EXCHANGE OF WAR PRISONERS.
Rules That Now Prevail In Regard
TO This Matter

From the Baltimore American
The prompt exchange of Constructor

attracted attention to the progress Of civ
ilization, even among the Spaniards In
early times soldiers, when taken in battle
were killed, and we find many instances
in the Bible where the defeated army was
put to the sword. Even now prisoners
could be put to death in case of absolute
necessity. For example, If prisoners i'm
peded the movements of any army neces-
sary to its preservation and their govern
ment or commanders refused to recognize
parole, in which event the released pris-
oners could be used against their captors.
Later in history We find that captives We're
made slaves and still later the custom of
holding prisoners for ransom came in
vogue. During the seventeenth century
the exchanges of prisoners became fire.

obligatory, If the captors prefer retaining
them and leaving their own comrades in
the enemy's hands. In the eighteenth CEN
fury exchanges of prisoners became Gus
tomary; but the prisoners while held by
their captors had to work for their main

army, of Oct. p, 1906, at Elchingen Aus

A Little Woman Who Can Throw "a
Rock.

Tallulah Falls, Ga, Aug. H.-One Of the
proudest little women in North Georgia
is Nellie Beatty, aged 6, of Savannah, who
with her mother, is spending the summer
at Rock Bottom, near here While out
walking with some 'grown-ups" the
other day she saw her first snake. The
snake was stretched out on a log in the
brook, fast asleep. The little maid want
ed to see him ''wiggle," and threw rock
to wake him up; but ne never walked. The
first throw broke his back, and he drop
ped intos the water dead. After min
utes cry for fear she had hurt the snake,
the little girl declared the rock had hit
precisely where she intended it should
Thus it appears that Georgia has pro-
duced a new prodigy-one of the women
kind who can throw a rock straight.

ALL ABOUT HKPNOTISM.
Its Last Secret Explained by Mr.. La
bOuchere.

From London Truth.
It is strange what a mass of nonsense is
talked about hypnousm even by able law
yers and by able scientists, judging by
the hypnotic will case. The explanation
is simplicity itself. One part of the brain
as the seat of the Will another carries out
the orders of the will. The first Is the
master, the latter is the masters clerk
After having done something often by or
der of the master, the clerk does il on his
own responsibility. Thus, more than half
that a person does is performed automati-
cauy by the clerk If any one raises the
ball of the eye and stares upward at some
point placed above the eye level for a
certain time, the nerve that connects the
eye with the win portion Of the brain
presses against a bone, and becoming
numbed, the connection between the mas
Ter and the clerk Is cut off. The viii
ceases to control. If the hypnotizer makes
a suggestion 70 a person in this condition.
The clerk hears the suggestion, and pro.
seeds 10 fulfill IL 10 the best OF his nbil-
ity, and without the controlling influence
OF the will. Should a person be frequent
ly hypnotizcd, the clerk more readily oboys
these external suggestions. But no
amount OF hypnotizarion will create CON
dltion under which the subject is perma-
nsntly under the control 81 The hypnotiz-
sr. Re must b. present. and bis sugges-
lions must reach th1 clerk either through

1t was sight surprising fair, the
visitors to Winslow looked upon the
morning of July 4th. Even our own
citizens could scarcely recognize our
thrifty city in her holiday attire. Or
every side were evidenced the spirit and
energy Of our progressive people, and
right royalty do they deserve the praise
which on every hand has been accorded
them.
On Memorial Day, with fitting cere-
mony, there was flung to the breeze one
of the largest and most expensive flags
that has been raised in the territory
And in the days intervening before the
Fourth, large octagonal band stand
was built around it. This was hand
somely decorated with flags, while bunt-
ing was artistically festooned about the
space reserved for the speakers. Huge
cottonwood trees had been brought
from the neighboring bottoms, and
these were set cut close to the side
walks on Front street, thus afording
welcome shade to pedestrians. Most of
the business houses were appropriately
decorated, and many of the private
dwellings along the line of march were
equally adorned.
At nine a. N. the procession formed
at the appointed place, and be it said
to the credit of those having the affair
in charge, no time was consumed indie
delay
First came the Needles Band of six
teen pieces, followed by citizens on foot,
the speakers Of the day in an open car
riage. Then followed several floats, one
bearing the Goddess Of Liberty, sur
rounded by handsome young ladies in
