s:-:cs.
We had some little chaT over it, and
the game ~cnt On didn's know till
next de- low necr ruin had been just
then. When went TO my Office in the
morAirg found that my cashier had
gone 20 Canada. and that Instead of
having scvcral thousand dollars in

count vas oTcrdrawn. That does not
sound like ruin, confess, but was the
trustee OF certain funds amounting to
about $1,000, and I was called on for a
settlement that very day. If it hadn't
been for nay winnings the night before
/ wouldn't have settled, and il il hadn't
been for winning that pot on pair of
sevens would havo had to quit the
game, for / was loser before that
hand. The consequences would have
been frightful.
Another narrow escape had was
from being u married man. ] was en-
gagged to be married to lady who
broke the engagement because she
had learned that had played poker.
Perhaps ought not speak of this as
an escape, but know that she made the
man she afterward married most mis-
erably unhappy. What would have
happened If I had married her / can't
say, and don't enjoy thinking about
it.
THE most wonderful piece of luck
that ever happened TO me, though, was
in poker game in San Francisco, when
the stakes were not particularly heavy.
In fact we were playing five-dollar
limit, and nobody won or lost more
than q couple of hundred in the game.
The men in it were all members of my
club and were supposed TO be gentle
men, though one of them, as it proved,
was not. We had played till after mid
night, and there was nobody but the
five players in the room when we
caught this fellow cheating.
1.-THE accusation made row, of
course, and the fellow drew revolver
and attempted to shoot the fellow who
had accused him. Another man struck
at the pistol as he fred, and the bullet
grazed my temple. That was as close
a call as anybody could want; but the
luck of 1t lay in the fact that I was ris-
ing from my chair as the shot was fired,
and my foot slipped nsI was in the act
of rising. This caused me to lose my
balance and in falling back, my head
just moved out of range, so that had
only grazed skin on my forehead in
stead of bullet iii the brain, as I would
have had if had not slipped.
"In order TO save scandal we al
lowed the fellow to resign from the
club, and the story was never made
public. [ thought the thing oye~ pretty
seriously, though, and after time I
concluded that poker was rather too ex-
citing for me. think got supersti-
tious about it; But anyhow, have
never played cards since."-.N. Y. Sun.

A French scientist, M. Liebault, has
probably had nor experience and has
done more to establish the claims of
hypnotism than any modern physi-
clan. According to him, the dangers
Of hypnotism are nonresident If it
be employed by fit and proper persons
who, whether to themselves or others,
suggest only what is in harmony with
the physiological functions of the Or
ganism; otherwise the dangers are
obvious. In itself the induced sleep
like ordinary sleep. is a condition
which tends to the equilibrium of nerve
forces and of the organic movements
which those forces excite. The special
qualities required for the production
of the hypnotic sisep are s%elf-confl-
dence, assurance of success and a per-
suasive manner on the part of a hyp-
notizer: on the part of the subject. the
wish to be ,hypnotized. confidence in
the hypnotizer and free consent 70 the
Imposition, Of his suggestion.

In teaching physiology, would it not
be worth very much more to know a
few facts about dress, diet, exercise,
rest, sleep, good and bad air, than to
number and name all the bones, OF
name and classify all the muscles?
The bones will all keep their places
and grow just as rapidly and firmly
whether numbered or unnumbered:
but both mind and body will fare bet
ter If the lungs are not fed on bad
air. So the muscles will expand and
contract and develop and strengthen,
whether counted and classified or not;
but they and the whole system may
slacken or totally stop their action ii
the stomach is supplied with unwhole-
some food. Let the study, therefore.
be directed at first to parts of the sys-
tenn under control, and afterward, If
there be time, to the parts not under
control. These latter may be studied
at leisure, for general information, as
we study comets and eclipses.

A new use for onions has been dis
covered. Recently b~loodhounds were
turned loose upon the trail of some
bank burglars in Indiana. The man
hunt, however, lasted only a few min
utes. Suddenly the leading dog began
bowling dismally and refused to go
farther, and it a. impossible to con-
tinue the chase. A prisoner now in jail
at Ligonier has turned states evidence
and given the police all the facts con-
corning the burglary and the subse
quent escape of the men. He says the
bloodhounds were thrown off the scent
without any trouble by rubbing an
onion on the shoes worn by the
burglars. He says that no b~loodhounds
can be induced to follow an onion
trail. Dogs are a good deal like peo-
pie. after all.

Maurice Despres, an electrical en-
gineer of Cordova, Spain, reports a re-
markable shower of electrified rain
which he recently witnessed. The day
had been warm and MINDLESS, and
about 5 in the evening the sun was
overcast with dense clouds, lowering to
the horizon. Soon after dark there was
a flash Of lightning, and two minutes
later great drops of rain fell, which
cracked family on touching the
ground. From each of them sparks
darted toward the walls, trees and soil
they fell upon. The phenomenon last
ed several seconds, and apparently
ceased when the air between cloud and
earth became saturated with moisture.

Germany's foolish hostility to Eng
land, as voiced through her monarch,
naturally gives offense to Austrian and
Italian statesmen. and to that extent
weakens the tie between the three
nations. Thus far the net result OF
the kaiser's freaks in his efforts to
isolate England has been the creation
of a distrust toward himself among
his friends which may, if his FRANKS
are persisted in, isolate Germany.
