How Mothers Can_Traln Their Children
by Hypnotic Suggestion.‘
Chicago mothers are pursuing an up-
to-date way of training their children.
It is .by suggestion.
This at first brings to mind all the
terrors of hypnvo'tism. Educators have
been startled at this apparent applica-
tion of a species of the black art by
mothers to their babes in the cradle.
But a kindly matron who has tried if
insists that it is nothing of the sort.
She declares that in suggestion not
the faintest degree of hypnosis is nec-
essary. .The force employed is merely
the action of one mind, alert and act—
ive, upon another mind, rendered for
the time being quiescent, either by
will power or during a. sleep, which
may be either natural ’or induced. For
all purposes of child training the natu-
ral sleep usually proves the best, in
addition to being the simplest and eas-
iest to obtain.
The mother, therefore. who wishes to
influence her child for good by means
of suggestion, merely talks to the little
one during sleep precisely as she would
were the child awake, having first,
however, paved the way to the childish
consciousness by gently and lovingly
mentioning her purpose in the day
time.
"‘When you are sound asleep to-
night,” is the manner in which one very
successful Chicago mother suggester
commences operations, holding her
child in her arms, “I am coming to talk
to you about the nice things papa and
I want you to do; mamma will help you
to do them in that way. So you must
be ready to listen to me even though
you are asleep, when I begin to talk to
you.”
To the mind of thechild, anything
”mamma” does is natural and right, so
she accepts the nightly talk for what
it really is, a natural working out of
her. parents’ affection for her, and is
not only ready but anxious to listen.
That she actually does listen, with
mental. if not physical ears, is proved
by her subsequent conduct, And the
mother, by carefully alluding to the
subject of the nightly admonitions only
when an especially pleasant feeling ex-
ists between herself and the child, in-
sures pleasant associations for and a
ready acceptance of them on the part
of the baby.
“Tell me something nice when you
talk to me to—night, mamma,” is a
frequent remark of the delighted little
one.
The mother who wishes to make a
similar experiment should, just before
retiring for the night, and when herself
in a calm and peaceful frame of mind,
take up her position by the bedside of
the child, and, gently taking the little
hands into her own—at least if‘the child
seems restless under the sound of her
softly modulated voice, or until the ex-
periment l.as become an assured one—,
quietly talk to the little one precisely
as she would were the child awake.—

SPINSTERS lN session/x.
Their Large Number Due to Stringe'nl
Property Laws.
Spinsters are said to be more numer-
ous in the Bermuda islands in propor-
tion to the population than in almost
any other locality. This spinsterhood is
due to the stringent property laws. The
semi-[tropical climate of the islands
and their isolation have made of the
inhabitants of English stock a. quiet, al-
most sluggish
nearly Arcadian. The women especial-
ly, many of whom live very narrow
lives, never leaving these islands, are
remarkable for their old-fashionedh-os-
pitality and a natural ease of manner
which seems to arise from an entire
faith in those with .,whom they come
in contact.
In Bermuda, as in England, property,
especially real estate, remains in the
same families for long periods, and
some of the descendants of the first
settlers still posssess lands which never
have passed out of their families. No
alien can acquire a title to land in Ber—
inheri-
tance. This is chiefly a. precautionary
measure against the Portuguese, who
flock to the country am: go in largely
for onion growing. But the law pro-
vides that if a woman marries a for-
eigner she shall not only lose her landed
property, but shall also become incapa-‘
ble of inheriting any. This law is nat-
urally not popular with the ladies, who
see their brothers mate with Americans
and other aliens, and would fain have
the same liberty. Occasionally Ber-
mudian girls renounce their birthrights
for love’s sake, but as a rule the charms
of peniless maidens are not sufficient
for young men to desire them for wives,
and thus many girls are doomed to
single blessedness in Bermuda simply
by the law of the land—Philadelphia
Ledger.
_ Harvesting on Ice.
Farmers who live in the vicinity of
Muskego Lake, in Southeastern Wis-
consin, derive a profitable income from
the lake each winter by harvesting hay
on the ice. The shallowness of the
water in the lake bed causes the grass
growing on the bottom to project eon-
siderably above the surface. and wdhen
the ice forms the hay can be cut with
great ease, though it cannot be gotten
at the rest of the year, on account of
the boggy nature of the lake bottom.

DIAMONDS IN AMERICA?“
. They Are Cut. Better Here That: in Europe
Owing to u ~peclal Process.
In no country are there more di-a-
monds to be found than in the United
States, according to the population. It
is estimated by a leading New York
diamond dealer that there are upward
of $500,000,000 Worth of diamonds in this
country. Moreover, this vast amount
is increasing every year.
Until quite recently diamonds were
rarely cut in this country; but Amer-
ican‘inventors have developed a process
for diamond cut-ting which is vastly su-
perior to that done abroad.
The loss in weight through cutting is
sometimes fully one—half, but the value
is increased probably more than two-
fold.
The Dutch city of Amsterdam
has been the great diamond-cutting
centre of the world from 'time immemo-
rial, and up to a few years ago over 12,-
000 people in that place were directly
or indirectly dependent upon this trade.
But it was not reasonable to suppose
that Ar isterdam should continue to
hold. a monopoly of diamond cutting.
As one of the greatest importing cities
of the world, New York gradually of-
fered inducements to diamondcutters
and an industry has been gradually
built up there that is now very flour-
ishing and profitable. In 1859 Henry D.
Morse, of Boston, Mass, invented a. ma-
chine for cutting and polishing dia—
monds, and since then improvements
have been made upon it that are very
important. The foreigners continue to
polish their stones by hand, but in this
country machinery is largely used.
A famous gem expert places the total
value of all the diamonds in the world
at over $1,ooo,ooo,ooo, ‘of which $350,000,—
000 worth are in the hands of dealers,
carried as stock. All the other diamonds
are in the hands of private individuals,
and the question naturally arises, ‘Who
owns them? This is not so easily an-
swered, except in the case of large and
world—famous ge-ms.-'—Godey’s Maga-
zine.
BULL-FIGHTERS NEXT TO ROYALTY

great drain of the Cuban war, her peo-
plefind plenty of means to support this
amusement. Nobody, in the nation
commands such an income from his
daily effort as the popular bull—fighter.
*Mazzantini, one of the most famous of
these, earned 396,000 pcsetas last year,
it is said, or over $79,000. He participa-
ted in 66 fights and killed 163 bulls. An-
other popular torrcro, Reverte, took
part in 71 fights during the year, killed
160 bulls and earned 276,000 pesetas, or
$55,200. These men stand next to roy-
alty itself in the popular mind. No
great singer, actor or orator approaches
them. 'They amuse the people with
spectacles of blood.
That the sensibiities of such a people
Should be dulled to human as well as
brute suffering can hardly be question-
ed. The bull fight, like the gladiatorial
fight, cultivates the brutal instincts,
depreciates the value of human life,
and makes men comparatively cruel
and insensible to the misery of others.
'w'e may thus turn to contemplate the
atrocious policy of extermination by
slow starvation adopted by the Spanish
- Government in Cuba under the guise
of a war measure with little wonder. It
has been made tolerable to the nation

A Moravian Cemetery.
“There is a cemetery in Winston-Sa-
lem, North Carolina, which wins out
according to my experience,” said a
prominent tobacco dealer toa Wash-
ington Star reporter. “I spent a Sun-
day the-re not along ago and was won-
derfully entertained .and interested. It
is the burial place of the Moravians, a
communistic religious organization,
which exists there in very large num-
bers. The Moravians are a very desir-
able kind of people. They are strict in
their religious views, it is true, but
they are a determined, untiring and
prosperous people. They all work and
they owe 1-0 one a. penny. In their ceme-
tery, as in their life, 'they have a. place
for everything and-everything in its
place. At one end of the cemetery mar-
ried men are buried and the opposite
side married women. At the other end
unmarried women, and on the opposite
side the unmarried men are buried.
Each grave has a. stone, but it contains
nothing but the bare announcement of
the name of the deceased, no date of
death or age of 'the deceased being
.given in any. case. Children are placed
respectively on the male and female
sidcs'of the cemetery, but there is no
family grouping." ‘ '
Novel R. lilway Traveling.
Passengers to Bulawayo by the new
railway experience somewhat of a nov-
city in crossing the Shashi River. A
correspondent writes that when he
wished to go over there-were three or
four feet of water in the river, and con-
sequently the engines could not cross,
as the water would have extinguished
the fires. The method adopted was to
make a. train equal in length to the
width of the‘river, and then an engine
was placed at the rear, which hustled
the train across the river, so that it ex-
tended its full width. Another engine—
or more literally speaking—a brace of
engines—was waiting on the far side,
and these were coupled to the train and
dragged it out. It was a new way of
fording a river by the rail. The bridge
at the Shashi had been completely
washed away, and at one time the wa-
ter was eight feet ov-er'the old bridge.—
