The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1895-05-24

At meeting of the Luzerne Medi
cal Society recently, says the Wilkes
Barre Record, it was exemplihed that
hypnotic influence was capable of
being used as remedial agent. DR..
Long exhibited a patient from the
hospital, who for year or two has
been developing a morbid growth in
or around the gullet, and who has ex-
perienced great difficulty in swallow
ing, so much so that he had to be fed
with milk through a stomach tube.
The resident physician at the hos
pital had succeeded in hypnotising
him, and during the influence he was
able to swallow with little or no diff.
Guilty. DIR. Mengel, senior resident
physician at the hospital, gave de-
monstration to the society. After a
few passes the patient was easily ren.
dered hypnotic and was entirely under
the control of the doctor. There was
sight or absence of sight, feeling OF
absence of feeling, etc, just as the
doctor willed. The patient was hyp-
Noticed completely and on being
awakened had no recollection of any
thing that had occurred. That he
was not shammlng was shown by the
fact that the doctor could stick pins
into his body and place burning
matches against his flesh without max
ing him vince. The demonstration
was most interesting and was follow
ed by discussion. 1t was generally
agreed that hypnotism had an element
of danger and was not to be resorted
to except with great caution. DR..
Taylor mentioned the fact that in
Belgium law had been passed max,
ing it illegal to employ hypnotism.

Between frosts, bugs, droughts and
ever SO many other things the farmer
has hard lot. Weeds are among
his deadliest enemies. The Depart
ment of Agriculture in Washington
has been giving attention to this sub
ject, and aside from the Russian
thistle gives this list of nine species of
weeds which have worried the farmers
during the past year: I" "Prickly
lettuce" " bracted plantain,' "horse
nettle," "buffalo burr," "spiny ANA
ranth," dagger cookie burr" wild
carrot wild oat," and " false flax
The seeds of many ANIMALS retain
their vitality for several years, so that,
if they once become abundant in the
soil, they are likely to germinate at
irregular intervals and thus cause
trouble for long time, even though
no fresh seeds are introduced. In
such cases the only thing to be done
is to keep at it, preventing seed pro
duction year after year by moving or
by other means, thus gradually re-
ducing the quantity of weeds and
preventing further spreading. In cul.
tivated fields the land ought first to
be burned over, in order to destroy as
many as possible OF the seeds that lie
on the surface. Subsequent cultiva
tion will kill the seedlings as they

Men working in tanneries out in
Sullivan and Lycoming counties have
received heavy cut in their wages.
Some papers laid it to the tariff
Hides were put on the free list in the
Mckinley bill and were left the same
in the Wilson bill. The price of
leather keeps going up, and at meet
ing of shoe manufacturers held in
Boston last week it was voted to raise
the price on all shoes from 10 to Is
cents pair. "This rise in prices is
forced upon manufacturers by the ad-
vance In hides" Were the wages OF
the workmen in tanneries cut down
for the same reason2 Were either
or both affected by the tariff? Will
some political Ananias please stand
up and explain matters ?-Brajntrin7

Under the House apportionment
Allegheny and Philadelphia gain a
Congressman each. Allegheny also
gains Senator and four Representa-
tives. The legislative apportionment
bill gives Allegheny county four more
Representatives. 1t makes no change
in the representation from Phila-
delphia, although the geographical
construction of nearly every district is
changed. The legislative ratio is
10000. Under this ratio there will
be only 2o2 members of the House,
instead Of 2o4 as at present. Blair,
Cambria, Clearfield and Jefferson each
gain representative by the new ap
portionment, and Bedford, Chester
and Clarion, Columbia, Crawford,
Huntingdon, Lawrence, Mercer,
Somerset and Bradford each lose one.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Nothing can
equal it in building up woman's strength,
in regulating and assisting all her natural
functions. IT lessons the pains and burdens
OF child-bearing, supports and strengthens
weak, nursing mothers, and promotes an
abundant secretion of nourishment.
IT'S an invigorating, restorative tonic, q
soothing and bracing nervine, and remedy
for woman's ills and ailments. In every
chronic ''female complaint" or weakness,
it acts so benhcally that, once used, it is al
ways in favor.

1t gives us great pleasure to say
that tho State Agricultural and

to carry on tho great work in which
it has beon engaged, looking to the
advancement of the Agricultural
and Mechanical interests of oul
State, and that the usual Fair will
be held in Columbia, November
11th to 10Th, under the brightest
auspices.
All the money arrangements
have bocn mado for paying premi-
ums and othcr expenses.
The railroads have acccdcd to
our request, and have givon us a
rate Of ono cent per mile counting
both ways for thee days during
fair week.
Excursion trains will be run
during this time, 50 chat it will be
con> onicnt and cheap for the great
er part Of the people to attend.
Tho revision Of the premium list
is IN the hands Of Il Committed
appointed for the purpose, and will
soon be ready for distribution.
1t is highly probable that some
fine racing will bc witnessed, in
addition to the othcr attractive
features.
The last two fairs were as full
and equal in all respects in point
of tho number and the excellence
of exhibits as any preceding fairs,
though more slimly attended be-
cause of excessive railroad rates
charged visitors. All these draw
backs having been satisfactorily ad-
Iusted, thore is no reason why this
