The Recommendations of an Italian

A young Italian doctor has published q

syncope as sure means of restoring life. The
tongue can be held fast by means of wrapping
a cloth around It, and must then be drawn

thus succeeded in restoring life. A young man

and worse than that. 1t not only has no
effect, as usual thing, upon the thing
ragged at, but it eXhausts the nerve forces
and leaves the angry person weak and
tired. A series Of outburstS will put a
woman in condition where the sani-
tarium is a necessity.
But let not the woman who simply re-
presses her emotions imagine that she is
going to escape. Repressi on of anger OF

There is only one thing to do, and that
is to cultivate charming disposition that

domain. She exacts that it shall be more

was among the bravest of them. At
Chamounix aud at Courmayeur there still
liDger stirring stories of his pluck. He
had stood in just such a peril as this was
once before. The watch he carried in his
pocket had been given MIN by an English
Apinist whose life he had saved at great
Ganger to his own.
Now. too, he could be as brave as ever,
but for single thought-the thought of
Nannette, with the laughing eyes, waiting
for him at the Mont Cervn and wondering
why he did not come. Through the mi st
and the snow he seemed to see the smile of
mingled love aud pride with which she
always welcomed him back after his
perllous excursions. Again he pictured
her anxiety deepening into terror as the
hour grew later and he did not return; her
sobs, bitter and inconsolable, when the
search party found the bodies and told
her of his end.

and they unnamed him. The thought
was more than ne could bear. Straining
every muscle to save himself from being
drawn. even now at the last moment, into
the icy cavern, he pulled the knife out OF
his pocket with his left hand and opened
it with his teeth.
''For Nannette's SAKE" he murmured, as
he drew the blade across the strands.
The strain ceased ana he was free, and
then fresh thought began to trouble him.
The first sense of relief only lasted for a
moment; the sip of brandy that he took to
revive his circulation hardly prolonged the
moment. and then he was overwhelD ed
