Not at all" The three men rose and

Such things belong to a wonderful
science that all people ought TO know.
Where was the chair standing that
night, as near as you can remember?"
Exactly there" And WILDLY placed
the chair within few feet of the bed.
'"Ah, yes" said the hypnotist II
see where you touched it that night
with your hand Now, do as l direct
you. Leave it exactly where it is, and
tonight when you go to bed place your
shirt on it precisely as you did before.
All these things will aid you to sleep
soundly, and, believe me, that is what
you need above all things just now.

Aslight, almost unnoticeable, look OF
vexation passed over the face of the
hypnotist, but it was gone when he
began to speak.
"Oh, no, only that it will put him in
better humor. He is rather too despon-
dent for his own good. | don't want to
talk to him about any test now. That
will be for the future. Perhaps we

THE Judge of the Venango county court
this state, has handed down a decision that
all property held in fee by Catholic bishop
is subject to taxation, the same as any other
property The decision bears especially upon
the right to tax parochial school property,
but in its terms it applies to church property
for that also is held in fee by the bishop.
The decision is exciting great deal of
interest throughout Pennsylvania and the
case will no doubt be carried at once to sthe
highest court in the state for final iudg-
ment There is at present clause in the
Constitution of the State Of Pennsylvania
that wouI' -"em to exempt parochial schools
from taxation. 1t is as follows The
General Assembly may, by general laws,
exempt from taxation public property used
Tor public purposes, actual places Of religious
worship, places of burial not used or held for
private or corporate profit and institutions of
a purely public charity The decision is
likely to lead TO am early settlement Of the
vexed question of taxing church property, at
least in Pennsylvania. And this is a question
that should be settled definitely in every
state in the Union. There is a growing
tendency among churches Of every denomina-
tion To au OyeHuycstmout in splendid
edidces, not only beyond their needs but
beyond their means, and this would be
checked to their advantage if all church
property were taxed

show improvement in business, opening of
factories long closed, activity in manufactur-

general growth of confidence. This is shown
in the statement Of State Inspector OF
Factories James Campbell, that there are now
100000 more persons at work in Peunsyl-
vania than there were six months ago, show
ing that the improvement began immedi-
ately after the election of Republican

confidence is returning and an era OF
activity beginning.

An Interesting Trip to washington.

To visit Washington at any time to behold
its fine avenues and its grand buildings-is
delight; but to visit it in the early Spring
time, when the soft Southern sun is recalling

warmth, is an exquisite pleasure. Such a
visit is afforded by the three-day tour of the
Pennsylvania Railroad which leaves New
York and Philadelphia April l, under per
sonal escort The tour of the city covers all
the principal points of interest, including
the new Congressional Library, which, with
its grand marble stairways, its magnificent
pillars, its exquisite statues and beautiful
frescocs, has been pronounced the hand

no doubt be in extra session.
