Padded His Own Canoe.

The following illustrates the rigor
with which the Greenland boys are
trained up:
1.-THE father of Matthias was a stern
arctic parent and brought up his son In
the way he should go. When the dread
ed southwest wind was driving the
breakers nigh over the rocks at Claus
havn, he would place his son in the
kayak (canoe) and throw him into the
surf. The little fellow, with the double
paddle in his hand, would watch his
opportunity and right himself as he de-
scended, and then triumphantly paddle
through the boiling sea to the little
haven where the canoes land.
People used to say to Matthias PEREZ
You will drown your boy, to which
advice this sage hunter OF seals and
white whales replied, If the boy can
not right kayak in stormy sea, ht
cannot kill a seal, and if he cannot Kill
a seal he cannot live in Greenland IL
which case he might just as well die.

No words are strong enough to condemn
the frauds which are perpetrated under
the name of the "new mesmerism" and
the like. Here we meet with subjects who
spend their lives as hypnotic media and
who trick and deceive their often willing
dupes into belief In the mystical powers
which hypnosis confers upon them. When
one reads of such feats as are denoted I'M
der the name of INSTRUMENTATION OF sense,

II the middle ages, with their alchemy
and astrology, have quite passed away.
The "magic crystal of DIR. Dee sinks into
insigniflcance beside the wonders OF the
advanced school of bypnotism, tho devo-
tees of which arc chiefly resident In the
French capital. The bypnotized subject
is believed to be capable of transferring
her nervous powers to water and to other
nonliving things. When these are touched
or moved, the subject cries out that she Is
affected, because she Is EN- rapport with
the objects thus "sensitized. This Is all
pure fraud. Happily a very complete ex-
posure Of 1t has been afforded us, and byp..

A Valuable Little Book.

A book small enough to about cover
the thumb nail of man would be O
curiosity in any circumstances, but
when it is the smallest volume in the
world it is easy to understand why It Is
very valuable. This mite OF BOOK Is
fiye-eighths of an inch long, seven-six'
teenths Of an inch wide and three
eichths of an inch thick. 1t has goo
pages of closely printed matter. The
letters are SO small that a pin point
would obscure one of them, and mag
nifying glass is necessary to enable one
to read them.
The type of the title page is slightly
smaller than this that you are now
reading. The book weighs about quar-
ter of an ounce and is valued at $780,
which makes 1t worth more than It's
weight in gold. 1t was printed in Italy
in the town of Padua, and on the sal
min press.

IN HER BATHING SUIT.
Times When the Robes Are Appropriate
and When They Are Vulgar.

Times When the Robes Are Appropriate
and When They Are Vulgar.
Nothing in this world is prettier than a
woman in becoming bathing dress as
she plunges in the surf, and perverted
must be that man or woman who sees
aught but beauty therein. But with the
bath over the picture presented is OF an
entirely different character. Then for a
woman to parade herself on the beach in
her dripping wet garments or to spend
hours lying on the beach in unseemly at
titudes certainly docs not raise her In the
estimation of people nor impress men that
she is woman meant to uplift mankind.
A woman's bathing dress was never In
tended to be used as lounging robe on
public beach.
It Is a singular fact how needlessly WON
en- unsex themselves In those things Then
when men In speech or action showa fa-
miliarity with them they are quick to re,
sent it. But woman should not forget
that man never offends woman who be-
HAYES herself as a woman should. WON
an who merits respect never has to com
mand 1t.
Nor does the necessity come to htr to
resent careless speech or action. Men
know the women with whom they car
be careless of speech. They know, too
the women with whom such freedom
of speech is impossible. An insult to
woman Is generally invited. w

DOUBLE STACKS.
A Recent Improvement In Railway Loco
motives Is Proving Satisfactory.

A Recent Improvement In Railway Loco
motives Is Proving Satisfactory.
Double stacks for locomotiy yes have lat
terly again become prominent. Both In
Great Britain and in the United States ex-
periments have been made with them for
the past year or two-on the London and
Northwestern railway, under the super
vision of Mr.. f. w. Webb, the well known
chief mechanical superintendent of that
line, and on the Toledo, Peoria and West
ern and the st. Louis, Chicago and st.
Paul railways-and the results generally
appear to have been favorable to their use.
On the London and Northwestern road
the stack in outward appearance looks like
an ordinary one, flattened at the sides, the
larger axis running In the direction of the
length of the boiler, but there are two
openings for the exhaust, one for each
opening in the stack. The smoke box Is
divided into two separate chambers by a
horizontal plate, and one of the stacks
passes down through this partition into
the bottom chamber so as to bring its in
fluence to bear on the lower tubes, while
the exhaust through the other stack is in.
tended to produce pull through the up
per tubes.
In the American engines there is nc
partition in the smoke box, and the stack
is placed with its larger axis running
crosswise of the boiler, the special object
aimed at in this case being an equal dis
tribution of draft between the center anc
the outer flues instead of between the TOT
and bottom ones. Judged offhand alone
both devices commend themselves favor
ably, the British one perhaps more so thar
the American one because of its partition
feature, which would seem to insure great
CIR certainty of the equalization desired
and the test figures thus far available show
very acceptable percentage of coal saving
over the usual single stack arrangement
/ 1t is not unlikely, therefore, that mor'
