Girl who Acts Like Paralytic.


The most astonishing instance OF
hypnotism by Suggestion comes in
report furnished by the French Society
OF Hypnology and Psychology by NJ.
Gorfdischze, an expert in mesmerlsm
The story he has to tell is of a little
girl of II in one of the French PROV
lnces, who used to accompany her cous-
in, who was country doctor, on MS
rounds, and in this way got to under
stand good many medical expressions.
One day she fell i'll. The illness was
slight and she was on the high road
to recovery when her cousin, the doc
tor, happened to say unthinkingly and
smilingly in her presence: "Oh, good
heavens! She is paralyzed!' At once the
child exhibited every symptom OF par
alysis, and she remained in that state
at the will of the doctor. Afterwards ne
asked her If she was not becoming con-
sumptive, and imm ediAtely she began
to suffer from the dreadful coughing
and blood splitting that consumptive
patients have.
She seemed so exceedingly open to
every sort of mesmeric suggestion
that the doctor tried her with half the
diseases known in the medical annals,
and one by one she responded to them
ALL He needed only to remark that she
was cured to have her perfectly wei a
| moment later. Perhaps the strangest OF
the experiences she went through was
when one of her schoolmates got pa
per pellet in her eye. From pure SYM
pathy the child imagined that she had
the same trouble, too, and she rubbed
her eye to such an extent that she felt
the pain of it for nearly g year.

nized conquest, and claimed by the latter
country to DO against her hitherto IN
broken and undisputed right of possession
acknowledged i'll the treaty of Munster,
1913, the definite treaty of Aranjuez lI9i,
and the treaty of London, 1914, which
conferred what is now British Guiana
upon Great Britain with the Essequlb DO
as its permanent western boundary;
Since 1886 Great Britain has claimed
and taken possession of 80. 600 square
miles, extending north to the mouth Oh
the Orinoco. always previously in the
possession of Venezuela and still claimed
by the republic. which area bears pop,u-
lation OF nearly 30, 900 inhabitants, to the
British calculation of 1890, in the year
book for 1891. "
OF course the State Department. and not
the Agricultural Department deals with
questions like the Venezuelan boundary
and what the Agricultural department
thinks is of little consequence, but the
fact pointed out in this publican that
between 1885 and 1886 the Statesman s
Year Book, British authority increased
the area of British Guiana by about 90
900 square miles, has a good deal OF Sig
nifcance. 1t shows apparently that the
discovery by England that Venezuela
had seized some of her territory is a
pretty recent one.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Some patriotic citizen of Prescott
Ariz., in landing his town and State,
and descanting on the wonderful riches
of the region, declared that even the
buildings of Prescott were in part OF
gold He was taken up on the assertion,
and bet resulted. A few days ago an
assay was made of sandstone being used
in the erection of some new buildings,
and the stone showed 81 per ton in gold
and twenty cents per ton in silver. 1t
wouldn't pay to mine the buildings of
PRESCOTT, but the boomer won his bet.
The Standard Oil milionaires still re-
tain their homes in Cleveland, the scene
of their early successes. John D. Rookie
Teller has two houses, one on Euclid
avenue and one out in the country near
by, ana he usually spends few weeks of
each year in one or the other of these
places.
A correspondent of The Muenchener
Neueste Nachrichten affirms that the
office of physician to the Sultan of Fan
zibar is Tar from being sinecure. Prob
ably to guard against poisoning, the I'M
happy doctor is compelled to swallow
one-half of the medicine prescribed by
him for the sick person.
The young King of Spain saw his first
bull fight the other day. His mother,
who has a horOrr of the brutal SPORT
postponed the event as long as possible;
but even tshe was unable to override the
ancient court precedent that prescribes
attendance on bull fights as part of the
education of Christian monarch. The
little chap viewed the sport without be-
traying any enthusiasm, and departed
without rewarding the successful malta
dor, in accordance with custom. And
some Spaniards therefore, fear that he
may bring discredit on his order and race
by taking stand against the national
sport when he grows to mans estate.
