CONCERNING The TRANCE.


According to Qualn, respectable au-
thority, the onset Of the state OF trance
is usually sudden. 1t may succeed an
hysteroid CONFUSION and in some other
cases the onset has been attended with
IN aura, resembling the globus hys-
tericus, or the sensation which pre-
cedes hysteroid and epleptic fits, as
Of ball rising from the abdomen to
the throat. During this state the coun-
tenance is usually extremely pale. The
limbs are relaxed. The eyelids are
usually closed, and may resist and
culver on attempts to open them. The
eyeballs are directly upward in most
cases; they often deyiate from the mid
die line and sometimes diverge slightly.
The mental functions seem In most
cases to be in complete allegiance. No
manifestations Of consciousness can
be observed or elected by the most
powerful cutaneous stimulation, and
Oh recovery no recollection Of the state
is preserved. But in some cases volt
ton only is lost and the patient is
aware of all that passes, although I'M
able to give the slightest evidence OF
consciousness. The usual condition is
that of an entire absence of all evidence
Of mental activity. The duration of
trance has varied from few hours or
days to several weeks, months or even
Il year. The diagnosis Of trance rests
on the impossibility Of rousing the
sleeper. In case of death trance, in
which no signs Of vitality Gun be recog-
MED, the presence Of life may be ascer-
tanned by the absence of any signs of
decomposition, by the normal appear
ance Of the fundus oculi as seen with
the opthalmoscope, by the persistence
Of the excitability Of the muscles by
electricity. This excitability disappears

BRAIN AND MUSCLE.



The man who uses both brains and
muscle will far outstrip in the race OF
life the man who uses only his muscles.
This is true III every calling in which
men engage, but especially is it true in
farming. The farmers who are getting
along the easiest, other things equal,
are those who mix brains with their
work; who plan and systematic their
work; do everything in its season, and
in the most thorough manner possible.
The farmer who, for instance, does not
decide what crops he will plant till
planting time comes; or the one who
breaks his ground regardless of the con-
dition Of the soil, plants INFESTED or
doubtful seed in poorly prepared soil,
cannot be said to have mixed enough
brains with his work.
There is no doubt that many farmers
would have better profits If they would
rest, recreate and read more and work
fewer hours. There is such thing as
doing too much manual labor. The
farmers, as u class, certainly cannot be
accused of being lazy. The majority of
them work too hard, at least during
some seasons Of the year. 1t is more
than likely that many do not distribute
their work well, and are, as a conse-
quence, too busy at some seasons and
have too much leisure at others. Here,
ngain, Is where the brains come in. The
work should be planned with view to
doing it most economically. This can
be done by judiciols distribution OF
work which will keep hands and teams
reasonably busy during oil seasons of
the year, instead Of hiring help and
rushing at some seasons, and then TAX
ing it easy for a considerable spell.
There are times when even the most
systematic farmer Is thrown behind

only be added that his commerce with

would have been in the highest degree

BRAY'S STORE ROBBED.
Thieves Open ths safe, But Get Little
Money They ad unch Also.

Thieves Open this safe. But Get Little
Moley They adj Lunch Also.
Burglars paid an unwelcome visit
Friday night to the wholesale store of
"A. f. Bray on East Park street. When
II. Levitre, one of the clerks, tried to
open the front door on the warehouse
yesterday morning he discovered that
1t was barred on the inside. He then
went around to the back door, which
he found open. Evidently the burglars
had pried open the rear door and barred
the front door on the inside to guard
against interruption. The burglars
evidently directed their attention first
to Mr.. Brays safe. in the corner of the
office, The safe was not locked, very
little money being kept in it. A jimmy
was used to unlock the iron box in the
safe. In the drawers were a number
of city warrants aggregating $500 or
$4,000, which the robbers did not take.
About $40 in change and two silver
watches were taken by the burglars.
The burglars then directed their at
tention to the stock and helped them
selves to cigars and meerschaum and
brierwood pipes and tobacco. They
also opened up lot of canned goods
and had a free lunch. Apparently they
left in a great hurry, for they left be-
hind them a brace and a Jimmy.
Probably the same gang of burglars
operated the same night at the Pine
Tree saloon about half mile further
east on Park street. They entered the
cellar of the saloon by a window on the
east side. From the cellar they reach
ed the saloon by means of a trap door
They broke open the till and obtained
about 81 in nickels and dimes.
They also took a bottle of brandy
and about a half box of cigars. This
burglary was probably committed ear
lier than the one at Bray's. The sa-
loon was closed at IL O'Clock. A bar
tender slept in a rear room and heard
nothing He was awakened about
o'clock by a woman knocking at the
door for a bucket of beer. He got her
the beer and at the same time discov-
cred the robbery. So this burglary
must have taken place between IL and
l o'clock.
The officers are working on both
cases. but there Is not much prospect
of success, as the clues left are very
slight

Tor ST. Louis, where they will work in
the labor unions until after the repub-
lican convention. and will then go to
Chicago, and from there they will scat

where they can do most good. The bu-
reau last evening adopted the follow

severity and duration which leaves its
mask in the character of calamity

tress and death in its wake. This un-
pardonable crime was committed
against an unsuspecting and inoffen-
sive people. therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the laboring

denim all national legislation tending
towards the demonetization Of silver
which we accuse for the deplorable
condition cited, be ii further
Resolved, That as the power con-
ferred on congress by the constitution
to coin money is mandatory, and we
demand that this power be exercised
and that the minis be at once opened
to the coinage of gold and silver at the

Resolved, That we will not support
for a legislative or executive office any
candidate who is not thoroughly COM
mitted by the platform and declara-
tions to the restoration of the none
tary system violently disturbed by the
legislation demonetizing silver in 1873;
be il further,
Resolved, That while we would hail
with joy the cooperation of other ma
lions in the restoration of silver to its
proper monetary position, yet we de-
mand that the United States right the
wrong it has perpetrated upon the pro-
ducing and industrial classes without
regard to the action of other nations;
be it further,
Resolved, That the time has now
come to quit the foolishness of calling
conventions every few years in which
to ask other nations to help US to make
some money to relieve our distress; be
1t further,
Resolved, That we heartily approve
of the action taken by the labor organ
