Psychology means the science of ths

Psychology means the science of thy
mind; a knowledge of the power with
in; and the application of this science
to the physical ills of the body is
known as suggestive therapeutics.
There is no nerve or muscle of the hui
man body which cannot be brought
under the absolute control of the
mind. AT the Chicago school of psy-
chology patients, as well as students.
are taught the true meaning of the
power of the mind.
The normal condition of man is one
of health. When a sufferer is placed
in the right way of regaining health
nature will perfect the recovery. Ply
sicians have too greatly neglected to
cultivate the natural force of recuper-
alton and resistance inherent in every
man. Metaphysicians have gone to
the other extreme and refused to
sanction the use of necessary medi-
cines. THE wise man is he who
bends all things to his service in the
evolution of good" 1t is not claimed
that suggestion will cure anything
but mental and imaginary complaints
instantaneously, but that by the eff
fects it can be made to exert upon
the main organs of nutrition and
elimination it can be used as a spe-
cfic in some troubles and an ad-
juyant in every known disease. The
same force which. if sent into the
arm by the mind, enables a man to
lift weight of 100 pounds, if proper
ly directed gives him power to over
come a functional trouble. Sugges-'
ton is the keynote of the school. The
situations beautiful and the surround
ings of the patients who remain in
the house are harmonious and tend to
produce tranquil and pleasant con-
dition of mind. To layman, one of
the most wonderful things to be wit
messed in the treatment of a patient
by suggestion alone is the rapid in
crease in weight. Several pounds per
week are gained in most cases. The
theory is that dyspepsia, headache,
kidney troubles, catarrh, neuralgias,
rheumatism, insomnia and most other
diseases are produced by troubles of
circulation. If the blood supply to
an organ be insufficient, impure or OBJ
structed, it will soon begin to per-
form its work in an imperfect man.

THE ART OF ENTERTAINING.
A Few Points for the Guidance of
Hosts and Guests in Social
Entertaining.

The house itself may be helpful in
making visitors feel at home. We
should have nothing too fine for com
fort, and welcome our friends in rooms
made homelille by our daily use. writes
Mrs. Burton Kingsland, in Ladies'
Home Journal.
1t is well to have easy rules about
breakfast. 1t is customary to give
ones guests the option of having tea
or coffee, rolls and fruit sent to their
rooms, or of joining the family.
No hostess apologies for any guest.
All are on the same social plane while
under her roof, and should receive
equal consideration.
1t is a disputed point whether host
or guest should suggest retiring for
the night. 1t relieves visitors of en-
barrassment to know the ways of the
household. and readiness to com
ply with them is mark of polite
ness.
1t shows no lack of cordiality to re-
frain from urging friends to extend
their visit. They probably have other
pleasant plans, and a hostess may be
asking great favor when she fancies
that she is comforting one.
Experienced entertainers recon-
mend that the men should generally
spend their mornings together and
women enjoy each others society.
All meet at luncheon.
Hosts and guests meet in the draw
ing or living rooms before the meals.
Not less than five, nor more than Is
minutes should be allowed for all to
assemble.
Every guest should be made to feel
that his or her presence has added to
the pleasure of the entertainment, and
conferred a personal qualification up
on the hosts.
A prompt expression of qualification
in remembering the visit at once, up
on returning, is an evidence of good
breeding.
A guest should hold sacred ANYTHING
that may be learned of the family life
or the peculiarities of any member of
the household where hospitality has
been accepted.
Visitors should fall in readily with
any plan proposed for their pleasure,
showing a disposition to be easily
amused and interested, but must not
seem dependent for amusement.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

1t is stated that a machine is be-
ing placed in Eastern worsted mills
which displaces about one-half of the

Kansas City has now become the

States, having made 4S,429 barrels of

The German biologist, Haeckel, in

fossil remains. the discovery of which

According to the Sanitary Record,
meats frozen and kept in cold storage
for long periods do not undergo or
ganic changes in the ordinary sense.
but they certainly do deteriorate in
some intangible way. After a certain
time frozen meat loses some life-prin-
ciple essential to its nourishing quail
ity.
Stone Soles for Shoes.-An inventor
has hit upon a method of putting stone
soles on boots and shoes. He mixes
waterproof glue with a suitable guam
tity of clean quartz sand and spreads
it over the leather sole used as a
foundation. These quartz soles are said
to be very flexible and to give the
foot firm hold, even on the most Slip
perry surface.
The width of fash of lightning has
been measured by Mr.. George Rum
ker, of the Hamburg observatory. A
photograph was secured last August
as lightning struck tower a third of
mile away, and from the distance OF
the tower and the focal distance of the
camera objective was possible to cal
culate the breadth of the discharge
shown in the picture. 1t has been de-
termined that the flash was one-fifth
OF an inch wide. Ramifications shown
in the photograph on each side of the
main discharge are attributed to the
strong gale that was blowing, the phe-
nomena appearing like silk ribbon
with shreds floating in the wind.

DIR. Joseph PARKER.
EngIand's Greatest Pulpit Orator
Declares That He Is About to Re-

Rev. DR.. Joseph Parker, the famous

the City temple, the leading Congrega-

the City temple in 1869, and during the
years that have passed since then he
