Hypnotizing by Telephone.

The wonders of the telephone never
cease. The latest brought to the at
tention of the New York Electrical
Engineer is the hypnotizing OF a young
boy through the medium of the tele-
phone at Houston, Texas. 1t is need
less to surmise, adds the Engineer,
that the subject was pronounced
.cataleptic; but the facts brought to
light would seem to indicate more
strongly than ever the necessity for a
stringent law against the promiscuous
practice of hypnotizing. The engi-
+ neer does not imagine that many per
sons could be influenced hypnotically
over the telephone, yet believes it
will be just as well to G nd against

The secretary Of the British Royal
Geographical Society (Ravenstein) es-
timates that the fertile lands OF the
globe amount to 2S,000,OOO square
miles, the steppes to 100000 and the
deserts to 100000. Fixing 267 per-
SONS to the square mile for fertile
lands, 10 for steppes and 1 for deserts
as the greatest population that the
earth could properly nourish, ne ar
riyes at the conclusion that when the
number of inhabitants reaches ABOUT
5000. 100000, our planet will be peo-
pled to it's fullest capacity. at present
it contains about one quarter OF tha1
number. If the rate of increase shown
by recent census statistics should be
uniformly maintained, Mr.. RaVensteln
shows that the globe would be fuiiy

Old Fashioned Gingerbread.

To any one in whose breast there
still linger haunting memories OF the
topography of the genuine old fash
ioned New England "card ginger
bread" that fourished during the
early part of this century, there will
come q feeling of thankfulness for this
family recipe, handed down for sew
eral generations from mother to
daughter: Two cupfuls of Porto Rico
molasses, one cupful sugar, one cup
full drippings Tor half butter and half
lard), one cupful cold water, dessert
spoonful ginger, one tablespoonful
soda, and flour to make q rather soft
dough. 1t may be baked as of old,
in sheets about two inches thick,
barred crowsswise with the sharp edge
of q tin, or rolled into cookies. In
either case, it will be found an ad-
mirable concomitant to the morning
cup of coffee; OF an assuager OF that
"aching void" with which the small
boy commonly returns from school,

Remov,np Stains From Silver.

To remove stains from silver, especi-
ally such as are caused by medicine or
by neglect, use sulphuric acid, rub
bing It on with little flannel pad,
then rinsing the articles most carefully
at once. For less ingrained stains,
the pulp of lemon, whose juice has
been used for lemon squash, may be
recommended, as both efficient and
harmless. Indian silver and brass are
always cleaned by natives with lemon
or lines. 1t may be as well to warn
housekeepers in these days, when pretty
serving is such consideration, that,
where one has to reheat food in a sill
yer dish from which it is impossible to
shift the eatable, baking tin should
be half filed with hot water, o doubled
