The sultan seems to have a curious
mingled liking for and a dread of cleo
tricity. Mr.. Burgin tells that several
years ago he caused to be erected in
the grounds of Yildiz Kiosk a small
theater lighted by i~ncandescent lamps.
One day he saw the workmen trench
ing the walls in order to bury the
wires leading from the engine-room to
the theater, and stopped the work, in
sisting that the wires should be placed
in sight on poles, as he feared that
otherwise they might be used to pro-
duce an explosion. He had also an
electric boat on a small lake, an Eng
lish dog-cart driven by electricity, and
a tiny electric tram-car upholstered in
blue satin and gold, which runs in a
circle. 1t is said that he has never
yet ventured inside any of these We
hicles, and also that he has forbidden
the use of telephones in Constantinople
lest murderous conspiracies should be
devised over the wires-Cassell's Mag
aZine.

NEW VIEW OF HALL BEDROOM.
How 1t Appears in the Eyes of An Old
Soldier.

" - hppCaTS HI IL GycS VI M oiu
Soldier.
"The hall bedroom has always
seemed to me rather a spacious and
comfortable apartment than other
wise," said an old soldier. This feeling
is due, I suppose, in some degree, to
more or less experience of still smaller
quarters. Whoever has slept under a
shelter tent, for instance, where he has
had to lie on edge to get any shelter at
all, will easily realize that the hall
bedroom may seem a fine room, indeed.
And as compared with even the A
tent, sever feet square at the base and
rising, w~edge-shaped, seven feet to the
ridge pole, in which four men COM
monty slept, and sometimes five, the
hall bedroom has greatly the advan-
tage. At the same time it is undoubt-
eddy better to sleep in an A tent than
outdoors, though one does get there a
very much bigger room. But it is a
room that has it's drawbacks. 1t is
sure, for n thing, to be damp and
uncomfortable in case of rain, and in
reality you would prefer a smaller
room that was less leaky. No. The
hall bedroom does not seem to me to
be the worst thing in the world; and
when you come to add that by the very
nature of things the dweller in it has
no guard duty to do, and no picket
duty, and nc fighting: that in it he
lives as it were in a state Of perpetual
arbitration, why, you can readily see
how it would be quite possible for it
to appear acceptable in some eyes,"

Cecile Long, l was fully prepared 10 De

so well. We were sitting at tea to-

that little ring with the pale green
stone that Cecile wears on the thlrd
finger of her right hand? No, 1t is not
a crysolite, 1t is a e%uclase, a stone
found in the Ural mountains. 1t is
rather a rare stone, l believe, and the
ring was given to her by the young
Polish artist who used to be hanging
about her, it seems, and-and he had
no business to give her a ring, and she
ought not to yea it. Don't you agree

conciliatory, 1 murmured something
soothing about "a gift from a departed
friend" However, Frank would not
be put off in his manner and he made
me promise to take an early oppor-
tunity of speaking to Cecile on the sub
ject, and pointing out to her the i'm
propriety OF wearing young Anatof' s
gift.
You must try and prevail upon her
to throw it away, or to give to to you
or to do anything she likes with it, but
do not let me see it on her finger, She

BITS ABOUT

1t has been stated as a fact that
mothers can do their children great
good by talking to them when they ara
asleep. The subjective mind never
sleeps and there is no resistance to the
suggestions given. Mother can stimu-
late a child's energies in any direction
much more effectually while the child
sleeps than she car by talking to the
child in its waking hours. For ex-
ample, n woman knew a little girl
who was very respondent over her
lessons, never pass examination and
thought she had no talent for study.
She suggested to the child who slept
that there was no reason why she
should not intelligently grasp the prin-
ciples of mathematics and apply them
autOsuggestion that she had no talent.
This was repeated for several nights
and in a month the child was heard to
say that arithmetic was not so hard
after all-she had gained so per cent
in the study in school.
Scientists claim that the Svengali-
hypnotism part of Du Maurier's "Tril-
by" is most arrant nonsense, too ridicu-
lous to be considered seriously. They
state it would be impossible to keep a
person in a hypnotic trance for years
at a time, the way Svengali did Trilby.
The case of a husband suing for a
divorce after three months married
life on the plea that he was hypnotized
when he married her will shortly be
heard in the Dakota courts. He mar
ried his deceased cousins widow-or,
according to him, she married him. The
plea opens up a line of magnificent pos
sibilities for gentlemen who wish to
break away from the marriage bond.
The Hypnotic Magazine in a caustic
editorial presents the speech" that
the mans lawyer will undoubtedly
make:
mot for one moment would l seek to
blacken the reputation of the defend
ant. Such an attempt is as foreign to
the line of argument which l shall
present to this court as it is r%epugnant
to the high principle which is an in
herent part of the character of
my client, the complainant in
this case. The matter rests upon
another footing, and when l say
that this unfortunate gentleman was
but a tool in the hands of an artful
woman; a sorceress, gifted with more
than human power, who worked her
devilish arts, and cast her spell upon
him to his undoing, not in the dark
ness, but in the full glare of the mid
day sun, the court will see with me
that we are face to face with a psyche
logical difficulty of stupendous import.
Upon the result of this trial will de-
pend the happiness or misery, the veal
or woe, of thousands yet unborn. Shall
we crush this tyrant force now, and
at once; shall We pluck it from our
hearts and from our midst, where ii
I stalks rampant; or shall we weakly
procrastinate and temporize?"
