IF I with to hypnotise a class or try a larger number, says Carl Sixtue in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, I use a I _ ?1"- tritL copper wire through the centre, which I request the Individual to hold in his closed right hand, retting the hand on the right knee. In the left hand, which he holds open, I place a small errata!, sot in horn, that is polished to a shining black, the left arm ' and hand resting partly on the chest. The subiect is reaueated to gau con tin , ually ioteutly on the crystal prism and ' , not undertake any motions whatever, keeping the same position in which I plaoe him, and to fix his whole attention on stop. After a lapse of seven or eight minutes I commence to make my passes over the subject; at the end of two or ihree manipulations I command him to oMae his eyes; I perform one or two passes more, from the head downward to the knee, place my left hand on his forebead, then press a certain place with my thumb, at the same time pressing with my right band tho subject's right thumb. Another and very effective method, one I often employ when I' attempt to hypnotise ono person single, is to let the' subject gaze fixedly at a lighted candle lor about three minutes, held at such a height that it requires tha utmost effort on tbe part of the subject to look at if. Tbe subject must not wink the oyelida any more than is absolutely necessary, and must draw tho breath doeply and in measured time. Tho subject is told be fore commenciog to bold tho mouth open about one inch; tonguo must be held curved, with tho tip resting parallel with the lower teeth. At the end of about three minutes tho hypnotist lifts his loft hand over the bi\pk part of the subject's head, and, with his fingers spread apart, ho now performs two or three passos downwarl along the spinal uervns, aftefc which the subject is commanded to close the oyet. Tho hypnotist now performs ono or two more manipulations until the sleep is complete. My third method is the fasolnatlog method, which consists principally In making the subject press his hands strongly on mine. Suddenly I push him backward and quickly glance into his eyes. Surprised, ho fecoils, and ini.uediatcly tho impression of his oyes iudi. cates to mo bis degreo of susceptibility. The subject understands by tho sternness of the hypnotizer's eyes on his tUat his oyes must remuin attached to the operator's and follow thorn everywhere, llo thinks himself drawn towards him; it iaa psychically suggestive fascination and in no way physical. ^ There is abo the Donato method. Tho subjects are asked to kueel before tho operator nnd to look steadily into Uis eyes. Standing before thc:n tho opera* tor places his hand oti their forehead and inclines their heads slightly backwards. As soon as they try to straighton them ho directs at their pupils an imperative glance which, if they are susceptible to his influence, hyponti7.es them. If sensitivo persons are experimented with they can also bo brought into the hypnotic state by haying tbein occupy a comfortable position, closing tho eyes, and keeping the right hand cloaod tightly around his left wrist. Then perforin manipulations from the head downwards to the feet, for about ten to fifteen minutes. Theso are tho visible ageucies by which the hypnotist produces hypnotism and may look very easy, but often it is very difficult to produco hypnosis if the conditions nro unfavorable. It follows, as a matter of course, that the one who wishes to bo liypnoti7.ed must givy himself up completely to the hypnotist, and consequently follow the operator's instructions and not eudouvor n wnrlr mrainal alnnn wlinn it nnmtnnnPA* ,u "b""*" 1 to make its appearance. Everybody cannot be a hypnotist. To be one requiras a sound and strong constitution, a determined will and large | practice to learn to concentrate it. There are, of course, a number of people who possess considerable power in that line if they had it developed nrnnerlv: many would only waste their time by tfcrottog tftemsefree ercftwiveiy to hypnotism, becauso if they do not possess special ability in that direction it will not avail them anything. A person cannot make an excellent musician, singer or uuthor by development; ht must necessarily have some talent. During a bypotizing it is a uccessity to ha/e perfect silence in the room where the seance is held, the temperature must be moderate and norma', and under nc circumstance should there be any drafi or tobacco odor. The first degree of hypnotism is somnolence, recognizable by a feeling ol numbness in the body, and light, stupefying symptoms in the head. The second degree is light sleep. Persons in this 3tate of hypnosc still hear everything that is said in their presoucc and have not altogether lost the sense of feeling. The third degree is deep sleep. The subject on being awakened remembers what has been suggested to and perform^! by him during the sleep. The fourth degree is very deep sleep. The subject's own individuality is completely isolated, lie is only en rapport with th* hypnotist. The lUth degree is catalepsy In this slate the hypnotist produces cata'cpsy in one certain inuscle, or certain part of the body where the hypnotist desires catalepsy or la neness to be produced. The sixth degree is somnambulism. Thii condition nre-ents. besides the former I degrees of phono.noun strengthened, I nlso a number of varied symptom). In | this state clairvoyance is often deg veloped. 1 It is nceJIess to remark that it re quires an expcit to be able immediately to discern the different conditions hoc B by his own knowledge of the science t< K understand how to briug the subject B easily from one state to auother. Thlt B knowledge is especially bene icial to the K hypnotist or physician who intends to H e.nploy hypnotism in the curing of dieH ease.

It is said that soino of the most vainible discoveries have been made by accl* lent, and there is every reason to bilieve he statement. Not longsioce, an inexerieuced housekeeper found herself in : dilemma from which she extracted ersclf in a rather convenient and orignal fashion.

Crowding the fire seemed to do no good, ind as there was no time for cooking inything else, she ventured an experiment. Wheat flour was sifted Into the Jink and stirred rapidly to prevent lumps. After n moment's cooking, it was sorved, and, as might be imagined, with u good deal of doubt as to resulta.

There la no doubt that hounds habitually watch the tails of those in front of them when drawing a covert. If a faint drag is detected suggestive of the presence of a fox, but scarcely sufficient to be aworn to vocally, the tail of the finder la at once set in motion, an 1 the warmer the scent the quicker does it wag. Others seeing the signal instantly join the first, and there is an assemblage of waving tails before even the least whimper is beard. Should the drag prove a doubtful one the hounds separate again, and the waving ceases, but if it grows stronger when followed tjp, the wagging becomes more and more emphatic, until one after another the houuds jifgin to whine and give tougue and stream off in Indian file along the lino of scent. When the pack is at full cry upon a strong scent the tails cease to wave, but are carried aloft in full view." The moment whun the dog most enjoys life is the moment when lie sights game. That moment is the time thai he wags his tail most vigorously, in order to announce his discovery to his fellow dogs. In this way, by the lmbil of association, ho got to wagging iiis tail whenever he was pleased, and the more pleased he in the more vigorously lie wags his tail, so that the wagging of the dog's tail, under the influence of pleasura' ble emotion, can be traced directly to the timo when the dog used his (ail as a signal of tho discovery of his prey.?

Hereon North avenue, In a German theatre and beer ball, was started bis "Everybo ly's Mission,' afterward removed to a building of its own near by. Tliia mission, witli attendance of 35'J to 450, he started, built ui> and sustained without aid from any cliurcn or society for five years, until others were able to occupy the Held. He also organizsd and fUperintende I on the North Side, North Avenue Misaion, Ivike View Mission and l^ake View Union schools, and, in Elgin, the (J race Church School, besides several smaller enterprises elsewhere. His tlrst publications were prepared only for his own schools, then, to divide the coat of typr-setting, be askad orders from others. No on* could be more surprised than he at the demand thus created. Afterwards his clioots afforded a plaoe for first testing new i helps and new ideas.
