He agrees with all that is said to him,
and is easily managed. He is apt to fall
down in walking. He picks up and
stuffs into his pockets all the stuff he
can lay his hands upon. There is no
vigor in anything he does. He talks to
himself in bed at night in an automatic
way. He has his delusions, but he only
speaks about them in a siily-way when
he is asked. He sometimes barks
and growls when he is alone.
The first two stages last from
two to four years, and then
comes the third and last. The stages
shade into each other with infinite
graduation. In the last stage the mans
whole being has been described as that
of a "happy lethargy." He is SO paral-
.yzed that he cannot walk or stand stead
lily, and finally lies like wood upon his
bed. He cannot feed himself, and he
cannot eat anything but liquid or
minced food, for he bolts his food
whole. He is wonderfully greedy for
his food. He cannot utter an intelli-
gent sound. He will finally become so
paralyZed that voluntary motion of any
kind will cease in him, and he will die
of physical exhaustion.

New York Sun.
With the single exception of leprosy,
perhapsthe most terrible disease known
to modern medical science is that which
has passed into common speech under
the name paresis. 1t is even doubtful
if there ought to be any exception made.
Leprosy is hideous thing, known
mostly in books, existing, until recently
at least, in scattered and comparatively
remote parts of the earth. Paresis is
now the characteristic disease of ad-
vanced civilization, and has found its
most favored home in the hurry and
worry and toll and hustle of Ameri-
can lite. 1t is disease which is inter-
esting and appalling almost beyond
measure. 1t is decay of mind and
body which is exceedingly slow and
gradual, but absolutely certain and IN
finitely horrible. No man or woman
whom it ever attacked ever recovered.
Its victims are always in middle life, in
apparently the full flush of health and
vigor. In fact, for long time in its
first stages the characteristics of
the disease is the unusual physi-
cal health of the victim. The
friends of the paretic are gen
orally utterly unable to see, with the
physician, that the man is, indeed, in
sane. But the disease. once evincing
itself, all hope of its favorable termina-
ton mist be abandoned. In little
while the victim shows his hallucina-
lions. He thinks himself the possessor
of unbounded wealth and has schemes
for making millions of money. Then
he becomes gibbering idiot, making
faces at himself against wall. Then
the nerves utterly succumb. The man
lies upon his bed with vacant eyes,
his consciousness snuffed out, his whole
body like a log of wood or lump of
clay. At last he dies, worn to death by
physical exhaustion. The common no
ton that this horrible thing is invaria-
bly, due to sexual indulgence is not true.
The great cause is worry, overwork,
undue excitement of any kind in men
whose brains have not been disciplined
to mental strain. In the history of
the disease few college graduates have
been numbered pareticS. And. gener-
ally speakingt paresis has attacked but
few men whose minds in their youth
were educated or trained.
An impression has prevailed that this
form of insanity is largely confined to
members of the theatrical profession.
This is far from being the truth, though
it is the fact that the peculiar nature of
an actors life exposes him at once to
the disease as other professional men
are not exposed. The main cause of the
disease must be borne IN mind-excite-
ment and overWork in men whose minds
have not been subjected to early disci-
pine.
Erroneous popular impressions con-
corning form Of insanity which is so
frequent and so much talked of are, it
seems. numerous. The idea that the
disease is due principally to excess is
one. Again the disease is not to be con-

Capt. Paden, the "Sans Souci"
Ghost.

On Third street, this city, years ago,
there was fashionable gambling house
called the Sans SOuci," which was the
scene of many bewildering mysteries.
The game was distanced more than
$1,000 one night by all old stea mboat
captain named Paden, and in brawl
specially got up for his taking oil, !"
he was murdered.
Upon the stairs leading to the gam
bling room, negro waiter, about a
week after the murder. was struck
dumb by meeting this same captain.
He was "chinking" handful of gold,
and pressed eagerly forward as if in
haste to again tempt the demon of
chance. The negro fed and never could
be induced to return to the house. Not
long thereafter sanother fight occurred
at the ''Sans Souci," in which pistols
and knives were freely used;
At the height of the ind
Paden appeared brandishing an i'm
menSe bowie, with which he menaeed
the fighters. The room was vacated sans
ceremOnie. One night be was diScov-
cred at the faro table, as If intent on the
game, but the game was Immediately
adjourned without day. Pm old Cap
Paden, hal ha! ha'' was frequently
shrieked through the house by the in
visible owner of very sharp voice, and
it was not long before the ''Sans Souci''
lost all its customers, and very deServ-
edly the proprietor ''went to the dogs"

you half as much. We've given you the most ex-
