People Susceptible to Hypnotism.
Persons of a nervous constitution, and
in particular those subject to hysteria,
are most apt to fall into artificial sleep.
There is then produced in them a jtecu
liar neurosis; hypnotism, having psychi
cal and physical characters of its own—a
genuii: ‘ disease, presenting a diversity of
symptoms. Hence, hypnotic phenomena
o'n -'it not to 1.-.-e iii- 1 forth ra-l ly not
without the precautions by
medical science. Women a■■ spot ialiy

13th and tl 1 Soth y ear, when thu ner
vous system is in <mi activity. Young
men mav Lo .11 v*;>iioti.-*e*l - but it is very
j difficult to produce hypnotic sleep In old j
men or in children. Persons who in enrly ;
life are subject to natural somnambulism
or sleep walking are biter 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 some bright object placed a little
above the eyes and in front of the median
line of the forehead, so that visual fatigue
may ensue quickly, the eyeballs being
directed 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 tiie 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
on a gong near the ear of the subject will
quickly induce sleep. Again, in hypno
tizable persons, the surface of the body
often presents special points, “hypnogeme
zones, ” as they are called, analagous to
the ‘'hysterogenic zones.” Simple pres
sure upon these produces hypnosis.
Even in the case of the most susceptil Io
individuals rarely does sleep appear wlv n
they, for the first time, undergo the hyp
notizing manipulations, however skilled
the operator may be. There is needed
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 most 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 Flncky Frontier Woman.
On the plains, in Assmiboin, 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 1: id
begun to grow restless, and were mani
festing the fact by unusual insolence.
Only t he day before a dozen of the braves
bad como into the store, when she v. as
stark alone in it, and had demand J
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, as if to show her they would rot
go away until they got it. Curiously
enough, no one came to the store from
the settlement. By and by the Indians
proposed to search for the whisky. She
laughed at them and told them they
could search. 'They did so, peeping aud
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 mt
venture there. She flattened her back j
against the door and defied them.
She was less than the ordinary height, |
and did not weigh over 100 pounds, Lut |
she quailed them with the eye of a brave i
and determined woman, and when, pri: -
ently, some white men came to make i
purchases the Indians took themselves ;
off; Only a few nights before that this :
same woman had seen a Wolf in her I
back yard, and had gone out and ;
“shooed” it away with her apron and
scolding, just as one of our girls might
do to a cat. I never saw a man that I
thought more plucky than she. I’i r- ;

could do might be done by a mouse. Eat |

Swl.'s and French. Soldiers.
There in very little contrast between !
the Swiss and French soldier. Both ure
below the stature of the German, E. >
li ; h and American soldier; inferior ii.. 1-
i kctually and physically. Thehwiss w./>
rior wears a cap helmet, which ma’.o;
him look at once like a member of a
rural band in America. It is of bl:
cloth, with deep blue trimmings am)
with black silk braid about the cd..- s.
The front is cocked and the rear slopes
and has the helmet brim. He wears a
navy blue cutaway coat, dark gray j ;.:i- j
taloons, and each is decked with a very
narrow red cord. At his side i.s a shbrt,
heavy swor 1 always. His side arms are
completed by a five-shot 42-calibro re
volver, heavy enough to be used r.s n
bludgeon in close quarters. Also, like tho
French soldier, the Swiss is armed with a
magazine needle gun. and is given . o
much active training that he is invariably
a fair marksman. In this, as nearly all
continental armies, there is by govern
ment authority an inducement for rob
! diers to become tine mark. men. But
the pay of tho continental soldier i.s sc
low and generally his service so nearly
menial that he takes little interest in wl.e.t
he does. The pay is about one-four; h

Artificial Ageing of Whisky.

were equally good, he said, in color. Ii j

yet the 1887 sample was sold at $lO 1 ss I
a barrel than the other. In other words. |
the whisky makers can now furnish a ;
three months’ article equal in every r *• ,
spect to that which is three years old.
By this process t-hey save the ti- -ug ■
years' storage, interest and evaporat: n. •
The purchaser generally gets the ben* lii :
of this. The new process consists bri< !
of rocking the barrels day and night < :i ;

barrel is burned out before tiie whisky i.-.

Colors of the Alpine Sky.
When the Alpine sun is setting, or,
l better still, some time after it has ret,
leaving the limbs and shoulders of the
' mountains in shadow, while their snowy
crests are bathed by tho retreating ligk:,
i the snow glows with a beauty and solei-i
--: nity hardly equaled by any other natural
phenomenon. So, also, when first illui :-
ined by the rays of tho unrisen sun, the
mountain heads, under favorable atu;< -
; pheric conditions, shine like rubies. Aral
i all this splendor is evoked by the simple
i mechanism of minute particles, theni
; selves without color, suspended in 1 lie
air. Those who referred the extraorc 1-
i nary succession of atmospheric glows,
witnessed some years ago, to a vast and
violent discharge es volcanic ashes, w<to

I floating residue of such ashes would un

A DIPLOMAT'S DINNER,
A Plain and Cheap Banquet Where Every*
body Was Extremely Well Pleased.
Some years ago an accomplished diplo
male at Washington, the representative
i f a power not of the first importance,
expressed his regret to*a friend that he
could not give dinners, “because,” he
said, “my government is poor, and I
cannot afford it.” The conversation oc
curred at the profuse and splendid table
of a rich and courteous host, whose feasts
were of great fame, and whose invita
tions were credentials of admission to the
best society. A young diplomatic com
rade who sat by heard the remark, and
smiled as he said: “My government is
poorer than yours, and I am but lately
arrived. But what is diplomacy without
dinners? and lam going to give one. It
will not be like this, but the splendor is
not an essential part of the feast. I shall
give a plain and cheap dinner, to which
I invite you both.”
His manner was gay, and his invita
lion was gayly and gladly accepted be
cause he was one of the delightful men
in Washington. His colleague, however,
I who had spoken first, shrugged his
shoulders, and said that, for his part, bo
couldn’t do it; he couldn't ask people to
come to his house and eat a poor dinner.
“Not so fast,” replied his friend; "I
didn't say a poor dinner, but a plain and
cheap dinner. I. hope it will be good,
nevertheless, although there may be no
baked carp or stewed nightingales'
tongues. But come and see. ”
The young minister of the small and
poor kingdom was one of the most ac
complished men in Washington He was
known to have corrected a justice of the
supremo court in regard to a decision of
a United States court in a western state,
and to have made the correction in Eng
lish, which was a foreign tongu■ to him.
but in English so exquisitely chosen an 1
I urbanely expressed that the justice was
I probably Unconscious of th" mortification
of the correction. The young minister
had no foolish, fond reserves. • 'My gov
ernment is poor, 1 am poor, wo arc all
poor in my country,” ho said, “and I
and my secretary work like day laborers
here in Washington to acquire and to re
port necessary information to my gov
ernment.'' But nobody was more sought;
there was nobody whose coming more
surely brought pleasure to any circle
than that of the young minister.
The day of the, dinner came, and a
plainer and pleasanter dinner was never
known in Washington. Every guest,
from the secretary of state .-.nd the Et-.g-
I lisli envoy to all their neighbors at table,
gave every week, indeed, repasts much
i more magnificent. But the simple din-
I ner. admirably cooked and served, with-
I out display of table service, without the
I carp and nightingales’ tongues, but with
■ the enlivening and inspiring charm of
: th" ho-t and the welcome variety of
1 plainness, after th" luxurious extrava
gance and ostentation of the usual din-
I ner. was so fresh and delightful that the
; satisfaction and pleasure were universal,
' and the skeptical colleague who had
thought great cost csseiiti:.; to a success
ful dinner owned himself converted, ami
the next month ventured upon a similar
feast, ami with the same success.—

The Fat Man Tricki
Stage tricks and illusions have an un
dying charm even when the Veil of
mystery is raised. It was the Celebrated
family of Ravels that invented the fat
man trick, and now we have an exposi
tion of the manner in which that seem
ing marvel was accomplished. One of
the actors in the pantomime sits at a
table and ravenously eats dish after dish
of food that a servant brings on to him.
Presently the man, who like most raven
ous eaters was rather thin and scrawny,
begins to grow plump. His clothes fit
him snugly. His waistcoat steadily
swells out under the very eyes of the
audience.
All the while .he is eating like a Sait- j
sage machine. In a few minutes he has
grown to be a giant eight or nine feet
tall, and with tlie proportions Os an in
flated balloon. The food eaten is all
•■property food,” made of tissue paper,
that the actor chews up into little balls
and takes out of his mouth when occa
sion offers. His clothes are all of rubber
and made to fit air tight around the
wrists and neck. In sitting down he
puts the heel of one boot over a little
trap in the stage. An assistant below
immediately couples a tube running
, from a bellows to a hole in the boot heel.
i Then he blows him up. By the time
that the suit has grown so big that the
' inhabitant has to have a lantern to move
' around in it, the wind supply is cut < ts?
and the boot heel is plugged up. Then,
by an ingenious arrangement of springs
under the actor’s feet the height is ac
quired.—Detroit Free Press.
The Legion’* Iron Discipline.
Many desertions continue to take place
from the. French army in Tonkin. All
the deserters who are recaptured are shot
without compunction. Lately eighteen
soldiers of the Foreign legion ran away
I from Soqthay with a lot of arms and ac
' conferments. They were caught in the
• mountain defiles after a chase which
■ lasted a considerable time, and the eiglit
j ecu wore condemned to be shot at once.
' It is said that when the men were drawn
up in single file in front of their graves
: the adjutant who was in charge of the
I tiring party cried out with an oath, on
I seeing some of the doomed men fail
I slightly out of their alignment, “Can’t
I you fellows keep your dressing better than
that? Eyes right! Dress!” No sooner
l was the command given than the prison
j ers with parade like punctuality straight
; cried themselves up and obeyed as if they
I were on the drill ground or at a review,
j Then the fatal command was given, mid
! the eighteen men went down before the

Watering the Di valves.
I “Always have your oysters opened
- while ycu wait,” said a Brooklyn coaler.
I “Why? Because, although you pay five
cents a quart more for them, you will
save money. It is the custom of oyster
dealers who open oysters the night before
they are sold to throw them into water.
■ An oyster will absorb about one-third its
, weight in water, and so the purchaser
I pays one-third of his money for water,
■ which he can add to the oysters himself
if he wants his bivalves watered. "'—New
York Evening Sun.
Utilizing Apple Pomace.
Apple pomace was once thrown away
at all #ie great cider mills, as it was
though! to possess no value as food er
manure. It is now sold to be used for
; both purposes. Not a few dairymen pay
good prices for it to feed to milk cow.?.—
