 in more optimistic mood and proceed. ed to mark up prices. The railroads and industrials nearly all participated in the rise and the trading at times during the session was lively, although the total of transactions was not large.

Old Dominion was also strong, while other local stocks closed fractionally higher The technical condition of the market has been much improved by the reac. tion. The business improvement throughout the country is fully up to expectations, and it looks as though higher prices would obtain.

The re- organization plan is to be completed some timc in January, under the aus. pices of prominent Wali street bank ing firm and the new securities are to be listed on the stock exchange. The plan is mainly for the purpose of on. abling a number of developers of diyi- dendpaying properties to retire from active business and let their holdings in these properties be cared for by trus- tees. The names of the concerns to be included in the merger are not yet made public. and no further details are given, but the story seems to be authentic.

If the tariff on steel rails is reduced, it will be of great benefit to the rail. roads of the country, into whose ex- penses the item of rails always appears as an important factor. There is noth- ing in this situation to cause any un- easiress to the stockholders of the various steel companies, as it is an i'm. possibility for foreign manufactures to compete with American producers on even terms. As matter of fact. dur. ing the recent industrial depression in this country our manufacturers have been finding a very satisfactory market for their products abroad There ase other industries which do not now need the protection which the present tariff laws give them and whose products would find very much broader mar. ket but for these imposts This is an age of reciprocity both in the financial and the commercial world.

Recruiting Italian Army In America

was surprised the other day when
dropped into the office of G. p.
Baccelli, the Italian consul. to learn
that he was receiving applications
from young Italians who desire to
join the army of their native land
When | spoke of it he laughed and
said that was nothing new with him,
as he had been doing it for years,
often visiting Syracuse and other
nearby cities TO secure recruits. In
Italy, as in other European countries.
all young men must serve in the
army a certain length of time, and
although Italians living in this coun-
try cannot be compelled to do mill
tary service, many of them do en-
list. Consul Baccelli tells me that
he received about so applications at
Syracuse this week. and also a few
in this city. These young men will
be gent to Italy. where they will
remain in the army for three years

Scents rsed BY Royalty.

Apropos of recent unfavorable
comments by a London. magistrate
on the use OF PERFUMES. 1t may be
pointed out that very exalted per-
sonages are habitual users Of scent.
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has
daily pint of eau de cologne in her
morning bath; Queen Victoria of
Spain affects mixture of iris and
lavender on her handkerchiefs;
Queen Helena of Italy prefers iris
and heliotrope; the Dowager Queen
of Italy and Queen Amelia or Portu-
gal are devotees of sweet vioiets; but
the Empress of Russia leads the
way, as she spends no less than G4,-
900 year on perfumery in Paris
alone. In respect of violets, she re-
quires that they shall be plucked
just as sunset. And when the boxes
OF violets reach St. Petersburg they
are first sent to be examined lest
they might conceal q bomb or some
deadly poison.-Tit-Bits

Professor MunSterberg
on "Trilby."
eeee000e000aaa00aaaoaaaa

Science understands to-day that
the facts Of hypnotism are in no way
more mysterious than those of any
other functions in the natural life
of the mind. They are narrowly re-
lated to the experiences of absorbing
attention, vivid imagination, and
obedient will. and, on the other side,
to sleep and dreams and mental aber-
ration" says Professor Munsterberg.
the Harvard psychologist, in an ar
ticle in McClure's, discussing "Hyp-
notism and Crime" He continues:
i, perhaps, tell a hypnotized man
that he Is to give poison to the visi-
tor whom l shall call from the next
room. l have a sugar powder pre-
pared, and assure my man that the
powder is arsenic. l throw it into a
glass of water before his eyes, and
then 1 call my friend from the next
room. The hypnotized subject takes
the glass and offers it to the new
conner; you see how he hesitates and
perhaps trembles; but finally he over
comes his resistance and offers the
sugar water, which he takes for poi
son.
Experiment seems to prove that
all this is entirely possible, and past
hypnotic suggestion thus plays in
literature the convenient part of
secret agency for atrocious murder
as we'll as for Trilby's wonderful
singing.
In contradiction to all this, /
have to confess that has my doubts
as to the purity of Trilby's hypnotic
singing, and have more than doubts
yes. 1 feel practically sure-that
no real murder has evel been COM
mitted by an innocent man under the
influence of post-hypnotic suggestion.
1t is true, l have seen men killing
with paper daggers and poisoning
with white -four and shooting with
empty revolvers in the Libraries of
nerve specialists or in laboratory
rooms, with doctors sitting by and
watching the performance; but
have never become convinced that
there did not remain in The mind OF
the hypnotized background idea OF
artificiality, anG that this idea Over-
came the resistance which would be
prohibitive in actual life To bring
absolute proof of this conviction is
hardly possible, since we cannot really

TASTED SeventY-fiye DAYS.

Mrs. j. F. Manning. of Mecca. a
small! town on the desert, has just
broken the worlds record for fasting.
Mrs. Manning, who weighed 800
pounds. undertook the task for the
reduction of her weight. Today she
took a handful of strawberries. the
first food she has taken, aside from
a sip now and then of tea or coffee,
for 70 days.
She reduced her weight 5 pounds
and intends to keep on a light fresh
fruit diet until she has reduced her
weight to 100 pounds This is very
desirable, for the thermometer al
this season OF the year at Mecca
hovers around the 120-degree mark.
This record is second to DR.. Tan
ner's. The doctor tasted for 40 days
and nights with no stimulant except
water. but Mrs. Manning's record is
twice the length of time with but
little tea and coffee.-San Francisco
