Tbs ■object looked at Urn box sad at him with SB irrecoiote, rhanging expnsrton. •Ton don’t know, I son,” sold Dr. Ham mond, touching him oa the ehoolder. At tho teach tha mao beramo transformed. He looked confident and peaceful. “Ho ic now nadir my control. I no do what I plctm with him,” mid Dr. Hommood to tho dam. "In hie prreent Mato I mold nmthto man m an inelru maat in committing a crime, nod after I had wtlhdmwa my inffoeace aad given him hack hlo wiU ha would remember ehciilwt.lv Bathing shoot H, Don't you waat to rtt dews r ha naked the rebject, “Tea, I feel tired," aad ha moved to ward a chair.

Ha made an effort to seat himaelf. then straggled frantically and at length atood up perfectly rigid. “Why donl you alt down?” **l cant,” ha answered, helplessly. Neither could ha raiaa hie arm or lower It whan the operator staled that it was impnadhli A Oliver dollar was flung ■pom the floor and ha made a sodden lunge for it. “Too can’t get that,” said Dr.'Hammond; “it’a a thousand miles awny.” “That's ao,” aaid the subject sadly; “it leaks as If It wma does hy. bath’s a thou •and mttm sway.” Whan a student sent it spinning across the floor again ha only looked longingly ■liar It, without making any attempt to “Why don’t yon go and take a ride this beautiful afternoon r asked Dr. Ham- **l hove no bona; I’m 100 poor to bay an.” “No horse?

By Jingo, ha will sorely throw yon.” Daring these shoots the subject became vary excited, and atood over the chair as if raising In the stirrups. At the words, “Be wiO surely throw yon,” be flung his hands upward and rolled off the chair to the pound. “Yon’ie terribly hurt,” said the phy striae, bending over him. “Yon mint fed very sore. I know yon do. How’s yonr beadT” “Broken.” sneweted the subject, much to tbe amusement oI the students, and fro a lev momenta be lay perfectly still, wkb dosed eyes. Alter an imaginary bntbbro and s«nr be was ktil he fall better. He (nUy agreed with that opinion and struggled to hie feet. “Why, you’re all right again.” said Dr. Hammond “Yon’ro looking as (rash aa aJuneroae.” “Ham flail better in my life” replied the subject. - "But 1 bare a terrible piece of news Id fan. Ceaua am near me. No one amt barolt.” “Whit la Hr* whispered tbe subject. “Tan aaa that maa leaning against the mall Mar tbs door?

An . bate Baabad otto bis face, and with aery barnabad forward. "B* cxraful,” whispered Dr. Hammond, dragging him bank, “fake him un aware*.” After an effort he became calm, and hi* expreeaion changed to one of intense conning. He knelt down in a comer, took a lead pencil from hia pocket and commenced to sharpen it upon the sole of hia boot aa if It were a knife. The students held their breath and watched his erery movement with excited eyes. “What will he do next?" was the thought in every mind. He roee to his feet with out making a sound, and drew the pencil along hia Anger as if tcstingthe edge. It was evidently sharp enough tp suit him for he drew back hia Angers with an ex clamation aa if the pencil had drawn blood, and commenced sucking his thumb. Keeping close to the waH he crept up be hind the supposed murderer, who had purposely turned bis hack. There waa a moment’s pause on the pert of the sub ject, then a glare came into his eyes, the pencil Hashed through the air three tiroes and the deed was done. Absurd though H may appear, a shiver ran through the onlookers as the pencil struck. The subject did not want to see the effect of hia subbing, but bounded to the door and would have rushed bareheaded into the street but that he wag stopped by a. couple of men. He struggled like a madman until Dr. Hammond’s voice subdued him. "The police are coming that way. Hide hare under thiaUWe.” His teeth chat tered and his limbs shook aa he crept into the hiding place, his wild eyes Axed upon the door. "Look at that man’s face," said Dr. Hammond to the class; "guilt and terror are stamped upon it. You see a murderer haunted by the fear of (Selection and the remembrance of hia crime. "Poor "doril,” whiapend one ol the ■lndents, “M’s almost tainting with fright. I feel mif I bod Joat finished one of Kteveoeoo's etoriee. Mekee one llilnk of ‘Harkheim,’ doem’t it?” "Yoa may coma oat now,” whiapend Dr. Hammond; "the police hare gone," "Oh, are yoa surer’ he faltered, throating out hia bead aad then drawing it hock. At length he wm convinced that them wm nothing to fear, tod ho crept out, hie face ghastly sod beads ol ponpiration on his forehead. When be had recovered hie composure Ik. Ham mood touched him on the arm and whit pond laaiauatingly: "You’re o poor man. I can .how yon o way to moke plenty ol money just by the stroke ol a poo. Will yoo do Itr’ •• Yes; I'll do it. whatever it to," he ex claimed. “I want yoo to forge s check for 120,* 000. dost copy this signature and yoo ■hall have half of ft." "Give it to me. Give me open. There yoo are. Mom's the weed, remember,” and the check was forged. “Col. Ingersoll will now address the class,’’ said Dr. Hammond, and he mo tioned to the subject to step upon Uie platform. He had none of the famous atheist’s eloquence, but he bad a strong voice and a Strong fist. He pounded on the Übie and yelled tiU be was hoarse that there was no God; that Christians walked in darkness, and that he had hell enough on earth without expecting more of it hereafter. Nest ha was Chauncey Depew. He lacked wit quite as much as eloquence, but he announced with a cheeky smile that he “bad the wtflk-over in England,” and he spoke of the prince as “a dear old chap—a particular friend of mine.” His speech was a marvel of old conundrums and stele newspaper Jokes, but he was so funny notwithstand ing that the laughter of the students rang through the building. Fire minutes later he was Talmage. exhorting his listeners to repent, “for the devil stood st every man’s elbow and hell yawned to receive the soul that hesitated." “Before 1 bring this man out of this state,” aaid Dr. Hammond to the class. “I want to show yon how, If I ao will it. 1 can influence him even after his return to aelf-conaciousnesa. Listen to roe.” he aaid emphatically to the subject. “Three minutes after 1 withdraw my power over you you will tell me that my face is black. Do yon bear? Three minute# later!” He touched the subject on the shoul der. the man raiaed his bead as If just awakening, and looked about him won daringly. Half a dozen students had out their watches, and they watched them attentively while they listened to the con versation between the subject and the physician. “Yon remember nothing?” “Not a thing. But I feel very tired,and I’d like a glass of water, fcr my mouth is; perched as If 1 bad a fever.” “Yon shall have that presently. What did yon remember hearing last, when yon came to yourself Just now ?” “Let me see. Oh, yea. I thought yon had just finished your definition of hyp notism. Oh, but doctor”—and be stood up and whispered something in Dr. Ham mood’s ear. “I don't hear yon. Speak louder.” “Your (ace in black.” be eaid apologet- 1 ically, “and I thought yon wouldn’t like to go on lecturing with a streak across your none.” Three minutes had passed to a second. “Ob, you’re mistaken; Uyre’s nothing on my face.” “That’s so,” replied the subject with a smile; “it must here been a shadow.” “Now, would you like to know what you did daring the lest hour? You rode a horse end broke your heed, you stabbed a men, you forged a check, you were In geraoll. Depew and Talmage. and made some remarkable speeches. You did all this, and you remember”— “Nothing.” wne the answer, in a com ically helpless tone, as the subject scratched his head. —New York World. mwcklaw’a Arwlrw flalre la tbe best salve in the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcere, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns, and all akin eruptions, and positive ly cures piles, or no pay required.

Mabel—Good evening, Mr. Adair; I hardly expected any callers this evening, it is so stormy. Allen—l hod no idea the weather was so I Mid when I started out. There is no rain, but the wind is very high. Mabel—Mamma says it is going to rain; her—her rheumatism in her barometer. Allen—l suppose rheumatism and kin dred diseases must be effected by electri cal conditions of the atmosphere. Mabel—Probably. What wonderful progress electrics! science is making now! I hear we are to have not only electric street railways, but electric trunk lines as well. Alien—They will come next. I never bear the expression "trank line” that 1 do not think of a line to carry tranks. Mabel—The same way With me. 1 think of a picture of a big railway station full of trunks and people going to Montreal and Quebec. Were you ever there? Allen—l never got further into Canada than the north bank of Niagara Falls. Yoa have been there, I know. Mabel—Yea, indeed; it was glorious!

The following extract from the diary of Mias Ruth Gilbert, aged eighteen, may possibly have a familiar ring in the can of other young ladies of her own age and tastes “ January I.—Decided to look over my old papers and letters to-day, in order to born what were not valuable. Found in my treasure box a bunch of dried violets, labeled ’June 12. A. G. ll.’ "Who could A. O. H. have been? Not Agnes Harvey, I'm sore. She’s too prosaic to have given me violets, and I’m sure I shouldn’t have wanted to keep them if she had. "Then there was a knot of bine rib | bon done up in silver paper, and marked ITo be burned at my death.’ It seems i terribly unromantic to burn it while I’m ! alive, especially as I haven’t the least idea why I kept it. What could H have been? Perhaps it was our {lass badge in the preparatory year—no, that was yellow—or a bit of tpy dress at the first school reception—or, or—l give it up I "I’ve been looking over old esaiuina ■ tion papers and compositions, too. One paper had the marginal note, ’Always ' remember what we did. in the recitation room No. Four on the ninth of April.’ Now, what could it have been? I don’t think I’m more forgetful than most pen* pie, but some of these reminiscences are beyond me. "My old album, too, la foil of notes Icnn’t understand. Kale Whittier has put initials in all the corners of ths page she need, and though they must have meant something once, I’ve no idea what it could have been. Laura Deane wrote ‘Remember smoked herrings.’ What covld we have bad to do with smoked herrings? “To tell the truth, I don’t believe it pays to be eo sentimental end have no many secrete if thie ie all it amouota to. Who want* to s*ve dried flowers if. in three years, she can’t tell why she did it, or make a note of wonderful happening* that weren’t important enough to be re membered without so much trouble? Not I, for one—though I wouldn’t for anything have the other girls know I’m growing so prosaic.’’ —Go and examine those elegant gold watches at Bedfleld's. They are daisies, and as cheap!
