Vista office of the Mexican Central rail-
way, in this city, was called by the Ell
Paso office, saying that the oldtime
telegraph operators, who were having a
reunion in Washington, would like
to hear from their brethren and friends
beyond the Rio Grande. FL Paso sig
nailed Spencer to call Kansas City,
which he did, and Kansas City in turn
told him to call Washington, who was
evidently waiting, as the reply came in
stantly, when Spencer sent the follow
ing message:
''T. T. Eckert and the Old Timers:

the land of the Montezumas send warm

Hysteria and Hypnotism.

At the recent meeting of the French
Society of Hypnology in Paris Dr. Beril-
Ion astonished his hearers by stating that
almost all children could be hypnotized
except those who were idiotic or hyster-
ical. The idea that there is any connec-
ton between hysteria and hypnotism
was strongly disputed. One physician
alleged that he had hypnotized sixty
nine patients out of seventy-two under
his care for various diseases in a hospi-
tai, and said it was absurd to believe
that so large proportion could be hys-
terical.-Exchang
