HypnotIsm at . Flre.

Tic professional hypnotist who has been
In the city for several days had an oppor-
tunity the other night OF demonstrating
his power beyond contradiction and in a
manner that caused physiciaas TO look
amazed and Interested. just about the
close Of a performance at the opera house
last night the FIRE alarm was sounded, and
o lady and gentleman attending had left
their babe at the house which was burn
ing. When the father discovered the house
on fire, he seemed to have lost his reason
and frantically ran to the place and kicked
through a large window light. cutting his
shoe in three or four places and getting an
ugly cash in his foot. lie then made q
dive through tho window, regardless of
glass or Ssh, and ran into the burning
room, from where it took four mon TO carry
him, and assurances by them that his only
babe was safo in a house just across the
street were unheeded by him.
They then carried him by force, which
required the combined strength of four
strong men, to where the child was; but
he evidenced symptoms of commissions and
was placed upon a bed, and it seemed that
scarcely enough men could get to- him to
stead was torn down. A prominent physi-
clan began preparation of a medicineto be
administered. Meanwhile boy had gone
for the hypnotist, who came up, request
ing those holding the gentleman to release
him, remarking, HE is only sleepy"
Then, gently placing. his hands on his
head, he said: You are almost asleep.
You are going to sleep. Now, when l
count three, you will sleep" The man
ceased his struggling and slept. He was
allowed TO remain quiet for only a few
minutes, when the hypnotist began to talk
to him, assuring him that he would soon
awake and would know nothing about
what had happened, which he did at the
operators command and in anazement
asked how he came to be there and what
had soiled his clothes. The babe was
brought to him, and the hypnotist quietly
slipped out of the crowd and departed.

When another day is ending
One more, sadly like them all
And the western tints are blending
Ger the shadows as the fall,
Eyes grown dim like fading embers
As he steps inside the gate
Gleam again, for he remembers
That the baby thinks he's great.
In the busy worlds commotion
Few have pause to call his name.
Yet this wee ones fond devotion
Speaks with praise more sweet than fcme
Cares he long since thought to Danish
Still may lurk, though life grows late.
Foes may smile and friends may vanish,
But the baby thinks he's great.
Time I'm silence, as it passes,
Many hero puts to rout.

Loving still, have learned to doubt.
Yet how well tits worth deserving
Worth another stand 'gainst fate

Snail Farming.

snailfarming forms a pecular branch
of agricultural industry in France and
other countries, and the consumption
of them in Franceis very large, says q
contributor to Chambers's Journal.
Edible snails vary greatly in size; the
large white ones are the real escargot,
bnt this term is usually employed to
designate all edible snails adapted to
table purposes. But in the markets,
besides escargot, there are two other
varieties known as limace and lima
con, the former being Of medium size,
and the latter quite small. Though
the great majority of the edible snails
produced in France are of natural
growth, their artificial culture is car
ried on to.a very considerable extent.
They are propagated from August to
October in ground especially prepared
for the purpose, and fed with cabbage,
clover, etc. During the winter they
are sheltered in houses composed OF
brick or wood, and they are gathered
and marketed from April to June.
In the Tyrol from June to the mid.
die of August the snails are collected
from every available damp place and
taken to the feeding ground near the
owners dwelling. This is o bit OF
garden ground, free from trees and
shrubs, and surrounded on all sides
by running water. In this feeding
ground are little heaps of mountain
pine twigs, mixed loosely with wood
moss, and these twigs when dry are
replaced by fresh ones. Every day
they are fed on cabbage leaves and
grass, and when cold weather sets In
they go under cover-that is, they
collect under the heaps of twigs and
bury themselves up for the winter.
When this has been successfully &C.
complished they are collected, packed
in perforated boxes lined with straw,
and sent off to Paris and other towns.

tents-the residue Of the bankers ready
cash, and the fortune belonging to Flora
Merwyn, which the dead banker had
brought to Ridgeield the day Of the riot.
How gilded seemed the future now
Wealth was his unquestioned. The one
enemy he feared. apprehended by the
landlord. lay a prisoner in the town jail
al Deepford. His spirits revived. He
had but one longing now-to locate
and secure Flora Merwyn.
The old plotful nature asserted itself,
as he drove back the road he had ira
versed the night previous. Yes, he must
find Flora and her whereabouts? Ray
Webster certainly knew. Could he
wrest that information from him

at all events.

Queer Fish This.

There is a new kind of fish on view
in the Aquarium. 1t comes from Ber-
muda and is called the trunk fish,"
Three specimens are on view.
With q little stretch of the magma
ton the fish looks somewhat like a
Saratoga trunk. It has a triangular
cross section, it's belly being fiat and
its sides rising from a sharp angle to a
sharper edge along the back. Along
these edges are queer flaps that re-
semble the ruf1es on a sofa cushion.
The scales are thick and hard. When
viewed head on it looks remarkably
like a pig without legs. Its tail does
not seem to fit at all. The body seems
to cut off abruptly some distance from
where the tail should be and the
caudal appendage stuck on wherever
it would go.-New York Herald.

can mines in 1894 was $20S, 16S, 1853.
Americans are given to Dragging about
our immense mineral resources, and
yet you will notice that the hens paid
for it ali one year and had enough left
to just about pay the interest on all
mortgages!
Mrs. Hen will earn enough this
year to pay the entire State and coun-
ty tax (which in 1890 was S143, 1885,,
COZ, and have enough left for every
cent OF pensions that are paid to old
soldiers.
The average COW weighs 100 times
as much as the average hen, and yet
all the mich cows in the country have
o total value of but $263, 955, 545.
!:Irs. Hen in n year will earn enough
to buy every COW, and put the entire
tobacco crop in her pocket as we'll.
She could pay out of her years earn
ings for all the tea and coffee import
ed in one year and all the petroleum
products, and have enough left to buy
all the tobacco grown in 1896. The
total assessed valuation Of the follow,
ing States fall below the hens yearly

25s, 81, 1875 chickens and &c, 1885, BE
other fowls. In that year the Ameri-
can hens laid 1856, 674, 992 eggs.
There are now $50, 900, 900 chickens,
which will lay this year 10, $50, 900,
900 eggs. These eggs are worth
S165, OOO,O 900, andth poultry meat sold
during the year will bring $125, 900, 900,
which gives 1920, 0OO, 900 as a very low
estimate of the earnings of Mrs.
American Hen for IN year of the
great depression.
The $50, 600, 900 hens are worth
s1O5, 900, 900 of any mans money, but
we will not consider that, but take
simply the earnings of the hen. The
average length of an egg is two and
one-half inches. The Is, $50, 600, 600
eggs will, therefore, make a chain
$40, 218 miles long, while the total
weight of this production of hen fruit
is at least 853, 125 tons.
Does any reader of the World real
ize what this immense production Of
eggs and meat can to the country?

sentative from Texas. He was con-
spiouous to look upon, and he rarely
said anything that was not conspic-
uous. He made friends and he was 80
good-natured to his enemies and so
quick with his wit that the men who
were opposed to him were anxious to
get over their tits. He was pointed
out on the floor of the House as the
first native Congressman from his
State. It was also related that his
district was wider and longer than
many of the States of Europe, reach.
ing over a territory of twenty-seven
counties, and running from the gulf to
Eagle Pass, on the Rio Grande. This
area comprised 1900 square miles.
Ochiltree was practically the king OF
it. He was the only man in the dis
trict when power wa in consideration.
Ochiltree went to the top of capital
favoritism at a single bound. He was
a prince of story-tellers. The beauty
of his humor was that it hit no one 80
hard as it hit'himself. He was a joke
to himself. he rarely appeared upon
the floor of the Forty-eighth Congress
that he did not put the House into a
furore of laughter. The country mem
bers used to declare that he was more
fun than the minstrels. His bills and
appropriations were TESTED through
the jest always bearing a strong argu-
ment why Texas and Texas harbors
should be the especial care of the
country. he called himself the 'Red-
headed Ranger from Texas" and the
title was enoughto get him a hearing
before the business committee. It was
his custom to send in word to an i'm
portant session Of a close -mouthed
and dignifed committee that the
"Red-headed Rangerfrom Texas" had
q few remarks he would like to make
covering a few points in a measure the
august body had in its pi%geon-holes.
The admission of Ochiltree meant a
good laugh-a long series of good
laughs-and it is a part of Legislative
tradition that the Colonel's stories have
done for him what plain, unvarnished
logic failed to dofor others.

Have Fish a Memory?

A distinguished German professor
thinks he has succeeded in proving
that fish have no memory. The seat
of memory in man and other animals
high in the scale of being is supposed
to be certain c~ortical centres Of the
brain. The learned professor haaa
shown that no such things exist in
fish, and he regards that as ccnclu!
sive. Yet the layman may venture to
inquire whether all animals depend
for the same functions upon the same
organs. Perhaps fish are distinguished
professors, for instance, who do moi
think with their heads. -

Garden in an Old Umbrella.

Last summer an ingenious woman
found an ornamental use for an old
umbrella frame. A large nail was
driven in the end of the wooden han
die, so it would press into the ground
with more ease, the frame was opened
and the handle planted in the middle
of a round flower bed. A pretty trail
ing vine that had a white blossom was
placed where each wire rib of the UNI
brella came and twined around. Low
Towering plants were placed around
the remaining portion of the bed to
keep it in good form.-New York
Journal.
