The Mule in Hypnottsm.

Max Carnayeaux, who gives exhibi.
lions of his power in hypnotism, has
decided that in future he will be more
careful in the selection of his subjects
for experiment.
One of his favorite tricks was to per.
suade the man who submitted to him
for test that he was a mule, and great
merriment always followed the mulish
antics of the victim while he was under
the hypnotic influence.
But one day, down In Lyndon, Kan.
sas, Mr.. Carnaveaux, feeling unusually
sprightly and jovial, presumed a little
too far on the good nature and genial
ity Of the mule pro tenn, and carried
away by the strength of hypnotic sug-
gestion, the man under the spell sud.
denly kicked out with great violence
and struck the hypnotist in the hand,
fracturing one of the bones.
For a few weeks, therefore, there
have been no hypnotic experiments of
any sort, and Mr.. Carnaveaux has made
up his mind to give.up the mule trick
and rely ON animals of more peaceable
and reliable dispositions.

StODs the Train.

With view to preventing accidents
at level crossings and collisions in the
neighborhood of railway stations very
ingenious mechanism has recently been
tried in France. 1t consists essentially
of a huge hook, or catch, made of iron,
which Is connected with a lever at the
station by means of wire, through
which a current of electricity passes.
When it is lying in its place the train
passes over 1t quite easily, but as soon
as it is raised 1t catches lever which
is attached to the engine. The lever
thus caught causes an air valve on the
engine to open automatically and APP
plies the brakes at once, so that the
whole train is brought to a standstill
within a short distance. In foggy
weather the nse of such an apparatus
cannot be overestimated, as it is calcu.
lated to prevent train running into
another which happens to be delayed
ut station.

According to the Law.
We, the people Of the United States
are remarkable in our knowledge. I'm.
der a presumption of law. The law
presumes that we know the law. and
though Mr.. Bundle may be right In
saving that the law is an ass In its pre-.
sumption, its Prescriptions control US
lust the same. 1t Is never an excuse
to plead ignorance of the law, for the
magistrate who does not know the law
Judges who give opposing views of the
law and courts that cannot agree on
what the law is will tell you that you
do know the law, because the law SAYS
that you do. This Is very compliment
tary to the layman.
Just think what we know under this
legal presumption. Besides the unwrit.

the ages, we know millions of enact.

A Dog Hero.

"The world is full of dog heroes,

Bruno is splendid specimen of his
kind, and his behavior In an emergency
has endeared him more than ever to his
owners heart.
The dog is deeply attached to fine
pair of horses, one of whom is his spe.
cial friend. The dog has often led the
animals to water, carrying the end OF
the rope in his mouth. His air of pride
and proprietorship on these occasions
has been the source of no small amuse-
ment to observers.

of Bruno at the house door.
When Mr. Baldwin appeared, the dog

He dashed ahead to the stable door. an6

Mr. Baldwin released one of the
horses, and after some difficulty sue

His Aim in Life.

People bother little boys so! All the
tourists to his island home used to ask
this one: What are you going to be,
little boy? What are you going to bef'
and the boy had patiently replied at
every interruption of his important I'M
dertakings: Il am going to be sailor
and climb the masts."
Last summer he took an ocean voyage
and was very seaslck, and the third
day his father asked: what are you
going to be, boy? what are you going
to be?"
Il am not going to be a sailor and
climb the masts he replied. II am
going to be soldier and shoot can

carnage and realistic dead bodies in the

What are you going to be, boy? what

in burst of confidence:

Following the carriages and pre-

1t was the little khak-colorer gun
carriage which was to carry Queen
Nictoria's remains from Victoria to
Paddington station. The eight Ilano-
varian cream-colored horses which
also drew the late queen on the occa-
sion of the jubilee were used. The
gold-mounted harnesses, scarlet-coat-
ed Positions and scarlet and gold
covered grooms who held each of the
horses by the bride were all the
same.
Only the little gun carriage, in
stead of the glittering glass and gold
coach marked the change.
With the exception that rubber
tires were on the wheels, the gun
carriage was as if in actual use. The
place for the coffin to rest was over
the gun.
