There is an interesting story, very little
known, of how Cruikshank conceived his
picture of Fagin, the Jew. During the
time he was illustrating "oliver Twist"
he spent days traversing the east end OF
London in search of face that would cor
respond with his conception Of the char
acter. One day while standing before a
mirror In his dining room pulling faces
at himself" so to speak, for the want OF
something better to do, he accidentally
made the features for which he was looking
The picture therefore Of Fagin is really that
Of Cruikshank himself.-Yankee Blade.

THE ABUSE OF HYPNoTIsM.
Quacks and Charlatans Who Make Use OF
1t to tull the Public.

Quacks and Charlatans Who Make Use OF
1t to tsull the Public.
While the benefits from hypnotism
thus far have been few and small, the
evils have been many and great. Its
sleeplike state is not a normal sleep,
bringing health and strength to the
slumberer, but a morbid condition Dor
dering upon disease 1t irritates the en-
tire nervous organization and Temporal
rily if not organically weal1ens the sys-
tenn. This drawback is serious enough.
Darker and more terrible effects lie In
the suppression of the objects will for
the time being, and the substitution
therefor of the operators. In this re-
gard it opens avenues to crime and crimi-
mails such us has never been equaled
heretofore. Already so many discredit-
able actions, not to use stronger word,
have been committed in Europe by
means of hypnotism that in Italy, Aus
tro-Hungary, parts of Switzerland, Co
penhagen and other municipalities laws
have been enacted prohibiting its public
practice by any except physicians. So,
on the other hand, the police, without
any statute on the subject, have treated
travelling mesmerists as disorderly char
acters. Thus Donate was expelled from
Italy, and Hansen, anotar hypnotist,
from Austria, was notified never to re-
turn under penalty Of arrest, fine and
imprisonment.
This Donate (whose real name, by the
way, is DhonD hypnotized an Italian ar
tillery officer, who Immediately became
half crazy From time to time he would
go into somnambulism at the sight Of a
bright object. He would follow carriage
lamps, and unless prevented would walk
toward locomotive or steamer lights.
An architectural student was mesmer-
lied by staring at his compasses, after
which it was impossible for him to draw
without going to sleep.
A young girl of Milan, of beauty and
character, was hypnotized and impressed
with the notion that she was married 70
man she had never seen but once and
then in the darkness. She went crazy
and died in hospital.
Another young girl (of Paris, this
tine) was put under similar spell and
was ruined. She finally entered the
Saltpetriere hospital, where, after long
and painful remedy, what was left Of
her former self was pronounced cured.
In New York a hypnotized person was
made to believe that he had taken slow
poison. He fell sick and wasted away
TO shadow. Not until the attending
physician discovered the true nature of
the hallucination and rehypnotized the
subject was there any symptom of con-
valescence.
In Turin, at a series Of hypnotic lee
lures and public experiments, a large
proportion Of those who attended were
taken sick with headache, insomnia and
other nervous ailments. A few Of those
who were Of a hysterical temperament
remained i'll for long time.
In the foregoing cases the hypnotizing
was done with no evil intent, but there
are hundreds of recorded instances where
it was done with intent Of evil.-Phila.

Threaten to Lead To Quite Legal
Tangie In Massachusetts.
BosToN, Oct. s.-The trouble for the
railroads over the interchangeable mile
age book law has begun in earnest. Ag-
grieved parties are making their com
plants not only to the railroad commits
sioners, but are appealing 10 the courts
for redress.
Justice Allen yesterday In the supreme
court issued an order Of notice, returnable
next week, on the petition for mandamus
brought by George r. Rogers against the
Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad
company. The petitioner alleges that he
applied to the railroad for an interchange
able mileage book, but IL was refused him.
He asks the court to compel the railroad
to issue the ticket TO him. This is the
first case brought under the new act, and
will undoubtedly be madea test one.
One more complaint in relation to the
Hutchinson mileage law was filed with
the railroad commissioners yesterday. The
complainant is j. Edward Wallace, doing
business in Boston. He states that he has
repeatedly offered mileage book issued
by the Boston and Maine Railroad com
pany on the Boston and Albany road, but
the conductor refused to allow him to
travel on il.
No action has yet been taken by the
commissioners They state that they noti.
fled the roads complained of that all com.
plants made from that day would be con-
sidered, and unless they complied with
the law the matter would be referred to
the attorney general. After sufficient
period of time has elapsed, they will act
on these lines
