FORGOT HER LEFT ARM.
The Result OF an Overs .ght in a Hypnotic Expert.


ment.
INciU York Siu,.l
Court Councillor Mcyucrt, Professor Of
Medicine at the University in Vienna, was
prevented recently from delivering one of his
regular afternoon lectures, and. as the students
were already assembled his assistant DIR. An
ton, undertook 20 hypnotic a young woman
for the instruction ofthe disappointed audience.
The young woman was tall, slender, light
haired. and somewhat over 90 years Of age.
Dr. Anton let his hand glide over her forehead
smuothed her Cyclids with his Ringers, touched
her cheeks with soft downward strokes, and
then commanded loudly, Now sleep She
slept.
" Your arms arc completely crippled" he
said, and both arms sank limp to her sides.
What will You now do, poor creature, without
any armsT he asked. The girl raised her
bowed head and began TO weep and wall so pite-
ously that the students rose in their places and
shouted that she must be restored at once TO
consciousness.
DIR. Anton seized the young wOmau's right
arm, rubbed il smartly, and suggested:
" You are all right now. Your arm is well
again." In the same instant the girl raised
her arm with a triumphant expression OF face.
Dr. Anton then aroused her. To his and his
auditors astOnishment, however, the girls left
arm still hung limp and apparently nerveless
at her side. He had forgotten, in speaking
colloquialiy, to tell her that her left arm. too,
had recovered its strength. He touched the
helpless arm and exhOrted the young woman
TO raise it, but in vain. She couldn't stir it an
inch.
DIR. Anton then explained that the students
had before them a case Of post hypnotic Grip
ling which could be removed only after the
girl had been again hypnotized. He was un-
willing 10 exhaust the girl by bringing her
Immediately under his influence once more, so

several days. He said the girl was so subject
TO influences that the regular ticking Of clock
or the monOtOnous ringing of a church-bell
would suffice to hypuotize her.

Malcolm w. Ford, of New York, the
champion all-round athlete, well known
to Wilmington lovers of sports, has
been disinherited by his fathers will,
and cut off without receiving penny
of the 81 100000 devised by will to the
mother and six brothers and sisters Of
the athlete. Young Ford's love for
manly sports is said to be the cause Of
his being cut off, his father desiring him
to devote his attention to literature
The father and son had been estranged
for some time but had effected recon
Citation recently. The father was taken
suddenly i'll and died November 14th
without having altered the provisions Of
his will, as he had intended, and the
sons name does not appear in the docu-
ment. Ford says he will not contest the
will as he is able to earn living for
himself as he has done for sometime in
journalism. He is probably without a
peer as an all-round athlete in this
country and took part in the Warren
Club sports in this city four or five years
ago.

SPURIOUS CENTS.
How tho Small Boy Deludes the Slot
Machines


1t is remarkable to what extent the
copper one-cent piece is counterfeited
by the average small boy nowadays to
secure chewing gum and sweet choco-
late from the automatic penny in-the-slot
machines. His work has become SO
chronic that the retail dealers who dis
play tho nickel-in-the-slot and
renny-in- the-slot machines outside
their places of business have
begun to talk of abolishing the
popular devices altogether. Were the
persons who display the machines to re-
celye for every piece of sweet chocolate
and every piece of chewing gum their
automatic devices contain 4 copper
penny instead of a piece in care
1ully rounded, brass button or beer
check, they would make money. As il
is, confectioners, storc-kcepers, druggist.
and others who employ the slot ma,
chimes, aver that unless the manufac
turers succeed in inventing something
that VIII not prove receptacle for but
tons, chunks OF lead, bits Of tin and beer
checks, they will be forced TO discon-
tinnc the patent devices altogether.
a lew days ago reporter was shown
by Well=known druggist of this city
Just how the small boy succeeds in get
ting his sweet chocolate and chewing
gum without much financial output
During a period covering about eight
months the druggist had kept an ac-
count OF the various pieces of metal and
other objects used by the small boy,
VINO Is wont 70 counterfeit or go with
out his chocolate or gum, and the coun-
terieit pennies were found to number
several thousands They completely
MEG wooden box about by G! inches
in dimensions.
In looking over the assortment the
reporter found material of almost every
conceivable kind. In fact there was
almost everything else in the box ex-
cept copper penny, and all valueless,
Win a lew exceptions. The reporter
found buttons Of every kind, color and
material the size of penny; poker
chips, Chinese coins, tiddley-winka,
tobacco tags, iron washers, the tlattened
wheel OF watch; 10-cent piece with
a round hole in the same; milk checks,
piece of printers rule, Italian coins
pieces Of vulcanized fibre, piece Of cor !
set steel, collar buttons, round pieces Of |,
glass, bangle OF ady's bracelet, pieces !
Of zinc, copper and tin, d ilattened
u.oo aiu Solns u various foreign
nations. The collection shown BY lie
druggist comprised about 5000 pieces
or $50 worth of gum or chocolate what
ever it may be, which is complete loss
to the druggist, and in holding back his
percentage the druggist must deduct
the amount equal to that lost by the
counterfeiting from the earnings Of the
machine. This being so, it can DO
readily seen that the druggist mentioned
could not have profited much by his
machine during the past eight months
for he both had to make good the loss
sustained by the CONTRIBUTING and he
also lost his percentage on the $40.
