HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE.

Barlarlea, Forgeries and Marders Un. consciously Committed. IXcw York Herald. The fact that the advance of science ia often retarded through fear of public derision waa never better Illustrated than In some experiments in hypnotism made by Dr. W. A. Hammond some six years ago. Uefore a body of men called the New York Medico-Legal Society he placed a Mr. Gray, a young man employed as a book-keeper in a dry goods store, in a hypnotic state, and made him do things that the other members of the Bociety could hardly belieye. A report of the proceeding was taken by a phonograph, as the meeting was a secret one, only the members of the society and Mr. Gray being present. The experiments were of so remarkable a nature tnat the Publication Committee of the society decided that it would be inexpedient for the society eyen indirectly to commit itself on the subject by publishing the report. They were afraid of being laughed at. So the phonograph never told its tale, except to Dr. Hammond, who made a copy of the report. The recent experiments of M. Charcot and his co-workers in France have brought the wonders of hypnotism to the public's knowledge and belief, so that Dr. Hammond feels no longer bound by any obligations to the society to keep the matter qniet. but that it is desirab'e to show that the honor of making practical experiments in hypnotism belongs to this country instead of France. In fact, the experiments made by Dr. Hammond not only cover the same ground that Mr. Charcot is traveling oyer, but go much farther into the subject. The recent malls from France have brought over several works on the subject, and ttere ia at the present time undoubtedly a general interest and belief in the power of hypnotism. I l"Sirce ttose experiments were made before the society," said Dr. Hammond, "I have frequently made others of a similar nature in my o:3ce. Mr. Gray is the easiest subject to work on that I eyer met. It requires but very little effort to put him in a hypnotic state. I have him up here frequently to experiment upon before people who are interested in the matter." Dr. Hammond then produced the report of his experiments as they were told by the phonograph. In introducing the subject to the society he said: "There is reason to assume that the ancients were well acquainted with hypnotism. About one hundred years ago, however, Mesmer first attracted the profound attention of Earopeans to it. lie, however.'started from an erroneous basis namely, that there was an inherent quality or power In the person operating which accounted for the etfecta produced. That is a yery wrong notion. What I am going to do ia not inherent in me, but in tte person operated upon. Any of you could do it or he could do it himself. "The condition of hypnotism," he continued, "or, as I prefer to call It, syggignocism, meaning the a agreeing of one mind with another mind, is in reality a condition of automatism in which acts are performed without the conscious willing of the subject. We are all more or less automata, for a great many of our acts are performed not only without but against our will. Cases of what we ordinarily call absence of mind are simply cases of automatism. The phenoma of reverie is scarcely to be distinguished in some of their aspects from some of those of hypnotism. "By removing the brain 01 a pigeon we do not destroy its mental faculties. Such a pigeon sees, hears, feels, will swollow food put ifl its mouth, but is incapable of originating any Impulse. It will stand still in the attitude in which it is placed until it dies of starvation, but throw it in the air and it will fly. "Until recently it has been thought impossible to perform experiment Qf this aind on warm-blooded animals. Everyone has seen a hen stagger around after her head is cut off. I have repeatedly seen rattlesnakes perform determinate movements when their heads were cut off. In one instance that came to my knowledge a was coiled up in the middle of a road, when a teamster came along and cut its head off with a single biow of his whip. The snake remained coiled. The man stooped over it and I sur pose touched it in sorue wsy. Ins:ant!r the snake uncoiled itself. Strang forward and struck the teamster full in the forehead with its headless truck. The man was so horrified that he fainted away. "All these facts go to show that there is soretluns ia an atimai's organization besides its brain which ia capable of carrying on the functions of life. Ia hypnotism there is an apparent cutting o.T of certain portion cf the brain, the ba'al ganglia all that mass of gray matter at the base of the brain tuay b able to a;t, but the higher J crlicrs of ths brain npD?ar to be iiupairtd, so a to give rise to 7ery cuiions pteccn.eras. "We are all conscious of our existence. We are all conscious of our identltr. Ia cases of hypnotis u the conacio'Jsr us seems to be sr altered that the individual is not aware of his identity. It ia a ccr.tMioa of doable coasciaaiesj. ''0boiy knows what parts of tha brain are involved in hypnotism. Ths brain can not or:!r;ate anything. It sets all its ideas from without. A person born without any cf the live senses would never be capable of having an idea. Suppose the upper part of the brain is aileep, tha lower part is Kill capable of tr&neaiittingan impulse downward to the muscles of the body, and therefore a man may act in accordance with a perception without haying an ideaoi a thing that is perceived. "Laws are made in accordance with the advancements of science. They comprehend thi I developments of electricity, that were not needed years ago. I think there ia a good deal in this syggignostic condition that should be taken cognizance of by the legal authorities. "There are several ways of bringing men into this syggignostic condition. A yery simple way with Mr. Gray here is to cause him to look at something intently. He is in good general health. So far as I can precelve he is simply an impressionable individual. He is a man of good character, and when in his norm! condition would not commit a crime. I am going to hypnotize him and make him commit some. When a chill he walked in his sleep. He ia now twenty-six years of age." The speaker then held a bit of glass before the young man's eyes, wno immediately become hypnotized. The doctor snapped his finger, said "All right," and the subject waa restored to normal consciousness. By telling the young man to listen .and striking a tuning-fork ho was hypnotized again. 'He never would originate anything In his preset state," continued Dr. Hamrrend. ' lie will see things just as I tell him to s?e them, and will sit jujst as a pigeon does with Its brains out." "How lor.g will be stay in that Condition '.'''.asked Dr. Beard, who was present, "All t! e wiy from one minute to two ja:s. An en scrupulous Individual caa tike subject like this and make him comin;, a burglary or anything else, and he f ui J muafn away. I could tell him to till a?. 7 ose ia this room and he would Co it."

'What are you going to do with it?' 'Use it like any other money." "A policeman saw you, and he Is comin? p)if wi;üou:p:p:BQieitütjou dropped,

He wants to know Ii you did not go in by that window." "I didn't go in by any window." "You had better hide the money." The young man went to one corner of the room and went through the movements of biding the imaginary roll of bills. '.'Hadn't jou better found a hospital with that money?" "I don't want a hospital." "You want the money for yourself?" "I haven't got any money." "Didn't you go into that house and take some money out of it 7" 0, I didn't. Now, what are you going to do about it?" "The policeman found this handkerchief with your name on it and the money in it." "Well, a person could lose a handkerchief and somebody else find it and put the money in it." 'See how imperfect his reasoning is when he is not aware of all the circumstances. Some low part of his brain must be the starting point." Turning to Mr. Gray, he continued: "Now, the policeman has got you by the arm, and is walking you to the station-house up there." Mr. Oray promptly walked to the place indicated, as though led by a policeman. "What would your friends say if they saw you here?" "I don't know. Didn't you tell me to do it? Yon have got me in this hole, and I'll get you In one. "What are you going to do at your trial?" "Get a lawyer." "You think a lawyer will get you out of this scrape?" "If he's a good one." "You haye no money to pay him?" Til get one that don't charge anything." To show that Mr. Gray was not conscious Dr. Hammond heated a caaterizer and scored the subject's neck with it, without producing the slightest change in his countenance. He also pricked him with a pin. He then directed him to put the imaginary money back in the house. "Now, whatever I tell him a thing is, it is that to him. If I tell him that is a dagger," taking up a small piece of card, "it is a dagger, so far as he is concerned. You see that man by the door?" addressing Mr. Gray; "he killed your mother. Take this dagger, creep up to him and stab him." Mr. Gray took the card, cautiously crept up to the man and stabbed him twice in the back, and then returned. "What did yen do with the daeger?" "I threw it away." " It has your name on it" "How so? You gave it to me " "It has, though. You had better go and get it." "I'd rather taks the chances. There would be a crowd around the body and they would see me." " Here you are arrested again for murder. What are you going to do about it? You certainly killed a man. "Did he die?" " Oh, he is dead. Do you s?e that angel coming down there with the flaming sword to destroy you ?" The young man gazed upward and stared at the supposed descending angel with a horrified expression and finally in a frenzy of fear he plunged forward with a shriek and fell on his face. The doctor said " All right," and restored him to consciousness. "What are you doing on the floor? Have you any recollection of what you have been doing?" "No." "What is the last thing you remember?" "Looking at that piece of glass." "Don't you remember the tuning fork?" "Yes, that's so; I do remember that." "How do you feel?" "All right. My neck feels stiff." "Any body can put him in that condition; a child can do it. As soon as the eyes are fixed he is hypnotized." He aain hypnotized the subject. "Are you rich?"

"No, sir." "Suppose you could make tloü.OOu by simply signing another man's name, would you do it?" "I misht." "Well, I know a gentleman named Wood, who has a lot of money in the bank. If you write his name on this check you will get it." "Won't you tell on me?" "No. Fill it up for $20,000. Can you imi'te his writing if I show you some of it?" "I guess so; if I had some paper to practice OE." "Jnst tit down here, and I will g've you som japer " Now, while he is doing that I will barn hi3 reck with this red-hot iron He never gees into this state spontaneous y, aad still i think it i worth while to call attention to the fact that such a condition exists, and how easy it is to get such a person as this joutg man into the condition and ruake , him perp rate crimes. It really seerrrs a matter that requires legislative action. This would be a new crime arisen in consequence of the advancement ol science. We know that we can make people do these things. It seems to me that if the law does not take notice of the matter, after awhile we will find a class of sharpers who know how to use this influence, and they will employ the innocent as instruments of their unlawful schemes, while they, the real perpetrators, remain invisible to the eye of the law and secure from detection. "A person who has never been in the hypnotic state goes into it with much more ditiiculty than at subsequent times. There is no known proportion of people who can be hypnotized. It denends entirely on the class they are taken from. People who are educated and are accustomed to direct others are not so easily rendered hypnotic as those who have always occupied subordinate positiens." Tramps Boasted to Dent h. Eas Fkamisco, March 21. The steamer Belgic arrived to-day from China and Japan. It brought news of a dreadful tragedy at Hsia Shib Chem, China, about twenty miles northeast of Hongebow.

THE WORTH OF YEARS.

Illustrious People Who Have Ltved Long and Retained Their Usefulness. The Home Jou nal. 1 Who speaks slightingly of the yalue of old age? Sir William Temple quotes with approbation the saying of an acquaintance of his, who held that "a man must be a mein wretch who deaired to live after threescore." Bat really this is to Ignore all the pleasures, uses and advantages to be found in plenty in the yale of years. There was more sense in an old French woman she wa not far from eighty of whom it is told that when on one o:cssion she was running over the catalogue of her ailments, her physician said to her: "What would you have, madam? I can not make you young again!" "I know that, doctor," she replied. "What I want you to do is to help me to grow old a little longer." Of the usefulness of old age there can not be a doubt. Useless! Why, a man's work is never done till he dies, and when we find ourselves in the world with the marks of age upon us the natural Inference is that we are left here with something to do. : No age is useless, and just as every day is the beet day in the year, so every age is the best ige of life. oks It is true that old age is cot taken advantage of as it should be. People do not Btudy the art of being old, and so when they come to years let many chances slip which otberwise they might turn to the advantage both of themselves and their fellows. old age has its defects; no one denies it. So bas youth and so has middle life. Bat it has its compensations, and of all unreasonable sayings one of the most unreasonable is that there ever comes a time, unless by our own fault, when old age, as an Eastern poet puts it, "clashes us among thix gs r.o longer of use and value." When strcrgth fails our spirits are apt to sink, but they bink without reason, and the sooner they are brought up again to the point of contentment the better. To despair to put it on the lowest possible ground briBgs no advantage. Old age ia certainly a blessing to be desired and striven after. In his famous treatise on "A Sober Life." Cornaro, a Venetian nobleman, who lived tobe nearly 100, put this in an original way, which we may quote without being exactly held to indorse in strong form of expression. Longevity," he says, "ought to be highly valued by good men. As to others, it is no great ma ter. It is not duly prized by them, since they are a disgrace to mankind, so that their death is rather of service p the public." A we'll-known physician points out how foolish it is to imagine that the period of old age is not one to be desired; that it Is a time of much weariness both of mind and body, and devoid of all enjoyment. "If attention," he says, "has been paid to the health during youth and adult life, so that old age is reached in comparative strength and vigor, there will be much enjoyment in these latter years. Natural constitution, the .circumstances into which a man is born, as well as the condition under which his life work has to be done, have also their place in the result; but trie laws of health, as they are better understood, tend cot only to increase of years but increase of happiaess. But what are we to reckon as the declining period of man's existence? The psint at which old aee taps us on the shoulder, and says it comes to keep us company, varies with every individual. It depends a great deal on circumstances, which are hardly the same in any two cases. Sjme writers have said that a man is old at fortyfive; Others have set down seventy as the normal standard. Dr. John Gardner, who bas written on "Longevity," remarks: "Long observation has convinced me that sixty-three is an age at which the majority of persons may be termed old, and as a general rule we may adopt this as the epoch of the commencing decline of life." Suppose, then, we agree to call no man old till he Is past sixty-three. Let us set down the names of some of the illustrious people of the world who have prolonged their days of usefulness after that a,e. We shall make a table of them, and begin it with those who have died at seventy that is 1o say, with those in whom the springs of life have not stood still till they have had at least seven years of old age. It will be found, however, to be far from exhaustive, and every reader may find pleasure In adding to it from his own stick of inlormation: Age at i Dtatb. I 70 Columbus: I. orT Age at Death. 80 Plato: Wordsworth: Chatham: Petrarch; Copernicus: ripalIaiizaui; boerhaave Gall. Tl I-inr.i ns. Kalph Wft.'lo Krnereon: Kant: Thiers; William C'u'.len.

Kobert btevenjoa; Henry Caendish. W-Tiiian. 100-Fonteuelle. We may question the utility of the lives of some of these people, but most of them furnish good examples of useful old age. It may be said that they were exceptional in living so long, but if what the best authorities say be true, the exceptions ought to be the people who died young, and not those who prolong their lives and carry on their work till they are old. Few of us may find ourselves, like Lord Talmerston, in our greatest vigor at 70; or be able, like Thiers, to rule France at 80; or have any spirit for E laying the author, like Goethe and Victor Lugo, when over 80; or for playing the musician, like Handel and Hay don, when over 70; but by good management we may do wonders. The wisest men and the best have been conspicuous for working to the end, not taking the least advantage of the leisure to which one might think they were entitled. They haye found their joy in pursuing labors which they believe useful, either to themselves or to others. John Locke began a "Fourth Letter on Toleration" only a few weeks before he died, and "the few pages in the pothumous volume, ending in an unfinished sentence, seem to have exhausted his remaining strength." The fire of Galileo's genius burned to the very end. He was engaged In dictating to two of his disciples his latest theories on a favorite subject, when the sl)W fever seized him that brought him to the grave. Sir Edward Coke spent the last six years of his life in revising and improving the works upon which his fame now rests. John Wesley, only the year before be died, wrote: "I am now an old man, decayed from head to foot. However, blessed be God! I do not slack my labors: I can preach and write stilL" Arnauld, one of the greatest of French theologians and philosophers, retained, says Disraeli, "the vigor of his cenlus and the command of his Den to his last day, and at the age of eighty-two was still the great Arnauld." it was he who. when urged in his old age to re3t from hia labors, exclaimed, "Kegt! Shall we not have the whole of eternity to res: in?' A healthy old age can not bs r ja?hei without the exercise of many virtues. There must have been prudence, self-denial and temperance at the very least. According to the proverb, he that would be long an old man must begin early to be one, and the beginning early just means taking a great many precautions commonly neglected till it Is too late. Mora people would be found completing their pilgrim age at a late date if it were not that, as a French writer puts it, "Men do not usually rl!: they kill themselves.'1 It Is careleTaff:u:r, 1

ness about the most ordinary rules of healthy living and reluctanoe to say to pleasure, "Gentle Eve, I will none of your apple," that lay then? low long before their time. The enjoyment of old age may be looked on then as a reward, and the aged may pride themselves on being heirs to a rich, inheritance assigned to forethought and common sense. Many years are an honor. They are an honor even in the case of the worldly, and a great tffeal more so when life has been regulated by motives higher than aDy the world can show. "The hoary head," sajs Solomon, "is a crown of glory ;" but he adds this qualification, "if it be found in the way of righteousness." Old people form a natural aristocracy, and to be ranked among them may be recommended to all who have an ambition to close their lives well up in the world. Beside supplying a reasonable object of ambition, old age often makes itself useful in furnishing life with cheerfulness. A middle-aged man may be just wise enough to be miserable, but an eld man's aiditional knowledge and experience not unfrcquently bring him to the point of being a happy and contented philosopher. For an picture of a old man initbis enviable state of mind take Cornaro we have quoted him already, but must do it again. In his eiehty-third year we find him congratulating himself that in all probability he "had still a series of years to live in health and spirits and to eDioy this beautiful world, which is indeed beautiful to those who know how to make it so.'; Even at ninety-fire he wrote of himselfs a "sound and hearty, contented and cheerful." "At this age," he says, "I enjoy at once two lives: one terrestrial, which I possess in fact; the other celestial, which I possess in thought; and this thought is equal to actual enjoyment, when founded on things we are sure to attain, as I am sure to attain that celestial life, through the infinite mercy and goodness of God." Jeremy Bentham, who lived to be eightyfive, retained to the last the fresh and cheerful temperament of a boy. John Wesley, who died when he was eightyeight, bad a happy disposition. "I feel and grieve," he said, "but by the grace of God I fret at nothing." Goeihe, who reached his eighty-third year, is another good example. Then there is Beerhaave, one of the most celebrated physicians of modern timer, who held that decent mirth Is the salt of life, and in the exercise of his amiable qualities lived to be seventy. But, indeed, in the case of most old people, we believe it will be lound that cheerfulness is one of their leading characteristics. It is that, no doubt, that helps to make their lives so long. A SINGULAR STORY.

Catherine Felillnger älad Her Parents After Twenty-Two Tears. 'New York Times. The happiest family in all the eastern district of Brooklyn is that of Jacob FehliDger, a shoe-maker, at No. 22 Union avenue. On the morning of July 15, 15, pretty black-eyed, twelve-year old Caroline Fehlinger left her parents' home on the corner oi iignth avenue and L wenty-eight street, this city. With her bundle of books and her dinner-pan she started for school. Soon the surrounding began to look strange to ner; ene became Irigntened and began to cry. A policeman found her In this plight and took her to the slation-houss. She said her father's name was Fallinger, out sne could not tell where she lived. The directory was consulted in vain, and as no one cared to claim her the child was sent to Randall's Island. When night approached and no tidings of the missing girl came to her home, the father went to the Twentieth precinct end informed Captain Iladden, at that time in charge, of his daughter's disappearance. Detectives were put on the care and advertisements inserted in all the papers, but no trace of the child could be obtained. Then the search was prosecuted until the saving! of a life of hard work had been exhausted, but with no result. As the years passed the Fehlirgers mourned their daughter as dead. The mistake little Caroline had male in giving her name had made all search ineffectual. After five months on the island she was adopted by a Mr. and Mrs. Brown, of Park and Fortland avenues, Brooklyn. With them Bhe lived until they went West, when Caroline found employment as a domestic in the family of General Carl, on Clinton avenue. Mr. Carl took her to Virginia with his family where they remained for some months. On her return she left the family and started a dressmaking establishment adjoining Mrs. Brown's house. During all these years she had kept up a steady search for her parants. Five years ego she married one William 11. Bennett. He proved to be a dissipated man. and she was compelled to leave him. She then went te live at No. 47 II all street with a Mrs. Lynch. A few days ago she told Mr?. Lynch of a dream : "I thought I saw my parents," she Baid, "holding out their arras and calling me. Their bair was jjray. Tin-y seemed to be living in Brooklyn." That afternoon Mrs. Lynch and Caroline called on the step-father of Mrs. Lynch, a Mr. Richter, a shoemaker, in this city. Caroline told him of her dream and asked bim to look the directory oyer. She said she had always thought her name was Fallinger. Mr. Richter found the name Fehlinger, and told her thst was Fallinger in German. The name of Jacob Fehlioger was found, and the two women called at the address, No. 22 Union avenue. An elderly gray-haired woman received them. She was Mrs. Fehlinger. Mother and daughter were brought face to face, but did not recognize one another. "Did you ever have a daughter named Caroline?" asked Mrs. Lynch. "Yes, but she is dead." Mrs. Lynch then informed the mother that her companion was her lost child. Mrs Fehlinger refused to believe it After a few minutes' pause Caroline said she remembered that when she left home she had a doll, a doll's bureau and a set of doll's dishes. She described them minutely. The mother recognized the description and the identification was enough. Mother and daughter in another instant were clasped in each other's arms. Mrs. Bennett, the Caroline Fehlinger of long ago, was seen yesterday at her father's house. She is a handsome woman, now thirty-four years old. She tella her romantic story in an interesting way, and then the mother shows the playthings which took the place of the traditional strawberry." Made Ills Knife Whittle Steel. Two Kentuckians one of them a blacksmithrecently called at the Navy Department and announced that they had discovered a process of treating steel which would practically revolutionize the art of steel tool-making. They did not divulge the nature of the invention further than to intimate that it related to the chemical bath in which the tool is Immersed In the tempering process. The callers asserted that by their method .of treatmeit the commonest grades of metal can be so tempered in the matter of hardness and toughness as to fully equal the best grades of tool steel. An ordinary pair of cheap cast-steel scissors could be treated without disconnoMfnr 4h hlnrips so as to cut end hold an edge as well M tte best Knglish tool-steel fchears. An experiment was made on the blade of lecretsry Whitney's pocketknife, with the result that it was possible to whittle an ordinary steel key without apparent Injury to the blade. Moreover, the results of the treatment are asserted to be bo under control that It is possible to temper steel to, any degree cf hardness or toughness required. After consultation with the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance the Secretary decided to permit the process to be tested experimentally at the Washington Navy Yard, and the experiments haye already beca bfgflf

WALL STREET ORPHANS.

Men la Hard Lack Who Cora to II, Harrow and Steal. INew York Morning Journal. J In no place are fo many hard-up men to be found as in Wall street They are in about the same tlx as the A ncient Manner. There is money everywhere, but not a cent have they to spend. The almighty dollar is more plentiful in the street than anywhere else, but it is difficult of access. It ia in plain sight, but out of the reach of those who want it most. People come from all parts of the globe to beg, borrow and steal in Wall street. The persons who come to beg are not the same ones wbo come to borrow, and the or g who come to borrow are not the ones who ccme to steal. Etch clas is different, bat "each has tl'OLt the same amount of luck. If there is ihj cla:s tLat has the poorest luck it is the class that wants to steal. It does not get a chance. Wall street men do rot go around with grefr. Hacks sticking out of their pockets, and they do not, either, have big piles of them on their desks to alleviate optical aftlid irr?. TLe greenbacks and hard money in Wall street are kept behind bars and bolts in almost precisely the same manner as the nsu who sinfully covet them ought to be. The business of the speculators and brokers is dote by checks. Millions pass from hand to hand, but in such shape that the money can only be obtained by the affixing of the signatures of the men for whom it is intended. Messerger bojsareeent from ofheesto banks ith checks for hundreds of thousands of dollars carried loosely in their hands. Only a green thief would think of snatching a check from a messenger boy. It would be a useless wte of energy to meke the eif rtion to secure the piece of paper representing dollars. The system of cbecks baa made the street the poorest theater of operation for a thief. It is reldted by one of the truthful detectives who spend day after dav in a hopeless search for something to do, that a few days ago a skilled plunderer came to the stteet to look around. The knowledge of the presence of so much money, and his utter inability to fasten his predatory fingers on it made him threaten to commit suicide. Ilia occupation was gone. He was dissuaded from his fatal purpose, however, by the promise of the kindhearted detective to get him a job as cashier in a bank, so tbat he might have something to do in bis own line, and not feel that he bad drawn a blank in life. The beggar? are too numerous to mention. Tf?y are of all descriptions, and their demands are cf all degrees. They demand all sums from a cent to a million. Asa rule they stand as good a chance to obtain one as the other. The men in the street who have money are besought from morning until night to give, until their riches are a burden to them, and they savagely repulse the applicating horde. The beggars want money to buy everything from tombstones to patent-leather dancing-pumps for the Hottentots. The beggars seem to realize that the street is a hard place for the men in it to keep what they have got, for the reason that they.are all trying by every trick and device to add to their gains, while it is not one in 100 who succeeds in any more than holding his own. The struggle for the coveted wealth is fierce and the winners of it feel like keeping it. Philanthropy is not the spirit that is bred among the bulls and bears. The motto as applied to finance is: "Every man for himself and the devil for the hindmost." Tbe devil has a large audience right along. The borrowers are the men who work the street with the most adeptness. They are professionals. It is no matter of mere need with them. They have needs that go on forever. They are drones in the great hive of which the Stock Exchange is the center. Most of them are men who adhere to the belief that the world owes them a living for tbe reason that it is a good deal easier than working for it. They acquire an acquaintanceship in the street and proceed to live on it They make it a3 big as possible. They strike the people they know for small sums. Calculating tbat "many niickles make a muckle" they "pull the leg" of several oa one occasion for gains, with the'resclt that an aggregate amount of respectable proportions is secured. To "pull the leg" of a person on Wall street is to request a loan from him. The borrowers request small loans for the reason tbat they are surer of getting them and for tbe additional reason that they can go oftener than if they made application for an accommodation of large proportions. There are broken-down speculators who are haunted by the memory of the piles they once possessed and hover dUpairingly about the spot where their money vanished. These men the succesiful speculator look ttpoii as tbe "orphans" of the stock market, and put their hands in their pockety a duty to "keep them going." There are persons who are impelled to come to Wall street to borrow eimply from the fals notions tbey have acquired of the place. They imagine that it is a land flawing with milk and honey and paved with gold eagles and trade dollars redeemable at par. They think that all they have t) do ii to ask, and what tbey ask for will be forthcoming. Their disappointment is woful wheu they undertake to carry out their belief. It is only a little while ago that a man of more than ordinarily intelligent appearance stepped to a Wall street man whom he had never seen before, and said: "I live out here in Jersey. I got a leetle hard up and thought I would come In and borrow a little money to help me over. I'd like to get $1.000 of you. I suppose you can spare it just as well as not, you have so much money down here." The man was surprised when it waa suggested to him tbat he was "off his base." Not having a ferry ticket he crossed the river on the tloating ice and walked home. The remainder of his 'days will be spent with unkind feelings toward Wall street HINDOO WOMEN. Their Existence One of Wretchedness and Misery. IBoston Herald.) 5,"During the ten years of mv residence among the Hindoos," said a female mission arv. iust returned from India. "I never saw a Hindoo child receive a caress from its mother, scarcely ciotnea, Deareu anu uil- it knows hardlv where to lav its head or to get its meals. If It Is a girl, the mother can not oe zona oi it, ior n may yo the means of disgrace to her. If a wife has no male children her husband may divorce her. This Is changed somewhat when the child becomes old enough to be engaged. This is Bix years. The affair Is Bettled without consulting the poor girl herslL And who do you think finds the girl a husband? The barber. He knows the circumstances of the family and rank ia life, as he has to visit the house every day to shave the male members of the fam'ly before they can pray. He travels B0Tetinies weeks and months through tbe c antry before Le can find 8 young marriageable mr u of the same station in life as the girl. For in India there Is no intermarriage betw-ien cast?s j "Now for an idea of a Hindoo womai a Jiome life. She lives ia a small room almost destitute. The 11 or aid walis are or clay, with no ornamentation of auysirt and the least furniture possible. Every morning she has to prar not for h"rse4, as Bhe is 'aught that she has no s-ul bat for her husband, for rain and f ir general blessings. Then ehe spends two or thres hours preparing the breakfast She doem l eat with her husbanl but. perhaps, fans bim at Lis request. During the day ti ne she either. Bleeps, gossips w UU t&9 Other

women, or sometimes a reader reads to to them from the lives of the gods. These stories are unfit for human cars: they are

vile from beginning to end, The childrea - and women are taught them. At night they prepare their husbands mealinthn fame manner. ;They are not protectei against the weather and dampne?, nor are they properly fed and clothed. The rich live the same as the poor. If sick they are deemed cursed by the gods, and are taken to the stable and left alone. Tbe only food they can get is left by stealth. Thoussnds die of neglect The first day that a Hindoo boy abuses Lis mother is a festal occasion with his father, who boasts of it to his friends. To be a widow is the sum of uohappiness. She is especially cursed by the gods. As the huabarid die?, half a dozen barbers' wives rush upon her and tear the jewelry from her ears and nose. Bthind the funeral cortege she follows, sarrounded by these fiends, who throw her into the water. If she drowns they siy she was a good wife after all. 'She has gone to meet her husband.' She is kept in a darkened room for fourteen days. At the end of this time her husband's ashes are ta?n to the river, and, after a peculiar ceremony of prayers, the soul is supposed to be free. It may enter an insect or an animal. Tne worst punishment the soul can sustain is to enter the body of a woman."' A Sermon In SI ens. I Chicago News. The Episcopal service is always impressive, and when it has the mantle of perfect silence thrown about it, it is particularly so. There are about fifty deaf mutes in Chicago, who worship once a month in bt James' Church, Cass and Huron streets. Tbe Ktv. A. W. Mann, himself a deaf mute, who ha3 been nearly twelve years in the pulpit, is the rector, his field embracing the entire country bounded by the Alleghacies on the east, the Okio River on the south and Kansas on the west Of the 3f. COO deaf mutes in the United States, 3,000 are communicants in the various dioceses which the Rev. Dr. Mann ministers to. "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve" was Dr. Mann's text yesterday. There was prayer silent prajer offered -by the fiagers, while the piano in the room below pealed forth a Sabbath school meloly, joined by a hundred voices, but the noise did not disturb the silent worshipers. Then the litany was repeated, the congregation responding in pantomime concer: no choir, no organ, no music to stir the soul to religious thoughts. And then, when the rector had fairly launched out in his sermon, and from appearances was growicg eloquent the wife of Dr. Vibbert came into the room with hrr lame Bible class of young ladies, and the noise that usually attends such exercises was begun, but the discourse went on unceasingly, the fingers of the Rev. Dr. Mann jerking nnd jumping and clutching and gesticulating with almost lightning rapidity. His auditors watched their movements with the most intense interest, their faces sometimes clouded as if listening to the description of some horrible thing, and then again an expression of joy would seem to follow some dexterous movement of the silent preacher. When he had delivered himself of some eloquent peroration thejector would stop a moment presumably giving his observers time to comprehend, and then he would beat the palm of his left hand with his clinched fistf the tbe right several times, and this he would follow by several reiiective nods of the head, as iOignifying "yes, yes; that is it," or "that is true."

A OBEAT MISTAKE bas heretofore been made in the treatment of rheumatism, nearaigia, and nervo tu or sick headache. Thia is evidenced by the failure on the part of thousands of aufferers to rind relief, even though they hare exhausted the skill of various physicians and tried nnmeros- so called remedies. T such Athlophoroa is ofTered as a Bafe, Bite, and quick cure. Its success has been phenomenal, and jet it is not surprising because it will do ail that is claimed for it. Tbe Athlophoros Co. will gladly refer any who desire to make an investigation to reliable parties wbo have been cured bv It. Ii. Foster, 320 Main st . Terra Hanl, Ind., fajs: "I have used Athlophoros with the Vfry best satisfaction. I haTe hai neuralgia for many years and not foaal tfcerefdicine that would give me any relief until I commenced using Athlophoros, and I tell you I used about everything I was sußtrinfir very much one Saturday evening: when Mr. Mallette, who is in bus!Ttus in Chicago, and lives at Enelewooi, 111., came down to spend Sunday. "Finding mesmVering as I was, he said, get eomi Athlophcros, it is good, my wife us?d it and was cured with it. Without waiting for me to say much about it, he went out cd bought a bottle of it. I took some that night, the next day I wjs as free from piia as if I never bad neuralgia." Evansviile, lad. 1 have been a great sufferer from rheaniatittm for the past fire years; have tried various remedies and empl'oytd many physicians without any relief, and finally concluded to try Alblophoros. and am elad to eay after using six ho'tles I am entire'y cured. Ceo II. Neekamp, With N. Oo. No. 22 and 201 Miin at. Residence No. öll D .vidian st. Every druggist should keep Athlophoroa and Athlophoros Pills, but where they caa not be bought of the druggist the Athlophoros Company, 112 Wall street, New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is $1 per bottle for Athlophoros and 50 cents for Pills. For liver and kidney diseases, drspcpsia, tnlfirctlion, weakness, nervous debility, dlseast-a ot women, constijatioB, headache, impure blood etc, Athiorhoros Pills are unequaied. "

: Ü0LT s Or Black Leprosy, is a disease which is considered incurable, but it has yielded to the curative properties of Swirr'a Specific now known all over tue tvorld as S. S. S. Mrs. Bailey, of West Somerville, Mass,, near Boston, was attacked several years a with this hiderms black eruption, and was treated by the best medical talent, who could only say that the disease waa a e pedes of. LEPROSYand consequently incurable. It is Impossible to describe her euilcnniTS. Her body from the crown of her head to tbe soles of her feet was a mwi of decay, masses of flesh rotting 02 and leaving great cavities. Her fingers festered and three or four nails dropped 2 at one time. Ucr limbs contracted by the fearful ulceration, and for several years she did not leave her bed. ller weicht was reduced from 125 to CO IVs. Perhaps some faint idea of her condition ran be rk&ncd from the fact tbat three pounds cf Cosmoline or ointment were nsod per werk in dressing her eores. Finally the physicians acknowledged their defeat by this Black NVo'.f. and commended the euf-' Xerer to her all-wise Creator. i i - t ller hiisband hearing wonderful reports of the use f S wift's Sraciric iS. S. S.), prevailed on her to try it as a last resort. 8he began its nss under protest, but soon found that her system was beins relieved of the poiso-'. as the sores assumed a red and healthy color, aa though the blood was becoming pure and active. Mrs. Bailey continued the S. S. S. cntil Jast February; every sore was healed; she discarded chair and crctcbes, and was for the firet t rae in twelve year a well woman. Her husband, Mr. C. A. Bailey, is in business at 17K Blackstone Street, Boston, and will take pleasure in giving the deta'la of this wonderful cure, bend to m for Treatise oa blood and Skin Diseases, mailed free.
