AT meeting of the Berlin Medical
Society Professor Yirchow introduced
French physician, DR.. Feldmann, who
made some experiments in hypnotism.
A young man named Garrick offered
himself as medium. After few sec
onds of the usual manipulations the
medium fell into deep magnetic sleep.
He became perfectly apathetic and
motionless In this state of "sug-
gestion" DIR. Feldmann showed the in
fiuence of various melicaments on the
medium, who took quinine for sugar,
smacking his lips with enjoyment, and
he believed ammonia to be perfume and
smelt at it for some time. Immediately
afterward, following the will of the doe
tor, he showed the usual adherence of
those bitter and caustic substances.
With the same success he ate q lemon
for an apple. A piece of camphor held
on his forehead had singular effect.
The medium bent his body far backward
and had to be held on his chair mag
net caused dreamy state, during which
the medium related his impressions as
to events in the street, in which he be-
lieyed himself to be. Then the medium
obeyed the will of the doctor in various
ways, shoveling snow, skating. falling,
aud rising again with one jump at the
doctors suggestion, and finally took
pocketbook by force out of Professor
Virchow's pockets. He was then order
ed by DIR. Feldmann to reseat himself,
and soon woke out OF the hypnotic sleep,
remembering nothing of what had hap
pened. Two young physicians then
spoke, declaring that such experiments
were without scientific basis. They be-
lieved the suggestions" to be probably
genuine, but as TO the other experiments,
especially the effect of medicines and the
magne', they thought they needed care

A HUNTER named Sweet, shot mon
ster moose last week between Ashland,
Me-, and neighboring town. and, nc
cording TO report, it is one of the largest
ever killed III that State. The dressed
carcass weighed 200 pounds and the
antlers had a spread OF six feet. The
sportsman was much pleased at captur-
ing such large specimen. -Four other
hunters in that region did not have sim
liar luck through the nervousness of one
of the members of the party. They had
been out huuting nearly all day and had
not been rewarded by even glimpse of
any large game which they were after.
At last what should they see but four
big caribou coming directly toward them
across an open place in the woods.
Everything was favorable for a good
shot, as the wind was blowing toward
the men, so that the scent would not be
Iarried to the caribou, which were com
ing along at a good pace. The hunters
had concealed themselves behind log
and were anxiously awaiting the np-
proach of the animals, which were near
" in range, when one OF the number
became much excited, and, jumping up,
blazed away. None of the bullets
reached the mark, and, it is needless to
say, the caribou were quickly off in an
opposite direction. II is to be presumed
that the man of nerves was not
congratulated by his fellow sportsmen
upon his being the cause of their losing
such a splendid lot of game.
