st. VItus' Dance.

At La Charlie l saw little girl suffer-
ing from St. Vitus' dance brought to
the hospital for treatment. The child
could not stand still or holds her hands
still, or even control her voice suffic-
iently to say "Bonjour, NJ. Luys." A
strong, well-built woman was hypno-
tZed, and the child's hands were placed
in hers. By the aid Of highly charged
magnets the nervous twitchings of the
child were passed into the woman until
her strong frame was convulsed by
them. She could not stand still, her
hands were in continual movement,
and, strangest of all, when told TO say
"Bonjour NJ. Luys," she spoke in the
same hesitatlng jerking manner as the
child had done. The youngster, on the
contrary, was perceptiblv relieved, but
the doctor told me that such relief only
lasted for few hours at first, and SINH
lar transfers would have to be made
daily for weeks before the cure was
complete.
I have seen the child several times
since she has been following the treat
ment; she saws herself that she is bet
ter, and certainly the convulsive move
ments OF the body and members are
less marked. Mysteries, partial paraly-
sis, and nervous accidents are success
fully treated by such transfers as that
described. The subject to whom the
disease has been transferred is allowed
to sleep quietly for few minutes, and
on being awakened neither feels nor re-
members the sufferings undergone
while in hypnotic sleep.-Paris Cor

The Gheauer in Burmah.

In Burmese dramas scenic effect is
entirely dispensed with, the stage being
SIMPLY platform decorated with flags.
When the actors and actresses have
said their parts they step down from
the platform to st among the audience
and smoke their cheroots until it is
time for them to go on again. No dress
ing-rooms are provided for them. and
they are, therefore, compelled to make
up before the admiring gaze of the
audience. The play is, as a rule, far
too realistic to please respectable Euro
peans, but the Burmese follow the for
tunes of prince and princess-the chief
characters are almost invariably royal
personages-with the greatest interest.
The performance generally commences
at o'clock at night, and frequently the
doings of the hero and heroine are
strung out TO such an enormous length
that day break finds the actors still per-
forming and the aud ence as interested
rs ever. Sometimes tn play is so long

MOunCanner jim.

Speaking of exceptional physical
strength reminds me of an experience |
had during the Black Hills excite
ment," said Thomas McHenry. II
went out there on prospecting tour,
and during the long stage journey had
as fellow passenger slender, girlish-
looking fellow who seemed to live ever
in dream. He talked as little as pos
sible, blushed when spoken to, and
looked as harmless as kitten. He was
one of those fellows that you feel like
taking under your protection. You
think that Providence madea blunder
liz not making them women. [ sat and
watched his dreamy, delicate face, and
wondered what would become of him
in the rough, brawling society of the
hills.
FINALLY we picked up three as tough
looking specimens of the genus bad
man as / ever laid eyes on. They were
full of fighting whisky, and singled out
the young 'tenderfoot' as an easy vic
tim. They trod on his toes, fell over
him, insisted on his drinking with
them, and took his refusal as q personal
affront. He assured them that no Of
Tense was meant, but they were not to
be Modified. By the time we stopped
to change horses they had become
shockingly abusive. Turning to me he
said with smile OF angelic sweetness:
please get out for moment, some
thing is going to happen l Opened
my mouth to assure him that | would
stanc by him, but there was something
in his face that told me he was able to
take care of himself. The etfeminacy
was gone, and the dreamy gray eyes
had a greenish-yellow CLEAN similar to
those OF an angry tiger,
Il stepped out and closed the door
behind me. A moment later there
came a sound from the interior Of the
stage, and it was not the sound Of rev.
elry. 1t more resembled a drunken
cannon bali playing hide and-seek in
boiler factory. A moment later the
bad mem began to come through the
wooden door without waiting to open
it; when the last one was out the young
fellow called to me. to come IN; He
handed me a half-pint flask OF Dead
wood liquor, and | lowered the high
water mark an inch. Then he drank
the rest Of it without stopping for
breath, and relapsed into his old
dreamy state without a word. Present.
ly one of the bad men put his head
through the wrecked door and looked
the youngster over with envious ad-
miration. Finally he asked: Say

ster nodded, and the bad man
turned to his companions, who were
crawling out of the tail grass by the
roadside, and bawled: Say, fellers,

A SnowBa all Fight.

Reading a sketch by James Parton in
the New York Ledger, some time ago.
about Pretty Dolly Madison" the mis-
tress Of the White House when Wash
ington was captured by the British,
made me think OF an incident that
occurred during the late civil war.
The cavalry regiment to which I be-
longed was encamped on the Montpel-
Ter farm in Virginia, the home of
President Madison. Many time have
I visited his tomb and thought what
our country was before it was torn up
by civil war.
1t twas early spring in 1864 when the
event [ en- about to relate took place.
In copse OF woods about a mile from
US, was a division ofinfantry encamped,
which was commanded by that brave
and gallant officer, Gen. J. B. Gordon,
now senator of the United States from
Georgia.
One night there was a snow storm,
and when we aWoke the next morning
the hills were like midw1nter, clothed
in white. While we were getting ready
for breakfast, we heard a shout from q
hill not far from our camp. and saw a
long line ofmen daring us out for a snow
ball fight. Forgetting our breakfast,
our whole camp rushed out, and Tor a
while tie air was filled with the white
bullets.
The cavalry drove the infantry off the
hills back to their camp, and then re-
turned to their own camp to proceed
with their breakfast, leaving picket on
duty.
1t was not long before the picket was
run in, and reported the infantry re-
turning with heavy achievements.
Things began to look desperate. 1t
was in the years when rations were
scarce, when blankets were few and
only here and there cooking utensil in
camp.
Our whole camp was puzzled. We
knew that we didn't have men enough
to withstand the coming onslaught. We
knew, too, if We were beaten back and
out of our camp. "that to the victor be-
long the spoils," and the few spoils we
bad we're very dear to us. Something
must be done. and done quickly.
A council of war was called at once.
Rank and file composed that council. 1t
was decided to send out flag of truce,
with the request that each side choose
100 men, and 90 out in field and decide
the issue of battle. True to the instincts
of every Southern heart, equality was
all that was asked.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1893-01-11

The other side accepted the proposal.
When the time came for the cavalry
to muster their 100 men, they could
not get over seventy-tive volunteers.
However, we marched our seventy
five men into the field, commanded by
our brave major, the colors of our regi-
ment carried in by as brave and gallant
q soldier as ever wore saber, glori-
Gus fellow in war and peace, Little
Jimmie" as he was called in the regi
ment. We took our position in line of
battle, the infantry in their line 200 or
800 yards off, with a regiment or two of
their comrades looking on.
Soon We heard the word "Charge,"
from the infantry, and on they came
with a shout and whoop such as Con-
federate soldier knows how to give.
Orders came ringing down our line:
STEADY, boys steady Receive their
charge %
They came at dash, and we with
stood their charge and soon had them
broken all to pieces and on the run.
We charged them for mile and drove
them into their camp. We captured
hats and various other things, and if we
had had few more men could have
taken the whole camp.
The day was ours; we saved the camp
and property and we were happy.
Wherever they may be scattered now,
can any Of those who took part in those
grand old days ever forget that snow
ball fight on the Montpelier Farm !

PULLING TEETH.

A Colorado school teacher has dis
covered new way of disciplinins his
pupils. When they disobeyed him he
pulled their teeth.
He had in this way taken eight
teeth from one boy when the citizens
stepped in and adjusted him with shot
guns. The foundation of much of the
dyspepsia in this world comes from
poor teeth.
When you are tormented in this
way see the dentist first and next get a
box of the Laxative Gum Drops.
These gum drops treat constipation,
dyspepsia and indigestion in a con5ti-
tutional manner. They act SO gently
and quietly that at first you may think
that they are having no effect upon
you, but they will perfectly renovate
your entire system if their use be per
sisted in. Get them of any dealer.
The small boxes are ten cents, the
large ones twenty-five cents.
