hypno<ism.

The actual foundation of modern
hypnotic suggestion was discovered
by Liebeault of Nancy, the famous
afsther Of the therapeutic aPplica-
ton of suggestion" After several
wears of practical experience, in
1866 Liebeault wrote his first book
ON the subject. 1t was shelly ed, and
he was called lunatic. Hypnotism
remained curiosity. and Lie
heouit's book was not reproduced
till SIX wears after Charcot, in 1878,
hegan his study of hypnotism. In
1891 Bernheim wrote his work on
suggestion. and this created de-
mand for Liebeault's book, which
then gave him his lasting reputa-

rascEen during hunting trip j.
the Camcroons. He was strolliA
ne afternoon alone a little way
from his camp when a band Of ma
tivcs suddenly confronted him. They
told him that ''big monkey" had
made its appearance in their neigh
borhood, Of which they were afraid
MIR. Paschen subsequently set GU:
to find "the monkey" accompanied
by some eighty natives. After abou;
fifteen minutes walk they came TO
a dense and swampy thicket, where
the natives said the beast was hid
den. At last the animal was DIS
covered hiding in tree, so situated
that NO one could get at it.
The daring hunter at once tosk
oat his bush knife and after COZ
siderable trouble managed to ess-a
path to the foot of the tree. Its
curiosity aroused, the gorilla looked
down through the leaves, but a
that moment the hunters gun wa
heard, and the huge beast received
an ugly wound in the jaw. 1t fell
head first out of its perch IL
caught hold of the branches before
it reached the bottom. But a sel-
ond shot, we'll directed, brought the
monster to the ground at the very
feet of the slayer. 1t was not only
giant, but a magnificent specimen
of its class. The skin was beautl-
full, and the teeth were perfect.
Twelve men carried it back to the
village-no easy task, as the mon
ster turned the scale at 500 pounds.
The animal was then skinned. This
and the beasts bones were embalm-
ed ana sent to Europe. An account
of the method pursued in the
mounting OF the gorilla will give an

at this interesting establishment.
On the receipt of the skin ant
bones numerous measurements Were
taken. Then a clay model was made
to guide the taxidermist in his task
The skin was then cleaned and tan
ned, a process which occupied sev
eral weeks. The real labor in con
nection with the mounting was tina
involved in building a suitabI
framework, or "manikin," to recels
the skin. To accomplish this
wooden skeleton was made al,

Original Intention.
1t was originally designed as q
fiscal proposition, the intention being
to reduce the number Of British
licenses by one-third, that the rest
might be sufficiently increased in
value to warrant the government In
demanding a larger return from them.
II had hardly been introduced.

adopted 1T. Being under considerable
obligations 70 the latter the liberals
could not Tepulse them too roughly.
Before they fairly realized what was
going on the bills original supporters
found that IL had been transferred
into a real temperance measure.
Just a Stepping Stone.
Not only was the liquor trade heav-
/ ly restricted, but all ATTEMPT was
abandoned to conceal the fact that
/ the temperance party meant to make
/ the reduction OF the number OF sa-
| looms a mere step toward total prohi-
bition.
England fought the bill tooth and
nail, but the liberal leaders feared 20
abandon IL, although admitting they
would ike 20 see a way 20 get from

for the arrest of the proprietor of the
Turf saloon which they recommended
should be closed by the city council.
The council instructed the chief of po-

attorney informed the proprietor that
it was illegal and he refused to obey
the orders of the council.
The buck was passed along the line
but the grand jury went into action
and took the matter into their own
hands and had the man arrested.
Whether the action of the body is
legal or not is question that will

Grover Cleveland, twice president

The funeral will take place tOmor

dent and Mrs Roosevelt and the dig
nitaries of the government as well
as by many friends of the former
president and his political associates.
Grover Cleveland was born in New
Jersey on March IS, 1887. He was
admitted to the bar at Buffalo. n Y.
in 1855, became sheriff of Erie county
in 1870. Mayor of Buffalo in 1881. and
in 1882 owing to his record for vot-
ing extrayant appropriations in Buffa-
10, ne was nominated and elected gov
etuor of New York In 1884 he was
elected president over James G.
Blaine; was defeated for the same
Office by Benjamin Harrison in 1883
and was elected again in 1892. While
President in 1886 he was married to
Frances Folsom. daughter of an old
time friend.
When the news of the death OF
Cleveland was flashed to President
Roosevelt he ordered that flags on all
government buildings throughout the
city of Washington be placed at hall
mast. Today all over the union the
national emblem has been raised only
half way out of respect to the forme1
chief executive of this nation.
