TEMPERANCE-NOTES. VALUE OF HXPNPTISM. V■ . .....!''■ -I* Extract from MEecture by J. II. Kgllon , U. D„pt the p»ttla Creak SuKiturluin. It is reported that Dr. Bornheim of Paris is treating inohriates by hypno­ tism. Ho claims to bo able to; create a distaste for liquor by suggesting that it he given up^vithout really hypnotizing rho patient. But a suggestion of tho sort is of no service unless hypnotism is really employed. It is claimed that a suggestion ;mado will remain, Ifut this is not true in tho majority of oases. For instance, a young lady had a paralyzed hand which was so lifojess that pins could bo thrust into it or it could bo seared wi'h a hot iron and sho felt no. paiti. In tho. hypnotic.state -she was told that that hand was perfectly, well and it bo;amo sensitive to every touch. She could cojj,nt the numbor- of taps given upon that hand .when her eyes welre closed, but when out from under the influence, her hand was, just as dead tq sensation as at'first and this after ’ repeated trials. Dr.. Bernhoim claims mot only, to cure .bodily ills, but tp malio drunkards into, sober mon; thieves into honest oiies, and that lying and swearing can only also bo corrected by hypnotism. Ho claims it is one of the.best moans of moral reform, all that if required being to give tho sub­ jects good instruction while in-tho hyp­ notic state.- . ... • * But as a matter of fact, hypnotism is not really to he relied upon, for either jjaysical healing or moyal reform.. . In tpo first place it is only now-and then a’ person can be completely hypnotized or influenced at- all, and in the" second .placo, only a small1proportion of those vho are really good s.ubjects retain sug­ gestions which are made after the-hyp­ notic state-has been thrown off. There Is'nothing mysterious about hypnotism; the subject is not operated, upon by the mind of-the .operator, but the state1 is produced by the workings of his 'own mind. In .persons who are-subjects for hypnotism, they bring I their minds for the time into a sort'of vacuity or equi­ librium, ready to. receive impressions from any source.. ,.,/It is something like the mind in a dream which converts tho slamming of a shutter into a clap of thunder, the difference being that in dreams, sugges­ tions take no definite^, direction, while in the hypnotic statu they can be defi­ nitely guided.- It is wholly tho pecu­ liar operation of tho mind’ of the sub­ ject and.notof tho mind of the operator. It is not .'possible for a person to com-' municato intelligence except through-, tho. senses. Prof. Carpenter, one of- tho most noted mesmerists, confessed this to me a few years ago. The hypnotic state always ends in- sloop and the per­ son awakes in just the condition he was before unless his imagination still car­ ries somo idea forward. ’ ...... , . . Traveling mesmerises have “ horses” engaged to follow them from place to place—-persona who have schooled themselyes td endure tho pajn of hav­ ing pins thrust in tholr -flesh and sub-' mlt to other similar tests, without vlsi-- bie emotion. This has an effect upon the imagination of the audienco and‘ ‘gener­ ally helps to securo two or three) per­ sons who are ready subjects to-hypnotic influence. In London a mesmerist be­ came bankrupt from lack of patronage and hia “ horse" sued him for unpaid salary and explained the whole manner' of proce’duro to the cdurt. • ,Before the discovery of chloroform, •hypnotismwassomotimosemployod dur- ing'surglcal operations,'but it was very unreliable; and the patient was as like­ ly to awakon from the hypnotic sleep in the midst of the operation as other-, wise. ’________ ' CAUSES OF POVERTY. When a Alan DriukA Hle Family la on the Hand to Deetltutlon. Edward Atkinson, the politeal'ecotao* ■mist, on being asked by the Now York World -on' the causes ol poverty said, concisely: “ Ignorance and incapacity.” Chauncoy Depow roplied as follows: “ There are a good many causes of poverty,” ho said, after reflecting a mo­ ment, “ and they are by no means per­ fectly clear. There are hundreds of men whom I have helped, and am help­ ing continually. They seem to be- ut­ terly unahlq te earn a living for them­ selves. I never could discover* why. They havo had the same advantage.^ and opportunities os I have bad. “ Lack of self-confidence is often the cause of failure. Many men seem to have 'no"-faith in themselves, conse­ quently no assertiveness, no independ­ ence, no pluck and no push. They seem to he afraid to stand up and’speak for themselves, and prefer to lean on others. Poverty in such cases is in­ evitable. , * ■ “ Another cause of poverty Very prev­ alent in this country to-day is that many young men are wanting in decis­ ion and fixity of purpose. If they get into a good place at the Start they should stick to if, knowing that by per* sovorance, industry and ability they win promotion in due course.as vacan­ cies occur. But they see or hear of some one making a fortune in Wall street or In ranching or mining, and away they go to try their luck. When they lose, as they do in ninelyjnino cases out of *a hundred, that is the end of them; they can never settle down to ordinary ways of earning a living after that and’ their descent is rapid. “ Rum is tho greater cause of poverty; it is tho cause- of more poverty than all the other causes put together. Whon a. man drinlcg to excess he lots go of every thing. Ho loses bis position and Is unable to securo other employment A druhkard can not be trusted with work or responsibility. Ho and those dependent upon him, If ho has a family, beoome paupers. . They have sto bo helped, first by tho neighbors and then by tho town. In my owrf personal'ex­ perience I have known about fifty thpu- sand mon who have boon ruined by rum. Those causoB account for the failure of mon who are willing to work, but ,aro- unable to securo and keep regular em-’ ployment. There is a yast amount of poverty caused by men who Wouldjtath- er loaf than work. When a man finds his mission in tho world he should re­ main constant to it and not leave one trade .or business to engage in another- for which ho may ho unfitted,’ •Poverty often results from such aimlessness. But the.lazyman is always a poorman.” WHAT ALCOHOL DOES. , Photographer XENIA, OHIO. . . ." • i- Enlarging Old pictures a specialty. Artistic Crayons, tlio new Opals and Transparencies.

I.thought it gave us.strongth. f thought it'ena'blod.uH to ondimi mental and bodi­ ly fatigue. •I. thought if cheerod the heart, and ‘ lifted up 'the mind into greater, activity. But-it so. happened that I was asked to study the action *o?^ alcohol along with a whole series of. chemical bodies,- and to investigate their bearing .in relation to each other. And so I took alcShol from ray shelf in the .laboratory, as I miglit any other drug or chemical, and Tasked it in-tho course of experiments extending over a lengthened period: 'Wha$ do you do?’ I asked.it:- ‘Do you warm the,animal bqjly whon you aro talqui into’ it?’ The reply came invariabTy: 'Tdo not, except- in a mere surface excitement;’ Then I turn around, to it in -another direction and ask it: ‘Do. you ' glvo muscular, strength?’ ,1 tost it by. tho most’rigid analysis and experiment X can adopt, and its reply Ig,: ‘T give no'muscular strength. ’ 1turn to its effect on tho organs of the bddy and find, that while it expe­ dites the heart's action, it .reduces to­ nicity; and, in the nervous" system, I find’ the same reply, that is to say, I find tho nervous, system more ’ quickly, worn out under, the influence of this agent than if none were taken at. all. I , ask It: ‘Can you build up any o f ' the tis­ sues of the body?' The answer is again in the negative:‘1 build Nothing. 'If I do any thing, I add fatty matter to tho body, -hut ihat is a destructive agent, piercing tho tissues, destroying their powers and making -them less active for their work.’ Next I turn around to tho facts.of experience. I think: ‘Well, as I havo come to the abovo conclusion, -I will experiment on myself.’ - I do so. I gave up that which I thought warmed and helped, and 1declare after consider­ ing the whole poriod in which I havo subjected myself to this ordeal, I never did-inore work;” I nover did more varied .work; I never did work with equal faqulty-^with- so muoh-'facil.lty; I never -did work with such complete sonso of freedom, from anxiety and worry, as 1 havo done during the period that I havo abstained altogether.
