Hypnotism is no longer a myth fanci-
full creation of the mind. but a reality, a
most potent power. capable of producing
infinite good. For the purpose of ascer-
tanning the exact value of this much
taliled-of power committee of physi-
clans, a well known iuIst, a prominent
minister ana leading railroad man were
appointed to investigate Hypnotism.
The committee carried on Il series of
Investigations in regard to The power of
hypnotisIn to influence the actions and
deeds OF people in the everyday walks
of life.
The first steps taken by the members
of the committee was TO master the
science in every detail so that they
might state from personal experience the
good or evil this strange power might
produce. They wrote to the New York
Institute of Science, of Rochester. n. Y,
the greatest school OF Hypnotism and
Occult Sciences in the world and received
full and complete instructions in regard to
how hypnCtiSIn may be used to influence
people in business, how to use it in treat
ing diseases, etc, etc. IN a few days
they mastered these instructions and were
full-hedged hypnotists.
1t was clearly demonstrated that hyp-
notism may be employed so that the per-
son operated upon is entirely uncon-

The first day Of SEPTEMBER month
with an ''r" in marks the beginning
of the oyster season. The bivalve will be
quite the proper thing for a dinner course
from now until the first of May.
In New York the market is principally
concerned at present with oysters for
shipment to Western cities. Great guam
titles are being SO disposed CT, and even
in Denver, New York oysters are now
ready for consumption. The manner of
preparing oysters for shipment has de-
years that the Denver man can get his
bivalves in almost as good condition as
they are when they are shipped.
The New Yorker or the visitor to this
metropolis who. has not visited the oyster
market has missed one of the QuainteSt
sights in this city. Yet 1t is all so far
away that few people do see It, Down
behind the Gansevoort market, near the
foot OF Fourteenth street. on the North
river, there are fourteen dingy-loking
houseboats moored to docks, and which
remain so moored throughout the year.
These boats are rectangular in shape,
and generally two stories high. Their
main deck floors are much below the sur
face of the dock, and access to them Is
by steeply inclined gangplanks. They are
very dirty-looking places to be the me-
dunn through which about 100000 oys-
tiers day reach the New York market
during the season.
Backed up to these households are

Some of the more progressive of the
merchants along the river front are
chatting under the present method of fix
ing the price of oysters They say it is
old-fashioned, and, in this day of combi-
nations, should not be. This method is
based upon the law of supply and de-
mand. Some of the young men want a
combination. and price fixed by the
dealers, but in these old households there
are some old-time fishermen who have
been in the oyster business for nearly
half q century. They are a simple-mlnd-
ed folk and like not the new-fangled
ideas of Wall street, as they call them.
There was an effort made to form a
combination of the oyster men about five
years ago, but these old fogies, as their
competitors call them, would not go into
the arrangement, and as a consequence
It failed. The younger men say that no
combination can ever be formed until

The Rockaway oysters, which are very
largely used in the city, will not come
into the market in very large quantities
until next week. There will be some OF

enormous scows, sailboats, with deep
holds in them, manned by crews of from
two to four men, and hailing from
Princes bay Rockaway and the other
oyster beds around New York. Just now
most Of them are from Princes bay,
which is just outside the Narrows in the
lower New York bay.
These boats go out from Staten Island
and In water from ten to fifteen feet deep
gather up the oysters with prongs and
sea shovels. They don't have any ice
aboard, and no matter how hot it is they
dump the pivalves on their boat and
keep at it. A good oyster in ordinary
weather will last four or five days with
out spelling, even without Ice.
When q boat has been filed, the fish
erman sails up to the oyster basin, which
Is just back of the old Households. Some
times the entire basin, which reaches
several hundred yards out into the water,
will be crowded with boats ready to I'M
load their burdens The fishermen are
paid for their product by the basket, and
the basket will contain both counts"
and 'culls." The culls are the small
oysters used mostly for stews, and are so
called because the yare culled out of the
miscellaneous collection the fisherman
gathers in. The counts are so called be-
cause 1t worth while to count them more
carefully.
