Many very intelligent people are de-
tered from swallowing the seeds OF
berries, grapes and other fruits, lest
the Judgement of these small bits OF
indigestibleness may induce that dread
ed trouble, appendicitis. This fear,
says the Dietetic and Hygenic Gazette,
is utterly baseless, since the healthy
appendix is protected by valvular
arrangement which prevents even the
smallest seeds from entering it. 1t is
only after Inflammation has already
destroyed its normal protection that
any foreign substance can gain access
to it. To feel compelled to eschew all
seedy berries and fruits is to seriously
curtail ones dietary, and it is entirely
unnecessary. In fact, the free and
constant use of ripe berries and fruits
of all kinds is one of the best prevent
ives of this dreaded disease. Fruit
eating prevents or helps to overcome
constipation, and constipation is the
most prolific cause of appendicitis.
The physician should thoroughly dis
abuse his patient of this mistaken no.
ton. All the smooth seeds are harm
less.

At the Great Northwestern Fair held
at Sterling, ILL.,, last week one of the
chief attractions and one that made
the blood of the onlookers run cold
was the hypnotism and burial of a
young lady by her father. The grave
was dug to the depth of five feet and
the young lady, Miss Eva Mcdonald
by name, was hypnotized and placed
into a large pine box and lowered into
the grave. At the head of the grave was
a tube almost foot square which ex-
tended down through the earth into
the box and another about six inches
square at the foot. These served to
give ventilation in the box aud also
gave an opportunity to look down at
the face and feet Of the subject. Small
lanterns were placed in the box, one
at the head, another at her feet which
illuminated the interior of the box per-
hitting the spectators to see her plain
ly. The young lady remained in a
hypnotic state forty-eight hours, when
she was exhumed and brought out OF
her comatose condition. Many of the
spectators, especially the ladies. be-
came very much excited over the bur-
ial, some going into Mysteries and
others fainting.
