THE COMING SPANISH ELECTIONS

On April 25th the nsw Spanish
cortes is to meet. so that for nearly two
months more government by decree"
will continue, trusting to The legaliza-
ton of the acts decreed when the
cortes meets. The elections for the
Chamber of Deputies have been or
dered for Sunday, March 27th-it being
the custom in Latin nations TO hold
cause the voters can then take time
for the voting among their other holt
day amusements-and the elections
for Senators will be held Sunday, April
10th.
The elections will take place under
the provisions of the constitution Of
1876 as amended in 1890 The popular
branch of the national legislature is
composed at present of 432 members.
elected by popular suffrage, the right
of voting for representatives being
given by the amendment of 1890 to all
male Spaniards twenty-five years of
age, who enjoy full civil rights and
have been citizens of q municipality
for at least two years. The senators
are of three classes The full number
is a little less than $50. OF these $50
are elected, one half retiring every
five years, providing the cortes lives
out its five years constitutional period.
The other two classes are made up OF
life senators and nominees of the
crown, the constitution providing that
the aggregate of these two classes must
not exceed one half the full member
ship Of the senate. The elective sena-
tors are chosen by the votes of COM
munes. churches, universities and the
largest taxpayers.
1t will be contrary to Spanish pre-
cedents if the elections fail to return
a strong majority for the government
the local officials are expected to
look to that 1t would not be surpris-
ing if the election campaign should

HYPNOTIC SUGGESTION.

1t is an interesting fact that hyp-
motto suggestion is rapidly becoming
an efficacious measure in medical treat
ment Upon this subject the Cleve-
land Journal of Medicine recently had
a very interesting contribution by Dr.
J. G. Gehring. He says that the APP
plcation of suggestion to the treatment
of disease has passed its probationary
stage and has come to be recognized
by the advanced medical minds Of the
world as a powerful factor in the ply
sician's equipment DR.. Gehring holds
that its sphere is limited but neverthe-
less is we'll defined within its limits
and that when hypnotism is rescued
from the hands OF quacks and charla-
tans it will have legitimate place
in the armamentarium of the skilled
physician.
There is no doubt whatever that the
mind has great influence upon the

How to stop Coughing,

The following is from doctor con-
nected with an institution where there
are many children: There is nothing
more irritable to a cough than cough.
For some time l had been so fully as
sured of this that determined, for one
minute at least to lessen the num-
Der of coughs heard in a certain ward
in hospital of the institution. By
the promise of rewards and punish
ments, succeeded in inducing them to
simply hold their breath when tempted
to cough, and in little while I was
myself surprised to see how some of the
children entirely recovered from the
disease. Constant coughing is precise
ly like scratching wound on the out
side of the body. So long as it is done
the wound will not heal Let person
when tempted to cough draw a long
breath and hold it until it warns and
soothes every air cell, and some benefit
will soon be received from this pro-
cess. The nitrogen which is thus re-
fined acts as an anodyne to the mucous
membrane, allaying the desire to
cough, and giving the throat and lungs
chance to heal At the same time. a
suitable medicine will aid Nature in
her effort to recuperate."

famous foreign brands which have not
yet been manufactured in this land are
the Gorgonzola, of Italy, and the Cam

was found to contain Russian bank
notes to the value of three thousand
rubles, together with a declaration by
one Chevalier Irionun Prokheroff, to
the effect that the money contained in
the handkerchief was the proceeds of
his gambling transactions, and was
designed to build church. The slip
bore date in the year 1910. 1t is
supposed therefore that the owner died

THEY ALL FLED.
A HOLSTERS Impression of the Au-
rora BoreaIis,


A Hoosier's Impression of the Au-
rora BOreaIts,
A veteran travelling man was sitting
in the lobby of one of the Louisville
(Ky.) hotels listening to the CONVERSE
ton about the recent storm. Numer-
Gus stories had been told of how per-
sons had been almost frightened out
of their wits by the roaring winds
that shook the buildings to their foun-
dations.
Like all good story tellers, who in
variably wait until every one else in
the crowd has drained himself ofyarns,
authentic and otherwise, the old tray
eler waited in patience until ut was
up to him." He removed cigar from
his lips, tipped the ashes with his lit
tie finger, placed the heels of his shoes
upon the table, and tipped his chair
back to an angle of forty-five degrees.
Finally the old man was settled to his
satisfaction, and, giving a low chuckle,
said:
"Your stories remind me of little
incident that I happened to witness a
few years ago in one of the inland
counties in Indiana. 1t was one winter
evening in little town in the back
woods, about forty miles from a rail-
road. The people living in the vicini-
ty were, for the most part, uneducated,
and, of course, did not understand the
phenomena of the elements. Shortly
after shutdown, of the day ON which I
am speaking, brilliant light appeared
in the northeast. At first it was not
very noticeable, but in few minutes
the rays of light shot up in long lines
until the entire heavens in that direc-
ton seemed ablaze. The inhabitants
were thunderstruck and many thought
that the day of judgment was at hand.

THE FIRST COTTON MILL.
Washfngton's Diary Locates 1t at
Beverly, Massachusetts.

WashfngtOn's Diary Locates 1t at
Beverly, Massachusetts.
Several different towns in the United
States claim the unique distinction of
having erected the first American cot
ton mill; but from the best informa-
ton that can be obtained it seems that
the credit properly belongs to the town
of Beverly, Mass.
The circumstances leading up to this
discovery may be of interest to our
readers. Some years ago Mayor Ran
tout, of Salem, Mass, was invited to
Pawtucket, R. l., to attend the centen-
NAL exercises at that place in COM
memoration of the opening of the fa-
nous Slater mill In sending out in
vitations to this centennial event the
owners of the mill claimed it to be the
first establishment of it's kind ever
erected in the United States. For
some reason Mayor Rantoul was un-
able to be present at the exercises,
but, being deeply interested in historic
cal researches, he decided at his lei
sure to investigate the claims of the
Pawtucket mill-owners This investi.
cation led to the discovery that the old
cotton mill at Beverly, Mass, which
was burned down in 1888, had been in
operation for several years prior to the
establishment of the mill at Pawtucket,
and that no less a witness than General
Washington himself could be cited in
confirmation of the fact. 1t seems
that General Washington. while on a
tour of the New England States in
17S9,made visit to the old Beverly cot
ton mill, and was so impressed with
the novelty of the spectacle that he
devoted several pages of his diary to
its description. This old diary is still
to be found among General Washing
toms papers.
AS the researches of Mayor Rantoul
seemed to settle the matter beyond all
controversy the residents of Beverly,
Mass, caused a handsome tablet to be
erected on the site of the old mill,
commemorating the establishment OF
the first enterprise of its kind ever in
augurated in the United States.
