Forest Wonders.

A correspondent of the New YorL
World, writing from Ciudad Bolivar,
Venezuela, thus speaks of the forest
wonders Of that country:
SIT is land of vegetable wonders,
Astounding in vast forests of gigantic
trees, embraced by magnificent parasites.
All the cultivated plants of the tOrrid zone
grow here in profusion. and the COM
mercial vegetable products which Europe
ans first discovered in India are found i'm
unlimited quantities. The tree from
which chocolate is distilled; the cacao,
the canelilla or native cinnamon; the nut
meg. the allspice, and the fragrant pu-
cheri, flourish along the banks of the Grin
OcO and its tributary streams. The tOnka-
bean and the vanilla thrive in all their
glory; likewise the trees that yield caout-
chouc or india-rubber. The most val
liable balsamiferOus substances are indig-
enOus to the region, such as the sassafras
laurel, the wood of which is unapprOach-
able by insects; and the balsam of CO.
paiba of the pharmacopHia, the gums
anime, carana, and elemy, and the leche
para pintar milk for painting), which is
white paint and glossy varnish in one.
Here are trees affording some products
which have been supposed to belong only
to the animal kingdom, so that Il wander
er in the forests of Guayana can. if he
lacks food, nOurish himse with the milk
OF the Dutter-tree or patio dc rdca and the
''cheese" of the papaw tree. He may
make his picnic feast on Brazil-nuts and
stimulate his appetite with the juice of the
Angostura bark-which cured the gallant
Baron Humboldt of a maariOus fever.
One cannot starve in Guayana, since, if
vegetable nutriment should fail, the forest
alleys furnish forth animal banquets, at
the trifling expense of a riile-shOt, and it
is next to impossible to go amiss along the
streams. TurtlesAs large as wash-tubs
and the most delicious fish OF strange
forms populate the waters; and for an
sportsman sea-cows appear
as ponderous and bulky as the horny
quadrupeds pasturing with them on the
ofrivers and marshes. Nay.
there are crOcodiles and anacondas in
these same marshes, and the upland prai-
ries and savannas are alive with game of
every description

Lawyers at Base Ball.

In Davenport last spring certain officials
and divers lawyers organized base ball
club for the purpose of occasional ply steal
exercise and manly recreation. Twice 4
week the clubs mines had their contests
near Farnam's Grove. seeming to enjoy
the game splendidly. The other after
noon they met to play the closing game of
the season and wind up with high old
time. They realized the latter feature of
their intentions splendidly. From begin
ming to end the game was a chapter of ac-
cidents. In the first place, Il horse and
buggy were standing near the grounds,
and a patron of the club was seated i'm the
vehicle watching the game, when n ball
came bum against the animals nose.
Frightened badly, the horse took to his
heels, the players ran after him. and he
was caught after he had banged the buggy
against trees until it was Il mere wreck.
Returning to the grounds. the catcher east
the ball in the air. and it came down plump
on the head of 4 lawyer, and laid him out
instanter. These regulation balls are
hard as rock. and when one lights on Il
fellows Uranium it hurts. Then. no sooner
had the game been renewed than another
lawyer had ono of his deXters knocked
out of gear entirely in an attempt to short
stop ball. He just put for down town
and Il surgeon rs fast as his nimble feet
and the path of his hand would consent To
go. Not minute after this a siN-ioot,
muscular chap battcd a ball with trcmcu-
douS force. and one of the most active men
of the nine caught it on his nose and cheek
and went down. The blood spurted from
his proboscis and his check became swol-
en- feartully rs he lay on the grass, while

The PrObaScO Fountain.

City corporations will grow richer
rather than poorer when they provide free
ice-water for the public fountains, and re-
concile themselves to some loss in liquor
sellers licenses. On one of the hot days
of August period of twenty-four hours
following O'Clock A. NJ. of August 1O-no
less than 1902 persons drank of ice-water
at Mr.. Professors fountain in Cincinnati,
and III buckets and pitchers were filled
from it. The continual persuasion of a
a temperance lecturer like this fountain is
an incalculable benefit to the cause of
temperance. Mr.. Probasco paid for it
$4,000. and the councils expended fur
ther sum of $4,000 for the esplanade in
which it stands and for the subterranean
ice-chamber, where the water is chilled
in coil of two thousand feet of pipe
within a cellar of ice ten feet square. 1t is
not necessary to sulk over the fact that
this splendid fountain is the work of for
eign art, put up by a member of the Mum
ich bronZe-casting house, who came to
this country for the purpose. Something,
however, might be said in favor of having
spent the money among American sculp-
tors, even at the risk of getting one of our
frank native abOrtiOnS. AS Mr.. PrObaScO
presents it as Il work of art, it may be
humbly asked, ''What is the lesson OF art
it is meant to teach?' Much praise has
been lavished on the CincinnatianS by ed
the idea of a fountain decorated with Nep-
lures, Nereids, Egerias and their prOIin-
cial contempt for the classics has resulted
in the manufacture of bran-new my
thOlogy. Instead of the fair humaEities
of old religion, the water is dispensed by
4 ady-nondescript, who spOuts little Jets
out of n riddle fOrmedin each finger. The
figures We're ordered in a spirit
of absolute realism the reward of which
restriction is that they are completely To-
in fact. A distinctly Ger
man farmer, distinctly German fireman,
a sick German nursed by girl who rep
resents the artists daughter, and a Ger
man bather, conceived in the sentiment of
Kaulbach. are brought together in Cincin-
natl to hold up their hands i'm supplication
for water from the Mount Auburn reser-
voir. This slight incongruity is fastened
upon the Cincinnatians that they may
be confirmed in their honest B9otian
scOrn of the antique, and that they may
learn the habits and dress of
the Bavarian peasantry. 1t would be most
unfair TO disparage tine intrinsic merits of
this splendid monument, which is a mas
tcrpiecc of German taste. The designer
is Prof. Won kreling, of the Nuremberg
A Academy, and the drawings for it have
been in his portfolio. waiting for some
grand opportunity, since 1910. Ii is forty

HySteria.

DR.. Samuel Wilkers, an eminent physi-
clan, writes strongly against both doctors
and medicine for hysteria. He says: 1T
sometimes surprises me that medical men
declare their utter helplessness while
standing by the bedside of the hysterical
patient. They will confess that all means
have been tried in vain. that there is no
real disease to cure. that it is an imagina-
ry or nervous disorder, and nothing can
be done. when it is their Own presence in
the ease which constitutes the very root
and foundation of the malady. Let us
take the ease of girl who goes TO her
bed with an ideal paralysis of the legs, or
some similar disorder. She sinks into a
morbid state, and puts on a second nature /;
she becomes the center of a world of her
own creating; she is the interesting inva-
lid; she receives the sympathies of inquir-
ing friends, the care of nurses, the cOnsO-
lation of the clergymen, and, above all,
the daily visit of the medical practitioner,
who prescribes appropriate physic. This
game Now and then the physician is
called in, who gives his opinion that Il
great deal OF the malady is due to hyste-
ria, orders some iron and quinine, and per-
haps galvanism, and so the play goes on.
The medical man declares that he has
tried every means, and failed. Does he
not see that the whole affair is drama OF
TIE OWL anu size TIC
central figure of the piece? She is to be
ill, she is to have her doctor, and enjoy,
in her morbid way, all the interesting
surroundings of the invalid. Docs he
not see that to cure her, he must
break into the charmed circle and, to
spoil the play, he must get rid of some of
the performers? And does he not see
that even if he has no influence over 9th
ers, he might Withdraw himself? Here is
young lady, who says: Il will be ill,
and have doctor to attend me- How
can she accomplish this if the latter de-
clines to obey her behests? or if he ac-
cepts the post, how can he, in the name of
common sense, say he cannot break her
of her fancy while he is party to it? If
he sees clearly the truth of what | have
been saying. his duty is, rs a professional
adviser to the family of the patient, to re-
tire and use his influence to preventative
calling in of another medical man. have
myself seen. in several instances, where
such advice has been given. and the par
cnts have said to their child: we will
have no more DOCTORS that recovery has
at once ensucd. In one OF the worst
cas- : of hysteria | ever saw, where a
Dung lady had been bed ridden for three
years, and during this time must have
swallowed hogsheads of physic. and her
body covered with lecches and blisters
without number, besides being well
rubbed with tartar emetic ointment, the

medical attendant suddenly died, when
the father declared that his daughter was
running him, and that he would have no
more doctors. From that time she began
to recover, and may now be seen walking
about quite well. OF course, If the medi-
cal man be wise and judicinus, he may
adopt various plans to break up the
scheme of the young lady who has become
the presiding genius, not only in the
household, but in the whole family circle
for miles around. My complaint is
against the acts of a medical man who
pays daily visit to his patient, sends her
physic to be taken every four hours, be-
sides sleeping draughts, prescribes a
very particular regimen, consisting of all
kinds of delicacies, commencing with rum
and milk in the morning, and then says he
cannot cure her of an imaginary COM
plant. "-Herald of Health for October.

A HYPOCHONDRIAC editor of a London
paper has just made the melancholy dis
covery that croquet is most dangerous
and unhealthy game. He states that it
gives to tina unfortunate crOquet-player a
curved spine, a disproportionately large
right arm, and an equally ill-arran"ed left
leg, with painful buniOns and permanent
lameness, and he finally perishes miserably
from consumption, induced by The un-
