Close of Ben Hur" Production.

No definite time for the ending of
the run of Ben Hur" at the Broad
way theatre, New York. has yet been
fixed but it Is quite probable that 1t
will close the second week in May.
There is now an extraordinarily large
advance sale: which. as the season
draws near its end. is constantly in
creasng. AS the close of the run APP
proaches and this great and growing
sale concentrates, difficulty in secur-
ing seats may he apprchendsd There
fore those who are considering going
to New York to see Ben Hur' should
set about securing seats at once.
Tickets may now be had by mail for
any performance from this time till
May l.
The advance sale for Ben Hur" has
been very adroitly managed, and, AL
though at most performances people
have been turned away. seats have
been available up to the rise of the
curtain. The management has been
able tn accomplish this by placing
seats ON sale farther ahead than has
ever before been known in New York
city.

The Fox.

Everybody knows that foX's tail is
in hunting parlsnce his brush, but few
perhaps know further that his scalp is
technically "mask," or, if he is su-
perIatively game, it is torn off, nailed
on the kennel door of the pack in at his
death and marked with three crosses
to show that he died only at the end
of ringing rlNi. The brush, of course,
goes to whoever is nearest when it is
taken. The trophy next in value is the
right forefoot-in hunting phrase, pad
thief" The left forefoot, pad mino,"
ranks next; after it, the hind feet,
-+the pegs. which only very young or
very avid hunters care much to claim.
One amazing thing regarding the
vixen-the she foX-is that no dog will
follow her trail while she carries
young. 1t is uncertain whether she
then leaves no scent or whether the
dogs obey some primal instinct in
passing over her track. A certain con-
sideration for the female is apparent in
most of the canine species. One of the
surest signs of rabies is for dog to
attack female of his own species,

Mind and Body.
How Mental Suggestions May Be
Made to Combat Disease.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

If an individual has faith in a medi-
cine or in treatment, he will assured
ly derive more benefit from the medi-
cine or treatment than if he were
skeptical as to its merits, says The
Medical Record. There can be little
doubt that the sympathetic physician
is the one best calculated to lead his
patient to recovery. Again, in many
diseases the good that may be wrought
to the sufferer by the agency of mental
suggestion is undeniable. Professor
j. Nj. Baldwin, referring to this fact in
connection with insomnia, says:
I'm experimenting upon the possibili-
ty of suggesting sleep to another
fiuences upon my own mental condi-
tion. Such an effort which involves
the picturing of another as asleep is a
strong auto-suggestion of sleep. taking
effect in my own case in about five
minutes if the conditions be kept con-
stant. The more clearly the patients
sleep is pictured the stronger becomes
An unfailing cure for insomnia, speak
ing for myself, is the persistent effort
to put some one else asleep by hard
thinking of the end in view. with a
continued gentle movement. such as
stroking the other with the hand"
DR.. e. G. Spitzka of New York has
recently given some really remarka-
BILE Instances of the power of mental
suggestion. He cites the we'll known
fact that the mortality from wounds
and diseases in a defeated army COM
pared with victorious army is. as
to and even 3 to 2. He also refers
to the incontrovertible fact that per-
sons in robust health have been known
to die apparently of starvation after
being without food for from three to
five days. DR.. Spitzka is of the opin-
ion that these individuals did not die
of actual starvation, but from the
physical effects of the hunger The
proof of this contention lies in the fact
that persons have been known to fast
of their free will for more than 40
days without injuring their constitu-
tions to any appreciable extent.
Many examples establishing the truth
of this statement might be given, but it
will be sufficient to quote one from DR..
Spitzka's paper. He says:
I'm the graver form of hysteria,
when loss of sensation occurs in ex-
actly one-half of the body, you can lay
a piece of tinted paper on the sensitive
side, then suggesting it to be mustard
plaster red area will appear on the
corresponding unsensitive side. Bills
ters of such a character that scars
have permanently remained from them
have been produced in similar cases by
the same method"
The medical profession, it appears
more than likely, has not as yet wholly
appreciated the advantages to be de-
rived from the employment of mental
suggestion.

HeaIthful Uars.

The American Academy of Railway
Surgeons is moving in the direction of
making railroad cars more healthful.
1t long has been felt by the profession
that reform in the hygiene of railway
travel is imperatively needed, and the
new movement promises to be both ac
tive and effective. 1t is shown that the
material used in furnishing railway
coaches-plNshes and velvet cushions,
woolens and draperies of every kind
afford the best possible nest for the
protection and preservation of germs,
and they are also the most difficult to
clean. 1t is now recommended that
cars be finished and furnished with a
smooth surfaced material, like hard
wood or leather, which, while capable
of being quickly cleaned, will lend it
self to the most tasteful arrangement.
Not only should plush, velvet and dra-
perry be almost entirely done away
with, but there should be less emboss-
ing and carving in the ornamentation
of the cars. The tendency in this coun-
try in the matter of decoration is to ex-
travagance, and in railway cars this
overelaboration greatly increases the
labor of keeping the cars clean.

AMERICAN DIAMONDS.
Studies by the Geological Survey of
Canada.

Studies by the Geological Survey of
Canada.
The dissemination of information re-
garding the lake diamonds through the
region of the mOraine, says Popular
Science Monthly, should serve the two
fold purpose of encouraging search for
the buried stones and of discovering
diamonds in the little collections of
lucky stones" and local curios which
accumulate on the clock shelves of
country farmhouses. When it is con-
Bidered that three of the largest dia-
monds thus far found in the region re-
mained for periods of Z, 8 and 16 years
respectively in the hands of the farm
ing population, it can hardly be doubt
ed that many other diamonds have
been found and preserved as local Gu
ing discovered.
If diamonds should be discovered in
the moraines of eastern Ohio, of west
ern Pennsylvania or of western New
York, considerable light would thereby
be thrown upon the problem of locat-
ing the ancestral home. More impor-
tant than this, however, is the mapping
Of the Canadian wilderness to the
southeastward and eastward of James
bay in order to determine the direction
of ice movement within the region, so
that the tracking of the stones already
found may be carried nearer their
home. The director of the geological
survey of Canada is giving attention to
this matter and has also suggested that
study be made of the material found
in association with diamonds in the
moraine, so that if possible it's source
may be discovered.
With the discovery of new localities
of these emigrant stones and the col
lection of data regarding the move
ment of the ice over Canadian terrific
ry it will perhaps be possible the more
accurately and definitely to circum-
scribe their home country and as it's
boundaries are drawn closer and closer
to pay this popular jewel a visit in it's
ancestral home, there to learn what we
so much desire to know regarding it's
genesis and it's life history

Should Coal Give outr

What then? Are we utterly depend
ent upon coal, so that the wheels of in
dustry will stop and the forests be con-
sumed for fuel when coal gives out?
OF course not. 1t is an idle fear. AL
ready we have the beginnings of q
new method of utilizing natural energy
which will prove enormously more eff
fective than coal ever has been and
will be practically inexhaustib1e to
whatever extent industry may expand.
Electrical energy developed by water
power will run the worlds industries,
furnish its light and heat and be the
universal substitute for all forms of
combustion methods. Water power is
practically unlimited, and it will be
utilized more and more in proportion
as the need for it arises and as its use
becomes at different places and at sue
cessive periods cheaper than coal. The
substitution will proceed gradually un-
til, when the coal supply finally is ex-
hausted, nobody will have anything
more than curious or academic inter-
est in the matter, and probably not a
ripple will be produced in the steady
onward flow of the worlds industry
As the use of water power to develop
electrical energy increases to the point
of formidable competition with coal
electrical students and inventors will
doubtless bring out improvements max
ing it possible to store the power or
conduct it long distances at small cost,
until our factories, railroads and ships
can be operated by it, our houses light
ed and warmed and food prepared, all
at even less expense than is possible
today with coal.-Gunton's Magazine.
