HYPNOTISM.
The Dar Ger of Hypnotizing by the Unslxi1l
ed Amateur.

The Dar ger of Hypnotizng by the Unski1l
ed Amateur.
Many medical man could tell of alarm
ing conditions resulting from improper
attempts at hypnotizlng by the unskilled
amateur. One such case has quite recent
ly been reported by DR.. Scion. An anna
teur at friends house volunteered to
hypnotic another visitor, and after two
trials succeeded SO we'll that the subject
became extremely excited, lost the power
OF speech and then passed into the condi-
ton of catalepsy; subsequently he had
severe commissions. He had simply been
hypnotized by being made to look at :,
diamond ring, and afterwards the sight of
anything glistening threw him into state
of violent excitement.
The floor of the room in which the ply
stefan discovered him was covered with
cushions, as he frequently threw himself
from the sofa to the floor, and was in a
condition to grave hysteria and maniacal
excitement. He was treated with full
doses Of sedatives, chloral, sulphonal, bro
mides, and morphine, but at first showed
no improvement. After ten days the con-
vulsive attacks were replaced by periods
during which he sang persistently; he
would sing every song he knew without
stopping. After a fortnight of this ne
had high temperature for several days,
and altogether was very i'll for three weeks.
Such cases are not so uncommon as is
generally supposed. Hospital

WHY BRUTES ARE DUMB.
A Curious TT addition of the Lake Region
Indiana of Southern Canada.

| Indiana of Southern Canada.
The American Indians, especially those
of the lake regions Of southern Canada, re-
late curious tradition to account for the
fact that all lower animals are dumb, says
the st. Louis Republic. In very, very
EARLY times they say, the father of all
tribes lived in beautiful country over
against the rising sun. His form was
perfect and his face handsome in the ex-
IRENE, his descendants being all superb
specimens of humanity. Knowing of
the accomplishments, and being much
given to hatterlng each other, they became
very naughty and arrogant. AS punish
ment for their bigroty the great father
warned the father Of the tribes in a dream
| that deluge would be sent to drown them
from the face of the earth. In the dream
OF the great calamity impenking there was
presented to his visionary view the form
and outlines of a raft, which was to be
used In saving a remnant of this bigo-ed
people.
In those days all animals talked as men
do, and, when the father of the tribes in
formed the beasts of the field of his dream,
and of his ententions concerning the
building of a great craft, they protested,
declaring their unwillingness to accom-.
pany him on any such expedition. But
the man s superior Intelligence prevailed.
He built the raft, and 10! had hardly finish
ed when the flood came. The man s fam
lily and pairs of every beast took passage
and hoated for many months on the sur
face of the deluge. The clouds cleared
away on the second day after embarkation,
and for seventeen successive moons the
man used the sun as a guide, continually
steering toward his place Of setting. But
the animals, every one Of them (who, it
will be remembered had the power of
speech), protested against sailing to the
west, declaring in one voice that they pre-
ferred steering towards the sun rising
place. These murmurs had been going On
for some days when to the infinite joy of
the man who had been holding the fort
against this horde IF creatures who had
the voices of men and the reasons of
beasts, great spots OF dry land began to
appear. Finally this rudely constructed
bark grounded, and the man and his fam
lily and the beasts were again permitted
to press the face of the earth with their
feet. But great and lasting calamity
had overtaken the animals. For their
murmurs against the man while on the
water they were deprived of their power
of speech, and have remained dumb from
that day
