Is hypnotism to succeed the sandbag
and chloroform bottle in the kit of the
up-to-date burglar? The question.
which opens a wide field for specula-
ton, is called out by a case which came
up in Jefferson Market court, New
York. the other day. Conductor Rich
ard Hudson af the Lexington avenue
cable road. was held for trial on a
charge Of robbing two fellow conduc-
tors. 1t is alleged he hypnotized them
and so induced them to hand over their
timepieces. Frank Graham is a con-
ductor and boarded Hudson's car to go
home. He sat near the door, and ma
turally Conductor Hudson talked with
him. Graham says Hudson looked him
straight in the face. and aaon he began
TO feel an uncomfortable desire to sleep.
Graham was an easy victim, and in a
few minutes he was enjoying a deep en-
trancing sleep. Then II is charged that
Hudson took the watch off the sleeper.
The next night Conductor James Finn
was put to sleep and charmed out Of
his watch while in Hudson's company.
But Hudson became bold and told two
men how he got Grahams watch and
where he pawned il for Sc. He forgot
TO hypnotic his listeners. and so the
conversation was repeated to Detective
Rohring. The latter recovered the
watch and arrested Hudson

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Questionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles but it is man

SnaIkes Inside a Cow.

Nicholas Gradner, n well-known and
prosperous farmer near Portersville,
Butler county, twelve miles from here
was in the city and told the following
remarkable story. which is vouched for
by reliable people. Says the Snaketown
Clarion. He said that seven days ago
valuable COW. belonging to the family
was missing, and that yesterday the
animal was found dead. lying among
the cranberry bushes in the swamp. A
veterinary surgeon named Porter hap
pened along about that time and said
he had a curiosity to know the cause
Of the animals death. He proceeded to
hold a post-mortem on the body. While
he was at work 4-foot blacksnaxe
crawled from the mouth of the dead COW
and succeeded in escaping in the under
brush. The doctor was considerably
startled, but he proceeded with his
work, and when he had reached the
stomach he was Mortified 20 find that
IL was fairly alive with little black
snakes from 6 to s inches in length.
Thirty-two OF the reptiles were slaugh-
tered and few escaped. 1t is now sup
posed that the mother snake in some
manner crawled into the interior of the
cow while she was eating. and that the
little snakes. which are known to find
refuge in the interior of the old one.
