D. L. Moody, the evangelist, told
story in Philadelphia recently about his
life before his conversion, when a boy
of IL. He said that while he was
pretty bad boy in his unregenerate days,
deep in the follies and errors of the
world, he never broke so far away from
his early religious training as to forget
to say his prayers every night. 81 used
to sleep with my brother he said,

Hypnotism in Medicine.

The Journal of the American Medical
Association has an editorial, the general
trend of which is to show that hyp-
notism has had its day and is practical
ly being laid upon the shelf, or, at least,
its use confined to irreguIars outside of
the recognized school of medicine. This
is rather curious statement to make,
at least if one measures the interest of
a medical topic by the number of arti-
cles written about it. There are few
subjects upon which German Physi-
clans are writing more monograms at
present or in which they seem to take
a more active interest. The sensational
side of hypnotism is certainly dying
out, but certain practical side, which
is represented by the word 'sugges-
ton, has undoubtedly come to stay and
to be used in therapeutics.

WHOLESALE JAIL BREAK.
Four Dangerous Criminals Escape From
Vancouver.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 13.-A
wholesale Jail delivery this afternoon,
whereby four leaders of a gang of safe
breakers, who have been operating
here for the past month or two, es-
capped. The escape was made about 5
O'Clock, during the few hours the pris-
oners are allowed recreation in the
yard, and it was not till half an hour
later when Jailer Moth went to lock up
before supper, that the escape was dis
covered. The mems names are: Alb.
bott Smith, King alias Clark, McGar.
ragh and Kelly.
Smith has already escaped once, and
King had nearly got away, but fell
inside of the Jail fence instead of out.
Smith and King had iron on, and
Smith was also locked in his cell, but
the iron was filed off and the lock of
the cell wrenched. The escape was
effected by cutting out a board in
cell to a hole in the yard A confed-
crate, who had been released few
days ago, evidently furnished saw to
the prisoners While the cell lock
and irons were being wrenched, one of
the men spoke to the jailer about some
medicine, and thus kept his attention.
The men had a good start, and being
desperate characters, and having some
revolvers which were stolen recently
and hidden away, they will doubtless
make hard resistance if followed. A
description of the men has been sent all
over the country, and the officers are
securing the outskirts of the city, but
1t is thought there is slight chance of
capturing them.
