"Have you found that there are any
after effects OF hypnotism?"
'No, except beneficial ones"
"What is your theory about hyp-
notism?"
We'll, I don't agree with a number
of explanations, so called, which have
been advanced The physicians of
the German school ascribe all the
phenomena to the influence of 'sugges-
tion,' but they don't explain what
causes the condition in which sub
ject becomes susceptible to this sug.
gestion. The physicians of the
French school say that all hypnotic sub
iects are in diseased condition and
that the hypnotic state is simply
form of hysterical seizure. I Iconsider
this an error / have hypnotized sub
iects whom J. consider normal and
healthy. Hammond, Beard, and
others who have been compelled to
acknowledge the commences of the
phenomena, explain them as resulting
from "a polarization of the attention.
whatever they may mean by that.
81 regard the hypnotic power rs a
concentration Of nerve force. Every
time we have thought, an emotion,
n sensation, there is an explosion of
nerve cells in us. 1t is this explosion
which produces nerve force. 1t is
this force, i'll peculiar degree, which
constitutes personal magnetism. The
orator who sways his hearers to alter
nate tears and laughter possesses it
in an unusual degree. This nerve
force has particular character in diff
ferent individuals. Like different
chemical elements, these 'auras'
sometimes meet and mingle, some
times meet and repel each other.
When they are agreeable to each
other there is friendship. When this
is carried to higher degree we have
love. By a concentration of will
power we can direct the current of
nerve force and magnetism and make
it influence another person. By re-
peating this effort at concentration
and direction we gain more and more
perfect control over the current and it
becomes constantly stronger. That
seems TO me to be the secret of the
hypnotic power"

DR.. Edward Everett Hale is having
rather unpleasant time of it these
days owing to ridiculous report sent
ont from Boston to the effect that he
advocated the study of the Indian
language in the schools. The doctor
writes that all he asked of the public
school was that New England boys
should "know the meaning of the
words Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
Shawmut, Winnisimet and other words
which come into their local life as one
ought to know why the Tuileries were
80 called if he lived in Paris The
doctor also denies that he repeated The
Lords prayer in Indian. He used
the two first words of the prayer to il
lustrate the formation of Indian words,
and adds: In fast, the two first
words of it are all that [ know, ex.
cept the amen at the end" By the
time DR.. Hale's little talk had filtered
through several sources until it
reached the newspapers it had become
a lecture in which the most extraordi.
nary position was taken, which sur.
prised his admirers everywhere.

The following beautiful composition
is from the pen of Jean G. Wiley, in
the National Stockman and Farmer:
"What cherished spot in the
memory of vast multitudes is the old
farm! Men who have climbed to the
topmest round of the great ladder of
fame; men who have achieved by in
dustry, self-reliance and perseverance,
success in life; many of these look
backward DER the long years to the
happy days of childhood spent on the
old farm.
ga memory fingers DER this
cherished spot, the loving face of a
good mother, the cheerful countenance
of a kind father, the bright faces of
brothers and sisters gathered round
the old fireside, soften the heart and
bring tears to the eyes of the strong
est men.
"a sweet influence Of such home
is like a flower that never dies, but
sheds its sweet perfume all through
life. and reblossoms anew in eternity.
1T is said that in order to be sue
cessful in any pursuit one must first
learn to overcome difficulties. 1t was
on the farm where most statesmen en-
countered and overcame difficulties
A boy on the old farm has an oppor-
tunity TO learn this important lesson
without meeting many Of the tempta-
tions incident to the life of a city boy. AS
we live in an age of progress, the farm
OF to-day bears but little resemblance
to the farm of fifty years ago. 1t now
requires an educated man to make II
prosperous farmer.
Zone who has spent his happy
childhood on the old farm, received
an education and went abroad, plunged
into cares and hustle of city life, in
after years revisits the old farm. All
the old familiar spots, as the meadow,
orchard and old-fashioned well, with
its moss-c covered bucket recall scenes
which seemed long since forgotten
Pictured on memory's wall are the
faces of loved ones, those Of father,
mother, brother, sister and dearest
friend, as sthey were i'll boyhood's
days They are all gone. Some are
dead, Others are toiling or roaming in
different parts of the world; and as he
sits gaud meditates upon the past, he
longs once more to be that free-from
care, light hearted boy, roaming over
the meadows and woodlands of the old
farm, that he once was. He now
realizes, more fully than ever, how
vain are the hopes of life.
1.-The old farm house is filled with
strangers, and he, feeling wiser and
better by his visit to the old farm,
returns TO the tolls and cares of city
life."

NIiIIet HnY Good For Horses.

Tam surprised to learn of Professor
Hinebaugh's adverse experience with
millet as horse feed noted in American
Agriculturist of November 10, as mine
is just the opposite. [ fed three
horses millet from October, 1896, till
about the last of June, 1897, together

had my horses do better. In fact
they rather lost flesh after feeding
timothy hay with the same amount of

do so as long as the millet lasts, which
will be all winter ut ledst. ] have

I have. He raises more aud more of
it every year and feeds it to all kinds
of stock. l have cut the millet quite

Abandonment of Sunday.

During the "Reign of Terror, 1898,
the infamous decree to abandon the
Christian religion in France and to
substitute for it the worship of Liber-
ty, Equality and Reason was passed.
Churches were quickly despoiled Of
their ornaments, and civic feasts sub.
stituted for religious festivals. The
convention also enacted that time, in.
stead of being reckoned from the
birth .of Christ, should be reckoned
from the birth OF the French republic;
and that the Christian Sabbath might
not be observed, day of rest being
granted only at the close of every ten
days. No other instance is known
where the observance of one day in
seven as day OF rest has been aban.
doned since the command for its regu.
lar observance was given to Moses on
Mt. Sinai. 1t is a singular coincidence
that, by keeping this command, there
is at present perpetual Sabbath,
since the Greeks observe Monday; the
Persians, Tuesday; the Assyrians,
Wednesday; the Egyptians, Thursday;
the Turks, Friday; the Jews, Satun
day. and the Christians. Sunday.

cording to Mr.. Lacy's statement the

had averaged between fifty and sew

Montana, which are fed by the melt
ing SHOWS that exist there the entire
year. This lake lies up against Mount

flow Of four million gallons down a
slope of 5000 feet into the city.
A steel pipe line will carry this
water down six miles to Anaconda,
where another immense reservoir will
be built to receive it. This reservoir
will be 800 feet higher than the bust
ness centre of the city and quarter
of a mile long. Its short line will be
irregular, lying against the hills, and
it vii! be beautiful sheet of water.
As further means of adding to the
beauty of the spot, the supply main
from Lake Hearst will terminate in
fountain in the centre of the reservoir.
Only portion of the enormous pres

water over three inches in diameter
will be thrown 220 feet vertically in

consisting of rows of Jets rising to

The fountain, when completed, will
