TI10 Federal Klectlon Dill. Hon. llenry Cabot Lodge nnd Grand Master Workman Powderly discuss in Tho North American Review Mr. Lodgo'n famous nntlonnl election hill. Mr. Lodgo says his Mil simply provides for tho appointment of United Btntea of ficers, Boloctod from tho two leading po litical parties, to watch over and report upon naturalization, registration, the conduct of tho congressional election, tho count of tho ballote nnd tho certifica tion of tho membore. Thcso officers hnvo no power to Interfere, Their only duty is to protect tho honest voter, secure evi dence to punish wrong doers nnd mako publlo every fact In connection with tho eleotlon. Tho wholo purpose of tho law inny bo snmmed up In ono word "publicity." When on petition of n hundred persons In any city of 20,000 inhabitants or up ward, or petition of fifty persons In any congressional district that has no town of 20,000 inhabitants or upward, tho law goes into effect, thon tho chief supervisor of elections appoints deputy supervisors and the other officers named. These make returns of tho election to n United States board of canvassers, and it issues a certificate; to tho candidate who from these returns seems to bo elected. In coso their candldato is not tho samo as the ono declared elected by tho local au thorities, then of course tho certiilcato of tho national board takes preference, and their candidate is declared elected. Still, tho defeated man has recourse to tho circuit court of tho Unitod States. Such aro tho loading provisions of what has been called tho, "Forco MIL" Mr. Lodge BayB of it: The president of tho Unitod 8tatee has from the beginning of tho government had power to uso the army and nary in support of tho laws of the United States, and thla general power was ex plicitly conferred many years ago in that portion of tho Kovlsed Statutes which now comes under the title "clTll rlghu." The present bill neither adds to nor detracts from that power, and as the liberties of the country hare been safe under It for at least twenty years It Is not to bo appre hended that they will now be In dat)er. The real ohjecUon to the bill comes from the fact that one of the two great parties believes that free elections Imperil tnelr power. They know that by this bill tho United States officers, taken from both parties, aro appointed by the oourtJ, the body farthest removed from politics. They know that these United States officers will be held tn check by local officers, and be utterly unablo to interfere with the proper conduct of the election. But they know aluo that the result will be publicity, and they bellovo that in conse quence of publicity many districts will bo lost to them. This law Is as fair to one party as another; but lf one party U cheating, that party will suf rer, and where the cry against the law is loudest It Is the best evidence of 1U necessity, and proves that those who resist It profit by the wrongdoing which It seeks to cure. pre equal representation to the people, and It makes the negro a citizen. Equality of representation has been destroyed by the system in the south which makes ono voto there outweigh live or six votos tn the north, and the negro has been do privod of tho rights the nation gave. No people oan afford to stand quiet and see Its charter of government made a dead letter; and no wrong can endure and not be either cured or expiated. Fair elections north and south are vital to the re public If we fall to secure them, or If we permit any cltlien, no matter how humble, to be wrong, ed we shall atone for it to the last Jot and tittle. Master Workman Powderly is opposed to tho Federal election law for many reasons. One is that it will givo too much power to tho nino chief super visors, one for each judicial district in tho Union. Each of the nine will be ablo to dictate tho nominations of his party in his district. Mr. Powderly, be longing to neither political party, says: The fault does not 11a with the people, and thel r rights should not be abridged. There la not one man on the floor of congress today who con con sdentlously or truthfully say that during the can Taos which ended In his election he did not resort to some mean act in order to get votos or to pre vent losing them. The aspirants for offloe are the men who debauch the voters, and the indignation manifested on the floor of congress during tne de bates oa the federal election bill came with a rery poor graoe from many who owed their seats to UUJe tricks, illegal use of money, falno representations and Uie uso of liquor. Tho federal election bill provides that, lf moro ballots are found tn the congressional box than there are voters in the election district, the supervisor and inspector shall be blindfolded and draw out a number of ballots sufficient to equal the excess. Two wrongs never make a right to find more ballots than voters proves that illegal votes have been cast, but it does not right the wrong to draw the tloketa out Indiscriminately. It should flrtt be ascertained who cast the illegal bauou, and then such tickets should be removed or another election called. The froiners of the bill made no attempt to deny that It was lntroduoed because of the In timidation of the negro voters of the south, and there is no doubt that colored citizens In many places in the south were outrageously deprived of their rlghu tn being driven from the polls by the Democrats. Notwithstanding their deprivation of tho right to vote the colored men are repre sented in congress by tho men who deprived thorn of the right to vote, or who were parties to the wrong, me constitution or the united urates makes provision for such emergencies, lf I read it aright, where it says: ltut when the right to veto at any election for the choice of electors for president snd vice president of the Unitod States, representatives in congress, the executive and Judloial officers of a state, or tne members or the legislature thereof. Is denied to any of the male Inhabitants of such state, being 81 years of age and eltltans of the Unitod States, or In any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall bo reduced in the proportion which the number of such male clti sens shall bear to the whole number of male citi sens 81 years of age in such state." It seems to me that the proper thing to do, after the fact is established that a number of negro citizens are not allowed to vote, la to base the representation In congress from this district or state on the number who exercise the right of suffrage therein. It would not be strange yet if tho Prince of Wales died before his hale and sound old mother, no looks tired and fagged, snd is said to be subject to fits of deep melancholy. His health is not at all firm. Victoria has always taken Tory good core of herself, which the prince never did. A now political party wltn a par- Ucnl&rly hard namo ara tho Hetrabmis- 'tlonlsUof Kansas. They advocate the resubmission of tho constitutional pro hibitory amendment to a vote of tho people and favor high license. Among tho steamers that have crossed the Atlantic Inside of six days ore the Majestio and Teutonlo, of tho White Btar line, and the City of Paris and City of Now York, of the Inman line. Tho free use of tho pistol by some pri vate detectives in the New York Central strike calls to mind a certain law ot In diana. This law prohibits the employ ment of private detectives In the sup pression of industrial strikes. The position of tho British mechanic and trades unionist on tho eight hour labor day is this: Ho gooa in for it hearti ly, but ho thinks it ought to como about through agreement between laborers and their employer themselves, and not by parliamentary legislation. This legisla tion ha Is opposed to. Chicago has too much of only one thing, and that is her irroprossiblo smoke nuisance. That is the trail of the ser pent ovor all her boauty. Perhaps tho natural gas which will como to the city through pipes now Ixdng laid will do much to suppress this. It ought to bo enppreesod if there it gas enough in the Indiana aoM to do it. Tlio'Teohnical HlgH Softool. Tho human raoa having stuffed Itsolf with books till ono-hnlf of tho civilized community Is short sighted, and tho other half must tako to spectacles hoforo (t is mlddlo aged, now begins to find that perhaps It has had too much of n good tiling. Instead of cultivating all tho powors aliko It has cultivated tho memory alone, nnd has leamod nil its school lessons simply with a viow of ro mombering them long enough to recite them. That dono tho book learning fadbs out of tho person's mind, and lenvos him nearly ns wo!' off as it found him before ho began to bo learned. What a man learns witii his hand nnd eye, however, Btnys by Mm, and ho is only half a man that is Uko tho Oennan professor tvho understood fourteen lan guages, hut had to call his wifo to nail a plank upon tho garden fonco where a pig hnd rooted it off. We begin to understand that educa tion must ho through tho cyo nnd hand to the brain, and that the oyo and liand must first ho educated or much that comes after is useless; With this knowl edge 1ms como, in responso to a univer sal wont, tho technical high school. It begins whoro tho grammar school leaves off. It teaches tho child geometry, al gebra, physics, political economy, etc. Put Its main -perhaps bestteaching is manual. The student learns technical drawing and wood and metal work and practical mathematics. When ho loaves tho technical high school one year's special training will enable him to tako a high placo in any of tho mechanical or scientific walks of lifo. He is oducato-i nil around. This is tho Wgh school of tho future, tho one that must supersede the present puhlio high school, wlthitsLntin, Orook nnd ancient history. Private technical high schools have been established in various parts of tho country. Tho Pratt institute of Brooklyn Is on excellent typo. Others of tho samo kind aro tho manual training Bchoolsof Cincinnati, Bt Louis and Chicago. But these schools aro so crowded that it Is impossible to accommodate all tho pupils that apply to somo of them, even though tuition must be paid in them, while tho publlo high school is free. It shows unerringly tho drift of popular sentiment, and the publlo high schools must sooner or later adapt themselves to this sentimont. Useless Dig Ships. Now for a good many years wo havo been hearing about tho scantiness and helplessness of tho American navy, con trasted with the power and strength of European war fleets. The tremendous size and thundering cannon power of the monstrous battle ships of Italy and England have been periodically set be fore ns till wo all know about them. Oh, yos, wo all know abont them. Brit now an appalling secret has leaked out. Through Capt. Lord Charles Dercs ford, of tho British navy, wo learn that so far as England is concerned, the&o great whales of sliips that havo cost a mint of mpnoyaro no good on earth. They do to Ho in harbors and make a flno show when Emperor Billy visits his grandmother, but that is all. Borne of them would not hold together long enough to cross the Atlantic lf the weather should bo n bit rough. They can make no spoed at all, and thoy burn in ono month fuel enough to warm all tho poor in London for an indefinite time. So far as battering down New York is concornod they nrd as harmless as a popgun. Let us breatho onco moro. Tho English newspapers are comment ing severely on theso "startling facts." But they mako Americans feel com fortable. Ericsson always contended that small swift ships which could be easily handled were the most formidable for war, and it looks as if he was tight. Our moderate sized new cruisers are in tho right direction. John Burns, who desires to bo tho world's labor leader, made a great mis take at the Liverpool trades union con gross, lie took no pains to concilia to or obtain tho good will of anybody. He launched his thunderbolts at the heads of even his associates who crossed his will without mercy. Tho only real progress over made must bo occomnllshod through harmony and good will, and civility is n debt wo owo to every human being. A largo number of Hungarians lately left this country to return to their native land permanently. They said thoy could livo as woll there as they do hero for far loss money, whilo they do not have to work so many hours a day in Hungary It is a fact that Americans work harder than any other civilized people. But what of it? This is a great country. With all tho British money invested in America, and with tho Canadian Pa cific company in control of a railway through the United States from Detroit to Bon Francisco, war botwoon us and England would bo a very twisted up affair. Cheerful extract from a private letter from 'Washington state 1 "Two horse thievos were hanged on Hangman's crook tho othor day, and two more were drowned In Medical lako last week."

The Ilepublioan Philadelphia Press eayst "The Republican majority of tho senate by Its polioy of delay, dilatory proceedings and surrender is responsible for whatever loss there Is in tho wide spread Republican enthusiasm whioh succeeded Speaker Rood's bold, brilliant and successful policy in tho house." Tho Canadian Paclflo railroad now has nt least one flngor on the United Btates.

Flnloy sums np tho attainments science has thus far mado In tho investigation of tornadoes. Thoy may occur nt any placo In America oast of U10 103th merid ian, nnd nt nny titno, though they aro most common in tho period front March 1 to tho end of Beptomber. May is tho worst month in tho year for them, They form when warm, moist nlr begins to flow undernoath a stratum of coldor, dryer air. Those whirl ovor and upon ono another and produce tho tornado. There aro local signs of n tornado's ap proach usually long onongh beforehand for persons to protect thcmBolvcs from It, as far as protection is possible. Thero aro deathllko stillness and oppreeslvo heat. Dctachod clouds scurry through tho sky toward a common center. In tho west nnd northwest appears a donso bank of black cloud. Bomotimes Li hoard tho roar of tho wind In tho vortos of tho tornado cloud. Tho approaching tor nado cloud of dust, rain, etc., is gener ated by the vortex of whirling air and is funnel shaped, with the small end to ward the earth. The tornado forms in tho northwest nnd passes toward tho east and northeast. To run away from it ono must travol in tho direction opposite to that which it takes. Its usual timo of appearing is tho hottest portion of tho day, generally from 11:30 to 6 in tho afternoon. Finally, no structure that mortal man can build is ablo to witlistand its violence. Tho best houses In tomadlc regions aro wooden ones, from tho fact that when they fall they do not fall so heavily, Tornado caves such as Lieut. Finlcy describes bo low will savo lives, and should be at tached to homes in regions whero such Btonna aro froqnent. Ho recommends strongly tornado accident Insurance pol icies for both lifo and property. Torna does average about 110 a year In this country, and occur just about as often as thoy havo dono ever sinco tholr num ber was first recorded. The underground retreat is described as follows: The tornado cave offers absolute secuiityto Uto and llm'u, and no means of protection can re plaoe ft for that purpose. This retreat may be cuustructed as a cellar cave or as a dujr out. In the former case an excavation is made tn the west wall of the cellar, on a level with the floor, and is carried underground a distance sufficient to provide comfortable quarters for those who propose to occupy tho cave. The overhanging earth must be supported by heavy timbers, end then arched over with masonry ot brick or stone. This extra precaution concerning the roof is necessary to provide aealnst any serious damage to It by falllnir timbers or heavy masses of debris. The excavation Is made Into the west wall, because the storm, always approaching from the west, will cany the debris away from that side. The Aug out Is a tornado cave not necessarily connected with any building. All bouses are not furnished with cellars, and, more over, a tornado cave is sometimes required where there are no buildings, or at least where they are not so situated as to make connection with the cave practicable. Tho Mannerless Sex, It is thus that Oscar Fay Adams char acterizes women in Tho North American Review. Has Mr. Adams, being an east ern man, never seen tho men piling over one another to board a Now York city elevated train morning and oveniug, and knocking both men and womon out of the way, that ho makca tho sweeping as sertion that men in publlo would not bo allowed to treat ono another for half on hour as women habitually treat their own sox. If not, thon Mr. Adams should go nnd look at them. No gorillas in an African jungle,-nojiigs tumbling over ono nnotner at a loou trough were ever more regardless ot tho rights of others. To follow Mr. Adams' own expression, such behavior would not bo tolerated half an hour in any interior or western city. Yet it goes on unchecked, unre bukod even, day after day, year after year, in the metropolis of the Unitod States. Meanwhile, that tho ladies may know just what Mr. Adams charges specifical ly against them, we copy tho following items: First The Indifference with which a woman will contemplate the fact that the convenience of others has been sacrificed to her caprice. Very observable in young women. Second The needless delay a woman often causes in making her appearance when visitors have colled upon her. axost commonly notloed among women who aro no longer dossed as girls. Third The unwillingness of a woman to wait for another to finish speaking before btclnnlng to speak herself. Characteristic of nearly all women. Fourth Woman's failure to recognize the Im portance of an engagement. Most noticeable among women who have the fewest social duties. Chicago, with the vast grain and ani mal producing region around her, tho lake at her front nnd tho lumber regions across and along tho lake, looks confi dently forward to the timo when she will be tho metropolis of the country and Now York its seaport. London, say Chicagoans, is the largest city in tho world, yet it is not much of a port. Liv erpool is the seaport of England. Paris, with over two and ono-quorter million inhabitants, is not a seaport. Neither is Berlin nor Vienna, each with a mill ion and a quarter population. Bo what is to hinder Chicago from becoming the largest city in America? The New York Australian ballot law has been tried in some Bmall municipal elections. It is modified so that the names of the different sets of opposing candidates are printed on separate papers. The ticket the voter uses and that ho rejects must both bo deposited ono in the regular ballot box, the other In a receptacle for unused ballots. The fact that there Is a flourishing Methodist university in tho heart of Utah, that It is even called Utah univer sity, and above all that its president is Rev. Bam Small, is enough to make Brig ham Young and all tho Mormon saints turn over In their graves and howl. Are we to havo nothing left of old story and romancing, absolutely noth ing? It has been found that wherever in the dosert ot Sahara artesian wells are driven an abundance of pure, swoot water gushes forth, and vegetation springs up as by magic. The French are driving many of those wells, and plant ing palm trees which will in course of time yield a handsome revenue.

VOL. 25, N0.38 Should Women Proposer This now question promises to booomo quite as interesting as tho old ono wheth er marriage is n failure. In Bulwer's "Coming Ilooo" H is tho women who do tho courtship nnd pop tho question. Among lions and sparrows nllko It is tho fomalo who chooses tho mate that is most agrccablo to her. Tho lionoss remains a truo and faithful spouse to her chosen ono for three years or thereabouts, nat uralists say, then sho shakos him and gets another one. She has tho matter all in her own hands, or paws, and the lord of beasts has nothing to say about It. Certain un terrified ladlos In England, mindful of tho over increasing army of unwedded maids in tho kingdom, now contend with much earnestness that women, not men, should do tho pro posing. Thus there would be moro mar riages and fewer old maids and bache lors, though considering tho divorce courts it does not necessarily follow that that would bo an improvement. Womon would stand a better chanco of getting tho men thoy wont, whilo mou could only sit bashfully by in a row and wait to bo asked. Mon havo had a monopoly of popping tho question for ages that are quite long enough, nowletitbe tho other box's turn, they say. Thero is ono good result that might flow from It. The great mass of disooutentod and unhappy married ladles could not then blame their husbands for bringing them into misery. Tho misery would bo ot their own mak ing. A Ilrtdffo and Two Tunnels. The project for building a bridge across tho Hudson river botwoon New York and Jersey City is rapidly taking shape. There is no reason, except tho ferry in terests, why a bridge and tunnel both should not bo constructed between Now York and Jersey. Even thon tho facili ties for travol and traffic would be taxed. Tho tunnel is progressing quiet ly, not much being said about it En glish capital is employed in it largely. Meantime the amount necessary to bo gin the construction of the great bridge has nearly all been subscribed and 10 per cent, paid in. Railroad and bank officials have taken the major part of the stock. Another- project still more imposing has taken shape in ths fertile brain of Mr. Erastus Wlman. It is no less than a tunnel from Staten Island to Brooklyn. Brooklyn is now cut off directly from manufacturing interests, because of the expense and difficulty of communication with the rest of the world. A railroad from the southern extremity of the island at Arthur Kill will connect with the tunnel. The tunnel will cross Now York bay at a point some dlstanoe above the Narrows, whero the forts stand opposite each other, one oa Long Island, tho other onBtaton Island. It will striko South Brooklyn at Bay Ridge. This tunnel will afford direct commu nication with Long Island for eight trunk railway lines, and tho freight on coal lone for Brooklyn and the island will pay the interest on tho wholo ooet of the tunnel, $0,000,000. Gorman capital is said to bo backing the Bohome. Tho tunnel will have two tracks. I Speaker Itccd. I The picturcsquo Molno campaign, which resulted in returning Hon. .Thomas Brackett Reed to congress with renewed eclat, has set tho world to talk ing of him again. It is not generally known, but Speaker Rood was educated for tho ministry. He was a poor lad, poor in all but brain and body power. Ho waa profoundly religious, and the Congregational church of Portland pro posed to educate him for tho ministry. He agreed to it, and the church sent him to Bowdoln college But while learning was going into his head theol ogy was ooting out of it, and when Tom Reed graduated ho informed the church that had paid for his schooling that his opinions had changed so that he could no longer consent to bo a preacher. Howovor, ho pnld the money they hod lent him all back scrupulously, so that although a light was lost to tho Congre gational church tho money it had spent on tho youth was not wasted. Reed becamo a lawyer noted for wit and, like many big bodied men, also for indolence. It was often said of him that Tom Reed would mako a groat man if he were not so lazy. Ho appears to havo boon waked up since he went to congress, however. He is a poor man and always has been, bo far as money Is concerned, never even koeping a carriage, which is tho touch stone of a congressman's social standing. In the house he became noted for his wit. In his maiden speech he gave a man who interrupted him a taste of his quality in a biting repartee. Thon ho remarked: "And now, hoving embalmed that fly In the liquid amber of my speech, I pro ceed." Other biting sayings havo boon recorded. Onco an opponent ended on eloquent passage with tho quotation: "I would rather be right than bo president." Instantly Reed turned to him and shouted: "You will never bo either," His opponents might tako a lesson from his unfailing good humor. He is said to wear "a smile like a policeman's club." He is the strictest sort of a party man, and does not bellovo in letting down tho bars to admit any outsiders. Once ho said of trying to conciliate tho Prohibi tionists in Maino: Now, don't let us go fooling after them. Our ted may not suit everybody, but we are lying pretty snug and altogether harmonious and com fortable. If you begin trying to stretch the Uanhet so it will cover this and that outsider the first thing you know you will split it up the mid dle, or you will pull U off some ot your own peo ple at the other side of the bed, and have ihelr tees kicking out la the cold.

In tho long procession that passes bo fore tho cashier of a eatings bank ftro many odd characters.

"Vory woll, madam,'1 answered tho cash! or, looking at tho book, "I thought Iwould mention it today, and then It would not cause any incon venience," sho continued, with ft bright smilo. "Thank you vory much," replied tho cashier. "Como in any timo next week and you shall havo it. Oryott can draw ft today lf you llko.

"No, I will como In next Wednesday, thank yon," nnd alio tripped happily awny with her precious book. Tho "full amount of her doposit" was fjio.oa Not long ago an Irishman explalnod to the cashier that ho wished to draw ft certain amount from tho deposit of n friend, whoso book ho presentod. "Very well," sold tho cashier, hand ing him a printed blank. "Yon must havo your friend sign this order. Lot him put liis namo here, and write 'Pay to Bearer' hero, and we will giro you tho money." Not many hours later Mr. Rlloy ap peared again. He pointed to his friend's namo properly signed to tho ordor, and also an inscription after the printed words, "poy to ." "I don t know what yo wanted that namo there for," ho Bald, "but I wrote it in as yo told me." The "namo" ho had written in was "Pater Barrer." There being no role of the bank against phonctio spelling, Mr. Rlloy re ceived his monoy forthwith. Youth's Companion. l'ell .gnlnst Xngnlls' Skeleton. I used to know Ingalls years ago. Ho was thinner thon than he Is now and looked just about tho same. Ho lived in Atchison, and hnd the reputation of be ing possessed of moro brain and less flosh than nny other adult In Kansas. Ono day ho went up to the ofllco of a friend of his, a doctor, and white ho was in thero a nowsboy dashed in. Now tho kids who sold papers around Atchison in thoso days worO tho noisiest I ever heard, and the doctor's assistant, n cheerful young student, was always on the alert to shut somo of them up and to prevent them from Invading tho privacy of his room with tholr stamping foot and earplorcing yells of "S'n Lousy papers." The assistant had soon this particular boy as he entered tho building, nnd in on Instant hod placed inside tho door way of tho ofllco a full grown skeleton. When the youngster throw tho door opon, and was midway through, ono of his declamations, tho skeleton fell over on him. With a shriek that was worse even than his regular street cry tho boy rolled down ono flight of stairs and tum bled into the street, and his murmurings continued right straight along. "You've scared that boy to his death!" exclaimed tho budding senator, who was overflowing with indignation. Then ho went to the window, nnd bending out called to tho grimy but pallid faced vic tim: "Como back hero, boyj Til buy some of your papers. Ho shan't hurt you." The responso was instantaneous. Tho boy's sobs ceased, and ho shouted: "No, you don'tt You can't fool me if you havo put your clothes on." Interview in Washington Star. The Taloe of Knowledge. A Brooklyn manufacturer paid a bill without a murmur tho othor day, sim ply on account of tho way it was word ed. His engineer found that tho hot water pump would not work and sent for a machinist. Tho latter bothered with it half a day and said it must como apart. This meant a stoppage of the factory for a long timo. It was suggested that a neighboring engineer bo sent for, as ho was a sort of genius in tho matter of machinery. Ho came, and nfter study ing tho pump n whilo ho took a hanunor and gavo threo sharp raps over tho valve. "I reokon she'll go now," ho qniotly said, and putting on steam "she" did go. "Tho next day," says the manufacturer, "I received a bill from him for $23.50. The price amazed mo, but when I had examined tho Items I drew a check nt onco. Tho bill read this way: 'Messrs. Blank & Co., Dr. to John Smith For fixing pump, 60 cents; for knowing how, 125.' Had he charged me $25.60 for fix ing tho pump I should have considered it exorbitant. Bat fifty pents was rea sonable and I rccognlzo the valuo of knowledge; so I paid and said nothing." Brooklyn Eaglo. llypnotlo Cures. A Dr. Hirt, in "Breslau, Germany, has succeeded in making some cures that would havo been set down ns miracles in a moro suiwrstitious ago. A thorough investigation of hypnotism and a knowl edge of how to mako uso of it are well worth tho whilo of progressive Ameri can physicians. Tho son of Privy Councillor Klein, of Breslau, had boen nfulctod with cough and every symptom of consumption for months. In January, 1889, tho cough attnekod him. Ho grow worse and woreo for seven months, whon ho often lay upon his bed nil day from weakness Tho paroxysms were terrlblo, accom panied with expectoration of blood. Early in 1800 Councillor Kloin prepared to tako bis son to Italy, in hopes to pro long his life. Ho mentioned his inten tion to Dr. nirt, who offered to try what could bo dono with hypnotism. Klein gavo his consent, and tho boy was brought to him. Tho physician put tho patient under hypnotic influence by the ordinary method. Thon, with tho boy in tho mesmeric sloop, tho physician told him that he had liod a bad soro throat, but that It was now well, and lie would sleep soundly that night. Dr. Hirt said this repontedly in a clear, decided voico, nnd prwod and rubbed tho boy'u larynx meanwhile. Ho also told him that ho was entirely well, and that ho must say for hlniBolf that ho was entirely well. Tho boy then said, "I am entirely woll." Dr. Hirt treated tho youth Fob. -1, 1890. Next day came tho father, and said no further treatment was needod. In threo months' time tho boy was in perfect health. The othor cure was somowhnt Binillar. In this coso a 18-year-old boy hod been oilllctod for somo weokg with n, hoarse ness that had left him quite voiceless. Dr. Hirt first hypnotized him, then told him tho hoarseness. liad been nil imagi nary, and that he could speak as loudly as any ono. Ills throat was well, tho physician assured him. Then ho bade him ppeak aloud. Ho kneaded and rub bed the boy's throat as ho hod dono with tho other patient. Tho boy thon spoko, a llttlo at first, gradually londer, till in threo minutes from tho first effort ho had quite recovered his voice. Thuw) instances stem thoroughly well authenticated. If they aro so, and if tho ouros really wore perfurmod us reported, thou hypnotism is a boon to physicians. In Russia publlo hypuotio seances aro prohibited, and only physicians are al lowed to practice tho art. A Slim liasls7" Jones I want to have you understand, gentlemen, that I stand on my inorlta.
