Iv; V- ' ' ' A HYPNOTIST AT WORK. HOW HI II*DUCKS A SOKNAKBUXjISTIO CONDITIO!* IN SUBJKCT8. There Are Varlona Way. pt Produc. ing Hypnotism?What the Sensations of a Hypnotical l*erson Are. IP I wish to hypnotise a class or try a larger number, says Carl Sixtus in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, I use a xinc button with a copper wire through the centre, which I request the individual to hold in his closed right hand, resting the hand ou the right knee. In the left hand, which he holds open, I place a small crystal, 6ct in horn, that is |>olisbcd to a shining black, the left arm and hand resting partly on the chest. The subject is requested to gaze continually intently on the crystal prism and not undertake any motions whatever, keeping the same position in which I place him, and to fix his whole attention on sleep. A.fter a lapse of seven or eight minutes I commence to make my passes over the subject; at the end of two or *KrP? rt\oninnlntinna T onmnnonil Ulm I ? Uftwv U M * |J\|| M v i v/ ! >! ?. vwiuiuauu UIIU IV close bis eyes; I perform one or two passes more, from the head downward to the knee, place my left hand on his forehead, then press a certain place with my thumb, at the same timo pressing with my right band the subject's right thumb. Another and very effective method, one I often employ when I' attempt to hypnotize ono person single, is to let the subject gaze 6xedly at a lighted candle lor about three minutes, held at such a height that it requires the utmost effort on the part of the subject to look at it. The subject must not wink the eyelids any more than is absolutely necessary, and must draw the breath deeply and in measured time. The subject is told before commencing to hold the mouth open about one inch; tongue must be held curved, with the tip resting parallel with the lower teeth. At the end of about three minutes the hypnotist lifts his left hand over the b\ck part of the subjoct's head, and, with his dugers spread apart, ho now performs two or three passes downwarl along the spinal uervns, aftot which the subject is commanded to close the eyes. The hypnotist now performs ono or two more manipulations until the sleep is complete. My third method is the fascinating method, which consists nrineimllv In i I C J making the subject press his hands strongly on mine. Suddenly I push him bnckward and quickly glance into his eyes. Surprised, ho fee-oils, and immediately the impression of his eyes indicates to me his degree of susceptibility. The subject understands by the sternness of the hypnotizer's eyes on his ttiat bis eyes must remain attached to the opefcitor's and follow them everywhere, lie thinks himself drawn towards him; it is a psychically suggestive fascination and in no way physical. r There is also the Donato method. Tho subjects are asked to kneel before the operator nnd to look steadily into his eyes. Standing before them tho operator places his hand on their forehead and inclines their heads slightly backwards. As soon as they try to straighten them he directs at their pupils an imperative glance which, if they are susceptible to his influence, bypontizes them. If sensitive persous are experimented with they can also be brought into the ? - hypnotic state by haying them occupy a comfortable position, closing the eyes, aud keeping the right hand closed irvKflff uPAitnH Kin loft mriaf TKon ??? ft ui? *V* v niiiivi ? UQU |7Cl* form manipulations from the head downwards to the feet, for about ten to fifteen minutes. These are the visible agencies by which the hypnotist produces hypnotism and may look very easy, but often it is very difficult to produce hypnosis if the conditions are unfavorable. It follows, as a matter of course, that the one who wishes to bo hypnotized must give himself up completely to the hypnotist, and consequently follow the operator's instructions and not endeavor to work against sleep when it commences to make its appearance. Everybody cannot be a hypnotist. To he 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 nronerlv: inauy would only waste their time i?jr devoting ttiemsefve* excursively to hypnotism, because if they do not posses* special ability in that direction it will not avail them anything. A person cannot make an excellent musician, singer or author by developmentj lit must necessarily have some talent. During a hypotiziog it is a necessity to liare perfect silence in the room where the serinee is held, the tern nornture miiaf be moderate aud normal, and under nc circumstance should there be any draft 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 degreo is light sleep. Persons in this state of hypnosc still hear everything that is said in their presence 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 performed by him during the sleep. The fourth degree is very deep sleep. The subject's own individuality is completely isolated. He is only en rapport with the hypnotist. The tilth degree is catalepsy To this state the hypnotist produces cata'cpsy in one certain muscle, or certain part of the body where the hypnotist desires catalepsy or la ncness to he produced. The sixth degree is somnambulism. Tbu condition presents, besides the formor degrees of phenomena strengthened, nlso a number of varied symptoms. In this state clairvoyance is often developed. It is needless to remark that it r? quires au expert to be able immediately to discern the different conditions anc by bis own knowledge of the scienco t< understand how to bring the subject easily from one state to nuother. This knowledge is especially bene Icial to the hypnotist or physician who intends to employ hypnotism in the curing of disease. There it depends largely on producing the conditions bjst adapted to the patient's complaint and in knowing the movement most convenient to give su/gcstion?, which are used in the majority of case*.

The Newcoraen Engine, which preceded Watt's moro perfect machine, required a boy to alternately turn twe cocks, one of which let the steam intc the cylinder, and the other admitted th( jet of cold water to condense it when it; work was done.

Not loogsince, an inexrrienced housekeeper found herself in ; dilemma from which she extracted .erself in a rather convenient and orignal fashion. Being left alone in the louse for a few days, she was somewhat iisconccrtcd by the arrival of unexpected quests. It was necessary to prepare a insty breakfast in order that they might vet an early train; the oatmeal, there'orc, was partly cooked the night before ind was set on the back of the kitcheo ange to be ready for the morning. As jften under such circumstances, the proportions were somewhat out of order, ind when the breakfast time canlh the >atmeal was little better than porridge. Crowding the fire seemed to do no good, ind as there wa3 no time for cooking mything else, she vontured an experiment. Wheat flour was sifted into the disk and stirred rapidly to prevent iumps. After a moment's cooking, it was sorved, and, as might be imagined, with a good deal of doubt as to results. But the unanimous verdict of the party ;hat it was the best oatmeal they had iver tasted set doubt at rest and ' taught :he housekeeper a very useful lesson. TQB COCKROAOn PEST. Cockroaches are somewhat of n nut-] iance when they become too numerous about a house, but they are at the same time useful in destroying bedbugs, especially in ships and in the tonements of our large cities. There are several species known under the general name of cockroach, but perhaps the most commou is the Blatta orientalis, a native of the East Indies, but now pretty well distributed over the world, and perhaps this is the one of which you complain, but we are not certain in the absence of specimens. In the Oriental cockroach the females have only rudimentary wings, end those of the males arc slightly shorter than the body. This species may be destroyed by placing phosphorus paste in their hiding places or in the rooms frequented by them at night. A good way to wage war upon this pest is to put a little of the paste on bits of 1 paper ana lay tnese about the room 1 where the roaches are most abuudaut 1 jand late in the evening, after the family 1 have retired. Then let some one get up * 'early and gather up the poison and sweep 1 up the dead cockroaches which will be < found lying about on the floor. The 1 'kitchen is the riom usually most fre- 1 quented by the roaches; consequently is ' the best one in which to poison them. 1 Repeat the operation as long as afly dead 1 cockroaches are to be found. As the 1 young roaches will be hatching out as ' long as there are any eggs left, it will be 1 necessary to use a little poison once a 1 week for a month or longer. We have < known badly infested houses to be en- i tirely cleared of these pests by the use of phosphorus paste in the way we liaise ' described. Most druggists keep this 1 paste on sale, for it is largely used tor 1 destroying rats, mice and other veriniu. i ?New York Sun. 11ECIPBB.

Robinson, the ingenious nan of science who experimented with tables in a London workhouse in order to moto their descent from monkovs, has a rery interesting article In the Contemporary Rerlew entitled "Canine Moral* Mid Manners." It practicnlly comes to this, that tho dog speaks with its tail"P -- - J Dr. Roblson says: "In the caso of ill hunting doge, such as foxhouuds, or evolves which pack -together, tho tail is carried aloft, and IsJve#&>fr?e in movement. It is also, frequently rendered more conspicuous by the tip being white, ind this is almost invariably the case when the hounds are ef mixed color.

Others seeing the signal instantly join the first, and there is an assemblage of waving tails before even the least whimper is heard. Should the drag prove a doubtful one the hounds scparite again, and tho waving cease*, but if it grows stronger when followed qp, the wagging becomes more nnd more eiu phutic, until one after another the hounds f>egin to whine and give tongue and dream off in Indian die along the lino of scent. When the pack is at full cry upon a strong scent the tails cease to ivare, but are carried aloft in full view." The moment when the dog most enjoys life is the moment when ho sights ^ame. That moment is the time that he wags his tail most vigorously, iu order ;o announce his discovery to his fellow logs. In this WAy, by the habit of ns:ociation, he got to wagging his tail whenever he was pleased, and the more pleased he is the more vigorously lie wags his tail, so that the wagging of tho log's tail, under the influence of pleasurnsle emotion, can be traced directly to ;he time when the dog used his tail as a lignal of tho discovery of his prey,?
