With to five white and three colored churches, it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian chnroh. It has increased its population by nearly one-fifth. It has at- traeied around its borders fruit growers from nearly every State in the Union, until it is HOW surrounded on nearly every side by or¬ chards an 1 vineyards. It is the home of the grape an l its wine making capacity has doubled every year. It has successfully inaugurated a system of public schools, with a seven years curriculum, second to none. This is part of the reoord of a half decade and simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natural advantages of having the finest climate, summer and winter, in the world.

The Star is the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the political battle ground of the Republic. Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Star. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past ithasbeennnswerv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It Is for him now—for Cleve¬ land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in our national affairs, and of continued national tranqnility and prosperity. For people who like that sort of Democracy the Stab Is the paper to read. The Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform. It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme postered and cham¬ pioned by the Republican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and locking them up in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against the right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it ‘‘protective taxation;” the Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Star is a great newspaper. Its tone is i ore and wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each issue presents an epitome of what is best worth knowing of the world’s history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur- eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. The Sunday Star is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the sam. amount of matter. Besides the day’s news it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimntible hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carlcton’s delightful letters are of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art arc represented in its col umns, The Weekly Star is a large paper giving the cream of the news thewjrld over, with special features which make itthe_mos complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for .his dollar invested in The Weekly Star than from any other paper It will be especially alert during the cam paign, and will print the freshest and most reliable political news.

There is t hen produced in them a j>ecu liar neurosis, hypnotism, having psvchi cal and physical characters of its own—a genuine disease presenting a diversity of symptoms. Hence hypnotic phenomena ought not to be called forth rashly nor without the precautions suggested by medical science. Women are specially susceptible to hypnotic manipulation, par¬ ticularly during the-period between the 18th and the -.'iOt’i.pwr, when the ner¬ vous system bo is in full activity. Young men difficult may hypnotized, but it is very to produce hypnotic sleep in old men or in children. Persons who in early life are subject to natural somnambulism or sleep walking are later in life good hypnotic subjects, just as they are also likely to be victims of hysteria and other nervous complaints. Many are the processes employed for producing hypnosis. One that is very frequently used consists in fixing the gaze ■upon above some bright object placed a little the eyes and.iu front of the median line of the forehead, so that visual fatigue directed may ensue quickly, tho eyeballs being upward and inward. This pro¬ cess, or others of a like kind, may lie em¬ ployed in the case of persons who have never before been hypnotized. But after awhile, when the subject has, so to speak, been educated, various more expeditious methods may be employed. Thus a jet of electric light or a violent blow struck en a gong near the ear of the subject will quickly induce sleep. Again, in hypno- tizablo persons, tho surface of the body often presents special-points, “hypnogenio zones, ” as they are called, analagous to the ‘‘hysterogenic zones.”. Simple pres¬ sure upon these produces hypnosis. Even in tho case of the most susceptible individuals rarely does sleep appear when they, for the first time, undergo the hyp¬ notizing manipulations, however skilled tho operator may be. There is needed a complete surrender of one’s will and ab¬ sence of all mental preoccupation, and on the part of the company present abso¬ lute silence. In m 9 st cases exhibitions of hypnotization develop, at first, only vague phenomena not easily classified, foreshadowing, so to speak, what will follow later.—North American Review. A Flunky Frontier ‘Woman. On the plains, in Assiniboin, I found a little lady in the larger of the only two stores in the place, who told me that the Indians on a reservation close by had begun to grow restless, and were mani¬ festing tho fact by unusual insolence. Only the day before a dozen of the bravos had come into the store, when she was stark alone in it, and had demanded whisky, a commodity they were not al¬ lowed to touch and no one was permitted to sell. She told them she had none, and they sat, as Indians will, for a long time, us if to show her they would not go away until they got it. Curiously enough, no one came to the store from the settlement. By and by the Ir dians proposed to search for the whisky. She laughed at them and told them they Could search. They did so, peeping and poking everywhere that they could think of. When they offered to go up stairs to her living apartments, she stood in the doorway and told them they must not venture there. She flattened her back against the door and defied them. height, She was less than the ordinary and did not weigh over 100 pounds, but she quailed them with the eye of a brave and determined woman, and when, pres¬ ently, some white men came to make purchases the Indians took themselves off. Only a few nights before that this same woman had seen a wolf in her back yard, and had gone out and “shooed’’ it away with her apron and scolding, just as one of our girls might I do to a cat. I never saw a man that thought more plucky than she. Per¬ haps, though, what no Indian or woll could do might 1?e done by a mouse. But it is beyond all reason to expect the bravest not to fear a mouse.—Albany Fair Journal. Swiss and French Soldiers. There is very little contrast between the Swiss and French soldier. Both wre below the stature of the German, Eng¬ lish and American soldier; inferior intel¬ lectually and physically. The which Swiss war* rior wears a cap helmet, makes him look at once lijie a member of a rural band in America. It is of black cloth, with deep blue trimmings and with black silk braid about the edges. The front is cocked and the rear slopes and has the helmet brim. He wears a navy blue cutaway coat, dark gray pan¬ taloons, and each is decked with a very narrow red cord. At his side is a short, heavy sword always. His side arms are completed by a five-shot 42-calibre re¬ volver, heavy enough to bo used as a bludgeon in close quarters. Also, like the French soldier, the Swiss is armed with a magazine needle gun, and i8 given so much active training that he is invariably * fair marksman. In this, as nearly all continental armies, there is by govern¬ ment authority an inducement for sol¬ diers to become fine marksmen. But the pay of the continental soldier is so low and generally his service so nearly menial that he takes little interest in what he does. The pay is about one-fourth that of the American soldier and less than half of that paid the English.—Cor. Phila- adelphiA Times. Admiral Iloroby says that F.ngland would require at least 180 cruisers to protect her merchant vessels from the enemy’s cruisers, and that she has but forty-two.

J ' - A Charter Applied for and Steps Taken to Make Griffin the Best Light¬ ed Town In tteergla. Iq another column will be found the petition of W. J. Kincaid, J. M. Browner, S. Grantland, A. Randall and others, asking that a charter be granted them under the name of the ‘‘Griffin Light and Water Com pany.” The main object of the company is to introduce the latest improved in candescent Edison electric light lor the lighting of the city of Griffin, in eluding sireets, stores and residences. The provisions for allowing the com pany to erect water or gas works is simply to cover future contingencies and doeB not apply to any present project. The incandesent light is the same as that used tn the Griffin Cotton Facto.y, with the latest improve to opts jthat have been secured for the kinoaia Manufacturing Company’s works. But the plant will have to be entirely separate and of these, and will reqaire a building somewhere near the centre of town. This light is the very best that has yet been invented and so fully an vwers all purposes that it is destined not only to supplant the other ties of electric lights and gas, but it is difficult to'imagine bow.it could be improved upoa. The light is steady, constant, safe, of a good nator col or, and as strong as may be The smallest lamp is sixteen power and running thence up to six ty four and above. As we gather from the talk of one of the projectors, the idea is not to confine the lights to a few squares in the centre of town, but to light to a great extent the whole city. Lamps are to be put up from one end of Hill street to the other, and the whole length of every other important cross street, so that every boose might be reached at night by a well lighted route. In the business centre the lights to be of snob power as ’nlmost to equal the light of day. Business houses and residences can bo lighted by this p'oceBS at less cost than with oil. The mentioned for the sixteen candle er burner for a store is one per month and for residence seventy five cents—and you would be sure that the light for which you is not illuminating some negro cabin, an assurance impossible at The lowest price at which it is nted the city could be given this vice is $2,000 per year. Albany agree to pay over this amount for service. To be able to say that Griffin lighted by the most improved lights is one of the biggest ment ihecity could have, and it will be a monument of pride to every izeu when this is true.
