What the Plodders Accomplish.

From Success.
If we were to examine list of the men
who have left their mark on the world, we
should find that, as a rule, 1t is not COM
posed of those who were brilliant in youth,
or who gave great promise at the outset of
their careers, but rather of the ploddng
young men who, If they have not dazzled
by their brilliancy, have had the power of a
days work in them, who could stay by a
task until 1t was done. and we'll done; who
have had grit. persistence, common sense
and honesty.
1t is the steady exercise of these ordinary,
homely virtues. united with average ab:l-
ity, rather than deceptive display of more
snowy qualities In youth, that enables a
man to achieve greatly and honorably So,
II We were to attempt to make a foreca st
OF the successful men OF the future, we
should not look for them among the RANKS
of the smart boys, those who tn nix they
know it an and are anxious to win by q
short route.

Trial Court at Ascot.

From the London Chronicle.
Not only the horses but the powers of the
law are swift at Ascot, for the course has
a special tribunal for the punishment of
evil-doers. No sooner is the pickpocket
welsher or ticket snatcher arrested than he
is standing before Sir Albert de Rutzen in
little room in THE rofal stand, where the
evidence is heard and the verdict and SEN
tence pronounced sbefoHe the offender fully
realizes that he rs caAght. Nowhere else
does punishment 50 swiftly follow crime as
at this court. This. race course tribunal
arose curiously in the eighteenth century
from an assault upon royal persona ge.
In his indignation atcthe impossibility of
instant punishment Of the assailant he or
dered that in future b magistrate should
always attend the royal race meeting. This
has ever since been done. The chief magis-
trate of Bow street was constituted ex-
officio ]. P. of1the1eounty of Berks in
order to enable him to hold this court at
Ascot.

The Sand Paths.
From the New York sTribune.

AT a little village near Huy, Belgium, in
the night Of April 30. there exists the Gus
tom known as the "Chemins de Sables., or
sand paths. On the morning of May 1 the
village lanes are found covered with mar
row tracks of white sand running side by
side, and by following them one will be led
at one end to the house of some winsome
country lass, and at the other end to the
home of her village lover.
Sometimes these sand paths are miles in
length and will take those who follow them
to all the most freQuented haunts of the
lovers. However. to know these secrets and
tntrigues the curious must rise with the
early bird, for the maidens spy out from
their windows and when they see a streak
OF white sand leading up to their doors
hasten down to sweep away the telltale
track. Sometimes several sand streaks lead
to the door of the same lass, a sign that
she Is q decided favorite.

SALISBURY TO RETIRE.
British Premier is Tired of the Cares
of Office.

LONDON, July 5-At the earliest pos
sible moment Lord Salisbury contemplates
retiring from public life. But that sever
ance from the affairs of the empire which
he has so long administered Is not likely
to come until after the coronation and 1t
may possibly be still further delayed by
now unseen reasons of state or politics.
During the last few months the premier
has more and more detached himself from
the cares of office
With increasing age his dislike Of pub
Ucity and dread of details which high office
holding involves have been strengthened
into an antipathy so strong as to render
even the conservative leaders less impor-
tunate in their demands that he remain
premier.

HYPNOTIC CURES,
Result Of Experiments in an English
Insane Asylum.

From the London Hospital
In lecture delivered before the Kings
College Medical Society DIR. Milne Rram
well gave an interesting sketch of the sub
1ect OF hypnot1sm. Describing the eXperr-
ments OF FIorel who till recently was medi-
cal director OF the Burgholi Asylum and
one OF the professors of the University of
Lurlch, he said that he succeeded in hvpno
tlzlhs nearly all his asylum attendants
poth male and female, a large proportion of
them becoming profound somnambules
FOR ten years experiments were made In
regard to the use of hypnotism in the night
watching of dangerous 1unatics Warders
were hypnotized and trained to sleep nv the
bedside of these patients and to awake the
instant they heard them attempt to get
OUT OF bed the hypnotic suggestion being
maze use or to fnhibit all sounds which
had no reference to the duty laid upon then,
and 1t was found that warders so hypnotiz
ed could perform night duty for six months
ana work hard all day without showing
signs of fatigue. The results of these ex
periments were, 1t Is said uniformly sue
cessful, and no accident Of any kind oc-
Cured. W
In regard to this and other applications
OF hypnotism DR.. Bramwell refers to the
method OF Wetterstrand, Who instead of re-
strlcting himself to suggestions made in
the course of short hypnotic trance advo-
Sdleu tHe use OF the curative effects of pro-
longed hypnotic sleep. Wetterstrand treat
ed epilepsy and grave forms of nervous dis
order by keeping the patients in the hyp-
motto trance for three or four weeks. With
out rousing them the patients were fed at
stated intervals. and the action of the bow
els and bladder were regulated by sugges-
ton and thus mental as well as physical
rest was given, in addition to such thera-
peutic advantages as might be gained by
aid Of suggestion.
Dr. Milne Bramwell says that, although
every one cannot be deeply hypnotized, pro
found states are not necessary for the sue
cessful employment Of suggestion, and the
number OF persons insusceptible to some
degree of hypnotic influence is extremely
small Among other diseases he gives the
following as those in which hypnotism has
given good results: ''Hysteria, neurasthenia.
dipsomania, and other drug habits, obses-
sions. moral perversities and nervous tricks
In children" We may add that, as far as
the treatment Of dipsomania is concerned.
1t seems not entirely impossible that some
OF the startling results which are said to
have been obtained at certain institutions
for the treatment Of this condition may
have been the outcome Of an unacknowledg-
ed but none the less effectual application Of
hypnotic suggestion.
