MENTAL coNTAGloN.
Why Error and Deception, Like Truth,
Flourish in Crowds.

Why Error and Deception, Like Truth,
Flourish In Crowds.
Error, like truth, hourishes in crowds,
writes Prof. Joseph Jastrow, in the PoE~
t4iar Science Monthly. at the hearth ofsym-
patty each finds home. The fauatical
lead, the sane follow. When a person OF
nervous temperament, not strongly indie
pendent in thought and action, enters a
spiritualistic circle, when he is constantly
surrounded by confident believers, all eager
to have him share their sacred visions and
profound revelations, where the atmosphere
is rep!ete with miracles and every chair and
table may ut any instant be transformed
into a proof Of the supernatural, is it
strange that he soon becomes one of them?-
hesitatin gly at first and perhaps yet restor-
able to his former modes OF thought by the
fresh air Of another and more steadfast
mental intercourse but more and more GER
tairly and ardently convinced the longer he
breathes the seancc atmosphere. No form
of contagion is so insidious in it's onset, so
difficult to check in its advance, so certain
to leave germs that may at any moment re-
veal their pernicious power, as mental
contagion-the contagion OF fear, of panic,
Of fanaticism, Of lawlessness, Of supersti-
tion. The story OF the witchcraft persecu-
tions, were there no similar records to de-
face the pages OF history, would suffice as {:
standing illustration Of the overwhelming
power of psychic contagjon. To fully illus
trate its Importance in the production OF
deception would require an essay in itself.
It enters at every stage OF the process and
in every type of illusion. It has least ef-
feet when deception is carried on by exter-
nal arrangements, by skillful counterfeits
of logical differences; its power is greatest
where the subjective factor in deception is
greatest, more particularly in such forms
of deception as have been last described.

ED,soN's DoLLPhoNE.
It Can Talk, and Sing, and Sigh, and 10
Remarkably Iutallixanf.

It Can Talk, and Sing, and Sigh, and Il
Remarkably Intelligent.
A talking doll is Thomas A. Edison's latest
Invention. In his laboratory at Oran GO, n
Y, there are numbers Of dolls that speal
quite naturally. "Do|lphones'' is what he
calls them. They are not like the old-fash
| toned kind that say Mamma when pressed
In the diaphragm, but they repeat long
sentences and talk with case. Mr.. Edison
has been working at the invention TWO
years, and only lately completed it. It Is So
constructed that photographic cylinders are
Interchangeable, and new sets CT sentences
may frequently be introduced into the toys
talking machine. THIS is little phono graph
with clock work accompaniment, which Is
placed in the dolls back.
Mr. Edison showed number Of the "dou
phones" to a New York reporter the other
day. Some of them were dressed and ready
| to entertain company; while others, while
they could speak, did so, strange to say,
without the use OF their heads MIR. Edison
picked up one Of the dolls whose golden,
curly hair and pink cheeks were lovely in
their perfection and whose light blue eyes
stared in mild surprise at the reporter, and
winding her up by inserting a, clock key liz
the small OF her back handed her to the re-
porter. He then pressed spring, and the
doll, still looking at the reporter, said in a
plaintive tone:
81 love you, mamma; love you dearly,
| mamma; but I am tired and sleepy now.
Please put NE il my little bed"
The doll continued to stare with the
widest Of wide open eyes at the reporter
while asserting the fact that she was sleepy,
but the distinctress with which she said it
and the guilaless expression of her pretty
face convinced him that she was telling the
truth, SO he laid her gently down % tbs
table near by.
Then Mr.. Edison wound up brunette
doll, with jet black curls and sparkling
brown eyes. This doll started off at e brisk
rate with the following:
TWINKLE, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what You are,
Up above the world SO high,
Like a diamond in the sky
Another doll-baby sang in a sweet, childish
treble "Rock- a-by Baby On the Tree Top'
ali the way through with good expression
and without @ false rota She sang it quite
loudly, COO, Sc that any one could have heard
her across q lnoderate-size6 room. Still an
other sang pretty little German song.

strychnine for Drunkenness.

A Russian physician declares that strych-
n1he has proven to be an infallible cure for
drunkenness when properly administered.
He also asserts that the experience of ply
sicians has shown the cure to be as rapid as
it is certain The effect of the strychnine
solution is to change the craving for drink
into positive aversion. and this change is
effected in day. After a treatment OF
eight or ten days the patient may be dis
charged. The strychnine is administered
by dissolvlng one grain in two hundred
drops of water and injecting five drops OF
the solution every twenty-four hours.

He should have large, full skull with q short
square, deep muzzle. There should be good
depression below the eyes; ears rather smsli,
setting close to the cheeks. Great
msssiveness is desideratum. There
are two varieties Of st. Bernards,
the rough aud smooth coated. The
former should have q long coat, not particularly
fine In texture. lying almost fat to the body.
In the latter the coat should be short and some
what harder in texture. But two coiors are ad-
missible, tawny orange with white markings,
and brindie with white markings. The most
fashionable color at the present is the solid
tawny orange body with white markings, as
follows: Blaze in face, collar, ruffies paws and
tip of tail. Some have a preference for the
brindlc with the same markings The presence
Of dew-claws on the legs is favorably regarded
BY many. Personally am opposed to them
as being Of no possible benefit to the dog 1t 10
almost impossible to find dog with dew-claws
that stands well on his hind legs, the effect
being to throw the back joints in and turn the
feet out.
The mastif comes next I'm popularity to the
st. Bernard and about the same points should
govern his selection. The two recognized
colors are the tawny-lion and brindle The Goa;
should lie close to the body and be slightly
hard in character. He should have a black
mask. small black ears and his face should be
somewhat wrinkled
