Demas S. Coo Imkjui his duties as auditor of W'uy lie county today. Mr. Toe was given an absolutely clean slate In (ho office by retiriiis auditor If. J. llanos. II should be said lor .Mr. Hanes that fur the first instance in many years at the time- for a hatie in officials, he I a.d the affair:-: of the office strictly up to the minute, as lie had at all previous times. Ho made a final settlement with the county treasurer last, evening, j'ayitiK over the fees due front the auditor. Win n after working "overtime" for several days and ni.-'hts, Mr. I'm' ready ! succor d to the office. y.i: found cvri-y book and record balanced and approved by the county comluissii, tiers, every paper in its proper filace. and even the minutest detail leridod to by Mr. Hanes or those unlit r his direction. During the eight years Mr. Hanes Was in the. office- four years as deputy to ex-Auditor Alexander S. Held, he lias made scores of friends by his Courteous treatment of every caller at the office, and by his thorough knowledge of the affairs of his post. Deputy auditor Charles N'ewlin, who ft rvt 1 under Mr. Hanes and who will r ntinue in the office with Mr. Coe, Hates that the affairs of the auditor lire in more nearly perfect condition than at any time within his recollection. He says there has rot been a tingle item overlooked by Mr. Hanes. Bud every detail has been properly handled. Mr. Newiin further says ft'.r. Hanes has established a precedent In office by his untiring and thorough application to duty that will require a Special effort on the part of future officials to emulate. Mr. Hanes has no settled plans for tho future. lie will remain in Richmond for a few weeks and then will take a pleasure trip through the West. J'urther than that he is undecided. In View of his excellent recoid as auditor, however, it is believed that, lie will not be permitted to remain idle long. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Juickly m.nle friendships are quickly Hided. Lite's most desirable pleasures cost Hie least. Sorrows of life enable us to appreciate the joys thereof. It's easy to talk philosophically if Jou are not personally interested. Instead of trying to heat his record th average man should trv to forget If. Most of the things we learn from experience come tinder the head of compulsory education. It ha? been observed that tho average Man is never so happy as when he is poatug as a critic. Ton"t forget that the brownstone front usually depends on a homely tHok roar for support. If sympathy could be converted into rash, it's doughnuts to fudge there wouldn't be so much of it wasted. Chicago News. One Book Author. Robert Burton, the author of "The 'Anatomy of Melancholy," may claim this honor; His book has stood the test of time as few books have. Professor Falntsbury writes that "all fit readers of English literature have loved him." Lamb praises "the fantastic great old Uian" and. iudeed, borrowed from him many a choice phrase. Among other remarkable "one book authors" may be mentioned Sir Thomas Malory, rwhose famous collection of Arthurian romances Is one of the Imperishable treasures of the English tongue; liichord Hooker, whose "Laws of Ecclesiastical rollty" is still a standard book on the constitution of the Church of England, and Gilbert White, whose Immortal "Natural History of Selbonme" Is still read with pleasure and profit.

Jefferson Davis and a Joke Ha Did Not Appreciate. When Jefferson Davis was secretary of war he ordered ail his generals to learn to ride horseback. No liner horseman than Jefferson Davis ever lived. He won the love and hand of Zach Taylor's daughter by his distinguished presence in the saddle, as well as by his iutrepidity at the camion's mouth. When secretary of war he noticed that only a few officers in the service were capable horsemen and issued an order something like this: "A liberal reward will be paid to any officer or private in the army who will offer a satisfactory device for keeping our soldiers from falling out of their Paddles. Communications to the secretary of war will be regarded as confidential." Captain George Horatio Derby, one of the leading army engineers of his day, used to write humorous and witty stories over the pen name of John Phoenix.

MESMER'S METHODS. He Influenced Patients by Sojrsretlon. tat Hid Real Power. Mesmer published in 1773 hi3 account of the marvelous cures effected by what he was pleased to term animal magnetism. When in 177S he came to Paris he came with a well developed sense of tho value of advertising. The campaign he inanicurated was of a character to disgust the conservative and thoughtful, but to take a sensation loving populace by storm. Most extravagant tales of cures he had accomplished In Berlin, Vienna and elsewhere were noised abroad. Through a convert he challenged the physicians of Paris to enter into a contest with ' him, they to treat, twelve patients by 1 the orthodox methods, he to treat i fn-olvft In- lite Of ronrjr fhflltAnfp . , waa rejected, and equally or course ta f, i, i-Ti tviju lnti-T-rrtr.l rr fhrt thoughtless as an acknowledgment of the superiority of Mesmer's treatment. His rooms were thronged, waxed constantly heavier. His purse The treatment he gave was such as to appeal vividly to the imagination of tho patient in a word, to Increase his suggestibility. Suggestion, indeed, was its root element, although Mesmer failed or pretended to fail to recognize this and taught that its efficacy depended upon the effluence of a mysterious fluid. In a room dimly lighted and hung with mirrors the patients were seated about a circular vat of con siderable size covered with a lid and i containing various chemicals. A long cord connected the patients with one another, while in the lid of the tub were several holes, through each of : which passed an iron rod bent in such ; a way that its point could be applied ; to any part of a patient's body. The j patients were requested not to speak, i the only sound In the room being , strains of soft music. When expeetnn- ! oy was at its flood Mesmer would en i ter clad in the robe of a magician and I carrying au iron wand. At one patient bf wonhl CA7.f 1ntntH- ;in,t nnnfhnr ho would stroke gently with his wand. Soon some would burst into laughter, others into tears, while still others would far! into convulsions, finallv pnssiug into a lethargic state, out ot which, it is claimed, they emerged cured or on the highroad to a cure. i Occasionally the treatment was given i outdoors, a tree being "maguetized" ! and the patient collapsing in a swoon i so soon as he approached it.

I One night at the Hartford Monday j Evening club meeting George, our colored butler, came to me when the sup- j per was nearly over, and I noticed that ; i be was pale. Normally his complexion i was a clear black and very handsome, j but now- it had modified to old amber. He said: "Mr. Clemens, what are we going to do?

When I was a cub pilot on the Mississippi in the late fifties I had had a great affection for them, because they were not only to my mind-perfect, but you could get a basketful of them for a cent or a dime. They didn't use cents out there in those days. So when T saw- them advertised in Hartford I all sides, looking the worst it could, and began to pass them around. The conversation had been brilliantly animated up to that moment, but now a frost fell upon the company that is to say, not all of a sudden, but the frost fell upon eaeii man as he took up a cigar and held It poised In the air and there, in the middle, bis sentence broke off. That kind of thing went on all around the table until when George had completed his crime the whole place was full of a thick solemnity and silence. Those men began to light the cigars. Rev. Dr. Tarker was the first man to light. Ho took three or four heroic whiffs, then gave it up. He got up with the remark that he had to go to the bedside of a sk-k parishioner. He started out. Rev.

When nobody was left but George and me, I was heerful. I had no compunctions of conscience, no griefs of any kind, lint George was beyond speech because he held the honor and credit of the family above his own, and he was ashamed that this smirch had been put upon it. I told him to jco to Pert and try to sleep it off. I went to bed myself. At breakfast in the morning when George was passing a cup of coffee I saw it tremble In his hand. I knew by that sign mat mere was sonieiuiug uu ujiiiu. He brought tho cup to mo and asked! , , ' I impressively: "Mr. Clemens, how far is it from the front door to the upper gate?" I said, "It is a hundred and twentyfive steps." He said, "Mr. Clemens, you can start at the front door, and you can go plumb to the upper gate and tread on one of them cigars every time."

The Viennese take their pleasures as regularly as they do their meals, but tbey do not neglect business or keep late hours. One thing perhaps which helps to keep the young Viennese of moderate means and economical mind regular in his evening hours is the fact that he must pay to get into his own rooms after 10 o'clock. Vienna is one vast system of apartment houses, and a house master is In charge of each one. At 10 o'clock he locks the front door, and any one dej siring to get In after that hour must pay for admittance, and the old resident has no more right to a key than the ephemeral lodger.
