121 IN LABOR[S_DOMAIN. The Trend of Discussion in the Twin City Frater nity. A Quiet Strike of the Stone cutters in St. Paul. Minneapolis Hustling for the Great July Fourth Parade. Topics of Interest to Those Who Toil and Who Spin. St Paul has had another strike to vary the monotony in labor circles. The stonecutters concluded several months ago to raise the scale of wages to 50 cents per hour; eight hours to con stitute a day's work. Employers were notified and requested to accede to this proposition. Some were willing to do so, while others thought the present rates of i") cents per hour sufficient. The stonecutters have one of the strong est and best disciplined organizations in the city. A strike was ordered with the intention of forcing their demand. A leading member of the union said yesterday: "The rate we ask is not higher than paid in other cities of the same size. It must be remembered that the skilled mechanic requires a long period of apprenticeship to perfect him self in this trade, and the nature of the ■work is such that several mouths of the year are passed in enforced idleness. *So that our average monthly wages are much less than would appear at first sight. Our present demand we think just ana will stand by it. The strikers will take no active measures, except to warn our brethren to stay away trom the city and aid those who wish to leave. 'We feel certain that our propo sition will be granted, and work will go cm as usual after a few days." » * * On Friday James Johnson and J. F. Cronin leftfor the Pacific coast, intend ing to make their future residence in that section of the country. Mr. Cronin has been for several years district secre tary, ami is well known throughout the state. Mr. Johnson has also been ac tively connected with industrial affairs in St". Paul, cooperation being his par ticular forte. A large delegation of friends accompanied them to the sta tion, wishing them every success in their new field of work. * * * Several people who frequent labor headquarters are advising the girls who work in manufacturing establish ments to try to iay the basis for a co operative factory by making a few dozen samples of overalls, jackets, etc., and putting them on sale in the co operative store. It is thought that a trade could be worked up among the organized men. which would give em ployment to several expert workers. If some of the experienced girls would take the time to make a lineof samples, the outlay would be trifling, and many a successful co-operative enterprise has started in just as humble a fashion. ** •*■ * __ A member of the horseshoers' union pays: "Our craft is becoming thor oughly organized in both cities. The holding of our annual convention here awakened new interest in our organiza tion. It was decided to utilize space in one of the St. Paul papers for all official communications. We have organized and educated our men so well that the employers prefer to hire organized men rather' than "scabs."' "How about your wages?" was asked. "In this city men on the floor are paid 51.75 a day, men at the fire. S3, which is about 25 cents in advance of the prices paid in Minneapolis. We have advanced •wages since organizing the craft, but without arousing any opposition from our employers. In fact, the employers have a union, and it is reported that they are about to advance prices to cus tomers, and charge a uniform scale." * * » The co-operative store at labor head quarters has moved into its new space, and now looks quite bright and at tractive. The general repairing and renovation lias greatly improved the ap pearance and utility of the headquarters The district executive board held a special session last Sunday afternoon in order to elect new officers to fill the places recently vacated and to arrange plans for future work. It is likely that a special meeting of the district will be held shortly. T.H.Lucas was chosen secretary instead of J. F. Cronin, re signed. * * » Among the pleasant social events of the week was the marriage of J. J. Mc- Donald and Mary Fitzgerald on Wednesday morning at St. Mary's church. A reception was held in the evening at the home of the newly wedded couple. Mr. McDonald is a re spected member of L. A. 2822, and many of his brother knights gathered to tender their congratulations and good wishes for the future. * «■ » • The ladies' beneficiary department 'holds its regular open meeting next Sunday afternoon in its hall. A pleasant programme is in process of preparation, and all are cordially in vited to attend and hear several inter esting talks on the labor question. * « * The trades and labor assembly holds a regular meeting next Friday evening. All delegates are requested to be pres ent, as there will be an election of offi cers for the ensuing six months. * * * The Scandia Co-operative Mercantile company, which was recently organized, reports a fair trade and good prospects lor the future. * » Edward Bellamy's book, "Looking Backward," is being widely read in labor circles. Several members have purchased a number of copies of the book. These are loaned and kept in constant circulation. A club will be organized in a few days for the further propagation of the ideas advanced in this interesting story. * •_• * The steam and gas fitters met last "Week to form a union of those em ployed in their craft. The meeting was well attended, and, after listening to speeches on the necessity of organiza tion from members of other unions, a temporary organization was formed. Another meeting will be held to-mor row evening to make the organization permanent. * - » The Brotherhood of Railway Brake mien hold their seventh annual conven tion in this city during the month of October. About 200 delegates are ex pected to attend. This brotherhood lias grown with remarkable rapidity for several years past and is now one of the most flourishing of railway organiza tions. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Phil King have spent several weeks at Mrs. King's former home in Wisconsin, whither they were called by the serious illness of her mother. Mr. King returned on Thurs day; his wife will remain with her mother for several weeks. » -» * The Workingmen's Co-Operative Building association seems to be mak ing rapid progress, stock is coming in rapidly and people of means are inter esting themselves as well as the work ingmen. A well-attended meeting was held at labor headquarters last evening. * *• * Mr. Lamb has now submitted the names of M. J. Gill, of Minneapolis, and Frank Casserly, of St. Paul, for the of fice of factory Inspectors, Instead of ; Messrs. Johnson and Cronin. .- Probably the whole question will be 7 settled dur ing the coming week. The contest be tween the candidates for the offices gave ; color to some stories about differences of opinion between the trades unionists and K. of L. men. Those who are in a position to know about such things ; state that there never was more unan imity of feeling between the trade unions and assemblies. Representative men say that if men of integrity and ability are selected, that all will be sat isfied, and the stories circulated by am bitious candidates are likely to recoil on their own heads. MINNEAPOLIS NOTES. The Trade ami Labor assembly hold a protracted session on Friday evening. A commitee was appointed to look up the method of paying employes on sewers, and see if the semi-monthly pay day cannot be re-established. Several other committees were ap pointed on special business. A resolu tion indorsing Father Egan'a speech on Memorial day was passed by a unan imous vote. After a long discussion the names of the following delegates were forwarded to Seripp's National league: Oliver Erickson, George Ledgerwood, lien Earous. J. Fleming and John McCarthy. If any one of the live are appointed from this city, Oliver Erickson will be that one. None of the others are making any effort to secure the appointment. Mr. Erickson has re ceived the indorsement of several other organizations, and also from a large number of influential citizens, Should Mr. Erickson receive the appointment, there is no doubt but.that he will repre sent Minneapolis workingmen in a cred itable manner. * * * The industrial parade committee held a meeting on Thursday evening and transacted a good deal of important business. Bonds have been filed and accented for the care of buildings at the stale* fair grounds. The Manitoba road lias arranged to furnish ample facilities for transportation. Tracks run into the grounds, and trains will be run as often as necessary in order to accommodate the pleasure seekers. The round trip from either of the Twin Cities is fixed at 35 cents, no extra admission being charged to any portion of the grounds. * * * The committee on speakers have se cured C. L. Darrow, of Chicago, to de liver an address on the eight-hour ques tion. Mr. Darrow is said to be an elo quent orator and able to draw a larger house in Chicago than any other indus trial speaker of that city. The Single Tax league at first intended to invite Mr. Darrow as their guest and have him deliver an address on the land question. He prefers to talk on eight hours, and will be the guest of the general com mittee. Arrangements are pending for brief speeches in Scandinavian and German by well known sneakers. * *> * The committee on printing are hav ing large posters printed for general distribution in the Twin Cities and throughout the state. On Monday an official circular will be mailed to each organization and union asking them to correspond with the general committee and state what action will be taken in each organization in order to make the picnic a success. An official programme of races and amusements will be printed for July 4. w * * _* The committee on amusements are arranging for all sorts of games and contests in addition to the general par ade. Prizes of considerable value are offered by leading business houses in the Twin Cities, aud all amateurs wish ing to enter their names for contests should address the secretary of eight hour committee at Thomas A. Clark's, __ Third street south. Different un ions are drilling base ball nines and boasting of the prowess of their re spective nines. * * * Music is secured for the parade and for dancing during the day. The build ings are so commodious that they can provide ample shelter in case of inclem ent weather. -The dining hall, will seat at least 1,000 people, and a restaur ant will furnish a substantial lunch to those not caring to bring baskets. * * * Altogether it seems to be a foregone conclusion that the eight-hour celebra tion on July 4 will be the most success ful one ever held in the state. Every preparation is being made to ensure the comfort and amusement of the people. Local organizations are specially re quested to discuss plans for participat ing in the parade, and report at once so that the committee may arrange for them. * ■» * * The Ladies' Labor lyceum held a bus iness meeting at Hunt's hall on Thurs day evening and received instructions in "regard to the principles of their or ganization. Another meeting will be held at the same place next Thursday evening. » » » * The union of the car repairers held an open meeting last Monday evening at the Labor hall. 11. B. Martin and others spoke of the benefits of organiza tion. This union has been organized only a short time but is rapidly adding to its membership. *•*■**■* - The Social Science club, at its regular meeting last Monday evening passed resolutions indorsing Father Egan's speech on Memorial day, and also his subsequent letter to the press. _i ' * * » The'state eight-hour convention met last Sunday in hall No. 0. Labor temple. A large number were present. A re port from the committee on celebration and discussion of plans occupied a large portion of the afternoon. Nearly every delegate brought a voluntary contribu tion from his association, so that the league is now provided for financially. An interesting discussion of eight-hour topics followed the routine business aud kept the delegates until a late hour. .. * * * The socialists met on Sunday evening at the Labor Temple and listened to a well-written paper by Dr. Gill. A gen eral discussion followed, in which all participated. The socialists have ar ranged for an interesting series of de bates for the coming three months. Each debate will be opened by some speaker well known in industrial cir cles. * * » The Nationalist club meets on Tues day evening at the resilience of Mrs. Davis for a further discussion of the principles of Christian socialism. TT * * The local eight-hour league holds its semi-monthly meeting at the Labor Temple next Thursday evening. All members are requested to be present as business of importance will be trans acted. » * * The Social Science institute meets this evening at the Labor Temple for its regular semi-monthly debate. * » * The Tailors' union gives a picnic at Bass lake on Sunday, June 10. They are working hard to make the affair a success and promise an enjoyable time to all their brethren who wish to ac company them. ■* * * The treatment of Rev. S. G. Powers at the bauds of the trustees of his church is another example that the priv ilege of free speech is hardly open to every citizen. Mr. Powers has been for years a close student of the historical aspect of the labor question. His re marks at the mass meeting on Bridge square were characterized by conserva tism and good sense; yet only a few days afterwards he was notified of the loss of his position in consequence of that speech. Even then, the 7 trustees did not pay him all the salary due for past services. Mr. Powers still main tains his right to express his opinions. His course is the more appreciated by the working people because there are so few ministers who pay any attention to the industrial question or express an unbiased opinion regarding the social and industrial evils of the present time. »____-i "You look so much like your brother," said Dennis; to Phelim, "that I could tell yez was brothers if I'd never seen aith'er of Life. THE PAINT PAUL Dall^ «^^ SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 9, 1889.— 3IXTEEN PAGES. ILL LUGK^SPORtSi Peculiarities of People Who Believe Their Destiny Is Ruled. The Gambler Takes the Lead Among: the Supersti tious. Various Vagaries of the Pro fessional Poker Player. . The Jockey Club Winner and the Lottery Fiend. Perhaps no class of people In the world are as superstitious as the profes sional gamblers. It is very rarely that one of the fraternity is found who is not only superstitious, but morbidly so. Their dreams, the way in which they get out of bed in the morning, whether they see the new moon over the right or left shoulder, action of animals, and a thousand trivial occurrences guide the gambler in his movements and lead him to play or abstain from playing on cer tain days. Superstition follows the gambler to the card table and never leaves him, and there are hundreds of the fraternity who would quit a game at the outset should anything happen to induce them to believe that the fates were against their winning at that par ticular time. "I have not won at poker for more than a year now," remarked a veteran sport, "and I'll tell you how it hap pened. I have a wholesome horror of cats, and especially of black ones. A little over a year ago l had been play ing poker the night before, and had won a handsome stake— awoke late in the afternoon, about dusk, and hurried out of bed to don my clothes and try my luck again, feeling like a four-time winner. Imagine my feelings when a large black cat confronted me at the door, and for a time barred my passage. Every time I would attempt to leave the room that cat would bristle up and show fight. I finally hurled a bootjack at the creature, striking it fairly in the head, and the animal turned and ran away. I will confess that the incident unnerved me, but after taking a 'bracer,' and enjoying a hearty supper, I strolled around to a popular resort and bought a stack of chips, sitting into a game where there was plenty of money, and the players easy '"marks" for a professional. I lost from the start, couldn't win a pot. And the hands 1 had beaten would break a man's heart— threes, flushes, full hands, aye, even fours— not win for me. After losing heavily I suddenly thought of the incident at my hotel, with the big black cat, and I quit right there and then. I didn't play for quite awhile, but finally thinking the spell had passed, I again sat in, but lost as before, and that has been my luck right along. I believe that the visit of that cat was a warning, and if I had obeyed it and not played that night, I would not have struck this streak of bad luck. If my luck ever changes again I will never touch a card the same day I see a cat in the house or on the street." As the narrator of the above absurd reason for his losing at cards was evi dently imbued with superstition, he was asked to relate other incidents where card- players i had been pursued by adversity for not paying due heed to significant warnings. PECULIARITIES OF GAMBLERS. "There is any number of them," he continued. "There is something pe culiar about it a 11, I will admit, but there are many who can testify that ill luck usually follows a warning of that kind, lt maybe mind-reading or an in tuitive knowledge of what is to happen, but .those who disregard the admoni tions of their own reasoning powers in variably regret it. At the last meeting of the St.Louis Jockey club a well known sport lost heavily every day until the closing day of the meeting. His continued ill-luck had unneryed him, and he had determined to let the races alone that day. But he couldn't stay away from the track, and concluded to go out and look at the fun anyway. On the way out the conductor of the street cat failed to collect fare from the sport ing man. and just as he alighted from the car he saw something shining in the street. He stooped and picked it up. It was a silver dime. "Things are coming mv wav to-day," he said, "and I'll put a few dollars on the first race, anyway." He did, and won. , He repeated and won again, And that 'superstitious' man, as you might call him, not only won all he had lost during the meeting, but came away with a clean winning of over $500. Now, there may have been nothing significant in his getting that free ride and findine that dime, but if he hadn't he would not have risked a dollar. ; His superstition stood him well in hand, and he could never be convinced but that there is something in signs and incidents which prompts a man to act, and -as a . rule to bet properly and successfully. He wouldn't take $10 for that lucky ten cent piece he found in the street, and now wears it as a watch charm. THIS StTPERSTITIOUS POKER PLAYER. "But the most superstitious of all gamblers is the poker player. The slightest 'sign' or annoyance breaks him all to pieces. I once saw a poker player enter a room, remove his coat, light a cigar, invest in a stack of chips, and as he pulled his chair up to the table he discovered that there was a cross-eyed man in the gang. That set tled it. Without a word he arose, turned in his checks, and, donning his coat. left the room. When asked what his pecul iar conduct meant he replied: " 'Why, I wouldn't play in a game of cards with a cross-eyed man if he'd give me his money.' " 'Why.' J"S i " 'Well, I can't say why, but I have a premonition that it is bad luck, and I don't want to be pursued by ill luck ; that's the only explanation 1 can give.' "This is but one of many of the pecul iarities of poker-players. There are very few of them who will permit a spectator to stand or sit near him, even a friend who he knows would rather cut , off his right arm than 'tip his hand,' and to put a foot on a . player's chair is a mortal offense. I have heard many a player, upon discovering that some one had a foot resting on his chair, say: ' " 'There, I knew it. No wonder I'm losing. Take that foot away, please.' , "Others will at once get up and quit the game upon making the discovery. I once knew a crack polter-player whose face was a blank, no matter what sort of a hand he held, who would quit the game if he won the first pot. -It is said that Senator Tabor always predicted a losing 'sitting' if he held a deuce in the first hand dealt him. WILL LEND MONEY, BUT NO CHECKS. "Such peculiarities as a mortal dread lest some one in the game will change a red or blue check in a jack-pot for whites, while the play is going on, or take a particular seat, etc., are very common, but the thing most dreaded by superstitious poker-players is the result of lending checks to a friend during the progress of a game. Not one in a hun dred will do it without immediately quitting the game. Not that they are parsimonious, or afraid that they will not be repaid, but simply because they, claim it brings ill-luck. I "have seen many a man comply.with a request for a loan of $10, $20, or even $50 worth of checks, without a protest or a look to indicate his feelings, and then get up and quit the game, refusing flatly to continue, even if offered money in pay ment ior the checks loaned. " 'I can't win now,' they say; 'never loaned a check in my life - but what I lost.' -,-;;■■.' ..■: :;- _ -..-..: 7-- :.'-y .-.-y/s ■ "Amateurs j are v addicted to a, habit which horrifies the superstitious profes sional, and that is counting checks dur ing tho progress of I tho game. . Take ■ a youug player who has won ! a few pots and he will invariably count his checks to see how much he is • winner. A pro fessional views this operation with hor ror, and some are so incensed thereat that they quit -, the game. . They don't j care how much the amateur is winning, but they are too superstitious to play in. a game where that sort of - work is going on. "Who among card players . has not seen a losing player get up and walk around his chair, fully believing that the result will be a change of luck? Another common occurrence in a poker room is to see a 1 player pay tho negro porter to come and lay his hand on the superstitious player's . stock of checks. There are many habitual * gamblers who make it a rule to go out and walk around the block at certain stages of the game, winning or losing, whether the weather be mile] and pleasant or cold and dis agreeable. The little happenings which control the actions of the superstitious are legion, and nearly every man who plays poker has his failings in that di rection. THE LOTTERY AND POLICY FIEND. * "In the man who plays policy or wastes a stipulated amount per month in lottery tickets, the poker player has a strong rival for superstition. Let a policy player pass a certain street and house number three times in ono day, he will play those numbers if the idea strikes him right, or will avoid them if he feels a premonition that they will lose. The lottery victim happens to ride on a street car bearing a certain number three or four times in suc cession. Then in his . dreams he sees the number written on the walls, on the windows and danc ing before his eyes. He hurries out tlie following day and purchases the ticket bearing that number— if he can get it. If he can not, he is firmly con vinced the number will ;* win. and is wild to find that the ticket he wanted is sold. If he wins, thousands believe in his wonderful stories, born of super stition. If he loses he will explain away everything by urging that the warning was intended for him. and that it indicated lie should not phiy that number and that he misunderstood the signs. iPPBPW ! .' "Hundreds of anecdotes might be re lated showing how wide-spread is what is known as superstition, especially among the sporting classes— how people who live quiet, sedate lives are nearly as bad, refusing to take any important steps on Friday, for instance— but that part of the story has been told and re told. The base" ball mascot is another example of how superstition takes hold and never lets go, and there is not a base ball club in the League or Associa tion whose members can not tell you why they were beaten after the game is over— they met a funeral, or one of their number put his coat on wrong, or some similar trivial happening doomed them to defeat. Among the thousands of superstitious people there are very few who will admit their weakness." __m — '— A GAY GIRL'S GOSSIP. Hats and Bonnets to Be Worn During the Summer Season by American Belles. New York, June I.— My Dear Nina: So you want me to tell you about sum mer hats. But please do not bla me me if those I tell you of do not suit you. There are so many shapes and kinds of headgear this season, and then there are two distinct classes of hats, you know— worn by the very wealthy, and those worn by the not very wealthy. Most of the millinery establishments show the former kind— that is, the ne plus ultra style of headgear— made v p with the most pronounced and delicate colors, of largest shapes, and with the gayest and daintiest of flowers. I saw pretty Miss Amy Beyd in the park the other day with anhimmense Leghorn hat caught up at on side and wreathed in big pink crush roses. It was faced with black velvet - and was really bewitchingly becoming, but „. it would not do for a girl who has no car riage, and must walk or ride in the horse-cars. 7. 7-7 r* Then I saw Mrs. Ladenburg the other day out walking in a pale yellow hat trimmed with many bows of yellow and black ribbon velvet. 1 Decidedly pretty, of course, and so becoming to 'her soft, darK eyes and hair, but she can afford to pay $50 for a new hat each week, and no one will say, "There comes Mrs. Ladenburg in that old yellow hat." When a girl can only have one best hat and two or three every day ones for summer, she should be very care ful about choosing them. Black or white is always safe, and the hats of lace or gauze this year are so prette that oue may easily be content witn thenW^gßnaOjjfMp369SK I have one copied from an imported hat. It is the empire shape, and is just the wire frame, covered with illusion. I shirred it in puffs between each wire and faced it in the same way, and then I have four clusters of flowers, which I fasten to it, to wear with different gowns. I have a big bunch of poppies for my black lace, my white gowns and my crimson gauze, and a cluster of daisies for my blue and gray gowns, a bunch of mignonette for other dresses, and a wreath of pink roses covered with the illusion when I wish to wear it in a carriage or to a very fashionable affair. ■-,-■■, ■ Lena has bought five of the prettiest of every-day ■ hats, and not one of them cost her over $2. She is going to Long Branch, you know, and so she ■". bought an immense Leghorn hat for 91*50,'. and has put a wreath of daisies about it.' She is to wear that hat on the beach. Then she has the sweetest and oddest little pansy bonnet for carriage wear. It is of cream-white straw, and is trimmed with a big bow of black vel vet, with a facing of the same, and lit tle strings fasten it at one side with a pearl fly. : For moonlight walks she made the dearest little white tulle „ bonnet, all shirred oyer a frame, and dented in the center, with a big butterfly bow on the top and tulle strings, which are to be tied loosely in front. Her traveling bonnet is of gray straw in three- deep . curves, and is trimmed with a cluster of columbine blossoms, the dull reds and yellows looking very artistic and just matching the Persian design on her gray dress. For a morning, hat she has a white Italian straw of the conventional shape, trimmed with white ribbons. il^Bßj** I saw a lovely little hat on a girl the other day. It was the : exact shape of an inverted saucer, and was fastened to ; a little cup-like crown that just fitted her head. It looked somewhat like an Oxford hat and was very becoming. 4 . The straw was a delicate fawn , and It J was trimmed with a wreath of green leaves. I suppose she meant it to rep resent a cup of tea, and as she was at an afternoon tea when I saw her, it seemed very appropriate. So many fashionable women are wear ing these little round hats made en-; i tirely of fine flowers, such as pansies .' and forget-me-nots, with a band of dark < velvet about the bottom. They are nice for one who expects " to ; travel, because , they are easily kept in a trunk, and * even if they do become a little tumbled they do not show it. Many of the girls , I know have bought them to wear in traveling through Europe. Great, big, coarse straw hats, trimmed with big bows of bright ribbon, are to be used at the 7 seashore this summer, and for walking in the-motitains there are such cute little tourist hats in white, blue and gray, and soft tennis hats em broidered in flowers. The milliner told me that little sun bonnets of white pique and lace were to be worn at Newport and Bar Harbor. I should think 5 they 77 would 7 look very pretty, and at any rate they would save a girl from having a red nose at a dance, even if she went sailing in the' morn ing. Lovingly, Dorothy. -80.

East Indian Fakirs Who Have Lain Six Weeks in the -•••*-"- Tomb. Some time ago the Gi.onK published, in connection with the inhumation feat of Dr. Tanner, several remarkable cases which came well established from East India. There are now reported other cases equally remarkable.* ;; Sir C. E. Trevelyan, of the English treasury, re ports - the instance of a fakir be ing dug up and restored in the presence of himself and the royal Rajah liana, . after having been buried ten days, and the grave guarded by soldiery; and in a short time, was fully restored, and was eating and drinking, as well and hearty as ever. Another instance occurred under the eye of Lieut. A. Barteau, of 11. M. S., where the interment was made under the most critical surveillance of civil, military and medical authorities, and after a full month had elapsed, ex humation took place. The body had been sewed up in a linen shroud with the knees doubled up and turned, in ward toward the throat.the hands point ing towards the chest, lt was then placed in a sitting posture in a grave lined with masonry. Two heavy slabs of stone about six feet in length and nine "■•' inches thick, and broad enough to completely cover the mouth of the grave, were then placed over him so that he could not by any possibility escape, earth being piled over above, making the surface of the ground smooth and compact. The door, which was the only entrance, was then built up solidly with brick and • mortar, and a heavy guard was maintained around it, incessantly, during the en tire month, so that no tracks or decep tion were possible. With other officers, and in the presence of a great multi tude, we saw the masonry broken down and the body removed in a perfectly senseless state, the eyes being closed, the hands cramped and powerless, the stomach much shrunken and the teeth set so fast together tbat it was with difficulty that bystanders could open them with iron instruments.. Under treatment he soon recovered conscious ness and was restored to the use of his limbs. He conversed with us in a low feeble voice, and so far from appearing at all distressed in mind on account of his long interment, he assured us that we might bury him again— and for a whole year— we pleased. He said that as a part of his prepara tion for a long interment, he abstains from all solid food for many days pre viously, taking almost exclusively milk. He had also acquired the powerof shut ting his mouth, and, at the same time stopping the interior opening of the nostrils with his tongue, which latter feat is at times practiced as a means of suicide by the negro slaves in tne West Indies, when suffering under the lash." Maj. Browner, of H. M. S., reports a similar instance which transpired under the surveillance of constant double guards of Hindoos andMusselmen, who are hostile in interests, thus rendering trick or collusion impossible. Dr. Braid says: "I think that the evidence afforded by these narratives proves, beyond doubt, thatthe Fakeers possessed the power they represented themselves to have acquired, and per formed the feats mentioned bona fide ; that they were self-hypnotists; that they were in a state of" temporary hi bernation, or trance, during which, although the lamp of life was burning slowly, still it was burning, otherwise death would have been the inevitable result." Remarkable and important therefore, as the phenomenan which I contend for as broducable by.hypnotism are. it must at once be obvious to every candid and intelligent member of the" profession that they violote no established law and recognized principle in physiological and psychological science. It is on record that Samuel Chilton, of Tinsbury, near Bath, England, in 1694 fell asleep, and after sleeping a whole month, awoke and went to his work as usual. He was a laborer, twenty-five years of age. not fat, but muscular. In 1696 he again fell asleep and continued so for seventeen weeks, during the last six of which he ate nothing. In 1697 he slept for six months, but the record does not state anything about his eat ing during that occasion. To Liquor. fonkers Gazette. . "Why, how is this, Brimmer?

Until tne poison is expelled from the system there can be no cure for this loathsome and dangerous malady. Therefore, the only effective treatment is a thorough course of Ayer's Sarsapariiia— the best of all blood purifiers. The sooner you begin the better ; delay is dangerous. i I * I was troubled with catarrh for over two years. I tried various ; remedies, and was treated by a number of physi cians, but received no benefit until I began to take Ayer's Sarsapariiia. A few Dottles of this medicine cured me of this ' troublesome complaint and - com* pletely restored my health."— Jesse M. 1 Boggs, Holman's Mills, N. C. i . "When Ayer's Sarsapariiia was rec ommended to me for catarrh, I was in clined to doubt its efficacy. Having * i tried so many remedies, with little ben efit, I had no faith that anything would cure me. 7 I became emaciated from loss l of appetite and : impaired . digestion. I had nearly lost. the sense of smell, and my system was badly deranged. I was about discouraged, when a friend urged me to try Ayer's Sarsapariiia, and re ferred me to persons whom it had cured of catarrh. After taking half a dozen bottles of this medicine, I am convinced that the only sure way of treating .this obstinate disease is through the blood." —Charles H. Maloney, 113 Kiver St., Lowell, Mass.
