Mental Cures Of Physical Disease.

The American young lady who be-
lieved that she had got q bristle of her
toothbrush fixed in her throat got
worse and worse, though there was no
bristle there, till she was persuaded bv
her DOCTORS rinse that he had extracted
it, after which she recovered as rapidly.
On the other hand there are very well
ettested cases.. though none is quoted
by this writer, in which mere fright,
directed to the expected suffering of q
diseased part, has caused powerful
but salutary revolution in the condition
of the diseased organ. DR.: Carpenter
If we mistake not-in his Mental
Physiology" gives case of the COM
plete absorption of some very danger
GUS tumor ina very few hours, under
the in1ue noe Of slnere terror at the
prospeot ofs4h& pafn a theESurgical
operation-it was before the DAYS of
cbloroform-which- had been deter
mined ON to remove it. Here was a
case where attention-and attention of
no hopeful kind-produced the very
opposite effect to that which, in the
American young lady's case, attention
of the Respondent Kind had produced
the very same effect, indeed, which q
remission Of attention, when accompa-
MED by the hope of cure, had in that
case produced. -Lo,sdos Spectator.

EVEN while he was speaking his face

EVEN while he was speaking his face
turned CHASTITY pale, his lips were coy
cred with q fine white foam, he made
one orsStwo cohvulsive attempts to
steady himself, then with q wild, ter
ritied look around, he fell heavily to
the floor.
It was q paralytic seizure. They
took him upstairs and tended him; but
the case was desperate from the first.
Only just before the end did he so far
recover the power of speech as to be
able to make full confession of what
had occurred. ... ..e
Sir Lewis had been younger son;
the eldest hadinherited the family title,
but died early, leaving his widow to
give him . posthumous heir, the title
remaining in allegiance until time
showed whether the infant was q boy
or girl. It proved to be q boy, where
upon Lewis Mallaby, who had the ear
lest intimation of the fact, put into
execution nefarious project Which he
had carefully concocted in advance. A
girl was obtained from founding hos
pital and substituted by Lady MALTA
by's nurse, who was in Lewis pay,
for the newly born son and heir.
This son and heir was handed
over to another accomplish, Hes
ter Gorrigan, who was bribed with
E1OO, half down in the shape of half
note, the other half to be paid when
she announced her safe arrival in Texas
with the stolen child. Mrs. Gorrigan
had an unquenchable thirst, and in her
transit between London and Liverpool
allowed her precious charge to slip out
of her hands, with the consequences we
know.
1t was the watch borrowed from Sir
Lewis Mallaby which first aroused
Jacks suspicious. 1t bore the motto,
81 strike (which was marked upon
the linen of the child that Dan Blockit
picked up at Huntington station. The
initial of the name Mallaby conceded
with the monogram H. L. M. Jack
rapidly drew his conclusions, and made
a bold shot, which hit the mark as we
have seen.
Lewis Mallaby's confession soon re-
instated the rightful heir, and Dan
Blockit in after years had no reason to
regret the generosity which had
prompted him to give the little found
ling the shelter Of his rude home

Hcw Watches are Mada.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper

only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, aud supply the necessary
solidity and strength The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS

overcome, and the SAME soLIDITY AND

one-haf of the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature.
as follows:-A plate of composition metal.
specially adapted to the purpose. has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is g
strip OF heavily plated composition from
which the cases, backs, centres, bezels

and formers. The gold in these cases i,
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds o
