If mothers would cast aside foolish prud-
cry, and impart TO their daughters the
knowledge that they, themselves, have ac-
quired by years of suffering they would be
forced to spend fewer hours of anxious at
tendance at the bedsides of sick daughters.

Hypnotism in Court.

Remarkable precautions were taken
by the prosecution in the Moore case,
in New York, TO keep the jury from
being hypnotized The crime with
which the man and his wife We're
charged was the vulgar one of black
mailing at the point of a pistol a
wealthy gentleman, who declares he
entered the wife's apartment at her in
vitation. Interest does not centre in
the crime itself. but in Mrs. Moores
eyes, which are said to have a power of
compelling people to do anything,
whether they wish to or not.
When the case was opened the prose
cutting attorney requested that the
young woman be not allowed to sit
near her attorney. and by the judges
order she was moved to place reserv-
ed usually for witnesses. The reason
for this was that the change placed her
at great distance from the jury box
and decreased the danger of her exert
ing her hypnotic powers on the jurors.

counsel because of an alleged mysterious
power that has no status in law. Bat
recorder Goff apparently decided TO
recognize it in his court, and the result
is that hereafter hypnotism has a legal
precedent to stand on.
Men who get their rubber boots wet
inside can dry them in night by filling
them with dry oats, which will soon

a prominent doctor holds that arti-
fetal teeth are an evil in those of ad-
vanced years, because they enable such
persons to masticate flesh. When the
teeth fail naturally, it is natures de-
sign that the individual should subsst
on vegetable diet

QUEER KINDS OF FOOD.
Japan ships Many Singular and Out
Iandish Edibles to the
New World.

japan is a heavy shipper of out
landish foods to the new world. 1t
has a practical monopoly of the nests
which are used in making birds nest
soup, which, by the way, when pre-
pared by an American chef, is the most
delicious fish of it's class in the world.
1t also catches and dries armies of
devil fish, which are as popular in the
east as dried Goldfish in the west. In
fact, the two sea foods are very much
alike in flavor and differ chiefly in
their texture, the flesh of the devil
fish being hard, compact and more
like muscle than that of the familiar
cod.
Tree mushrooms and sea mushrooms
are two other famous japanese edi-
bles that come to us across the Pacific.
They resemble mushrooms in their
contour and structure, but in moth
ing else. The tree mushrooms have a
flavor of wood bark, while the sea
mushroom boils away in cooking very
much as if it were made of marine
glue. In fact, it is made in Japan for
making vegetable gelatin for thick
ening stews and soups in very much
the same manner as we convert the
bladders of surgeons and other fishes
into animal gelatin for similar pur-
pose. Dried fishes are another i'm
pcrtant export from the land of the
nikado.
Unlike us, the japanese dry almost
every eatable fish, from minnows and
wEitebait up to marine animals as
large as their sturgeon an1 sword
1sh. Their drying appears to be con-
Quoted upon different system from
our own. When ready for the mar
ket their fish are so dried as tD sug-
gest kiln-dried timber. They apply
the same process to the lower forms
of sea life, and dessicate clans, mus
sells, oysters, prawns, shrimps, eraw-
fish and crabs until they rese mble
stone. In this condition the foods will
withstand any climate and may be
kept in the open air without spelling
for an entire twelvemonth.-Phila
