The Nature of Hysteria.

The basis of the hysterical state is ex-
planned by German medical writer to be
an irritable weakness, so that the inilu-
encc of external and internal stimuli is
increased and made easier Certain
functions, such as crying, laughing or
blushing, are in most persons purely
under the control of the emotions. In
hysteria, however, the physiological re-
sistance is So reduced that slight emo
tions of this sort produce maximum
effects. Reflex excltabillty is also IN
creased, minimum stimuli causing maxi
mum inflcxes. Hysterical paralysis is
emotional or reflex in its nature. As
the centres are more easily excited they
are also exhausted more easily.
The historical paralysis is true pa
ralysis in that there is an interruption of
conduction somewhere between the seat
of the will and the motor centres, so that
the patient is not able to bring the para
lyzed part under the power of the will.
In case of hysterical aphonial, while
the patient was unable to talk, she could
sing or give a cry of pain. In the first
case the emotion of singing was enough
to overcome the obstacle to will conduc-
ton; in the second the cry wcs reflex.
Hysterical anesthesia is due to an inhi-
bition of the perceptive ccnters them
selves, so that ordinary stimuli are not
perceived. - Brooklyn Citizen.

Mexicans and Postage.

]. N. Bennett, of Texas, representing
Chicago firm in that State was at the
Sherman house yesterday. "The Mexi-
cans on the border, said he, "have an in
genious plan for cheating their govern
ment out of postage. In Mexico the
rates are high. For instance, it costs
ten cents to send a letter from any of the
river towns to the city of Mexico, or
provinces south of here, and five cents to
nearer points. The greasers are not at
all lacking in trickery. Instead of paying
the high rates of their own government,
they simply paddle across the river, buy
Il two-cent American stamp and mail
their letters to any point in Mexico they
please. They take a dollars worth of
trouble to save few cents; but then the
government is cheated, and there is some
satisfaction in that The officials have
tried to stop the business, but let me tell
you, they couldn't do it. For genuine
skin-gamc tricks, the ordinary greaser
lays over any class of people ever met"

There is well-groundcd popular be-
lief that our tortoise lives to vast age,
and numerous cases of turtles bearing
dates over century old have been cited.
There was, until 1886, in the neighbor-
hood of the writer's home in New Jersey,
an old tortoise which had been marked
by Mr.. Cyrus Durand, the inventor Of the
geometric lathe. 1t bore the inscription.
&C. d., 1886" clearly cut with graver
on its under shell. AS the tortoise had
been observed from year to year since the
time of its marking by the most trust.
worthy witnesses, there can be no doubt
that the date was genuine. This tor
toise has not been seen since 1886, so it
has probal lly died. Another, which has
been observed for the past nine years,
was marked with the inscription &c. b.,
1S49.n AS the letters and dates were so
much worn as to be but family discerni-
Bile, they were doubtless reliable. This
old animal was found for the last time,
dead, in the summer of 1889. Another
bearing the date 1851, is still alive. AS
suming that the tortoises were full
grown, or about twenty years old when
Marked we are safe in stating the period
of their lives as from sixty to seventy
years. No doubt some individuals may
reach n century or over. Unfortunately
for science, it ia a common sport for the
country urchin to engrave tortoises with
dates varying from forty or fifty years
before the artist'sbirth This, however,
can almost always be detected, for the
inscription becomes very faint after thirty
years of rubbing over the ground. -

A Female Cornet Band.

Lake Maitland, in Orange county, Fla,
claims to have the only complete female
cornet band in the South, and although
it is purely social organization, COM
posed of the most beautiful and accom-
plishcd young ladies OF that delightful
winter resort, the playing of the young
ladies is of the highest merit. There
are thirteen young ladies and two gen
tlemen in the band. Ben. J. Taliaferro,
an Atlanta musician of great versatility,
is the leader, and Jcrc. Townsend, alsoa
Georgian, plays the tuba. Miss Bess
Hingerford on the cornct, and Miss Belle
Simmons on the baritone, handle their
instruments like old bandmen while
playing. II Atlanta (Ga.) Journal.

FOURTH OF JULY FESTIVITIES.

Funds Forthcoming-A Great Drill
Competition-war Vessel Coming.
At the meeting of the executive committee on
arrangements for the Fourth OF July celebration
last night at the Chamber of Commerce, ]. II.
McGraw reported for the committee on finance
that as far as the committee has canvassed the
outlook for raising funds is good, as everybody
is giving something. He thought that by Thurs
day evening the committee would be able to re-
port just about how much could be raised. ID.
A. Spencer, Charles Parker and George Hall
were appointed members OF the committee IN
place OF some members who could not serve.
+. J. Barnard reported for the committee on
music that the First Regiment band would not
turn out for less than $40 per man Tor the day or
SIS for the day and evening Some discussion
followed, most of the members thinking this
rate was little exorbitant No definite action
was taken. DR.. Whyte friedrich was added to
the committee on music.
The committee on advertising reported that IL
would take about 81 900 to do the necessary ad-
vertising; that il was intended to take a column
of space in each OF the three daily papers in the
city for five issues and two issues OF their week
lies. and that an advertisement would be in
serted in number of papers throughout the
state, and in addition TO this it was proposed to
have lot OF large posters pr inted and sent out
TO all the towns on the Sound and the principal
cities in the state.
The committee on invitations reported that no
orator had been selected as yet as the committee
had been disappointed in one or two instances;
that the officers of the regular army at Van
couver would be invited and that government
vessel from San Francisco would probably be in
the Sound about that time and an invitation
would be extended the officers to participate in
the celebration.
1t was decided to have the speaking take place
on the University grounds and utilize the plat
form still there since the presidential reception,
for the purpose.
Captain E. S. Ingrabam, of Company E, of the
state militia, stationed at Seattle, stated that
Lieutenant Colonel Green, in sending notice of
the competitive drill to the different companies
in the state, stated that it required twenty four
men in a company to enter for the drill Mr..
Ingraham said majority of the companies
would be shut out they cannot muster more
than sixteen men. 1t was decided to allow any
company to enter with not less than sixteen
privates.
1t was decided not to carry the celebration
over into the 5th, az that issSunday, but to con-
fine il to Friday and Saturday.
The committee adjourned to meet again to-
morrow evening.
II is understood that not less than ten or
twelve companies of militia will enter the com
petitive drill, though only two or three of them
will be able to muster more than sixteen pri-
Yates.

An Immigrants Bad Luck on His Road
to Seattle.


dependent looking man, accompanied by
a still more respondent appearing woman with
four small children, all huddled together on the
steps of the First Methodist Episcopal church at
the corner of Third and Marion streets, yester-
day morning, attracted the attention of Officer
Glasscock, who demanded of them their bust
ness The man said his name was Z. F. Taylor
and that he had just arrived from Durham,
North Carolina. He told pitiful tale of mis-
fortune and of sickness, followed by robbery.
He claimed that he left New Orleans for
Portland, Or, with a through ticket,
Seattle being his prospective destination.
At San Antonio, Tex, the train stop
ped for two hours. When the train arrived
Taylor got off the train with big basket in
tending to get it filed with lunches. Seeing an
eating house in the distance he started across a
dark, vacant lot, when someone sandbagged
him from behind When he came to he was
bleeding, and wallet in which was $3.50 in
money and his baggage checks was missing
He got back to the train and kind passengers
helped them out until Portland was reached,
when charitable people assisted them to come
on to Seattle. They arrived on the train yester-
day morning.
The policeman took the family to police head
quarters and the chief allowed them temporary
shelter in the half-fnished receiving hospital
next door. The man says he is a carpenter by
trade. but will work at anything he can get to
do. His family is evidently suffering for the
lack OF the necessaries of life

where she effects the escape of Jack Hearne she

excellent bit of pathos intermingled with COM

eice, many OF the best scenes of the play not re
celvi0g the attention that their surface merit
alone would seem TO have demanded Mr.. Nor
rlson did, however, receive several curtain calls
and II may be said, by way of emphasis. they
were thoroughly well earned.
"faUst, as put upon the stage hy Mr. Mor-i

BOARD OF TRADE BULLETINS.
Executive Committee Takes Action Re-
garding Their Publication.

kafOfnS lhffr Publication.
The regular monthly meeting OF the executive
committee of the Washington State Board of
Trade was held at the Chamber OF Commerce
building yesterday afternoon. Future issues of
bulletins were discussed. The next bulletin
will be issued this week and will deal with the
coal measures of the state of Washington. This
will be followed by two next week, one on the
fisheries and the other on the maritime adj
vantages OF the state, the last named being cal
culated to show why the shipping centers of the
state must eventually control the commerce of
the Pacific.
Judging from the present demand for the pub
locations of the board, it is feared by the mem
bers of the committee that the income of the
board will be insufficient to permit the printing
of as large editions as can be judiciousy dis
tributed. A resolution was carried petitioning
the editors of Seattle newspapers and through
out the state to pass judgment on the merits of
each bulletin as it appears, condemning any
thing unworthy according to the stated objects
of the board, suggesting improvements, and
commencing what is worthy of praise. 1t was
thought such course would result in increased
interest in the work of the board and lead to an
increase in membership, which would yield a
larger revenue. This would permit the publica-
ton of the complete pamphlet as contemplated
after the first series of bulletins shall have been
issued, in such number and in such shape as to
supply the utmost demand.
