A Thousand Miles.
 The medical men at Wichita, Kas.. are discussing a remarkable case of long-distanee hypnotizing. William Mack, q harnessmaker. was appre- hended several weeks ago on a charge of insan ty. On coming before the municipal examiners he insisted, in coherent language, that he was not crazy, but hypnotized. It is his state ment that the owner Of the evil eye was then at Portland, Ore. that con Yinced the physicians of his mental in- equalities. He testified that he had met at a San Francisco hotel in 1891 certain Gertie Andrews, who claimed to be from Portland Being a very fascinating woman, they, or he, had speedily fallen in love. with, on his part. conse- quent promise of marriage. He re- turned to Wichita, expecting to wed in short time. but his business dwin- died, so that when, on the appointed day. she alighted from an East-bound train. he was obliged to confess that he could not keep his word. The woman thereupon flew into a great rage, although until after supper which they took alone in a little res taurant near the Santa Fe depot, she made no open demonstration. She had in San Francisco. during the first days of their engagement, amused people in the hotel by hypnotizing. of which she had a powerful knaek. She now told him that she meant to hypnotize him. This was the last Mack knew until several days after, he found himself in the cell of a police station at Denver The woman has skipped, presumably. To his astonishment and terror, how ever, she came to the cell soon after he had come to, and. securing his re- lease, took lin 10 q room. Here she again threw ann under a spell, forcing him to telegraph to Wichita and sell out his business at a great sacrifice Having taken all he had she allowed him to come back. giving him to un- derstand, however. that she should still. no matter how far off he might be. exercise ! balefuI influence over him. It was this threat that drove him wild He tried continually to kill himself. and when locked ID ia 3 cell performed the most demoniac actions, tearing up the bed clothes. pulling his hair and putting his head against the wall When committed 10 the asylum at 0ssaWatomie he sttu imagined that the Oregon woman was tormenting him, and called aloud to her in heart- reudiug terms to have mercy The profession are pretty evenly divided IS to the cause of his insanity It is thought by the more conservative that Ihe woman may while in his company have So repeatedly hzpnotfzed him that his brain gave way.

Recently we clipped the following paragraph from paper published ln the northwest:
 'sThe North Dakota station is one of the few agricultural experimental sta tions that has a poultry department in charge of an expert chicken crank. They began a series of experiments to determine, if possible, what effect, II any, heating the poultry house would have upon the production of eggs a1u the food requirements. On December 1 they put forty-six chickens, mclud- ing several varieties of birds, into the poultry house. January 20 large stove was put into the house and a hre started with Ignite coal. On Janu- ary 31 the feed had decreased to SIX pounds in the morning and eight anu three-fourths in the evening. The last of March four and half pounds morning and four and three-foufths evenings. The total amount of fuel burned from January 20 to April l costs $4.50. During the month Of Jan uary previous to the use of the stove, the average number of eggs a day was two and three-fourths, the remainder of the month from tie 21st to the end it was six and three-eleyenths, show ing the influence that heat exerted upon the production of eggs. The question naturally arises, can far mer under the conditions existing on the ordinary farm afford to take care of his poultry by furnishing artificial heat? An examination of the figures shows that but half the food is con sumed and that the egg production IS more than doubled With eggs worth 25c a dozen at that season of the year and food at the ordinary prices, Il should seem that it would not only be economy to heat the poultry house but would be a source of great prohe' especially after arrangements had once been eoupleted so that it would re- ouire but little extra work.
