It is an cany and wry profitable
business to smuggle rifle into Moroc
co. A wttapon may lj lnju;rlit in
Gibraltar for $10 and sold in tlio in
terior for five or six times that sum.
Fumxglers are continually running
over in feluccas and beachfng thoe
arms somewhere between Vum Kiiur-
tol and Tangier, and curious are the
devices by which they accomplish
uii'ir transport .
t)ne smuggler told a traveler that
he ran his cargo into Tangier bay
after dark and unloaded the rifh-s
on the beach not a quarter of a mile
twin Uie custom houao.
"Who assists you in unloading!"
asKoti tue traveler.
"I generally employ the Dorters
of the custom house," was the inno-
oent reply.
Tlicn, noting tlio surprise and
amuwment of his hearers, lie added:
"nicy are more skilled in onload-
tng tban other laborers."

Hypnollam and HvnlUlrjr.
For a quarter of a century I have
been hoping that the prineinlea of
hypnotism as now devclojic! might
be applied so as to bring relief to pa
tients durwgdental operations. It is
with pleasure that I am able today to
report a pronounced success in that di-
rectum- a success that I believe will
continue, and the methods will be so
formulated that the art will be with
in the reach of every intelligent op
erator on tlio human teeth. I found
thut it was the opinion of writers on
hypnotism that jmin would always
wake a patiwit from the hypnotic
sleep unless such patient was In a
somnambulistic condition. I felt it
might be quite possible to derive dis
tinct benefit in the lighter stain if
they could lie kept continuous. I
soon belle vel it possible, und after a
uillgvut study of Bornhchn I com
monoed to hypnotic, and my first
effort proved a success. -Thomas

and as a result the man who smokes
