almost no pressure of the hand now, or the
bind will not sleep deeply. Yet the grasp
must not be looscned entirely, or the body
will roll in the palm OF the hand, and the
bird awake. In few minutes, sometimes
two, sometimes live or ten, the eyelids will
have entirely closed Still hold the bird
carefully for two or three minutes. * By the
end of this time it will be sleeping.
1t may now be handled freely but
gently. Held Ivy the foot, head downward,
its body is entirely limp, like bird just
shot. The neck stretches beyond the
shoulders, the head swings freely, and the
feathers droop. The bird may be tossed
about without awaking so long as it is not
dropped or hurt in any way.

COLONEL SCOTT AND GENERAL
POPE.

Megargee, in the Philadelphia Times,
says that Colonel Thomas A. Scott was
singularly unassuming in his dress and
demeanor. When he was assistant Secre-
tary of War, he had occasion to visit Cen
eral Pope at his headquarters at New Mad
rid, Mo. General Pope was greatly addic-
ted to profanity and violence Of manner.
Colonel Scott entered the headquarters with
the remark, "should like to see General
Pope on business"
'See my adjutant!" roared Pope.
"My business is with General Pope in
person.
''Blank, blank your business! See my
adiutant, tell you!'
''My name is Scott
81 don't care whether your name is Scott
or Jones or Smith or Brown. See my adju-
tant, blank blank you!'
GAS l was about to say, my name is
Scott, and | wish to see you on govern
ment business. / have the honor to be As
sistant Secretary of War"
Pope's demeanOr underwent revolu-
tion as he said in the blandest manner: 81
beg your pardon, colonel, had no inten-
ton to be rude, but there are so many loafers
in camp, and they annoy me SO much, that
l am sometimes put out Of temper. Be
good enough to take a seat and have the
kindness to inform me of your wishes.'
Colonel Scott entered at once upon the
business in hand, making no reference
whatever to Pope's outrageous behavior
and acting just as though the occurrence
had not taken place.

MESMERIZING
PET ANIMALS.
Children Can Often Put Dogs and Birds
in Trance.

About 1776, Mesmer, Vienna physician,
discovered among his patients several per-
sons whom he could put to sleep when he
so wished simply by stroking their fore
heads or by making passes with his hands
in front of their eyes. He made a great
many experiments and little by little
learned more about this power, which, be-
cause he was the first to discover it, he
called Mesmerism. Many stories were told
of the wonderful things Mesmer could do
with the people he put to sleep. These
stories We're not generally believed, and
most of the people who did think them true
said that Mesmer was witch, and ought
to be hanged There were few, however,
who thought that this new power might be
very good thing if rightly used, and so
they, too started to experiment. Ever
since then physicians have been interested
in mesmerism, or hypnotism, as it is called
now, and a great many make use of it
among their patients.
Some scientists claim that the animals
most easily hypnotized are those of the
lowest order of intellect. A cat, for in
stance, is more easily hypnotized than a
dog. But monkey, which is of greater
intelligence than duck, is hypnotized in
about half the time it takes with that
animal. For practice in hypnotizing ami
mails, bird is the most convenient subject.
The kind makes very little differences
pigeon, dove, canary or sparrow all answer
ing equally we'll. Hold the bird securely,
but gently, in the hand, back downward.
Look straight into its eyes. The little
creature will at first struggle to escape, but
after q minute or two it becomes quiet.
On first attempts it may be difficult to fix
the birds gaze, but the fascination Of the
human eye will make itself felt in the end,
and the tiny subject will not take its eyes of
the hypnotizer. When it has reached this
stage, begin very slowly to loosen the
grasp. As the pressure grows lighter the
bird comes more under the influence Of the
charm exerted by the firm gaze. The beat
ing Of its heart, which can easily be felt in
J the fingers, becomes more rapid, the legs

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
The Poor We're Not Forgotten In the Days
OF long \ 20.

The Poor Were Not Forgotten In the Days
of Long Ago.
There Is an ancient custom for the
rector of Piddle Hinton, IN Dorsctshirc,
to give away on old Christmas day, the
9th of January, annually, a pound Of
dread. pint Of ale and mlnce pie to
every poor person IN the parish, and this
distribution Is regularly made by the
rector to upward of 300 poor persons.
AT Stafford there i an old charity for
! providing poor people with plums for
their Christmas buildings, aud kind
hearted man at Burnham left sum
sufficient To provide the inmates of the
poorhonse of the parish with Christ
mas dinner, followed by proper supply
of ale, tobacco and snuff.
AT Prince Risborough, IN Bucking-
hamshire, there was very singular
Christmas usage. Up To about 1913 "a
| bull, a boar, "a sack of wheat and a sack
OF malt We're given away to the poor by
the lord of the manor at about o'clock
every Christmas morning. This practice
was then discontinued, and for about

distributed III place of the above articles
Mr. Grubb-tit name for the dispenser
of what Rittmaster Dugald Dalgetty
would call the provend of the par
sonage house, the then lord Of the man
or, whose father first stopped the above
customary distribution, produced to the
commissioners of charities IA case which
his father had laid before justice, rel
alive TO this custom, with view of OBJ
tanning the opinion of counsel as to
whether 1t could be sustained as Gus.
tom at common law, and whether he
should be subject to legal process if he
omitted to make the distribution
1t appears from the document that
the custom had then prevailed for a
considerable number of years; that 1t
was mentioned i'll the local histories,
but that Its origin was lost i'll obscurity.
The practice while it lasted, seems to
have been productive of much intoxica-
ton and riot. The poor are said to have
paraded the town during the whole
night preceding the distribution with

they all rushed to the feast prepared for
them with so little decorum and for

priority they inflicted wounds on one
