FRENCH HYPNOTiSM.
The Doctor Advises Patients Regarding
the Use Of Coffee.

In Paris one Of the many interesting
sights is the clinique Of DR.. Berillon, on
the Rue St-Andre-des-Arts, where hypno.
tis1n is very largely employed in the cure
of various diseases. Some OF the cures
smack of the miraculous, and the ordi-
nary observer can comprehend nothing
Of the why and wherefore.
If is noticeable, however, that the doc
tor instructs his patients to "leave of
coffee entirely, 'fand to some who have
had experience with the drug, that may
account in part at least for the cures.
It ia not generally understood, by non
professional people, how many curious
disorders have their. rise in coffee drink
ing Kidney troubles, constipation, heart
disturbances. pains that are liable to at
tack anysspart, and long hst-ot poaliy

is something of the pathological reason;
Certain alkaloids in coffee are directly

NEAR THE ROCK S.

The bark Ce1ina had a narrow escape
the other day. She was being towed to
this port by a Boston towboat. The
weather was thick and when near Rich
nond's island the captain of the tug dis
covered that he was almost among the
breakers. He at once headed the towboat
of shore. The strain,of the towing cable
on the chocks at the bow sof the bark
when the tug changed her course was so
great that they and part of the rail were
torn away. For minute or two there
was great danger that the line would part
leaving the bark helpless and near the
rocks. Fortunately the cable was equal
to the task and the bow of the vessel
swung off and she was hauled out of
danger. The damage to the Celina
amounted to about $25.

By 1-10-29 Auxiliary.

The annual entertainment OFF, the
1-10-s9th Auxiliary, assisted by the
Ladies' Aid, S. Of ", was given last
evening at the Auditorium under most
happy auspices and must have fully real
lied the wishes of all for its pronounced
success.
The American Cadet orchestra in the
presence of over seven hundred people
opened the programme to the inspiring
strains Of Ell Captain. after which came
readings by Miss Christabel Dyer ana
Miss Amy Richards, songs by Honey
johnson and Master Fred Sears and HE
and drum music by the Maine state
corps, all of which won hearty applause.
Especially worthy of note was the
charming spectacle presented by Master
Shepley Beal, who personated Cupid,
with wings and the conventional bow, as
he marched across the hall having on his
train twenty -four victims, young and
pretty girls carefully graded in height
and oostumed in light fancy dresses.
Then followed Mother Goose drill in
which Miss E. j. Andrews in regulation
dress introduced sixteen girls ranging in
ages from sixteen to eighteen, dressed in
white who served to illustrate characters
we'll known to students of nursery rhyme.
The defeat of Cupid with his band of
fairies, who are in the end rescued from
his wiles by the interposition of the Fairy
Queen, closed the entertainment. Miss
Ida McGrath personated the Queen,
Master Beal again appeared as Cupid
while the "Band of Fairies was made
up OF bevy of little girls.
At $50 O'Clock $50 couples engaged in
the grand march which was led by Ser
geant Frank r. Lang, who was accom-
panied by Mrs. J. W. Higgins. AS the
couples moved in graceful evolutions
about the spacious hall, the spectacle

NOTES.
CERTAIN TENDENCIES OF MODERN
LITERATURE.

Yesterday afternoon an interested and
attractive audience assembled in the Ad-
vent church to listen to the first of Mr..
John A, Bellows lecture on Certain
Tendencies in Modern Literature. the
special topic for the afternoon being "The
Poetical Revolution"
A round of applause greeted the speaker,
as he rose to begin his lecture, for Mr..
Bellows consented to give the talks at the
earnest request of his many friends in
Portland, who were anxious to hear him
once more before his removal to Boston.
AS one of his ministers said to Louis
XVI. after the storming of the Bastile,
"this is not revolt sir, but revolu-
tion," so said Mr.. Bellows, the work be-
gan by Wordsworth, who defined poetry
as ''emotion recollected in tranquili-
ty," and who first began to use prosaio,
homely 2 as subjects for poetry,
has been followed by others, who, have
brought revolution in the revolt begun
by him. The same revolution has been go
ing-on in music and art, as well as litera-
ture, this general tendency towards liter
alism and realism. In these verses the
question sometimes arises how much of
it is poetry?
Mr.. Bellows spoke of cne influence of
the -Raphaelite school, with Dante,
Gabriel, Rosse5ti as the chief exponent,
which in art endeavored to reproduce.
something of the simplicity of the early
Italian artists, and the influence of their
first rincipal-accuracy-- its effect
in literature as we'll. One of Rossetti 4
poems was read, in which all the details
of realistic picture were given, but
which touched with "emotion recollected
in tranquility" made it poetry. This is
the key note Of the resolution, and where
that happens, the work is great and
powerful Mr.. Bellows read many ex.
amples from different writer's of the
"homelY ballad" like James Whitcomt
Reilly, Eugene Field, Will Carlton,s and
gave an interesting analysis of Emily
Dickinson, and Walt Whitman, in both
of whom sometimes, the old fashioned
poetic qualities of rythm and cadence
were SOuetlIu6b !UTRUtUeu, INV w hS "oiN
strong in thought and expression.
Walt Whitman has some magnificent
outbursts," and is powerful in his wise
optimism, and in his admiration for the
human soul in all mankind, but neither
do he. nor Emily Dickinson always keel
their engagement with poetry.
From this Mr.. Bellows spoke OF th'
Modern Readers Bible, and it's ''pros'
poetry, of the prose poetry of De Quinc!
and Dickins, and showed too, how
| Tennyson, poet of form, as he was, helped
to bring about this poetic revolution, a
had Beethoven in music prepared the wa.
for Wagner's music dramas.
In closing Mr.. Bellows read som'
| striking selections from Rudyar'
Kipling, the greatest of this modern
4 school, and whom. more than the other
had made better poetry in writing o
those prosaic subjects. For the spirit O
poetry in the future said the speaker a;
there is warmer blood than in the oiassi
ages, it is hoped there may be more OF re
poses, something less hard and clashing
more accents from the "eternal heights

After some discussion the meeting vobeu
to levy upon all chapters an assessment
of ten cents for every member, to help oe'
fray the expenses of the annual meeting.
Reports of diocesan secretaries came
next in order. Secretary Gaylord OIL

ters in that diocese, with total member
ship of 500.

The secretary of Rhode Island diocese
reported good results in hospital Work.
The Connections secretary reported 30

about 800, a small increase from one year
ago.
The annual report of the treasurer
showed total receipts of the year, S9o.o5;
expenses SS6.s2.
total attendance of 1856 delegates from 5o
chapters, a larger attendance than usual
st the annual meeting.
These officers were elected:
Chaplain-Rev. E. L. Atkinson, Bos-
ton.
Secretary-William G. Newell, Boston.
Treasurer-Charles FL. Smith, ProVl-
dence.
The question of where to hold the next
annual meeting came next in order. In
vitations from Springfield and Boston
| were received. An attempt to leave the
matter to the executive committee was
defeated, and the meeting finally voted to
accept the invitation of Springfield.
1t was decided to begin the next annual
meeting on Friday evening, the BUSH
ness of the convention to be transacted on
Saturday and the meetings to continue
into Sunday.
At the close of the business meeting it
had been intended to have conference
on "Oraanized Work in Cities" but it
was given up and the matter Of Boys
Work" was brought up. Mr.. Fayette G.
Dayton Of Boston being chairman. Mr..
W. III. Owen, Jr., of New Sharon spoke
strongly in favor of treating boys as
young men. He thought the practice was
too common of ignoring them. They
should be given responsible church work
that would enable them to feel their
value, and not be treated merely as blow
ers of church organs. We are too apt to
overlook the fact that we were hoys once
ourselves and by little thought we will
recall how little encouragement went
far to make us self reliant and manly.
The subject was discussed by several
others in like vein.
Brotherhood prayer followed and the
convention Of 1898 was over. A delicious
lunch was served in the parish house and
the delegates left for homo on the after

ROBBED 4 POSTOFFICE
Masked Men Made a Good
Haul at Arago
ABOUT $500 WAS SECURED
Compelled the Pessmaster to Open tho
6afe-sheriA and Posse op
Their Tracks.

Marshfield. Or, Nov. 9.-Last night
at about 8 o'clock two masked robbers
entered the postofice at Araao. The
office is In the residence of w. H.
Schroeder, the postmaster. Mr.. Schroe-
der was in the upper part Of the house
when the men entered, but a man,
Peter Grow. was In the Office. The
robbers ordered him outside. They
tied his feet and hands, and fastened
him securely to milk cart, in such .
manner that his face was down, and he
was unable to turn. They then re-
turned to the house and forced Mr..
Schroeder to come down stairs into the
office, and at the pointssof revolvers
compelled him to open the safe. They
helped themselves to its contents.
There was about $1,000 taken, 81, 800
belonging to the Arago creamery and
$500 being postal funds. Postmaster
Schroeder is a cripple, and was unable
to offer resistance. Sheriff Gage and a
posse found the tracks of the robbers
early this morning and followed them
until dark. The country is we'll guard
ed tonight, and the sheriff thinks they
cannot possibly escape.
