insanity with consciousness.

In a discussion at one Of the congress
es held in Paris on mental diseases DR..
Fabret, distinguished alienist, re-
marked upon the undoubted existence
of certain forms of mental alienation IN
which patients perfectly recognize the
anomalous nature of the phenomena
which they experience, but without be
ing able to disembarrass themselves
from them. DR.. Fabret dwelt on these
intellectual obsessions as being emotive
or instructive, or veritable morbid i'm
pulsions, dominating the will, citing
among other examples the obstinate
search for words, the fear Of knife, of
a window, the terror of open or closed
spaces, the necessity for repeating GER
tain words or certain phrases, etc.
These are ordinarily hereditary, peri
odical or remittent, and are accompanied
by anguish and sort of interior strug.
gle, but never presenting hallucinations
and never ending in dementia The in
sanity of doubt is the most common ex
preston of this psychical state, the pa
tients continually ruminating in theil
minds over the same ideas and the same
acts, questioning themselves on every
thing, and having senseless scruples il
regard to everything. If the patient il
a physician he doubts the prescription
that he has just written, and frequently
sends to bring them back in the fear o
having committed some error. Another

A virrinIa airl,s ProIect.

Miss Sallie Holley, Virginia girl, has
undertaken the education of the colored
girls of her state. The work is purely
philanthropic. Miss Holley has sent let.
ters to nearly all the womens clubs In
Union asking for cash contribution OF
a years service from member as teacher
in the south Her method is the estab.
lishment of small schools throughout the
state, where the colored girl can learn
enough III a couple Of years to make hel
way in the world. Instead of the tom.
foolery with which the graded course
of public school training is padded
Miss Holley aims to teach the children
how to read, write and make accurate
change in one year. The fundamentals
of arithmetic will be mastered according
to the quickest methods and without
taxing the child with single rule. The
newspaper is the preferred book, from
which it is thought sufficient geography,
spelling, history and the arts can be OBJ
tanned, and together with this mental
training the colored girls will receive
practical lessons in industrial work by
darning their own stockings, mending
the holes in their dresses, retTimming
their hats, altering old and making new
garments and cooking as many meals as
1t is possible to provide. Miss Holley
has undertaken a most important mis-
sion and stands good chance of making
her name famous.-Exchange.

A Delicious Drink.

George Parsons Lathrop tells of a de.
hcious summer drink which may seem
new to many people, but is really more
of a revival Of something In vogue sever.
al years ago. 1t is the sauterne cup, and
is as satisfying to the thirst as milk and
water OF oatmeal water, and withal
more epicurian. You take equal parts
of Sauterne and Apollinaris water, and
put them in a clear crystal pitcher,
sweetening with three Jumps of sugar to
quart, and adding a slice or two OF
pineapple and long pairing of cucum.
Der rind. Let this filled pitcher stand
for few minutes in vessel of ice, OF
wrap around the pitcher a towel Of
cracked ice and salt Under no circum.
stances put ice in the drink, for thai
would injure the fine flavor. Just be
fore the cup is served throw some bits Of
mint upon the top.

Gould Have Saved Lincoinia Life.
The one man in the world who could
have prevented the assassination of
President Lincoln is dead. John Fred
erick Parker, born In Winchester, Va,
came to Washington some time before
the firing upon Fort Sumter, and soon
found employment upon the metropoh-
tan police force. When, in 1852, it was
decided to strengthen the regular force
Of doorkeepers and watchmen at the
White House with a squad of policemen
Parker was one Of those selected. It
thus happened that when President Lin
doln and party entered the old Ford the
atre on the night Of Good Friday, 1885,
they were accompanied by Parker as
guard. He took his position at the door
to the private box from which President
Lincoln watched the performance, where
he was expected to remain and prevent
the entrance of every one except the
members Of the party.
AS the play proceeded Parker, from
his post, could hear just enough Of what
was said on the stage to arouse his curl
osity, and it was not long before he left
the door and edged his way toward the
auditorium. He finally took seat in
the orchestra or pit" as it was then
called, where he had scarcely settled
himself when the whole audience was
surprised by the report Of pistol shot.
The assassin, Booth, had stealthily ap-
preached the door Of the presidents pri-
vate box, where, finding no one to chal-
lenge him, he entered ypannounced and
fired the fatal shot. There is no ques.
ton in the minds of those who are ia
niliar with the details that had Parker
remained at his post Booth could never
have taken President Lincoln unawares.

Renting out play" said a well
known comedian, sis just now largely In
vogue with native authors who have
made a reputation and those speculators
who purchase the American rights of
foreign successes. In point of financial
returns il is about the same as selling a
drama on royalty, but the great advan-
tage in renting out Is that the author re-
tains the ownership Of his production,
and can always control 1t, whereas In a
sale on royalty the property right passes
entirely out Of his hands.
SHOULD The royalty not be paid of
course the author has his legal remedy
but if his play be simply rented out all he
has to dois TO go and take possession OF Il

iety. to say nothing Of avoiding the laws

1t has been shown by M. Esmarch that
disease microbes do not long survive in
corpses, and that as a general rule the
more rapidly decomposition takes place
the more quickly win the organisms
perish. Experiments were made with
nine different kinds of microbes, CON
tanned in the bodies of animals under
the various conditions of burial in the
ground, keeping under water and expos
hre to air. The bacillus of fowl cholera
was seldom found after three weeks,
though that of sepdoemia survived
ninety days. while that Of consumption
