Mesmer published in 1873 his DC
count Of the marvellous cures effected
by what he was pleased to term an
imal magnetism. When in 1770 he
came to Paris he came with a well de-
veloped sense of the value Of advertis,

live and thoughtful, but to take a SEN
sation loving populace by storm. Most
e~xtravagant tales Of cures he had ac-
eomplished in Berlin, Vienna and else
where were noised abroad. Through
Z convert he challenged the physicians
Of Paris to enter into a contest with
him, they to treat twelve patients by
the orthodox methods, he to treat
twelve by his. OF course this challenge
was rejected, and equally of course
it's rejection was interpreted by the
thoughtless as an acknowledgment Of
the superiority of Mesmer's treatment.
His rooms were thronged. His purse
waxed constantly heavier.
The treatment he gave was such as
to appeal wildly to the Imagination of
the patient-in a word, to increase his
suggestibility. Suggestion, indeed, was
it's root element, although Mesmer fail
ed Of pretended to fail to recognize this
and taught that Its efficacy depended
upon the efluence of a mysterious
huid. In a room dimly lighted and
hung with mirrors the patients were
seated about a circular vat Of con.
siderable, size covered with a lid and
containing various chemicals. A hong
cord connected the patients with one
another, while in the lid Of the tub
were several holes, through each !of
which passed an iron rod bent in such
q way that Its point could be applied
to any part Of a patients body. The
patients were requested not to speak,
the only sound in the room being
strains of soft music. When expectan.
cy was at its flood Mesmer would en-
ter clad in the robe of a magician and
carrying an iron wand. At one patient
he would gaze intently, and another he
would stroke gently with his wand.
Soon some would burst into laughter.
others into tears. while still others
would fall into commissions. finally
passing into a lethargic state. out Of
which, it Is claimed, they emerged
cured or on the highroad to a cure.
Occasionally the treatment was given
outdoors, a tree being "magnetized"
and the patient collapsing in a swoon
SO soon as he approached it.-Apple-

 Few public men in our history rose more rapidly to honorable distinction than William H. Taft.
 When President Mckinley selected him for service in the Philippines MT. Taft was little known outside the legal profession of his native State. Ohio. He had made a highly creditabie record as Federal Judge. but his reputation in this capacity was not widely ex- tended, so that when he was chosen for the difficult task of governing the Philippines there was good deal of doubt as to the wisdom of his selec- tion.
 How well the Judgment of Mir. Mc- Kinley was justified by results is fla miliar to all. Though without experi- ence in administrative affairs. Judge Taft took hold of the duties devolved upon him as if he had been thoroughly trained in executive work. He applied to the task tact. energy and common sense.
