A Jamaica Trick.

There was large crowd Of excursionists in
the depot at Savannah. There was pale
faced, slim waisted young man, weighing
about l0J pounds who paid colored man
quarter to get some baggage checked
The man didn't appreciate the situation,
and took his time for 1t. Indeed, the Young
man hunted him up to discover that he was
gossipng with some Of his color, and that
the baggage was all uncared for. He spoke
his mind pretty freely and was promptly
''sassed in return All of sudden the
bury coiored man drew razor from his
pocket and stared for the lightweight with
the remark that he'd make bloody carpet
rags OF him.
1t would have been good time for the
Young man to pull revolver, but he made
no motion. In such crowd no one knew
exactly what was happening, and so the
rush OF the negro was not stayed. He took
two skips and jump, the razor in his right
hand, and as he landed in front of the Young
man the keen-edged weapon made a sweep
for the white throat. Next instant it was
flying among the rafters of the building. and
the would-be murderer was caressng his ell
bow and bowling with pam. As he whired
around he got couple Of "iifters" which
shot him out of the circle, and the young
man went TO see about his baggage.
"What did you do ?" asked him after
we were off.
'.Kcked the elbow of his razor arm," he
answered.
ais it trick ?"
"Well. it took me year to learn it,"
"Where ?''
"Iu Jamaica 1t will be six months before
he can raise that hand to his collar button.
You ought to learn it. 1t saves carrying a
revolver, is handler than knife. and you
don't bang your knuckles up knocking folks
down.

Mental Oddities of Great People,


The lowest grade of mental disturbance
is seen in that temporary appearance of IT.
nationality which comes from an extreme
state OF abstraction or absence of mind
To the vulgar, as already hinted, all intense
preoccupation with ideas, by calling off the
attention from outer things aud giving a
dream-like appearance TO the mental state
is apt TO appear symplomatic of 'queerness'
in the head But in order that it may find
its place among distinctly abnormal features
this absence Of mind must attain certain
depth aud persistence. The ancient story OF
Archimedes, and the amusing anecdotes OF
Newton's fits. If authentic, might be said
perhaps to illustrate the border-Iine between
a normal aud abnormal condition Of mind.
y more distinctly pathological case is that
of Beethoven, who could not be made to
understand why his standing in his night
attire at an open window should attract
the lrreyerent notice of the street boys.
For IN this case We have a temporary
incapacltv to perceive exterior objects and
their relations; and deeper incapacity OF
like nature clearly shows itself in poor
Johnsons standing before the town clock
valny trying TO make out the hour.
This same alootness of mind from the
external world betrays itself in many OF
the eccentric habits attributed to men and
women Of genius. Here, again, johnson
serves as good instance. His inconven-
lent habit of suddenly breaking out with
scraps of the Lords Prayer in fashionable
assembly marks a distinctly dangerous drift
ing away Of the inner life from the firm an
chorage of ex.erna! fact
In the cases just considered We have to
do with a kind Of mental blindness to outer
circumstances. 4 further advance along
the line OF intellectual degeneration is seen
in the persistence Of vivid IDEAS, commonly
anticipations of evil of some kind which
have no basis in external reality. Johnson
dislike 70 particular alleys IN his London
walks, and Madame de Stpl's iizuyre idea
that she would suffer from cold when buried
may be taken as examples Of those painful
de.usions or ,dsss hJss. A more serious
stage Of such de!u,iuns is seen in the case
Of Pascal. who is said to have been haunt
cd by the fear Of a gulf ,awnng Just in
trout Of him. which sometimes became So
osermasterng that he had to be fastened
by chain 70 keep him from ,eap.ng for
ward.
