outside the house is like any other house

window physicians sign telling his Office

not aware there Was such q person. or
that he was one Of the best ocuiists in

word about her "reminiscences of Child
life now being published in Seribaer's
called up flood of memories Of her own
childhood from the day when she, tot of
years, formed an uufavorablc opinion
OF her nurses intelligence. because the
latter tried TO deceive her in the matter of
holding her baby sister. Tho precision
with which Mrs. Burnett remembers her
own mental states at such an early age,
and indeed all through her life, is q proof
OF the unusual intensity Of her sensations.
She remembers more things than other
people do because she has felt more things
and felt them more deeply.
Her tendency TO analyze and puzzle over
the character and motives of persons about
her Is even more developed than her tend
ency to selt-analysis. She il always put

feel as they do. This often causes her
very great suffering. for she Is affected by
the Ills and sorrows Of others almost 40
though they Gere her own--indeed, for the
time they becbme her own.
A remarkable instance Of this character
istic was furnished some weeks ago. when
the murderer Schneider Was hung In
Washington City. This man was n mlser-
able wretch, who deserved no sympathy
from any one, but that did not prevent
Mrs. Burnett from fancying herself in the
condemned mans cell during the week of
suspense which preceded his execution
Everything that he suffered in the
ing death she suffered In her iuxu-
!ious home. and probably much more,
just In proportion - she WAo 16nablo q
keelicr suffering. For several niShts BE-
fore the hanging che did not close her
eyes. When the day came she was In an
agony of suspense, not knowing whether
the man had been reprieved by the presi-
dent or not. and not daring to ask. She
spent the morning walking in the air 10
lessen her agitation, and when the clock
struck IL she knew. without having
learned 1t from anyone and in some unac-
countable way, that ali was over Then
for the first time she had some relief; at
least nothing more could happen to the
unfortunate man.
Several experiences not less cruel than
this one have taught Mrs. Barnett that
she must restrain herself from ever read.
ing the newspapers. The daily story Of
the worlds sins and sorrows would keep
her nerves in such state Of tension that
life would be unbearab!e. Besides that,
she considers American newspapers in
tenscIy vulgar.
The mention OF newspapers brought up
the subject Of the alleged likenesses Of her
which the papers are fond of publishing.
Mrs. Burnett enjoys these immensely. and
Is making careful collection of them To
each one she gives an appropriate name.
There il one which she Is particularly
proud Of. which she has labeled Madam
Burke and Hair" A dangerous, black
eyed creature taken from n Western paper
she calls The Light Of the Harem.
Most of the others are named after ceie-
bra.ed snurderesses. for Mrs. Burnett is
frequently made to look like these inter-
esting persons. She thinks there mus. be

sination TO account for these gruesomc re-

speak as she does are usually affected.
Mrs. Burnett prefers Washington City
to any other in America.

the locomotive Is that the latter has to
follow the rails. She follows nothing.
