CHARACTER AND HYPNOTiSM.
An Individuals Strength Is Power Against
All Control.

An Individuals Strength Is Power Against
All Control.
There would be little indeed in hvp
notism and the scientific world might
rightly ignore its Importance as q sub.
,iect of investigation if it were proved
to have nothing more in it than the
dominance of one will over another
or the power of so-called suggestion
to control human minds, says Harper's
Bazaar.
But, as with any other subject worth
Investigating, much more is revealed to
the student of hypnotism than that
which he at first sets out to discover,
No sooner, for instance, has he estab-
lished beyond question proofs of the
power of mind over mind and of "sug-
gestion' in control, than he is forced to
recognize how little potency lies in
either when compared to that great
power Of resistance to them which is
generated by an individuals own
strength of character.
No hypnotism in the world, as q great
authority has shown, can make real
~ temperate person, when under hyp-
motto control, simulate or yield to
drunkenness; nor can Il 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 kindness 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 intrinsically is,
rather than that which he appears to
be. 1t makes out, too, even a harder

Big Steel Chiropev

A Philadelphia firm has just given an
illustration of the advances made in
building operations by erecting steel
chimney 2l7 feet high, in the remark
able time Of ten weeks. This steel
chimney has been erected at the Ridge
wood pumping station, East New York,
and can be seen for miles as it rears its
slender stem high above every other OBJ
ject in the vicinity. Workmen are NJ
present engaged in filling the big steel
tube with brick, to prevent the heat of
the great chimney injuring the metal
The chimney's foundation runs 25 feet
into the ground and is built of concrete,
into which are sunk, to q depth of Is
feet, steel rods two inches in diameter
To these steel rods are bolted plates of
cast iron two inches thick, and to these
are fastened the steel plates that form
the chimney. The chimney is % feet
In diameter at the base, tapering at the
top to eight feet, and in high wind has
about eight inches sway. A brick
chimney has sway of from IL to Is

Rules Enforced on Shipboard to Keep the
Sailors In Allowance.

The rules regulating the conduct OF
sailors may appear somewhat drastic,
but it is needless to say that they arc
necessary in order TO insure good gov
eminent on shipboard. A few of rne
more important ones are as follows:
For quarreling, OF provoking to
quarrel, he forfeits days pay.
The same punishment is inflicted on
the man who carries n sheath knife.
If he brings spirits on board, he loses
three days wages.
For every smoke INDUCED in be
low," he forfeits one days wage.
The same il he neglects to put out
lights when ordered.
If THE lookout man falls asleep, his
nap costs him two days pay.
If the cook has not dinner on the
table at the stroke OF the clock, it is
a matter of one days pay.
And for not being shaved, washed
and cleaned spick and span on the
Sabbath he loses days pay; also in
science 10 master or mate means one
days pay lost, and striking anyone on
board double that amount.
While for attempting to smuggle II
few pounds of tea or tobacco or gallon
of rum he loses the wages of whole
month.

ROYALTY OUT HUNTING.
Tame cartridges Killed by tho Prince Of

Tame cartridges Killed by tho Prince of
WaIes-Game for william H.
The prince of Wales is great hunter
Of partridges, the hand raised birds
that have to be dubbed up and stoned to
make them fly from men. The way the
prince bangs over the soft birds is a
caution, says the New York Sun. He
has several guns and couple of men in
blind with him TO load the weapons.
Shooting in this fashion the prince
kills several hundred birds before noon.
Recently he and party of friends sue
ceeded in bagging in single morning
1000 OF the cartridges, and in the aft.
ernoon they got 1000 more.
Like the prince, the German emperor
does nothing in n half way. William
III. has better opportunities than the
prince OF Wales. Instead of shooting
a thousand or so of little birds the en-
peror goes on a grand hunt after big
game, and shoots birds between the
rushes of the deer and like beasts. The
emperor has the game laid out in lines
between which he may walk and in
spect the carcasses, and the lines are
numerous. Three hundred or so of roe
deer, dozens of wild bears and stays,
and hundreds of birds make a respect
able bag.

/ Mentone, France, is situated on the
shore of the Mediterranean, Is miles
northeast of Nice. The climate, says
the Journal of Medicine and Science,

mean is about 81 degrees Fahrenheit.
The vegetation is almost tropical; lem

above each other in successive stages,

town, which has a population of about
5000, rises like an amphitheater ON a
promontory by which it's semicircular
bay is divided. OF late years Mentone,
OIL account of its mild and even climate,
has become the Mecca of invalids, and
especially of consumptives. Forty
years ago the inhabitants of Mentone
and the neighborhood were q healthy.
happy race of splendid physique, to
whom consumption was absolutely I'M
known.
When Mentone became noted as re-
treat for those sick with consumption
the peasants left their farms and their
healthy manner of living to wait on the
wealthy invalids. Thousands of con-
sumptives died there, impregnating the
soil and the water with the germs of
their disease. AS result the earth,
mir and water Of Mentone are infested
with bacilli OF tuberculosis, and the
once robust and healthy peasants have
become consumptives almost to a man
and woman. No more complete or
startling proof of the truth of the
germ theory OF the disease could we'll
be imagined.

see plenty of them as they squall

ical student. When he wants a cat he
finds it very difficult to get one, an?
therefore he is forced to make a very
thorough hunt before bagging hi.
game. On this account the medical
student finds it better to make the resi-
dence districts his hunting grounds,
where he may be able to catch some
very tame feline who has wandered
from it's house and home to sun itself or
the steps.
The stray cats are much harder to
capture, because they are not as tame
and have been taught by sad experience,
to regard all men as their enemies. The
pet tabby is less suspicious and falls a.!
easy prey to the medical student when
she wanders from her own fircsidn.
Hence it is that most of the cats which
are being made martyrs to science arc
well groomed and high bred. Fully d
score of beautiful Angoras and nearly
as many Persian cats have been captured
alive and chloroformed by the students
during a recent week.
There is a student at one of the med
ical colleges who has been so success
full in capturing cats that he has been
making business of it and is LAYING bv

penses through the college. He has q
