TheUsesofflypuotism. v RUSSIAN EDITORS HARD HIT.
Daniel T. Bulkley, money broker, Oi
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 Bull-:-
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 i-n 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 afternoon I 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.
Allowing Papers to Appear.
In Russia permission must be first
obtained before one can publish a pa-
per and this is not granted to all who
care to apply. The candidate for this
privilege must first curry favor with
the Government—that is to say, with
officials, and, in country places espe-
cially, with the Governor of the prov-
ince or with the Governor-General,
where such. an Official holds sway.
Then he must possess his soul in pa
tience. Sometimes three, fOur, or
more years may pass away before the
right to start any new periodical is
recognized, and even then the pub-
lisher cannot transfer his rights to
another without official permission.
Thus the publication becomes a spe
cial privilege, and the monopoly is of
some value in St. Petersburg and Mos-
cow, for in those cities the publisher
has to deposit a guarantee of 5,000
roubles (about £500). This deposit is
required for a “superior” privilege
which the press in the capital enjoys
over and above that of the provincial
press. This privilege does not, how-
ever, amount to much. It may, indeed,
be likened to the right of a Turkish
Pasha to be hanged by a silken cord
instead of a hempen rope.’ In the pro-
vinces the editor is obliged to sub-
mit the manuscripts to the censor be.
fore they can be printed. In the capi-
tals the newspaper must be submitted
in printed form not later than 11 p. m.
on the day before its appearance. Thus
Russian dailies are unable to publish
telegrams and news which arrive too
late to be set up by the hour named.
But obtaining permission to estab-
lish a newspaper is only the first step
which the proprietor has to take. The
periodical must have an editor, and in
respect of this functionary a further
permission is required. It has oc~
curred over and over again that a
whole list of candidates for an editor-
ship has failed to receive Oflicial sane
tion, and this refusal need not neces-
sarily be accompanied by any explana-
tion. One need not, therefore, be sur-
prised that many editors serve no
other function than to lend their name
with the object of satisfying the Of-
iicials. Even after the permission to
publish is granted, and the editor of—
ficially sanctioned, the real troubles
only then begin. By everybody and
on all hands the provincial paper is
bullied and harassed. Certainly, it
dare not ofiend any official, from the
highest to the lowest. A few months
ago, for instance, there was published
in the official “Turkestanskya Vedo-
mosti” a document which, had it ap-
peared in any English paper, would
pass for a huge joke. It was a copy
of a complaint made by an official to
his chief to the effect that an editor
had dared to print an article “On the
possibility. of exterminating black
beetles in the city." The complaint
read as follows: “As there appeared

for examination and correction.” In
so humiliating a position as that ex-
emplified by this complaint there is
surely no other press in the world, not
excepting even Turkey.
The metropolitan press, however, is
less subject to Official tyranny. It can
quite freely discuss beetles, not be-
cause there is nobody to prohibit the
oifence, but because the authority of
the officials in the capitals does not
largely depend upon the number of
black beetles in St. Petersburg or Mos-
cow. When, however, any city official
considers his authority really menaced
by the metropolitan press, the latter
is in no less deplorable a state than
the provincal. When a Minister con-
siders it'desirable to exclude a particu-
lar question from public discussion, he
unceremoniously sends round to the
editors a circular to this effect, and
any editor who neglects to comply
with the circular is liable to be pun-
lshed..

They swam together well, but
walked together awkwardly. As they
walked the forelegs acted simulta-
neously, so in turn the hind legs, leav-
ing alternately the front and back of
the shell without support.
Thus, by a slow teetering or rocking
gait they could go-whcre they would.
In starting they almost invariably
pulled persistently in opposite direc-
tions, which drew them laboriously
backward three or four feet. Resting
a moment, they would start together
and make the circuit of the yard.

How to Cure :1 Severe Cold.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him to
be in amost miserable condition. It. was
undoubtedly a. bad case of la grippe and
recognizing it. as dangerous he took imme-
diate steps to bring about a. speedy cure.
From the advertisement of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and the many good recom-
mendations included therein, we concluded
to.make a first trial of the medicine. To
say that it was satisfactory in its results, is

MAKINEI ARTIFICIAL EARS.
A Delicate Task and an Expensive Product
of Vulcanized Rubber.
» Ina certain New York workshop the
other day, where much scientific work
is .done, there was shown to :1. Tribune
representative a little box some seven
or eight inches long, less than tWo
inches broad, and hardly half an inch
high. .
“There’s $500 worth of goods in that
box,” said the foreman, as he lifted
off the cover, displaying five rubber
ears lying in cotton. “These are for
four different men and one woman-

they need npw is for the artist to call
for them and touch ’em up according
to little slips we’ll give them telling
just how the coloring should go on.
We studied our customers carefully
when we took the orders.
“A hundred dollars seems a big
price, doesn’t it, to pay for a little
thing like one of those ears that’s so
flexible you can crumple it up in your
hands easily? But people that have
never made artificial ears have no idea
of the work that is on them.
“When finished the new ear is past-
ed on the Old stump, or simply set pre-
cisely where the old ear was, and not
one man in a thousand can tell the dif-
ference. It is really only the first car

cate ears for about $20 each. There is
one customer on our books hailing
from Chicago who buys five ears a
year from us, on an average. I don’t
know what he does with them all, but
he seems to want them.
“The demand, take it altogether, is
limited, and I don’t suppose we ever

about Queen Victoria, because she has

pictures of her are also printed. Some«
thing which has'a greater personal in-

her first baby, which she made her--
self.
The baby is the present Empress
Frederick of Germany, mother of the

of the drawing may be seen the leg-
end. “V. R. del et scit, 22, 2, 18-11,
showing that Her Majesty has not
only drawn but engraved this work of
art.
The drawing is both rare and curi-
ous. The Queen has dabbled consid-
erably with the brush and pencil, but
has seldom permitted a. work of such
a family character as this to be pub-
lished. It is said by her biographers
that'she had much skill as an artist,
and although this may be a courtly
remark, it is pretty certain that she
worked with commendable industry to
acquire many accomplishments.
The drawing, though rough“ is not
without merit. Probably she was giv-
ing too much attention to domestic
details at the time to finish it very
carefully. The manner in which the
baby is represented is a pretty. and
ingenious one. It is held up so that
its royal person almost hides the face
of the nurse. The parrot adds to the
homely character of the scene.
'All through the first act of “secret
Service,” at the Garrick, the price tag
on a mantel clock hung in full view
of the audience. The opening night
of “Evangeline” Dixey wore the man
facturel"s tag on the back of his Lone
Fisherman overalls. Little points that
seemed funny to the spectators. And
speaking of tags recalls the story of
the railroad porter who was seen car-
rying a dog. .Where are, you going
with that beast ” asked a friend.
“Sure, I don’t know, and the dog
don’t know. The blamed fool ate his
tag.”
