TRICKS or THE IMAGINATION.


Strange DelusIons Entertained by Highly
L Nerv0us People.
A writer in a scientific journal gives
the following, respecting tricks Of ex-
cited imaginations: San eminent New
York physician, who was fond Of ex-
perimenting, told friend that he had
compounded some wonderful pills, q
single one of which would cause GER
tsin described symptoms. His friend
volunteered to take one. The symptoms
followed exactly as foretold; but the
pill was afterward noticed in the
tangles of very full beard, not having
been swallowed at all. The doctors
faith in the potency of his pills was
such as to make him think that their
mere proximity to the mouth might
prove to be efficacious. But we by
ISLANDERS attributed the unquestioned
symptoms to the influence Of an excited
Imagination over the physical condi-
lion. A report has gone the rounds to
he effect that a certain lady residing
IN Bridgeport, Conn, in mortal agony
called her physician because she had,
as she supposed, swallowed her false
teeth. She could feel them far down in
her tsih-oat and was actually choking to
death. Eminent doctors consulted and
agreed to resort to tracheotomy, to
which they were about to proceed
when one of them happened to step
on some object under the edge of the,
bed, which, on examination, proved to
be the missing molars. AS soon as they
were exhibited to the patient her con-
WILSON'S ceased and she recovered her
normal condition. Sitting the facts
from the sensational accomplishments,
there remains the delusion as to the
teeth, the calling for medical aid and
the finding of the teeth before the doc
tor arrived on the scene. But, even
thus modified, the case was quite re-
markable. 1t suggests instances of
somewhat the same nature. m Y,

Tho Greatest Travellers.

In point of actual distance covered,
the greatest traveller in the world is
said to be Chief Engineer Sewell, of
the White Star feet, who is well known.
While in charge of the engine depart
ment of the vessels of that line, notably
the Britannia, Mr.. Sewel completed 1872
round trips between Liverpool and
New York, travelling the enormous dis
tance of $751; nautical or 941, 900
standard miles, nearly four times the
distance between the earth and the
moon. This is said to be only about
two-thirds of the total distance trav-
ersed by Mr.. Sewell since he became
sea-going engineer. Chief Engineer
Kitchen, who was in charge of the
Adriatics engines for sixteen years but
who now superintends the Britannic's,
coasts d similar record. He has made
1874 round trips between Liverpool and
New York, and has travelled over 954,-
800 nautical miles, or l,1oO,Oo standard
English miles.

dressed young lady in the clutches of a

from the package desk, and forced back
her money into her hand, and with con-
siderable roughness was hurrying her
to the door. The face of the young
woman was picture. She looked like
an angry queen. Her eyes were half

magnificent teeth showed through the

NV dear sir, she is one of the tricks of

She gets eleven dollars a week. She
came down here disguised as Gus

To Hear n Ely Walk.

If you wish to hear fly walk, you
can do it without the aid of nuga-
phone, provided you can find the fly at
this season of the year, says the New
York Sun. Having made friends with
the fly, spread silk handkerchief over
your ear and induce the insect to crawl
across the handkerchief. AS he APP
proaches your ear you will distinctly
hear harsh, rasping sound, made by
the contact of the Insects feet with the
filamcnts of silk.

INDIA's MINERAL WEALTH.
Many Obstacles in the Way of EnterprIs-
ing Prosp

ing Prosp ectors.
India is still land of undeveloped
mineral wealth. The deposits of iron
and copper ore in certain districts are
enormous, but as many of these districts
are in the possession of semi-iudepen-
dent princes the British government
does not care to arouse the i'll feeling of
these princes by opening their lands to
prospectors. Nevertheless, says the
Chicago News, the government has
managed to bring sufficient pressure to
bear upon them to persuade them to sell
to some commercial companies.
On the line of one of the railroads that
have lately been built in India the en-
gineers, in cutting along the side OF a
mountain, came upon mine OF almost
pure copper. A company Immediately
wanted to get possession of the proper
ty either by purchase or otherwise. But
the prince to whom the property be-
longed was too quick for the specula-
tors. He called his heather priests to
his aid. The union of church and state
proved very serviceable to the prince
upon this occasion. The priests acct
dentally passed by the cutting where
the rich copper vein was discovered and
here had revelation of one of the po-
tent Hindu gods.
OF course, the spot at once became
holy ground and the greedy English
mems bright dreams of millions van
ished into thin air when, a few days
later, they saw temple put up on the
spot and two priests offering incense
before the image of the god that had
revealed himself.

How a SnreWu Shopttfter UTILIZED Tame
Rat.
"There have been many extraordinary
stories told of the ingenuity of thieves
in the pursuit of their nefarious calling,
but case which occurred while was
at Chatham recently beats anything
ever heard" remarked newly-arrived
Englishman to Philadelphia Inquirer
man. "a girl was brought before the
police court on the charge of robbing
milliners shops. She was only fourteen
years of age and of very innocent APP
pearance. What puzzled the magistrate
was that none of the witnesses ever saw
her take anything, or at least they
would not swear to it, although after
she had left shop where she had been
making a purchase articles of value
were missed When arrested nothing
was found upon her. The magistrate
said he could not convict the girl upon
mere suspicion, and then began to cross
examine her himself in kind, fatherly
way which touched her heart and she
broke down and confessed that she was
guilty and explained her methods to the
establishment and amusement of the
court and spectators. 1t seems that she
had tame white rat which she carried
about with her in muff. She would
enter shop full of girls and womeT
and ask the price of some article,

A Divided Town.

The town of Texarkana is on the zine
between Texas and Arkansas, with a
street-car track dividing the two. This
was thought to be very funny at first,
but now it has to have two sets of city
officers, has lost the county seat and
criminals escape from one state to
another by going six feet. The man
who stalzed out the town is dead, how
ever, and nothing can be done. -

HOW SAvAGES EAT.
Curious Customs of Semi-Civllized and
Barbarous Peoples.

Curious Customs of Semi-Civllized and
Barbarous Peoples.
In all thoroughly civilized countries
the members of a family and their
guests partake of meals while collected
around a central board, but this is not
so with the majority or even fraction
of the semi-civilized and barbarous ma
tions. The Maldivian Islanders dine
alone, retiring to the most secret parts
of their huts for the purpose of eating
their food. This custom probably arose
among them in an early period in their
history, for fear, perhaps, that another
with equally as sharp an appetite and
more bodily strength would deprive the
feaster of his meal.
The coasters of the Fiji Islands will
not eat until they can sit fiat upon the
ground directly over a triangle made Of
three small fish bones; then they only
handle the food with the left hand.
The inhabitants OF the interior of the
same islands will not partalze of food
while cloud is in sight, especially if
the cloud lies in the west, fearing that
the ''Great Air Whale" whose below
ing (thunder) is often heard in that
country, will pounc0 upon and utterly
annihilate them for such irreverence.
Unlike the Maldivians, the natives of
the Philippines are sociable to an extra
ordinary degree. Whenever one of
them finds himself without a companion
to partalze of his meal he runs till he
meets with one; and am assured that
however keen his own appetite may be
he will not venture to satisfy it without
a companion.
The natives of Sakaria never partake
of food while on the ground, but sling
the meal into woven grass bag and
mount to the thick foliage at the top Of
some high tree, where the meal is eaten
in solitary silence.
The Otaheiteans, although great Low
ers of society and very gentle in theil
manners, feed separately from eacf
other, each particular member of the
family taking his or her basket ar6
turning with back to all others in the
| room.
The Dyaks divide in pairs when the
hour arrives for taking food; the father
and mother at one platter, two sisters
at one and still two brothers at an
other. When the family is not equally
divided as to sex brother and sistel
may eat together, but this must Away

COUNTERFEIT CULTURE.
Some Plain Words About Boston's Fads BY
Writer of the Hub.

Some Plain Words About Boston's Fads BY
Writer of the Hub
Boston culture has been so generally
ridiculcd that it is a question if many
intelligent people of other cities have
not almost reached the point of entirely
discrrditing its existence. If Boston
culture is a sham it certainly deserves
all the abuse that has been heaped upon
it, but as it has an existence and is real
ly powerful factor in the intellectual
development of the Nation, it can af-
ford to smile at the fiat jokes which
many papers of other cities are so prone
to publish at its expense. Every intel
ligent citizen of Boston knows that
there is / great deal of literary, scien-
titic and artistic culture, of which we
have a right to be proud, and that there
is also here, as everywhere, a counter
felt culture which is both silly and con-
temptible.
Why should the man who reads moth
ing but the daily paper and the faces of
the cards with which he whites away
his evenings at the club lay claim to the
reverence of the outside world as be-
longing to intellectual Boston? Why
should the woman of accidental wealth,
who has hardly education enough to
write sentence of her native tongue
correctly indulge in Browning and Ibsen
fads and fancy herself as favored of
| Heaven in point of literary attainments?
1t is this false assumption of superior
ity, this hollow pretense and insuffer-
able cOunterfciting of genuine culture
by ignorant people that has brought
: Boston refinement into undeserved dis
rcpute. Home Journal.
