A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette gives particulars of some reâ€" markable hypnotic experiments he asâ€" sisted at. The operator, St. Quintin, said:â€""There exists no such thing as mesmeric fluid, and the word ‘mesmeriâ€" ser‘ is an utterly mistaken expression. Hypnotism is a certain physical condiâ€" tion. and certain persons are more, of less apt to fall in that condition that can be produced by several methods :â€" 1 F su s ie Om ie ies "1.

By fixing steadily a brilliant point, by flashes of light thrown into the eyes, by the sudden beating of a gong, or by any other means producing & sudâ€" den shock. "4. By suggestion." Having placed his subject in a hypnotic state, St. Quintic told her that she was a little girl (the subject was a woman he had seen for the first time that day, a painter‘s model.) "You are a little girl," he said in a commanding voiceâ€" "No, bhow silly you are! I am twentyâ€" six." "Certainly not. You are just ten, and this is your birthday." "Why, yes," began the subject in a childish voice. "Look here, Henry, what a lovely dolly father has brought me! Ain‘t it sweet ? No. Henry, you can‘t have it. No, no, having been raised. The mark did not disappear until three days later. The evening‘s experiments were conâ€" cluded with one of the most striking exâ€" amples of the results that can be obâ€" tained through suggestion under hyp notism. Both subjects, who had been awakened, were once more put in a hypâ€" notic state. To the first subject, Miss A.. the following suggestion was made : after she would have fian brought back to her normal state she would feel all right again, and converse with us ; she would then be offered a cui of coffee, and immediately after, drinking it she would be unable to pronounce any word b*frinn'm.': with an M. She would go on talking with us, but whenever she came to & word beginning with M she would ‘I)‘u.qs it over, whether she spoke or read. This state would immediately disappear after drinking a glass of brandy. The experiment was eminently successful. She spoke, and omitted every word beâ€" ginning with M. We gave her a paâ€" per to read, and all such words were duly passed without the least effort. She remained unconscious of the fact. _ « number (the house of one of the party where she had never been before,) she would ask for Mr. M. the owner, and while the servant went to call his masâ€" ter she would rush upstairs on the first floor, go to the second door to the left of the stairs; she would then go to a bookease on the rightâ€"hand side of the sub(iect for hypnotism can be made a tool in the hands of unscrupulous perâ€" sons, and a man or a woman who has often been hypnotised has no power to resist other people‘s will. More crimes than can be imagined have been comâ€" mitted with the help of hypnotism. Some i‘ears agoa celebrated case was tried in rance. Two old people fell under the influence of a man and a woman. First the old man died, leaving his whole forâ€" tune to his wife. She made a will in favour of the woman somnambulist,and shortly afterwards committed suicide. The somnambulist then became the wife The second subject, Miss B., was given a more difficult task to perform. She was told that in seven days‘ time she would go at 5 p.m., to such ;‘atAxLeet.sufh room.

On the other side of the continen‘ the small measure of reform in local administration evacted from the Turkâ€" ish government by urgent pressure from England, France and Russia has caused fresh outbreaks of Mussulman fury against the Armenians. Masâ€" sacre bas followed massacre at pOpuâ€" lous centres and in scattered villages, with scarcely a pretence of restraint by the Turkish authorities. In Europe, Constantinople has been the scene of sanguinary riots, due to the same cause.

In the event of a war with that counâ€" try, these are the odds against which we should have to contend at the outset, As against this unpromising opening it will be urged that we are a resourceâ€" ful and energetic people, and that we should quickly create a navy. To this it must be answered that modern navies are of â€" slow â€" growthâ€"they are . not created. The modern battleship, costly and intricate, puts a heavy discount upon mere resourcefulness and energy, of which we have abundance. and it heavy premium upon gun, ship, and armâ€" or building plant, of which, for the magâ€" nitude of the task in hand, we sbould find that we possessed an altogetber inâ€" adequate supply. With every factory, mill and ship yard working at full blast, it would take from seven to ten years to cancel that preponderance of 6 to 1. There is no sentiment in statistics. It is certain, moreover, that Great Britain would steadily add to her fleets as the war progressed; and with _ ber great shipbuilding facilities she could float six ships to our one, as the followâ€" ing facts will show : | In reply to inâ€" quiries instituted by the British Adâ€" miralty last year to ascertain the exâ€" treme warship building capacity of the private yards, it was found that, if these firms were given a free ha~d as to the details of the designs, they could build another navy, equal in fighting strength to the whole existing British nayy, in from two to three years! To this must be added the building capacity of the government dockyards and sho%s. The astounding resources revealed by this investigation call for no elaboraâ€" tion on our part to show that Great Britain could rapidly increase her preâ€" ponderance of naval strength, if cgal- lenged to do so.. 5 d@ow the Two Navies Compare and What Rate They Might Re Increnss« In an article on the strength of British and American navies the Sc Incidentally, in closing, we would reâ€" mark that the ink is scarce dry upon the paper in which our general in chief, Nelson Miles, has just told us that the very opening of hestilities with a great naval power would see every seaâ€"coast city on the Atlantic and Pacific, subject either to the humiliation of an indemnâ€" ity or to the horrors of bombardment. In making the foregoing comparison it is assumed that the United States would not submit to a conflict merely defensiveâ€"that her enterprise would soon cause the field of naval operation to become conterminous with the shore lines of both hemispheres. The estimate consequently assumes that the total force of both fléets would be available. The fact that Europzsan diplomats seam disposed to take the British view of the question at issue makes it highly proâ€" bable that, in the event of hostilities, we should have to engage this colossal navy, with the power of reduplication which lies behind it unaided. ts A strange incident occurred in Bomâ€" bay recently. A monster meeting of Hindu barbers was held for the purpose of considering the question of the improâ€" priety of shaving the heads of Hindu widows, and thereby disfiguring them for life. About 400 barbers havmg asâ€" sembled, one of them, named Babajee More, read a pamphlet in Mabratti, in which he stated that the barbers of old were happy and contented, but latterly, as though a curse had descended on their heads, trade had fallen off and they had become poor. ‘The ‘curse could only be accounted for by the fact that they were committing a great sin in shaving the heads of poor, innocent widows, thus depriving,them of their best ornament. ing thereupon unanimously resolved that no ba.rg:: should shave a widow‘s head, and that if he did he should be exâ€" se ;n a.._, t It was against the Hindu Scriptures to deprive a widow of her hair, and doubtâ€" less it was the curses of the widows that had lowered their calling.

A correspondent asks if wheat can be grown at a profit on land worth $40 per acre, each producing twenty bushels and selling at 60 cents per bushel. The cost per bushel depends very much on the work expended in putting in the crop. The low price of wheat has driven farmers to curtail the expense of land preparation as much as possible. Inâ€" stead as growing it as a crop for proâ€" fit, many grow it as a rotating . and protecting crop to get the land back to clover or grass. They have found that as good crops can be grown after corn as by summer fallowing and at a much less expense. Nearly all the wheat grown in this section follows cOTD. In our estimates we will give an amount of work done that will be above the aver~ age. We will estimate the land rental at 6 per cent. of its value, which will be $2.40 per acre, and taxes 50 cents p°r acre. One team will barrow eight actes per day, lapping oneâ€"balf, making two workings. Rolling will cost the same, making the cost at current rates . for use of team $2.50 per day, 63 cents pet acre. One and a half bushels of M'\"d per acre, 90 cents; cost of drilling, 31 cents per acre. At a rough guess We place the interest on machinery at 15 cents per acre. Culting with harvestâ€" er, 90 cents per acre ; shocking, 20 cents per acre; stacking, 50 cents per acre ; threshing from stack, $1.20 per acre . bauling to market, 20 cents per acre. \With these estimates we have in tabulâ€" Land PAE .. .o.0 u.ce Paxos. .....

A careful and wise use of even the most common of dairy implements will insure better results than will be obtained by A careless, slipâ€"shod manner of conductâ€" ing dairy work, even though supplied with the latest inventions. Whether the work connected with the dai~y b> conducted on ancient or modern principles, the first principle to be inâ€" inculcated is cleanliness. We mean & cleanliness as near perfect as it is poSâ€" sible to attain, carried out in all the work. We want clean cows, clean milkâ€" ers and clean stables. We are aware that very many of our farmers‘ wives and mothers are destitute of certain conditions that go toward making such a success of dairy work as they could wish. â€" With some the milkâ€"room or celâ€" lar has not as good ventilation or drainâ€" age as it should have, consequently the impure air generated is communicated to the milk and cream, which are probâ€" ably the quickest of all known . subâ€" stances or fluids to appropriate and inâ€" corporate any gases afloat, into their stances or Lluids to AppFOPMIANVE ERICEC corporate any gases afloat, into their elements. The milkâ€"room should be a milkâ€"room not a place in which a miscellancous asâ€" sortment of things are kept, from sokpâ€" fat to onions, and should be clean, cool and airy in summer, and in winter warm enough to insure the rising of the cream in the shortest time possible. I{ the milk is set in crocks they should be smooth and glazed, as impurities are apt to collect in unglazed ones. If cans are used, it is well to go over the seams doing. ‘Use the best of dairy salt, and by following directions the result of all your labor will be butter wholesomé and sweet, that brings suggestions of dewy meadows and frgfiunt. clover, instead of a mass of g.l-t.utl.ng, illâ€" smelling _ stuff denominated | butter. Mark Twain alone could sug%est an apâ€" propriate name for much of the butâ€" ter thrown on the market hy careless or â€" inefficent butterâ€"makers. There are women who possibly never heard of a "separator" and to whom _ * swing churns" are unknown, but who neverâ€" theless mann%e to groduoe the _ most toothsome butter, _ butter that is alâ€" ways sought and which can command the highest price. We boarded, "one summer, at a farmâ€"house where the woâ€" man was accomplished in the art of butterâ€"making. â€" Such butter we have scarcely tasted since. It has been our ideal or the quality toward which we have ever tried to attain in all â€" our PRACTICAL FARMING. Mn en en See that all vessels used for nilk setâ€" ting are perfectly dry before using ; not dripping with water as is the cusâ€" tom of some dairy people. Do not wait for the milk to become coagulated beâ€" fore skimm‘ing and upoo m king an adâ€" dition to the cream already collected, stir well so as to incorporate the fresh element with that of the longer standâ€" ing, so that all may ripen evenly. If the amount of cream neoe&-mr{( for a churning can be collected ac about the same time, the butter will be of better flayor or quality, as too long standing of cream injures the flavor of the butâ€" ter [xroductd. Should â€" cream . become mouldy as it is certain to do if left in warm or damp rooms, better throw it to the pigs than use it, even if the mold be ever so varefully removed ; it is full of disease germs, and is in the first stages of . putrefaction. _ In airy situations mold seldom forms unâ€" less it stands too Jong. â€" Churning should never be Yostponed when cream is ripe, until the last minute. A regulâ€" ar butterâ€"maker will know just the right degree of acidity required and when that degree is reached, will churn then. f We care not what kind of churn is used, whether the oldâ€"fashioned dash, or the oscilating of modern .days. It is not the kind so much that we insist upon as proper management of those used. If time is of no moment, then the dash chrun will be used.. However we waive all discussion as to the merits of the oldâ€"fashioned churn. Both have their adberents, who stuzdily contend for their favorites. The cream should be brought _ to about sixtyâ€"four degrees of temperaâ€" ture when ready to churn, in winter, and can more easily be brought to the proper degree by setting the cream reâ€" ceptacle in _ a vessel containing . hot water, stirring often so as to insure even warmth. The experienced butterâ€" maker will readily ascertain the I:roper warmth, while the beginner WoOu d betâ€" ter use a dairy thermometer, and thus save time and patience. _In summer, if cream is warmer than sixty degrees, reduce it to that temperature by placâ€" ing it in cold water, unless other means are at bhand. The butter will be solid in the warmest weather if this method is used. * Cut the butter with the ladle; do not mash or smear it, thus breaking the globules. Wash in cold water, and salt at the rate of nearly two ounces of salt to the pound. The amount of both articles should be weighed and for ease and accuracy evqr{ butterâ€"maker should be provided with scales for so butterâ€"making experience. .

It is a story by Renieri di Rocchi of three generâ€" ations of an Italian family. D, whose family since the early years of the sixâ€" teenth century had produced only comâ€" monplace men and women, married U, whose ancestors, immediate and remote, had been brilliant men and women,with here and there a physical taint that often took the form of ophthalmia and of a degeneration affecting the skin, while others had exhibited psychoâ€"ethiâ€" cal anomalies. D was normal and unâ€" distinguished, like all his recent ancesâ€" tors, and was manifestly the inferior of his wife. She inherited the brillianey of her race, gathered about her an inâ€" tellectual society, and sometimes wrote verse. Her letters to D were clever and charming, though not marked with strong evidences of affection, D‘s chief defect as a husband was a certain inâ€" firmity of temper, marked by occasionâ€" al outbursts of anger. n oT m C in Nee Cns F and a third was unintelligent and abâ€" normal.

THE THIRD CHILD, a daughter was distinguished for exâ€" treme sensibility and . sweetness of character. She was affectionate, charâ€" itable, and selfâ€"sacri/icing. She lost her husband and daughter, however, withâ€" in a month, and became & mad bypochâ€" ondriac, thus exhibiting _the mental taint of the mother‘s family. Two othâ€" er daughters inherited the father‘s norâ€" mal character and apparently not his infirmicy of temper. as they are disâ€" missed with a line. The sixth child, a boy, inherited traits of both parents in a marked degree. He was warmly afâ€" fectionate, and his normal sense Was highly dgvelo%ed. but, like the father, he was irascible, and at times driven to exhibitions of great anger b]‘; trifles. He developed palpitation of the heart toward 30. The inherited literary bent of the mother‘s family took in him the form of graphomania. He married an unusually sweetâ€"natured woman, not of Italian blood and died at 40, leaving &A son and a daughter of tender years.. Here began the third generation. The daughter was a girl of rare intelâ€" lectual gifts and amazing oonfidealce in her own judgment. «Premature old age overtook her at 20.

Millers located on the lower Alme dumped refuse in certain eddies of the upper portion of the stream, and the millers on the Voimede, the Waid, and the Heder claimed that by doing this the water supply of the latterstreams was materially diminished.
