In dentistry it certainly has it's place; in out-patient departments of our hospitals it Is often of value, as il has no after effects.
 The various medical eases that have been treated by the hypnotic method are too numerous 10 recount. They ln- clude nearly every form of mental non equilibrium and also cases of general organic trouble dependent more or less on the mental attitude of the patient. They include habits of various kinds, such as onycophagie or fingeT-nail bit ing. excessive sm 3king, dypsomania, nervous twitchings. etc, nervous head aches, insomnia, neuralgia, chronic nervous constipation and diarrhoea and dyspepsia; local and general plain, in- somnia and neurasthenia. Nor is this all. HypnJtism'S greatest blessing con- sists in the cure of psychic paralytics and psychic mysteries. In this cOnnec- tion we may say that it should be used internationally. Dr. Starr, in a lecture at the College of Physicians and Sur geons cited a case of paralysis in the left arm from the shoulder to the el- bow A physician knows that it is i'm possible to get true paralysis of this kind. Dr. Starr hypnotized the patient in his clinic and in less than three minutes the arm was in as good work ing order as ever. During the course of the past year I have worked on a few hysterical cases for physicians where nothing but hypnotism could cure them. A remarkable case of true organic nature came to my notice over year ago. A lady had sever" swelling on her finger. which was so painful that l could hardly bandage it for her. I put her to sleep, suggested the pain away, told her the intlamma- tion would subside the next day, and awakened her, I could then do any thing I wished to the finger without hurting her"

SKI RUNNING IS FASHIONABLE.

SKI RUNNING IS FASHIONABLE
 Ski running is of Scandinavian origin, but has of late become quite a fashion able sport in other countries where nat ural facilities for it's enjoyment exist.
 The ski-pron0unced shee-is, how ever, not confined to sport in the land of it's nativity. It forms an essential factor in the lives of the people of Northern Europe-a necessary medium of travel where the country lies deep buried in snow so that walking is iTn- possible. When a wolf is discovered the hardy peasants lose no time in arranging a ski huft against the ane- my. Where the wolf leads they fol- low, and the sense of self-pFeservation is 50 strong that, though members of the party drop by the way from fatigue and exhaustion, the fittest hunters press on sill the object of the chase is attained.
 On its native snows the ski was used as means of getting through the days work and offered little inducement to- ward recreation and relaxation. But in the hilly countries of its adoption, where slopes. can be descended at light ming speed and where one finds the keenest delight in the mere fact of travelling, ski running has taken the place of skating both as a national and a fashionable pastime.
 The art of jumping on skis was first brought to prominent notice by the peasants of Telemarken, to whom run ming, leaping and plissading down hill- sides on this picturesque footgear come as naturally as walking in boots does

These communities were often centres Uf culture and education; each shared his best with his fellows: and all seemed united in the bond of mutual improvement
 An Englishman once gave his opin- ion that town life was the most satis- factory mode of living in America. ''T There is too much hurry and worry in your cities he said, too much hard work and too great isolation on your farms. Only the very rich among you can really enjoy either city life or country life. For the man Of mod crate means the small town offers the greatest advantages A distinguished French woman who had been the guest of one of the professors of an Illinois college wrote in her published impression of America: I found a real Utopia woman's paradise, place where living was simple and natural, where no artificial barriOrs had been erected. where housekeeping was re- duced to it's simplest terms. My hostess and her thre daughters did most of the work of the house; the one who served us gracefully at the table played the piano with more than an amateurs s skill; another chated fluently to me in French while she made my bed; all three were students at the university from which their father and mother had graduated in the same class Tffzabetb O.

To such purpose did they apply themselves in acquiring and perSectIng themselves in the new sport that they soon outdid their teachers, the country folk, in skill and daring.
 Nor is indulgence in this invigorating pa'stime confined to the male portion of the community. Till recently it was not considered correct" for ladies to ski but habit has broken down the barrier of prejudice, and now skiing is the national sport of Scandinavian wo- men.-Tatler.

LORD ROBERTS ON UNIVERSAL
 SERVICE.


 Earl Roberts lately visited Lianelly, Wales and unveiled a memorial er- rected to the local men who fell in the South African War. Speaking at subsequent luncheon, he said 1t was always delight to him to show what he felt for soldiers. He noticed in the address presented to him an expression of regret that civilization had not found a means of averting armed conflict. That was a sentiment with which he was in full sympathy Only those who knew what war was could understand the horrors of it. He look ed upon an efficient army as the best means of avarting conflict, and that was why he had been speaking so openly in regard to the necessity of keeping the army in the highest state of efficiency. The regular army was as efficient as it possibly could be with the training it received. and the gall ant officers who commanded it and the admirable men were worthy of the high"ts praise. But there was a great deal more than this which was necessary. What he wanted to sec was not merely an efficient regular army and auxiliary forces. but the whole manhood of the nation as great potential reserve of force. If we had that we might be certain, so far as a human being could be certain, that we would be very seldom, if ever. engaged in war. No naticn would think of go- ing to war with us if they knew we had not only an efficient regular army and auxiliary forces but a large po- tential reserve of every man in the country. That was what he wanted to see, and that was what the nation should have.-London People,

PlNcHED THE CASH.
Freight House Of Eastern Steamship
Co. Entered, Monday Night.

A thief OF thieves got in their work,
Monday night. at the freight house on
the wharf of the Eastern Steamship
Co.. robbed a draw in the agents desk
of about IS, stole jacket which was
hanging In the office, and took their de-
parturc. The break was discovered by
Allan Partridge, the cOmpany's agent,
when he opened his Office. yesterday
morning. who at once reported it to
City Marshal Breen, but no develop
Iilents have yet matcrialized which
would lead 10 the discovery Of the thief.
An entrance to the freight house was
effected by slipping the hasp of the
large door on the east side Of the build
ing. and sliding the door open. the wire
with which the work was done being
found on the wharf. Both that door
and another one We're found oJen i'm the
morning. The draw In the desk, from
which the money was taken, was forced
by means of an old chfsel which was
taken from tool box under the coun-
ter in the office. The only other arti-
cles which were missed, in addition to
the money and the jacket, were the
contents OF two bottles of imported gin
ger ale. upon which tn" thief or thieves
had probably RECALLED themselves after
their work i'm the Office.
The only party upon which sus-
picion rests is Il young man who had
been hanging around the freight house
for the past day or two. He was a
good looking fellow of about u years of
age. 5 feet. 8 or inches in height, and
weighing 155 pounds. His weight ia
known from the fact that he had
weighed himself on the scales in the
freight house. He was of light COM
pleNiOn with blue eyes and light hair.
He wore IL light coloreI shirt and dark
gray pants. with belt. The coat which
was taken was dark blue with fine
light colored thread running through 1t.
He also wore a skull cap. such as school
Toys wear, which was shiny with long
usage.
He was around the wharf for several
days. and said that he came from Lynn
Mass. where he had. he said. worked
around the theaters in that city, and
his talk i'm general was regarding
theatcrs. He was around the wharf,
Monday afternoon. at the time of clos
ing mp the freight house. and closed
one of the doors himself. Mr.. Part
ridge is sure that the doors were all
locked for the night. rs he made the
rounds. as usual.
1t is thought by the police that the
chances Of catching the yolng man are
slight. and that he probably got out of
town on some of the night freight
trains.

GUARD AGAINST GERMS.
Keep Well by Strengthening the Stom
ach in Summer With Mi.o.na.

Everyone with weak digestion should
use Mi-o-na at this season and so
strengthen the stomach that disease
germs can have no effect whatever.
This remarkable remedy puts the whole
digestive system in so healthy. clean
and sweet a state that fermentation Of
the food cannot exist, that any disease
germs which may enter the stomach
will be destroyed, and food will be so
readily assimilated that rapid and
healthy increase in flesh will result.
Nervousness and sleeplessness come
more often from a weak stomach than
from any other cause; headache. back
ache, and rheumatic pains are directly
caused by an acid condition Of the
stomach. Mi-o-na corrects all this.
prevents the formation of acids. and
nervousness. kidney trouble. or rheu-
matism. is quickly cured.
Ask Percy w. Means and Bowditch
& Webster to show you the guarantee
under which they sell Mi-o-na. Price
so cents. 1t costs nothing unless it
cures.

Miss Cassie 1. Turner of Chapel
street. has an interesting collection
of ancient heirlooms. of which she is
justly proud. Perhaps the oldest ar
ticle in the collection is a pewter plate
known to be $50 years old. There is
also a quaint old pewter lamp which.
while much less ancient than the plate.
Is nevertheless a most interesting SOU
venir of the earlier days Of artificial
lighting. The oldest book in her col
lection is an old prayer book with
wooden covers, in which her, great
great-gran6parents. Ezra and Martha
Daniels, wrote their names in 1744. The
first pages of the book are missing, so
the exact age of the book cannot be
determined. but it cannot be much less
than two centuries. Another curious
old volume is 1.-The Captivity of Mrs
Johnson" a story of life among the
Indians. published at Charlestown
Mass, in 1896. An interesting article
in Miss Turner's collections is a pho
tograph of M. w. Makay. the famous
mining king of the West bearing his
autograph. Miss Turner's father a
one time worked for Mr.. Makay a
Truckee. Calf. and in later years thu
! millionaire sent him his photograph.

Last Race Of July Series will Be Sailed,
Saturday Afternoon, July 20.

The second race of the July series
given under the auspices of the Cob
boSseecontee Yacht Club, was sailed at
the Lake, yesterday afternoon, the
course sailed over being the same as
was used in the race of Saturday, July
8. -Four yachts started. they being the
Gretchen. owned by Commodore Rob-
inson. the Water Witch, owned by
Capt. T.. NJ. ThomI son. the kalapaki.
owned by Capt. +. L. Smith. and the
Helen. owned by Capt. Melville Smith,
3nd sailed by his son, Ralph w. Smith.
Tho wind was variable, being light on
the first time round the course, and
:reshenng up on the second time round
until it gave the shippers all the air
that they wanted to handle. and sent
the winner of the race home at rate
that was almost record speed.
The race was. after the outcome of
the first race, somewhat of surprise,
for while the Water Witch was an
easy winner in the first event. she was
tail ender, yesterday. and by a good
margin. being beaten by both of the
boats to which she had showed her
heels on July s. while they in turn were
beaten by the Helen. The latter boat,
which was out of the first race be-
cause of an accident, was known to be
good sailer. but after the demonstra-
ton of speed by the Water Witch, the
chances OF the Helen winning against
her were not considered by many to
be any more than even. Yesterdays
race. however. would indicate that
picking a winner in Il yacht race is
about us uncertain as it is in baseball
The judges were J. +. Pierce, Col
f. c. harrington and Elisha Packard
and they discharged their duties to the
satisfaction of all. The next and last
race of the July series will be sailed
Saturday afternoon, July 90.
The summaries of yesterdays race
are as follows:
