Of what avail these much-praised slumbers deep? It may be that with sleep the pulses leap, That cheeks assume a tint they never wore, That to Olympian heights our fancies soar; But notwithstanding all our ills we keep.

A little girl, who made very frequent use of the word “guess,” was one day re proved for it by her teacher. “Don’t say ‘guess,’ Mary,” said Miss Jones; “say ‘presume.’” Presently one of Mary's little play mates coming up to her, remarked: “I think your cape is very pretty, and my mamma wants your mamma to lend her the pattern, because she is going to make me one like it.” “My mamma has no pattern,” w’as the prompt reply; “she cut it by presume.” —Texas Siftings.

We were talking about the war, when a one-armed man came up and seemed especially interested. The Major sized him up for an old trooper, and finally queried: “My friend, perhaps you lost that arm in the charge at Trevillion Station?” “Oh, no, sir. It was another charge,” replied the man. “Where?” “Down in a town in Missouri, about five years ago. I charged a man with being a liar, and he cut my arm off with % corn knife.”— <Nu Tori Sun.

Every one of those manuscripts is from a different author, and the whole ten thousand of them will go on buying our magazine at a shilling a copy until the articles are printed.”— London Tit-Bits . FROM SCIENCE TO SENTIMENT. A good authority tells us that not long since a lady and gentlinan were convers ing on the science of grammar. “Pray, madam,” said the gentleman, “what part of speech is a kiss?” “Really, I can’t tell,” she replied, thoughtfully. “I think it must be a substantive,” he continued in an uncertain tone. “A noun?” she asked—“kissing a noun? Then is it proper or common?” smiling at him in the most innocent manner. “Why—why—it is both,” he asserted positively. “I am sure it is both proper and common.” Then, in a whisper, “Let me prove it to you,” —Memphis Av alanche. A SERMON IN STONE. Professor Rocks (of the School of Mines, who is in the habit of lecturing without visual reference to his specimens —reading them with the lingers, as it were) —“This is a specimen of argen tiferous quartz from the lower belt of Colorado. This (taking Up a solid sec tion of a Haverstraw brick, which has been surreptitiously added to the collec tion Oil the table by a facetious member of the class) —this—this (feeling it gently with his thumb) —this, you at once per ceive, is of a totally different character. The quartz from Colorado is of the plei ocene age. This specimen is of very re cent formation. We owe its presence here to the thoughtfulness of an amateur geologist, but it is none the less deserv ing of your study. The exact age of the specimen is not yet settled; but the con tributor is of the asinine age, and when the class is dismissed he may demonstrate to you that the material of which this is formed would make an admirable substi tute for brains—that is, in certain cases.”— Puck. '*■■**&- THE “ARIZONA KICKER”ON THE WEATHER. Our subscribers have been both sur prised and pleased at the Way wc have hit the weather fdr the last two weeks. We didn’t expect td do sii well in the start-off, at the only instrument we had was an old horeshoe, a two-foot rule, and a war map of the battle of Gettysburg, but we made no mistake. Our first prediction was that the fol lowing week would be cold, clear, cloudy, warm and variable, with possi bly rain. We hit it even to the variable. She varied from a frost to such a hot night that, everybody kicked the quilts off, The rain didn’t last but Ihfee days, blit that was sufficient to let Us out. OUr second prediction also hit it pat. We predicted winds, calm, sunshine, clouds, high pressure over the Arctic Ocean, and low pressure around the mouth of the Amazon, with a consider able wobble between here and the Pa cific. She wobbled. We got just what we expected, and from this on wc are going ahead like a scared rabbit hunting for cover. Watch our smoke. —• Detroit Free Press. The Ragpickers’ Villa, Back of the Orleans railway station and only a few moments’ walk from the famous Garden of Plants, says a Paris correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, is a little settlement called the Rag Pick ers’ villa. The streets are alleyways, and the houses, which are about the size of rabbit hutches, arc marvels of quaintness. They are built of sticks and pieces of laths and boards and roofed with bits of sardine and tobacco boxes. These are the little patchwork palaces of scores of Parisian rag pickers, and there these hard working, honest toilers find rest with their families after the labors of the day and night. They are queer speci mens of humanity, to be sure. It is the village 6f want and squalor within the metropolis of wealth and fashion, and no more like Paris than if a settlement of another sphere. A more curious and in teresting spot cannot be found in any city iii the world. It is, perhaps, an open question whether there is more happiness in the humble huts of the lowly chiffon ier* than in the stately structures in the more wealthy quarters. HYPNOTISM. A POWER WHOSE MANIFESTA TIONS SEEM INCREDIBLE. Practically the Same as Mesmerism— Value in the Treatment of Dis ease Capable of In jury When Abused. The term hypnotism is nearly synony mous with mesmerism, animal magnetism, braidism and syggignoscism. Hypnotism is believed to have been practiced many centuries ago; but little, however, is known of its history previous to the time of Mesmer (1778). Since then hynotism has been much studied by many eminent men in the professions of medicine, science, religion and the arts. There came a time when the interest in it flagged very greatly, but a few years ago a revival took place in France, and since then it has been generally recognized as a therapeutic agent and employed by many physicians all over the world. One of the earliest uses of hypnotism was to pro duce a state of insensibility, so that surgical operations could be performed without pain. But it has been applied for many other purposes, and some men, very skillful in its application, use it in the treatment of a long list of diseases both acute and chronic. Nervous affections sometimes yield very readily to its influence. To produce hypnotism, operators have methods which vary somewhat in detail, but the principle is the same. Most all use passes, although some depend almost entirely, if not entirely, upon the fixation of gaze. For reasons which will appear anon, none of the methods employed to produce the hypnotic state will be de scribed in this communication. As to the force generated or liberated in hyp notism, no one pretends to know; but many believe it to be electric, or perhaps magnetic. According to one observer, the description the subjects give of their sensations is that they first feel their fingers tingle and their hands' and foet get cold; then they become sleepy, and when told that they can not open their eyes, they say they hear and know all, but can not open them; then comes sleep, unless it is desired to extract a tooth or do some such work when the subject is not entirely unconscious. Then they know and do as bidden but suffer no pain. They say if the skin is cut it feels as if something were being gently drawn over it, and they feel the forceps applied to the tooth, but that pulling the tooth feels like pulling a peg out of a hole. As to the value of hypnotism as a remedial agent, there is necessarily much difference of opinion. Some physicians consider its range a very limited one, while others think it applicable to a long list of affectidns. The majority of those who ought to know best appear to agree that it will undoubtly prove of very great service in properly selected cases in medical practice. As for its use in surgical operations as a substitute for gas, ether or chloroform, it can never displace them to more than a slight extent, except, per haps, it bo with children. Very many who are about to have an operation per formed must necessarily be so nervous that hypnotism will be quite out of the question. And there will doubtless always exist, persona who will be insensible to the ef forts of operators. Some subjects are easy to hyptonize, while tvith others it is the reverse; to which of these classes a person belongs cannot be known until an effort to put him into the hypnotic state is made. And in the susceptible cases not infrequently several seances are necessary before the power of tf lG opera tor is sufficiently felt. One very important point that the study of hypnotism has brought out and emphasised, says an obsever, is the po tency of suggestion. Doubtless most of the slight aches attd pains that the gen eral practitioner is Called Upon to treat are partly imaginary, and rtll that is nec essary for cure is a certain amount of fSilh on the part Of the patient, begotten by judicious suggestion by the medical man. At first sight this seems to be ft sort of chicanery, but it is impossible to deny it efficacy, and it is much safer'for the doctor to acknowledge, to liimself at least, that it is not his simple remedy which has wrought the cure, but his sug gestion to the patient. We now come to the reason why none of the methods employed to produce hypnotism have been herein described. It is an agent which only should be used by reputable physicians, fot, like others which they employ, it will do much Hahn if injudiciously applied. Were the methods known there would naturally be a tendency on the part of some to try it as a means of amusement, while, without doubt, there are not a few who would use it for no good purpose. That hypno tism may be rightly applied and without injury it must be exclusively confined to physicians, who alone are capable of dis tinguishing between these subjects upon whom it is likely to do good and those likely to be injured by it. It is a well-known fact that persons who are of ten hypnotized finally become so suscep tible that the act is accomplished with the greatest ease. And, in not a few in stances of subjects so treated for a long time, it requires scarcely more than a single glance for the operator to throw them into a hypnotic sleep. So it will be seen that hypnotism might prove a menace to society unless steps were taken to guard agaiust it. The first precaution to suggest itself is the prohibition of all public exhibitions of hypnotism or mesmerism. This re markable power should, if possible, be limited by law to the treatment of dis ease. And the operator should be per mitted to influence his subject only as health may be improved Bouton Herald.
