5, The Uses of Hypnotism. Daniel T. Bulkley, money broker, of 'Portland, Oregon, alleges himself to be the victim of a strange hypnotic swindle. Until recently he enjoyed the acquaintance of two young men, members of the Portland Hypnotic Club. On the 20th of August,” said Bulk- ley to the detectives, “the two men called on me, and after talking to me half an hour or so they showed me a .wondrously beautiful diamond. I am a good judge of stones, and this I considered the greatest gem I ever be- held. One of the men claimed it had been in his family upward of a cen- tury. His mother needed $800 to fore- stall the foreclosure of a mortgage, and authorized him to hypothecate the stone for that sum. She was willing to pay three per cent a month for’the loan. -“I hadn’t more than $780 in my safe just then, but the owner'of the jewel was satisfied to take that. The dia- mond was deposited in a tin box and sealed in my presence, and I after- ward placed it in the bank I do busi- . ness with for safe keping. The two men subsequently did not call on me so frequently, and from some un- known.cause I lost interest in the club and its object. "Last Saturday I intuitively re- solved to look once again at the diamond,,and to my horror I discovered it to be nothing but a worthless stone. Then I realized that my two friends had hypnotized me on the afternoonJ «was swindled out of $780.” Mr. Bulkley added that he saw the two men when he could not help con- fessing to the bunco operation con- ducted while they had their victim under hypnotic influences. They promised to make restitution. MW” (iun=Shot Wounds. Major E. A. Garlington was shot through the arm at the battle of "' Wounded Knee,” December 29, 1890, the last fight between the Indians and our troops. It is not often that a regular army officer certifies to the value of a proprietary remedy, but this is what Major Garlington says about SANA-cm: "WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2!, 1895. “I have used SALVA-CEA for soreness or rheumatic pains in the muscles of my arm, which is dis- abled from a gun-shot wound involv- ing the elbow joint ;relief was quick and complete. E. A. GARLINGTON, Major and Inspector General, U. S. A." Not many people suffer from gun-shot wounds, to be sure, but lots of us do sufier from piles, local skin irrita- tion, chafings, colds and nasal catarrh, and SALVA-CEA is just as efficacious in all of these as in gun-shot wounds.

A Chemical Sti‘ident Has a. Queer Experi— ence in hiaking Experiments. There is a new peril that threatens students who putter over manufac- tured gas, as a young man at an Eastern college can testify. He was inflated by his discovery to a. size much larger than nature intended. He was working in the chemical lab- oratory of the college, trying to make hydrogen gas out of sulphuric acid and zinc. He had manufactured quite a little gas, when he began to have rather queer sensations. His forehead felt as if something were wrong with him, and he felt queer in general. Still he thought nothing of it in particular until a fellow student told him that he was swelling up,- that blotches were coming out on his face just as.if he had the hives. The young man began to be alarmed when he found out what was happen- ing to him, and that he was growing stout in an unexpected and far from pleasing manner. He concluded to consult a doctor, and kept growing uncomfortable all the way to the physician’s residence, and by the time he got there his face and neck were purple. He bore the appearance of having been severely choked, and he felt as if a giant hand had clutched his windpipe. Strange pains darted through his limbs, but he wasn’t nearly as ill as he was frightened. To the doctor the case did not seem a serious one, and after giving the young man some medicine he sent him back to the college. He didn’t really know what was the'matter with him. He had taken, when working in the laboratory, a jar from under the hood where exper- iments are conducted, and unthink- ingly took it to the sink to wash it out. ‘As he did so, he either inhaled the contents of the jar or the fumes of sulphuric acid. The doctor had told him he didn’t know which he had inhaled, and he was by no means cer- tain himself, and therefore he couldn’t be sure what the effect would be. Ev- idently he was on the road to become a human balloon—at least his size in- dicated that—and just how far he would continue to inflate was a con- undrum. He passed though the dif- ferent stages of inflation without re- alizing what had happened in its en- tirety, but the result was only too ap- parent. After a few hours the swell- ing began to rapidly disappear, and he was again nearly his normal size. AN OCTOGENARIAN SGORCHER. Miss Yates Claims tobe the Oldest \Vheel- Woman on the Pacific Coast, Mrs. Christina E. Yates claims the distinction of being the oldest wheel— woman. 'She is proud of the record she has made awheel, and stands ready to meet any woman of her age, either in a contest of skilful riding or as a matter'of endurance. Miss Yates is 80 years old. She says that age does not count when it comes to riding a bicycle. She can wheel her way over the roughest roads, and sel- dom gets weary. Miss' Yates resides at 960 Grove street, Oakland, where she can be seen almost any day going out for her exercise. She gave an exhibition of riding in Jeflerson Park in the pres- ence of a number of people. The way she sailed around the paths and cut the figure eight with the wheel was a revelation to the few young damsels who had been inclined to make some But Miss Yates does not fear the smiles of the younger members of her sex. On the contrary, she enjoys attracting some attention, and is pleased to be recognized as the champion old lady rider. “I believe I am the oldest woman bicycle rider on the coast,” said Miss Yates, after giving an exhibition of her riding and posing for her picture. “I am proud of it, and I'intend to hold the record. I do not believe that there is a woman of my age in the state who can outdo me in ordinary or trick riding. 'It was queer the. way I learned to ride. I saw lots of these old gray-headed men around town sailing along on their wheels, and I came to the conclusion that there must be something good in it. I said to myself, if an old man can ride a wheel, surely an old woman. can equal him. So I got a wheel and commenced to ride, and now here I am, a maiden lady of 80 years, and the champion rider of my sex as to age. In a short time I am going back to my old home in Columbus, Ohio, and I’m just going to astonish the na- tives. Won’t the old boys open their eyes when they see Christina coming into town on a wheel and cutting a figure eight on the way?” No Desire for Honors. Mrs. Zachary Taylor had bitterly apposed her husband’s nomination. “It is a plot to take him from me,” she said. and looked forward to the pub- lic claim on him with dread, and de- clined to have anything to do with public receptions or hospitalities of the Executive Mansion. Mrs. Bliss, the newly married daughter, led the White Hofise affairs and became a social power. When the President died Mrs. Taylor knew that her words had been prophetic, and after the pom- pous funeral was over, she would not linger a day nor ever speak of the White House or Washington after. ward. ‘ ‘Why she “Was Out.

The nose is such a prominent fea- ture that it is‘apt to suffer severely when there is anything of a “smash- surgical skill is very frequently called upon to patch up broken noses, and sometimes to even plant a nose where there is none, One case, likely to be long known as “the blackbird case,” is recorded from the London Royal Free Hospital. A servant girl was brought in with her nose smashed by a hydraulic lift coming in contact with it. The surgeon sent out for a blackbird, took out its breast bone, and managed to insert it where the broken cartilage had been, with com- plete success in restoring the maid’s former appearance. A severer task was set for the sur- geons of another London hospital by an unfortunate individual. who, hav- ing by default of nature no nose at all. wanted to be furnished with one. Willing to oblige him, an amputated finger of another patient was grafted on to his face, but it was found that amputation had Cfl"""',l the finger to die, and it failed to .ikc. The undaunted “noseless man” then agreed to the surgeon's suggestion that one of his own (the patient’s) fin- gers should be cut off to furnish the missing nasal organ, but in order that the finger should not be wasted should the operation prove unsuccessful, the patient’s arm was inclosed in plaster, and for four weeks he had to hold his finger to his face, in the hope of its taking root. It ultimately did, and was then cut off from the hand, and now remains fixed as a nose, having been so ma- nipulated that it can no longer be recognized as a finger, and the pro cess of shaping it is proceeding, so that ultimately what is expected to be a very passable nose will be the result. There was recently seen at the Paris-2 Academy of Medicine a young wo- man to whom Dr. Berger, an emi- nent French surgeon, had supplied an entire under lip, in place of the one nature had given her, which she ac- cidentally lost. He had made good the loss with a piece of flesh out from her arm, and had accomplished the substitution with remarkable :kill. There was no apparent disfigurement around the mouth, and the lip was red and quite natural looking. Dr. Peau, another Paris doctor of eminence, recently showed his col- leagues of the Academy a man aged forty-one from whom so much of the throat and windpipe had been re- moved in operating on tumors that speech was lost. An artificial larynx was made and inserted, and has re- stored his voice. The mechanism consists of a spiral silver tube cov- ered with India rubber, which causes no discomfort, and_can be inserted in the throat or removed by the patient himself. THE CHINESE JUGGLERS. They Cut People to Pieces and Then Put Them Together Again. The court jugglers in the time of Kubla Khan made it appear to those who looked on as if dishes from the table actually flow through the air One of the travelers who visited the regions of which Marco gives us some account, says: “And jugglers cause cups of gold to fly though the air and offer themselves to all who list drink.” And Ibn Batuta, a Moor who visited Cathay a century after, give: this account of a similar incident: That same night a juggler who was one of the Khan’s slaves made his up pearance, and the Amir said to him‘ “Come and show us some of, your marvels.” Upon this he took a wooden ball. with several holes in it, through which loose thongs were passed, and laying hold of one of these, slung it into the air. It went so high that we lost sight of it altogether. It was the hottest season of the year, and we Were outside in the middle ,of the pal- ace court. There now remained only a little of the end of a thong in the conjurer’s hand, and he desired one of the boys who assisted him to lay hold of it and mount. He did so, climbing by the thong, and we lost sight of him also! The conjurer then called to him three times, but getting no an- swer he snatched up a knife as if in great' rage, laid hold of the thong. and disappeared also! By and by he threw down one of the boy’s hands, then a foot, then the‘other hand, and then the other foot, then the trunk, and last of all the head! Then he came down himself, all pulling and panting, and with his clothes all bloody kissed the ground before the Amir and said something to him in Chinese. The Amir gave him some order in reply, and our friend then took the lad’s limbs, laid them to gether in their places, and gave a kick. when, presto! there was the boy, who got up and stood before us! All this astonished me beyond meas me, and I had an attack of palpita- tion like that which overcame me once before in the present-.0. of flu.- Sultan of India, when he showed Ill-.5 something of the same kind. The Kazi Afkharuddin was next to me. and quoth he: “VVallahl—-it is my opinion there has been neither going up nor coming down, neither marring nor mending; it is all hocus pocus!"— Noah Brooks in St. Nicholas. \Vhy He Was Out.
