THE HYsTERICAL Sen.
Mrs. Eliza Connor Hits the Nail on the
Head

The dreary lucubrations Of the medi-
co-legai congress, now in session in New
York, were relieved Thursday last by the
recommendations of Mrs. Eliza Connor,
bright woman, VINO is neither doctor
nor lawyer. The paper which she read
contained a strong appeal TO the MEM
bers of both professions to do some
thing to cure the morbid sentiments and
tendency towards hysteria which afllict
women. Mrs. Connor hit the nail on the
head when she said that most of mans
troubles are due to overindulgence of ap-
petite and most of woman's to overin-
dulgence in emotion, that one was as
bad as the other, and that it is useless
to preach about tho duties of mother
hood when the majority of women are as
unfit to be mothers as the majority OF
men are to be fathers.
There Is wealth of common sense in
Mrs. Connors suggestions. Every doc
tor knows now true they are, though
perhaps they encourage imaginary and
hysterical ailments for the sake of bus
mess. Every lawyer knows also how
true they are and how much the maud
lin sympathy visitations and flowers ex-
pended upon their criminal clients have
done for them. The principal response
bility, however, lies with the doctor. He
is the one who should find the remedy,
for morbidness, hysteria, and oyeremo-
tionalism are as much diseases as mea-
sles or smallpox. The remedy may be
a difficult one to find, for the disease is
one which those who have it thoroughly
enjoy, and most likely they do not want
to be cured and would stoutly resist any
move in that direction. Mrs. Connor
thinks the doctors should teach hysterl-
cal and maudin women broader views
of life; that they should encourage wom-
anliness and discourage Mysteries. The
lady is right in theory but the
difficulty will be to put the theory
into practice. Mysteries upon any given
occasion, from the spectacle of a mouse
up to the sight Of a horrible disaster,
have long been considered prerogatives
of the sex, and have become so ingrained
through centuries of heredity that it will
be collosal task to eradicate them. 1t
Is noticeable that Mrs. Connor suggest
ed no remedy for the over-ndulgences
Of the masculine appetite. Perhaps she
thought it was hopeless case. All the
same, Mrs. Connor is new woman on
the right track

LITERARY NOTES.

MauhEda Binds Latest Volume of Poems.
In choosing "Brds Of Passage" as the
title of her latest volume of poems, Ma
thi.de Blind has unwittingly borrowed
from the Poet Longfeliow. Her subtitle
is Songs of the Orient and Occldent."
(Chatto & Windus) A woman of wide
culture, Miss Blind has turned her hand
to many departments of culture, always
adornins what she touched whether she
was writing the biography of Marie
Bashkirtseff; whether she has turned to
novels to invent new forms for emotions
or has turned to poetry in search of
color, mystery and charm. The princi-
pal poems in Birds of Passage" deal
with Egypt and they are rich in an or
nate Imagination. Rhetoric may be said
to be an important element in such
poem as 'The Tombs of the Kings" but
she must be said to go hand in hand with
her fairer sister, Poetry
Where is Memphis? Like mirage melt
ed into empty air:
But these royal gems yet sparkle richly
on their raven hair.
Where is Thebus in all her glory, with
her gates of beaten gold?
Where Syene, or that marvel Heliopolis
of old?
Where is Edfu? Where Abydos? Where
those pil,ared towns of yore
Whose auroral temples glittered by the
Niles thick-peopled shore?
Gone as evanescent cloud;ands, Alplike
in the afterglow;
But these kings hold fast their bodies
of four thousand years ago.
Sealed up in their mauso,eums, in the
bowels of the hills,
Where they hide from dissolution and
Deaths swiftly grinding mills.
Scattering fire, Uraeus serpants guard
the Tombs tremendous gate;
While Throth holds the trembling balance
weighs the heart and seals its fate
And a multitude of mummies in the
swaddling clothes of death,
Ferred o'er the sullen river, on and on
the rocky walls,
Crowned with stars. enlaced by sefpents,
in divine professionals,
Ibis-headed jackal-fcatured, vu.ture-
hooded, pass on high.
Gods on gods through Times perspective
pilgrims of Eternity.
1t is not only the Egypt of the past
but the Egypt of today that is celebrated
in Miss Blinds poems, though, of course,
the second attempt is rot the more sue
cessful. Lovers of Egypt are advised to
take her volume of poems and use 1t
like a rich embroidery to adorn the prose
works of Miss Edwardes.

PRIZE RECIPE FOR BREAD.

AT bread contest held in an Eastern
city not long ago a milling company Of
fered prizes ranging from s. to 800 for
the best loaves of bread. The recipe
used by the winner of the prize of 800
was: Three rints of water one-haif
Pint of milk, one tablespoonful of lard,
one tablespoonful of sugar, two table,
spoon fuls of salt and one yeast cake.
The ingredients, which were first thor
oughly mixed, and then kneeded ten min
utes, were raised over night in cover
ed bread pan. In the morning the dough
was kneeded ten minutes, and made into
three loaves. Three other loaves entered
in the contest wer awarded S75 prizes.
One of these loaves seems to have been
prepared in a somewhat unusual way.
The ingredients for the dough were two
thirds milk to one-third water COM
pressed yeast, and a little salt and sugar,
and were mixed with enough flour to
make a stiff dough. This dough was
mixed, kneeded and set to rise at rip
When light, it was chopped thoroughly
with chopping knife, made into loaves
and set to rise the second ti-'e; when this
was light it was baked for.y minutes.

REASONS FOR EVERYTHING.

Coleridge is always finding plausible
reasons for everything; proving that his
widest schemes are the dictates OF plain
common sense, framing marvellous and
elaborate explanations of his conduct,
while the reader at once perceives that
he is all the while simply obeying his
fancies and his Incidence. He dreams,
when he is publishing the Friend, that he
is acting in the most businesslike way
and almost persuades his familiars that
he is at last striking into a judiciDus
path Yet he is all the time dawdling
in the old fashion, and throwing away
twice as much energy in writing letters
about his plans as would have enabled
him TO carry them out punctual.y ana
effectively. When the dream has become
a thing Of the past he will perceive its
weakness as clearly as anybody and give
vent to the passionate regret which
would be OF some use if it could be turned
into stimulus to future action. And yet,
there is something so pathetic and omia-
BILE, in his lamentations and his aspira-
tions that we feel that reproaches would
have been harsh at the time and cruel
in the retrospect.
Co,eridge's letters bring out very cur
iously the way in which his friends were
affected by his singular vagaries He
supplies not only the text but the com
ment. He is fully aware of all Giat car
be said in the matter. There is a curious
bit of analysis, for example, OF the char
acters of himself and his wife, given
when the first thought of separation had
occurred. Nobody could explain the diff
ference better Mrs. Coleridge, he OBJ
serves, "has an innocent mind, but 1t
uniformly projects itself forth to recrim-
mate instead of turning Itself inward
with a silent se1f-questioning." The Ma
tional Review.

ESKIMO MARRIAGE.

In the land of the Eskimo where Cupid
as elsewhere, plays his part, the rules
and regulations pertaining to marriage,
or perhaps it were better to say the pub.
lie license, is decidedly novel and de-
pends on the prowess and strength of the
masculine aspirant.
An Eskimo youth is qualified to marry
when he has succeeded in killing polar
bear unaided, this feat being regarded
as proff that he is capable of provid-
ing for the wants of family He starts
forth at night to secure a wife, which
he does by seizing the first girl he can
surprise unawares. She naturally
screams and wrGds the entire population
of the village about her, and they, by
raining sealskin scourges upon the shoul-
ders of the wou.d-be husband, aid the
maiden in escaping. He pursues, run
ming the gant!et of kicks and bplfets un-
til he again secures his lady love.
Should she once more escape and be re-
taken a third time by her amorous pur-
suer, the maiden accepts her fate and
becomes the young mans wife. In Green
land the missionary is called to act as
the matrimonial agent, and the we'd
ding usually takes place upon the same
day the proposal is made.-J. Florence
Wilson in Godey's Magazine.
