Unconscious Hypnotism.

London (Ont.) Corr. Toronto Mail.
A strange case of hypnotism is re-
ported in this city. The medium lisa
woman 40 years of age who has lost
her reason, and it is therefore believ.
ed that she is acting unconsciously
upon her victim, a young lady Of
about 20 summers. 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 i'll, the young
woman waited upon her, until atlast
she could not stay awav, and was
constantly running across the road
to the house. She became SO bad in
this particular that one night,
unknown 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 impossi-
BILE. Her body was pinched, and
even a needle had no effect. Walk.
ing her on the floor was also tried
without success. She was in a state
of lethargy from which all the efforts
of the neighbors could not awaken
her, and q doctor was summoned.
His skill was at last successful, after
she had slept about twenty-four
hours. It is said that if the medium
was not a crazy person she could
either have aroused the young lady
from the stupor OF else have followed
up the work with suggestions to her
victims mind; but she was uncon-
scious of anything wrong, apparent
l.y. The neighbors, however, have no
doubt as to her being the individual
who is causing 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 other
wise, and also very intelligent. At
present she is under the care oftriends
constantly, and is kept perfectly
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 re-
lapse she will always in future be
more susceptible to mesmeric infu-
ences. ~.sr~-~

Why the Trains Walt.

It has probably puzzled many .
traveller, who, fitting ~impatiently 10
q train, has waited for the draw Of q
bridge to close which had been opened
to allow some snaillike boat to creep
up the current, why the rapidly NOV
ing train was not given the preced-
ence, as il could swiftly hurry away.
IL 10 not due to the excuse that the
boat cannot hold itself against the
stream, for Ii can and does this fre-
quently. It 10 simply the application
of the old common law principle al
easement. The boats had the use 81
navigable streams long before rail-
roads were invented, and when the
latter bridged rivers they didso sub
ject to the formers interest therein,
and for this reason railroad trains
are to-day obliged % stand back
while the boats pass ahead. All
modern conditions would indicate
that tho locomotive should have pre-.
cedence of the steamer, and the fact
that III does not shows the tenacious,
grip Of custom.-St. Paul Pionser
