STRANGE AND FATAL HAn1Uc1NAT1oN.
A resident of York County, Pa, who
was the possessor of competency suffi-
cient to support himself and family dur
ing taeir natural lives, became possessed
of the idea that they were all coming
to want and would die of starvation.
This hallucination took such firm hold
upon his mind that no persuasions on
the part Of his friends were sufficient to
divest him of it. Day after day it grew
stronger for years. His greatest anxiety
seemed to be for his family, and he de.
termined. in order to save them. he
would be compelled to starve himself.
This he carried into execution, and re-
gently became victim of this all-absorb.
ing and fatal illusion of his life, and
death occurred from actual starvation,
voluntarily and persistently imposed
upon himself. For several DAYS he re.
fused all sustenance, and although eff.
forts were made to force food into hie
mouth, his strength commenced to de.
cline, and soon after he died in starv.
ing condition. His dying words q few
minutes before his death were, "I knew
Iwould starve."

VoN Mo1TKE's REPORT. The first vo.
lume Of the report of Gen. Won Moltke
on the Prussiau plan of campaign in the
recent war with France has just been
published. It shows what we all knew
before, that Prussia was fully prepared
for the contest. It tells us, however,
more than this. 1t exhibits to us some
of the secret and efficient equipment,
the thoroughly studied and skillfully
laid plans. the Typographical knowledge
of the French border, and the complete
information acquired of the capacity of
the railroads of France, the state of her
army, and its places Of projected con-
centration. The whole scheme of the
war was worked out in Won Moltke's
closet, with the accuracy of mathema-
tical problem. On the side of Prussia
all was, from the beginning. clear, plain
and known; on the side of France all
was confusion, which, after the first
onset, became ''worse confounded, u
darkness and official blindness. It is to
be hoped that Gen. Won Moltke, now an
old man, may live to finish his history
of this wonderful campaign. No other
hand but that of the man who 80 ably
planned it could adequately describe it.

REMEDY FOR PAINFUL WOUNDS.
The Country Gentleman says
Take a pan or shovel with burn
ing Goals and sprinkle upon them
common brown sugar, and hold
the wounded part in the smoke.
In a few minutes the pain will be
allayed and recovery will proceed
rapidly In my own case a rusty
nail had made bad wound in my
foot. The pain and nervous irri-
tation was severe. This was all
removed by holding it in the
smoke; in fifteen minutes washable
to resume my reading in comfort.
We have often recommended it to
others with like results. Last
week one of my men had a finger
nail torn out by pal" of ice tongs.
1t became very painful as was to
have been expected. Held in SUI
gar smoke for twenty minutes.
the pain ceased, and it promises
speedy recovery.
