a half b-eed Blackfoot come into Fort
Randal, on the Missouri river, with a
las full ff nnircets and a story of pold
Oejiosits of incivuible rk'.nfh oa Cabin
creek, a branch cf the JCorth fork of
the Cheyenne river just west of what is
now the ilontana bonndary line. As
they were old mountain men, and Car
son having a great reputation a a gnide,
everybody went crazy. Xo white man
was supposed to have ben within 500
miles of the place, and indeed men were
being cut off by Indians within five
miles of the fort.
Carson and Kinr.ey went on a week's
drunk, and Boon gambled away their
gold, but shoved no dis;iim to take
a party to the new Eldorado. The
United States officers at the fort dis
credited the whole thin;:, and dissuaded
the crowd from following it op, but
men started cut and cone returned, and
hundreds tried it from time to time. The
Indians no doubt knew of the existence
of gold there, and of conrse wanted to
keep the whites out, and they did ef
fectually for tlirty years. A thousand
lives and a mountain of treasure were
spent in seeking the location in vain,
and it was believed by the old timers to
be a fraud from the first. Neither Car
son nor Kinney ever made the attempt
to seek it again, but both repeated their
original story from time to time. So
this is about the truth as to the Lost
Cabin Ifiuanza.
White's Cement mine is much more
remarkable as a narrative. White was
a New Etiglander, sixty years old, who
Lad come to Calif ornia in ls42. As a
gold seeker he was known and talked
about in every mining t amp on the coast
and stories related of his phenomenal
luck. Lie no doubt made many fortunes,
but was always ji-ir, und tramped about

warned that his life would not lie worth

Jiyoktanin has been nsed with consider

Among the Rabines, who dwell to the
north of the Columbia river, a large un
der lip is regarded as a tyje of beauty.
A small incision is made in the lip dur
ing infancy and a fragrant of bone in
serted. This is replaced from time to
time by larger and Lirger fragments,
each operation being attended with se
vere pain, and at length pieces of wood
meat tiring not less than three inches ia
lencrth and an inch and a half in width,
are inserted, causing the lip to protrude
1 1 a frightful ext nt. A similar custom
exists among the Paraguay Indians, and
the'labneta worn by the Botocudos are
inserted in a slit made in the lower lip.
A Eotocudo has lx-en noticed to take
a knife and cut a piece of meat on it and
tumble themeatmohismouth. Among
the Hydahs (Queen Charlotte islands) it
is considered a mark of the lowest breed
ing to be without this labial ornament of
the lower lip. When a young woman
and an old one quarrel the tdderly dame
will reproach the younger with her
youth, inexperience and general igno
rance, pointing, were further proof
necessary, to the inferior size of her lip.
This lip" of beauty is not, however, pe
culiar to these aborigines, but is com
mon among some of the African tribes.
The Berrys, for instance, who inhabit
Sanbriat, a tributary of the Nile, insert
in the lower lip a piece of crystal an
inch in length. The Bougo women in a
similar way extend the lower lip hori
zontally till it projects far beyond the
upper. The mutilation of both lips is
observed fcmong the women of Kadje,
in Segseg, letween Lake Tsad and the
Eeuwe, Brooklyn Eagle.

An army of miscreants misuse hyp
notism to obtain money from their vic
tims. They are coiihtautly exposed by
third parties, but seldom lose their
power over their dupes, on account ot
the mesmerized condition of the latter.
Lower still in the depths of sin are
tlx who call themselves "massage
magnetizers," "massage hypnotists," or
those who advertise -"t 1-ctric baths,"
"massage baths," "magnetic baths' and
"magnetic treatment" There is no rea
son for their existence, unless it be in a
correctional or penal institution. Last
ly there are the artists, professors or
fakirs, who give public exhibitions ot
the hypnotic process. Some of these are
honest and upright, others are unscrupu
lous and mercenary wretches.
All of them, however, are to be care
fully avoided by sensible people. They
are to be avoided even more by young
boys and girls than by grown folks. If
any one desires to see the marvels of
hypnotism, let him or her go to their
own family physician, and either he or
some other member of that noble profes
sion will satisfy curiosity without in jury-
to bodv, brains, minds or morals.

way, therefore, it is well to bear in mind

and a London lady were one day occu
pants of a railway carriage. The train
had been wailing long at a certain sta

starting, when the worthy remarked:
"They're a giv, tan-rlesome lot here.

Thing That Affect the Hypnotic State.
The differences in the climates appear
to have great influence on hypnotic sus
ceptibility. Southerners and altogether
thso who have been exposed to the
tropical heat are much more easily in-
fiuenced than those who live ta the tem
jierate or frigid zones. Hypnosis not
only apiears sooner in the tropical cli
mates, but it is usually deeper, and the
more complicated conditions of the
states invariably ap;ear immediately
The hypnotic susceptibility does not de
pend on these circumstances alone.
There are many other conditions which
we must find partly outside of the indi
vidual and partly within. It is neces
sary to especially notice the different
tempers of mind, such as delight, sor
row, etc.
What also works against coming into
the hypnotic state is overexertion, either
mentally or lxxlily, an empty or over
loaded stomach, excessive use of certain
nourishing su!stances, liquors, strong
spires, coffee or tea. All these coali
tions more or less prevent or distnrb the
coming Lvpnosis. Furthermore, out
ward influences, such as temiorature.

"Friend Elizabeth, wilt thee go with

"I should I very glad to," she an
swered.
"Wilt thee go this morning?" he asked,
and upon her assenting they set off for
the studio. When they arrived they ex

Whittier seemed to Mrs. Sargent to be
preoccupied and to be in haste to call
tier attention to something else, in a
moment he said:

there was a portrait of Whittier himself.

An nonest bwede tells Lis story in
plain but unmistakeable language for
the benefit oftne public. "One of mr
children took .severe cold and jot the
croup. I (rave her . teaspoonfdl of Cham
berlain s Coc-h Remedy, and i
minutes later I gave her one more. By
this time she had to cough up the tsatker-
ing ia ber throat. Then she weatioeleep-
.nd siept good for fifteen minutes. Then
she got up .nd vomited; then she- went
back to bed and slept good for IKe re
mainder ol the night. She got tbe cronp-
the second night and I gave her the rem
edy with the same good ref nits. I write
this because I thought there might be
