SOME FORMS OF HYPNOTISM

That Is New.

HypnOtizing q hen is q trick known
to most country boys. It is an old
experiment. first described by the Jes-
nit Father Athanasius Kircher, who
laid hen on the table, held it firmly
for a little while, and drew q chalk
line in front of it's eyes, with the re-
suit that it remained as if in catalepsy.
III India it is known that q cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain SO
for a considerable time, either coiled
up or out straight.
A frog fastened to a board and
turned suddenly upside down goes into
a trance. Other animals are SuScep-
tible to this treatment, some more
quickly than others.
If you pick up a crab and wave 1t
in the air it becomes immObile, a fe-
male bending her legs over her abdO-
men, a male sticking them out almost
straight. The same is true of the

WHERE WOMEN SELECT MATE
meath the Dignity Of Men to
Take Time to Court.

So far as proposals of marriage are
concerned, in New Guinea it is always
leap year, for in that island the men
consider it beneath their dignity to no
t1ce women, much less to make over
lures of marriage. Consequently, the
proposing is left to the women to do.
When the ebony belle falls in love
with man she sends a piece of string
to his sister, or, if he has no sister,
to his mother, or another Of his lady
relatives.
Then the lady who receives the
string tells the dusky brave that the
particular damsel is in love with him.
No counting follows, however, for it is
considered beneath a New Guinea gen.
tleman's dignity to waste time in such
q pursuit.
If the man thinks he would like to
wed the lady, he meets her alone, and
they decide straight away whether to
marry or drop the idea.
In the former case the betrothal is
announced. The man is then branded
on the back with charcoal, while a
mark is cut into the woman's skin.
No breach-Of-prOmise actions are
possible in New Guinea, though If the
lady is Tilted her friends may hunt he1
lover up and "go" for him. On the
other hand, If the dark damsel proves
faithless, she is liable to be eaten by
her betrothed If he catches her.

LET IN THE LIGHT. - The Chi
cago Teachers league in its letter
commencing Mr.. Jacob Loeb for his
courageous services as president of
the board of education virtually init
mates that he dropped teachers from
the system because they are fedora
tiOnists. This is rather an equtVOcat
compliment to the gentleman, as it
would imply him to be guilty of con-
tempt of court, since court decree
has established a teachers right to
membership in that organization.
The letter is also a decided ar
raignment of the various supervisors,
principals and superintendent, in
Guiding Mr.. ShOop, whose recon-
mendatiOns were set at naught last
June.
AS the principal is expected to
mark his teachers on efficiency, mo-
raIity, loyalty and community spirit,
and most of the people dropped had
been labeled desirable" by educa-
tional experts, paid good salaries for
such service, the league evidently
confirms Mr.. Loeb in regarding the
supervisory force as unfit for their
positions.
Was the manner of kicking out
such men and women as Mr.. Dodge,
Mr.. Cox, Miss English, Mr.. Apma-
doc and others, who had given the
best years of their lives to our
schools, an act to excite the leagues
admiration? If these people had be-
come unfit for service, wouldn't
common decency dictate that they
be privately asked to resign? As one
alderman expressed it: "a man
would, treat an old horse better than
thatr'

Why did not the members of the
league, who so Valiantly cOurted the
715 per cent cut last year, turn back
that amount of their salaries into the
treasury if they considered the fed
Grafton methods reprehensible?
Then the board could have handed
larger raise to the manual training
teachers.
The question arises, does the
league represent the grade teacher
or some other branch of the edUca-
tiOnal corps who never have had to
be 'it'' when the board saw fit to re-
trench?
The league desires "a tenure of Of
flee" Wasn't the abolishing of the
tenure of Office and merit rule the
great patriotic, manly act devised
and perfected by Mr.. Loeb?
Shame on you leagUers! Are you
losing confidence in your patron
saint this early in the game that you
could want to tie his useful hands?
Let your light shine more fully on
us who grope in darkness. What
was the matter with the abolished
