' Duriug our brief wedding tri]) I was us?
ually so tired and sleepy that I had little
trouble in- woing the "drowsy god," but,
one night 1 was rudely awakened from his
cjhlimce by a strauge but fearful sound,
like'the growl of distant thunder. After
a moment it subsided, and I was again,
dreaming of the prospective little cottage,
and hanging pictures on the walls, und
warming his new slippers before the red,
cheery 'fire for dear John when?hark!
what W<M that noise? Was* it the girl
grinding the breakfast coffee? No, this
time I was not deceived, and as I lay in a
cold -* perspiration at the discovery, and
listened to the rise and; fall of that sol?
emn music, I knew that my fate was'
sealed, and that my idol was a man who
snored dreadfully! 1 stealthily turned up
the gas and watched him narrowly. Not
a-'pucker or wrinkle on his face, but still
that appaling sound. Then 1 took my
shoe, held it high in the air, and lei it fall
with a thud. Not being a Chicago bollc,
tlie noise did not cause him to move a
muscle. Sleep was murdered for that
night, and for many succeeding ones
arid'Tlay awake and suffered and listened.
"K-a-u-g-h a-k-a-u-g-h!" Sometimes,!
CLght in the middle of it, he would
break down, catch his breath and strug?
gle. My suspense was great; how did Jj
know but that the head of the family
might die, before he could grasp the re?
frain?Or as the bo..-, say "catcli oil*'
again?
My reflections were pathetic ??for.*'
thought I, "I may live to be over one out
hundrcd! The Woodscs were all a long
race. Dear me!" How van j I j to
end tire j this nightly pegatory with
sensitive nerves? Now Johnathan's. tem
peruTcin was quite the opposite to mine.
Calm and slow, he did not let the world
flesh nor the devil bother him; for, as la
was wont to say: "I tell you, when I go
to bed, I banish all care and am in for
sleep/'; ' r ."-"'>' :. - J
I stood it as only a brave loving woman
can; but at last I got home-sick. and. af- !
tor a night of unparalleled nasal exer- I
?on, (and, to my sleepy, distorted imagi?
nation, his throat seemed as deep as Gran?
ny's Dutch bake oven with the classic!
nose an escape valve), 1 cried a little and
said: "I want to see mother. John." The
kindest and best fellow in the world kissed
H^mc. and bought my ticket for home.
So the next day I was steaming away
towards the old farm. The next two weeks
1 rested up and gave myself up to sleep,
soul and body. Like Wardlos' fat boy,*I
had to be "punched hp" occasionally dur?
ing the day. A pang would clutch at my
heart sometimes! when poor John's honest
eyes 1 seemed to see, sad and wistful; so
I went back, determining to remonstrate,
ai/d try to-break him of his infirmity.
When I did?gently, in a calm, judicial
manner?and told him he'snored horribly |
rfhTT*nTuBt~fry to stop it','lre'to?lre"<rW'firii:
with a reproachful gaze, of (indignation,
surprise and grief. "What, me?" I could'
hardly convince him .of.his guilt?he re?
ferred me to his old college chum. "Ask
him," said'John; "neves heard him com*
plfi/i, btit if 1 ido Wreijtbe sort pVheavyj
wlpr. just punch me a little ^or'nia'ke^dra
lic^a-imy'side/' I .took him nt Iiis Word
that night. 1 had almost dared to hope
be would sleep quietly, but of course he
didn't; and so, after listening about, ten, or.
?fifteen minutes, I said: "John, you're
snoring; turn over!" Again that look of
reproach. ""I wasn't even asleep! Haven't
been asleep since I lay down.'"- After that
no captain of a naval ship maneuvered his
craft with more diplomacy and care than
did I my unfortunate good man. Punch-I
ing him under the short spare rib did no
good, for he was nuturally more irritable'!
asleep than when awake, and, waking with j
a bound, would demand: "What d'ye do j
that for? I would sooner be hit a clip."
But. I found, bv persistently and untir.
ingly rolling him over on his aide, 1 some-j
times caught enough steep to keep my
reason from tottering on the throne. '
Then Johnathan V. mother came on a i
visit, and I laid the matter before her.
"Why, is that soV said she, with her
quiet ripple of a laugh. "I never knew,
Johnathan snored." But as she seemed'
to take the matter as a jok?, I-don't, dis?
turb her equanimity, but listen while she
reads delicious bits here-and there from
"Hiawatha." After a "bit I look up and
find liijr dozing, and, presently lost in a
mijlday nap. and soon n fnmiliar sound fif
heard, but modified slightly, and I know
now who John takes after!
I have always had a woman's usual tim?
idity about burglars, and am still more
afraid of. a pistol. Thinking wo should

band-resurrect cd-an old slungshot "Billy,'-'

Bom* Re vi sea Details a? to Her Very In?
teresting: History.
Louise Hunprerford, with a younger
; sister- wbcj is now^he'Countess ;of TeltV
'eneT, the; wife a Italian Count, loft
New York when about tvrolvo years old,
si^ys fhe Working. Woman- John Hun
gerloTtJ was a* journeyman barbor in New
, York, but enlisted in tho Mexican war;
later he was employed at his trade by
one 'Georgo W. Ciprioo, whoso shop in
San Francisco was known as ''Montgom?
ery baths'," and;the chair 'that! Jack;H un
gerford:usedi& pointed out to the cus?
tomers of the Ciprico barbershop to this
day. Mr. Ciprico advanced8500 in gold to
his employe, who immediately sent for
his daughters. When Louise Hungorford
and her sister arrived in San Francisco
they went to the house of Mr. Ciprico,
who took them into his family, thoy be?
ing nearly the 8ame age of his own
daughters. Hero they wero treated as
members of the family, being taught
Italian and French and music by the
daughters. They lived with their bene?
factors six or seven years.
In 1806 Hungerford opened a barber
shop on his own account at Mokelumne
Hill, Cal., and Louise, who was then
about nineteen years old, acted as her
father's housekeeper?they having ono
roi.m in tho rear of the shop. He was
proprietor of but short duration, for he
soon "busted" up in business. During
this period a Dr. Bryant, who kept a
small drug store at Nevada City, about
ono hundred miles from Mokelumne
Hill, paid attention to Louise,
and she was married to him after
a short courtship. Dr. Bryant, be?
ing a man of dissolute habits, died two
or three years afterward of delirium |
tremens, leaving Mrs. Bryant no means
of support for herself and daughter Eva,
now the Princess Colonna. Her father's
failure in business and. her husband's
death compelled her to seek servico in
the family of J. W. Walker, brother of
the late ox-GovernorWalker,of Virginia,
and there she met for th? first time J.
W. Mackay, superintendent of the Bul?
lion mine at Virginia City, Nev. Louise
Bryant, for a brief time previous to her
going into the service of Mr. Walker,
had tried a hand at keeping a boarding
house for the miners.
Mr. Mackay was comfortably fixed and
oould provide her a home, such as the
miners used in those days, simply a
cabin of two rooms. So he courted and
won the Widow Bryant. Her father
in the meantime had gone back to his
former "boss" and procured employment
and helped to pay the youngest daugh?
ter's board. Mrs. Mackay was cook and
general housekeeper and laundry-wom?
an, and helped entertain her husband's
co-workers in the mines
Mr. Mackay soon after attained great
wealth, and Mrs. Mackay and her sister
had the advantage of a common school
education and could speak fluently Ital?
ian and French, through the association
of the Ciprico family,' who were re?
markably well educated?three of the
daughters of Mr. Ciprico are school
teachers in San Francisco to-day. When
Mrs. Mackay, her daughter Eva, and her
sister went abroad, it was to get away
Ufrom her former associates. When she
returned for the first time to San Fran?
cisco she called upon the Ciprico girls,
but from that day to the present she has
ignored her former teachers and bene?
factors.
The people of San Franoisoo who
know the facts as above stated are indig?
nant at Mrs. Jotm W. Mackay's ingrati?
tude to a family that had done so much
for her in her early days of poverty and
somewhat adventuresome life.
John Hungerfordrr-now known as CoL
Hungerford of the jUnited States army
was formerly known as "Jack Hunger
ford, the barber." He was a good artist,
and there is no disgrace attached to his
business. Louise earned her daily bread
as a boarding-house keeper. Bnt the
worst of ingratitude oomea In to those
who took care of her and gave her the
advantages of an early education. This
we think the worst of crimes.

SCIENCE- OF taPNOTISM.
What the Treatment Is and How
It Is Worked.
A Fseudo-Sloep Into Which, a Patient with
an Aptitude for It Can Be Mide to
Fall?Somnambulism the Last
Stage of the Trance.
The history of hypnotism forms part
of tho history of the marvelotn inhu?
man cxi-tencc, writes Dr. J. Luj-s in the
London Fortnightly Review. In reality
it is found under different names at all
periods of history, from the incantations
of tho ancient Egyptian magicians down
to the fascinations of Mesrunr, and the
investigations of Braid, to whom modorn
hypnotism owes its name and its ap?
pearance in tho realm of science. Braid
mastered all the leading oharacteristies
of the several hypnotic stages, and had
a profound conviction of its utility as a
remedial agent in all diseases in which
the nerves play a more or less visible
part.
Hypnotism is an experimental extra
physiological condition of the nervous
system, a pseudo-sleep into which a pa?
tient with an aptitude for it
can bo mode to fall, and during
which he loses for tho time being all
consciousness of his individual exist?
ence and of the external world.
In tho sequence of hypnotic states
there is a descending and ascending
movement, downwards to lethargy, and
upwards to restored consciousness.
From a slight drowsiness ho passes to
the somnambulistic stago, preserving at
first his faculty of hearing and speech.
Next his faculties are overwhelmed, the
power of sight only remaining. At last,
in the third stage, tho patient falls into
a complote lethargy; the life of tho
brain is withdrawn, and ho lives, mere?
ly by tho automatic activities of his
spinal marrow. In tho return journey
or second half of tho circlo, the hypno?
tized person goes through the opposite
phases, recovering at each halting place
tho faculties which have been temporari?
ly suspended, passing from completo
lethargy, through catalepsy and som?
nambulism, which are only different do
grees of intensity of partial somnolence.
Several processes arc employed to pro?
duce the hypnotic state, the most effect?
ive being revolving mirrors on which
tho patient fixes his eyes; but tho
sensitiveness of other special nerves, as
well as of the optic nerv?s, can bo util?
ized; in fact, with persons readily sus?
ceptible, suggestion suffices. The ex?
perimenter says to the patient: "You
and I will count together up to six, and
when we reach four you will bo asleep."
To awaken the patient, it is generally
sufficient to say: "You will be awalco
in a minute," but it is important to bo
sure that he is thoroughly awake; for
if a patient only half-awakened is sent
back to bis daily life, he may collido
with and knock down persons, steal
articles exposed in shops, or commit
other offenses, whilo giving the impres?
sion that he is in full possession of his
senses. Tho cataleptic stage is at?
tended with well-defined manifesta?
tions. Tho muscles maintain the poses
given to them, and display a force far
beyond what they are capable of in the
waking state. The faculty of balancing
is raised to an extraordinary pitch of
exaltation. Stand him on one leg,
bend his body forward or backward,
bend his spinal column while making
him throw his head back? and he will
maintain his equilibrium. Lift tho
patient horizontally, and lay his head
on the back of ono chair and his heels
on tho back of another, and he will re?
main as stiff as a board, supported by
his extremities. In this oataloptic
stage the emotions can be brought into
play in a perfectly methodical manner.
He can be made glad without a word,
by simply putting* in his line of vision
a sketch of happy faces; his features
expand, and by degrees he breaks out
into a loud laugh.
Conversely, a sketch of gloomy per?
sons will fill him with sadness. Music
wakes emotions proper to the time, and
every color excites a special emotion;
blue raises emotion of sorrow; yellow or
red, joy and delight. Emotional states
are also kindled by making the patient
go through the gestures, with which
any given emotion is habitually associ?
ated. For example, the patient's fist
being closed and placed in a threaten?
ing posture, the face assumes an angry
expression, but put his hand in the at
titude of throwing a kiss and his face
expresses delight and pleasure.
Somnambulism is the last stage of
hypnotism before awaking. In this
stage the patient's mind is a thoroughly
prepared soil, in which we call up
hallucinations and illusions of the
senses, orazy fancies and fixed ideas
which become, irresistible. If you tell
him it is oold, he wants a fur cloak; if
you tell"him" it Is warm, he wants to
put on summer clothing. If you say:
"Hero La a glass of wino," and ask him
to drink, he accepts it, and makes pre?
tence to drink it The word ertdkiU
has been invented to characterize the
extraordinary credulity of this stage.
Hla Well Buna Gold and Silver.
. There is a wonderful well down near
Del Norte, says the Pike's rPeak Herald.
It is an artesian-well wltn an abundant
? flow of pure water, sufficient to irrigate
a considerable amount of land. That
would be enough.for any one but a San
Luis man. But this is mineral water.'
It is effervescent, very palatable and
extremely healthful. Nor is this all;
the force of the water brings, up from
j the depths an occasional lump of native
silver or a 'gold nugget.. The frugal
furnier has placed a sack of wire netting'
over the mouth of the well to catch the
metakajadjprevont ifr from choking the
cows. Local scientists claim that at a
-great depth" and under enormous pros-,
sure the water is washing away a
ledgepf rock, whose softer parts go Into
'solu^onraid give the water its mineral
qualities, but.whose gold and silver, not
being; dissolved, are brought to the sur?
face in a metallic state.

A FEMALE ENGINEER.
Sbo Hm 8BeaessfalIy Ban ?m Enrlno for
Three Years.
To see a woman rnnning an engine in
real life is a genuine novelty. The fair
sex occasionally run engines in novels,
on the stage and so on, but a real, live
female engineer is a n;3w sensation. Of
course this one is in Chicago, and of
conrse she Is young and pretty. They
always are. The romance of the case is,
hjwever, cut out by the cold-blooded
announcement that she is not doing it
to save a husband, lover or father's life
or liberty. She is purely mercenary.
The stipend drawn at the end of each
week is all that she is after. Her name
is not known. Perhaps this is where
the romantic part comes in. Perhaps
otherwise. Bo this or that as it may,
she is a flesh and blood reality. When
a reporter for the Chicago Herald callod
at the place whore this novelty works
he statod his business to a young lady
clerk, and asked to see the woman who
runs the engine.
"A lady is our engineer," tittered the
clerk, "but she is busy and can't see any
reporters."
"Can she bo seen?" was asked.
"No," was the answer. "She will see
no one,, unless it is an examiner of en?
gineers, and then she will bo found
ready and anxious to answer all ques?
tions."
The lady engineer, ae she is styled,
has had charge of the Bee Hive laun?
dry engine for about three years, during
which time she had no troublo and has
apparently been well able to attend to
all the duties devolving upon her.
Her principal claim for competency,
however, is that she has taken bor
engine apart and placed it together
again without sorionsly damaging its
component parts or detracting from its
power. Questions to be propounded to
her by the reporter were furnished by
an ongineer, but sho declined to answer
any questions at all unless they came
from the board of engineers. These
quories were regarding her knowledge
of how to figure on her safety valve,
her boiler's horse-power and her en?
gine's horse-powor. That sho can dem?
onstrate properly on all these in-i
tricacios she docs not doubt, and Is
anxious to have the board of examiners
pass on her case.
E. C. Dicey, of the board, Haid in re?
gard to this woman: "If a woman can
successfully pass the required examin?
ation thoro is no law to prevent her
continuing the practice of engineering.
This case will be rigidly looked into,
and unless this lady engineer can tell
all about an engine she will have to
give up her position to a competent
engineer."
GYPSY PRINCE WILLIAM.
-v., _
Bff-iJVealth, Bl? Wife am! the Chariot
.That Uarnum Coveted.
Prince William is the richest gypsy in
America, perhaps, and he rolls about
the world in a big silver and gold chari?
ot, the grandest wagon in New England,
says the Hartford (Conn.) Times. Prince
William is smart and shrewd. He drives
a troop of horses and trades them to
farmers. His wife goes about the towns
at which he halts and tells fortunes for
twenty-five cents or ono dollar an au?
gury. Not long ago Princess M"ary
William told Mrs. Ibith, of Rockville,
that her husband was a "regular Don
Juan." Mrs. Ibith pitched into Ibith,
and then Don Juan whipped Princess
Mary. The affair made Rockville un?
attractive to the prince, so he rallied
his band, mounted the lofty seat of his
flaming chariot, and, with his troop of
horses trailing behind, rolled over the
rough hills through lofty Hebron towns
into Hartford.
He is still in Hartford, having had
his chariot repainted and embellished.
It is a wonderful affair. No Pharoah
ever rushed to battle in one body so big,
flashing and cumbrous. It is chariot
and home both to the chief and his wife.
They sit'on the high seat as thoy travel,
overlooking a league of country; when
they are encamped they sleep inside.
The interior is beautifully fitted up; the
walls areoovered with elegant and costly
hangings. It is comfortable, warm and
cozy. Outside the carriage is a work of
art. The sides are handsomely panoled,
painted and varnished. The ground?
work is of maroon color, aud the orna?
mentation of gold. On the panels are
oil paintings of hunting and sporting
scenes. The wheels ai d running gear
are painted to match the body, and all
the metal work is triple silver-plated.
The gypsy prince is about to set out
on Ms great tour, and proposes to go in
gorgeous style. The chariot has cost
Prince William altogether 93,500. It
was built for 81,500, and the improve?
ment at Hartford cost $1,000 more. At
one time P. T. Barn urn saw the gypsy
ohiei riding about in splendor and tried
to buy the outfit, but Prince William is
just as big a chief as Barn um, and he
wouldn't sell it
Weeptag- Tree* In the "JforthweM.
In the forests of Washington and
British Columbia 1 have frequently seen
trees dripping copiously during clear,
bright days, when no dew was visible
elsewhere. The dripping was so pro?
fuse that the ground underneath was
almost saturated. The phenomenon in
this case was caused by the remarkable
condensing power of the leaves of the
fir, and it ocourrod only when the rela?
tive humidity was near the dew point
The dripping ceases after ten or eleven
o'clock in the morning, but resumes at
or near sunset. In Hakluyfs "Voyages"
there is an account of Hawkin's second
voyage to Africa and America, written
by a gentleman who sailed with Haw?
kins, in which we are told that in the
island of Ferro there is a weeping tree
that supplies all the men and beasts
of the island with drink, there bo ing no
other available water supply. Further,
he states that in Guinea he saw many
weeping trees, but of a speoi.ja different
from that at Ferro.
