HYPNOTISM CURES BAD HABITS
Physical Infirmities Sometimes Overcome
by the Occult Power.

Physical Infirmities Sometimes Overcome
by the Occult Power.
When somnambulist is put into the
hypnotic condition and then talks it is
found that the speaker is that same
personality which spoke and acted dur
ing the time of ordinary somnambul-
ism, showing that the personality which
acts during ordinary soplnambulism
and the personality brought into ac-
ton by hypnotism are the same. This
new personality has of late become a
subject of great interest and persistent
study. Not only does it come into ac-
the hypnotic condition, but also in
dreams, in reverie, in abstraction, and
sometimes apparently in normal pas
sive condition. This second personal
ity has been named the subconscious or
subliminal self, and it possesses many
curious faculties which we have no
time to consider here; but, whatever
this subliminal self may be, we have in
hypnotism the means of experimental
]y reaching and influencing it, and this
is where the great power of suggestion
appears and is utilized.
Suppose, then, the physician has the
patient in the deep hypnotic sleeps. the
patient hears nothing, perhaps feels
nothing. The physician then says to
him: "When you awake you will take
the book which lies on the table, open
it at the forty-third page and read four
lines at the top of the page" He is
then awakened. He has heard nothing,
but his subliminal self, which has been
made accessible by hypnotism, has
heard, and influences him to carry out
the suggestion. He goes to the table
and takes up the book, finds the forty
third page, and he reads the four lines
at the top of the page. He has no
thought but that he 10 doing it all of
his own accord, and so he is he is obey
ing the impulse of his own subliminal
self.
Suppose the patient to be a boy with
the cigarette habit, and the physician
had suggested as follows: when you
awake you will no longer desire to
smoke. On the contrary, the very
thought of it will be disagreeable to
you, and you will avoid it altogether"
He wakes, he knows nothing of what
has transpired, but he finds he has no
longer the desire to smoke, and conse-
quently he ceases the practice.-North
American Review.

Humbugs Among Animals.

One who has deeply studied the
habits of animals has discovered that
there are humbugs among them. In
military stables horses are known to
have pretended to be lame in order to
avoid going to a military exercise. A
chimpanzee had been fed on cake when
sick, after his recovery he often feigned
coughing in order to procure dainties.
The cuckoo, as is well known, lays it's
eggs in another birds nest, and, to
make the deception surer, it takes away
one of the other birds eggs. Animals
are conscious of their deceit, as is
shown by the fact that they try to act
secretly and noiselessly. They show
sense of guilt if detected; they take
precautions in advance to avoid dis
covery; in some cases they manifest re-
pentance. Thus bees which steal hest
tate often before and after their ex-
ploits, as if they feared punishment.
A naturalist describes how his mon
key committed theft. While he pre-
tended to sleep, the animal regard
ed him with hesitation, and stopped
every time his master moved or seemed
on the point of kening.-Harper's
Round Table. ..--

In the Agricultural line, Texas leads all
other states in the variety Of its products.
Cotton, corn and the cereals grow and are
raised in every section of the state and in
the central and southern portions sugar
cane and sorghum are profitably cultivated.
On the Gulf Coast two and three crops of
vegetables are raised each year. Berries are
shipped six weeks in advance of the home
crop in the north. Pears, peaches, plums,
oranges, figs, olives and nuts all grow album
dainty and can be marketed from two to
three weeks in advance of the California
crops. Large quantities of rice are now
grown.
Ii the land seeker, the home seeker and
the settler desires to secure farm larger
than the one he occupies, on vastly more
reasonable terms; if he wants more land to
cultivate, greater variety of crops to
harvest, with proportionately increased re-
Enumeration, at a less outlay for cost OF pro-
duction; if he wants an earlier season with
correspondingly higher prices; if he wants
milder winters, all the year pasturage for
his stock, improved health, increased bodily
comforts and wealth and prosperity, he
should go to Texas.

THE RusYRopY.

She sits behind the curtains drawn
Or else behind the shutters;
She watches every coat and hat
And every dress that fiutters:
There's not thing the neighbors do
Unless they seek to poster
BY shutting doors and windows, too
That doesn't interest her.
She knows what kind of meat they buy,
What kind Of servants buy it,
Who calls on who and when and why.
And no one can denyit
She hears the door bells when they ring,
And, though she may be sleeping,
Up from her slumbers she will spring
To do her little peeping.
It's really fun, so folks aver,
To see her daily lodging;
matrimonial spat to her
Is food and drink and lodging.
And should some husband come home late
O'ercome with curious capers,
He might as well proclaim his state
In all the daily papers
She'll tell you what the lovers say
When on the steps they're spooning,
And each piano, far away,
That stands in need of tuning.
About her knowledge of affairs
She often grows elated,
And seems to know most everything
Except just how she's hated.

Der fness Cannot Be Cured

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iniamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rum bling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition

Quantities Of the Yellow Metal Hammered
Into Jaws.

! Quantities Of the Yellow Metal Hammered
Into Jaws.
II cannot form very accurate idea
of the amount of gold used in gold leaf
and gold foil in this country" said a
manufacturer of this material, "but it
is big quantity. Probably dentist
could give you better idea than can.
Gold foil is used almost entirely by
dentists in filling teeth; gold leaf is
used in gliding, book binding and oper-
atoms of that sort, besides the show
that is made of acres and acres of gilded
signs spread before the public in one
way and another.
1.-THE quantity of gold used in gold
leaf is at least twice as great as that
used in foil, in spite of the fact that tho
leaf is so much thinner than the foil.
A skilled man can hammer out 20
ounces of gold foil IN a day, while it will
take him a week to make two ounces
of gold leaf, because it is so much thin
ner. This work has always been done
by hand, probably always will be. A
single thickness of gold foil such as
dentists use-to the ordinary observer
that seems thin enough, in all con-
science-will make an entire book of
gold leaf"
How much gold foil do the dentists
use?' I inquired.
"Well," he replied, 81 should think
that they use on an average about so
cents worth of gold per cavity, as
teeth go. Some are bigger. some are
smaller. This BOTTLE" and he held up
vial such as dentists keep their gold
in. "holds some four dollars worth of
foil, and that would make about eight
filings of the average size"
If the average cavity bored out by
the industrious American dentist with
such extreme discomfort to the suffer-
ing patient contains so cents worth of
gold, how much gold do all the millions
of cavities so constructed employ?
In one way and another, it is probable
that something like 25,0OO,O00 of the
great American peopl care running
around on their usual business with
500, 900 worth of gold slowed away
in 2oO,OOO,OO jagged little caves mined
painfully into their respective teeth
with hooks and buzz saws and jaggers
of one sort and another, worked by foot
lathe and by hand-pounded in with
little triphammers, rubbed off with
sandpaper, and cleaning bright
through the stubble of unshaven lips
and chin or from parted lips of smiling
beauty.
This is a big quantity of gold. 1t
would make between IS and 20 wagon
loads, at ton a. load. 1t would melt
ND into four cubes two feet in width,
depth and height. Or, if nodded into
one gigantic tooth, one of the three
pronged fellows that growl SO when re-
moved from their accustomed places,
that tooth would be ten feet high. A
slenderer front tooth IL or 13 feet high
could be built from the same gold
