those who rented stalls therein from him. And now we have Lord Bobarts, the richest peer in the west of England, and possessed of tin mines in Cornwall which alone yield him over S25O.00O a year, getting the best of brother peer, the popular earl of Ilardwiclie, by fore closing @ mortgage which had hitherto been considered friendly agreement. Of course, Lord Bobarts is within his strict legalrights, but by his altogether unexpected foreclosure he has managed to acquire Wimpolc hall, the ancestral mansion and country seat of the earl of Hardwicke. as well as the large estate in connection herewith, for oue-third of the value at which it was officially ap- praised three or four years ago.

The Sad story Behind Suicide That Has
 Startled Vienna
 There is an interesting story under heath a little dispatch from Vienna, to the effect that the aged Field Marshal Lieut. Gustav von Duust-Adclshcim su, of Austria's most distinguished vet eran soldiers, had committed suicide after killing his wife, says the Pitts hurgh Chronicle-Telegraph This fine old soldier was married to a Baroness Abele, a lady almost 25 years younger than himself. She was known in Ni- enna as a stylish and ambitious woman. According to her own station in life, and in the high military rank of her husband, she maintained a fashionable home, keeping full pace with the nobil- itv, She was enabled 10 do SO, as her husband drew yearly salary of 14,0OO Austrian tiorins tabout SG,O0ol, and the couple moreover were childlcss.
 But when the general retired from the army his revenues dropped down to Sl,s0O for the pensions paid the Aus triau army officers are extremely small. The baroness could not part with lux uries and social ambition and the fond old general yielded to her demands and kept up his costly residence in Vienna, instead of going to some cheaper place. The general speculated to increase his revenue, He failed, being heavily in debt. The gallant soldier, who had faced the enemies of his empire and country in more than a dozen battles, 5uld not bear the thought oi seeing his name disgraced, and resolved to die. His wife also preferred death to social ruin, and so they ended the struggle with 9 revolver.

 Persian carpets, of course, are still, as they have always been, superior in beauty and durability to all others, but their responsiveness disqualifies them from competition with Indian, Turk ish and British fabrics and places them in the catogary of those exceptionally costly articles de luxe" in the posses sion of which only the very wealthy may rghtfully indulge themselves. A few years ago, at the sale of the Goupil collection in Paris, the equivalent in French currency of S6,O00 was paid for one square of "old Persian" measuring seven feet by six, and several others of small size were eagerly snapped up at from S2,50O to $i,0O0 apiece.
