A NEW GAME.
Something Which Promises to Drive
Out Progressive Euchre.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
A new game which promises to be in
great vogue during the coming winter is
military euchre." 1t has some of the
features of progressive euchre, but brings
about an even more jolly combination of
players than that popular amusement.
There may be any number Of tables. Each
must have a chosen color. and each Is dis
tinguished by It's coIcr. Attached to the
back of one OF the chairs at each table is
a sheaf of flags of the chosen color. In
stead of plain colors, however, flags of all
nations may be chosen, which will add a
good deal 20 the vivacity of the game and
also considerably to the expense. The play
ers have Nos. and for the women and
3 and for the men. When the first game

on. capturing the flags of other colors In
the end the table having the most flags
won from other tables or retained on it's
own sheaf-will be the winner of the four
prizes. which are of equal value. The in
terest to the game attaches to the fact that
the four players who start out to play to-
gether remain allies throughout the even
ing. though varieties in the couples are in
PRODUCED as the game progresses. Some
times the two men will go away on an at
lacking party and sometimes the two wo-
men. in which case their opponents are of
the opposite sex. But the end is always
the same-to gain new flags and to keep the
home flags In their place. The entire game
is Systematically worked out. Cards are
provided marked with the number of games
to be played during the evening, one for
each table. On 1t plain directions for the
scouting parties are given. Opposite game

HYPNOTIC CURES.
Result of Experiments in an English
Insane Asylum.

From the London Hospital.
In lecture delivered before the Kings
College Medical Society DIR. Milne Bram-
well gave an interesting sketch of the sub
ject Of hypnotism Describing the expert
ments Of Florel, who till recently was med
ical director Of the Burgholi Asylum and
one of the professors of the University of
Zurich, he said that he succeeded in hyp-
nothing nearly all his asylum attendants,
both male and female, a large proportion of
them becoming profound somnambules. For
ten years experiments were made In regard
to the use of hypnotism in the night watch
Ing Of dangerous lunatics. Warders were
hypnotized and trained to sleep by the bed
side of these patients and to awake the in
slant they heard them attempt to get out
of bed, the hypnotic suggestion being made
use of to inhibit all sounds, which had no
reference to the duty laid upon them, and
1t was found that warders so hypnotized
could perform night duty for six months
and work hard all day without showing
signs o. fatigue. The results of these ex-
periments were, 1t Is said, uniformly sue
cessful, and no accident of any kind &C.
CURED.
In regard to this and other applications OF
hypnotism, DR.. Bramwell refers to the
method of Wettersrand, who, instead Of re-
stricttng himself to suggestions made In
the course of a short hypnotic trance, adj
vocated rhe use of the curative effects OF
prolonged hypnotic sleep. Wetterstrand
treated epilepsy and grave forms Of ner-
vous disorder by keeping the patients in the
hypnotic trance for three or four weeks.
Without rousing them the patients were fed
at stated intervals, and the action of the
bowels and bladder were regulated by sug-
gestion. and thus mental as well as physical
rest were given, in addition to such thera-
peutic advantages as might be gained by
aid Of suggestion.
DR.. Milne Bramwell says that, although
every one cannot be deeply hypnotized.
profound states are not necessary for the
successful employment of suggestion, and
the number Of persons insusceptible to
some degree Of hypnotic influence Is ex-
tremely small. Among other diseases he
gives the following as those in which hyp-
nottsm has given good results: '.Hysteria.
neurasthenia. dipsomnia and other drug
habits. obsessions. moral perversities and
nervous tricks in children" We may add
that, as far as the treatment Of dipsomnia
Is concerned. It seems not entirely impos-
sfble that some OF the startling results
which are said to have been obtained at
certain institutions for the treatment OF
this condition may have been the outcome
OF an unacknoWledged but none the less
eifectual application OF hypnotic sugges-
ton.
