THE DUTY OF YOUNG MEN.
BY JOHN c. KELLEY.

| BY JOHN G. KELLEY.
The welfare of the young men of this
community is the sole object of the Y. NJ
@. A. in our midst. To keep them from
evil and win them to be christian gentle.
men. industrious and good citizens, loyal
to their homes and churches. It is an i'm
portant fact that the welfare of young men
Should be looked after for 1t is on them the
future Of community depends. Time
only will tell how soon the Fathers of these
Sons who are members of the Y. NJ. C. A.
will pass away and these Sons will come
forward as prominent men in the church
and community. We propose to cater to
every wholesome taste and inclination of
young men. For social wants, social
games and amusements; for intellectual
wants, the reading room, library, and
monthly literary meeting. The fact that
young men are very important factor in
every community for good or evil is that
sufficient number because of age every four
years to control the issue of the presiden-
tial elections;that the criminal classes are
composed chiefly ofyou & mel; nj that the
number of young men found at places o II
worship on Sundays or week day services
is rather small. The association is compos
ed to certain extent of young men ofthe
different churches of our town, thus it
can be seen that its members are good
citizens and interested in everything for the
welfare of the community. It is blessing
that such an association is our in town. It
prevents much evil and leads to the chang
ing the hearts and lives of men which have
been running in the wrong direction and
that the interest of the community. church
and society are advanced by it. Every
body should take an interest in such an
assoc iation and support it with their |
pocket-book. All persons in the commu-
nuity interested in the cause should visit |
the association and encourage us with their |
presence and good cheer.

HxpnotI.m In Medicine.

The Journal of the American Medical
Association has an editorial, the general
trend of which is to show that hyp-
notism has had its day and is practical
ly being laid upon the shelf. or, at least
its use confined to irregulars outside of
the recognized school of medicine. This
is rather curious statement TO make,
at least if one measures the interest of
a medical topic by the number of arti-
-eles written about il. There are few
subjects upon which German physi-
clans are writing more monograms at
present or in which they seem to take
a more active interest The sensational
side of hypnotism is certainly dying
out, but certain practical side, which
is represented by the word ''sugges-
tion." has undoubtedly come to stay and
to be used in therapeutics

South Africa. Joan of Arc.

Cecil Armitage, young English
man in Ashantee, tells of a strange
West African Joan of Arc" who is
equipping an army for King Prempeh.
Her appearance is more impressive than
beautiful, and, unlike the famous
French Joan, whose features we know.
this dusky amazon is said to have only
one eye, one ear and one arm and to
wear her hair hanging long. With one
touch of her magic wand she can bring
armies together, and in an engagement
brass pan is placed before her. into
which all the bullets of the enemy can
conveniently fall without hurting her
brave soldiers
