Few Jugglers get through their performance without Introducing that old n and feat of spinning plates on the end of a sharp-pointe- d stick. Everybody knows that the equilibrium of the plate la due to centrifugal force, and that the equilibrium will be destroyed as soon as tbe rotation of the plate becomes slow enough, or weak enough, to permit the ordinary force of gravitation to act. Yet we always admire the skill of the performer. Here is a more delicate experiment of that kind, however, which any member of the club may make.

The steamers from San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver and Victoria land hordes of gold hunters every week. They are, for the most part, men out of employment, men with cheerless outlooks or still more cloudy pasts. Few realize the very long chances they are taking. It needs $500 besides an outfit. which costs from $80 to $150, to take a man Into the Interior and keep him until he has a reasonable chance to strike a paying claim. They land in Juneau with the expectation of picking up gold la tha street and without money. There are already many more than there Is work for la the town, and unless the government intervenes there will be thousands starving before winter.

This, It seems, is not tha case when Dr. Flllebrown'e method le pursued. He counteracts the constant pain by constant suggestion that there is no suffering. Dr. Flllebrown does not consider panes necessary to Induce hypnosis. He says: I, myself, use my eyes more for a fixed point for the patient's gaze. Laying my hand on the forehead and over tho eyes to close them and exclude the light Is very successful with me, and much preferred by many. In these cases audible suggestion is used the eame as In others.

Anything that will ventilate a eat without a draft will be hailed with delight by those who find It necessary to do a great deal of traveling. By the new system the air ie taken Into the car through a series of screens under the hood of the car. It then takes lta course through the length of the hood and drops through the celling of the car. The current of air, after passing through the car, goes out again into the rear half of the roof by means of properly set partitions and ventilators. In passing out It takes all of the foul air with It, thus insuring a steady supply of pure and air.
