HYPNOTISM
Does Not Reveal Any Characteris
tic Unless 1t Really Exists.

There would be little. indeed in hypnotism,
and the scientific world might righteously ig-
more its Importance as subject of investiga-
tion if 1t were proved to have nothing more
in 1t than the dominance of one will over
another, or the power of so-called "sugges-
ton" to control human minds, says Harper y
Bazar.
But, as with any other subject worth in
vestigating, much more is revealed to the
student of hypnotism than that which he at
first sets out to discover. No sooner for in
stance, has he established beyond question
proofs of the power of mind over mind and
of suggestion" in control, than he is forced
to recognize how little potency lies in either
when compared to that great power of resist
ance to them which is generated by an in
dividuafs own strength of character.
No hypnotism in the world, as a great au-
thority has shown, make a really tenn
perate person. when under hypnotic control
simulate or yield to drunkenness; nor can
a truly modest person be induced to do that
which would. in waking hours SAVIOR of i'm
modesty The man with true dignity of soul
keeps his dignity intact, and one of real kind
ness of nature shows no glimmer of harsh
feeling.
And thus, as can readily be seen, one more
proof from an unexpected source has been
added to those already in our possession going
to show the value and power of character
OF that which man inherently and in
trinsicaliy is, rather than thatswhich he ap-
pears 10 be. 1t makes out, too, even a harder
case against Adam, who need never have
yielded to Eve but for a weakness in him
self.

WHOLE TOWN ON THE MOVE.
Village of Katonah, I'm New York,
Is Being Transported.

Is Being Transported.
NEW YORK, Dec 20-The town of
Katonah, with 500 Inhabitants, in Vest
chester county, is migrating-not the
people alone, but the houses, stores,
barns, churches, burying ground and
all.
The site Of Katonah is wanted for e.
water shed for the Croton water works,
and, in accordance with a legislative
act, the clerk OF the New York COM
missioners has spoken and the town
is on the move. 1t has to go up the
fill about mile and will finally come
to rest on a plateau about 100 acres In
extent. The village will ultimately set
tie on this high ground in such way
that there will be fine esplanade in
the center.
The village was named after the sa-
chem of the Katchawans, who used
to haunt the Harlem country, after
death, because he drank the f1rewater
of the pale faces in the time of the good
old Wouter Van Twiller. Since the
grist mills, the carpet mills and the
millionaires settled on the sites Of the
wigwam the ghost of the old chief
has quit roaming, but the spirit of un
rest goes with his name and the VIII
lage named in his honor, in the fiftieth
year of its existence, when it ought to
be It's staidest, is gallivanting around
the country like a travelling circus.
The Katonah bank, one of the
staunchest institutions in Westchester
county, is on wheels, heading the exo-
dus. The church was founded on
rock. but it has joined the procession
and Is sturdily moving UP the hill and
all the homes and business places are
following. The bodies in the old ceme-
terieS have already been taken to the
Gandell burying ground at Somers
All the residents of Katonah have
been notified to be away from the old
site with their goods and chattels.

TAFFY AP SION.
Wales Rip Van Wrinkle and the LIE.
gend Concerning Him.


Every nation has Rip Van Wrinkle of it's
own, but the Welsh story of Rip is unique
says Appincotts. He Is known as Taffy ap
ing on a tree close by his path. Allured BY
the melody he sat down until the music
ceased; when he arose what was his surprise
at observing that the tree under which he
had taken his seat had now become dead and
withered. In the doorway of his home, which
to his amazement, had also suddenly grown
older he asked a strange old man for his
parents, whom he had left there he said
a few minutes before. Upon learning his
name the old said: Alas Taffy. /
er, speak of you, and it was said YOU were
under the power of the fairies and c Nd not
be released until the last sap of that syca-
more had dried up. Embrace me, my dear
uncle, for you are my uncle-embrace your
nephew" Welshmen do not always perceive
the humor of this somewhat novel situation
OF youth-for Taffy was still merely boy
being hailed as uncle by gentleman per-
haps forty years his senior.

Michigan WOrkmen Pump Good
Liquor Out of a Buried CasL

GALESBURG, Mich, Dec 2O.-An
extraordinary find was made by well
diggers near this village. At depth
Of fifteen feet the drill met with an
obstruction, and the pump discharged
a superior article of whisky, which
continued until some fifteen gallons
had been drawn.
AT the bottom of the pipe a barrel
was found which had undoubtedly
contained it's full quota Of the ardent
when planted. A peculiar feature was
the fact that the point of the drill en-
tered exactly at the bunghole, and
when found the barrel was unmarried

Photographing the Eye.

AZ meeting of the Paris ACADEMY d
Medicine. M. Guinkoff stated that he had
successfully photographed the interior of the
eye. The advantages of this method are i'm
portant, since 1T enables actual pictures Of
the disease of the retina to be secured and
compared from time to time to determine
whether disease processes of the eye progress
or not. The picture is made in two seconds.
The apparatus can thus serve as an ophthaI-
moscope, and any number OF persons can thus
observe the results.-American Journal Of
Photography.

WHO u now say that Billy O'Bry-
an, "the boy orator of the Platte" is
not a grand SUGGEST He made the ef-
fort of his life in i|naugurating his hip
podrome in Madison Square Garden,
New York, and succeeded in emptying
five thousand seats in exactly thirty
minutes. The managers were sorely
disappointed. The crowd that packed
the inside and swirled around the out
side.was large enough for u respectable
sendotf, but it lacked enthusiasm and
one third of the multitude left before
the much exploited performance was
half over. 1t was intended by the Pop.
ocratic managers that this demonstra.
ton should be a perfect paralizer to
the Republicans and raise q storm for
their hybrid ticket that would sweep
the country. The big cannon was
loaded to the muzzle, it made a terrific
explosion, but it shot in the opposite di-
rection intended, and instead of killing
Billy Mckinley, of Ohio, it shot Bill.
ly O'Bryan, of Hogan's Alley, into i'm.
~palpable atoms. AS u starter il was q
prophecy of the cyclones that will
shred the combine of the foes to ma.
tional prosperity and integrity and of
the landsiides that will bury them in
November beyond the hope of resurrec-
ton.
