DOCTORS DISCUSS HYPNorIsM.
A difference or Opiaion TO Its Practica

A Difference OF ODiuion n1 TO It1 Practical
vRIuo In Therapeutics.
Physicians of the Academy of Medicine spent
several hours last night discussing the value of
hypnotism as a therapeutical agent In the treat
ment of certain diseases of the mind and nerves.
The discussion was opened by DR.. William p.
Wilkin, who announced that he believed in the
efficacy of hypnotism as a cure in certain cases.
and declared that he had effected cures through
its aid.
Dr. Wilkin deprecated at the outset the man.

hypnotism In connection with crime. 1t was

through hypnotic influence. He also de-
clared that the ability Of any person to
acquire the hypnotic state did not imply
either a weakened will or weakene ed moral
sense. and said that there was no such danger,
as some apprehended, OF a. lessenng of moral
sensibilities by the use OF hypnotic methods in
connection with therapeutics On the contrary,

A Divorce Called OFF.

The courtroom was in tears. Even the
hardened attendants wept.
The jury SMILED ana Gurned their eyes
mp to the ceiling, the judge winked as if
The effort to suppress a sob was a des-
perate one, and the crowd of visitors
boo-hooed without restraint.
The case between Griggs and Griggs
was suddenly called off. And what was
the cause of all these signs and tears of
reconciliation and joy after such a Bit
ter and scandalous feud? All, a little
mite in the fair plaintiffs arms-a tiny
little idol of two lives arrayed in his
very finest of garments and brought
there for the purpose of touching the
hearts of the jury-had beer awarded
into the custody Of the defendant.
There was a hurried consultation,
and before the court realized it the con-
testants had their arms about each other,
announcing to the court and jury, as
we'll as the world, the glad tidings that
rather than to suffer separation from the
little object of their combined adora-
tions they had kissed and made up.
Ring out, ye bells, the glad news to
the haut ton worldl And so, for the
first time in the history of the world,
perhaps, a $40, 900 French poodle has
been found to be good for something

OF course it is not an easy matter
to get employment of this kind, but
if the owner of the range knows the
applicant he will be almost sure to
give him work, as he knows he is
likely to get good service. The pay
is small, about $25 a month and pro-
visions, which the man must cook
himself, except when the sheep are
close to the ranchhouse. But this
does not happen often. 1t is no mat
ter whether the sheep herder is an
old or a new hand, the work expected
of him will be the same under any
circumstances.
Sheep ranges in California are
scattered all over the state, but the
greater number of them can be
found in the foothills of the Sierras
all the way from Siskiyou to Teha-
chapi and ON the other side of the
mountains. The work of looking
after them lasts all year, although
more must be done at one time than
another. San Francisco Call.

Her Tax a Cent.

Some Of the individual taxes in this
city are interesting. The figures show
the existence in Savannah of a number
of good, snug fortunes, but they do not,
as some might suppose. indicate the ex-
istence of any millionaires. If there are
such In Savannah, it does not show up
on the tax digest. There are many whose
taxes on property amount to between 25
and so cents there are several as low as
8 OF 10 cents; there are two or three
who pay the state and county 2 cents.
and there is one who pays only / cent
tax. This taxpayer is a woman who
owns a small piece of land in the north
western part of the country, the value
of which is returned at less than 81.
According to law, If she failed to pay
this 1 cent, the property would have to
be advertised and sold, and the legal
fees for this process would run up to
several times the value Of the property
itself. Savannah News.

the Primeval Man in his rude, uncul-

"Well, what's this?'' queried the
Primeval Man, picking up a rough, OBJ
long object, probably washed up on the
beach by the last storm. Wonder If
it's good to eat?" T%hereupon he broke
two teeth trying to bite into it and flung
it angrily against a rock, where it
cracked open. "Blest il it amt got a
kernel inside it after all!' soliloquized
the Primeval Man, again picking it up.

down the mouthful. The next instant a
culver Of delight shot through his form,

clasped his stomach and a long drawn

SILK.

All moths produce some form Of silk.
The silkworm is liable to over 100
diseases. .
The silk moth emerges from its cocoon
in from 10 to 60 days, according to the
temperature.
Some authorities Oh dyeing say that
ailk receives and holds a dye better than
any other fabric.
In the south Of China silkworms have
been reared and silk manufactured for
over 5000 years.
Roger, king of Italy, is said to have
introduced the silk culture into that
country about 1146.
Between the years 1850 and 1870

Prize Record For Stealing.

An old man in England was sent
to prison for four months for petty
stealing whose record, the judge
who sentenced him said, sis one of
the most awful pieces of reading
that have ever come to my notice"
In 1868 he was sent to Jail for
three years for stealing two tame
rabbits. Hethen got seven years for
stealing 5 shillings and a shawl;
then ter years, with seven years
police supervision, for stealing three
ducks, and finally consecutive SEN
fences for five years each on three
charges of stealing a coat, a pair of
reins and a shovel, with another
seven years police supervision.

for six thefts of objects whose value

Too Eager to Vote.
Mr.. J. K. Fowler, in his "Recol-
lections of Old Country Life" tells
a very curious story about a parlia-
mentary election in England in 1884.
The rival candidates in a certain
borough were Sir John Aubrey and
Lord Verney. The poll lasted IA
lays, and up to the very last day it
was uncertain how the Ashridge
tenantry would vote. Then it be-
came known that they would vote
against Lord Verney. Mr.. Fowler
says:
My readers must understand that
at that time, when the constituency
of any borough or county could not
poll one vote an hour, the poll was
considered closed.
On the last day Lord Verney was
somewhere about 80 votes ahead of
Aubrey, and the roads were so bad
from the Ashridge district that the
voters could not make their way to
the polling place without great diff
| Guilty. At II o'clock in the forenoon
the Verney committee, sitting at the
Bulls Head inn, found that their
man was safe.
No vote had been thrown for
three-quarters of an hour. A quarter
of an hour more, therefore, and the
poll would close, and they had dis
covered that the Ashridge contin-
gent could not arrive before 10
o'clock.
They were congratulating each
other on their certain success, when
a violent supporter of their party
galloped into the town, rushed to
the hastings, recorded his vote for
Verney and hurrying at once to the
committee room announced in a
self satisfied tone that he had just
"given a plumper" for his lordship.
"You havel" exclaimed the chair.
man. "Then you have lost our cleo
ton"
And sure enough he had. The
poll had then to be kept open an
hour longer, the Ashridge tenantry
arrived, and Sir John Aubrey was
elected by "a votes.
