Superstitious People Who Believe In
Saints but Not in Vaccination.
MONTREAL, Sept 21.-Seme idea of the
increase of smallpox may be gathered
from the fact that this week there have
been $50 deaths. or two moro than during
the whole Of last Week, with two days to
run, which will probably bring up
the total death rate to $50. There
were twenty-nine deaths Thursday.
Saturday morning the Roman
Catholic bishop of Montreal had a confer
ence with the supervisor of the Gray nuns
and the Sisters of Providence and gave them
his authority to allow their nuns to assist
the board Of health in their work by
house to house inspection. Some idea of
the superstition Of the lower class of
French Canadians may bs gathered from
tho fact that pictures Of st. Roche,
with q prayer on the back, are
having a rapii sale as a protector
from small pox. They wear them at their
work, firmly believing in the efficacy of
the protection, though they have no faith in
vaccination. When they pass placarded
house the picture-card is held up and the
prayer muttered. They catch the smallpox
all the Same. There are some hundred cases
in ST. Cunegonde and several in Griffin
town. The Gray nuns have discovered over
fifty cases during the last four or five days.

ESCAPED FROM THE ASYLUM.
The Chicago Book Thief Writes y LotteR
to the ASYLUM Superintendent and Skips.


to the Asylum Superintendent and Skips.
CHICAGO, Sept Sl.-Otto Funk, alias j.
A. Talbot alias Otto Boehms, the notorious
public library thief and university tunnel
crank, who was adJudged insane and sent
to the Elgin asylum. has made his escape
from that institution. His apartment was
located ON the ground floor Of the asylum.
Not being regarded dangerous or violent,
his window was not barred. He cautiously
hoisted the lower sash and jumped out,
leaving behind q letter to DR.. Kilbourne,
the medical superintendent.
Funk announced his arrival In this city at
the office of his former attorney, Mr.. Frank
d. Turner. To his lawyer he protested
against returning to the asylum, and de-
clared he was not insane and never had
been. He boldly asserted he would prefer the
Jail to the asylum, if so be that he must
be incarcerated again. Then he sat down
and indicted long epistle to DIR. Kill
bourne expressing his opinion OF the man.
agement OF the Elgin institution, referring
particularly to his own treatment there. He
complained Of having been bulldozed by the
doctor, who detained him simply on the.
ground that there was something mysteri.
Gus" about him; and requests that his dis
charge and personal effects be forwarded to
him.
In answer to inquiries, Funk said he had
never been insane, but was little peculiar
perhap. The plea of insanity, he said, was
set up by his lawyer, in spite Of his protests,
as the surest method of securing immunity
from punishment at his trial. The books
from tho public library, he says, he merely
borrowed to satisfy his passion for learning,
and intended to return every ons of them-
The tunneling at the Chicago university he
explains by saying it was done to substanti-
ate the plea of insanity set up by his lawyer.
Funk indeed appears quite rational now.

Mormonism is adapted to the in

To these are offered just what they are
sure always to hunger for, bold as

show of authority. these helping to
gertrude in faith; salvation by forms,
by the legerdemain of rite, the hocus-

by the assurance that he is of the few

the standard of morality SO 1amentabfy

Whatever precautions may be taken,

With respect to the size of the gal

Here is the testimony of Jean Mar

experience of many years:
stAl the convicts are chained to
benches, six to each. These are four
feet from each other, and are covered
with a sack stuffed with wool, over
which is thrown sheepskin that de-
sends to the footrest. The comite,
that is, the matter of the chain-gang,
stands at the stern, near the captain,
to receive his orders. There are two
sous comites-one in the middle, the
other at the prov. Each is armed with
a whip, which is applied to the naked
bodies of the slaves. When the cap
tain gives orders to weigh, the comite
gives the signal with silver whistle
that hangs from his neck. This signal
is repeated by the sous-comites, and
the slaves beat the water
with their oars together; you would
say that the fifty oars were but one

they raise the end they hold so as to
plunge the other in the sea; this done,
they throw themselves back and fall on
their seat, which bends beneath their
weight. The galley slave thus rows
sometimes ten, twelve, and even twenty
hours in succession without a single
stop. On such occasions the connie
would thrust a piece of bread soaked in
wine <pto the mouths of the poor oars

the Captain would command the comite
to redouble his blows. If one of the
poor wretches fell exhausted over his
oar, which frequently happened, he
was f1ogged until he was supposed to-
be dead, and then cast into the sea

THE WITCHING WEED.
Something About the History of Chewing
and Smoking.

Something About the History of Chewing
and Smoking.
Cigars were not known until about
1915. Previous to that time pipes were
used exclusively.
Chewing had been in vogue to linn
itedextent for some time, while snuff
ing dates back almost as far as smok-
ing.
The first package sent to Catherine
de Medici was in fine powder. She
found that smelling 1t in the box af-
fected her similarly to smoking, which
led her to fill one of her smelling bot
Ties with the dust. Her courtiers
adopted the habit of snuffing small por-
lions of it up the nostrils, and as the
precious stuff became more plentiful
the snuffing habit became more gen.
eral, until at last man or woman was
not considered as in proper form unless
they snutfed.
The custom became so common in
England that snuf-box was no longer
a sign of rank. Then it was the law
prohibiting the culture of the plant,
except for medicine, was passed. About
the same time heavy tariff was placed
on the imported article, thereby prac-
tically placing it beyond the reach of
the common herd and giving royalty
complete monopoly.
Since it first began to be used as
luxury there have been conflicting opin-
ions in regard to its effects. The Ro-
mish Church once forbade its use, and
the Church of England detained
against it.
The Wesleys opposed it hotly, and at
one time it was considered SO unclean
as to unfit men for membership in the
Methodist Church.
Baptist and Presbyterian ministers
preached against it, and societies were
organized to oppose the spread of the
habit, but all to no purpose. Parents
disowned and disinherited their chill
dren because they used it, and hus--
bands divorced their wives on account
of their having contracted the habit OF
smoking.
1t is singular that when women get
into the habit of smoking pipe they
prefer strong one.
There are few men who have nerve
enough to smoke pipe such as a wom-
an likes when she has become con-
firmed smoker. When they first begin,
putting cigars they prefer them very
mild, but it is not long until they want
them black and strong and lots Of

that the pair viii turn up when it be-
comes expedient to do so.
As for me. have taken pains to
verify the date of the disappearance of
Miss Julia Radcliffe at New Orleans,
and find it to be the same day and hour
as Dr. Gerald Ashley's and my own
visit to Prof. Vehr's apartments, on
the night of the grand explosion at the
Palace Hotel. Ihave arrived at GER
tain conclusion on the facts, and con-
slider that the most judicious as well as
the most sympathetic course I can pur-
sue. under the circumstances. is to
place the foregoing facts before the
public just as they are; thereby, per-
haps, affording that poor solace to the
afflicted which consists in the removal
of an ill-grounded hope of ever seeing
their lost and loved ones again.-Rob-

it to mean the production of phenomena

.'the existence of real and actual
medium whereby communications can
be transmitted, though such medium is
imperceptible to our ordinary senses.
and can not be weighed or measured
by ordinary scientific Instructions.
But what reason have you,n | OBJ
iected, '.for presuming the existence of
any such medium at all?''
1.-The very best reason" he answered;
''the actual experience of the past"
You do not mean that You. person
ally, have communicated within
short, transmitted messages to, and re-
ceived messages from-distant persons

wires?' l asked.
There is nothing so extraordinary in
that. You must surely have witnessed
the application of that law in the case
of clairvoyants and trance mediums ="
"Ahm returned /. .But we were not
talking of clairvoyants and trance me-

referred to a purely mental source. We

So it was agreed upon between the
Young physician, in whose room I then

again that evening at a certain spot,

the phenomena we had been talking
