 -xf-- @ W. T. G.-What is hypnotism Can one hypnotize another without the sub 1 iect knowing it, and do teachers do as they say they can do?
 A. Hypnotism is kind of sleep said to be produced by animal magn netism. Persons of strong magnetic force can undoubtedly influence those with less force.

 W. 0. F.-How can I tan hides with the hair on so they will be soft and plable?
 N A. Y One way is to immerse them ill q running stream twenty four hours, then take them out and scrape off the fat and flesh; then rub on the wrong side with salt, roll tightly in bundle and put away till tanned. Another way is to first soften the pelts with pure butter or olive oil and then tram pie them in 9 tub filled with heated sawdust. After this process remove with a sharp knife the remaining par. ticles of flesh and again trample them in sawdust When cleaned they are ready for the furrier. These recipes are quoted as I find them; know noth- ing of their value.
