who were cured at the Institute at 221 Brady St.,

Not one of these patients are now under treat

they are CURED. Today will be accepted
for treatment where a complete cannot be pro-
duced These statements are not 'catch ALL cases.

for it, and gave their statement of their free

Relies Of Shakespeare.

Mr.. Thomas Hornby of Kingsthorpe
near Northampton, has just received al
his residence from Stratford-upon-Avon
the whole of the Shakespearean relics
formerly in the possession of his grand
mother, Mary Hornby, who was the oc-
cupant of Shakespeare's birthplace from
1898 to 1920 Mary Hornby, who is pic
tnresquely described in Washington Ir-
wings "Sketchbook," removed from
Shakespeare's house in consequence Of
the rent being raised from e10 to R40 per
annrm. She took with her to her new
house, almost opposite, nearly every
think that it was possible to remove, in
cluding the locks of the doors and the
fire CRATE. There she exhibited them for
q number of years, but after her death
nothing was seen of them until they ar
rived at Northampton on the decease of
descendant of Mary Hornby, by whom
they were devised to Mr.. Hornby Of
Northampton.
They include five carved oak chairs,
one Of them being that which Washing
ton Irving said required new bottom
every three years; two large carved
oaken chests, portions of a carved bed
stead, carved table and other furniture,
fire CRATE and fire dog, all contemporary
with Shakespeare, and said to have been
his private property. There were also
such personal relics as an iron sword,
lantern, iron deed box, all reputed to
have been owned by the poet. Exchange.

Mr.. Porte-Veine, the registrar, had q
hump as large as the late Mr.. Lagar-
dere's. Baron Arthur, on the other
hand is an Israelite of the most pro-
nounced type, and any one who doubts
need only look at his features. Now the
baron and the registrar met at Nice,
where they became fast friends. When
the hour of departure struck, they mu-
tually expressed wish for a continu-
ance Of the pleasant acquaintanceship
after their return to Paris. But Baron
Arthur has scruple. In these days Of
anti-Semitic agitation he would not for
worlds impose on the good nature of his
new friend. Just before stepping into
the carriage he delivered himself as fol-

4 WICKED STATUE.
Il Bears Evil to Kim Who Disrespeotfuiiy
Talks of Spirits.


When Darius l, according to Herodo
tins. wished to erect his statue near thai
Of Raneses II (Sesostris), the priests OBJ
iected on the ground that Sesostris was
q greater conqueror than he. The statue
in question was one of several erected
before the temple of Ptah at Memphis,
on the borders of the sacred lake where
is now the village of Bedreshein. After
Memphis became Christian the renown
of its monuments died away, and when
it persisted the stones were removed to
serve in building Cairo. One colossus
remained to our day, it having been pre-
served under the sand, and on being un-
earthed by Caviglia at the beginning Of
the century was found to represent Se-
sostris in his youth.
This colossus has been visited by most
tourists in Egypt. 1t lay on the sands
near the palm of Bedreshein in q hollow
or ditch and was covered with water
during the inundation. The remains OF
the temple might be traced along the
lake, which is still represented by de-
preston in the ground covered with
wheatfields. Of late years General Ste
phenson and Major Bagnold, R. e., have
excluded the waters from the colossus,
raised it on timber supports above the
ground and surrounded it by brick
wall. On payment of 2 piasters, how
ever, it can be seen by the curious.
M. Maspero, the great Psychologist,
relates in a French contemporary that
the Arabs had formerly great awe Of
this, which they called About Hol, the
s'father of fright, as they do the Sphinx,
The ancient Egyptians, he assures us,
believed that statues, divine or human,
were animated by spirit or double"
detached from the soul of the person
they represented. This double ate,
drank and spoke or delivered oracles,
In later times the double was credited
with playing evil tricks ON those who
approached the statue and even with
killing them. His power could be de-
stroyed by breaking the statue, or at
least the features; hence 1t is that SO
many statues of the pharaohs have been
mutilated by the Arabs.
The spirit of Rameses II was supposed
to haunt the palms at night, and M.
Maspero relates that every time he
passed by in the evening toward dusk
the driver of his ass would mutter his
prayers and hurry on his beast. One
evening M. Maspero asked him IL he
was afraid of some "afrite," and the
driver begged him not to speak of such
things or some harm would befall him.
Presently M. Maspero was thrown from
the ass in the middle of the wood, and
the incident was regarded by the driver
as a punishment for his not speaking
respectfully of the spirit in the statue.
Egypt is full of such superstitions dat
ing from the far past.-Rural Collabo-
ratOr.

Pleasure. cf Llfe In Indin.

A band of poisoners is believed TO be
at work on the railways in the north
west provinces. There have been DUR
ing the past few months large number
of deaths in carriages among tho native
third class passengers travelling on the
East Indian railway. The bodies are
handed over by the railway authorities
to the police, who dispose Of them as ex-
peditiously as possible. In most cases
there is little or no property found ON the
bodies. not even railway tickets, and
generally they are found in an empty
carriage. These facts do not appear to
have awakened the suspicious Of the po-
lice, or perhaps they have recognized
their Incompetence to prevent or detect
such crimes. AS, however, the native
passengers contribute over so per cent
of coaching receipts, it is high time some
efforts were made to afford them protec-
ton for their life and property. -Bom-
