Tho Work VIII Continue.

The divisions OF the Baltimore q
Ohio Railroad west Of the Ohio rivl
are to receive the same sort OF I'M
provements that have been made on
the lines east of the Ohio. Not only
are the grades to be reduced wherever
II is practicable but very much heav-
Ter motive power is to be introduced.
In order to carry the additional weight
the bridges on all the divisions are
being replaced with heavier structures
and the track relaid with heavier steel
rail. It has been demonstrated by &C
tual experiment that these changes
will result in an increase in train load
ing in some places Of more than 90
per cent, the average being about AZ
DER cent. It is the hope Of the receiv-
ers that within the next two years the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will be an
18-foot grade road from Chicago to
Baltimore, with the exception OF that
portion of 1t which passes over the
mountains where helping engines will
have to be used. A great many OF the
estimates for the different portions OF
the work have been made, and those
who have seen the plans state that the
work can be done at a surprisingly
low cost considering the return. 1t
IS understood that the policy of re-
Mobilization adopted by the receivers
two years ago will be continued BY
the new company after the reorgani-
cation

Bribing SpurGeon.

The recent autobiography OF the late
Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon contains al
account of what may be termed an
early business venture, and its infiu-
ence on his character. Sturgeon was
brought up on Watts hymns; but not
altogether willingly. His grandmoth-
er coaxed him with money to learn
them. At first she gave him a penny,
but when she saw how easily 1t was
earned, the old lady reduced the prize
to a halfpenny and then to farthing.
There is no telling how low the
amount per hymn might have fallen,
but Just at this time his grandfather
made discovery which seemed more
desirable to Spurgeon. He discovered
that his house was overrun with rats,
and offered his grandson shilling q
dozen for all he could kill. The &C.
cupation of rat-killing gave him more
money than learning hymns. But,
Mr.. Spurgeon Enthusiastically says,
"I know which employment has been
the more permanently profitable to
me-"

Stain, Of tn. Bob Tailed Horse.

"The action of the War department.
in refusing to accept any horses for
cavalry. artillery, quartermaster or
hospital service whose tails have been
docke6," observed a well-known army
veterinarian, ''is the first time that
bob-tai horses have been officially
passed upon. 1t would be the greatest
kind of cruelty to send bob-tailed
horse into the war; for the reason that
he could not protect himself from flies
and other pests. Besides that he
would whip himself SO hard in his eff
forts to rid himself from such annoy
ances day and night that he would be
SO tired that he could not be relied
upon to do any great amount OF other
work. Dockcd tails have been going
out of fashion steadily for the past
twenty years, but somehow there has
been class of persons with more
money than sense or feeling who have
insisted on buying locked tails, just
because they could do SO, regardless OF
anything else"

NO CRIMINAL SUGGESTION"
Hypnotists Dispose of the Idea That
There 10 Any Such Thing.

Hypnotists Dispose Of tho Idea That
There 10 Any Such Thing.
At a recent meeting Of the British
Medical association, held in Edin-
birg, the subject Of hypnotism was
a principal topic of discussion, ana
many interesting statements wero
made by physicians and other scieh-
tiflc Investigators concerning 1t. That
II has been usefully employed in cur
ing some persons of the morphine
habit and of the drink habit seemed
to be established, but as to its gen.
eral value as a therapeutic agent there
was much difference of opinion, and
no conclusion was reached. An inter-
esting point that was left unsettled
was: Does the hypnotizer infuse pow
er into the mind Of the patient, or
merely evoke it," Instances we're
given Of cases where there was actual
transmission of power from the hyp-
notizer to the hypnotized, but In the
large majority Of cases no such trans
mission occurred. Naturally the
criminal suggestion" feature OF the
subject was most debated, and DR..
Bramwell, an eminent London physi-
clan, stated that Re had not during
his nine years experience with hyp-
notism ever seen an instance where a
patient had received the least sugges-
ton Of an act that would be repugnant
to him in his normal state. To q
question by one Of the members.
whether the hypnotized patient could
be got to sign check for $500 under
the statement that it was only for TO,
DR.. Bramwell replied: Absolutely
and certainly not. A hypnotized sub
ject did not lose one single power
which he had in the normal state; on
the contrary, he gained others" This
is quite interesting and goes far to dis
prove the sensational stories that have
appeared in the newspapers from time
to time concerning hypnotism as de-
Tense In criminal cases. Novelists
have also been active in disseminate
ing the belief that persons can be in
fuenced by hypnotic suggestions to
perform acts they would not perform
when in a normal condition. DR..
Bramwell and other scientific investi-
gators have now quite effectually ex-
ploded this delusion.

It is estimated that there are In all
about six hundred bison living in cap
tivity, most Of them in half-domesti-
Gated state, and in this total are in
cluded the few in geological gardens in
America and Great Britain, and on the
Continent. The Montana herd of about
two hundred and fifty is the largest
and most remarkable, for they are not
restrained by fences, but wander at
will like range cattle. Moreover, they
have been crossed with polled Angus
stock. The young beasts are said to
be magnificent animals, with fur that
is finer and closer than that of the
bison, and they yield NOSE excellent
meat. Nearly all the cross-bred AMI
mails retain much Of the instinct OF
their wild progenitors. In by-gone
times bison rarely succumbed to the
billiards.. They punched together, in
a wedge-shaped mass, the bulls occu-
plying the outside and protecting the
cows and calves. Thus they were en-
abled to survive the widest storm, be-
fore which domestic cattle would be
driven away, and wander miles from
their pastures, to perish for want Oh
food. The next largest herd is that
in the Yellowstone Park. Here the
poacher is the great difficulty the au-
thorities have to contend with, and
this is not surprising when a bison
skin or a good head will fetch hun
dred dollars. Two troops of cavalry
are quartered in the Park to act as
forest rangers. Three years ago there
were still about two hundred in tho
bison herd: but last year they had
dwindled to fifty.

Cooks in large hotels and boarding
houses may think they get up meals
on big scale, says the Portland Tran
script, but when it comes to whole
sale cookery the little village Of Liss,
on the London & Southwestern Rail-
way, England, surpasses them all. At
a barbecue held there not long ago an
OK was boiled-not roasted-whole;
and this is how it was done: A large
hole was dug in the ground and lined
with brick. Inside this tank large
enough to hold the OK was built. The
carcass was then lowered into the tank,
having first been placed in a case
formed by heavy cross-bars, to which
chains were attached. Pulleys from
scaffolding above were used to raise
and lower the OK. Many vegetables,
such as carrots, onions, cabbages ano
potatoes, were boiled with the meat
The boiling required seven hours.

Strange things happen in wartime.

A SIRDAR'S BULLET.
Gen. Kitchcner's Singular Experience In
the Campaign of 1888.

Gen. Kitchener's Singular Experience In
the Campaign of 1888.
The Sirdar of the army in Egypt.
on whom the eyes Of Englishmen are
now turned from every quarter OF the
empire, has had a very extraordinary
experience, having swallowed a bull
let with which he had been wounded,
and which he now preserves as q me-
mento. During the campaign Of '8S
Major Kitchener was hit in the side
of the face by bullet, during .
skirmish near Suakim, and was taken
down the Nile, and thence to tho
Citadel hospital at Cairo, where, de-
spite all the efforts Of the surgeons,
the bullet could not be located, the
X-rays being then unknown. On the
authority Of Sergeant Billion, late OF
the medical staff corps, who is now
in London, and who was then special
ly detailed to look after the injured
officer, the wound was healthy ono,
and very soon healed, and the medi.
cal officers came to the conclusion that
the bullet had worked its way OUT
without being noticed on the passage
down the Nile. Billion one day tempt
ed his patients appetite with a tasty
beef steak, which the major had no
sooner attacked than he put his hand
to his throat exclaiming: "Bilton, II
there's no bone in the steak, I've
swallowed that bullet; felt It go
down" This proved to be the case.

mentary canal without injury to tho

After careful and expert inves-
tigation it has been decided that
it will be necessary to provide
$135, 900 in order to build water
works system for this town with
Newland creek as the source of
supply. No better justification
for this papers attitude of oppo-
sition to the former bond propo-
sition, could be furnished. Had
the former council obtained the
$75,O 600 it asked for, the money
would have been squandered on
prospecting galleries" and other
nonsense and there would have
heen nothing whatever to show
for the expenditure, if, as there is
every reason to suppose, the pres
ent expert estimate of probable
cost is correct.

There are two aspects to the
recent junket of the National
Editorial association. One would
make it appear largely in the
light of an excursion of buns and
free lunchers. Personally, we
should not care to be included in
a crowd, which even iokingly is
called by its hosts, the National
Eating association and of which
it was said as quoted in yesterdays
Republican: when the train
would stop for five minutes to
wait for orders or something like
that they would charge on the
free commissarry car like an
army, and it kept two men busy
handing the stuff. Then they had
fruits and all sorts of things piled
into the car by the people in the
agricultural part of the state, and
they got away with all that, too"
If editorial opinion" is to be in
fuenced by free feeds it is all very
well for this state or any of its in
habitants to get such cheap free
advertising, but it does not reflect
credit on the editorial profession
and it bears out the criticism of
the average small country editor
to which we alluded editorially
few weeks ago. Fortunately there
is a host of exceptions and a num-
Der of gentlemen, in every sense
of the word, who conduct country
newspapers.
