AN OBJECT LESSON FOR BOYS.
For bcncllt of boy rcadcrs I dcscrlbc

Thls farnier leaves nll tools whure used

wherc hc used It last, certaln of llnilliig

Thc dwclllngs and outbuildlngs of tho

says his father had aplaceforcvcrythlng
and rcquired his boys to kccp everythlng

aii' tool or Implcmcnt ln thc darkcst

carelessly left out of place his father
would ln sonie way dcteet the culprlt
wlthout asking any questlons, and thcn
when nlght sct ln he would ask for that
tool and scnd the guilty one to gct it.
Once thls man was callcd out of bcd iu

rcaehcd a ccrtaiu point, she applics for

usually scorns thc suggcstion to go wlth
out tca. It has been suggestcd that the
dyspepsia in these cases attributcd to tca
may rather be duc to iiisufllcicnt food.
It is very doubtful, howevcr, if, iu the
casc referrcd to, the food Is sulllcieut.
No doubt there are thosc who sull'erfrom
lack of suitablc food, and who, if they
usc tca, losc morc than they gain by it ;
but such are unt fouud among thc tca
drinkers of the hospitals, cxcept as they
wiltully forsakc good food for tea. It is
to be borne iu iiiiiul that the pcople of
whom these are representatives get froin
tea all the hann there is iu It, sinec, in
one of the slaug phrascs of the day, they
"work it for all it is worth." Not only
do they get all the theine and most of the
volatllc oil, but tlieir niethod of prcpar
ing it extracts all the tanuiu nosslble.
The Chluese, who are the ideal tea-drink-crs,
pour boiling water on the leaves at
tlie very inoinent of use; but it is thc
practice of the poorcr class to kccp a
"potof tea" stecplng on the stove all
day loug, to be drunk from at intcrvals.
It Is probable that much of tho dyspep
sia and coustipation to which thls class
of tea-drunkards is subject is due to this
continual use of an astringcnt dceoction.
It Is not to be inferred. howcver. that tlin
auuse or tea ls conllned to tho poorer

difllcult to produco hypnotic slccp in old

llfo nro subject to naturnl somnambulism
or slecp walldng are latcr in life good
hypnotio subjccts, just as they aro nlo
likely to Imj victiius of hysteria and othcr

Jlany aro tlio processes oniploycd for
prodticing hypnoais. One that is very
frecjucntly used consists in fixing tiio gazo
upon soino hriglit object placed a littlo
abovo tho eycs and in front of tho median

awliile, when the subject has, so to speak,
been eduoated. various nioro exix?ditious
uiethods may be employed. Thus a jct
of elcctrio light or a violcnt blow stmck
on a gong near tlio ear of tho subject will
quickly induco sleep. Again, in hypno
tizablo ixji-sons, the surface of tlie body
often prescnts special points, "hypnogenic
zoncs, " as thoy aro called, analagous to
tho ''hysterogcuic zones." Simplo pres

Even in tho caso of tho most susceptiblo

of hypnotization develop, at flrst, only

On tho plains, in Assiniboin, I found a
littlo lady in the larger of tho only two
stores in tho place, who told nie that tho
Indians on a reservatiou closo by had
bcgun to grow restless, and were mani
festing tho fact by unusual insolence.
Only tho day beforo a dozen of tho bravea
had como into the Btore. when sho was
dtark alono in it, and had dcmanded
whi.sky, a commodity they were not al
lowed to touch and no one was penmtted
to sell. Sho told them she had nono.
and they sat, as Indians will, for n long
time, as if to show her they would not
go away until they got it. Ctiriously
t nough, no ono catno to tho storo from
tlio settlcineiit. By and by tlio Indians
proposed to bcarch for tho whisky. Sho
laughed at them and told them they
could bearch. They did to, pecping and
poking evcrywhcre that thoy could think
of AVhen they olfered to go up stairs
to ner living apartmcnts, she stood in tlio
doorway and told them they must not
vcnturo there. She flattened her back
against the door and defied them.
Sho was less than tho ordinary height,
and did not weigh over 100 pounds, but
sho quailed them with the cye of a bravo
nnd determined womau, nnd when, pres
ently, Bomo white men camo to mako
purchascs the Indians took tlicmselves
off. Only a few nights before that this
samo wouian had seen a wolf in hcr
back yard, and had gono out and
"shooed'' it away with her apron and
Bcoldiug, just as one of our girls rnight
do to a cat. I never saw a man that I
thought moro plucky than Bhe. Per
haps, though, what no Indian or wolf
could do might bodono bya mouse. But
it is bcyond all reason to expect the

Thero is very little contrast between
tho Swiss and French Boldier. Both are
below tho staturo of tho German, Eng
liah and American soldier; inferior intel
lectually and phj-sically. Tho Swiss war
rior wcars a cap helinet, which makes
lum look at onco liko a member of a
rural band in Anierica. It is of black
cloth, with deep blue trimmings and
with black silk braid about tho edges.
The front is cockcd and tho rcar slopes
and has the helniet brim. IIo wcars a

narrow red cord. At his bide is a short,
heavy swor 1 always. His side arms aro
complcted by a five-shot 42-calibro re
volvcr, heavy enouuh to bo used as a
bludgeon in closo quarters. Also, like tho
French soldier, the Swiss is armed with a
magazino nccdle gun, and is givcn so
much active training tliat ho is invariably
a fair marksman. In this, as nearly all
continental armics, thero is by govern
ment authority an inducement for boI
dicrs to bccomo fino niarksmcn. But
tho pay of tho continental soldier is so
low and generally his Bervice so nearly
meninl that ho takes littlo interestin what
ho does. The pay is about one-fourth
that oi tho American soldier and less than
half of that paid tho English Cor. Phila-

BECAUSE it is so unusually handsomc and attractive in appcar
ance, many pcrsons think the Ivory Soap is intendcd for toilct
usc only. While it may be uscd for the toilct with plcasant and
sattsfactory results, it is a laundry soap in all that thc namc implics.
Prof. Silliman, of Yale College, says: "As a laundry soap the
Ivory has no superior."
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the ' Ivory';"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
