A WIDE TOPIC.
<sNhat Eject Has Fright and Fear
Upon the Physical ROdy:"

Dear Brothers and Slsters-The above
topic assigned to me. and on which I
am expected to discourse. surely con-
tains breadth and depth enough 10 give
Us a wide field for investigation and dis
cussion.
That thought has effect upon the phys
zeal body but few. if any, deny in this
age of investigation and enlightenment
But what effect any special quality
of thought has upon the body is far
less recognized and understood. Thus.
in regard TO fright and fear. while the
more observant. who investigating along
the lines Of advanced thought. and are
ever on the alert To detect cause and
effect, have noted the fact that both
fright and fear do effect the physical
body. there are those who. if they note
it at all give il but little thought and
less heed.
Fright and fear are the same quality
of thought and differ only in degree of
rapidity and intensity Of the emotion.
Fright being that Of sudden intensity of
action. its effects being cOrrespOndingly
violent, are more readily perceived. II
causes the heart to almost cease its Of
fee OF circulating the blood. producing
a chill and pallor Of the body weak
ness OF the muscular system, causing
trembling Of the limbs, with loss Of
action. loss Of speech and a general
weakness OF all the organs of the phys

fainting insanity and even death. DR.
Dewey says: Some have died from sud-
den fright, which paralyzed the action

says. Some people faint repeatedly for

Bon tne charleston News and courIer.


FROM the Charleston News and Courier.
Not many days ago a well-knowu
Charlestonian was standing in King street
when a spruce-looking young man, well
dressed, clean shaven and pleasant man
nered, walked up and said:
Excuse me, but can you make any use
OF these;' handing out a pair of gold
trimmed spectacles as he spoke
The Charleston man took the glasses
and turned them around while the young
man continued: II picked them up few
minutes ago and they are of no service to
me-"
AT this point the Charleston man put
the glasses on his nose and found that he
could see very well, took them of and
looked at the bows again and said:
Yes they fit me very well, but why do
you offer them to me-"
Only because l thought you might
like to have them, and they are worth
something no doubt. Iwould take dol
lar for them, though no doubt they ara
worth ten, but as | found them l don't

He turned and there was the spruce
young man extending pair of gold

me four days ago in King street."
And it didn't work ehs" said the
spectacle fakir with cool impudence as he
started for the door
No; nor will it work now You are
either very poor salesman or else you
find spectacles too often"
And that was his game. This same
fakir has probably sold dozens of pairs of
twenty-cent glasses in shiny brass"
rings for dollar or two per pair right
here IN Charleston. He pays no license,
carries no heavy baggage, and can afford
to laugh over the gullibility of man.
That he IS clever at his business no one
will deny, and it would be a hard matter
to stop his tricks or punish him in a
court of law, but he should be shown up

Slater, of this city with his family and a
party of friends, will start in june on a
world-girdling trip that will last two
years and cost 81 900 COO The Yacht,
which will be called Eleanor, will be of
steel, l,O80 tons burden, and is being
built at the Bath Iron Works. She is
23l feet long, and will be fitted to sail or

The Eleanor will steam directly to
Norway, spend the summer of 1894 in

ward go to St. Petersburg. A run
through the Mediterranean will follow,
and then the yacht will pass through the
SueZ canal into the Indian ocean.
The ship may reach India during the win
