Physician Not Bit Disconnected by the
 Lawyers Questions.

There is a certain brilliant young lawyer in Brooklyn, with reputation for ability in 'rattling" witnesses, who had the tables neatly turned on him in a damage suit the other day. A prominent Heights physician testi- fled as to the character of the injuries sustained. by the plaintiff, and the young lawyer was seeking to ridicule his testimony. The physician had said that the plaintiffs brain and spinal cord had been injured and that the injury to the brain was manifested by an increased knee jerk.
 "Now, see here, doctcr,'' said the lawyer, going through series of phy- sical contortions, chiefly with his knees, "what does this increased knee jerk of mine show?"
 "Well," said the doctor, slowly, taking your exhibition of yourself before the jury and this knee jerk, I should say that you were suffering from serious brain trouble. ."-N. Y. Times.

Suspected Bank Robber Escapes.

John P. Dunn, charged with the murder of Sheriff Powell and the robbery of the bank at Clarksville, escaped from the county hospital at Wichita, Kas., on the 2d. Dunn was confined in the hospital, suffer- ing from a bullet wound supposed to have been received in battle with Sheriff Powell. The authorities of this state offered a reward of $1, ,000 for the arrest and conviction of each of the bank robbers Shortly after the crime was committed Dunn was received at the hospital in Wichita. He refused at first to give his name, and told conflicting stories as to how he received the wound. The authorities investigated, and secur- ed sufficient evidence to connect him with the crime committed at Clarks- vile. Gov, Davis made requisition on the governor of Kansas for the prisoner, who would have been re- turned to this state as soon as his wound permitted of his travel ing. It is believed the man sue ceeded in bribing the guards, and by the aid of a friend who secured admission to the hospital, his es- cape was made easy. The governor and attorney general of Kansas will investigate and some officials of Wichita may be held responsible for allowing the man to gain his liber- ty. Gov. Stanley has offered an additional reward for Dunn's cap ture.

INSANITY IN ANCIENT TIMES.
Early References to Abnormal Mental
 Conditions-Musi as a Cure.

The earliest known historical ref erence to insanity, says the Popular Science Monthly, occurs in Egypt papyri of the fifteenth century B. c. In one of these, according to Mahaffy, music is spoken of as employed in the treatment of insanity, and many for mulae are given for the cure of dis eases caused by an evil spirit dwelling within the body. Probably the next earliest record is that found in He brew history, referring to the same therapeutic agent, this time used to calm the troubled spirit of Saul (1O55 B. O.. In the first book of Samuel we read: "When the evil spirit was upon Saul, that David took a harp and played with his hand; so Saul was refreshed and was well and the evil spirit departed from him." The legendary history of Greece affords numerous instances of madness, but as to the treatment in these early times there is only eloquent silence. The belief in demoniacal possession was prevalent among primitive peo- pies, furnishing clew for such treat ment as was anywhere attempted, and this belief, giving way few centuries later to a partial realization of the physical basis of insanity in the best medical minds, recurs again in the darkness and decadence of the middle ages, but magnitied and rendered ter rible by the ignorance and gross super stitions ofthe time. In ancient Egypt, demons were exercised and lunatics purified in temples dedicated to Sat- urn. The god Khons is said to have answered prayers for the cure of an Asiatic princess. The priests of Egypt, who were also physicians of the day, were not unmindful- of the benefit of hygienic measures, and com bined with them the charm of music and the influence of the beautiful in nature and in art.
