As the secret service is largely political, one function of Scotland is the foreign correspondence, whieh is carried on invariably in the language of the country to or from which the letters are directed. As England's relations cover the whole world this part of the work is exceedingly interesting.

Polyglot translators who know every tongue under the sun are constantly at work turning Russian, Hindustani, Persian, and Chinese into police English, and vice versa. There are also employed expert cryptologists who are supposed to be able to unravel the blindest of ciphers; and it is a fact that the aid of the English experts has been more than once called in by both Russia and Germany in this work. The cipher used by Scotland Yard itself is the old movable keyword. The key generally being the name of the riace) to which the message is sent. In 1883 a mailbag belonging to the British Embassy was captured and a number of cipher messages taken, some of which were afterward printed in Le Figaro in Paris and copied into Irish and English papers.

A circular sent out over the country by ex-Senator Horatio Gates Jones setting out the scheme is also daily meeting with favorable responses. In this circular Mr. Jones says tions reaching back to the days of the time upon the uniiddltng of the letter believe that the letter is a non-significant, which has been put in only for the purpose of confusing the improper inquirer.

In the third degree the drowsiness is more pronounced, sensibility to touch is diminished or entirely aosent, and the patient is capable of making automatic movements. If the patient begius to move his arms and is told that he cannot stop he cannot. Ia the fourth degree the patient loses his relationship with the outer world. He hears what the operator says, but not what others around him say, though tne operator may put him into relationship with anyone.

The fifth and sixth degrees are characterized by for-getfulness upon waning of all that has occurred during sleep constituting somnambulism. The fifth degree is light somnambulism, the patients remembering in a vague sort of In these degrees there is aosence of sensibility, suggestive catalepsy, automatic movements, and hallucinations caused by suggestion. In deep somnamoulism the sixth degree tne remembrance of what has occurred is entirely obliterated, and cannot bo revived spontaneously, though it can be revived artificially. The docdity to suggestion and the care with which the phenomena are induced are not always in proportion to the depth of the hypnotic sleep. Some patients in this cond.tion can be communicated with easily, tut when others are asleep they may be questioned in vain, and it is difficult to induce suggestive catalepsy in such persons.

Each hypnotized person has his own individuality, his own special personality. Thus, between a perfectly conscious condition and deep sleep there are all desrees of hypnotism. INTELLECTUAL- AND MORAL EDUCATION. Durand has said that hypnotic suggestion furnishes us with a basis for an intellectual and moral education, and will some day be introduced into educational institutions and penitentiaries. The field that ooens before and made many converts; controversies arose and tbe medical men of Paris stigmatized hmi as a charlatan.

In a short timo his auitual magnetism" fell into disrepute and became a system of downright Jugglery. Hat the Marquisde Puysegur, one of Mesmer's disciples, revolutionized tneartof mesmerism by showing that many of the phenomena cou'd be produced by gentle manipulations, una without the apparently mysterious aids used by Mesmer. The geutler method of the jilarquis was followed by a few men in France and England up to 1830. In 1845 the Baron von again brought the subject to public notice, and about tne same time Mr. James Braid, a surgeon of Manchester, read a paper before the British Association for the Advancement of Science on the Curativ Agency of Neuro-Hypnotism." Braid was thus toe first man to made a scientific; investigation of the subject, in the study of which he was aided by the physiologist Herbert Mayo and the celebrated Dr.

William B. Carpenter. Most of the really scientific work on the subject has been done in the last ten years, and at present a great deal of valuable work is being done in Prance and Germany in using hypnotism, or "suggestive therapeutics, "as tne doctors call iu in the treatment of disease, though in America the art liiiS not recovered from the disrepute into wruch it has been brought by tne puolic exhibitions of mesmerism in which horses" are used to deceive the public. Chicago people wiil remember an exhibition of this kind mat created no little excitement in the Cni-cago Medical Society about lour years ago. PEARLY EVKRY ONE MAY BE HYPNOTIZED.

Almost any one may be hypnotized. Most people think that the hypnotic state can be induced in rare neuropathic cases only, but a king's prison it has come now to be the local habitation and name of the secret service of the English crown. There is a criminal museum to be seen here, with mementos of thieves and murderers of high and low degree an ordinary police station and last of all the offices of the "Criminal Investigation Department."

It consists in a simple transposition of letters, for instance for and or and so througn the alphabet. This code is changed the first of each month, and a new key sent out from the central offices in London and Dublin. Almost as soon as it is issued it falls into the hands of the National League people, who also have their decipherers, and for any security the cipher gives after the third or fourth of the month police messages might as well be distance above the River Schuylkill.

The papermaker was Wilhelm ltiuinghousen, now May, 1734, aged 08. He was the grandfather anglicized into William Uittenhouse. The mill of the celebrated David Rittenhouse, the was no doubt built by vv iiliuni Bradford, astronomer, who was born Apr la. itJ, a the first printer in the Middle Colonies of British America; barnuel Carpenter. merchant; Taomas xresse, iron monger; house still standing near the site of tne old paper mill.

But the book speculators who attend such sales and pick up volumes for their own known and special customers were out in full force and snapped up everything upon which they were not outbid by longer purses. There was just written in ordinary English.

The stone stairway leading to the upper offices has been channeled in the centre by a flood of four centuries of passing shoes, so that it is worn away almost to an inclined plane instead of a flight of staccato steps. Over everything, in everything, and through everything there are grime and gloom. The little windows are smoky; fog lies in the courtyard, and even the diffused daylight by which the Londoner distinguishes night from day is more vaporous and unsatisfactory here than elsewhere.

The visitor is shown the lions most politely. Whatever other criticism may apoiy, it is certain that tne London police, from highest to lowest, are courteous and helpful to the stranger within their gates. They take ail manner of trouble to exhibit and to explain everything, from the infernal machine with which the Nelson monument was to have been blown up to the organization of the police force and the general workings of the British constitution. THE SECRET SERVICE. Police are police ell the world over, and there is not enough difference between London and Chicago to justify a detailed description of how the "Bobby" comes to his calling and promotion.

It is in the secret service alone that the difference begins. Up to 1877 the London Detective Police was a close corporation, irresponsible and inde gomery County, which adjoins the Couuty of a sufficient sprinkling interested in of bookworms to make glish martyrs." the sale passably characteristic of its class. There were jolly book-worms, severe ones, long-haired and be-whiskered ones, and a few with vacant expressions of countenance who didn't look as if tney knew anything, and these were probably tne specialists. Scarce in numbers, they looked out of Philadelphia.

It is now deemed proper that the.i bi-centennial of the beginning of so important i an industry, should be celebrated by the paper- makers anu printers of the present day in Sep- tember. 181K). I beg leave to issue this circular to ask for advice as to the propriety of having a meeting held in PhiladelDhia in September of this year to consult about the mode of such a bicentennial.

As soon as we bear from a sufficient number ot prominent papermakers and printers we can decide as to future action. My own idea is to meet in 18U0 near tno snot where the first mill was erected, and to have read a brief sketch of its history, to be followed by an oration and a banquet. WANT A POEM BY WHITTIER. As one may infer from the circular the details of the celebration are not yet marked out, though a pretty clear outline has been suggested. It is confidently hoped that Whittierwill accede to the request to be made to him, to write the poem of the occasion.

Years ago he was the editor of the Anti-Slavery Standard, published in this city. He lived here and loved to wander along the banks of the sweet Wissahickon and its tiny tributaries. He has, of course, also many personal friends among the paper manufacturers, publishers, and printers, all of whom, like himself, will naturally have a personal interest in the celebration. Addresses will be made by prominent papermakers, printers, and publishers representing various sections of the country, i lie banquet will be an imposing it is understood that aprom-inent publisher has said he stands ready personally to defray ail tne expenses of that interesting feature of the celebration.

All that is Known about this dispatch is that it certainly came from Scotland Yard to an English detective in New ork and that it preceded by a few weeks Le Caron's departure for London. IN AMERICA, Most of the English detective work in America i9 done through the Pinker tons; but there are always three or four Scotland Yard men in the country watching the dynamite societies and looking after their Irish friends in different parts of the country. These men are chosen with great care, and have privileges and pay beyond their fellows.

One of them who was stationed in New York last year is said to have been paid a year and expenses. How thoroughly the preventive work in America has been done is proven by the fact that not one dynamite outrage was planned or executed without information more or less full being cabled beforehand to Scotland Yard. In some cases shadows have accompanied the dyna-mitards from the quay in New York to the jail door in England, as was the case with Dr. Gallagher. Through the same agenc explosives and infernal machines have been found in spite of the most ingenious concealment; and, indeed, so nearly omniscient has Scotland Yard been that many Irishmen believe that the detectives themselves have provided their own worn and furnished their own dynamite.

BIDDING FOR THE BOOK3. The sole lady present made her first bid on tigation ot this subject. That a person may be hypnotized and be swindled, foully dealt the majority of people of any age, of both sexes, ana of all temperaments may be hypnotized. Some subjects fall into a deep sleep with loss of memory upon waking; these cases are called somnambulists, and about one-tifth ot all BUbiects are somnambulists. The patients that fall asleep iu this way lie quietly like natural sleepers if left alone.

The phenomena of sensibility, motility, ideation, imagination, illusions, and hallucinations do not appear spontaneously, but are brought aootit by suggestion. Tne same phenomena may be induced in these persons when thehypno-tizer puts himselt into relationship with them in their natural sleep; the same passive attitude of the limb3 known as catalepsy, the same automatic, movements, the same illusions, tuo same active or passive hallucinations. Hallucinations are only suggested dreams; dreams are but spontaneous hallucinations. But whether spontaneous or suggested, tnese hallucinations reinain passive; me subject is as motionless as in tho normal dream, unless aroused from his inactive state by suggestion; Just as the dreams of natural sleep became active sometimes and constitut3 natural somnambulism. In fact, all manifestations realized in the hypnotic condition may be realized in natural sleep in the same subject.

Manifestations of cystaria may occur in a hypnotized person, but the manifestations are not due to hypnosis; they are due to the operator's suggestions. The pretended physical phenomena of hypnotism are really psychical phenomena. The hypnotic sleep itself is the effect of suggestion. No one, says Dr. Bernheim, can be hypnotized unless he has the idea that he is going to be.

It is the idea that makes the hypnosis. This does not mean that no one can be hypnotized against his will; he may will not to be hypnotized, but at the same time he may have an Idea that he wil' be in spite ot his aesire not to b3; in this case he can be hypnotized. As has been said, almost all hypnotic manifestations are ruled by suggestion. The hypnotized subject grasps the operator's thought, and his brain excites and carries it out by means ot an exalted suggestion, which is produced by the special concentration of the mind in the hypnotic condition. THE METHODS OF THE PHYSICIAN.

When a docior wishes to hypnotize a patient lor treatment he begins by saying that he believes the patient will be benefited by suggestive treatment that it is possible to relieve or cure him by hypnotism; that there is nothing mysterious or hurtful in it; that it is an ordinary sleep or torpor that can b8 induced in almost any one, and that this quiet, beneficial condition restores the equilibrium of the nervous system, etc. If the patient has any objections one or two subjects are hypnotized in his presence to show that mere is nothing painful in being put in this condition. When the patient's suspicions are allayed the operator says to him "Look at me aiid think of nothing but sleep. Your eyelids beam to look heavy; your eyes are tired: the begin to wink and are getting moist; you cannot see distinctly; your eyes nr finfiil."

Smaller sums, from 100 to 600, are paid out freely to smaller informers. "FIGHTISG THE DEVIL WITH FIRE." "It is a case ot fighting the devil with fire," said Detective H. Dutton, one of the Scotland Yard men now stationed in Dublin, to a Tribune reporter in that city last winter.

"We must get this information, and there is only one way to get it ana that is to buy it. As long as these Irish secret societies keep up their work there is danger to life and "property and the money paid out is only so much insurance which the Government can well afford to give for comparative security." "Isn't it rather expensive?" "No. The amounts paid out are grossly exaggerated. I could buy any information I wanted about Dublin for a 20 note.

There are ladies of my acquaintance who are almost confirmed invalids and their ailments were brought about by wearing tight high-heeled shoes, which threw tneir body forward and caused them to toe outward in walking. Many of my lady customers are such sufferers from corns that tney do not like to go out of the house and are in misery all the time when walking, yet they will not forego their vanity and wear a sensible, easy fitting, broad soled, low heeled shoe. Some of them ao not venture to walk at all, and only go out in their carriages or upon short expeditions where the streetcars can be utilized for almost the entire distance they desire to travel.

The company obtained from Samuel Carpenter a small tract of twenty acres, running from Wissahickon Creek to the line of Germantown, on a lease lor the term of 975 years. The rent reserved was five shillings sterling per annum. What led to a dissolution of the company is not known, but it is probable that it was caused oy the destruction of the mill by a heavy freshet in 1701-'02. Some time prior to 1705 AVilliam Rittenhouse became sole owner, and then for 150 years the business was carried on by the Rittenhouse family, father, son, grandson, and greatgrandson. After Bradford went to the City of New York, where, April 10, 1693, he established a printing press, much of the paper made at the mill was sold to him.

Iu September, 1697, Bradford leased his one-fourth interest in the mill for ten years. His rent was to be paid in paper, as follows Seven reams of printing paper, two of good writing paper, and two of blue paper, yearly.
