Hypnotism For the Drink Habit

A New York dispatch a few days ago announced that Prof. Hyslop of Colum- bia university, had received an offer of one million dollars from a wealthy founding a clinic in the, metropolis where disease may be treated by hyp~ notic suggestion. Tn reply to inquiries Prof 'HyslOp stated that the project was still in a "nebulous state bat he practically admitted that the money had been offered. About two years ago, 1t will be remembered, Prof. HyslOp had a series of interesting articles in Harper's Magazine detailing and cor- menting upon his experiments with Mrs. Piper, the noted Boston clairvoy- ant. de has taken a pronounced stand in favor of beliefs which are usually rejected by scientific men, and he is a Gtrong advocate of hypnotism as a cure for disease.
 Students of hypnotism incline to the belief that it has a future in the cure of the drink habit and of drug habits generally, and if the clinic sug- gested is established it will doubtless make a speciality of curing the nervous diseases of which the drink habit is one of the principal manifestations.

was not cleared until late in the after headquarters with the intelligence that the body of Capt Yamanochi had been found in remote portion of the fort property. back of the firing groundss. A revolver with one empty chamber lay upon the turf beside the dead man. and two open letters were in his pocket. The first was addressed to the com mander. It was couched with formal dignity.
 The captain begged to report that, through his. negligence, the horses had broken loose and destroyed themselves. He had therefore proved unpardonably remiss in his duty and could DO longer exist.
 The commander was informed that the broken heart of the unworthy off cer was, however. with his regiment in the last moments. and the last prayer before he died was for the great honor and welfare of the beloved command in the coming campaigns against the Russians.
 The second letter was addressed to the wife, and was a dying mans as- surance of love.
 Capt Yamanochi was a man of dis tinguished family, character and edu- cation. His personal courage had been proved. He was beloved by his fellow oa5oarS o~d bu biS mon
 He was accounted a broad man among the Japanese; and his death, weak and pitiable as it appears from the standpoint of an American, was regarded, deep in the minds of his con- temporaries, as unfortunate, but prop er-sad, but fitting.
 And here we are confronted with the astonishing lack of the sense of humor in the Japanese people.
 An American who proved careless enough to lose a few horses would be disturbed for a few days, until the bumps ceased coming in from his su- perlors. After that he would set about to repair the matter by better service.
 On the contrary, the Japanese would not commit suicide because of financial troubles, wherein he is above the Amer ican. The former quails most Of all before that large, delicate thing which he calls his honor.
 Infinite generations have inculcated in the Japanese mind a capacity for the last desperate act of man-brought him close to the possibility of it. the glam or of honor has made it easy to em- brace, and the hereafter sclf-achieved allures rather than restrains.
 And the point of all this is that in the coming land campaigns toward Harbin, Port Arthur, Vladivostok or wherever else a Japanese column may beat it's way-there will be few, if any, prisoners taken by the Russins. The Jap will keep his last blade and his last pound of strength for himself.

He finds l5 to 20 hypnotic suggestions to be gen. erally sufficient, but keeps the patient under observation for year and does not reckon the case "cure" until at least twelve months have passed with out relapse. De Jong, of The Hague. has treated Al drunkards in f3 years, and reports 19 of them as cured: in some instances the cure has been illus trated by ten years abstinence from alcohol
 Dr. Tuckey urges that alcoholic sub jects ought to be given the chance of hypnotic treatment, and points out the advantage this method possesses over confinement in a retreat. He finds that most alcoholics are good hypnotic sub jects, and places considerable stress upon the desire of the patient to be cured as an important element in sue cessful treatment. It matters little what method of hypno otization is adopt ed, and any doctor who has the conf- dence of his patient can practice the treatment wirh a reasonab ble prospect of success provided both practitioner and patient take the matter seriously.

Reports from Tokio and St. Peters burg agree that several score of the Japanese soldiers who went down with the transport Kinshiu Maru when that vessel was sunk by the Vladivostok fleet, last week, deliberately chose death in preference to surrender. The Japanese accounts say that one officer. upon seeing that escape was impossi- ble. disemboweled himself after the ancient custom of harikari, while many of the soldiers shot themselves. Others, in response to the Russian or ders to surrender, continued to fire up- on the Russians until carried under the waves by the sinking transport. The
