Lamb, left St. Johns early Sunday morning last, to explore the great cave at Las Tuces. From the extent of camp and garrison equipment taken along one might have supposed they intended to join Nansen the Arctic explorer. They returned on Monday about midday, having camped the night before on the Rio Colorado, at the foot of the mountain in which is located the cave, they were all delighted with the outing, and especially with their explorations down into the bow els of the earth. They are now anticl- patine another junket, this time to the wonderful salt lake and the Zuni Indl- an villages.

The Secret of Good Crops.

The modern farmer is not content to use the antiquated tools and methods of his father. In this age of keen com petition, the farmer who wishes to pros- per, needs and gets the most improved farming implements, ,and by reading the best agricultural literature, he keeps in touch with the spirit of progress that pervades our farming communities. He is particular, also, in regard to the kind of seed he plants and the manner of planting it. The seeds must be of the highest fertility and grown from the highest cultivated and most profitable varieties of stock. The great seed firm oE D, M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich., fully appreciate this fact, as is attested by their progressive business methods and the quality of the seed which they supply farmers and gardeners through the dealers all over the country. The reliability and fertility of their seeds are proverbiaI and the largest seed busi- ness in the world has been created by their sale. In evidence of this firms knowledge of the wants and require ments of planters, large and small, is Ferry's Seed Annual for 1896. This book IS of the greatest value to farmers and gardeners-averitabl encyclopedia of planting and farming knowledge. It contains more useful and practical in- formation than many text books that are sold for dollar or more, yet it wlIi be mailed free 10 any one sending his name and address on postal card to the firm.

on the march it is almost impossible
to thaw it. Other explorers complain
OF the effects OF the wind md sun. 1t

cold can be borne without discomfort
so long rs the air is still. But the
moment it gets into motion it strikes

and rose very high. The height was
registered by a machine on the ship.
The inventor docs not count distance

said were Honolulu lights. We
turned east, and at dusk Saturday

When a somnambulist is put into the

found that the speaker is that same
personality which spoke and acted dur
ing the time Of ordinary somnambul-
ism, showing that the pcfsonaiitywhich
acts during ordinary somnambulism
and the personality brought into &c

time To consider here; but, whctcve,
this subliminal self may be, we have in
hypnui:sin the means OF experimental
~ reaching and influencing it, ard this
is where the great power OF suggestion
appears and IS utilized.
Suppose, then, the physician has the
patient in the deep hypnotic sleep; 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 Jour

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
Mt the top OF the page. He has no
thought but hat he is doing it oil 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

had suggested rs follows: "When you
awake you will no longer desire to
smoke. On the contrary, the very
thought Of it will be disagrceable to
