Unconscious Hypnotism.
London oOntl Corr, Toronto Mail.

London (Ont.) Corr. toronto Mall.
A strange case of hypnotism is re-
ported in this city. The medium is a
woman 40 years of age who has lost her
reason, and it is therefore believed that
she is acting unconsciously upon her
victim, young lady of about 20 sum-
mers. The two are neighbors, living on
opposite sides of the same street, and it
appears that some two months ago,
when the medium was taken Ill, the
young woman waited upon her, until at
last she could not stay away, and was
constantly running across the road to the
house. She became SO bad in this par
ticular that one night this week, un-
known to the people of the house, she
stayed all night, and when an attempt
was made to arouse her in the morning
it was found impossible. Her body
was pinched, and even needle had no
effect. Walking her on the floor was
also tried without success. She was IN
state Of lethargy from which all the
efforts of the neighbors could not
awaken her, and a doctor was sum-
moned His skill was at last success
full, after she had slept about twenty
four hours. It is said that if the medi-
UNI was not a crazy person she could
either have aroused the young lady
from the stupor or else have followed
up the work with suggestions to her
victim mind but she was unconscious
of anything wrong, apparently. The
neighbors, however, have no doubt as to
her being the individual who is caus
ing all the trouble. The girl says she
knows nothing Of what goes on while
under this wonderful influence. She
experienced no pain of any description
when being pinched. She had been
several times put to sleep, but not for
such long periods as the one mentioned.
The subject of this power is in fair
health otherwise, and also very intelli-
gent. AT present she is under the care
of friends constantly and is kept per-
fectly quiet. 1t is expected she will be
able to throw off the influence this time,
but as a severe shock to her nervous
system is almost sure to cause a. relapse
she will always in future be more sus-
ceptible to mesmeric influences.

Relic of Serpent Worship.

A huge serpent mound has been dis
covered in the Carthage Road, between
Quincy, ILL.,, and Carthage, by the Rev.
S. D. Peet. A clearly defined rattle
snake lies coiled along the ground, fol-
lowing the line of the bluff It's entire
length is l ,450 feet. The ridge has been
plowed down until now it is only two OF
three feet above the surface, but the
outlines are still plainly discernible
The mounds at the coils of the serpent
are ten or twelve feet high. The spe-
cific dimensions are 600 feet from the
head to the coils; the coils occupy a
space 800 feet in length and are made
up of four distinct mounds 100 feet
apart. From the coils to the rattle OF
the snake is $50 feet, and there are
three rattles occupying space of 10C
feet. The serpent lies north and south
straight line drawn through it show
ing DETECTION to the east of fifty feet
near the head. and seventy-fve feet
near the tail. Mr. Peet explored one
of the mounds, and few feet below
the surface found the remains of five
persons; but he does not think that
these are the remains of the serpent
worshipers, which he thinks are buried
deeper. He will make further explor-
atoms

Brown Brothers is the most remark
able family of bankers in America,
holding distinction much like Barring
Brothers of London. The great strength
of this firm is shown by its ability to
lose so many Gifts prominent members,
and vet maintain its onward way with
unbroken success. Alexander Brown,
its founder, died some years ago, and
his death was followed by his brother
James, who was one of the pillars of the
house, and now another pillar, James
M. Brown, has fallen. All reached old
age, and were noted for excellence
of character as we'll as for great wealth.
One of the leading members of the
house at present is James Browns SON
in-law, Howard Potter, son Of the late
bishop of Pennsylvania, and brother of
the present Episcopal Bishop of New
York. Howard Potter is father
of James Brown Potter, whose wife has
been SO prominent and also so unfor-
tunate in theatrical matters. The emil
nent position of the family. indeed, both
in financial and social circles, has rem
dered the notorietv Of this affair pecu-
liarly annoying; but as Mrs. Potter's
stage life is probably finished she may
yet be received into that domestic circle
which she forsook. Her public career
has been marked with financial ill-suc-
cess and failure of health, and also by
Litigation with her manager, and the
latest feature in these legal troubles was
the arrest of her business agent in this
city-a strange chapter of misfortune
following the equally strange abberra-
ton from private life to the stage.

Greece.
From the Youths Companion.


There is certain boy who, one day III
class, delivered eloquently the stirring
line, "And the rafting roar of the mos
quitoes," and only paused when the
general laughter implied that mosqui-
toes differed from musketeers. But
this same lad sometimes detects bis
elders in a plunder, and then his delight
is great.
One day he came home from school
and said to the family, assembled at the
dinner table:
"Please tell me something about
Greece. We've got to talk about it this
afternoon"
Now no one present could be expect
ed to guess whether the talk had to dc
with geography or chemistry, and one
of the maiden aunts innocently
answered from the point of view most
familiar to her.
at won't mix with water, but ALWAYS
rises to the top" said she.
You can take it out of cloth with
ammonia" added another, and then the
schoolboy shouted aloud in glee. Since
that day, whenever his own mistake be-
comes,the subject of family mirth he has
a way of saying slyly:
"Greece rises to the top of the water.
That must be why she appeared above
the Mediterranean ~
